BIO CROWD SHOULD B£ HERB
ON THE 23d
ROBERT H. LAMPKIN DIES
NEW ORLEANS.
TO HIE ATKINSON AND EVANS.
The Only Joint Debate in
Northeast Georgia—Rail
roads Will Give Re
duced Rates.
Hon. W Y- Atkinson and General
Clement A. Evans, the two candidates
Ur gubernatorial honors, will meet on
the boatings in this city on.tbe 231 in
stant. *
And as this is the only Joint debate
between these gentlemen in Northeast
Georgia there is considerable interest
being taken in it by the people of this
section.
The arrangements have not yet been
completed on this subject, but a com
mittee of gentlemen from hath sides
will meet in a few days and arrange
every particular.
The speaking will take place at 11
o'clock in the morning and General
Evans will open the debate in a speech
of one hour and ten minntee, followed
by Mr. Atkinson in a speeoh of an hour
and a half, General Evans concluding
in twenty minutes.
The chairman of the meeting will be
agreed upon by the friends of both can
didates in this city.
This will be the only opportunity in
all prodapility of hearing both candi
dates together in this section and large
croiids will come from all the neigh
boring counties.
The Northeastern road has already
signified its willingness to give reduoed
rates on that day and the other roads
will doubtless do the same thing.
If the day is fair and the proper rail- 1
road accommodation can be secured
there will be a big crowd in Athens to
hear the joint debate.

Serious Difficulty.
On Jackson & Vincent’s farm on the

into a dispute about the stock on the
place, when words led to blows and
cuts.
Both parties were oat up right
sharply, and it was reported at first
that Mr. Craft was in a dangerous con

when Dr. Whaley was called to see him
and dressed his wdundsthat he tbonght
the patient would be out in a few days.
The negro’s wounds were slight.

Chief Justice Stone Dead.
Montgomery, Ala., March 12.—Jndge
George W. Stone, chief justice of the
state supreme court, died Sunday morn
ing at his residence in this city. Old
age was the primary troubler but the
immediate cause of his death was heart
failure. Judge Stone was a native of
Virginia, having been born in Bedford
county, that state, Oct. 24, 1811. His
parents removed to Lincoln connty,Ten-
neese, in 18W.

SOON TO FIRE UP.
Six Thousand Men In the Coke Regions
Will Get Work.
Greensburg, Pa., March 12.—Infor
mation from a prominent official of the
H. C. Frick Coke company
ia / to the
effect that within two weeks nearly
every '. eke oven in the Connelsville region
will be fired up. The move will cover
atleast 90 per cent of all the ovens in
the region; more, it can he said, than
have been in operation for three years
past.
At the very lowest estimate 6;000
men who are now idle will be given em
ployment.
The Hungarion and foreign element
generally in the Connellsville region, it
appears, was never so scarce as now,
because hundreds have left within the
past few months for their foreign homes.
This fact will largely involve the em
ployment of American labor at the
works. This move on the part of the
Frick Coke company, it is also stated, is
bronght about by the great volume of
orders coming from furnace companies
and mills m various parts of the coun
try.
The McClure Coke company will also,
it is reliably stated; increase the percent
age of working ovens fully 60 per cent,
thus giving employment to about 1,500
men who are now idle.

Washington, March 13.—The pros
pect of hearing Miss Madeline V. Pol
lard tell her side of the story in her suit
against Congressman Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, for breach of promise had
the effect of materially augmenting the
crowd of people who have endeavored
daily, sines the trial began, to gain ad
mittance to the courtroom. Miss Pol
lard’s excited behavior Friday had whet
ted the appetites of lovers of sensational
testimony, but under the ruling of Jndge
Bradley, persons not having an interest
the case, either professionally or as
witnesses, were not allowed to enter the
courtroom. This resolution was not
strictly carried out, for the bailiffs,
while able to resist the persuasion of the
mencomera,-could not resist the impor
tunities of the gentler sex, and 14 wo
men, young and old, were the objects of
special attention in the courtroom when
members of the bar began filing in.
The female spectators sat to the left of
the presiding jndge on benches cor
responding to and facing the jury seats.
Four of them were young girls—pretty
girls—who laughed and chatted gaily.
mirk Pollard entered the courtroom at
10 o’clock, attended by Miss Eliis, of the
Episcopal Home of Mercy, and a lady
friend from Cincinnati, who sat beside
her throughout Friday's hearing.
Miss Pollard was dfessed as on her
first appearance in the courtroom. She
said “Good morning” to her counsel,
and laughed at something Judge Wilson
said. Bnt the smile died on her face as
the man whom she is prosecuting enter
ed the room at the doorway directly in
the line of her vision. Miss Pollard
quickly recovered herself, however, and
went on chatting with Judge Wilson.
Colonel Breckinridge took a seat al
most behind and about six-feet from
Miss Pollard. Fourteen women were,
by the direction of the court, requested
to leave the room. They looked sur
prised, and filed out shamefacedly.
Mr. Carlise opened the proceedings by
stating that there was a preliminary
matter that'shonld be cleared np before
proceedings began. He referred to the
production of four volumes of Washing
ton Irving, over which-there was a mys
terious sparring between opposing conn
sel Friday.
Jndge Bradley said that books were
evidently part of the deposition of Sis
ter Angostine, of Cincinnati, and as
each were snject to inspection by both
sides just as any other depositions could
be inspected. Major Butterwortb madS
farther argument in favor of keeping
books sealed, bnt Jndge Bradley dis
missed the qnestion with the statement
that the “order of court will stand."
The first witness was a young man
named Condert de LaRoche Francis,
who testified that he met Miss Pollard
at 1817 H street, this city. He had call
ed there frequently and had met Colonel
Breckinridge there. Miss Pollard told
him of her engagement to Colonel Breck
inridge. Colonel Breckinridge asked her
if he (Francis) knew of their engage
ment. She told him she had told wit
ness of it.
At the conclusion of witness’ evidence
the court took a recess for an honr.
Dr. Tobe Johnson, a prominent pi
cian, took the stand and testified that
on May 24, 1893, Miss Pollard sent for
him and he went to see her at 1819 H
street. She had symptoms of miscarriage
jn progress. He attended her tnrongh
her miscarriage and for a week after
wards. He identified- the letters, writ
ten by Mr. Breckinridge to Miss Pollard,
one of them telling her to* get a room
and send him the price, etc., and another
to make herself comfortable in Wash
ington and not go to the sanitarium.

