The Fuss at Denver.
By Southern Associated Press.
Wa< hisgton, March 16. Late this
afternoon instructions were tele
graphed to Gen. McCook by order
of President Cleveland. Stc tary
Laraont states that the. instructions
were as follows : Gen. McCock was
only authorized to use the troops
for the protection of the gc vjrn
ment, unless the represen ation was
made to him by the Governor of
the State that the State authorities
are unable to suppress the insur
rection.”
This is in effect approval of Gen
McCook’s action in ordering the
troops from Fort Logan to Denver,
but not to the extent of giving him
discretion to preserve the peace, or
of rendering assistance to the State
militia in enforcing State laws
Neither is the general to with
draw his troops at the command of
the Governor, nor is he to take any
directions at all from the Governor,
who can expect nothing from the
United States forces until ha has
confessed, bis inability to uphold
the law, find at that moment Gen
McCook under the constitution and
as the representative of the Presi
dent will preserve order under mil
itary regulations*
General Schofield commanding
the army, says it is not pos
sible for General McCook to take
orders from Governor Waite or
any other person than the Presi
dent or tho President’s direct mili
tarv subordinates. I is impossi
ble to delegate any military author
ity or a civil officer, and therefore
General McCook will continue su
preme as far as the United States
forces are concerned and responsi
ble to the President alone. Gen
McCook’s ability to go safely
through the present complication
involving, as it does, so many deli
cate points, is declared at the War
Department to be second to that of
no officer in the service, and the
fullest confidence is expressed that
he will commit no indiscretion, no
matter how great the provocation.

MISS POLLARD TESTIFIES.
SHE TELLS HER BTORY TO A
COURT ROOM FULL OF MEN.
Her Testimony Was Like a Romance
and the Proved the Most Interesting
Witness of the Now Noted Trial.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, D. 0., March 16 —lhe
news from New York that the mar
riage of Col. W C. P. Breckin
ridge and Mrs. Louise Wing had
taken place secretly in that city on
April 27th last, according to the
marriage certificate three months
before the public ceremony, was
spread about the court-room where
the breach case was being tried
this evening, and created great in
terest. Counsel, however, were un
able to see what bearing this mar
riage could have on the case, for
tesiimorr has been given that the
engagement of Col Breckinridge
and Mies Pollard existed nearly a
month prior to the date of the se
cret marriage as given in the cer
tificate which has just been filed in
New York. Mrs. Julia C. Black
burn, the widow of Governor Luke
Blackburn, of Kentucky, who testi
fied in the case on March 9ih, said
that on Good Friday night in 1893,
Col. Breckinrkb e brought Miss
Pollard to her apartment at the
Portland, in this city, and presented
her as hie future wife, asking Mrs.
Blackburn to give the young wo
man her protection during the en
gagement. Good Friday in 1893
came on March 31, while the secret
marriage is recorded as having
taken place April 29 of that year.
Miss Pollard testified on the wit
ness stand today that “on one o?
the last days of August, in 1892,
Col. Breckinridge had asked her to
marry him and she had consented,”
Col. Breckinridge was told by a
reporter that the certificate of tho
New Yora marriage had been filed
with the Bureau of Vital Statistics,
and asked if he would say some
thing about it.
“No, I have not anything to say,”
he said. “It will all come out later.
I must not talk of these things now
—you will have to wait until I go
on the stand, then you’ll hear the
whole story. No, I really can’t say
anything about it.”
Mr. Stoll, of Lexington, one of
Col. Breckinridge’s counsel, said
laughingly, patting Col. Breckin
ridge on the back . “Oh, you just
wait until we get this old fellow on
the stand, and then you’ll know the
truth. But we are keeping quiet
just now.
Madeline told the story of her life
today to a court room full of men.
She was on the witness stand from
early morning until adjournment,
and the tale she told wad 4 romance.
She was somewhat theatrical, very
plaintive and confiding, and gave
her testimony without hesitation.
