phes to mothers, sisters, sweethearts and wives, and then the occurrences In that first carriage ri'le were rehearsed. The Instinct of a virtuous woman would have led her to say: "Get out, you leper." Mr. Lutterworth thouted. rushing down the aisle toward his client, fiercely. But no; she had arranged to meet him the next day. He pounded one of the jurors on the knee, as he reproduced, with mixed metaphor, the still, small voice, crying loudly In the name of her mother to shrink back from this man. The next day the Colonel had taken her to a questionable resort. "Think of It," the lawyer shouted. "I have thought of It," Judge Wilson remarked to him. "BEX" GROWS EXCITED. Then Mr. Butterworth slapped three Jurors on the knee in succession as he rehearsed Miss Pollard's descripti K of the Colonel's flattery. "You leper," he shouted to the Colonel, "why did not the fly away and leave your He told how Miss Pollard, after resisting the Colonel In the carriage and the Cincinnati house, had felt ready to tackle him a&aln at Sarah Guess's, to travel ninety miles with him to resist him. She did not want to marry him. She knew of hl3 wife and children. She knew that It would ruin her and might ruin him and his daughters. Mr. Butterworth said that he was willing to give Miss Pollard credit for being a great genius In certain lines, but the hardest part of her story to believe was that part of it which stated that in that half hour, alone in the hovel of Sarah Guess, while the defendant had gone home to his dinner, she had thought over the whole matter, had given up life, honor, friends and future, and had decided to enter into Colonel Breckinridge's life. And Mr. Wilson would tell that to the Jury as though he believed it. The speaker told some funny stories about his boyish escapades, and went on to compare the plaintiff to Delilah, -who had got her hand in the hair of a Sampson, and then had been willing to pull down the temple over herself to accomplish his ruin. Further on he declared that there was no memento of all those years of alleged affection, save that little willow basket so lately handled by the fingers of his dead wife, brought into the case for no other purpose than to make his fault seem more abhorrent. W. C. P. Breckinridge had "never given to his mistress the possessions of his wife before her grave clothes crumbled. "I can forgive you for anything else," said the lawyer to the Jury, "but that he talked to hi3 mistress of his dead wife." Everybody In Washington knew what a happy home he had in spite of those faults, which his family knew. Such were the charges (meaning the reference to Colonel Breckinridge's dead wife) brought by this woman, who had forgotten her own children after they had been laid in her arms. The only way to make a woman forget her children was to take them away from her. After she had once clasped them In her arms she would follow them through the gates of hell. Mr. Butterworth asked the court for an adjournment shortly before 4 o'clock, as he was greatly exhausted. Judge Bradley acceded to the request, and, remarking that he had not a large crowd outside the door, suggested that Colonel Breckinridge might go out before the spectators, which the Colonel seemed glad to do.

Coxey' Army Held lp and Forced to Pny Toll. UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 1L One lone woman met Coxey 3 army in combat while It was marching into this city and Ignomlnlously defeated it The woman's name Is Mrs. Annie Clabaugh and she is toolkeeper at the toll gate two miles east of Brownsville. Mrs. Clabaugh, with no more deadly weapon than a woolen fascinator, held up Coxey's army on the high road and forced it to pay toll. Carl Browne delivered a long harangue to which the little woman listened with becoming patience. At its close she said: "I don't know anything about reincarnation at all; I want you to pay your toll." This order appeared somewhat superfluous because the army was comfortably roosting on the wayside fences. "Madam." continued Browne, "you no doubt believe you are doing your duty, but I want to tell you that I shall order the commonweal to camp right here until you decide to let us pass." "You can do all the camping you want to." replied Mrs. Clabaugh cheerfully, "but you won't pass this gate until you have paid toll." The army continued to roost, and the horses cropped Krass at the roadside. In ten mlnutts Coxey got tired of sitting in solitary gr.indeur in the middle of the turnPike. He :aMed Carl Browne and the two drova back To town to consult a lawyer. After a little they returned. "I understand." said Browne as Airs. Clabaujfh aain came for the toll, "that funerals and church gatherings pass free. That lets us out. This is a funeral procession; It is the funeral of all the existing parties and the birth of a new one." "I guess this isn't a funeral according to my notions," replied Mrs. Clabaugh quietly. "Then we go through as a church," argued Browne. "This is the greatest church on earth the church cf the commonweal cf Christ." "It isn't what I call a church procession." said the tollkeeper. "Well. I'll pay this toll then." said Coxey In a rage, "but I pay It under protest, and reserve the right to try this case In the f?,urt. Do you want to take the responsibility 7 "One dollar eighty-seven cents." said Mrs. Clabaugh resolutely. Coxey paid the monev iri nickels and pennies, took a receipt and the army marched on. The departure of the commonweal for the mountain trip was made at noon to-dav. rhe line was well formed, and a noticeable feature was the fact that seven of the men who deserted yesterday rejoined the columns. The inclemency of the weather deterred many from viewing the departure. The stop to-night was near Chalk Hill, eight miles distant. Eneortnl Uncle ty Cnvnlry. OGDEN, U.

The court to-day decided that the Governor could use force in removing the army out of the Territory. The decision was a complete vindication of the position taken bv" the territorial officials, and Marshal Brigham ar.d his deputies were Instructed to enforce the order of the court. The army was marched east at 4:30 p. m. under escort of cavalry. The ew England Army. BOSTON'. April 11.
