Much of the Testimony Unfit for Puh lication Rosell Tells of His En gaeement with the Plaintiff and Other Witnesses Tes tify as to Her Aban doned Character as . Early as 1893. Washington, March 28. Col. Rreck inridge will take the stand to-morrow to testify in his own behalf. To-day several witnesses for the defense were examined and nearly all the" remaining depositions were read, leaving only a few of the latter to be disposed of. "When the read ing of the depositions is concluded Col. iirecKinridge, his attorneys say, . will take the stand and they are confident that he will make a good impression The trial began to-day with more ex pert testimony as to the alleged forged letter. E. B. Hay was. again on !the stand and on the defensive of ihis character as an expert. Among other things' Hay sail ;.day that specific com parison of letter v.', the best test. i rom a report of an almost forgotten Congressional investigation in which Mr: Hay testified as an expert in hand- w ruung. juage Wilson read the follow mg question and answer from the report- you reiy more on gen eral characters than on specific comoari sons."' . "Mr. Hay I do " inen mt. ttay entered into an expla nation tending to reconcile the two di verse statements. , lr- Worthmgton, private secret, -y of oi. recKinridge, took the stand i. d testified that he had found the letter iu a bunch of correspondence in an old file case in Col. I3re kidridge's office. The bundle was on top of a desk which had been used by. Col. Breckinridge. The pile had the appearance of having been on top of the desk for a long while. He found no other; letters purporting to be written by MissPollard.Thesearch for the letter was made during the first or sec ond week in September last, after the breach of promise suit had been filed. The search extended over three or four days. Judge Wilson cross examined the wit ness carefully as to his search for the letter, and after the witness had stuck t3 his testimony, Judge Wilson half asked, half asserted: "So that in all this search the only thing you found in the office bearing Miss Pollard's signature was this scrap of paper?" "Yes, sir," said Mr. Worthington. Rankin R. Rosell was the nxt witness. He is the young man who said in his de position that Miss Pollard wanted him to take her to Chicago when they were en gaged. Miss Pollard admitted the en gagement. Mr. Rosell is a young look ing man. He saidhe was 31 years old and lived in Nicholasville, Ky. He was superintendent of the schools in his county and deputy county clerk, and also held offices in Masonic circles. Mr. Rosell said he resided in Cincinnati in 18S5 and was employed as a clerk in a large dry goods house. He knew Miss Pollard and became acquainted with her in October or November, 1833. Miss Pollard came in just at this point with her friend, Miss Ellis, and Rosell stopped end looked at her in a surprised way. I was employed m this dry goods house at the time," he said, "and during one of the months named, a ladv called on me at the store and introduced her self as Miss Madeline Pollard, saying she had heard of me very often, She told me she wanted to go to the Wesleyan college, and I went there with her. Vid she say how she came to know you, asKea Jiiaj. oneiny. "Yes, sir. she said fiie naa neard or me tnrougn ner cousin las reiiy sil ver. " Mr. Rosell told of going to the college wltn Miss Jouara ana now iuiss roiiara told the principal, Dr. Brown, that -Air. Rosell, to whom ece had mtroauced irer- self that day. was a personal friend of hers, and asked that permission be granted for him toall on her at the col lege. He saw Miss Pollard three or four days after that at the college. He called there about twice a week on an average to see her, and most frequently saw her alone. 'I at first had a great admiration for the j'oung lady," said the witness, nervoustv looking at his finger nails, which developed into love, and from love we became engaged." She had told him. he said, that she had engaged her self to "old man Rodes to get money from him to secure an education and that was how she came to be a pupil at Wesley an college. During the period ot their engagerne&t the witness saw her more frequently alone at the college than when others were present, tier rnanner was very affectionate. ' In what wy was that indicated.' asked Maj. Shelby, The witness hesitated m an embar rassed way before answering. He then said "By kissing and caressingf then he added : "She has sat in my lap.' Miss Pollard rose in her chair and made a slight movement toward the witness. She appeared as if about to speak, but Mr. Carlisle pulled, her back in the chair, and Roriell proceeded. "When she sat in your lap were there any demonstrations of avTection between you," Maj. Shelby asked. "There naturally was," said the wit ness. 'T put my arms about her and kissed ner." inJ' witness said he had decided to go to ChieaiA"1. and when he went to say good bye to as" Pollard, she expressed regret that he was" jomg.anu asneu wny he did not take her wii& hm. "I said, 'Well, if you want to go under ihes.e .circumstances'.'-come along,' ana she went upstairs and came down with her and cloak. That put rne in a hole, and I told her that it was inconvenient for me to take her then, and that we had better wait until next June." ''How old was she then?" "She always represented herself to be three years my junior I was oorn in 1S60. and sne said niie ws doth m November, 18G3." Miss Poilard says she was born November SO, 1806.

I never knew him before I made application for the place of guager, and i withdrew the applica tion before I made my deposition." The witness was then -turned over to the plaintiff's counsel and Judge Wilson asked the witness if he did not' know that Weslyean college stood very high as an educational institution and if he did not know that the wife of President Haves and the wife of Congressman Sorinler had been educated there. Then ?Prt.n& v:' to describe the loca- wiss rollard at the college. Rosell had testified that he called on Miss Pollard two or three times every week. Judge Wilson asked the witness if he did not Know that visitors were allowed to see pupils only once a week, and Mr. Rosell said he did not. "I only know I told me irutn, ne added. "And you mean to say, as testified in your examination, you sat in the parlor ana tne reception room with Miss Pol lard on your lap for an hour and a half -to two hours at a time and nobody in- ,vu. , xuat is your siaiemeni is il not. "Yes sir, that is it positively true." Kosen in answer to other questions said he first told of his experience with Miss Pollard to Dr. O'Mahoney, who had come to him from Col. Breckinridge. He also said to Dr. O'Mahoney that Miss 1iu'wlu ioiu mm tnat she and Aleck Julian had gone through a mock mar riage togetner.

The wnness aeposed that Miss Pollard had made advances toward him. but be re jected them on account of his friendship towards Rhodes, with whom he was as sociated at the insane asylum near Lex ington. On cross-examination Kaufman saA ne had seen Mr. Rodes give ' Madeline .rollard .o. Mr. Rodes had presented him to Miss Pollard, saying: ' Let me in troduce you to my girl, Miss Pollard." He had also seen another cirl at. Tina Singleton's called "Little Lena" and he had been there with Rodes. Brant, a ma n named Shindlebauer. "a fellow frr.m Texas," and others. The witness snil bo had not gone back to Lena Singleton's house because he had a ouarrel with 'the Pollard woman." as she by the attorneys takine: the denositirm and he went on to tell in all its disgust ing details a conversation between them that oul -bill inssca ted billin and in which Miss Pollard is represented as using language hard to credit when compared to her refined manner and ap pearance. Kaufman said he. had seen the Pollard woman frequently at the house of Lena Singleton. John A. Brant deposed that he met. Madeline Pollard at the house of Jim Rodes, where Lena SiDgleton acted as his housekeeper. This was a house of ill re pute. He went to the house with Rodes and Miss Pollard dodged him, said depo nent,, meaning tnat sne would not meet him. She appeared then, in 1883. to be a full grown woman. Lena Singleton, said Brant, was Jim Rodes' mistress. Brant testified that he had taken Miss Pollard riding three or four times. He was a married man at the time. Brant 6aid the woman he knew at Lena Singleton's as Madeline Pollard was about 5 feet high or less. Miss Pol lard is much taller than that. Miss Pol lard seemed to be visiting at Lena Sin gleton's when he visited there in- the summer of 1883. He said when he met Miss Pollard in 18S3 his supposition was that she was attending school either at Sayre institute in Lexington or in Cin cinnati. The last time he had taken her riding was m July or August, 1883. Brant was asked if he had had im moral relations with the young woman, but he said he thought he should not be ompelled to answer that question., and he was not forced to answer it. The deposition of Letcher Lusbv. chief of police in Lexington was read next. He said he had heard of Lena Singleton as the keeper of a house of ill-fame. Her eputation was that of a woman on the town. Mr. Lusby had been employed by the Adams Express company in Lexing ton and he was asked if, during the time he was in the company's service James C.Rode had expressed any money to any persons outside of Lexington. He said Rodes shipped money frequently to some young lady, whose name he could not remember, who was at Weslyan college, Cincinnati. Rodes said she was his niece. W. T. Jones, a member of Lexington's board of aldermen, deposed that he Lknew the family of President Brown-, of V esleyan college and visited them fre quently in the fall and winter .of 1883, where he met Madeline Pollard. The deponent said Miss Pollard told him that Rodes was paying her tuition, but she did not intend to marry him. He was an ignorant old farmer, she said, and she Expected to pay him back. Thjs was all of Uderman Jones' depo sition and the court adjourned until to morrow morning.' ' . Mr. Palmer Has Not Assigned. Lynchburg, Va , March 28.

The bulge was not unexpected, but the force and suddenness with which it came about nearly took away the breath of the late complacent shorts. Ever since Sun day, when the cold wave enveloped the winter wheat belt, fears were enter tained that harm had been wTought to the growing plant. These fears were as suaged as far as possible by those whose interest it was to do so. .Every report of damage was discredited or talked down, but the weather conditions to-day were of such a character that plausible theo ries of unjoin ted wheat, etc., were cast aside, and for thirty minutes during the early part of the ses sian everybody- was a bull. ' It was either raining or snowing wherever wheat was planted, and hack of it and headed direct for the wheat country was an area of low temperature. The Govr ernment indications confirmed the pros pects of a freeze by predicting a severe cold wave. Shorts endeavored to quietly cover their contracts, but their attempts developed the fact that offerings were scarce. A wild scramble followed and the price Of May was sharply ' run up from 58fc to 610. When the demand was fully satisfied, the price receded, but at the close the decline was only fc from the outside and the net gain for the day 2fto2ic In deference to the excitement in wheat, corn remained quiet and unob trusiye. Business was hght and 'the range narrow. The feeling was, how ever, one of firmness, the close being at the outside. May sold between 87Jc and 37ic, closing at the former, a net gain of ic for the day. Cash corn was firm and ic higher. " Oats were firm and higher with wheat and corn. There was also some inde pendent strength derived from reports of damage to the crop, but as yet they have not assumed definite shape. The close was at a gain of i to c over yesterday. Cash oats were stronger and c higher. Provisions were under the spell of the advancing wheat market and sold up in unison With it. A strong hog market was also a factor, as was likewise the disposition to cover shown by shorts. The amount of business transacted was quite good, although nothing of unusual interest transpired. The close was 20c higher for- May pork. 10c higher for May lard, and 15c higher fgr May rbs,- Asked to Be Reported.

He says that if any fusion is made be tween the Populists and Republicans he will certainly canvass the State in oppo sition to it; that no true Republican can have any affiliation with the Populists, as they have nothing in common.

MYSTERIES! The Nervous System the Seat of Life and Mind. Recent Wonderful Discoveries. No mrsterv has ever comnared with that, of human life. It has been the leadlmz Rnhvvt of professional research and stu&y in ail ages. nun uubwiuistauifuig uutt it is not gener ally Known that the seat of life is loca ted in tne up per part of the spinal cord, near the base of the brain, and so sensi tive iq this portion of the nervous sys tem that even the prick of a needle will cause instant death. Recent discoveries h.e demonstrated that all tueorsjatis of the body are under the con trol of the nerve" centers, located in or near the base of the brain, and that when these are deranged the organs which they supply with nerve uuiu are also aerangea. wnen it is re membered that a serious iniurv to the sninal card will causa paralysis of the body below tne injured poinr uecause tne nerve rorce is prevented by the injury from reaching the n iralyzed portion, it will be understood how t'ae derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement "of the various organs which th6y supply with nerve force. Two-thirus ol chronic diseases are due to the Imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating in the organ it self. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the oran rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble. Da.
