That He Never Made a Contract of Marriage Witn Miss Pollard That She Did Not Expect Him to Marry Her That Her Life Was Immoral Before He Made Her Ac- (jnaintance. Washington, March 17. Copyright1. Col. Breckinridge has declined to be inter viewed for publication respecting theiuture course of his trial, but Mr. Wm. E. Chris tian, of New York, having asked an inti mate and well-informed friend ofthede fendent what the probable effect of the trial would be on Col. Breckinridge's political future, was answered as follows: "He is quite confident of re-election. He has about 35,000 voters in his district, of which he received about 20,000 the last elec tion, a majority of some 6,000. His election three times has taken place during Presi dential years and twice in ofF years. In the off years he has had no opponents, the vote having been only some 6,000 or 7,000 all told. This being r,n off year, there will be no opposition ex.c: Li his own party, 'and that only as to his renomination. Two gen tlemen who are striving for the nomination are E. E. Settle and Wm. C. Owens. Mr. Settle is from the celebrated county of Owen, representing 4,000 votes; Mr. Owens from the county of Scott, representing some 1,800 votes. Thus far, there has been only one primary in which adherence to him could be tested. This was held on the 6th day of March, at Frankfort, when three dis tinctly and personally Breckinridge 'men were nominated. Congressional nomina tions take place in August, and it is the cus tom in this district to give the sitting mem ber a chance for canvassing after the flose of the session of Congress, he will go L?k to Kentucky and speak in every precinct. I firmly believe that he will be returned by his constituents..' ; , "How lone do vou suppose this trial will last?" "The witnesses for the plaintiff should be through by MorTQav night. The colonel's evidence will be all in by the following Wednesday night. Then there will be two speeches on each side and it is not improb able that the case will go to the jury at the end oi next weeK. it is lively the speeches on the colonel s side will be made by his comrade, Col. Thompson, and his warm personal friend, Maj. Ben Butterworth." "Will the colonel speak?" 'He says he expects to make the effort of his life, which will consist in not speaking, 'for,' says he, 'I often find that my best speech is" that which is not spoken.' " 1 "Do you object to stating' to me in out line the plan of defense ?" "I suppose not. In the first place, no man under any circumstances, can be ex pected or required to marry a woman who is not chaste. Of course, the defense will submit evidence "to impeach the good char acter of the pJaintiff. There will be a depo sition from Aleck Julian, a blind man in Kentucky, who swore thai he met the plaintiff in 1882, two years before her meet ing with the defendant, and who went through a mock marriage with her. He will say that after the marriage the plaintiff asked him if it was not customary lor peo-, pie when married to go to their room and be" alone and that they did repair to a room to gether, the plaintiff, according to his depo sition, being then undar the influence of intoxicants. , "Evidence will be introduced presump tive of improper relations between plain tiff and James C. Rodes, the man who ad yanced her school money under promise of marriage. "There will be a deposition from R. R Rozelij also stating that in 18S4 he meet this young woman who, he alleges, was deeply m love with him and who implored him as he was leaving her to take her to Chicago with hira. ' 'As has been stated, the colonel's meet ing with this young woman took place, in 1884, when she claimed to be a shy girl of 18 years, with the experience I have men tioned behind her. It will be proved by Doctor U. V. Williams, the physician ai tendant upon the birth of her sister, that at the time of the birth of the youngest sister in 1865, the plaintiff was 2 years old, which would put her age at 21 years, instead of 18, whn he met her, as she alleges, i "It will be proved by John Brand, Hiram KaiTan a11 Dt- Green, of Lexington, Ky., that in lo.3 tlie PNmtiff waS a visitor to hniispq nf ill ."VUtfi, -These f actsger With others which rill be introduced, will 2fWwh the un chastity of the plaintiff, but will be used ti bnlster iid the defense than as t?e main bulwark. This main bulwark will