the gauntlet of doorkeepers Into
the circuit court thin morning
were unusually nntntrotu end
distinguished in appear Mioe, They
were able to get an esrlv slant of th
prineinal In th ea. for lis Pollarl
and Colonel Breckinridge appeared
earlier than bM been their custom.
After the lawyer had rustled their
papers for a quarter of an hour thr
whs iv ripple of gre-u inrpriee, for no
less appro'iag then the plaintiff her
self walked aroun 1 to the witness
stand, took a. neat directly facing
Colonel Breckinridge and the whole
roomful of men.
The plaintiff gsve t'ie detail of hr
acquaintance with Colonel Breckin

time of separation in 1S92.
THE LOVB LETTERS APPEAR.
Such a case ia not complete withont

the letter and twelve telegram a
troui Colonel Brcokicridffe, The let

they were friendly but not; too much
o. They were si sued "Yonr. " or
"Yours truly and sincerely," and ha I
no heading. Sotn of the letters were
read at the trial the other day. The
next question came near bringing 01 a
icen.
"Miss Pollard," said Sir. Carlisle,
"what were the conversation yon had
with Colonel Breckiuride about going
to a sanitarian?"
"Oh, Mr. Carlisle. I hardly know
how to gay these things before o many

There was a snsDicion of teirs in Miss
Pollard's eye.
"Never mind don't say anything
don't answer, " aid Judge Wilon, her
principal connsel.
Colonel Breckinridge mad refer
ense in some of hi letters to lendinc
omo papers and Miss Pollard ex
plained that "some nepers" meant
money they did not like to refer to
money in their letters.
After reces a Utter was read from
Mis Pollard to Colonel Breckinridge
acknowledging that she had published
the announcement of their engagement
and that she was sorry for it. This was
evidently in answer to a letter from
Colonel Breckinridge taking her totaik
for the public ition The letter began
"Mr deer Willie" and was signed
"Yonr loving Madeline."
The question askd bv Mr. Carliile
wns as to how Ion? the illicit relation
hip existing between Colonel Breckin
ridge ami the plaintiff and Miss Pollard
answered, loudly an! distincily em
phns'zing every syllable: "From that
night wlien he took m to Sarah Gregg'
in 1884, there never was any sugges
tion of the discountenance of that
miserable sin, until Colonel Breckin
ridge, with all his protestations and
promisei and vows of affcHo i, left me
on the 17th dav of Msy. 1808 "
FUN ON THE CROSS-EXAMINATION.
Major Butterworth began the cross
examination. He persisted in saying
that Miss Pollard was 12 when her
father died, and Miss Pollard became
annoyed She had ald she wai 10
then. "I wish you would not repeat
that, Mr. Butterworth." she said, "It's
very annoying." Her father had told
her fairy storiea. he had read her
Shakespeare, history and pr-tty little
poem. She was fond of all these
thine.
"You say your father tanjt)t ?i u
history," aid Mr. BottSf worth. ''Did
be teach yon much history?"
"Not so much a Colonel Breckin
ridge told me afterwards," wa the an
swer, and it took the crier noarlv
twenty minutes the stop the laugh.
Miss Pollard's answers wero bright
and somewhat witty and kept pace
with the keen minded Major Butter
worth Nearly all her answers began
with "Now, Mr. Butterworth "
It was while at Frankford that
James C. Rides asked her to marry
him after having seen her two or three
times, ami Mis Pollard told of the
bargain through which her education
was obtained. "Mr. Kod,"he aid.
"was not a conventional nun." Thit
cansxl a laugh.
"Wag this yonr Meat offer of mar
rigger '
"No, I had one the year before from
a Mr. Wooda; but I bad no more to do
with that than you had, Mr. Butter
worth." Colonel Breckinridge joined
in the langhter over this gaily.
Miss Pollard admitted that she wag
engaged to a Mr K gll while she was
st the Wegleyan college in Cincinnati,
during the continuance of her con
tract with Ilodee. Mr. Butterworth
gpoke of her contract with Bodes as
"the engagement" and Miss Pollard
objected to haying it put that way.
Mr. Kcde had loiined her the monev
to get her education on condition that
she should pay him bHck or marry him.
There was one sally that created a
roar. Mr. Butterworth asked Miss
Pollard if Colonel Breckinridge bad
recognized her on the train at their
Brat meeting, and Miss Pollard said:
"He crossed the aisle and asked if he
did not recognize meand by the way,
that's a common trick of big, recogniz
ing people he does not know."
Mr. Butterworth tried to make the
witness sny that on the first night Col
onel Breckinridge came to gee her, he
bad brought a csrri ige at her suggest
ion, but Miss Pollard met it with,
"now, Mr. Bntterwortb, you know I
never Mid anything of the kind."
Smile more questions wore met with
earnest answers that mailt the specta
tors laugh, and then at 8,15 o'clock tho
court adjourned until Monday.