Crowds Anxious to Get in—Ruin or of
Breckinridge’s Latest Defense.
Washington, March 13.—The crowd
that surged about the circuit controom
for half an hour prior to the beginning
of the day’B session of the Pollarii-
Breckinridge trial was greater than on
any day since tbe trial began. Tnis
augmentation in spectators was fine
principally to a desire to ascertain the
action of Judge Bradley on the face
slapping episode of the previous session.
There were other reasons too, for the
expectancy of a sensational session.
The report that Colonel Bjvdfiuridge
wonld make the defense tnht he had
been married to Mrs. Wing previous to
the date Miss Pollard alleges he. became
engaged to her, and the sensationaLexit.
of Miss Pollard yesterday whetted the'
appetite of the public and made the
courtroom more attractive than evendho
houses of congress Under J nilge Brad
ley’s order only members of the bar.
witnesses, and working newspaper men
were admitted to the court room,-out
the press of lawyers demanding admit
tance was so great that the chamber was
nearly filled before tbe case was called.
Immedtately after court was called to
order Judge Bradley took up the face
slapping incident which took place just
after the previous session adjourned?
He decided that as the affafr occurred
outside the courtroom and after adjourn
ment. he had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter, He, at the same time, stated he
had heard that some of the eojjnsel .for
the defendant were carrying concealed
weapons, and cautioned them that this
was a Iawabiding community, and such
proceedings would not be tolerated.
Each of the counsel for the defendant
entered the disclaimer and the hearing
of the case was resumed. Miss Pollard
was not present.
The day’s proceedings began with
little victory for the defense in a contro
versy over the admission of the deposi
tions taken in Lexington the day before
the trial commenced, and which led to-
the recent affray between the counsel,
Jnstice Bradley sustained the Objec
tions of the defense against the admis
sion of the depositions as evidence. Mr.
Carlisle then asked that the deposi
tion of Mary S. Logan, of Cincinnati,
formerly Dr. Mary L. Sweet, be admit
ted. Mr. Butterworth objected and an
other legal controversy ensued. Judge
Bradley overruled the objections" of the
defense and admitted the deposition ~~
evidence. ,
Mr. Carlisle then read the deposition
in which Mrs. Logan said she attended a
young woman who gave her name as
Mrs. Monlba Burgoyne, in 1884. This
was while Mrs. Logan was Dr. Sweet, a
practicing physician of Cincinnati-.
Miss Pollard was present while the
depositions were being taken, but Mrs
Logan said that while there were some
things about Miss Pollard that suggested
Mrs. Burgoyne, she could not identify
her. The young woman said she was
pregnant with her first child, saying
her husband was dead, and acting
though there were some family reasons
why the matter should be kept secret.
The young woman called twice at her
office, later deponent called to see her,

About Breckinrlde’s Marriage.
Cincinnati, March 13.—Advices re
ceived by The Tribune from Louisville
and Lexington deny the rumors that
Colonel Breckinridge was married to his
present wife, formerly Mrs. Wing, at
New York, three weeks prior to the
marriage at Louisville. The family of
Mrs. Wing is a very prominent one in
Kentucky, and a member of it has given

K lt ia not unusual for colds contracted
the fall months to hang on all winter
or as soon as a person is over one cold
to contract another. This succession of
colds is what causes chronic catarrh
and bronchitis. One or the other of
these diseases is almost certain to be
the result. For this reason it is of
much importance that colds contracted
at this season of the year receive prompt
attention. They oan be quiokly cored
if Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is
nsed. It acts on natare’s plan, loosens
the cold,- aids expeotoration, and re
lieves the fangs, soon affecting a per
manent cure. 25 and 60 cent bottles
