ception of Kossuth and other cere-
monies, there was nothing of in
terest in the Seventh regiment
history until it occupied the new
City Arsenal, in 1852. This build
ing is still standing at Elm and
White streets, but it is a ruin, its
roof having been burned off several
years ago. The next important
event in the history of the Seventh
Regiment was when it accompan-
led to Richmond, Va, July 3,
1858, the remains of eX-Presi-
dent James Monroe, which had
rested for many years in the Mar
BILE cemetery, on Second street.
The journey was made by the
steamer Ericsson. After remaining
in Richmond for several days the
regiment visited Washington,
where it was reviewed on the
grounds of the White House by
President Buchanan. 1t also visit
ed the home of Washington at
Mount Vernon, and many other
historical places.
During 1858 the Seventh regi-
ment had the honor of participant
ing in the celebration of the laying
of the Atlantic cable.
1t was one of the first regiments
to answer the call in 1861, and it's
first hero to fall was the famous
author, Theodore Winthrop. Its
record in the war finds few paral-
lels in bravery, and it came back
almost decimated.
Its present commander is Col.
Daniel Appleton, and its famous
officers of more recent years were
Lieut. Col. Geo. Moore Smith, Col.
Emmons Clark and Col. Marshall
Lefferts.

Bravest of the Braves.

NEW YORK, March 30.-The
Seventh Regiment, the most ia
nous National Guard regiment in
the United States, the history of
which reads like history of the
country during this century, to-
day, celebrated a notable event.
Its great armory is clear of debt,
and the great regiment has pre-
pared for a monster celebration in
honor of the event.
Nearly 81 100000 has been spent
on the building and its furnish
ings, and every dollar has been
raised by the members and friends
OF the regiment. The state and the
country were not even asked for a
cent.
The history Of the regiment and
its services to city and state and
country is reading of the most in
reresting kind. Formed with a
central idea that in it should al
ways be the best elements of citi-
zenship, it has always chung to
that idea, so that now the battalion
over whose name and whose uni
form so many minds pOndered and
struggled years ago has become
one of the finest military organiza-
tions in the world.
The Seventh Regiment, as an
organization, dates back to 1924,
although the nucleus out of which
it had its being existed many
years previous in the Second
Battalion of the Eleventh Regi-
ment of Artillery, New York State
Militia. The second Battalion of
Eleventh Regiment was equipped
as infantry, and among the officers
and men of the four companies
composing it there had been long
existing a desire, frequently eX-
pressed, Of forming new regiment
which should be essentially an in
fantry organization, and which
would be composed Of the best
class Of citizens of the city.
In the year 1924 the plans for the
new organization first assumed
definite shape.
Afterward it was known as the
"Twenty-seventh Regiment of Ma
.tional Guard" Later it became
simply the Seventh Regiment"
and now it is the Seventh Regi-
ment of National Guard, State of
New York" The honor of found
ing the organization belongs to
Battalion Major John d. Wilson.
The first great event in the life of
the regiment after it became the
Seventh was its participation in the
,obsequies Of the venerable ex-
President John Quincy Adams.
In 1913 the First Division paraded
to do honor to Gen. Winfield Scott
on his return from the Mexican
war. During this parade the Sew.
.enth regiment received a large
share of the attention which was
lavished on the military by the
populace.
1t was the regiment which es-
cOrted Lafayette on his arrival. 1t
was called out during the famous
FOrrest-Macredy riots, and which,
under orders, moved down the en-
furiated mob which was about to
storm the Astor Place opera house.
With the exception of its APP
pearance at the regular parades,
and at the funerals of Gen. Worth,
President Zachary Taylor, the re-

