His Throat Attacked and His Condi-

HIS Throat Attacked and His Condi-
tion Extremely Critical.
Washington March 20. Senator Colquitt
OF Georgia, has again been stricken with
paralysis, this time in the throat, and his
condition is serious. Senator Colquitt
was in his committee room yesterday in
his usual health and just prior to his de-
parture for home dictated a number of
letters to his clerk lie did not complain
OF feeling unwell beyond the effects of his
previous stroke, from which, however, he
has recently improved. he having been
able to get into the Senate chamber with
out the use of his wheeling chair.
The first attack came two summers
ago, and was attributed to overwork. The
second attack came during the night, and
although the senator is reported better
to-day, his condition is critical Thepart
directly affected this time is the throat,
and it is impossible to give him nourish-
ment or for him to speak. Physicians
have been In attendance since the attack
came on, but no prediction is made as TO
the ultimate outcome of this second at
tack, which affects part of the body
that makes Mr.. Colquitt's condition ex-
tremely critical.
THE WORST FEARED.
Washington, March 21, 1890 A. Nj
have Just left Senator Colquitt's house.
He had fallen into Il slumber and his son
and daughter arc watching by the bed
side. DR. Walsh has prepared the family
for the worst, although he says there is Il
chance for him to rally. "From what the
doctor has told US" Walter Colquitt said,
THE chances are against his recovery.
He is just able to swallow, but that is all
The doctor says there will be no changes
until morning. Father is slumbering and
we can only hope for the better when he
wakes"
Mr.. Hugh Colquitt is with
the senator Mrs. Colquitt Is quite over
come and great anxiety is expressed for
her should she realized the saddest ending
to her husbands illness Deep regret is ex-
pressed by the senator's conferees in the
upper chamber, and many have called
during the night extending their sym
pathy and offering any assistance which
may be needed. Senator Colquitt at
midnight is very low. Anxious Georgians
are calling at every moment inquiring
after him. Speaker Crisp, his old friend,
has been with him most of the time
While the attending physician consid-
ers the senator's condition very serious,
yet he has no apprehensions of dissolu-
tion tonight.

BACKED BY SOCIETY PEOPLE.

Cincinnati, March 20.-Mrs. DR.. Blu
chanan, who testified in Washington in
behalf of Miss Pollard, consented tonight
to an interview in the presence of
her attorney. Among other things,
she said that when she was about
to leave for Washington she learned
from Miss Pollard attorneys, and from
her own lips again that the society people
of Washington had quietly raised fund
for her TO carry on her case with. I was
told the same story in substance before
left Cincinnati by Guy MalIon, who was
Miss Pollard S attorney here"
How do you account, Mrs. Buchanan,
for the fund being so quietly raised by
the society people Of Washington
"Well in the first place while Washing
ton society is, Of course, keeping very
quiet with reference TO this case, it
is in general very indignant at
Col. Breckinridge for Introducing
Madeline Pollard there under the circum-
stances he did. This feeling amounts to
positive bitterness in many instances, and
society is resolved to be avenged BY
this, I mean, introducing her as his in
tended wife. The feeling towards Miss
Pollard there is very lenient
miss Pollard Is very confident in pri
vate that she will win her case She is,
in fact, positive that she will win and
often speaks that way. Her attorneys,
too are confident and 1 know that the re-
port about their serving without compen-
sation is correct"

Evelyn had not associated with. be-
cause she had prejudice. This,
too, was the best one to produce
good sterling hatred on any slight oc-
casion. 1t was Il religious one. Mrs.
Evelyn was a self-righteous woman,
and deemed all sinners who We're
less rigid than herself in outward
show; one Of those who most unfOr-
tunately bring religion more into dis
taste with the wayeriDg than an act
ually bad person would do. for per-
sons universally admitted to be good
and upright. when cold and stern, and
Implying, cause a natural diStaSte to
the ideas eSpoused by them. True,
religion is charitable, loving, cheerful,
and generous in its judgment of 9th
ers. Mrs. Evelyn's was all brlStleS and
briarS, the one to ward off the ap-
proach of sinners, for fear of pollution,
the other to catch their unlucky gar
ments, and rending them, bare their
vices in naked u.,liness to the eye.
She had no idea of first casting a man
tie Of charitableneSS over them, and
then secretly healing the wounds be-
meath. No; she at once held up the
sinner to public shame, and of course
reaped only reckl ,ssncss!
However, to return to our subject.
there was this neighboriny family,
composed of exactly the same proper
tiOns as her own, but of a different
seX-a widow and son. The father a
few years her senior; the son. twelve
years of age; but then the father was
a very worldly man, and never had

pecially to the Woodworking man,

she endeavored to withdraw all pat
ronage and aid, unless they conformed
to certain ideas of her own.
During Mr. Evelyn's lifetime his

