iu -iUBo uum mere nai ot J. wo
proaiittes by Col. UroLkenriag to
marry iMits Pollard on May lst and
May 17th 18U3 respectively. It
was proposed to contradict to'me nf
Miss Pollard's ctattments regardii g
those interviews.
Major Mooro denied that ' in
either of the two interviews Colonel
Breckeundgo had sa'd: "Thi
one of life's tragedies" or that he
had said anj thing about Miss Pol-
lard's bearing two children or being
pregnant. In neither inteiview had
Colonel Breokenridge taid "tdie
knows 1 was u married man when
she t09k me" nor had Miss Pollard
said "yes I gave mystlf to him."
On cross-examination witness said
the first interview la-ted fifteen or
twei ty minutes ana the sec ud
nearly an hour. He li3d only made
notes of what impressed his mind at
the time 3ml could not pretend to
recall everything that took place.
His attention was called to the con
versalions three mouths afterwards
It was at the second interview that
Colonel Breokenridge took Mies
Pollard's and Major "Moore's bands
in his and promised to marry her.
Then when Judge Wilson aaked
if anything had been S3id or done
in that interview to iddicite
promise of marriage was merely a
scheme between the two partus
not tH3da in good faith the
dofense was strenuously vehe-
ment in its objections pro-
testing it called for an opin
ion which should bo the province
of the jury not the witness. Judfe
Brad'ey sdmitted it however and
Major Moore said nothing had been
dono of a sort to indicate a scheme
such as had been described. In re-
sponse to Judge Wilson's last ques
tion witness said Miss PolUrd's
manner had indicated gratification
when Colonel Breckinridge promised
to marry her.
Delegates Arriving.
Minneapolis March 27. Dele-
gates are arriving in brge numbers
to attend tho annual convention of
the state league of Republican
clubs which opens tomorrow.
Governor McKinley will be given a
hearty reception upon his arrival
tomorrow morning. He will be es-
corted to the West hotel by a largo
procession with banners and music
and will make a live minutes ad.
dress from the biloony. His great
speeoh however to deliver which
he makes the journey from Colum-
bus will not be delivered until
night. The demand for tickets has
been largo enough to till the great
exposition building in which the
Rfpublican national convention was
held five times over.

Louisville Onio .March 27.
How Coxey's army survived the
night seems a miracle. Herded to-
gether like penned-up cattle a hun-
dred men spent the night in a room
thirty by forty. The 3tmuMhere
could havo been cut with a knife
and death might h-.vo been caused
by asphyxiuion. However all were
on hand at eight o'clock this morn-
ing litre and there could bo seen
groups winding their W3y to camp
ready for the btifjle uall. Break
is i fest was under preparation and four
ou-hels of potatoes some cold ham
and sausage W3s g.ven out. All
seemed sUistied. Louis Smith the
"unknown" was in command. From
all appearances tho army will re
main intact no desertions having
taken place. On the coutrary 3n
increase of recruits is expected
during the march to Alliance.
Coxey and his aides took supper
at the camp Ian night and relumed
again th s morning for breakf.ist.
The weather is moderating and
good cheer prevails.
A corttial reception is promised
at Alliance from reports received in
C3tnp. The donations this morning
consisted of one overcoa'. The
tun is coming out in full strength
and the march promises an improve-
meet over yesterday.

On tho March.
Maxamo Onio. March 27. Tho
advance guards of the commonweal
army arrived in town at 10:30.
The start was made from Louisville
with 143 men by actual count. The
growth at Lo- isvillc was fair but
there havo been many desertions.
The leaders are confident however
that as the strength of the move-
ment increases additional recruits
will bo -received in much larger
numbers.
Tho ground was covered with
several inches of snow which Lids
fair to bo turned into s-lush before
the day is ended as the temperature
is rising.
It is expected tho command will
arrive at Alliance at 2:30 o'clock
where General Coxey will take the
train for Chicago. He claims that
his presence is necessary thero in
order to dispose of soino of his
horses. Ho will be absent about
two dajs after which he will again
join tho army.

Washington March 27. Repre-
sentative Isidor Strauss of Now
York has received an autograph
letter from Hon. W. L. Wilson
chairman of the ways and means
committee dated San AntonioTcx.
March 23rd.
That part whioh is of interest to
the public is as follows:
"I began improving about a week
ago and have steadily improved al
though I aro yet very weak and
emaciated. The doctor who ha"
been with me all of the time since I
have been at Guadalajara came
with me here. Just now thero is a
norther which makes it disagreeable
for those who are out but in a day
or two wo aro promised good warm
balmy weather. I sit up part of
each day and havo a fair appetite
for an invalid I stood tho trip
from Guadalajara very well having
a bed in the Pullman state room
most of the way."

Crops Injured by tho Blizzard.
A Tramp's Alarming Story.
Troy March 20. The recent
blizzard is considered here one of
the severest of the season. Gardens
are thought lo bo killed. Early
corn and other early vegetables aro
gone. Late corn it is thought will
pass.
The recent rains around Troy are
considered the heaviest for three
years. Farmers aro delighted and
confidenco fully restored. Prospects
for farming were never batter up to
the recent blizird.

dentally thrown from his buggy a
few uights ago diskciting his arm
and bruising him otherwise is
rapidly recc vrii g. lie will be able
to bo out agiiu in a few days.
The Easter servico at the Chris-
tian church last night given by the
Christian Endeivor society was
very enjoyable. The programme
was well carried out and tho large
audience teemed to greatly enjoy
the occasion.
Elder Curie of Horse Cave Ky.
delivered an eloquent d scourse at
the Baptist church last Sunday to a
largo and appreciative audience.
A tramp passed through this
plaeo today and ureated a little ex-
citement by warning the people ot
approaching danger. Ho said thaf
some tramps w hile passing through
here soma time ago were stoned by
a lot of boys and would bo here in
a few days and blow the town up.
Whether thero be aay truth in this
or not is net known but suspicious
characters will be clorely watched.

scorched corn considerably.
Tho Rockdalo tiro boys will soon
commence drilling regularly for tho
