Think He Is Being BIackmaiIed.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 19.-The
Courier-Journal says: The wife Of d
prominent attorney who is acquainted
with the inside facts of the Breck-
inridge scandal said today in speak
ing of the rumor that Mrs Breck-
inridge would seek a divorce: The ru-
NOR that she now intends seeking a di-
vorce is entirely without foundation
received a letter from her last Saturday
in which she was in good spirits. Every
line was full of her devotion for Col.
Breckenridge, whom she believes now
to be the victim of blackmaiL
I have tried to keep myself aloof
from participating in this affair. until
now it seems l would be false 10 my
convictions of right did 1 longer refrain
from making known a few inside facts
about this secret marriage Of Mr.. Breck-
inridge and his present wife. Many
have blamed her as being a party To d
plot to prevent the fulfilling of his VOWS
to Madeline Pollard. The truth is Col.
Breckenridge has played the deceiver in
her case also. She knew nothing what
ever of his relations and obligations TO
Miss Pollard at the time she married
Col. Breckenridge. He knew that MISS
Pollard would push her claims, and be
fore she had time TO utterly cOmpro-
mise him, he FASTENED the mar
riage, making Mrs. Wing his
victim, both because he loved her
and felt her necessary to his happiness
and also because he thought her of a
rank and station that would serve as
bulwarks against Miss POllard's state
ments. On the day Mrs. Wing was mar
ried in this city Col. Breckenridge vowed
by all the saints that he hardly knew
Miss Pollard, but that she was very
much in love with him and he was a
comparative stranger to her.
Il do not think DR.. Scott or any Of
his family knew of the secret marriage
The marriage at his residence was sim
ply TO releave Col. Breckenridge from
any further annoyance from Miss Pol
lard. and to prove 10 the friends and
relatives Of Mrs. Wing his loyalty to
her as we'll as to refute Miss Pollard's
publicatiO of her engagement TO him.
SO far as the rumor of DR. Scott's urging
the marriage of Col. Breckenridge and
his sister is concerned, l may say ] do
not think he had anything 10 do with
the affair.
Col Breckenridge was too anxious to
have his marriage take place. thinking
then that Miss Pollard would never pur-
sue the subject further.

to the right Of the platz were brilliantly
Illuminated with Bengal lights, which
threw weird, dancing shadows among the

The whole center Of the platz was a mass
OF flaming torches and lanterns of every
conceivable color Those taking part in
the procession executed a series of figures
under the windows of the palace. They
were headed by the Coburg Bicycle club
the members of which carried Lanterns
showing the colors of xe-Coburg and

RloToUs POLES.
Two Shot Dead and Many wounded by a
hherin's posse.


DETROIT, April l9-Wayne county's
sheriff lies In "A precariOus condition, his
body lacerated by the shovels of enraged
rioters. Two Polish laborers are dead, and
the number injured is not yet definitely
known. These unfortunate conditions are
the result of conflict which occurred be
tween some 400 Poles and Sheriff Collins
and five of his deputies.
The riot was brought about by differ
ences of opinion over the wages to be paid
laborers by the city water commissioners
for digging trenches for pipe laying in
Crosse Point township. just east of the
city limits No actual outbreak was an
ticipated, but as a precaution Sheriff Col
Inns and five deputies went to the scene to
protect those who wished to work. Work
progressed on a small scale during the
morning, but Engineer Williams, becom-
ing alarmed at the aspect Of things, con-
suited some of the commissioners shortly
before noon and was instructed TO quit
work for the time being.
Before he returned, however, rioting be
gan. Sheriff Collins and Deputy Steyskal
after telephoning for re-enforcements, be-
gan to address the mob to pacify them.
One Of the Poles began an opposition ha-
rangue. The crowd thereupon started to
annihilate the officers and the handful Of
laborers at work.
Atthe advance the officers drew revolvers
and fired over the strikers heads, but tlre
mob came on, and the next volley was dis
charged into the crowd. Then the officers
retreated slowly, firing as they went. Still
the mob followed, one man dealing the
sheriff "A vicious blow on the head with
his shovel. The other officers, the workers
and an Evening News reporter escaped, all
being more or less pounded with shovels,
but the helpless sheriff was brutally at
tackled. The mob then scattered, leaving
the sheriff unconscious on the field. Two
of the Poles were found dead-John Pielat
and a comrade, name unknown.