,rhe court Mt Fargo Refuses to Grant

of the Montana Millionaire TO the
Humble Young Girl.

Fargo, n. D.. Dec. 1.-The Hirshfleld
case is ended. and the yonng bride OF
the Montana millionaire has been de
clared by court OF equity TO De IL
legal wife. Judge Mcdonnell gave the
decision denying the Application or
Aaron IIirshfeld for the annnlment or
the marriage contract at the concius-
ion of arguments OF counsel. Inc ue-
ciSon was given orally. the court stat
ing it did not care 10 point out teSti-
mony unworthy af Credence. Inc
plaintiffs claim, he said. that two
armed meu forced him to accompany
the defendant to tho office OF Il justice
of the peace. where they We're married
under duresS, must be substantiated so
clearly that there was little room for
doubt or it must be shown that the
plaintiffs me ltal condition was such
that he was incapable Of making
contract The first proposition he did
not think was clearly sustained. He
believed Aaron Ilirshtield was a
changed man. but not to the extent
that he could be held to be irresponsi
BILE He had taken careful note of the
closely, and was confident he had lost
no point that would be of beneRt to
the plaintiff, and saw no other way in
justice than to hold the marriage con-
tract valid and deny Il decree.
When the judge commenced TO de-
liver his decision the silence was pro-
found. The spectators leaned for
ward with anxiety depicted on every
conntenance. The judge had given
warning that there was to be no ap-
plarse, and the crowd respected Lis
comm and; but when he said Il deny
the decree. the sigh Of relief that
went up swelled to a murmur Of ap-
proyal, which was promptly hushed by
the hailiffs scattered throughout the
court room. But outside the court
house nothing could prevent the iubila-
ton OF the crowd. Women who had
never seen the plaintiff till she came
to Fargo pressed forward TO grasp her
hand before leaving the room Il am

other in an up-train; but though mu-
tually liking one another, it seemed
tacitly understood that when Mrs
Evelyn accompanied her lord. they
would steer many degrees farther
northward; they were then like Arc
tic ships cutting their way through
icebergs.
Death, came however. frozen as
his fingers are sometimes. they some
how this time thawed ice. and after
the first months had passed of her
widowhood, Mrs Evelyn smiled,
though serenely sad, upon Captain
Oliver and his son Basil as they pass
ed her and looked with commiserat-
ing interest on her and her lovely
child both in their dark garments of
grief.
Captain Oliver had been widower
some years: his mourning then was Il
withered leaf. blown down and whs-
tied to oblivion by the winds. Mrs.
Evelyn's was green, in full summer
strength. bearing up against all the
heavy rains her eyes were supposed
tC have poured down iii storms. But
we have before informed the reader
that she was Il placid and resigned
woman.
Persons fancy that in the country
there is no excitement. no variety,
nothing to stir the current Of the slug

ever producing. so there is always
something new to waken us from dull
ness. One seldom takes quiet coun-
try walk without an adventure of
some sort or another. simple though it
may be. Mrs. Evelyn met one, not
uncommon and very exciting event:
this was avid COW, in narrow green
lane. The animal stopped, looked at
her and Alice, snorted. paved the turf,
and then ran at them. Mrs Evelyn
gave a loud shrek, seized the child,
and finging her over stile. scrambled
over herself, just in time to drop,
really nearly fainting, into Captain
divers arms. She could scarcely
walk; and then the COW stood below
ing in the lane. They could not re-
turn that way. The field they were
in was the captains and led only to
and through the grounds. For the
first time, Mrs. Evelyn entered these,
and even accepted a moments rest in
