PECULIAR CASE FOR DAMAGES.

Son Sues a Farmer Charging Him
With Causing His Mothers Death.
PoUGHKEPsIE, N. Y, March g. 1894.-A
peculiar case in which the administ1 ators of
of Mrs. Sarah Milton are striving to place
the responsibility of her death upon her
neighbor, Ambrose Knapp, and to mulct
him for damages, is on trial before Judge
Cullen and jury here. Knapp sold a cor

the highway. Knapp got the Highway
Commissioners to order the old road closed.
Then Knapp had gates built across the road
in front of his farm. Mrs. Millions only
way to reach the main highway then was
over the railroad track.
November 10 last, summoning her two
grandsons to assist her, the old lady pro-
ceeded to tear down the gates. Farmer
Knapp pulled out of her hand a fence rail-
A splinter tore an ugly cash in her left
hand. Blood poisoning set in and Mrs. Mil

The children had Knapp arrested on a
man discharged him. Then James Milton,
the eldest son, began the action now before
the court, in which he claims damages for
his mothers death
The defence sought to prove that Mrs Mil
ton was trespasser and that her death was
directly due to incompetent medical treat
ment
Judge Cullen charged the jury that Mrs.
Milton had q right to remove any obstruc-
tion that prevented her from travelling on
the highway, without interference from
Knapp.
The jury's duty, he said, was to determine
whether her death was directly due to her
encounter with Knapp.
The jury went out last night.

y )ur wife"
Then Colonel Breckenridge id:-"The
reason have become engaged SO soon is that
/ thought had discovered Miss Pollard's
feelings towards me, and as an honorable
man I thought should ask her to marry
me-"
I said:-sYou certainly have taken an
honorable view of the matter, Colonel
Breckinridge.n
Breckenridge had asked her to take Miss Pol
lard to Europe with her, but she was obliged
to decline
DENIED HIS ENGAGEMENT TO MRS. WING.
When rumors of his engagement to Mrs.
Wing, his present wife, were being circu-
lated, Col. Breckinridge had denied to the
witness that there was any such relationship
between Mrs. Wing and himself, and begged
Mrs. Blackburn to contradict these stories,
which would, he said, injure him with his
family.
Mrs. Blackburn told of another incident
between Miss Pollard and Colonel Breckin-
ridge at her apartments in Washington.
The two had called on her and Miss Pollard
had knelt down beside Colonel Breckenridge,
and putting her arms about him, said
"Willie will you name the day before
Mrs BlacKburn~

inridge ''but will come back and tell Mrs

Mrs Blackburn told of how she was dis
satisfied with Colonel Breckinridge's actions
toward other women and informed him that
she thought he had not treated her fairly.
Last May she was in New York, and while
there received kilograms from Breckenridge
asking her to see Miss Pollard, who was also
in New York.
Mr.. Carlisle produced the kilograms, but
the defence objected, and they We're not
read.
Mrs. Blackburn was cross-examined by
Colonel Thompson in the usual manner, and
became somewhat nervous and excited under
the strain.
ut is useless she said, 'sto ask me any
more questions. l have told everything
know concerning this case, and all further
questions are useless"
She added, with tears in her yes;-''It is
terrible ordeal for me to pass through here,
and which a man has forced me to. If had
the protection of husband it would never
have been necessary"

THE BOMB EXPLOSION IN ROME
Pope Leo Interested I'm Learning All
the circumstances.