STROODSBIJttG LYNCHING.
Coroner s Jury Censures the Sheriff
and Commissioners Puryear's
Body Will Be Dissected.
StROUDSBORO, Pa . Msrcn 17 The
coroner's jury finished its deliberations
in the lynching of William Puryear
this afternoon and brought in a verdict
that the murderer came to his death by
beiug hung by parties uukuown to the
jury. Many witness-s were called, bnt
the jury was unibl to get any evi
dence. Those who admitted having
witntssed the lynching refuted to give
information as it might tend to crimi
nate th"m.
The sheriff was censured by the jury
for his grots Carelessness in permitting
Puryear to Sleeps from the juil and the
county commissioner a!o cants In for
their share of censure for their econo
my in discharging the watchman pre
vious to the escape of the murderer.
The eouaty authorities made prepa
rations to bnry the body in tne eeme
try here in the. afternoon, but found
that it would hav? to be kept, accord
ing to law, twenty-four hours, an I if
ot claimed by friends in that time to
be turned over to the board of medical
authorities at the state college. 'Ihe
body was put in a neat coffin last night
and placed in the corridor of thejiil,
where it was viewed by thousands.
Tneboly was sent by express at 7
o'clock this morning to George Willir,
Philadelphia, to be used at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania for disstcling pur
poses. The negro a week ago made a con
fession of the murder of Christian
Eclers, and said h alone did the crime
and that he intended to kill all three
persons. Christian Khlers. his wife and
John Sliotzuian. The motive wa rob
bery. The escape of John Shotzm in
prevented him from carrying out his
desperate crime.
As there was no donbt of the guilt of
the negro and the careleisness in the
handling of tho prisoner by the jail au
thorities, the community generally
sanctions the action of lynching and
seemed pleased that, the desperado is
placed where he will do no further
harm.
District Attorney Williams will bring
the matter before the grand jury when

posed to Governor Waite's following.
This ig a wrong conclusion. General
McCook is too old in experience to be
go entangled.
Governor Waite tolav wrote to Gen
eral McCook asking (him to withdraw
the federal troops as he (General Mc
Cook) had expregsed the opinion that
he had no right to co-operate with the
state troops.
General McCook made the following
statement: "I with to say that mch an
inference wa never authorized by me
and I never tated that the troop were
placed there at his call, I never stated
that I would place troops or auy gpeci
fied number. In my statement to him
I Baid I conld take no further action
with the United States troops, nor could
1 take any further steps without order
from the president. The atateiuent
was msde in the pregeno of Colonel
Merriam and two other officers. "
General McCook added that in his
order to the Fort Logan troops, the
only purpose he had iu view was to
prevent any destruction of government
property which authority is aiveu him
tiy the armv regulations. There wgs
no idea of aiding either party in the

to preserve the peace and to prevent
bloodshed.

boils today voted not to di

the coast and geodetic survey, as
provided for iu 1111 amendment
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
proposed yesterday by Mr. Enloe
(Dm.,Tenn.),
The proviiion in the bill as reported,
directing the georetury of the treasury
to reorganize the office force of the sur
vey and roduce its numbers and com
pensation to within $188 000, was at
tacked by Mr. Hopkins (Rep., Itl.i as a
'.ptrfuge by the committee to accom
plish what Mr. Enloe wis seeking the
abolition of the survey by throwing
the work on the secretary of the treas
ury. It wns so amended as to with
draw the authority to re organize th
force and to make 1 188, 000 the minimum
limit of the expenditure (or the office
foroe.
The paragraph of the bill carrying
an appropriation for the Missouri river
commiation gave rise to an animated
discmsion, in which Mr. Wilson (Rp.,
Wssh.) inveighed against th discrim
ination mads in this bill and in the
river aud harbor bill against the great

whereupon McKeighan, for himself

spirit that would refuse to do justice to
a gallant bnt unfortuuate soldier.
Talbert retorted vigorously, asert
ing that he had no objection to voting
pensions to any brave, honest soldier,
who fought against bun. out he in
tended to prevent, so far as it was pos
sible for Ol in to do go, to aid in any
way men who were deserters. '.
Apparently considerable feeling wa
engendered by th remark of the two

with little excitement, and upon fur

withdrew his motion.