consist in the fact that the defendant has never at any time intended or made a eon tract to marry Miss Pollard, and that she Vnew at all times that he would never marry her." ; . "TTnw then do vou construe the conversa tion between the colonel and Mrs. Black- barn as test.med to dv ner on iue B..auu. did he not ask Mrs. Blackburn to protect her on the ground that he was to give her his name?" . He did not. Why should Uol. Breckin ridge ask Mrs. Blackburn to protect a young woman with wnom sue uu j terms of intimacy ior twu jem a who had participated in ner receptions. The fact that she came under Airs. -tacK- burn's protection was one mat au the conversation you refer to. You will re member, moreover, that Mrs. Blackburn threatened to withdraw her protection unless the colonel agreed to this or tnat condition. Why should those conditions have arisen m been telling Mrs.Blackburn stories about the plaintiff which had no doubt weakened her in the estimation of Mrs. Blackburn. In order to avoid public scandal if possible and to save the girl, the colonel took heroic measures and what he said to Mrs. Black burn was with the agreement, and for the purpose that she might pass from the scene without any prejudice to herself, and with out involving Mrs. Blackburn. She did go to New York afterwards, but she was quickly back again, and did everything to render any efforts for her ineffective." "In the scene, which was enacted in the office of Chief of Police Moore, what con struction would you look for on that? ill it be said in the defendant's evidence that he acted under compulsion?" "No, it will not. He will not say that he was afraid. I think you might say that he tttoq nnnrohensive rather than afraid. ies, thof wnnlH f-xnress it. for now it comes to that thvnt nn two more pistols which the plaintiff threatened to use besides the one exhibited m court. But when the colonel takes the stand he will tell the whole truth and face the music like a man. What ever may have happened in Maj. Moore s nffirp. the Dlaintiff never dreamed ior one instant that the colonel would ever marry uar nnr Hid she claim that he bad seduced i ' t,v... An nnt: remember in the evi dence of Maj. Moore the colonel said to him i i nramra that, hp did not seduce her, ,s ,v. c.v,o iri)e no renlv whatever to oAnm'aTiv in his statement Returning for a moment to the protection theory upon which Mrs. BlacKDurn cnums !1rZL oitld had the eoLonel wished pro- Y"trz???rCZ w u his brother her with Lis family, anJals a cousin with whom hp had the sweetest relations? He could have toieo her to thepi had he been seeking pro JTnr.r. for her." "Vow may I take the nherty ot a. vou did the colonel make any Promise of LTr'riage to Miss Pollard during the lifetime of his late wife?" "Never in any form whatever. Any Btatement to the contrary is absolutely false in every particular." "What was the cause of this secret mar riage." ' ,Vell, Mrs. Wing was then in Washing ton, was not well, and expected to go East, while the colonel expected to go West, leav ing it unlikely that they should meet again in Hftonths." "Referring to the secret feature, the colo nel spoke to me as follows: 'We were en gaged to be married , but she was extremely ?;n a to be on sweet terms with my Children and to preserye the best relation in " . . j i. alternative came h fiSS a postponement of our marriage until rrss should meet in December or a pn rHageand its subsequeut announce t Aoer reports about that mar me o, all malicious f abricaUons-abso-Putfly folsTand Sn?octed by those who Jiaye so Med on birn." HEAVY HAH, STORM. Fine Rains in the Raleigh Section A Prisoner Charged With Harder Delivered to Virginia Anthort j ties Without Requisition. I Special to tne Messenger. -kaleigh, March 17. There was a very heavy hail storm at Moncure this afternoon. Fine and grateful rains of marked benefit to crops fell in this section of the State. A man named Davis, charged with mur der in Nansemond county, Va., has been taken from Warrenton N. C, to the latter State without requisition on Governor Carr. The Governor telegraphed to the sheriff of Warren to hold Davis until requisition was received, but the sheriff replied that the man had already been taken away. More Trouble at the Colorado Mines. . Denver, Col., March 17. The Governor received the following dispatch from the Sheriff at Cripple Creek, Col., this