Watson, of Rushville, who has visited fifty-three counties in the State since the Wilson bill came before Congress, opened the Republican campaign In this Democratic stronghold last night with one of the best political speeches ever heard here.

Again the rough fired and again missed, but the third shot struck Hoover In the breast, being deflected by a steel pencil holder. It entered a memorandum book, passed on through his clothing and penetrated his breast, making an ugly wound, but one from which it is believed he will recover. After receiving the wound the brakeman rushed at the tramp and forced him ofT. and the train having gathered headway nothing more was seen of him. Hoover was brought to this city this morning and is now comfortably resting. An army of tramps Is Infesting this vicinity.

THE PLAINTIFF KESTS.

(Concluded from First Pape.) to which he had, of course, paid no attention, and then followed his public marriage to Mrs. Wing in July. In such a case the character of the plaintiff was necessarily an issue, and particularly where she claimed that the defendant had wronged her. No man was liable, morally or legally, for not doing a thing which was morally impossible. When Miss Pollard met Colonel Breckinridtre she was a matured woman. at least twenty-one years of age. She had denied the fact of a mock marriage with Alex. Julian, had explained the nature of her relations with Mr. Roselle, but afiidavlts from these men would be read, with evidence, that before she met Colonel Breckinridge she had been seen at a questionable resort. The "Wessle" Brown letter showed that she had been in some sort of relations with Koselle and others. At this point in the statement objection was offered by Mr. Wilson, and sustained by the court, that the statement was drifting into an argument. Colonel Shelby, resuming, said that the motive of the plaintiff in bringing the suit must be considered; that, as stated by the plaintiff, it had not been for money nor to vindicate her own character, which was necessarily destroyed by the suit, but for revenge and to destroy the power of the defendant. Again Mr. Wilson renewed his objection that the attorney, was not only attempting to state the law, instead of facts, but was stating the law incorrectly. Mere form did not constitute a contract, Mr. Shelby continued, when the parties both understood that the semblance of a contract was created for some other purpose. There was merely the semblance of a contract that Miss Pollard might be able to terminate relations with the defendant, and with this the statement closed. Mr. Wilson attempted to reply to the statement that It would be shown that Miss Pollard had visited a questionable resort with men other than the defendant, but was not permitted to do so. A DEPOSITION HEAD. Testimony Given by Sister Afgnes Retina Brown, of Norwood Convent. Attorney Stoll, who had been compared to "Bill Nye" in facial contour, then started to read the deposition of Sister Agnes Itegina Ilrown, when the plaintiff's attorneys interrupted him. Insisting upon the exedse of their right to examine the deposition before it was read. They had no objection on a casual glance. The deposition had been taken at the Norwood Convent Asylum, near Cincinnati, where the Sister had been in 1S5. She had seen all the inmates; some of them were veiled when they went on tho street, but none were veiled from her. There was one who had been veiled from the physician who attended her, but this was in 1S3-1. Deponent did not know Madeline Pollard, but had for the first time seen her In 1S92 in the library next to the oflice with Messrs. Carlisle and Johnson, her attorneys, when Miss Pollard has asked if the Sister knew her, but the Sister did not remember. Deponent questioned her, but she did not remember the Sister nor who had been the Mother Superior. Miss Pollard had said that she went under the name of Louise Wilson, but when the Sister had said that no Louise Wilson had been there, but that a girl named Burgoyne had a child there at that time, Miss Pollard had replied: "Oh, that was the name I went by. There were so many of them I did not remember." Then Miss Pollard had asked what had become of the child, and had been told that It died last July. She had then gone into hysterics. Miss Pollard remembered the death of a girl while she was there, but had forgotten the death of a Sister who had died in a room near by. The Sister said Miss Pollard had ne'er