Jiotable." the witness continued, "because of her youth. Her opponents were much older." "Judging her youth from her representations," Interposed CoL Philip ThomrA 6on. "No, from her appearance," declared Mrs. Crown. Judge Bradley took a hand In the tiuestlonlng. eliciting the information that on Friday nights there usually had teen from fifteen to twenty-five callers in the parlors of the schools. Mrs. Louise Lowell was recalled and. over the objections of the defense, permitted to tell the substance of the letter to -"My Iear Sister Louise." There was much difficulty in getting the statement in proper form. ' Mrs. Lowell began: "I thought from the beginning of 'My Dear Sister Louise that " but she ww halted by a storm of objections, beir.g Informed - that her thoughts were not wanted. '- Starting on a tack she said: 'Naturally from the tenor of the letters," to be again waylaid by the protests of the deIns. Finally, when pinned down to telling the substance of the letters she related: "He spoke of the great disparity between their ages, of his great love for her. and, I think, used the expression that he never knew two of the aame family of uch different ages who laved each ether so well. That was th tenor of the whole letter and of other similar onis which followed it.' In one h spoke highly of some manuscript which had been sent him for criticism and told how proud he" was of the pertn to whom the letter was addressed, lie toll how impatient he was to get sway from the duties which kept him from her and described in glowing terms the meeting they would have when he returned. " , Colnrrd Conk Trullflri, Enter a plump colored woman of exceedingly dusky hro, with a wealth of flaming scarlet flowers in her bonnet. Mary Yancey, rs her name was, had cooked in the house of Mrs. Thomas at 11?0 H-st. last May. Mary diJ not know the meaning of the word "plaintiff," but did know Miss Pc'.laiJ, 1st she knew Col. Breckinridge, who "visited Miss Pollard there." "Did you ever pee that basket, Mary?" Mr. Carlisle inquired, handing up the work-basket, one the property of the lite Mrs. Breckinridge. "Oh, yes," was the unctious answer, "seen it thousands of times. That is Miss Pollard's work-basket." Objections, but oveiTuled. and Mary proceeded to tell how. on a day in May, Col. Breckinridge had lunched with Miss I'oIIar.1; how she had sen "Col. RreekJnrMg" a sittin' in the sofa with Miss Pollard and she a scwln' from the basket. It had a blua bow on it and a blue siik linin'." "Now, Mary. what, if anything, did Col. Breckinridge ray atiout that lunch to yon?" v.is the next question of Mr. Carlisle. More objoctlors on the grounds of materiality and others, that this was purely direct testimony. Another ruling dverso to the defendant, more protests from Mr. Shelby based on authority, and Mary continues: "Well, the next day he walked into the parlor. Ho said to me. 'Mary, that was an excellent lunch; one of the nicest lunches I ever phw in all the days of mv life.' Miss Pollard said to me: 'That vou cook. like that way all the time and I would like to have you come and rook for us when we go to housekeeping nxt fall.' Sas I: 'I have been livin' ith my ixcple sixteen years and I has ro ctusa to leave them.' " All thin was said very slowly and with treat impresslveness. the colored woman evidently realizing that she was taking part in a drama of Importance. "Did you see Col. Breckinridge call on Miss Pollard at the house and what was the mann r of thHr greeting, in April and May?" was the next admitted over objections. Ilrouaht Her Klnurrv "He would throw his arms around her vhf-n she would come in." said Mary, "after I had taken up his card, and ho would always bring a bunch of flowers to her." "Did Col. Breckinridge call often?" "Often; very often." "How often?" "Sometimes every day, sometime twice a day, sometimes three times a day. Mr. Breckinridge called to see Miss Pollard every two or three days, except V hen h' was out of the city." He was absent from th- city to or three times end them tim? tfl-erams would come." Col. Breckinridge had said they were to to hoi.uu-keepjntr in the earlv fall. He had kissed Miss pollard and put his arms around hr when he called during the month of May (after h!s marriage to Mrs. Wing secretly In New York). Mrs. Mlnear. who had appeared before, the landlady of tha Lafayette Square r use. was called and asked if Miss Pollard had hen there during the month cf August, W2, and the question wa objected to. Mr. Carlisle explained that Col. Breckinridge had testified that Miss Pollard was not In town that month, but Mr. Shflby returned that he had only testified that he did not see her in that month. The question being admitted. Mrs. Mir.ear assorted that from her books she larned that Miss Pollard was there on the .Tlst day of August, staying for a few days. This was the time, when Miss Pollard asserts Col. Breckinridge met at her at the depot on her arrival in the city and proposed to marry her formally for the first time. Here the court adjourned. WASHINGTON, April 6. Today the stream of testimony In the PollardBreklnriclge litigation, which had grown to be exceedingly wearisome, was brcughi t its close after five continuous weeks of sensationalism. The final reluttal today consisted of more denials by the plaintiff and defendant, leaving the final status of the case what It his largely been throughout, a question of eracity between the man and woman Madeline Pollard took the stand to purge herself from the stain of the mock marriage with "Blind Aleck" Julian, as well as to repeat with the dramatic emphasis peculiarly her own the denial that the debate that the agreement to marry between herself and Col. Breckinridge had been anything but a contract made in good faith, on her part at least. Also ehe talked of the birth of her children with a freedom which would have seemed astonishing but for the matter-of-fact way In which all manner of unusual things have been discussed, throughout this unusual case. Säe was very much the mistress of the situation, as she has been on her former appearance, determined to tell her own Btory In her own way and succeeding in her determination as well as in keeping the corps of lawyers for the defense In a flutter of apprehension lest she should get away, from their control. Col. Breckinridge repeated In all the variou keys of negation In which his silver tnrue Is skilled the denial of the story of Mary Yancey, the colored cook, end other vital details of the. case for the pla4ntlff. Argumenta to the Jury will begin Monday so that the case will probably close by Wednesday night. There will be two speeches for each ide. Carlisle will make the opening for the plaintiff. Ha will be followed by Col. Phil Thompson, formerly member of congress from th Blue Grass state, and MaJ. Benjamin Butterworth, ex-member from Ohio, for the defence and Judge Jere Wilson, exmember from Indla.ua, will give the final plea for Miss Pollard. From the announcement of speakers expectations of a great display of court-room oratory are warranted. The prevailing Idea that Col. Breckinridge would address the Jury 1 a mistake. Said Mr. Desha. BrecWnrMge. the son of the defendant, today: "Father will plac himself, as he ha In his political campaigns. In the hands of his friends." Dr. rarsonn Teatlfle. Madeline Pollard a friead.

A Class of Diseases Not Generally Understood. It is a popular impression that catarrh is a disease confined to the mucous membranes lining the ncse, throat and bronchial tubes and other of the respiratory organs. The real (fact is, that all mucous membranes, wherever located, ar subject to catarrh, and unless recognized and properly treated chronic ailments are sure to follow. No organ of the whole body Is more frequently affected than the bladder. The symptoms of catarrh of the bladder are: frequent voiding, which Is generally scant in quantity and highly colored, with a thick, white or Slightly pinkish sediment. Catarrh of the bladder is also liable to extend downwards to the pelvic organs. This will soon cause smarting and sometimes difI fieulty and pain. In females the exten sion or tne catarrnai (jisease is certain to involve the female pelvic organs, and produces leueorrhoea. painful periods, and bearing-down iain.

Breckinridge's cross-examination in Judge Bradley's court. Mrs. Parsons was called in rebuttal, the desire being to establish the identitv of the handwriting upon the slip of paper alleged to have been attached to the clothing of Miss Tollard's child. The defense did not care to have this evidence, but Judge Bradley overruled objections and Dr. Parsons testified that the slip shown was the identical one which had been pinned to the child's clothing, and the words. "Please name my baby Dictz Downing" were in her handwriting. Mary McKenzie, a middle-aged colored woman, was next put upon the stand. "Do you know where this baby which has b.-en spoken of was born?" asked Mr. Wilson. "In my house on Soventh-st.," -was the answer. "What was its mother's name?" She was called -Mrs. Hall." "Who attended her?" ' "l r. Parsons." Mary McKenzie had gone with Dr. Parsons to the asylum and given the child Into the keeping of the people there. "Did M. Hall ever come to visit Mrs. Hall?" "So she claimed." "Did you ever see him?" "Not till today. I recognize him by the child," responded the colored woman, looking directly at the gray-haired congressman, who sat before her. The defense did not care to cross-examine Aunt Mary. Mrs. Lucretia Marie Minar. the landlady of the fashionable boarding house at Lafayette square brought her account book, which showed that Miss Pollard had arrived at her house Aug. 31, 1S92, the day on which the plaintiff claims Col. Breckinridge first broached the subject of marriage after the death of his wife. The four mysterious volumes of Irving, which had figured In that part of the ct?e centering about the Norwood convent and in which the disputed Christmas card had been found, were placed on the witness stand. Then Attorney Calderon Carlisle walked to the stand and took the oath. Attorneys on the other side objected, but Judge Bradley ruled that as the evidence of Sisters Agnes and Augustine might have suggested to the minds of the Jurymen, the possibility that the card had been put in the book by Mr. Carlisle, it was entirely proper that the latter should be heard uin the subject. Mr. Carlisle proceeded: "I am able to swear that from the time I took that took from the bootecase until I discovered in it the Christ mas card no other hand but mine and that of Sister Agnes touched it. i was looking for handwriting in the bony or seme other marks of identification. While I was handling it I found between the leaves this Christmas card, which did not have its edges turned up or curled, and had on it the handwriting wl.leh you have seen, 'Compliments of W. S. D.' There was als-j the invisible net and the pressed rose leaves. When I found them my client was sitting in an opposite corner of the room and my colleague. Mr. Johnson, was some distpnee away. No one but myself could have put those things between the leaves of the book when our party was there, and I say to you. gentlemen, on my oath that I did not do it." Mr. Carlisle's evidence was fortified by the testimony of Attorney Johnson, who had accompanied him to the convent. Miss Pollard's Denial. Then Miss Pollard once mor took the witness stand and made denial that she had ever known Millie Shinglebower, Lena Singleton. John Brandt or Ilirman Kaufman, all of whom had deposed that she had been an Inmate of a. house of ill repute in Lexington. She had never heard of Sarah Guess until taken to her house by Col. Breckinridge; had never sustained Improper relations with Rhodes nor told Breckinridge that such relations had existed. She had not accepted money from the defendant at the time of her alleged seduction. Mis- Pollard also denied in all its details the story of the mock marriage between her and Owen Tlnsley on Christmas day 1SS3. Miss Pollard said: "I never was separated from Mr. Breckinridge a day during the nine years that I was in his life, but " when Ehe was stopped by objections from the defense. She received the letters addressed "My Dear Sister Louise," and was in his room every night he was under Mrs. Hoyt's roof. She had never at any time presented a pistol at his head. There was no understanding that she should deceive Mrs. Blackburn or that she should falsely represent to MaJ. Moore that shd was to be married. Col. Breckinridge I saw her rse the work-basket many times and said he was glad to see her use it. lth Miss Pollards retirement from the stand the plaintiff's rebuttal . closed. Then came In surrebuttal Mrs. Liddle. the matron of the Washington foundling asylum, who made a relatively unimportant denial as to the colored woman who brought the child to the asylum. Then Col. Breckinridge reappeared as a witness and denied that he had told the, colored woman. Mary Yancey, that he wanted her to cook for them when they got to housekeeping; that Miss Pollard was ever, to his knowledge. In his room at Mrs. Hoyt'e. This ended the testimony, to the relief of everybody, for It had been drawn out In a tiresome way for several days. The attorneys arranged to submit their requests for Instructions by th court to the Jury on the legal aspects of the case tomorrow and then the Jury was excused until Monday. WASHINGTON, April 9 Attorney Calderon .Carlisle, who is more deeply versed in international law than in breach of promise litigations, consumed today In the criminal court in a review of the testimony before the Jury in the Pollard-Brecklnridge case. His statement was a detailed dissection of thft evidence, delivered in a clear, dispassionate manner, although at times the lawyer referred to Col. Breckinridge In very ! scathing, but cooler-worded terms.

In the Burning of Milwaukee's Leading Theater, Besides a Property Loss of of $300,000. COLLAPSE OF THE ROOF. Precipitating Twenty Heroes Into tho Auditorium.

MILWAUKEE, April 9. Nine firemen are dead, six are seriously injured, and Milwaukee's leading theater, the Davidson, is in ruins, the result of a fire which mysteriously started in the roof of the building at 4:20 o'clock this morning. The loss on the building, scenery and equipments of the Lilliputian company aggregates $300,000, on which there is an insurance of 5SS.O0O, of which $10,000 is carried by Rosenfeld Bros., owners of the Lilliputians. Their loss will be $75,000. Twenty firemen were uion the roof of the building working under the direction of the chief and it was thought that the blaze was under control when the rof seemed to bulge under their feet and in a moment every man was pitched into the auditorium of tho theater, some falling into the parquette and others upon the balconies. I-eeds of heroism were numerous, as usual, under such circumstances. Michael Dunn, captain of one of the fire tugs, slid down a rope, made it fast to several of the men who were not pinioned down by the debris and then climbed the rope, hand over hand, to the roof of the Davidson hotel, which escaped destruction. The tire took anew start among the debris, and amid the gir.ans and shouts of the imprisoned firemen the work of rescue began and was kept up until 8 o'clock to-night, when the eighth body was taken out and the work abandoned until to-morrow, with only one corpse to remove that of Third Assistant Chief Janssen, a brother of Chief of Police Janssen. The Victims. The following is a revised and corrected list of the dead: Third Assistant Chief AUGUST JANSSEN. 2K5 Lighth-st. FItANK McGL'RK, lieutenant truck company No. 4 and acting captain No. 14.

The bodies of Assistant Chief August Janssen and Frank Finte of No. 6 are still In the ruins. An Avrfnl Cntaatrophe. A cry of horror went up from the firemen who saw the awful catastrophe. The members of the insurance patrol were covering up the seats in the parquet of the theater, when suddenly a light was seen through the roof above. The men In the theater ran back just in time and in the next moment the roof fell. Several of the men in the building were caught by the falling timbers. The scene that followed is never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. For a moment all was dark, then suddenly a tremendous sheet of flame chot up and with it came the cries of the firemen who had fallen through the roof to the theater below. One man was hard to cry: "My God, help me. I -am roasting to death." The men were buried under the blaring roof and there seemed to be little hope that they would come out alive, if, indeed, they had not been killed by the terrible fall. Tere was trouble in getting water oi the fire, which now rspklly made i' way through the theater and scenery. The water was finally turned on and several of the firemen who had fallen nearest the front door of the lobby were dragged from the burning debris and carried out more or less injured. The men were removed to the saloon across the street and their

wour.d3 dressed, while the firemen bravely kept at work pouring a deluge of water on the debris and trying to rescue others of the unfortunates. Seething Maaa of Flames. .Put soon no more cries were heard, and It was evident that all who had not been brought out now must be past hope. The interior of the auditorium soon became a seething mass of flames which the firemen vainly endeavored to subdue in order to save their doomed comrades. "When the men were at work amld.it -the ruins on the floor of the parquet the gallery began to burn, and while directing their attention to this blaze another portion of the roof fell, making the escape Impossible and adding more fuel to the fire. The firt fatality of the fire happened before th tragedy on the roof. Ollie Reis, a fireman, lost his life while t'.ying to reach the roof of the theater before the roof fell in. He had put up a ladder from the northern wing of the hotel building, which is two stories lower than the theater proper, when tho ladder swayed and he fell with It to the roof. Assistant Chief Pever, who was among those on the roof when the crash enmt, said: "The members of engine companies 3, 4, 6 and 14 were on the roof, where the main portion ot the tire was raging.

Suddenly, without a moment's warning, the roof gave way and down it went with all the men. Third. Assistant Chief August Janssen was among those who went down with the crash. He managed to catch, a fire-escape Just as the roof was swaying and held on. .We have tried all we can to rescue the men. but can not reach them. Assistant Chief Janssen is among those who are missing. I think he is buried in the debris." A Plpeuiau Story. John Yeo, pipeman of company .No. 4, was stretched out on one cf the comfortable cots at the Emergency hospital early this morning. He was frightfully injured, but as calm and cool, apparently, as if he had retired for a iilgnt's test. Yeo said: "We were all on the roof of the building (the 4's men) when she shook with us. There were near me at the time Capt. Linehan, Lieut. Freemam, Pipeman O'Neill and Pipeman Witte. Oh. but it was a terrible thing- I f.m afraid some of those poor fellow are done for. I never saw or heard, from them since. I had a wonderful escape. It seems almost impossible that I t bould be alive here at this moment, but, thank Cod. I am,- owing to the presence cf mind I had when I went down in 4he ruins, and the quick work of ;he relief party that came after me.. When I struck the bottom I was pinned flown fcy

I bricks and timbers, and 1 wor?d ariuinl to get loose. The flames were all around : me and plenty of smoke. My clothing j was tangled up with something, and so i 1 began to strip it off, and that is the way I got loose undressing myteir there In the flames with the ruins filed over me, and still falling. Oh. man. but it was a close rub for me and if my back is not broken I may be all right. Anyway, I hope I shall be saved. My head Is badly burned and cut. How cid I finally reach a place of safety? Why, the boys got a line to me, 1 made it fast i and was yanked over a wall into the alley or somewhere. The Davidson theater was opened in September, 1891, by the Emma Juch Grand onera company. Manager Sherman Brown stated, as he stood watching the smoke curling up to tlie stuaaea ana frescoed ceiling which had been his pride. "The original cost to John and Alexander Davidson was between $35O,0Ch) and $400,000. The loss, of course, is mainly on the interior. The walls will stand when all else is gone. There Is no way to estimate the loss, but It may be about half of the original investment. It will be at least a year before we can reopen. I have no doubt the theater will be rebuilt." The origin of the fire Is unknown. The flames were discovered in the meatroom adjoining the kitchen of the hotel over th. auditorium of the theater. . HEAVY LOSS AT 1IALTIMORC.

April 7 A phase cf the recent Cornell university poisoning case developed this evening in the suicide of Dr. W. I. Brenizer, a prosperous dentist, who was found dead- in his boarding house. All the circumstances tend to show that Brenizer killed himself late last evening. Iiis frK-nds Fay th? act was due to desiundency and meditation over the recent Cornell banquet tragedy, wl kh occurred in the same block in which his office is situated and directly over it. A letter addressed to Charles W. White of thi city was found on the desk. After stating he had been worrying over a secret, which was known to but a few i-eopls in Ithaca, be declares that the allegations made against him of complicity in the chlorine tragedy are false. "I have never s--en those jugs of chemicals," the letter reads, "nor any other element u?eJ In the ded. for sir months previous to the occurrence. I had not been In the room where the chlorir.9 was prepared. My hands never touched these elements of destruction and I hopa my past life will prove to the doubting mind a better opinion of me. The animate chlorine within men was taught long ago to realize the inanimate chlor ine without. My past life is fre of crime." The letter then goes on to direct that his body be buried in Ithaca and his office effects to be sold and the money sent to Mrs. M. E. Wilson c f Akron, O.. him former home.

Snj s There Will He an l pücnvcl and New Party, COLUMBIA, S. C, April S. Special t" the Associated Prcsö. While the eye? of all the people of the United States are turned upon this state in consequence of the recent alleged insurrection in Darlington, Governor Tillman comes to the front with the suggestion of an upheaval in national politics. While the Associated Press correspond ent was at the executive mansion today the governor read a letter he had received from a wt stern populist ia which the writer said that the only thinflf ha did not admire about the governor's political course so far was that he did not have tho moral couraga to com squarely out and call himself & populist. The governor then called attention to the fact that many of the northern and western pajers were speaking of him as the i'pulist governor. Then, after a little deliberation, he said: "Yes. they rail me a populist. I will tell them that I am the truest representative of Jeffersonian democracy in the lead in American ionilcs today. Let me tell you. I don't see anything ahead now but for the southern democrats tr ccmbine their forces with the western populists and go into the next national campaign on new party lines. Th northeastern democrats and republicans are now together. It is a combination of the moneyed interests." The governor then, turning suddenly and in a somewhat excited and very forcible manner, .aid: "1 despise Cleveland and his mugwumps. lie is no heb ter than the rankest republican. He has destroyed the democratic party. The South and West will be forced to tinita and have a complete reorganization of party lines. The people who are afraid of the negro and other questions will have to ca.t aside their fears on those scores and come together on the on line of lighting the money combinations." I Care Dyspepsia.