morning: "Cripple Creek, Col., March 17, 1894 "D. H. ttaite, Governor, Denver: "I have issued a call to the colonels of the First and Second regiments for troops to aid the civil authorities in enforcing the laws of the State, which I understand I am author ized to do. The emergency is great. If I have not this authority I poll nnon vou to order said troops to Cripple Creek immedi ately, for there is at said camp a body of f .uto-u aonuK tiUKeiiiier. uumir vitueuue tu . per son 8 and property, by force and violence, breaking and resisting the laws of this State, and I must have the troops to aid in the sup pression of riot and insurrection. Signed.) M. F. Bo webs, Sheriff of El Paso County." The Governor answered as follows: Sheriff El Paso County: You ought first to summon the nosse com- roitatus of your county. If they cannot maintain order then call upon me as Gov ernor for aid. Calling the troops must be the last resort. I will order trooos held in readiness immediately. Wire me. bignedj Davis H. Waite, Governor." The trouble at Alteman and Crinnle Creek is over a question of wages. The mines have been practicallv idle for thirty days. The miners in sisted on working only eight hours a day; the owners wanted nine hours work, and pending a settlement of the dispute the miners struck. A few weeks ago the proprietors working nine hour shifts were notified by the miners that the men must labor only eight hours a day in the future or quit altogether. Some of the own ers acceded and others closed down. A few days ago the sheriff posted a notice, warning the miners that if they interfered with the working of the mines they would be in con tempt of court, and no other difficulty was experienced until yesterdav, when the men were sent to the ictor and were halted and disarmed, and the sheriff decided to ask the intervention of the State. ' Sheriff Bowers, with a larre nosse of denu- ties, is in possession of the mines at Alte man and no trouble is anticipated during' the day. ' The hills there are in imroar and the miners are congregating. The trouble will come in the night. The mines are working with a limited number of men. ihe Governor s communication to the court was about 4,000 words long. After reciting the case from the first up to the present day, he asks the court to decide which men constitute the legal fire and police and excise commissioners of the citv of Denver. This ends for the present the controversy which for a time threatened to plunge the city and State into bloodshed. Ihe Denver militia companies started to day for the Cripple Creek mine troubles The Pollard-Breckinridge an Expen sive Suit. Washington, March 17. The Pollard- Breckinridge trial was adjourned from yes terday until Monday. Among people con nected with the courts there is quite a little gossip and discussion concerning the ex penses connected with the trial, for it is one of the most costly suits for both parties held in Washington lor years. There is on both sides an array of lawyers who are accus tomed to obtain large rewards for their services. Judge Jere Wilson has been coiisidered the leader of the local bar. Mr. Calderon Carlisle, while a young man, lis also an attorney of exceptional ability and one who is accustomed to receive heavy fees. One witness for Miss Pollard was summoned from Colorado and several from Kentucky, while heavy travelling expenses and counsel fees were incurred in' taking the depositions, numbering nearly fifty. The stenographers' fees alone amount to nearly 1,000. While Misa. Pollard is not supposed to have much money, she must have influen tial friends who are interested in the case. Many newspaper reports have said that all of Col. Breckinridge's lawverfl. except Mr. McKenney of Washington and po:!'