Aus. 12. In the supreme court of the District of Columbia today suit was filed for $50,000 for breach of promise against Representative Willlam C. P. Breckinridge of Kentucky by Madeline Z. Tollard. The plaintiff charges that In April, 1SS4, when she was seventeen years old and a student at Wesleyan female seminary at Cincinnati, she was met on the train traveling from school to Frankfort, Ky., where she had been called on account of the grave illness of her sister, by W. C. P. Breckinridge, who made her ac Vf. C. P. Brtck quaintance on the ilea of his knowing her family. She was flattered by his attentions, knowing- who he was and regarding him as a very prominent man. On the third day of August. 1SS4, he came to see her at the seminary and pot permission of the president for her to dine with him, and fcy wiles and artifices and rrotostations of affection subsequently took advantage of her youth and inexperience. Phe avers that he got her completely under his control. The allegations fil-j go with great length into the relations which existed between the plaintiff and Mr. Breckinridge as she charges until recently. The birth of the two children (who died) and the premature birth of a third child are alleged as a result of this Intimacy. She further alleges that after the death of the children she came to Washington, and that after the death of his wife she was again in a delicate situation and with protestations of love and affection he again Induced her to continue their relations and promised to marry her as soon as it would be proper for him to do so in a uflicient time after the death of his wife. It is alleged that he solemnly promised that there should be a secret marriage on the 21st of May, 1S92, and that the marriage should take place in the city of New York, but after that, on the plea of her condition, the time appointed for the marriage was p'etponed until the following December or January. From time to time, she alleges, the date for the marriage was postponed until, on the lth day of July, she avers Mr. lirecklnridge wrongfully and injuriously married another woman, Mrs. Louisa Wing, whj was then a resident of the city of St. Louis. The plaintiff in the case was for some time an employe in one of the departments here, but shortly after the death of Gen. Sherman was dismissed. It was aid, for the making of a derogatory remark respecting the dead general. The announcement of her engagement to Mr. Breckinridge and the subsequent breaking off of that engagement and Mr. Breckinridge's marriage created a sensation in the capital. Col. Breckinridge was absent all day In Philadelphia witnessing the ceremonies attending the launching of the cruiser Minneapolis. He accompanied the party of distinguished persons which went from Washington and which Included Vice-President Stevenson, Secretary Herbert and a number of prominent senators, representatives and naval officers, lie seemed In cheerful spirits throughout the trip and spent most of the homeward journey in conversing with Secretary Herbert. When the train arrived In the Pennsylvania station in this city this evening Col. Breckinridge and his wife walked with their fellow-travelers to the carriage entrance, where they entered a vehicle and were driven to the Cochran hotel, where they are stopping. None of the party on the train, not even Col. Breckinridge, knew that the suit had been entered where the train arrived In Washington, but at the hotel a friend met the Kentucky congressman and told him of It. Col. Breckinridge did not seem to be perturbed, and after a hasty toilet he and Mrs. Breckinridge went Into the public dining-room and had dinner. On leaving the dining-room they were met by a very nervous attache of the marshal's office, who served the papers en the defendant. Col. Breckinridge showed the papers to his wife as they were entering the elevator and neither appeared disturbed. A few minutes lafr Col. Breckinridge taw an Associated Press reporter in his room. He betrayed no signs of nervousness and was as courtly in his de meanor as ever. In response to a quest for a statement In reply to charges made by Mirs Pollard, Breckinridge said: "I have been In the city only a rethe Mr. few minutes and have not had time to ex amine the papers In this case. I can only say at this time, before I have had a chance to know the extent of the allegations made, that I hope my friends will believe that these charges are the result of vlndlctiveness, vexation and perhaps, of Intention to blackmail, and I ask that they suspend Judgment until a full hearing shall have shown all that Is In them. I do not care to say anything further until I have had an opportunity to consult with attorneys and thoroughly xamln the allegations." BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 14. The Breckinridge breach of promise case was talked about today among Mr. Breckenrldge's colleagues more than any other topic. It developed that Mr. EreckinriJge Is now, and has been ever since he arrived In Washington, under police protection. It Is said that ha Lad reason to believe

that either Miss Pollard herself or her brother designed to shoot him. and that before coming to Washington he communicated with the police department ; asking them to give him protection. De- ! tectives Weeden and Boardman were de

tailed to protect him and they have been at the capitel whenever he has been there and have also watched over him on the street. It is understood that detectives have been shadowing Miss Pollard also In order to give warning or perhaps arrest her if she, came to the capitol or went elsewhere where it would be apparent that ehe was trying to put herself in Mr. Breckinridge's way. It has been feared for some time that the case would be one of homicide instead of breach of promise', and It Is said to be a. relief to Mr. Breckinridge to have It go into the courts rather than to be constantly in fear of the matter being settled mora promptly outside of the law. Many society people who have kept Informed on the developments of the affair with Miss Follard are Quite sure that Mr. Breckinridge will be required by the courts to pay a round sum to that young lady in the way of damages. Miss Pollard's attorneys are known to have in their possession letters written to her by the congressman which show clearly that he promised to marry her. It is said that the plans for their proposed marriage last May are set forth in his handwriting. The attorneys have also heard from the Hps of several prominent society ladies the facts which they are ready to testify to when the case comes up. At least three of these ladies will swear in court that Mr. Breckinridge told them he was engaged to marry Miss Pollard. The attorneys, therefore, view with equanimity the effort to break down the young woman's allegations. It is also declared that most of the members of the Kentucky colony uphold Miss Pollard. They say that the charge that she is an adventuress, trying to blackmail, is fully disproven. In the first place she comes of a good farmland is possessed of fully as much wealth as Congressman Breckinridge is. In the second place she was introduced in Washington society by the distinguished member and at times aided his lirst wife in receiving. She was treated by him for years as a proteire and he was everywhere looked upon a.s her guardian. There has been some talk of compromise in the case, but it cannot be traced to any reliable source. The only reason for the rumor appears to be that it is thought the defendant may be unwilling to let the case go on trial. However it is believed that the defense will have some important allegations to make and that the statements in the plaintiff's case are not all of the story. SEVENTEEV KILLED By ft Wreck on a Welsh Railroad Train. LONDON, Aug. 12. A train on the Taff Vale railway, running to Cardiff from Font-y-Prlid, ran off the track this evening while going rapidly around a curve and rolled over a steep embankment.

SILLIVAVS XARHOW ESCAPE. The Big Bully's Lcrs Cnrry Him Avry From a Ilullet. NEW YORK. Aug. 14. It transpiros that John L. Sullivan, ex-champlon pugilist of the world, had a narrow escape from death at the hands of a fellow sport the other evening in the bar loom of the Vanderbllt hotel at Lexington-ave. and Forty-second-st. The particulars have been guarded. Sullivan entered the bar room at about 8 o'clock in the evening. He had been drinking heavily and was in an ugly mood. He was accompanied by two friends. Sullivan lurched Into the bar room and facing the counter ordered wine for every one in the place. At the further end of the bar was a man by the name of McCluskey, with whom Sullivan had some words in Boston three years ago. The pugilist did not see his old enemy when he entered the room. It was only when he saw that McCluskey refused to drink that Sullivan learned his identity. He went down the bar to induce the man he believed was a stranger to take a glass of wine. When Sullivan got within six feet of the man he saw who it was and then b.gan a tirade of abuse. He accused McCluskey of having slandered him behind his back. McCluskey luietly denied that he had ever spoken disparagingly of the pugilist, and what was more he had not even taken the trouble to give him a second thought since the Boston trouble. Sullivan glared at his enemy a moment and then bringing his mighty fist down on the mahogany shouted in a voice of anger that could be heard almost a block away: "You are a liar, McCluskey, and I can prove it. Do you hear what I say, you cur? You have been talking about me behind my back, and I say that you are a liar." McCluskey was crimson with his anger by this time. He brovght down his fist on the bar In turn, and, turning to Sullivan, said: "I have told you that I have never spoken behind your back, and when you say I have you lie, ajid you know It." The significance of the return of the compliment did not dawn on Sullivan for a few seconds. Then he clinched his right hand and shot it forth. It struck McCluskey on the left side of the neck and knocked him down, but did not stun him. The prostrate man's hand went to his hip pocket in a twinkling. As soon as Sullivan saw the movement he turned to run for the door, but a shot sped after him before he reached It. Before a second shot could be fired the pugilist's friends rushed In and wrested the weapon from McCluskey. THE RIOTS ARE EXTENDING. FIFTY' LIVES KXOWX TO HAVE REE. LOST AT BO 31 BAY".

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 13. Two fires, presumably the work of incendiaric, destroyed over $1,000,000 worth of property this afternoon. The first fire broke out in a stable in the rear of the Cedar lake Ice company's office, and .soon spread to the ica house proper. From there, fanned by a quick breeze, it spread to Clark's box factory and then destroyed the boiler works of Lintz, Connell & Co., inducing a $27.000 rivellng machine, the only one west of Chicago. Lenhart's union wagon works were totally comsumed. Also a quantity of lumber belonging to various firms. The Cedar lake ice eompany loses 5,000; Clark's box company, $30,000; Lintz, Connell & Co., 560,000; Union wagon works, $15,000. On this there is a total insurance of about one-half. While this fire was at its height an alarm was turned in from the lumber district at the other end of the Island. Boom island, as the place Is called, was a mass cf wood and lumber piles belonging to Nelson, Tenny & Co., and Bachus & Co. Thi3 was blazing fiercely and fanned by a brisk wind, the flames soon spanned the narrow stretch ot water and began eating their way among the big saw mills and residences in the vicinity of the river bank. One after another, the planing mills of the Wilcox company., the ChatterU n mill, the Backus mill, the Hoe mill, Smith & Corrlgan and Nelson, Tenny & Co., felt he blaze of the fire and were either destrojed or badly damaged. The flames left a space of blackness through Mar-shall-st., and were practically stopped by the big brick structure of the Minneapolis brewing connvny, although its loss Is put at $110.000. All along Marshall-st., and through that entire section were small frame houses occupied by laboring and saw mill men, and they went like tinder when the flames first struck them, but the residents had ample time to move their belongings. In all, 112 houses were destroyed. Although a general alarm was turned in the entire city department proved inadequate to the occasion and aid was asked from St. Paul. That city promptly responded and sent over two steamers and a hose cart, which did excellent service. The fire on Boom island was burning fiercely at a late hour tonight, and the only hope seems to lie in letting it burn itself out. For a while It looked as though the entire port of Northeast Minneapolis would be desroyed, but by the concentration of the department the further progress of the flames was checked. Several accidents were caused by spectators attempting to run on the logs and falling in. Two boys were reported drowned, but the rumor can not be verified. Bertha Streat. residing on Wash-lngton-st., between Tenth and Eleventh, fell out cf a thlrd-sory window while looking at the fire and was instantly killed. The following is a list of the losses, so far as can be ascertained tonight. It Is impossible to give detailed Insurance tonight: Wilcox planing mills, $25,000. Fulton & Libby warehouse, $23,000. Chatterton mill. $23,000. Backus mill, $73,000. Hove mill, $60,000. Smith & Corrigan mill, $10.000. Nelson, Tenny & Co., mill, $80,000. Forty million feet of lumber at $12 per l,0f0. $480.000: 10.000.000 shingles at $2 per 1,000, $20,000; 10.000.000 laths at $2 per 1,000, $20.000; cedar posts, etc., $10,000. Minneapolis brewing company lost $110.000. One hundred and twelve houses at an average of $."00 each, $36,000. Nicollet Island fire. $125,000; bridges, $10,000. Total, $1.057,000. The Northern Facifio bridge and the Flymouth-ave. bridge were likewise rendered useless by the fire. CHICAGO, Aug. 14. A hotel fire, resulting In the death of a number of the guests, occurred this morning. The fire was in the Senate hotel, a three-story structure on Madison-6t., near Fifth-ave. One man Jumped from a window In the top story and was killed. About half a dozen others were suffocated and burned to death. The first body to be recovered was that of Harry Godfrey, the seven-year-old son of J. Godfrey of Little Rock, Atk. The loss on the building and contents is practically total, but as the structure was old and the furnishings cheap, the amount will not exceed a few thousand dollars. A restaurant occupied the ground floor and the Senate hotel the two upper ones. It contained thirty-six rooms and held thirty guests when the fixe broke out, shortly after 6 a. m. The room were separated by flimsy wooden partitions and proved first-class food for fire. The blaze started on the second floor and spread rapidly through the upper rooms. Before the guests could be warned the flames had cut off the escape of a number from the stairways, and they were caught like rats in a trap. J. Gooche is landlord of the Senate and J. Ahren manager. As fast as the dead were taken from the ruins they were taken to the morgue. Four bodies were soon recovered. They were those of Godfrey, a boy, and two men and a woman. The Casualties. In all five people were killed and three others were so badly Injured that they can scarcly recover. At the Cook county and Mercy hospitals others are moaning

with pain In the wards, so badly injured as to be unable to tell their names. The list of killed and injured is: HARRY GODFREY, aced seven. KD WARD SHORT, aged twentv-five. MRS. FANNIE REED, twenty-seven years old. a widow and recently from New York. PHILLIP CRONBERG, aged twertvone of Little Rock, Ark., died at the county hospital in the afternoon.

He stepped into the wash room and while thre h" says he heard a queer rattling note in the office which might have been caused by the falling of a lamp. He continued his ablutions, however, thinking for the moment that the noise was caused by a passing wagon. Soon he caught the odor of smoke.' On opening the wash room door he found the hallway and office full of smoke. He rail the cry of fire and made his escape down the front stairway. By this tlmo tho flames were climbing from the starting point on the econd floor up the stairway to the third floor. Smoke was pouring from the windows and an alarm brought the claHging engines to the spot. As th guests awoke their shrieks were hoard and halfdressed forms began to appear at the windows. The first to escape was Joseph Wilson, who had a room in the rear of the third floor. He was dressing when he detected smoke in the house. He awakened his room-mate, Harry Havana, and together they made a hurried round of the rooms, waking the guests. Wilson then slid down an iron pipe in the alley In the rear. Gavana lingered a few moments and then started down the pipe. He was part of the way down when another man, named Morton, started after him. Morton lost his hold. Gavana was knocked from the pipe and the two fell a distance of fifteen feet. Gavana escaped injury. Morton was picked up unconscious and taken away in an ambulance.

DEATH OF JUDGE TAYLOR, HIS DEMISE HAD BEEX EXPECTED FOR SOME TIME. Jndge Taylor Wns a flood Lnwyer nnd nn Honest, Upright Judge His Opinions "Were Generally Sustained Short Sketch or Ills Life Ol en. John Coburn's Tribute. Napoleon B. Taylor, judge of the Marion superior court, and an old and respected citizen of this city, died at his home, on the corner of Illinois and Eighth-sts., at 2:50 o'clock yesterday morning. JUDGE N. B. TAYLOR. The event was not unexpected as the Judge had been critically ill for about thre months and his death was looked for at almost any time. For three days before death he lay in an unconscious condition and sank by degrees until death, the certain result, came. He passed into eternity as easily as if he were falling asleep. The pulse, which had been very feeble during the period of unconsciousness and which at times seemed to stop, simply died out as a fire to which fuel is not supplied. Th cause of death was a failure of the alimentary organs to properly perform their functions, conjoined with debility following an attack of la grippe two years ago. At his age he lacked the vitality to overcome weaknesses, which. In the prime of life, would have been trifling. At the time of his death five of his six children were at his bedside and were devoted in their care of a loving father during his long illness. Mrs. Minnie Woolen of Dubuque, la., was here until two weeks ago, when there was a decided change for the better in her father's condition and she returned to her home. She arrived in the city yesterday, but was too late to see her father alive. The other children are Edwin Taylor of Evansville, who is general counselor for the Mackey system; Mrs. Agnes Bossier, a widow, who has for years kept her father's home; Mrs. Anna Stewart of Chicago; Harold Taylor, an attorney of this city, and MUs Josephine Taylor. Napoleon B. Taylor was born Oct. 18, 1S20, in Campbell county, Kentucky, and came to Indianapolis a child with his father, the late Robert Taylor, one of the earliest brickmasons of the city. He was an "old seminary boy," leaving th school to study law about 1842 or 1843. For some time, after his admission to the bar, he mixed bricklaying with law to have something to do and make

something to live on. but in 1S49 he formed a partnership with the late John L. ICetcham and after that confined himself to the law. He worked his way up slowly. What he made he held and in a few years h. came to be known over the state ;.s jieouliarly skillful and able in the preparation of cases for the supreme court. That reputation he kept and increased until his d-ath. In 153 Judge Taykr and Gen. John Coburn formed a partnership which lasted for about thr-e years. In 1S72 b" formed a partnei-vhip with his son, Edwin, and Judge Hand, one of tha first judges of the superior rourt. which wa.s maintained until Judge Taylor's election to the superior lench in 1SS2. In 1SG4 he wns nominated for reporter of the superior curt against Gen. Benjamin Harrison und beaten, and he wa3 frequently talked of for the nomination for the supreme bench. He stood among the first lawyers of the state for erudition and sound judgment, and among the first citizens of Indianpoiis for all the qualities i f g-ol citizenship. There are prl.al.!v few men who have been elevated to the bench in this state to whose lot, within n single decade, has fallen the burdensome responsibility of consi Jerina: ami d-eidtng a larger numbr of gravely iin;"Vt.uit causes in litigation, and one has but to nfer to the reoords to learn that li;i!mr his long term of oil ice. there have Pfen few judges in It.di.iua v.ho:-e decisions have been so generally r; firmed by the supreme court of tho stnte .'i. those of Juige Taylor.

Tin great street railway strike, with all its many desperate hardship?, is still fresh in the lnhiJs of Indianapolis ;oople. Judge Taylor had given lh situation much !; and earnest thought. He was troubb j, for he paw unless an imm.-diate and wholesome amelioration, of prevailing conditions could be effected, thv near approach of th worst possible results to the community and so. when, at his resi lence that r.iemoral le midnight meeting, the onerous iue:-ti n of taking th? government of the street railway lines out of the hands of the company wa presented h was prepared for the emergency and arose to the gravity of the hour. He listened intently to the reading of the complaint :nd thoe who wer. present will never forgot his words as he nrve to his feet r.nd with his clinched hand down within the grasp of the other said: "Gentlemen. I will candidly say tryit I have not Rone flown deeply into the Istt as it bears upon this natter, and I certainly do not wish to err. but I do know that somewhere along the line cf this street raiiroad difficulty some one Is guilty of serious wrong-doing which is working serious hardship to the people. I believe the time hns come to call a halt in the interest of the community and I shall appoint the receiver. Who will be the right man for the place?" J. C. Shaffer was named and then soma on" curp.-sted "Tom Stele." "I shall appoint W. T. Fteete. gentlemen," said Judge Taylor with marked decision of tone. "You may go now, and when you have perfected Mr. Steele's bond bring it to me for approval and I will at one? pl-ie him in ustody f the street railroad property. The cars must start this morning' And thus was the street railroad trouble er.ded. Judge Taylor wns ejected superior judse in 12. defeating John L. McMasters. In iw, he defeated Judge Livingston Howland by a majority of nearly 3.f""'rt and a cain in 1V" he defeated Vinson Carter by a majority of over $4. "00.

Tin: c'omi Anns ;oh. Mother ami Daughter I.cnve Their Home nnd the Crop. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Aug. H. Much has been published of the doings of the Conrad brothers ice they successfully resist 1 the White Cappers with 'lch fatal results last Sunday k. It was tell with tircumstaltial dttad how an inquisitive youni; man ventured to the house and was suddenly confronted w ilh the business end of a gun, with one of the dreaded Conrads at the other end, and other stories have have been tol 1 of how the regulators of the tha regulators comforted themselves after their return, defying the White Cappers to drive them from their homes. It now transpires that the Conrads have not been back h .me since they crossed the river after the iirht. Thej, with their mithre and sister have been staying with relatives near Muldrauph ever sinse until the last few d-ys. One of the Conrads wanted to ko back, but, in the language of the correspondent viio deserlx-s an averted lynching. "Wiser counsels, prevailed." The other Conrad thoucht Harrison county was not ns healthy it might be, and taking his advice and that of others, his brother revoke! Ids decision. O r. Friday. aftr e.itinp breakfast at the house of Sam lli'Ks, a farmer near Muldraurrh, the two brothers left ostensibly for Hart county. They were heard of near Celilia nxt "lay, and were making tracks for the county named. The Conrads, in dismissing the affair with Piuire W. .1. Watts of Muldraiigh and others, expressed the opinion that there iout have been a number cf th White Cappers wounded. The number of wounded in battle is always tarcely in exres of the killed, an 1 the Conrad tx-lleve that several were more or less severely hurt and carriei away by their friends, especially as shotcuns were the weapons used. If there ar eny wounded who hav not been reported they arc supiosed to be keeping quiet to avoid Uinc identified as being of the attacking party. The mother and ni.-ter of the Conrad went to their deserted heme yesterday morning. They packed up th.tr household furniture, got their !ive stack together and drove away fmm Harrison county forever, they said. Their crops standing In the Held they pave away to neighbors for the trouble of harvesting them. The women said they were colng to settle In Meade county and that the men wo'tld never return. They gave s.ibstantlaJly the same nccount of the tragedy as has been published. Hundreds of people visited the Conra.1 cabin yesterday. FOIR PEOPLE DROWSED.