been there, and did not know much about the house. Miss Pollard hd spoken of giving the volumes of Washington Irving to the convent; the Sister had Baid she thought the books were given by a girl who had been there and who thought she had not compensated them sufficiently for the board. They found them In the library. Miss Pollard remembered having left a Christmas card from a man named Davis in one of the books, which she found. From the questions propounded by the attorneys for the defendant at that time it seemed they had tried to throw suspicion upon attorney Carlisle of having slipped the card into . the book. The Sister said the card had not the appearance of having been in a book nine years, but looked as though it had been rolled up. Miss Pollard had Bald when the sister auggested compromise, that Mr. Breckinridge had no money, and that she was euing to disgrace him. The slater had said that Mr. Breckinridge would still be Mr. Breckinridge after tha trial; that his friends would still receive him, while the woman would be ruined. Attorney Johnson had Id: "But he will not be called upon to address young ladies' seminaries and open prayer meetings," to which the sister had replied that she presumed there were others at prayer meetings as bad as Mr. Breckinridge was accused of being. Miss Pollard remembered having spoken to the priest at the convent, and that he was doaf. The sister superior had r3proved her for speaking to him. The sister denied that Mrs. Dr. Street had ever called there to see a patient. Mr. Carlisle had brought a letter of introduction to the sister from Archbishop Elder, who wrote that they had been recommended to him by Bishop Keane, of Washington. Attorney Overmeyer, of Cincinnati, had called at the convent, looking for the evldenc? in the case of Miss Pollard, but had said that he must send some startling message to Miss Pollard's attorneys, that they had been able to find no trace of her. A servant named Eliza had been able to recollect Miss Pollard at lirst, but afterward, when the sister cautioned her to be careful, acted a3 though she might remember tier. Sister Agnes had eaid to Miss Pollard: "What a bad girl you have been to go with a man who had a wife;" to which Miss Pollard had replied: "I have been a bad girl, but a better woman." No inquiries had been made by MIts Tollard. so far as the sister knew, about the child she claimed to have given birth to there. As the sister remembered Miss Burgoyne, she had been shorter than Miss Pollard and lighter; had seemed very fond of reading, and spent most of her time in the library-. Miss Burgoyn was from an Ohio town, and had been attended bv Ir De Courcey. The girl who gave the books had said when she was there that there was enough wrapped up with them to pay for her burial if she died, so that no one would ever know who she was. The cross-examination of this sister was read by Mr. Carlisle, the sister saying that the writing on the card lookrd like fresh writing, as though it had been written about four weeks before. There had been an average number of ons hundred girls a year in the asylum, most of whom were under assumed names. Sometimes when Dr. De Courcey was avay a midwife attrnded at births. After the deposition was finished the court adjourned. AIDED 1IV SOCIETY AVOMEV. Mrs. Buchanan Tells Who In Paying the Cost m of MIks Pollard's Stilt. CINCINNATI, March 21. There has been much speculation as to who Is footing MlS3 Pollard'3 bills, in her suit against Colonel Breckinridge. Mrs. Buchanan, the physician who testified in the plaintiff's behalf at Washington, last week, has returned to the city, and tells what she believes to be the truthful version of the source of Mis3 Pollard's money. Last night rhe consented to an interview with a Tribune reporter in the presence of her attorney. In answer to a question, she said: "First, let me tell what I know of Miss Pollard. She came to my house for treatment in 1-So. The name she gave was Louise Wilson, and that was the only name I knew her by. She was at my house a long while, but went out very little, and made, I think, few acquaintances. Her money came through the mail, except in one Instance, when she went away on the train after some of it. She was gone the better part of a day on this trip. When she left I did not see her again until I was called upon to Identify her in thi3 city recently. At that time &he came down, to my houso

Highest of all in Leavening Power.

