JUDGE BRADLEY'S DECISION.



WASHINGTON, March 27--Tnere was
great interest here to learn the de-
cision OF Judge Bradley upon the admis-
sbility of dispositions impeachirg the
character Of Madeline Vinton Pollard,
which the Breckinride forces had Off
cred and t. which the plaintiff opposed
with numerous objections.
Regarding the sweeping denial of the
right to take any dispositions de bene
esse under the act of congress creating
the court. the judge said the judiciary
act of 1879 conferred the right in broad
terms upon any party to any civil act
in any court OF the United States.
There We're other grounds upon which
he sustained the regularity of deposi-
tions as whole.
The dispositions of Brand and Kauf.
man were also admitted. but the judge
spoke very sharply of those last two,
saying they We're utterly unfit to be
read before the court, he would gladly
exclude them if h. could. and expressed
hope that the counsel would see fit to
omit the disgracetuily obscene matter
in them.
He sustained objections made to the
dispositions of john OToole. DR. Green
and DR. Lewis that they were based on
hearsay DR.. Lewis is the physician
who testified that Colonel Swope, late
Republican candidate for congress i'll
the Lexington district. had asked him
to perform n criminal operation upon
Miss Pollard.
The dispositions Of Mrs Miller and
of Roselle. who had been engaged to
Miss Pollard while she was in Wes-
leyan institute. were admitted on the
ground they bore on the plaintiffs
claim that she was a mere girl when
she first met Breckenridge, Each side
filed objections to rulings against it.
Then Judge Bradley made few re-
marks i'll the interest of public moral
ity, as he said 1.-THE court has been del
uged with anonymous letters in this
case Many of them referred to the
publication of the trial, and while the
court could exercise no censorship over
the press, he suggested the papers
should omit improper details. as he
thought some of these details if pub
lished would subject the papers to ex-
clusion from the mails as obscene mat
ter. Moreover. it was almost calam-
ity to the city of Washington and the
country at large that such matter
! should be carried broadcast into its
| homes"

With Live Wires.

NEW YoRK March 27.-In a scrim-
mage at the Grand street bridge over
Newtown creek Deputy Sheriff Meyer
was severely burned by a live trolley
wire. Some workmen of the Brooklyn
City Railway company were engaged
in stringing wires on the bridge when
commanded by force of deputy sher-
ifs to stop in the name of the law. One
of the wo-kmen wearing rubb gloves
placed the end of n charged wire against
Meyers neck, and he dropped to the
veyed home in badly shocked condi.
ton. The rest of the deputies were
put to flight by the workmen, who then
proceeded to string the wires on the
bridge.

Beatty Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, OF Wash
lngton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
and shipping more organs and pianos
than ever. In 1870 MIR. Beatty left
home penniless pillow boy, and by his
indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell, so far, nearly
100, 900 of Beatty's pianos and organs
since 1870. Nothing seems to dis
hearten him; obstacles LAID in his way
that would have wrecked any ordinary
man forever, he turns to an advertise
ment and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to be
found in all parts of the world. We
are informed that during the next ten
years he intends to sell 100000 more
of his make; that means business of
$40, 900, 900, if we average them at
500. 90 each. 1t is already the larSest
business of toe kind in existence. 1t
