Not Admit Blmaelf The Greater.
Washington, March 30.-Col. W. C.
P. lireckitiriJrje faced Madeline I'ollard,
his accuser, in the Circuit court of
the District yesterday, and told part
of his version of their intimacy.
He spoke easily, softly, earnestly
with just a touch of that musical ring
in his voice which has helped give him
the reputation of a spellbinder. He told
his story without 'a'tempt at dramatic
finish. He had finished only his story ol
the carriage ride on the night of the day
be first called on Miss I'ollard at Wcs
Icy an Institute in Cincinnati when the
court adjourned for the day.
Col. Breckinridge made no - iCtise for
himself in telling the story ol liiltv he and
Madeline Pollard began their guilty re
lations. "I was a man with passion, she
wa a woman with pnssion," vas all he
said that could be construed as estcuua
ting himself,
During the recital, Miss Pollard moved
uneasily in her chair with plain manifes
tations of an intention to break in upon
me story.
Longressmun Krcckiiiridtre continued
his testimony totlav. tellini: an entirely
ditlercnt storv from that told bv Miss
rollard of their nine years ol intimacy.
The bailiffs at the court tried very dili
gently this morning to obey Jii'lge" Urad
lev's order with reference to keeping out
all but members ol the bar and persons
concerned in the case, but the crowd
that secured admission was as great as
on any previous day ol the trial, and by
tne lime col. ureekinrnlge lieuun his tes
timony every seat and bench in the
chamber was tilled. Miss 1'olli-rd en
tered the court room at exactly 10
o'clock with Carlisle and Miss HI lis. and
almost on her heels came the defendant,
looking a trifle careworn. Ilrcckinridge
sat down Inside Col. Phil. Thompson
and chatted pleasantly, uniliiig the
while, mil il he was called to the stand
Miss Pollard sat unriuht in her chair.
looking straight aluad. When Col.
Breckinridge took the witness stand he
did not sit down, but stood leaning
easily on the Judge's desk, his lingers
tumbling nervously with his watch
chain. Untterworth started the pro
ceedings by showiigthc defendant a
ttle decorative basket which, the
plaintiff claims, was given her by Col
llrcckintidue, with th'- remark. "Made
line, this was Issy's meatiiu l is (lea
wife and I want you to have it." Ilnck
inndge said the basket was given to his
late vite by her sister Miss hesha, who
brought it Irom Nantucket, ar-d he ban
seen it last in the furnished root! s lie liar
taken hen bis children went back to
Kentucky. He denied giving it to Miss
Pollard, and did not know how it came
into her possession.
Ureekinridgi- then described what took
place on the and of August, the
day after the carriage ride with the
plaintiff. He said he entered the car
riage for Lexington and found the plaint
iff setting in it. She was not there by
any prenrrangemeut with him. He spoke
to her and the conversation resulted in
an arrangement to nuct that evening in
Lexington at the house of the colored
woman, Sarah Guest. Ilcexprcssed sur
prise that she knew this place, and she
said she had gone th'-rc on one occasion
with Khodcs.
Witness then told ofgoinclo thetiucst
house with the plaintiff on their ni rival
in Lexington, which, he said, was sub
stantially as told bv Miss Pollard. He
said he lelt Miss Pollard at the dour . I
th-.- Sarah Guest house. nioniisiiiL' to
come back alter going to his home. lie
went Home, ook supper with bis laim v.
and returned in less than an hour. He
had made tio such arrangement wit It
Sarah Guest, as Miss Pollard and Sarah
testified to, in effect that he had cone to
sec Sarah Guess the night before going '
to
h;T house. He remained with the
plaintiff until about 10:30 and the plain
til! elected to spend the night there in
stead of going to a mote respectable
house. There were no protestations ol
love and affection on his i rt. said
Breckinridge, and no talk with the plain
till about helping her to secure nu edu
cation.
Uieckenridge said Miss Pollard elected
to stay where she was instead of going
to tne House ot a lady she knew "as less
liable to detectiou." ' He went back m xt
evening with some expectancy that, he
might uot lind her there. Did not h arn
am thing from her about Rhodes coining
to Cincinnati during her absence. She
appeared to be a young woman full v
grown and matured, and she understood
matters I hat u young girl would not
know. There never had been unv claim
on her part that she was a maiden or
mat he had in any sense ruined her.
She had never said she was a girl 1 7 or

the imxu: wagon top.
A New IllttiiHlr i NlHbllHhccl
lu
Aahevllle.
A new industry has started in Ashe
ville flint will, if the usefulness of the
article manufactured be nny reason,
soon grow to be a business of large im
portance. The industry referred to is
the manufacture of the Dixie wagon top,
an inveutiou of Kilcy L. Davis, by whom
it was patented last I'cccmbtr.
The Dixie top is made of steil bows,
the forward aud rear bows being of
larger w ire, the cuds ol which lit into
lockets on the side ol the wagon bed.
The front bow socket works in an ad
justablc lock, the use ol w hich enables
the top to be lightened to any desired
tension. As the bows are tightcucd by
the lock the roc connecting the bows
is drawn tight and stretches the top,
making it sell supporting. The bows arc
made of best gnlvnnut-d wire, and can
be put on or taken oil any ordinary
wagon bid by one man in a uinmeut'i
time. Thev can be folded into small
pace and hung on a nail when not
needed. The top is very neat and iit
tracttve and will fill a long lelt need lo-Ja
light and strong adjustable top for use
on all kinds of wagons and at a price
within the reach of all.
The top w II be manufactured by the
Dixie Wagon Top company, the factory
of which is ou the K. & D. road near the
freight depot. The company is composed
ol L E. Lagan, Geo. K. Collins and
Riley L. Davis, and if hustling by live
young business men can build up a large
industry that is what Asheville will have
in this factory.