n to see me. We went up town together, and when we got on a street car I wanted to pay the fare. Miss Pollard objected, and when I Insisted she said. Oh. Mrs. Buchanan, you need not mind, for the expenses incurred by my witnesses In this trial are ull paid by a fund raised for me in Washington.' The subject was dropped then and was not again referred to until I was about to leave Washington. Then 1 learned from Miss Pollard's attorneys, and from her own lips again, that the society people of Washington had quietly raised a fund for her to carry on her case with. I do not know Just how much this fund amounts to, but it is sutilcient for all needs. You see. Miss Pollard does not live on the money raised in this way. She is living at the House of Mercy there, purely on charity. I was told the same story, in substance, before I left Cincinnati, by Mr. Guy Mallon, who was Miss Pollard's attorney here, lie gave me the money for my expenses to Washington, and several times while I was there I was asked by Miss Pollard's lawyers whether I needed any more money." "How do you account, Mrs. Buchanan, for the fund being so quietly raised by the societv people of Washington?" "Well, in the first place, while Washington society Is, of course, keeping very quiet with relerenco to this case, it is in general very indignant at Colonel Breckinridge for introducing Madeline Pollard there under the circumstances which he did. This feeling amounts to positive bitterness in many Instances, and society is resolved to be avenged. By this I mean introducing her as his intended wife. In order to be avenged a few of those of prominence there, who think they have been insulted by Colonel Breckinridge, raised the fund of which I have spoken. The feeling toward Miss Pollard there is very lenient. I know of one Instance, of which Miss Pollard spoke to me. In which a very prominent lady there offered her a situation as companion as soon as the trial was over. "Miss Pollard is very confident in private that she will win her case. She is, In fact, positive that she will win, and often speaks in that way. Her attorneys, too, are confident, and I know that the report about their serving without compensation is correct." Rev. Dr. Pnxton Mny He Sued. NEW YORK, March 21. The matter of Rev. Dr. Paxton's failure to record the marriage certificate of Congressman Breckinridge and Mrs. Wing has been referred to William II. Steiner, attorney to the health department, with Instructions to take such action as he may deem necessary. The law requires marriage certificates to be filed within ten days. Mr. Steiner said he would communicate with Dr. Paxton and call attention to the violation of the law and ask for an explanation. If Dr. Paxton fails to make a proper explanation, suit may be brought against him by the attorney, but the latter has no jurisdiction if Dr. Paxton is away from the city, as he now is. Xot n. Northern Presbyterian. COLUMBUS, O., March 21. Rev. A. E. Taylor, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church here, and who Is well acquainted with tho Breckinridge families, stated today that W. C. P. Breckinridge is not a member of the Northern Presbyterian Church, nor connected with it in any way, and hence, as often stated by some of the newspapers, had no connection whatever with the trial of Dr. Briggs. Breckinridge's Chnrch. LEXINGTON, Ky., March 21. The members of the First Presbyterian Church here are indignant over the report that Colonel Breckinridge is an officer in that church. Colonel Breckinridge was a member of the Mount Horeb Presbyterian Church in this county, which was founded by his father, Robert J. Breckinridge, but his membership was never taken from that church on his father's account. 3Ilss Pollard May Write a Hook. LEXINGTON, Ky., March 21. Miss Pollard's friends deny Bhe will kill Colonel Breckinridge if she loses tho suit for breach of promise, but in any event, they say, she will write a book giving all the unfortunate events of her life and a graphic account of her infatuation and relations for ten years with Breckinridge. JERSEY'S TANGLE UNRAVELED. Decision of the Supreme Court in Favor of the Republican Senate. TRENTON, March 21. Chief Justice Becsley, of the New Jersey Supreme Court, to-day rendered a decision in the contested State senatorshlp case of Rogers against Adrian. The decision is a complete victory for the Republicans. Justice Beasley find that the Republican Senate, as organized by President Rogers, is a lawful body and that Rogers is the President of the Senate. Some time ago the Democrats declared that they would abide by the decision of the Chief Justice and would not carry the controversy any further. As soon as he ler.rned of the decision of the Supreme Court, Governor Werts, who Is a Democrat, sent for the Republican Treasurer-elect and Controllerelect and issued commissions to them to date from April 2. The opinion of the Supreme Court, delivered by Chief Justice Beasley, closes as follows: "In fine, after a very careful study of the Constitution of the State, my conclusion is that its intimations are all to this effect: That the claim advanced for the first time, on this occasion, that the Senate is a permanent continuous body is without any valid foundation. Nor has this been found any more substantial basis for the doctrine Just discarded In the past practice of the Senate in respect to its yearly organization. DL00DY STREET DUEL.