?lv Col. Phil Thompson, who has not lived in Kentucky for several years, are poli tical mends who -are giving their services because of their loyalty to him personally and politically. This is not true, so far as Attorney Stoll. who has played a conspicuous pan m me oeience, is concerned, for Mr. Stoll is a Republican of the most pronounced stamp, wnile his father was one of the pioneers of Repub licanism in Kentucky, and his family has been closely identified with the fortunes of the party in the Bluegrass State. Hypnotism in the Dentist's Chair. Macon, Ga., March 17. By means of hyp notism, Dr. H. H. Johnson, of this city, has within the .past two days performed two painless operations in dental surgery. The subject on whom the operation was per formed is Arthur Chapman, a young man 17 years old. (Jhapman had previously naa two teeth filled, but the pain was such that further operation was discontinued, as his neryous system was entirely unstrung. In conversation with Sam Everett, Macon's well-known hypnotist, he mentioned the painful operation and Everett told him by means of hypnotism could be rendered painless. The young man consented, and while under the influence, had the doctor to complete the operation, which was done without the young man experiencing the slightest inconvenience. Texas Democrats Harmonizing. Aitstin. March 17. The two State Jixecu- tive committees of the two Democratic fac tions will meet in Dallas Monday to bring about harmony in the party in Texas and to fix a date and place for the next meeting of the State Democratic convention. Promi nent Democrats from both factions will go from this city, and Governor Hogg will leave to-morrow to see what he can do about creating harmony and uniting the parties. It is recognized that unity must be swnred or the State this vear may fall into the hands of the Populists and be brought to the condiiioo of Colorado and Kansas. A strong effort is being made here and all over the State to have Frank Jones bead the Populist ticket this year and he has ac cepted an invitation to make a speech here next Saturday.

City Ordinances Against Minors En tering Barrooms Valid Incendi aries Spotted The Exhaustive Report on the Iron Deposits of the State Collector Simmons Still on the Anxious Bench. Messenger Bureau, ) Raleigh, March 17. f There was no observance of St. Patrick's day here. There are remarkably few Irish! in this city. Many persons, however, 'wore green" in compliment to the day. Mr. Meserve, the new president of Shaw University, colored, arrived here to-day, from Kansas. The Supreme court decides that any city or town can pass an ordinance making it punishable for any unmarried person un der 21 years of age to enter a barroom. Seventy-four convicts were sent to the Roanoke farm from thejenitentiary to-day. This is a greater number than it was at first expected would be sent. "Collector Simmons now says ha does noM expect anything to be done in the matter of his confirmation before April 1st. It ismhe expectation of the trustees to open the Kaleigh public hospitals next month. The Raleigh Medical society has been asked to make suggestions as to the, medical treatment at the hispital. uarus are out to ine marriage of Miss Mathilda Irvin. of Warrenton. to Mr R fv Graves on the 28th instant. Thus far the PoDulists h ave hld onn doti. tions in twenty-three counties. The persons who set fire to the houses of G. M. Baucom near Auburn, this county, are suspected. - Allusion was made a dav or two asm to th a report of the State geological survey on the iron ores of North Carolina. The book is now ready for distribution. It was prepared, m the main, by the assistant geologist, Mr. H. C. B. Nitze, and contains the results of the examinations of the more important iron ore deposits known to The total area examined amounts to 6,000 square miles, being distributed through twenty-three counties in the central and western nortions of th Rtt The ore deposits receiving most attention are the following: The magnetic and specu lar ores ot Granville county; the brown hematites Of Ore Hill, in (Chatham muntv the magnetic ores of Stokes. Surrv and Yadkin counties: the mafmAtito and hrown hematite ores of Catawba, Lincoln and Gas ton counties: the magnetite ores of Ashe. Mitchell and Madison nonntips- thn hrown hematite ores of western Madison and Cher okee counties. Extensive deposits of iron ore are described in each of these and in other localities less extensive in area. The report is said by competent critics to be one of great value and reflecting credit on the sur vey and on the State. It is accompanied by an excellent man. which shown t.h a location of all the important iron ore beds of the State. The report can be had on applica tion to the State geologist here, 10 cents to be enclosed for postage. Two other reports on other subjects, are to be issued bv the State geologist this year. Fourteen of the convicts sent from here to-day are negro women. The handsome pew M.

New York, March 17. The Swi's cotton review says: Cotton advanced 4 to 5 points, then reacted and closed with a net advance of 2 to 5 points and steady. Sales were 41, 100 bales. Liverpool advanced i point and closed quiet. Spot sales were 8,000 bales at steady and unchanged prices. New Orleans advanced 3 points. Spot cotton here was steady and unchanged. Sales were 148 bales for spinning. Southern markets were quiet and steady and unchanged. St. Louis sold 937 bales, New Orleans 650 and Savannah 500. Receipts at the ports were 6,717 bales, against 8,894 this day last week and 8.032 last year. New Orleans receipts on Monday are estimated, at 4, 000 bales against 810 last Monday and 6,030, last year. Most of the Southern rivers were falling. At Vicksburg the Mississippi "was rising. It was generally clear at the South, but there were rainfalls for twenty-four hours of 1.66 inches at ' Mobile, .86 of an inch at Montgomery, and -.82 at New Or leans. It was only the ghost of former speculation in cotton that was seen to-day, but what there was of it made the bears a little nervous. L'!verPol seemed for the mo ment to regard them wim r.7 eu eye. Its prices were steady on the spot and slighlv higher . for future Idelivery, while its spot sales were very fair for Saturday. There was less pressure here to sell long cotton. Bears were more in clined to cover or else to hold aloof than to put out fresh lines. The port receipts showed some diminution, though the per pendicular falling off isjstill "inour mind s eye, Horatio." Yet they were smaller than might have been expected ano ine iNew Orleans estimate for Monday was not of a kind to lurnish capital for the bears. The cotton goods trade is brightening Up a little. The interior receipts were comparatively large toKlay, but then, as conservative peo ple have latterly pointed out, they must ex ceed those of the year 1890, for the rest of the season if we are get a crop of 7,200,000 bales. One drawback is that there is not much snap in the short trade in cotton, though it is perhaps hardly so dull as recently. . Knives, Razors, Pistols. St. Louis, March 17. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Prattyille, Ala., says: Moses Thomas and Henry Atwood, two well known young men, had a quarrel last night about a debt the former owed the latter. Knives were drawn and they came together. Atwood's two brothers joined in the melee to help him and Wm. Thomas gave help to his brother.

The portion of silver retained by the Gov ernment as compensation for coining is the seigniorage, and includes compensation for the mint's work of forming and stamping the metal returned to owners, plus the Gov ernment's declaration of value. Silyer dol lars have intrinsic metallic value, plus the implied legal value created by legislative en actment authorizing mints to stamp coin and other acts guaranteeing naritv of all dollars Silver certificates only represent Government warehouse receipts for silyer dollars. The Government's legal and moral obligation does not extend to gold redemp tion of paper certificates. In a court of last resort silver dollars must be as good as gold dollars. To pay out silver dollars held against certificates would be an official breach of trust. Silver certificates are not money and should not be counted as such. V hen returned to the treasury they cannot be reissued leallv without, oil deposited in trust to cover them. Certifi cates circulate as money while there is as much gold in hand as is demanded in ex change for the silver they represent. The obligation to preserve parity of all dollars is honest, is sound as the good faith of the people who made the declaration. Fail ure to act up to the spirit ought to cause official impeachment. Silver bul lion earned as seigniorage may be as good as any other silver. To main tain parity of dollars makes silver issues good as gold, as good as the credit of the people, plus the intrinsic value of what sil ver there is in a dollar, say 47 cents, or equal to a legal tender dollar note plus 47 cents worth of silver. Issuing certificates for sil ver dollars is a public convenience equaling other forms of banking minus usual cost. The United States is able and willing to keep ite credit good and remain solvent. The Bland Seigniorage bill appears to mean in flation. The money of the United States appears to be paper representing private set tlements. We believe it the soundest and best policy in the world.

The Human' Electrical Forces! How They Control the Organs of the Body. The electrical force of the human body, us wie nerve nuia may De termed, li an espe cially attractive department of science, as it exerts so marked an influence on the health oi the organs of the body.