Her brightness, her keen wit and
her appreciation of every question
were plainly noticeable. For such
a sensational case her testimony
was free from vulgar and sugges
tive details Once when she was
asked to tell of a conversation with
Col Breckinridge about her coming
confinement, Bhe burst out, half
weepingly, with a protest against
being made to say such things be
fore so many men, and the question
was withdrawn. Cold type cannot
depict the rising and falling of her
plaintive voice; the tone of her de
mure little acknowledgments about
her early life, and the Bharp yet
courteous replies to inquiries of the
defendant’s attorney, Maj Butter
worth She proved the most interest
ing witness of the now noted trial,and
every word she uttered was listened
to with attention. She told how
she had lived as a little girl; how
James Rhoee, an uncouth, old man
had made a contract with her to
pay for her education on condition
that she would pay him back or
marry him; how Col. Breckinridge
came into her life; how she passed
for nine years as a pure, innocsnfc
girl, of the alleged of
marriage after the death of Mrs.
Breckinridge, and of what followed
the defendant’s marriage to Mrs.
Wing Her cross-examination was
in progress when the court ad
jounced.
After a whispered consultation
between Wilson and Carlisle, of
Miss Pollard’s counsel and an exam
ination of some letters, Miss Pollard
took the stend, amid a buzz of ex
citement in the couit room.
Miss Ellis tcok her seat next to
Miss Pollard, who gave her name
in a firm manner, sad answered Mr.
Carlisle's questions in a Bteady
voice that sometimes became almost
too loud.
Mr. Carlisle’s preliminary ques
tion were about Miss Pollard’s
parentage. Her father was a sad
dler; when he died in 1886 all she
O ld Fellows and Masonic lodges in
Kentucky sant delegates to Frank
fort to attend the funeral.
In answer to Mr. Carlisle, Miss
Pollard said: “In the very last da>B
of August, 1892, Mr. Breckinridge
met me at the Baltimore and Ohio
railway station.”
“How did he greet you"?
“He drew me to him, kissed me,
and put me in a carriage, and we
were driven to the country”.
“ What did he say in the carriage?”
“Me told me that he had some
’ thing to tell, and he said he was
vain enough to think I would be
glad to hear it. He said the chil
dren were all grown up now, and
that there was no reason why he
RALEIGH, N C, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1894
shouldn’t marry; he asked rae if I
would marry him, and I told him I
would.
“Where were you stopping dur
ing this stay in Washington ?”
“At 25 LaFayette Square.”
“During your few days stay at
this time was the subject of mar
riage mentioned ?”
“Yes. frequently."
“Did he say anything about when
the marriage should take place ?”
“Yes, he said he had waited four
teen months after the death of bis
wife before taking a second wife,
and he thought a year would be
sufficient to wait for our mar
riage”
“Did you agree with him ? ’
“No I said that more consid >r
ation was due his children that we
should wait at leitsfc two years.
Mies Pollard wbh also questioned
concerning her residence at 25 La
Fayette Square, where she said l>-
Breckinridge calle: 1 cm h r it
quentiy and many times that a
year after his wife’s death was auffi
cient to wait “I saw bi n always
once a day, sometimes twice a day
and during the evening,” she said.
Miss Pollard said she had called
the fact of her engagement to Mrs
Thomas’ attention, who lived at 25
LaFayette Square, and also to
Claude de la Rcche Francis. She
told of the conversation with Col
Breckinridge, which • Mr. Francis
said he overheard, in which Col.
Breckinridge said he was sorry she
had told Mr. Francis of their en
gagement. Miss Pollard also told
the story of her presentation to Mrs.
Luke Blackburn by Col. Breckin
ridge as his future wife, and of his
placing her in Mrs. Blackburn’s
charge as “my future wife,” as tes
tified to by Mrs Blackburn a few
days ago.
Miss Pollard was asked concern
ing her visits to Dr. N. 8. Lincoln,
and to Maj Moore, the superinten
dent of police, with Col. Breckin
ridge, on which occasion, according
to the testimony of Dr- Lincoln and
Maj. Moore, Col. Breckinridge ac
knowledged his engagement to'her.
