THE PoLLARD-BRE OXEN RIDGE
TRIAL.-In the trial at Washington
of Miss Madeline Y. Pollard's suit
against Congressman VIM. G. P.
Breckenridge for $4,000 for alleged
breech of promise of marriage, j Judge
Bradley announced that he would
take no judicial notice the person
al conflict between counsel, which
occurred outside the courtroom
door on Monday. Judge Bradley
called attention to the law against
carrying concealed weapons, and
announced that he had been inform
ed that some Of the counsel for
Colonel Breckenridge were armed.
Each of the counsel arose and said
that he carried no weapons. The
Judge ruled out certain dispositions
objected to by Colonel Brecken-
ridges counsel and admitted one by
DR.. Mary Logan to which objection
had also been made by Colonel
Breckenridge. Mrs Logan's testi-
mony was read. 1t related to the
birth of a child in Cincinnati in 1884
by young girl who gave the name
of Monica Burgoyne. Sister Cece-
liza, a Sister of Charity, testified to a
patient in the Catholic Convent, in
Norwood, O. The identity of the
lady, who all through the trial has
accompanied Miss Pollard, was es-
tablished on Wednesday, when the
attorney for the plaintiff called the
name of DR.. Belle Buchanan, of Gin
cinnati. The entire evidence has
been very sensational, and very
damaging to the defendant,

A SALABLE CoMMoDITY.-The col
umns of newspaper represent cash
value. No paper can afford to give
advertising or "notices" free any
more than merchant can toss over
the counter free gifts of dry goods
or shoes. A newspaper is legiti.
mate business institution; its col
umns are it's stock in trade, and its
announcements should be paid for,
no matter in what part of the paper
they appear. 1t is, no doubt, policy
for a paper to reciprocate when
courtesies in the shape of job print

beyond that the rule should be abso-
lutte. No pay, no free advertising OIL

ALBUM QUILT.-Mrs. G. S. Moore,
of this city owns a quilt which can
we'll be considered a relic OF St.
Johns Lutheran Church. 1t was
presented by their members to Rev.
John Winter, while pastor of this
congregation in 1846 and 184T, near
ly fifty years ago. The quilt is made
of squares with names inscribed on
each square. Rev. Mr.. Winter died
at Clearspring, Md. At his sale this
quilt was sold and purchased by
Mrs. Moore's father who afterward
presented it to his daughter Many
of the names inscribed upon this
quilt are now also inscribed upon
tomb-stones in our cemetery. The
material upon which these names are
inscribed are perishable, both the
stone and the quilt, posterity too,
may forget their deeds, yet their
labors of love and kindness have had
their effect and reward.
There are relatives still living OF
those whose name embellish this
quilt who will take pleasure in see
ing them here recorded. Some names
too are so oblite-ated that they can,
not be deciphered. The following
are some of the names: Marie Jobe,
Oct. 10, 1916; Catharine Curtis, 1S46;
Mary L. Gerhard; Caroline Louisa
Duble; Margaret Murphy, 1S47;

No BETTER. When people talk
about there being better State than
West Virginia, every potato slightly
winks its eye, every cabbage shakes
its head, every beet gets red in the
face, every onion feels stronger. every
oat field is shocked, rye strokes its
beard, corn sticks up its ears, and
every foot of land kicks. The horses
even denounce the statement with a
neigh and the printers grab their
shooting sticks.-New Dominion.

STUDIES OF THE STAGE. Mr.
Brander Matthews claims for his
little volume of Studies Of he Stage,
just published by the Harpers, a
different point of view from that of
"most other papers about plays and
playrights." "While the theatrical
critic in general he says in the pre-
face to his work, ''looks at the
drama from his seat in the orchestra,
my standpoint has always been the
stage itself" In these views from
the wings he includes such subjects
as "The Dramatization of Novels, p"
sThe Dramatic Outlook inAmerica,'
shakespeare, Moliere, and Modern
English Comedy" THE Old Come
dies" and ga Plea for Farce"

The FORMAL OPENING The new
route from Sandy Hook to Harper's
Ferry, via the B. & O. r. R., was
formally opened Monday, at 9.45
m. About two miles of the old route
was abandoned and the old bridge
will not be used for railroad pur.
poses. The Improvement cost about
three hundred thousand dollars, which
includes two miles of double track,
which is the first double track that
ever spanned the historic Potomac.
A magnificent double-track tunnel
875 feet in length, under Maryland
heights, also nine span iron bridge
over 1000 feet long. The bridge is
s feet higher than the old one and
built to stand any freshet likely to
occur.
The following railroad officials
who have had this work in charge,
were on the grounds to witness the
grand success of their final efforts ::
Messrs. Thomas Fitzgerald, general
superintendent; j. D. Spurrier, as
sistant superintendent; I h m s
Ounce, superintendent of Valley
branch; John 7. Martin, the man of
all trades, and one the B.& o should
be proud of; D. I. Fendel, w. T..
Manning, chief of engineering de-
partment Walter Aneker, and OF +
old friend D. K. Hauk, who has
charge of the freight department
The passenger department was well
represented by Mr.. G.. E. Dudrow.
W. L. Sisson, resident engineer,
Morris Milton, assistant resident en-.
gineer, who have had immediate
charge of the work ever since its be-
ginning. II. n. Riley and j. I.
Riley had charge of the linesmen.
No. 80 was the last train to pass
over the old route going east, and
No. l3 the last train going west. At
ter the last train had passed, the
large force of hands commenced their
work of connecting the road to the
new bridge. The way each man
worked showed that he understood
his instructions we'll. In just one
hour and five minutes after the work
was commenced it was completed
and ready for the first engine to pass
over. Engine Ala, run by Peter
Souders, fireman G. E. Lawton, con-
ductor Roger Walls, Mr.. j. t. Mar
tin, B. & o. official, run the engine
and Jas. F. Thompson took charge
of the firing, and Mr.. Chas. Town
send warned the people by ringing
the bell and blowing the whistle.
There was a large crowd Of people
on hand, fully five hundred. Har-
per's Ferry had on its holiday attire
We can state with all candor that
never in our lives have we examined
more complete work than that done
by the B. & O. The travelling pub
lie can now feel perfectly safe in
their travels over the famous and
picturesqe B. & o. r. r.
We were informed by the chief en-
| gineer, Mr.. W. I. Manning, that
they were going to build a new de
pot l00x50 feet, and that it would
be one of the finest along the line o.
the road, something that has been
needed very much at Harper's Fer
~. A suitable monument should
mark the spot where the famous
John Brown Fort stood. The off.
cials of the B. & o. were more thar
pleased with the excellent manner in
which everything passed off Thu:
