tlm place and manner. "There was no further explanation to give. I could give no further explanation, and Mrs. Hlackburn said she would wash her hands of us, would wash her hands of people who were engaged and acted in that way, and could give no explanation of it," was one of the characteristic sentences. Continuing the description of the second visit to the Major, he said: "We agreed to say that she was going to New York to have a child; that I was responsible for her condition. We agreed on all but one point. She Insisted, crying several times, that I should tell Major Moore I was the only man who had ever been Intimate with her. I decline! to do that. I said I had put myself in the power of her and Major Moore already, and I would refuse to say to any man that I had led her astray. Then she said she would not go. As she turned her Jacket back I saw the gleam of a pistol in her bosom. I said: 'You are sitting close to me," and she said. I will use that on myself if I do on anybody.' Then, describing the scene at the office of the chief of police, where they sat on the sofa, he said: "he seemed to be dissatisfied with the form in which I made the statement. She took out the pistol and looked at it. I said: 'You had better let Major Moore take that and make me a Christmas present of it Then I said that norody could say that I had led her astray." Here the Colonel gave his reasons for making this statement. The account of this Interview in Major Moore's office differed from the version of it given by that officer and the plaintiff. THOUGHT HE WAS RID OP HER. Continuing his recital regarding the arrangements for Miss Pollard's visit to New York for confinement, Colonel Breckinridge said she only wanted to arrive there with J10 in her pocket, because she was afraid If she had more she would come back to Washington. She was to stop at No. 7 Thirty-first street, where she would have rood care. She was to study painting on China or in water colors when her strength would enable her to, and to continue her studies in English literature. He said: "I considered the problem settled so far as Washington, was concerned, so far as Mrs. Blackburn was concerned, so far as our relations were concerned. The only thing left open was regarding the child. I saJd to her that if it was my child, as I only partially believed it was, I wanted to educate it, to take care of it. to give it every chance possible for a child born out of wedlock, and In the meantime she was to have everj' care and tenderness. We parted without anger and on this understanding." Speaking of the reasons for leaving Washington the last of May, Colonel Breckinridge said they were not connected with the case, but were the most urgent possible reasons, relating to his younger son, who attended Washington and Lee University, and was In great difficulties He took the dispatches which, he had sent Miss Pollard during the trip and read them with great elocutionary effect The substance of most of them was that she should make herself comfortable. "That was Just what I meant," he commented, "that she should make herself as comfortable as possible. Nothing more; nothing less." Two dispatches received in Covington signed by a Mrs. Thomas, and Inquiring if he was in Covington, he said he suspected were from 'the plaintiff, with the name of her landlady as a blind. Miss Pollard had gone to New York on the 18th of May and returned the mh. After arriving in Lexington he received a telegram to the effect that Miss Pollard was coming there. He returned a message, the principal part of which was "wait," referring, he declared, to money. The correspondence wast reviewed at length. Objection was offered by Mr. Wilson that If Mr. Drkinridge had destroyed the letters from Miss Pollard, to which these telegrams were answered, he could not testify regarding their contents. NOT GOOD FAMILY RELICS, It was replied to by Mr. Butterworth that the letters had not been destroyed with any view of concealing evidence, but because they were not good things to preserve as family relics, for if found they would compromise both the recipient and the sender. "It was my custom," explained Colonel Breckinridge, "to destroy mv letters from the plaintiff as soon as received." Jujge Bradley overruled me Objection. ..,Uferrlnt? to one tekgram. which said: W holly uncertain; possibly by any train. Wholly certain June the 10th, dated May 27th, he said that ho could not recollect to what this was a reply, but apprehended that it was sent in reply to one of many letters inquiring when he would return to Washington. Ill name, W. C. P. Breckinridge, at the end of the telegram, he read with an impressive inflection. These dispatches had all been put in evidence by Miss I'd lard's attorneys, and Colonel Breckinridge was giving explanation of them, although several were read without comment. The Colonel seemed to be .amused when he srke of p, Cincinnati paper sent by his son containing "an announcement of the engagement between the plaintiff and myself." Meeting some lady on the street in Lexington they ypoke of it. he went on. "and I denied that such a marriage was possible. This was printed in the Gazette and. being seen by the plaintifY. she wrote me two or three letters inquiring if I had made the denial and threatening to publish our relations entire in the papers and to publish them at Lexington." "Did you," asked Mr. Butterworth. "have any relations with the plaintiff after the 29th of April. 1S33?" This Is the date on which the defendant was secretly married to Mrs. Wing. Mr. Breckinridge replied: "I did not. After the L1th of April. 18J3. I did not have anv relations with the plaintiff whatever. It Is absolutely false. I never privately met the plaintiff after I returned to Washington on the 31st day of March at any time or any place. I returned on the 31st of March and had the conversation with Mrs. Blackburn. Plaintiff and I had no relations on that day nor ever after that day. The arrangement made prior to my going to Mrs. Blackburn's as a condition to my going to Mrs. Blackburn's anil as the only reason I would go to Mrs. Blackburn's was that our relations should terminate, that she should leave the city of Washington and that the relations between herself and Mrs. Blackburn should be allowed to die out gradually. ar.fi I should supiort her until she should find some honorable vocation." Speaking of the plaintiffs employment in the Census OtTice. Colonel Breckinridge said that she had lost it during his -absence, when he thought she was badly treated. Miss Pollard made a remark expressing gratification at the death of General Sheridan, as was published at the time, although Mr. Breckinridge did not mention It. He had tlor.f everything in his power to assi t her to obtain reading matter, but had never advised her about her studies, except to endeavor to make her take ut rudimentarystudies, in which she was peculiarly deficient for a, woman of lur reading. He had assisted her in Kitting bonks from the Congressional Library, sending a list by the pnse. He had never furnished her with a translation of the Odyssey. It was ten minutes before 12 o'clock when Mr. Butterworth announced that the direct examination hail finished, although there mit;ht be a few more question, and he nked for a recess to enable him to look over l.is notes, so the rece.s was announced earlier than usual, until I2:i TIII2 CItOSS-KXAMIX ATIOV.

Ex-Judue AVllwon Miovtm l"p Some CitnrneierNlIe.- of tin Colonel. "Take the witness." said Mr. Butterworth, at the beginning of the afternoon session, and Mr. Wilson, reminding Colonel Breckinridge of his early eJucatlonal advantages, asked him what preparatory 6'ho!s he had attended, and then asked, "You had unur.ual educational advantages?" "Very unusual," was the reply. "And unusual social advantages?" "Yes. sir." "You began to practice law when?" "In 1SC7." "Your practice was interrupted by the war?" "Yes, sir, and I returned la 1S65."

"Was your professional career interrupted by difficulties with your clients?" "It was not." "Were ycur friends not obnged to raise money to help you out of trouble?" "I became greatly involved in trying to save some friends from bankruptcy, but did not have trouble with clients." "Your friends were not obliged to re turn moncv you had mlsopproprlated?" "They were not." In relating his connection with educational institutions. Colonel Breckinridge said that he had been a lecturer for several years, had been, nominally, a trustee of Sayre Institute, the female seminary attended by the plaintiff. "Your father was a minister of the gospel and president cf a college of what denomination?" asked ex-Judge Wilson. "The Presbyterian." replied the Colonel. "Are you a member of that church?" "In the sense that I am borne on its rolls. I became a member in 1&3 and have never withdrawn." "You have taken an Interest in the church?" "In the sense of contributing io far as my means would allow and giving legal advice when It was wanted. I have no recollection of ever addressing a presbytery or synod. I was never an officer of the church. In 1SS, at the centennial meeting in Philadelphia I addressed the meeting on Calvinism and religious freedom." "Have you taken active interest in Sunday school work?" "I have never been a teacher since I left the confederate army. It depends on what you mean by an active interest." "Have you lectured before young ladles seminaries?" asked Mr. Wilson. "I have addressed schools, lectured and delivered diplomas at times." "You were given a public reception at the Norwood Institution in this city?" "Oh yes." Thereupon Mr. Wilson handed up to the Colonel and requested him to read an invitation which he had sent to Miss Pollard in" February, 1833, requesting the pleasure of her company at a reception to the Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge at Norwood Institute, which he read. KNEW SARAH TWENTY YEARS. By questions concerning the Colonel's residence in Lexington in 1S84 Mr. Wilson elicited information that his home was on the same street with the house of Sarah Guess, four blocks away. Then he asked: "How long had you known Sarah Guess?" Colonel Breckinridge answered: "Oh, I can't tell; perhaps twenty years. "Did you know the character of ner house?" "I did." "Had you ever been there before you went with the plaintiff?" "I was." . m "Then I understand that before you met the plaintiff you had for years known Sarah Guess, known the character of the house, known the location of the house, and had been there before you went there with the plaintiff." "Each of those statements is true." Turning to the letter produced by the defense and purporting to have come from Miss Pollard, Mr. Wilson asked where the envelope was, and Mr. Breckinridge replied that It had been lost. It was his general custom to preserve all his letters, but the first letter from the plaintiff he could not find. "You have received a great many letters from her?" "I have." "And you are only able to produce of all them what is called this wooden or dummy letter?" "I do not admit that it was a dummy letter. I have not said so. After the relations which grew up between the plaintiff and myself on the 1st of August, 1SS1. 1 did not want to preserve the letters, because of many references in them." "You have received many telegrams from the plaintiff." "I never was in the habit of preserving telegrams." "So that of all your correspondence with th? plaintiff, extending over nine years, you have only this letter?" "It seems so." THEIR FIRST INTERVIEW. Mr. Wilson requested a specific account of all Miss Pollard had said during the first visit of Colonel Breckinridge to the Wesleyan Seminary, and that interview was again dissected, the Colonel denying that Miss Pollard had said it was part of her agreement with Rhodes to repay the money he had advanced for her schooling if she did not marry him, but explained that she had asked if it would not be all right if she repaid the money. In his most pathetic tones the Colonel repeated all the details of the interview; how she had insisted upon telling him all, and he had remonstrated that there were things she probably did not want to say to a stranger, advising her to go to her grandfather, mother or uncles. "There is an impression on my memory." he said, "although I cannot remember her language alter ten years, that she said she had given him even a higher proof of her Intention to marry him. Then I told her that she could not afford not to marry him." "And that same rule would apply to a mart under the same circumstances?" "Well, that Is a question of casuistry or sociology I would not care to answer. If you ask me whether I would advise a young woman who had relations with a man to marry him I would say yes, but with a man it would be different, for the knowledge of it by the public would destroy the woman and would only injure the man." "Would not hurt the- man?" "Oh, it would not injure him so much as the woman. Society looks upon these things differently. If a young man should come to me under certain circumstances I would advise him to marry a woman; under other circumstances I would say to him better death or hell. I am not talking of the Justice of " "Oh. no." interrupted Mr. Wilson with a contemptuous air. "I was not asking you about justice." "Are you a member of the Christian Endeavor Society?" "No, sir." replied the Colonel. "Did you take the Christian Endeavor pledge?" "Never. To be candid, I will say that I was twice invited to deliver an address at the annual meetings in New York and Montreal on the possibilities of the present age. I wanted very much to deliver them, but was prevented." DID THE REPORTER LIE? By further questioning. Mr. Wilson elicited the information that the Colonel, last June had delivered a speech to a woman's society in Nashville and been presented with a basket of flowers. He denied that he had said that hi had no wife to present them to, In his response, and was anxious to explain what he had said, but Mr.- Wilson would not permit it. "Are vou a member of the Masonic fraternity?" "I am." "You knew that Miss Pollard's father was a Mason?" "I did not. I knew that he was an Odd Fellow." "Are there any obligations to the widow or daughters of members growing out of memtership in those organizations?" Colonel Thompson objected to this question, and the objection was sustained. "Vou are a wide reader?" "Without vanity, I think I may say yes." "You are familiar with the history of Louis NIII and XIV, Henry VIII and George IV?" "In a general way, I am as well acquainted with them as most men of our profession." He had read Thackeray and Dickens, so Mr. Wilson found on cross-examination; was not so well acquainted with Addison as he wished ho had been, because bread winning prevented; had read all of Fielding and Smollet. but not Zola and Dumas, because th? war broke in on his French; considered George Eliot the greatest literary woman, with the exception, perhaps, of Mrs. Browning; was not custodian of th mj-.lls, but had never heard that George Eliot's works werj excluded from the mails. "I assume." explained Mr. Wilson, "that when Mr. llutterworth asked you about George Eliot he had some object in view. I want to know what it was." "Well, the plaintiff said." continued Col. Breckinridge, "that sh? considered the life of George Eliot with Mr. Lewes a protest against mawkish sentimentality concerning what were often considered improper relations, and raid she had rather live as Georg? Eliot dl.l than to sew on buttons, churn butter and live the life of a woman in somewhat straitened circumstances on a Kentucky farm."

"And when did the piaintm nrst nroaen the subject of the llf? of George Eliot?" "I remember that distinctly. It was on the first day of Augifst, ISM. She said that George Eliot was tne authoress after whom she intended to pattern in speaking of h;r aspirations." "You mentioned George Eliot to place the plaintiff in the same category with her and to compare yur relation with her to those of Lewes with George E!i t?" "Oh. no. My relations with the plaintiff were much more improper with her than thos- of Eliot and Lewes." This the Colonel said verv coolly. "Mr. Butterworth was very careful to ask the plaintiff, whether sh ha 1 read Byron. New. have you rrad Byron?" "If there Is anything hv Byron's pen that I have n t honestly endeavored to read I don't recall it." "Childe Harold. Don Juan?" "Yes. but I dun't pronounce it in that way." (Laughter.) "Ik yo i know of any reason why ladles should not read Byron?" "Oh. I supiose th;re is a great deal of Byron the purest girl could read,' Col. Phil Thompson objected to this line of examination, and after the same train had been followed concerning Bums, ob

jected again, and Judge Bradley sail it was Immaterial. In the course of the examination Colonel Breckinridere said: "From what I knew of the plaintiff and cf Burns, I don't think it would hurt the plaintiff to read Bums." Colonel Breckinridga again declared, referring to hl3 father: "I cannot overestimate the advantages I had when a young man by constant contact with one of the greatest minds I ever knew." THAT FIRST RIDE. After Colonel Breckinridge had admitted that he was in good health on the night of his iirst ride with Miss Pollard, and had no throat trouble, nor chill (as Mr. Wilson Jocosely asked), he was asked whether It was not a rather unsual proceeding to select a closed carriage for a drive on a hot summer evening, to which the Colonel replied: "Oh, no; I don't think it was," and the audience laughed. Of the conversation or the ride he could only remember that Miss Pollard did most of the talking. "You were not inclinsd to talk?" Mr. Wilson commented. "Oh, that depends on the company I am in," replied the Colonel. Continuing, he described how Miss Pollard had talked of her aspirations to b3 an authoress and how he had encouraged her, telling her that other women had been authors, but that it was a matter of work, like any other vocation. Here Mr. Wilson plied several questions that brought out the Incidents of the ride. The Colonel again tried to give the impression that Miss Pollard have bten a willing victim of his wil?s. "Did you give her any friendly advice on that occasion?" Mr. Wilson asked. "I did not." the Colonel said. "You were a man of forty-seven and she was a girl of seventeen to twentyone?" "That was all true and much more. No man in America had less excuse for such .action than I, with the domestic surroundings I then had. I have attempted to make no excuse for it; it Just happened so." "And the fact that she was a young girl in school makes It all the worse?" "You cannot frame words too strong to characterize it. I have not attempted to Justify it or even defend it, and the hell I have suffered since then I have deserved." "Then I undarstand you to say that the enormity of the act cannot be overestimated?" "There is but one punishment which I have not deserved, and that is to marry the woman who was concerned with me in the act." "Now, you went there as her attorney?" asked Judge Wilson, after going over the giving of the ten-dollar bill to Miss Pollard. "Oh, no, there was no thought of my going in the capacity of attorney. There is the letter, it speaks for itself. I expected no fee. I supposed she wanted to 'talk to me about some little childish trouble which she had gotten Into, and which she greatly exaggerated when she said it was worse than a divorce suit." "You had never seen her but once before and you came at her request?" "The letter speaks for itself."' THE LEXINGTON INCIDENT. Whn they met on the train to Lexington the next day Colonel Breckinridge said he had not known that Miss Pollard was to be on the train, and supposed that she could not know he was there. While this was being related Miss Pollard and Mrs. Ellis rose and threaded their way from the court room. Describing the interview on the train, the Colonel said: "I suggested to her that If she stayed over in Lexington would not she meet me, and asked If there was any place she could go. She said she could go to Sarah Guess's house, and with some surprise I asked: 'What do you know about Sarah Guess?" She said that Mr. Rhodes had once tried to get her to go there with him, and she had gone as far as the gate, but refused to go in." "Nothing had been said about your meeting the night before?" "Nothing had been really said, only when we met there was some sort of indefinite look, something, more than a formal recognition." "You knew of places in Lexington where people could go?" "I knew of no particular place where I could take this person." "How many places did you know of?" "Do you mean In the sense of having been there?" returned the Colonel. "No; that you know of." "Lexington was a place of twenty thousand Inhabitants. There were such places. But I would not have put such a girl as I supposed the plaintiff to be In the power of such a woman as I supposed Sarah Guess to be." Miss Pollard had known the way to the house, the Colonel continued, and then, in response to questions as to his going home to dinner and returning to the house. he responded continuously, "I did, I did," WiXh bowed head. "The next morning did you go to church?" Mr. Wilson persisted. "No." To Sunday school?" "No." "To Bible class?" "I was not a member of any Bible class." responded the Colonel, lifting his head and tossing back his silvery' marie. After going over again the visit to the house of Sarah Guess. Sunday night, when he was uncertain whether he would find the plaintiff there, and his payment of money to her at the close of the evening before his departure, the conversation with Rhodes on election day, Monday, was touched upon, and he declared that he had not considered that he was acting in the capacity of attorney in that talk. ANOTHER MEETIKG PLACE. Afterward the lawyer asked If Mr. Breckinridge had taken Miss Pollard to the house of Mrs. Rose, in Cincinnati, when they went there. He replied: "I want to be candid, and I will say frankly that I did not take her, in the sense of going on the same train, but we had made the arrangements to go in Lexington." This was In October. The Colonel had known Mrs. Rose in Louisville, when she kept a cigar store, but not "in an improper way," and under circumstances involving another person in his capacity as attorney. "I had met her on the street, we had shaken hands, and she knew that I knew certain things about her which I had obtained professionally, and she gave me her card." "When was that?" Mr. Wilson inquired. "About eighteen months before." "And you kept her card all that time?" "No; I knew her name and looked it up in the directory." "How Ions were you there that day?" "Perhaps half an hour, perhaps an hour." "Was that the only time you two were there?" "Guess not." "How many times?" "Perhaps four or six times during the two years." Later, in speaking of the visits to Sarah Guess's house, he said: "Every arrangement, as I remember it, for us to meet was accidentally made. When we went to Sarah Guess's there was never any agreement to meet there at any future time, but we would meet on the street, and from these accidental meetings would come arrangements to visit Sarah Guess." "From whom would the solicitations to meet there come?" Mr. Wilson asked. "From you or the plaintiff?" "There were no solicitations. We would meet, walk along the street together, and the matter would be arranged." "Did you have a sister in Lexington by the name of Louise?" asked Mr. Wilson. Mr. Breckinridge had declared that he had not corresponded with Miss Pollard In 1S&6. "I never had a sister by the name of Louise." was the reply. "Do you know a woman in Washington by the name of Louise Lowell?" Colonel Breckinridge looked puzzled and declared that he knew no such person. A MYSTERIOUS TYPEWRITER. Then, to Mr. Wilson's inquiry whether he remembered a typewriter whose machine was In the corridor of the Capitol between the rooms of the House committee on' postoffice and the committee on printing, he said that there had always been a typewriter and stenographer there, but he could not remember her name. If she was produced he might recognize her. "You have said you wrote no letters to her in 1SSS," continued Mr. Wilson. "Now, didn't you take to that lady In February, lG, a manuscript letter beginning 'My dear sitter Louise' and ask her to render "it into typewriting?" "I decline to answer that unless you show me the paper you are asking the question from." The Colonel was for the first time getting somewhat excited. It will be remembered that he had denied the statement of Miss Pollard that he had addressed letters to her under the name of Louise Wilson. His

attorneys. Major Butterwortn and colonel Thompson, backed him In his refusal, but Judge Bradley decided that the question was a fair one. "Since I have no recollection of a woman named Luie Lowell I cannot rememler having snt any letter to her," was the r ply. "Of oourse. I have a very large correspondence. I have a sister-in-law named Louise, the wife of General Breckinridge, but since she is called Lou In the family I do not think I could have written her in that way." The sparring became warm. "Let me see the letter," persisted Col. Breckinridge. "That will come out in due time," remarked Mr. Wilson, coolly. "Now. to refresh your memory, did you

not in that communication refer to the disparity of ages between yourself and your dear sister Ixnilse?" More protests that the letter should be produced, to which Mr. Wilson said: "For the comfort of yourself and your attorneys I will say that the manuscript was returned to you." k "Well, now you need not make such statement, for I don't care anythlnr about It either way," Interposed Colonel Breckinridge, visibly affected. "And to further refresh your memory." continued Mr. Wilson, "did not you say how anxious you were to get back and meet your dear sister once more?" COULD NOT REMEMBER IT. "I have not the faintest recollection of any such letter and I don't care to discuss It." responded Vie defendant. If you will bring the Lowell woman here, If there is such a person, and let me see whether I have ever known her, or whether her testimony is a fabrication like that of Sarah Guess, I can tell you." "That will be something for the Jury to pass upon," remarked Judge Wilson, and then asked him if he had not, after two or three months of this correspondence, cautioned his dear sister Ioulse not to leave the letters around, as curlousi persons might search bureau drawers. "I never, under any circumstances. wrote any such letter," replied the Colonel, and then he tapped the witness box sharply as he asserted: "If any such letter is in existence It Is a forgery." More arguments from Messrs. Butterworth and Shelby against the right of Judge Wilson to catechise witness line upon line regarding the substance of a letter not in evidence, to which Mr. Wilson replied that since the defendant had denied having ever written to Miss Pollard he had a rlsrht to test his memory on that point, and added: "I will say frankly that we have not the manuscript here, and I don't mind telling the court upon what evidence I base these questions." "Now, my brother Wilson is getting into argument as he always does," said Mr. Butterworth. "Well, if you object, I will drop It," said Mr. Wilson. "Now. that is not a fair way of putting it. I insist," continued Mr. Butterworth, "to say that I object." "I will pass It until to-morrow morning." said Judge Wilson, turning from the point, "and I will ask you whether that lady addressed envelopes in the year 18S6?" "I can only say if you bring the lady her I can tell you whether she ever did any work for me. Several women, or females, have done typewriting in Washington, but I don't remember this particular one." "I will ask you whether you did not bring to her in the spring of 1S86 a package of a dozen envelopes, somewhat yellowed by agf and of different dates, and have her address them to Miss Madeline Pollard, No. 7 Upper street, Lexington, Ky." Colonel Breckinridge was very strenuous in his denial. "I never under any circumstances had any such envelopes addressed, and I do not care who the woman is who says so," he asserted positively. The court here nodded for an adjournment, and the usual rush from the room was about to begin when Judge ' Bradley rapped for order, and Mr. Henry B. Davis, a well known member of the bar, arose. "It Is my painful duty," he began, and all sorts of things were thought of by the crowd before he could announce the sudden death of a member of the bar, Mr. Charles Matthews. According to cUstom, the Judge spoke of the character of the dead man, and court adjourned out of respect for his memory. FIREMAN DUVALL ROBBED.

He Displays a Roll at Brighton Beach and Is Knocked Down. Joseph Duvall, residing at No. 331 South Alabama street, and a fireman employed at No. 3 engine house on East South street, was knocked down and robbed of $135 at Brighton Beach last night about 10 o'clock. Duvall received his three months' pay yesterday, amounting to about $200. He drank freely all day. About 9 o'clock he and John Brennan drove out to Brighton Beach in a buggy. The two entered the saloon and ordered several drinks. There were several strange men in the saloon, who were evidently effected by the great roll of money which Duvall nourished. Duvall stepped out on the porch nearest the canal, when he was struck a powerful blow on the right temple by an unseen foe. Duvall sank to the floor unconscious, while the robber disappeared. Duvall gained consciousness in a few moments, got Into the buggy without his companion and drove to the police station. Duvall stated that he is positive that his fall was heard by the men in the saloon, as the door was partly open, but he is equally confident that no one attempted to discover the cause of the noise. He suspects a party who was thought at the time to be a close friend. AMUSEMENTS. Ilowc-Lavin Concert. The sale of seats for the concert at TomUnson Hall to-night to be given by the Howe-Lavin company, began again yesterday at the Big Four office with great activity. Five hundred were taken in the balcony and several hundred on the lower floor. The size of the hall, however, Is such that there are yet many good seats. The rush for general admission tickets will, it Is thought, be very large. The concert will be on? of the last musical treats of the year. Mr. Lavin has become one of the first tenors of the land. Mary How? has the same wonderful top notes that have so often electrified her admirers in this city. Her lower and medium notes have been developed and her style has acquired a breadth that adds vastly to her vocal gifts, making her a concert singer of rare skill and power. There Is a ilut?-like purity in her voice that gives it a thrilling charm. In the duet numbers between Mary Howe and her husband their voices blend most happily, and they seldom are allowed to escape a repetition of the number. The other members of the company are artists of very superior ability. Campannri has earned his position honestly, and he nsver fails to arouse enthusiasm in his audience. Miss Von Stosch gives a most charming Interpretation in the numbers played. Her violin Is made to open the flood gates of rare musical resources. Mr. Luckston? was heard in several piano solos at the Nordlca engagement last fall, and won a place In the good will of Indianapolis audiences. The concert is Riven for the benefit of the Indianapolis Art Association. rnrk-"Little iiKgct. Herbert Cawthorn, who has long been a strong favorite at the Park Theater, having played several engagements there, seems to have lost none of his old-time popularity with the patrons of that house, the two performances of "Little Xugget" yesterday afternoon and last night drawing large audiences. Cawthorn i3 one of the best of the eccentric Irish comedians, and as Barney O' Brady, the would-be school teacher, employs methods that are both unique and original; and his comedy is genuinely funny. "Little Nugg?t," although the performance last night was the seventyfourth time that It has been played at the Park, is still heartily received, ami evidently has a strong hold on those who enjoy comedies of its kind. It is a bright musical skit with much In It to please an audience, and the performance goes with a dash that Is commendable. The songs and different specialties are nearly all new this season, and are for the most part very good. The company is one of the best that has ever presented the piece here, and is made up of people that are edmlrably suited to their different characters. Miss liar Eldrldge as "Little Nugget" is all that one could wish in the part. She is an attractive little woman, sings well, dance3 gracefully and acts admirably.

FllED HEIEil'S EXPOSE He Will Make It, He Says, Unless He Gets a Tostollice Job To-Day. Democratic Rottenness in the Last Campaign He Has a Stormy Interview . with Chairman Taggart. An eruption of volcanic proportions Is brewing .in the ranks of the local Democracy. The slight speck of party discontent that began to show on the horizon of the local Democracy a few weeks ago appears to have had a. growth phenomenal, and within the next forty-eight hours a political scandal that will carry with it the elements of a Kansas cyclone Is promised by local malcontents. Thomas Taggart, it appears, is responsible for the boillngpot of wrath, and unless something happens to avert the promised storm, the former friends of the politician avow that they will turn a trick of prodigious grandeur in the way of exposure. The secret of all this party dissatisfaction lies in the fact that the postofflce appointments made by Albert Sahm and directed by Thomas Taggart do not meet the approval of some of the brethren. The Cleveland Club has received a personal effront and is sulking. To thl3 organization the appointment of Thomas Colbert Is particularly odious. Not because the gentleman has shown indications of party infidelity, but simply from the fact that the club set its heart on the appointment of Fred Heler to the office of night superintendent of the malls. Heler is well known as a ward committeeman, and as a person not lacking in all those essentials necessary to the ideal Democrat. Mr. Heier owns a saloon at Xo. IS South New Jersey street, where his friends of the Cleveland Club have been wont to gather to denounce the dictator. It is needless to say that the name of Taggart was a feature of these seances. John A. Champion, it appears, is a valiant squire to Heier, and this gentleman was in high dudgeon last night. He boldly charges with other friends of the discomfited applicant for postofflce honors, that Heler was virtually promised the place. His name was indorsed by the Cleveland Club and forwarded to Washington, there to depend upon the tender mercies of Congressman Cynum and Senator Turpie. The name of Heier dispatched to Washington, his friends claim that they called upon Mr. Taggart and that the gentleman with his blandest smile offered his support. He would be delighted to witness the Installment of Mr. Heier into the office of night superintendent and it is claimed that he then and there declared his loyalty to the candidate. The days wore on and the Cleveland Club awaited the effort of Mr. Taggart with a serenity and faith unbroken, really beautiful to behold. Then it became rumored about that the treasurer of the Cleveland Club hadn't a ghost of a show for the place and his friends made another call on the Democratic chairman. This interview was not as ieaceful as a spring morning but Mr. Taggart temporarily adjusted the matter by declaring tnat he had no more influence with Mr. Sahm than any other man. A TIP FROM WASHINGTON'. The matter was allowed to rest for a few days and, in fact, was in a fair way to blow over when a recently appointed Democrat returned from Washington. This man met some of the friends of Mr. Heler Sunday morning and was Indiscreet enough to touch upon a subject near to the heart of his audience. The question was pressed and the Washington arrivel frankly revealed the fact that Thomas Taggart controlled the appointments of the Indianapolis postofflce. This, the Washington man said, was tipped off to him in Washington by those who knew. Quite naturally this statement aroused a storm in the ranks of the Cleveland Club and every available bottle containing wrath was uncorked. The friends of Heler aver that they went to tha postofflce early Sunday morning with the intention of having it out with the postmaster. They were refused admission, they say, and were told that they had no right upon the grounds of the government. An audience could not be had with the postmaster, and the habitation of Mr. Taggart was the next objective ioint. That gentleman was found last night at the Grand Hotel by Messrs. Heier and Champion. The visitors invaded tne privacy of Taggart, ami it is said that the discussion which followed was violent. It is claimed that Heier indulged in some harsh language that made Taggart squirm uneasily, and that the defeated candidate threatened that unless something: was done immediately there would be a grand exposure- of Democratic plans. Mr. Taggart Is credited with dismissing his guests with the remark that "honors are even." HLIEIt'S PROMISED EXPOSE. Heler had a friend tell a Journal, reporter last night that Heier's friends proposed calling on Mr. Sahm to-day, and that he must award their man an office worth not less than $1,500. They avow that unless this Is dons the city of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana will rock with a sensation straight rom the ranks of the Democracy. It is claimed that the statement of Postmaster Sahm regarding the appointment of Colbert and civil service is a mere blu.ff, and was only mad? to soothe, the feelings of the members of the Cleveland Club. The intimate Iriends of Fred Heier aver that he was ktpt out of the place lecaus he once owned a gambling house. They cannot understand why this fact should disqualify him from holding a job under the present regime. While it I admitted that the young man has at diver3 tims toyed gently with tne tiger, his friends proudly assert that this Is not his only accomplishment, and that he can till the bill as a Democratic officeholder. It Is declared that the meeting this afternoon with the postmaster will seal the fate of the Democratic party in the State. A Preacher nml tlie Monnment. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Rev. W. II. Mygrant, of Hecksville, O.. for defacing the soldiers' monument. About 4 o'clock Mr. Mygrant, whom the custodian describes as a large man with red whiskers, accompanied by two ladies and a man went to the top of the shaft, and a short time after the party cams down the words, "Rev. W. 11. Mygrant, Hecksville, O.," were found on one of the stones. Free Kindergarten Sermons. The ministers of the city are asked to preach a sermon relative to the work of the Free Kindergarten In this city on the 22d of this month. April 21 Is the Froebel anniversary. Some special features are to be arranged for that day in the kindergartens, and the executive board hop-s that the ministers will be willing to grant their request. Xoon IlcNt Social Meeting-.