“In 1834,” said Miss Pollard, “I
was summoned from school in Cin
cinnati to go to Frankfort, where
my sister was very ill. Mr. Rhodes
put me on the car. A gentleman
was in the car, and coming over to
me he said, ‘your face is familiar,
don’t I know you ?’ I said no, ‘but
I know who you are. Your are Col.
Breckinridge.’ He sat down on the
other ride of the aisle and asked me
if he might come to see me. I said
my aunt and my mother would be
very glad to see him at Frankfort.
That was all that was said.”
Questions by Mr Carlisle brought
out the history of Miss Pollard’s
engagement to James 0. Rhodes.
She had met him and he ask ad her
to marry him. She said sie did not
want to marry then; she wanted to
get an education first He said if
she would marry him, but (to
use her own words) “I told him
that if he would pay for my educa
tion I would either marry him or
pay him back with interest.” He
agreed, and a paper containing the
agreement was drawn up and signed
in the presence of my mother.”
“Mias Pollard said she did not
keep the letters written her by
Rhodes, bhe always destroyed his
letters.”
“In one of these letters Mr.
Rhodes said he could compell me to
marry him or pay him back. I
could cot pay him back, and I did
not want to marry him. I did not
know a woman, man or child to
whom I could turn for advice, until
I thought—until I thought of Mr
Breckinridge. I wrote him asking
if Mr. Rhodes could compel me to
marry him. He answered that let
ter in parson, coming to see me at
Westlyan College, in Cincinnati,
where I was a pupil.”
Mies Pollard then narrated the
facts deposed by Sarah Guess and
other witnesses.
In answer -to direct questions
Miss Pollard said that she had
never at any time held improper
relations with aDy man excepting
Mr. Breckinridge. She told of fre
quent changes of residence during
her life in Washington, and the
changes of names also, corrobora
ting upon these points all the wit
nesses who have preoeeded her. Miss
Pollard said she came to Washing
ton from Lexington September,
1887, at Mr. Breckinridge’s desire.
“I had to go somewhere,” she Buid.
After several changes of residenc
Mr. Breckinridge took her to a lit
tle house in South Washington oc
cupied by an old woman called
“Aunt Mary,” and she remained
there until her second baby waa
bom, in February, 1888 After her
confinement she went to live at a
convent on Massachusetts avenue,
between 13th and 14th streets, and
remained there two years and six
months. Daring part of this time
she was employed in the govern
ment service, the rest in studying.
She saw the defendant three or four
timeß each week during that period.
In answer to Carlisle, Miss Pol
lard said Col. Breckinridge left
Washington on Wednesday night,
May 17, 1893. Then Mr. Carlisle
read telegrams and letters from
Col. Brecbinridge to Miss Pollard,
written while he was away on this
trip, from Lexington, Covington
and other places. Nearly every
day he telegraphed her asking if
she was well, telling her to make
herself comfortable, and to occupy
herself. The letters were not of the
amorous kind; they were friendly,
but not too much so. They were
signed “Yours,” or “Yours truly and
sincerely,” and had no heading.
Col. Breckinridge, Miss Pollard
said, was delivering political
speeches in Kentuehy and Tennes
see.
After a recess a letter was read
from Miss Pollard to Col. Breckin
ridge, acknowledging that she had
published the announcement of her
engagement, and she was sorry for
it. This was evidently in answer to
a letter from Col. B eckinridge tak
ing her to task f ir the publication.
The lettor began “My Dear Willie,”
and was signed, “Your Loving
Madeline ”
Miss Pollard resumed the stand as
the court was rapped to order, with
Miss Eliis sitting by her side. Site
was directly in front of and about
15 feet from Col. Breckenrldga.
During the morning session, while
Mies Pollard waa giving her testi
mony, the defendant sat in listless
*> titudo but not taking his eyes off
his accuser, But at the afternoon
session he took an active interest in
the proceedings and made sugges
tions to his counsel.
The last question asked by Mr
Carlisle was as to how long the il
licit relationship existed between
Col Breckinridge and the plaintiff,
and Miss Pollard answered, loudly
and distinctly emphasizing every
syllable: “From that night when he
took me to Sarah Guess’ in 1884,
there never was any suggestion of
the discontinuance of that miserable
sin, until Col. Breckinridge, with
all his protestations and promises,
and vows of affection, left me on
the 17th day of May, 1893.”
Major Butter worth tried to stop
Mias Pollard, telling her to simply
answer the question, but he was
plucked by the sleeve by Col. Breck
inridge and Col. Thompson, and de
sisted. Bat he could not have stop
ped Miss Pollard—she went rigut
on.
This concluded the direct exami
nation and Major Butterworth be
gan the cross examination. Major
dutterworth began by an examina
tion into Miss Pollard’s age, and
she told him, as she had told Mr.
Carlisle, that she had believed, un
til this suit was filed, that she was
born in 1864, but she had since
then learned from her mother and
sister that she was born on Novem
ber 1866.”
In her early years her father had
spent much time teaching her.
Questioned by Mr. Butterworth as
to what he taught her, Mr. Butter
worth asked: “Did he teach you
much history ?’’
“Not so much as Col. Breckin
ridge told me afterwards,” waa the
auswer;and it took the crier nearly
a minute to slop the laughter.
M«3 Pollard’s answers were brigh 1
8a 1 sometimes witty, and kept pace
witn the keen minded Mr j Butter
worth.
Miss Pollard sketched her life at
Crab O chard, how she left it to go
to her aunt’s in Pittsburg, where
she remained until August, 188 t),
when Bhe returned to her mother’s
in Frankfort. Nearly all her an
swers began with “now, Mr. Butter
worth ”
Mr. Butter worth’s cross-examina
tion brought an acknowledgment
from Miis Pollard that beside her
“contract,” as she called it, with
Mr, Raodes to marry him or refund
the m mey he expended upon her
education, she engaged herself to a
man named R still while at Wes
leyan College, Cincinnati.
“Did you tell this engagement to
Mr. Rhodes;?’’
“No sir.”
“Did you break off with Mr.
R;zall?”
“Yes, while Mr. Breckenridge
was conoealed in a sitting room ad
jaining and heard me break my en
gagement with Mr. Rozell. I was
pregnant at the time by Mr. Breck
inridge.”
There was one sally that created
a roar. Mr. Butterworth asked
Mias Pollard if Col. Breckinridge
had recognized her on the train at
her first meeting, and Miss Pollard
said : “He crossed the aisle and
asked if he did not recognize me—
and by the way that’s a common
trick of his, recognizing people he
doesn’t know.”
Miss Pollard in answer to other
questions said she had seen many
tilings in Mr. Breckinridge du
ring their nine years association
that she did not like, including this
trick of recognition, but she had not
found him out then.
At 3:15 the court adjourned until
tomorrow.

Several Amendments Disposed of—Mr.

By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 17.— House.—
After unimportant routine pro
ceedings at the' opening of the day
session the House went into com
mittee of the whole, (Mr. Lester,
Democrat of Georgia, in the ohair)
on the sundry civil appropriation.
The pending question was on Mr.
Enloe’e amendment directing the
Dockery commission to investigate
tbo coast ar 1 geographic eurvey
with a view to determining whether
or not its work eanuofc be more ef
fectively and economically perform
ed by the navy and interior depart
ments. The amendment was lost.
Oa the occasKion of a visit to the
Congress by the Russian Grand
Duke, that officer and his staff tprnt
an hour examining the books, more
time then he gavo to all the rest of
the exhibits in the room At the
end of the inspection the Grand
Duke said. “General, that work of
your Government is an example to
the World, if you complete it, it wiil
do you more honor than'any achieve
ment any Government has made in
the cientifio departments of know
ledge.
Later, an amendment W3S adopt
ed that tb ? Secretary of the Nevvy
shall reduce the number of em
ployees of the office force of the i
survey, or the rate of compensa
tion, so as to bring the expendi
tures therefor down to the sum of
$125,000 thus putting a limit to the
redaction and abandoning the idea
of re organizing the force, and the
eurvey was finally passed.
Mr. Wilson, of Dakota, com
plained of the injustice done his
people. He was unable, he said, to
get even a Democrat appointed to
an Indian agency in his State, who
lived there. But that office, and
others in the Indian service, have
been filled by appointees from
Texas, Mississippi, Tenessee, Geor
gia and other Southern States. “I’m
afraid,” he continued, “that Geor
gia wiil be depopulated before the
term of the present honorable Sec
retary of the Interior shall expire.”
In conclusion, he said the Repre
sentatives of his State were weak,
but he believed the time was com
ing when they would be popular
and numerous enough to demand
and secure their rights “When
that day does come,” he said “we
shall not wreak our vengeance upon
you or your section of the country,
nor treat you with that injustice
which is now meted out to us.”
At 4;55 the committee rose and
the House took a recess until 8
o’clock, the night session to be for
the consideration of private pen
sion bills.
A Defect la ilreckluridge’s Marriage
Certificate
By Southern Associated Press.
New York, March 16. Although
Congressman Breckinridge was
married to Mrs Louisa S. Wing, in
this city, on April 29, 1893, the
marriage certificate was not filed
at the Bureau of Vital Statiscs here
until today. The ceremony was
preformed by the Rev. Dr. John li.
Paxton, at that time pastor of the
West Presbyterian Church, at his
.residence, 51 West 46th Street. The
certificate which came by mail con
tains these details relative to the
contracting parties:
The groom, Wm. C. P. Breckin
ridge, aged 65, residence, Laxing
tou, Ky.,born in Baltimore, widower,
second marriage. The bride, Mrs.
Louise R S. Wing, born in Ken
tucky, widow, second marriage,
maiden name, Scott. The witnesses
to the marriage were Mary L Pax
ton and Eleanor M. Collier. The
ceetificate was mailed to the Bureau
of Vital Statistics by Chas. F. But
ler, a colored man in chargo of Dr.
Paxton’s residence, upon Dr. Pax
ton’s telegraphic order.
The bureau has notified Dr. Pax
ton that the certificate fails to com
ply with the law’s requirements. It
omits to state the sge of the bride,
and ihe official station and residence
of the person by whom married.
The law requires a report of the
marriage within ten days. The
doctor is asked to explain his fail
ure to comply with this require
ment. He has incurred a penalty
of ten dollars.

SAV«!D BY THE ANTIDOTE.
Perm mganate of Potash Counteracts
the effect of Laudanum.
Pittsburg, Pa., Maroh 14.—At 9
o’clock last night George Dundear
took five ounces of laudanum with
suicidal intent. A physician used
all ordinary means for resuscitating,
but with no avail. As a last re
source, Dundear was removed to
th« Homeopathic Hospital.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
would be suicide was blue in the
face and his narvous system par
ah zed, Dra. Moreland and Gregg
resolved to try the nowly-discov
ered antidote, permanganate of pot
ash. The doctors had no data to
go on and could only use experi
mental doses of the remedy. With
the fifth injection the muscles be
gan to contract. Seven injections
in all were made and then the pa

Horse Falls lato the Orcliestra.
New York, March 14 —An excit
ing scene was enacted at the Aca
demy of Music tonight which was
not on the programme. During
the third act of the play “The Girl
I Left Behind Me,” at the point
where the squad of cavalry dashed
in on the stage, one of the riders
fell his horse. The horse also
fell and shot clear over the foot
lights into the orchestra below.
The musicians became panic
stricken and fled in dismay in all
directions, tumbling over chairs,
music racks, and dropping their in
struments in their flight. The
horse got mixed up in the chairs,
music racks, and instruments, and
floundered about for several min
utes in a vain effort to release him
self.
The entire play was suspended
and there was no little excitement
among the audience. Three or four
ladies fainted. Several of the ac
tors rushed around calling for help,
and finally the stage carpentera
came to the rescue.
The horse was so tangled in the
debris his fall into the orchestra
had caused tbat it was almost im
possible to release the animal, ex
cept by removing a portion of the
orchestra railing. This was done
after a long delay and considerable
difficulty. The play was interrupted
for almost half an hour.