tne CtrcumibtaHcess
BIZ Gable to the United Press.
ROME, March 9, 1S94.-One of the men in
iured by the explosion of the bomb in front
of the Chamber of Deputies, died in the
hospital this morning.
The Pope is deeply interested in learning
the circumstances of the explosion, and has
directed that an inquiry be made into the
details by attaches of the Vatican for his
own information. His Holiness is anxious to
keep thoroughly informed of the develop
ments of the present Anarchistic activity,
and in the event of a political crisis fears
that the Vatican itself may be endangered.
1t is stated that the Holy Father is seeking
from the Government guarantees OF the
safety of the Vatican in any event.
The Anarchists have spread throughout
the city, and particularly among the work
ingmen, thousands upon thousands of cir
culars prescribing the bomb as the only and
infallible remedy for the ills from which
the poorer classes are suffering.
Almost every hour fresh theories as to the
motives impelling the throwing of the bomb
are supplied to the police by self-consti-
tuted Investigators into the affair. The
police authorities are inclined to the
belief that the intention was to explode
the bomb in the Chamber of Deputies,
which, fortunately, adjourned some time
before the usual hour, owing to the lnd1spo-
sition of Premier Crispi. A large part of
yesterdays proceedings in the Chamber were
devoted to the question of the prosecution of
Joseph De Felico-G -Giuffrida, the Socialist
Deputy of Catania, whose case has been dis
cussed in the Chamber several times of late.
1t is assumed that the Anarchists regarded
this as an attack upon themselves and had
planned an explosion in the midst of the
Deputies in retaliation. There are others
who believe that the action of the Deputies
in rejecting proposal to hold national ex-
position in Rome, the acceptance of which
would have given employment to large
number of workmen, was the melting cause
of the explosion, and this theory is made
somewhat plausible by the fact that an at
tempt was made by workingmen last night
to forcibly enter the palace of Prince Odes-
calchi, who was the principal opponent OF
the project
The military guard which was detailed to
surround the Princes palace last night is
still maintained, and no further attempt has
been made to force an entrance.
The prisoner Polidori, who is believed by
the police to be the man who threw the
bomb, still protests his innocence. He has
none of the bravado of the typical Anarchist,
and if he really is the perpetrator of the
deed, his appearance and manner certainly
belle his sanguinary character.

TRENTON, March 9, 1s94.-The monotonous
tones of Chairman Storrs of the Thompson

names on ballots, was the chief characteristic
of yesterdays session of the committee. It
was held in the large reception room of the
Speakers suite, and as drawing attraction

wrapping paper, and the paper was taken
off the box of the Second precinct of the

Mr.. Storrs took to pieces in the morning,
until yesterday morning. The package pre-
sented no appearances of having been
tampered with. The committee then decided
to count the contents of the three Gloucester
City boxes in their regular order.

was called to identify the box of the First
ward This was then opened. The tally
sheet showed that 500 votes were cast for

count resulted in taking four from Thomp-

AN IMMIGRANTS HARD LUCK.
Disabled For Life On Her Way to
This Country.

Disabled For Life On Her Way to
This Country.
WASHINGTON, March 9, 1S94.-A pathetic
immigration case is now pending before As
sistant Secretary Curtis of the Treasury De
partment. A woman recently arrived in
Boston from Ireland SO badly injured that
she had to be taken from shipboard to a
hospital on a stretcher. 1t was put in evI-
dence that when the woman embarked she
was sound in limb and healthy in body. She
prepaid her passage and had a little money
left over. On the trip across by a sudden
lurch of the ship, she was thrown against the
side of the vessel and sustained such serious
injuries that she was put to bed. The inn
migrant doctors certified that she was pro-
ably permanently disabled for life. She had
some distant relatives in this country but
they were poor and could not, even If will
ling to do so, support her In this state of
the case she was ordered to be returned to
Ireland as likely to become public charge.
Her relatives in Ireland it is said, are poorer
than those here. Hitherto she has sup
ported herself and by the joint efforts Of
herself and her relatives in this country she
had accumulated money to pay her passage
to this country. The case comes to the
Treasury Department on appeal and is
puzzling treasury officials not a little.

Alexander Rorique, now under sentence of
death in France for mutiny, pirae. and
murder on board the Haytian schooner
Minerahiti in January, 1892 has become a
matter of international concern, Shortly
after their trial and condemnation in Brest,
last December, it was learned that the men
were Belgians and that their proper name
was Degraeve, not Rorique. Friends of the
condemned men at once began an agitation
in Belgium looking to governmental inter
forts have met with success to the extent of
inducing the government to appeal to France
to have the trial reheard in Belgium, on the
grounds that the prisoners are Belgians. If
this can be brought about it will at least
save the lives of the prisoners, as capital
punishment in Belgium has been abolished.