The third gamo In the chess match for 14,000 and the championship of the world between Steinltz and Emanuel Lasker commenced this afternoon. As anticipated, Lasker, who had the move, again resorted to his favorite opening (the Ruy Lopez), and Steinltz, despite the reverse met in the first came of thia match, still adhered to the defense whereof he is the Inventor. He, however, pursued a different course from the one taken in the first came In his eighth move. liy his next move Lasker again brought about the Identical position which occurred in the first game, but on the tteventh move Steinltz again changed his tactics. The veteran got in difficulties, and on the twenty-sixth move lost a piece. He made an uphill tight thereafter, both players surprising each other. On th? forty-fifth move the ga:na was Adjourned, Lacker realizing his move. The game will be concluded to-morrow. Woman In Politic. To the Editor of th Indianapolis Journal: Sho is there, or nearly there, and would have been much nearer but for the madness of some of her professed friends. Over the constart protests of the levelheaded a few would-be leaders began ?.rly to Insist on having a political party for their special crotchet. They could not wait the slow movements of the masses, but must leap at one bound to the consummation of their scheme. Of course, they began to denounce everybody who did not follow their leadership, and to teach that nono were friendly to thsir views who d:d not train with them. After a decade or so the party gave up the ghost, but the leaders sought alliance with a moribund jxirty of very much the same breadth of thought, or, rather, the other party sought to boost Itself Into a little longer life by taking on the "remains" of the dlsba?ided party. Now, old Linlley Murray's rule, "two negatives In English destroy one another and, are equlvaleut tu an afllrmatlve," is as truo in grammar as ever, but this experiment In politics shows that two negative parties uniting in one destroy one another, and are equivalent only to ztro, or thereabouts. It is due to the truth of history to record that from the first the mor intelligent women and men who favored eiuul suffrage and all that it Implies never hympithleel with either of these mad schemer;. They saw at once that it handlrupp'M the:n in their earnest labors to edjrjK the millions to the point of obtaining and sustaining such legislation as woul 1 mal:' thtir thought a reality. They refused to go with it into a separate party, and thy t-jually refuse to go with its self-de!ire 1 gcdfather. Nevertheless, there has Men a gradual assenting to tho e.'nential thought, of the rights of women to whatever t.e'.orij; to the race- in spite of the exhibitions which the Ieasej and the Cougars of the time have mad of themselves. Iiut now tomes a new threat, and th worst of it, it is home born. Mrs. Humor, who by the way does not always tell tha truth. Is spying that sume ho:ne organization of women, most reputable in its personnel, has determined njt to b? happy unless one or more women are put on the city School Hoard. I am sorry. There Is no doubt that there are several women in the city who are e-iuil, if not superior, to the very best m-tx now on that board, or likelv to put on it at th-? coming ehction. Their iong connection uith the schools anJ with school work give them exception il qualifications, end thvlr district.- could hardly di better man 10 eiect tliem. Jlut thev should be elected because? of their superior fitness, not tirnply because they are women. The I roposltion, as I un lerstand it. U to elect a woman because she 1 a woman, and if rejHjrts are tr.;--', a committee of worsen are hunting for the persjn. That I all wrong. They may hit upon a good society woman or a leader of ni? or more clubs, and yet make a great mistake as to si-ecial fitness for the office. It is well to remember that this offi.- requires a personal fitness. Almost anyldy m::y make a good county clerk or county recorder, for deputies can l hired to do ths work, but to be a good Major, or a gtod Ju U;e, cr a good county commissioner, or a good school commissioner reiuire a j -r-sonal Mtness. Iet us ho;o that th? filters will not Insist cn asking us to vote lor a woman because he Is a woman and a leader in some department of t-oeiil life, but because she has the b st av-l'ab'e qualifications for th- office, r.n e i vomm found in e'thr of i:--'-'9 soon to elect ncjw members?
