Senator ( olqultt Sick.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 20.—Senator
Colquitt, of Georgia, has again been
stricken with paralysis, this time in
his throat, and his condition is se
rious. Senator Colquitt was in his
committee room yesterday in his
usual health, and just prior to bis
departure for Lome dictated a num
ber of letters to hi 3 clerk. He did
not complain of feeling unwell be
yond the effects of his previous
stroke, from which, however, he has
recently improved, be having been
able to get into the Senate chamber
without the use of bis wheeling
chair. The first attack camo two
summers ago and was attributed to
overwork. The second attack came
during last night and although the
Senator is reported as better today,
bis condition is critical- The part
directly affected this time is the
throat, and it is impossible to give
him nourishment or for him to
speak. Physicians have been in at
tendance since the attack came on,
but no prediction is made as to the
usual ultimate outcome of this sec
ond attack, which affeots a part of
the body that makes Mr. Colquitt’s
condition extremely critical.
Members of tbe House Witness the rest
lug of the llitrteen Inch Gun.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 20 —The
cause of the adjournment of the
House until tomorrow was the gen
eral desire cn the part of the mem
bers to witness the testing of the
new .13 inch gun at Indian Head
proving ground. It is the first rille
of that s:'z3 made in the United
States and was made at the
gun shop in the Washington navy
yard. There will be 12 of them in
all, intended for the armament of
the battleships Indians, lowa, Mas
sachusetts and Oregon.
The contested election case of
O'Neill vi. Joy, from the 11th Mis
souri district, is the pending busi
ness in the House, and it being con
ceded that a quorum of Democratic
members will not be present tomor
row to take up the case, it was
deemed to be just as well for the
House to permit those members
who desired to witness the test to
do so, as to compel their attendance
upon a session devoted to unavail
ing roll calls and calls of the House.

SENSATIONAL INCIDENTS.
IS IHR EXAMINATION OR MISS
I’ULLAUD AS A WITNESS.
She Makes Startling Statements* gainst
the Deiendant, col. Breckinridge—
The Witness Ends in Tears.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 20.—The fore
noon session of the Pollard-Breck
enridge trial today was not dull by
any means, but the afternoon pro
ceedings developed a succession of
tempestuous and sensational inci
dents from the time the court re
convened after the recess until it
adjourned at 3 o’clock, with Miss
Pollard weepsng for her children,
her head bowed on the rail of the
witness box. Questions by Msj
Butterworth as to her relations with
Col. Breckinridge after his secret
marriage brought out words of
scorn and aocusation against the
defendant. He was charged with
having maligned his present wife,
formerly Mrs. Wing, with swear
ing love and devotion for Miss
Pollard three weeks after this
secret marriage, when she was
in ignorance of it, and with
acting the part of the deceiver in
every possible way. Incidentally it
oame out that a tragedy was nar
rowly avoided in the Hoffman
House in New York two days after
Col. Breckinridge’s first marriage in
that city to Mrs. Wing, and while
he was occupying communicating
rooms in that hotel with Mies Pol
lard, who was registered as his
daughter. Another new and start
ling incident brought out in the
cross-examination was that Miss
Pollard on one occasion after the
marriage and before she knew of it
went to the house in this city where
Col. Breckinridge and his present
wife (not then acknowledged) were
residing, that on seeing her they
both crouohed behind a curtain,
whereupon she called out, “Willie,
come out,” and he cams out and ac
companied her to Dr. Lincoln’s
These and other scenes entirely
overshadowed the morning exami
nation which was mainly devoted to
reading the deceitful letters ad
dressed by the plaintiff to her dupe,
Rhodes.
This wa3 Miss Pollard’s third day
of the ordeal of cross-examination,
and in anticipation of seeing and
hearing her the usual throng sur
rounded about the doors leading to
the court-room long before the
oourt convened. Yesterday’s admo
nition by Judge Bradley to the re
porters against their expressions of
approval and disapproval, and his
remark that all Washington had
come to see the show, had its effeot
in making the bailiffs unusually
careful, and they managed to keep
out of the chamber nearly all of
those who came merely out of curi
osity.
Miss Pollard took the stand al
most immediately after court con
vened, and Major Butterworth be
gan to question her about her ac
quaintance with Mrs. Blackburn, of
Kentucky, who had testified Col.
Breckinridge put Miss Pollard un
der her charge as his affianced wife
This line of inquiry suggested to
the spectators the claim of Col.
Breckinridge that he will contro
vert Mrs. Blackburn’s testimony.
Miss Pollard said she met Mrs.
Blackburn in the winter of 1890- 91.
She was handed a letter by Major
Butterworth, with the request that
she examine it.
“This is written to Mr. Rodes”,
she said, “it is my handwriting”
and then a minute later, “Why is
the heading torn off that letter, Mr.
Butterworth?”
“I don’t know, Miss Pollard”, said
Maj. Butterworth.
“Does Mr. Breckinridge know?”
she asked.
“Now, Miss Pollard, you must not
ask queetions of Mr. Butterworth”,
said Mr. Carlisle, her attorney, and
Miss Pollard became quiet.
Maj Butterworth then read a let
ter which was dated Lexington,
Ky., November 20, 1884, It begged
Rhodes for S4O to pay her board
bill, and called him “Dear.”
Major Butterworth read another
letter to Rhodes dated Lexington,
November, 27, 1884, in which Miss
Pollard repeated this request for
money.
“Mr. Butterworth, there were a
great many more letters,” said Miss
Pollard, when Major Butterworth
had sat down as if he had nothing
more to read. Taking the hint Mi j or
Butterworth then read a letter from
Mbs Pollard to Rhodes dated
Bridgeport, Ky., December 30, 84
It was merely of a friendly charac
ter, bright and signed “Yours with
love, Madeline.”
Another letter rather perempto
ily asking Rhodes for the S4O, and
wondering why he had not brought
it, as “Friday was pay day. Do not
come unless you bring what I asked
for.” (Signed) “M," was the con
clusion.
Still another letter from Miss Pol
lard, dated New Orleans, February
15, 1885, told Rhodes she would
take “this—my first opportunity—
to write to you and mamma," and ,
informing him that he should have
every dollar of his money back,
and “if I am provoked again as I
have been, I think it will only be
for once."
MiBS Pollard buried her face in
her hands and laughed at some of
the advioe in the letter to the old
RALEIGH, N C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1894
man—telling him to go to church
often —and also at a remark. “If
you could see the pretty girls here
i you world not look at me.” The
letter ended: “With love and
kisses. Madeline.”
Miss rollard seemed in better
1 spirits than she has been at any
time since the trial began. Her face
was placid, and she smiled fre
quently.
Another letter dated New Or
leans (where Miss Pollard said she
was attending the exposition) dated
* February 21, 1885, was of a light,
’ gossipy character and signed “ Lov
. ingly, Madeline.” This letter, like
i the others, although dated New
Orleans, was postmarked “Lowles
boro, Ky.” So was the next letter
' read, which was dated “Jackson
i ville.”
i Mies Pollard wanted to explain
, this mystery, but she was not al
lowed to do so. She appeared much
amused at her girlish expressions,
“Dearest Mr Rodes," and “With
p love and kieses, ’’ made her smile.
More letters were shown her by
Major Butterworth.
“ Yes, these are all mine,” she
said with a half laugh. “ I’m so
glad they are.”
“So am I,” said Major Butter
worth.
These letters were written at the
time when Miss Pollard testified ehe
had gone to Cincinnati during first
pregnancy. Her baby was born in
May following.
Major Butterworth read the let
ters in order of date. The next was
dated “Cincinnati, O, July 1, ’85.”
An explanation of how the letters
were sent to Miss Pollard in Cincin
nati and not to New Orleans and
Jacksonville was given in one of the
letters, in which Mies Pollard said
Rodes must send the letters to her
mother to be forwarded so that they
could come with her mother’s notes
and keep her aunt with whom she
pretended to be from knowing of
her affair with Rhodes.
Other letters to Rhodes, princi
pally of a dunning character, and
of no interest that was apparent.
When Major Butterworth had
finished reading, he asked Miss Pol
lard if she had not said that these
letters were for the purpose of mis
leading Rhodes, but Mr. Carlisle in
terfered and said Major Butterworth
should specify “what letters.” Maj
Butterworth referred to a statement
of Miss Pollard’s that she had read
Washington Irving at the school.
“I beg your pardon, Mr. B ” said
Miss Pollard, “the letter containing
that statement was from New Or
leans.”
"Were you in New Orleans then?”
I was never in New Orleans in
my life, Mr. Breckinridge knows
perfeotly well why those letters
were written —they were written to
deceive Mr. Rodes, they were sent
to my mother, in s Oincinati be
fore and after my baby was born and
she mailed them to Mr. Rodes.
“Why did you ask for so much
money ?”
“I did it to cover up suspicion if
I had not asked for it he would
have wondered how I lived. I did
not want the money, for Mr. Breck
inridge would have furnished ail
that I needed, every letter bears
the mark of what I say.”
“Did ycu get any money?”
“Yes, and used it too, why should
I be obliged to say I did not need
it when I had asked for it?”
Did Mr. Rodes pay you the S4O
and the several sums you asked foi?
asked Butterworth.
“I really don’t remember, but I
presume he did,” said Miss Pollard
To another question Miss Pollard
exclaimed that she wrote these let
ters to cover up her tracks from
Rodes at Col. Breckinridge’s sugges
tion, “fa* knows all this little trick
of deceit” she added. Col Breck
inridge had not supervised any of
these letters, she said, but he told
her what (to write in the letters
dated N. 0., because she had never
been there. The letters, as she had
said, had been forwarded to her
mother at Toiesboro. Her mother
knew she was in Cincinati thinking
MiBS Pollard was employed there.
Here Miss Pollard broke in with:
“And I want to say that the main
letters written to mama were dic
tated by Mr. Breckinridge, taken
by him to the postal cars, anywhere
to cover up a postmark and deceive
her. He sometimes wrote to mama
himself and often filled in the no es
of the letters to Mr. Rhodes ”
“Miss Pollard’’, said Maj. Butter
worth, “please answer my questions
and don’t try to envelop them in a
fog of phrases."
“I am using facts, not phrases”,
was the answer. “I have fully ex
plained these things to you, Mr.
Butterworth. I have told you ail
about them; bo please don’t ask me
about them any more.”
To a reference to her mother as
“the agency of deception” in the
Bbodes correspondence, Miss Pol
lard objected. “Poor dear mama”,
she said, “should not be accused of
that.”
Muj. Butterworth replied with
spirit to an objection of Mr. Car
lisle to some of hid questions.
Maj. Butterworth said that witness
bad made diverse statements—one
on this stand, another in letters.
She claimed that she had the letters
to Rhodes sent from Lowlesboro to
deceive him, but she did not let
him know she was in Cincinnati be
cause he might come to look her up 1
This was absurd, it was easier to
find her in a small town, that could
be searched in an hour, than in Cin
cinnati, and why should he not go
to Lowlesboro, which was seventy
five miles nearer his home ? These
letters were sent from Lowles
boro, said Mr. Butterworth.
“But, they were not,” interjected
Miss Pollard.
“Miss Pollard you must keep out
of this discussion,” said Mr. Car
lisle sternly.
“Oh,” ejaculated Miss Pollard,
settling back in her chair.
Here a recess was taken until 1:15
o'clock.
At the afternoon session, when
Maj. Butterworth asked Miss Pol
lard if her mother knew why she
was staying in Cincinnati, Miss Pol
lard answered that she had told her
mother that there was a very good
reason why her presence in Cincin
nati be kept secret. There were
two or three stories involved, she
said, frankly. “I will tell what
they were if you wish.” Miss Pol
lard said Col. Breckinridge had
written letters on the typewriter to
her mother while she was in the
Foudling Asylum, and Maj. Breck
inridge asked : “What was in those
letters ?”
“I don’t know, but I’m sure Mr.
Breckinridge can tell you; he wrote
them and knows all about them.”
Some questions to Miss Pollard
about the Rodes contract developed
the faot that neither Bide possessed
the document and each supposed
the other had it.
Butterworth asked what did the
understanding or contract with
Rodes embrace.
Mias Bollard said it was under
stood that Rodes should pay about
$450 a year for tuition and board,
and ste went to a convent in Sep
tember 1883. “I did not ask him
for any money during the whole
time I was in Cincinnati to 1885,
from February on, and you will
not find a reference to money in hi 3
l itters, not oi. e I was supposed to be
working at the time.
Mr. Rhodes supposed she was a
traveling companion.
“When you were in Washington
first did you write for any jour
nals ?” Msj, Butterworth asked.
“No, I never did. I aaid so
though. Mr. Breckinridge made
up these stories for me to tell and I
told them, so as to make it appear
right that 1 was here.”
“Miss Pollard, were there never
questions raised as to your rela
tions with Col. Breckinridge, and if
so what preparations did you make
to offnet them ?”
“We made an arrangement by
which I was to tell him if any sus
picions arose. There were ques
tions asked me which I found it
hard to answer.”
“Did you believe there was noth-
ing between Colonel Breokinridge
and Mrs, Wing? ”
“He toid me that she was a very
worldly woman, and I certainly be
came suspicious that he should
spend twelve days with a worldly
woman.”
“ Miss Pollard, did not you and
Colonel Breckinridge have some
scenes about this time?”
“Oh yes,” she cried.
“ Life with that man could not be
all happiness to every body.”
“Did you go to New York about
the time of this marriage ?”
“Yes, sir; I went to New York on
April 29. h last and saw Col. Breck
inridge on May Ist—two days after
his marriage.
“Did you register as his daughter
at the Hoffman House.”
‘ Yes sir, on May 17th.
“You got a room, did you not,
opening into that of Mr. Brecken.
ridge’s ?”
“Yes sir.”
Mr. Breckinridge, she said, had
joined her the Sunday night of bis
marriage at the Hoffman House,
and said he might have to go away.
He said a big company had been
formed, with Mr. Whitney, Mr.'
Fairchild and other rich men with
a capital of $30,000,000, and they
were going to commission him to
go abroad and he wanted to know
if I would marry him and go abroad
with him. I said : “Willie, I will
go with a minute’s notice.” He
went out, asking me to put some of
hia clothes together, and I looked
over his teleecope bag and found a
revolver in it. I became suspicious
at this for he had been ac.ing very
oddly.
“Then he came back and acted
very queerly. I told him I did not
believe what he said. I asked him
if he intended to keep his solemn
promise to marry me, and he said:
‘Madeline, I never loved another
woman as I love you, my darling; I
have nevor thought of another
woman—never a thought but of
you has been in my mind.’ ”
“I told him if he did not marry
me 1 would kill both him and my
self, and he swore he would marry
me, and remove my suspicious.”
Miss Pollard admitted frankly
that ehe had bought a pistol to kill
the defendant and herself. She had
also bought a pistol in February,
1893, to kill herself alone. She had
not believed all he told her; she be
gan to doubt him. She had begged
him to marry her and he had said
he would keep his solemn promise.
All this was after he was married to
Mrs. Wing.
Miss Pollard said she had given
her babies away because Mr. Breck
inridge had asked her to do so,
saying that they would be traced to
him. “What more can a woman
do ?” she said.
The spectators saw a woman’s
head drop on her hands and she
wept bitterly.
“What,” Maj. Butterworth started
to say; and then “Ob, I beg your
pardon.”
Miss Pollard’s voioe had dropped
from a tone of intense accusation
to a long drawn sob and ehe wept
like one whose veay heart was in
danger of breaking.
It was then 3 o’clock, just fifteen
minutes before the time for adjourn
ment
Maj. Butterworth, who said some
thing to Mr. Carlisle, and Mr. Car
lisle, rising, said the defence could
finish Miss Pollard’s examination
with greater rapidity it she would
take the stand again in the morn
ing, and they therefore asked an
adjournment*
Judge Bradley adjourned the
court, and Miss Pollard quickly
made her way out of the court room.

Denveb, Col., March 20—In the
face of a blinding enow storm, foot
sore, tired and hungry, the 300
members of the Colorado National
Guards arrived at Midland Station
at noon aud took the special train
for Colorado Springs. The miners
gave a hearty cheer as they left the
camp while the citizens deplored
their departure. Deputy sheriffs
arrested in Altman 23 of the strik

not resisted. Though matters are
quiet at the camp the men will not
undertake to work at any of the
mines under fear of mob violence.
Gov. Waite feels indignant that
the sheriff deceived him as to the
necessity of the militia, as he now
thinks it was only a ruse to get the

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.
THE! TARIFF BILL RRPORTKD TO
THE SENATE.
Mr. Feffer Will Move to Substitute Hls
Bill—The Sundry Civil Bill Passed
By the Bouse:
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 20.— -Senate
Soon after the reading of jester
days’* journal Senator Voorhees,
chairman of the finance committee,
reported the tariff bill to the Senate.
Mr. Morill, one of the Republican
members of the committee, stated
that so far as the Republican mem
bers of the committee was concerned
they did not object to the report
ing of the bill. They were opposed,
however, not only to the income tax
feature of the bill, but to the change
from specific to ad valorem duties
and to the great bulk of the pro
visions of tne bill. Mr. Yoohees
moved that the bill be printed and
placed on the cal ndar, and he gave
notice that on the second of April,
he would call up the bill for con
sideration by the Senate.
Tho motion to print and place on
the calendar wa3 agreed to.
Mr. McPherson, a member of the
finance committee, said that he had
absented to the report just made by
Mr. Voorboce, justifying his action
by the belief that whether wise or
unwise in all its provisions, the bill
was the best compromise obtainable
in a committee whose members dif
fered so widely in their views on
economical questions, and on the ef
fects of the bill on the propriety
of the country when embodied into
law. He said that he would find no
difficulty in supporting so much of
the bill as would yield to tho gov
ernment all the revenue needed,
when economically administered.
Beyond that jutfc and prop
er limitation, he must not be
expected to go, There were two
subjects in the bill which had re
ceived much public attention; and
he would state to the Senate (as he
had done to the committee) his
views upon them. First, he disa
greed with his colleagues of the
committee on the income tax sec
tion of the biii. Ample provision
having been made in the bill for
revenue, the presence of an income

By Southern Associated Proas.
Washington, March 21.—The fol
lowing ie the leaf tobacco clause iu
the tariff bill as finally agreed upon
by the Democratic members of the
Senate finance committee today. A
very important cmendment is made
in the section governing the manu
facture of tobacco, which is in
tended to prevent the sale of leaf
tobacco by dealers from competing
with the sale of manufactured to
bacco, but is ao worded as to pro
tect the farmer and grower of to
bacco in his right to sell his own
product without the payment of a
tax. This section is as follows:
“Every person whose business it
is to manufacture tobacco or snuff
for himself, or who employs others
to manufacture tobacco or snuff
whether such manufacture be by
cutting, pressing, grinding, crush
ed, or rubbing of any raw or leaf
tobacco or otherwise preparing
raw or leaf tooaoco or manuiautnr
mg or partially manufactured to
bacco cr aonff, or the putting up
for use or contsumplioa of scraps,
waste, clippings, stems, or deposits
of tobacco resulting from any pro*
cess of handling tobacco erby the
working or preparation of leaf to
bacco stems, scraps, clippings, or
waste by sifting, tw sting screening,
or any other pracees ehall bo re
gat dad as a manufacturer of to
bacco.
“Every person shall also be re
garded as a manufacturer of tobac
co whose business it is to sell leaf
tobacco in quantities less than orig
inal hogsheads, case or bale; or who
sells directly to customers, or to
persons other than duly registered
dealers in leaf tobacco or to duly
registered dealers in manufactured
tobacco, snuff or cigars, or to per
sons who purchase in original pack
ages for export; and all tobacco sold
by such persons shall oe regarded
as manufactured tobacco, and such
manufactured tobacco shall be put
up and prepared by such manufac
turer in such packages only as the
ccmmiesiocer of internal revenue,
with the approval of the Secretary
of the Treasury ehall prescribe;
provided, that farmers and growers
of tobacco who sell leaf tobacco of
own growing and raising shall not
be regarded as manufacturers of to
bacco and eo much of section 3241
of the revised statutes of tfceJJnited
States and all acta amendatory
thereof, as are in conflict with this
act, are hereby repealed.

The Grippe is a disease with so serious an
ending possible that its slightest attack
should have the immediate attention of
one’s physician, and it should be treated
by remedies dispensed under a physician,
and it should be treated by remedies dis
pensed under a physician’s prescription
alone.
Its most characteristic and painful symp
tom, however, the terrible ach ng pa n,
can be greatly relieved, and the patient
made very much more comfortable, by a
thorough rubbing of the body, w erever
painful, with Pond’s Extract, diluted with
hot water. This treatment will also tend
to prevent catching cold.