WASliINGTON, March 3O.-There
was an audience awaiting the
second appearance of Colonel
Breckenridge on the witness stand
today, whose interest in him and
what he would have to say, was
more intense than that Of any
audience he had ever faced before.
Foremost in it sat the plaintiff
and an eldery companion, Mrs.
Ellis. Back of them in double
rows were the lawyers in the case,
and also Despa, Breckinridge's son,
to whom the defendant had re-
ferred in affectionate terms, while
detailing the members of his fami-
ly yesterday.
When the witness took the stand
an omnibus silence prevailed
through the crowded court room.
The witness opened his testimony
by stating that his wife was Miss
Despa, who died in July 1898. In
speaking about the basket that
has figured in the trial, he said
that the last time that he saw it
was in his room on III street.
The statement made by the plain
tiff that he gave her the
basket and accompanied her
to the train and bid her an affec-
tionate adieu, he said, was false.
The witness denied the cab ride.
The speakers voice was low and
smOthered while he gave this testi-
mony and he met the plaintiffs
gaze while he spoke without show
ing any visible emotion. COntinu-
ing, the witness said the first he
learned that the basket was in
her possession, was when it was
produced on trial. He could not
say how the basket got in
to Miss Pollard's possession.
The counsel then drew the witness
into details of the first meeting be-
tween the witness and the plain
tiff, and the circumstances of the
visits to the house of Sarah Goss.
The witness said that he saw Miss
Pollard on the train, and after
speaking to her, arrangements
were made that they should meet
at the house of Sarah Goss. The
statement made in the New York
World was substantially correct.
The witness denied that he had
made the arrangements to go to
Sarah Goss' house, as testified by
the plaintiff. The plaintiff made
no resistance or prOtestatiOn as to
what was done there. There was
nothing in her conduct or
appearance at the time to indi-
cate that she was anything
but matured woman. The ques
ton of the witness having seduced
her physically or otherwise, had
never been brought up until the
filing of this suit. While Miss
Pollard was absent from LeXing-
ton, during the spring of 1885,
when she said that her first child
was born, the witness declared
that he had no knowledge of
her whereabouts and no cOmmuni-
cation with her. If she had writ
ten him under the nom de plume
Of Margaret Dillon, he had not
received the letters, nor had he any
box No. AZ. The witness said that
he could not exactly say that he
had paid the plaintiff any sum
upon her departing from Sarah
Goss' house, but he had presented
her with an amount not large, but
enough to pay her travelling ex-
penses. He denied all knowledge
of the correspondence alleged to
have been written, dated from New
Orleans and other places in the
south, by Miss Pollard, under his
direction, nor had he ever written a
letter purporting to be from her to
her mother, or any other person.
The witness was still on the stand
on the close Of this report.

A Chastity Horror at Denison.

DENIsoN, Texas, March 3d.
Especial About 4 o'clock this
morning, the switchman's shauty,
at the junction of the NJ. X. & II.
and H. & 7. G. railways, in the
southern portion Of the city, was
discovered on fire. An alarm was
turned in, but the building was
consumed in flames, before the de-
partment arrived. An investiga4
tion of the smoldering ruins was
made and the body of a man was
found in the debris. The upper
part of the skull was gone, and
knife wounds were discovered on
the left breast. The left hand was
burned entirely off, and the leg
broked. The shan ty had not been
used for sometime. 1t is believed
the man was murdered, dragged
there, and the building fired.
There is no clue as yet to the
crime, or identity of the victim,
who is burned beyond recogni-
ton.

Condition of the Railroad Difficulty

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-C.
p. Huntington stated last night
that he was still a member of the
Central Pacific Railroad company
and intimaied that it was not the
publiC's business what was done
by the railroads. He denied that
the attitude of the British
stock holders had anything
to do with the recent change
in the Central Pacific. He also de-
MED that Mr.. Stanford's action
had anything to do with the mat
ter and said that he was on the
best of terms with him. He
further said the statement that
the Central Pacific had debts
amounting to S6,000,000 coming
due in nine months, was untrue.
There are only $2,OO0,OOO due. He
said he could raise 100000 in
twenty-four hours, if necessary.
"Will your government debt ever
be paid ?" was asked. eyes, ultl-
mately," he replied. "When is
ultimately ?" 81 don't know" said
the magnate.
The Examiner says: "Isaac L..
Requa has been elected president
of the Central Pacific Railway COM
pany, and the following were
chosen directors: James Gum,
George Lathrop, r. p. Schwerin,
w. II. Mills and G. f. BrethertOn.
This gives only six members to the
directorate, there being a vacancy
yet to be filed. 1t is said that
Huntington, Crocker and Searls
have been selling Central Pa
cific stock, and at the present mo-
ment they hold only few shares
of these securities, while the Stan
ford estate probably holds more
Central Pacific stock than all other
original interests combined. In
other words, the Huntington,
Croker and Searls interest have
left Stamford and Croker to hold
the sack,

IN BURNING CAMP.
Two Brownville Hunters Found
Murdered at Millinocket.
Their Two Old Town Indian Guides
Suspected Of the Crime.
Drove Visitor Away and Soon After Camp Was
Ablaze With Bodies Inside.

Bangor Dec. 23.-Camelia Nashau and
Charles Langley of Brownville, were mur-
dered in camp at Millinocket, Sunday
forenoon, it is supposed, by two Indians
belonging in Old Town, Joseph and Newall
Gabriel both of bad reputation. The
murdered men are understood to have
been hunting and the supposition is that
the Indians We're guides and killed them
for the purposes of robbery.
A cousin of the Indians employed at the
numbering camp, went to the camp, to-
day, TO see them and was met at the door by
one with two revolvcrs in his hand, who
told him to keep away If he valued his
life. He was badly frightened and ran
to Millinocket station.
Later several men went to the camp and
found it burning and the bodies of the
victims inside. The Indians were captured
by the numbering crew and are now held
as prisoners at the lumber camp. Sheriff
Reed and Deputy Sheriff Lancaster will
go TO the scene, tomorrow. An inquest
will probably be held there, tomorrow.
