P0LLARD-BRECKINRIDGE
WILL IT COME TO A TRlAL2
Today Is the Time Appointed for the Beginning of the Celebrated
 Scandal Case.

WASHINGTON. March S.-This is the day peremptor.ilX assigned by Judge Bradley of the Supreme Court of the | District of Columbia for the commencement of the dam age suit for breach of promise of marriage brought by Madeline D. Pollard against Congressman W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and the courtroom was crowded this morning in anticipation of the ease being called. Both sides have anem- inent array of council, that of Miss Pollard being headed by Judge Jere Wilson and C. Carlisle, while Con gressman Breckinridge's chief adyo- cates are Col. Phil. B. Thompson, of Kentucky, W. A. McKenny, of this city, and Enoch Lotten. The nature of the evidence to be submitted on behalf of the plaintiff has already been published to nauseating ex- tent and so also have the outlines of the testimony to be submitted for the defense, which mainly consists in attacks Hpon the honor and chastity of the woman concerned. During the past six weeks commissioners for both sides have been taking evil denee in Ohio, Kentucky, and else where, and the character of this tes- timony taken in connection with the high public standing of the defend- ant tends to make the case one ofthe most salacious in d national sense ever tried in the country. Friends Of the Kentucky Congressman profess to be confident that fair and full trial will result in his honorable yin- dieatiGn.

Fannie Hln

Fannie Hill and her thirty charm. ing young ladies were advertised to appear at the Opera-house last night Fannie Hill appeared but the charm ing young ladies were not in it. The Livingston family of aerobats gave creditable performance. With that exception thes show was disreptutahle and disgraeeful The toughest and toughest Coney Island Mum Hall singer is an artist when compared with the apologies for women who exhibited scrawny shapes and sang with cracked voices last night.
 Gonsummate, indecent. and ever present ganl marked every action.
 The mule portion of this unsavory brood was correspondingly rank, rocky and rotten. No one expected responsibility there, however, and no one was mistaken.
 The co8tum < were faded. dirty and anything but pleasing to the eye.
 Fannie IItl and her companions have come and gone. They travel in Il white car Sacred emblem of purity, how Yon are insulted!
 Truly their offense is rank and smells to heaven.

 tions With St. Louis anu Chicago.

ST. LOUIS, March S.-Two more direct connections between this city and Chicago will probably he run ming within the next few weeks, de- tails having been practically settled for the work. The Alton Bluff Line will soon have its extension complete into St. Louis via the Merchants
 bridge, and on May l will commence running through trains between St
 Louis and Chicago via Springfield and the Illinois Central. The Big Four has also completed traffic ar engagements with the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road whereby the companY's tracks between Danville and Chicago will be used for through trains from this point to the last named city. A large section of ter ritory will thus be opened up to the merchants of both St. Louis and Chicago, and the already excellent passenger service will be improved.

Some Bad Records.

From good authority we hear that some of the magistrates in this city have been conducting a very loose business, in fact, in many instances, disgraeeful to any translator Of the law or administrator of justice. We feel it our duty to make this state ment from the fact that We have had some very unsavory criticisms passed upon the code of procedure in these tribunals and unless an im- provement is made an exposure of these misdeings will necessarily fol- low. Justice is due the State as well as individuals and we sincerely be lieve the State has been imposed upon in many instaces simyIy for the sake of the filty lucre that has been in sight in many cases.

 Track of the Atroclnus Criminal.

NEW YORK, March S.-A London diapatch says: The fact has de- yelopee, although SD far it has been kept q profound secret, that the Authorities have gotten on he track of Jack the Ripper. Thc information leaks eut from Scotland Yard, and has beea gradually confirmed by q leading officer of tie metropolitan police. Tine atrocious criminal, if is said, is an inmate of the Government lunatie asylum at DartmOor, in Which he was incarcerated within a few weeks after the last Whitechapel horror, the authorities having no Knowledge of his antecedents at the time of his committal to the iilsti- tuition as an insane paupef with homocidal tendencies. The Scotland Yard authorities have possession of the knife, which is of Chinese make, with which the Whitechapel murders were committed. They are also familiar with his movements during the intervals between the murders, and have been able to trace him to the asylum after his last crime. AL though pronounced incurably insane by the asylum physicians, the man has q clear recollection of the past and all his conversations and re marks have reference to his crimes in the East End. Correspondence has passed between the Government criminal department and the asylum authorities relative to the murlerer's condition, and as to whether now or at any time in the near future he is or will be likely to be sufficiently rational to be placed on trial. The result of these inquiries has not yet heen disclosed.

LIQUOR IN IOWA.
The Prohis Making Dying Struggle in
 the Hawkeye State.

DEs MONIES, IA, March S.-After years of guerilla warfare the battle royal that is to preeede the defeat androut of prohibition in the Hawk eye State was inaugurated in the Legislature this morning. The liquor question has been one of the issues in State elections for several yearss but last year it was the prin- cipal, if not the only issue, and the Republican victory presaged the over throw of legal prohibition. When the Senate assembled at 10 o'clock this morning what is known as the Garpenter bill, which is in reality q local option measure. was the special order, while what is known as the House liquor bill. and which does not vary materially from the Car penter bill, came up i'll the lower branch. The Democratic minority hasa straight license measure. and the present indications are that for weeks to come both houses will be Struggling with temperance legisla- ton What ever measures may be successful, however. the one thing certain is that with it's enactment absolute liquor prohibition will be plotted from the statute books Of
