justice.

reserve. He came to oiler in tue name
of Nicaragua peace aul liberty. Every
prosperity is desired by Nicaragua for
the people of the reserve an i the decree,
Madriz says, gives the strongest guaran
tees and highest privileges.
The decree grew out of a joint agree
ment of Madriz aud the British consul
for the government of the reserve until
parties to the treaty of i860 could arrange
details regarding the reserve. It pro
vides for the exercise of full power by
the provisional council, which is to
guarantee to all the inhabitants personal
safety, liberty, equality and property
rights existing heretofore.
No laws are to be made affecting the
established religions or religious cus
toms now existing. No military recruit
ment is to be made. The treaty of com
mercial reciprocity between Nicaragua
and the United States is extended to the
reserve. All acts of the provisional
council are to be passed on by the Nica
raguan commissioner, so that they will
not conflict with Nicaraguan laws.
The commissioner or a person selected
by him is to be chairman of the council
and all customs officers are to be ap

Washington, April 10.—The rainy

more sensational than the argument be

A Lnwy«r Willi an Elephant.
New Orleans, April 9.—A promi
nent lawyer of tho city has an elephant
on his hands, not the figurative article,
but a real live elephant. It came about
iu this way: Davis’ circus has been ex
hibiting in the lower portion of the city.
Business has been bad and the employes’
salaries became in arrears. Tile people
had to live and the animals had to be
fed, consequently money must be had.
Davis in his troubles consulted the law
yer, who agreed to advance the necessa
ry funds, taking the elephant as securi
ty. What is bothering the attorney just
at present is what to do with the beast
as it is eating him into poverty.
An Assault in Baltimore*
Baltimore, April 9. — Mrs. Julia
Burns, 35 years old, were criminally as
saulted on a public thoroughfare in this
city. She was found lying unconscious
on East Baltimore street, a sparsely set
tled locality, about noon, and taken to
her home on the Philadelphia read, nout
the city Hiatts. Ac a late hour she had
not regained consciousness, and was in
a critical condition. The police of the
city and annex will not talk about the
tiff air, and whether or not they have a
clue to the perpetrator can only be sur
mised.
Washington, April 9.—The Pollard-
Breckinridge trial opened with very few
persons present. Much to the surprise
ot most persons the plaintiff was pres
ent in the court room. After some time
spent in empanelling the new circuit
court jury Judge Bradley read his deci
sion with reference to the prayers for
instructions to the jury, which were
submitted by both sides Saturday. He
granted nine of the 14 prayers of the
plaintiff, modifying six of these, refused
four, aud decided that one was covered
by another prayer, thus practically
granting 10 of the 14 prayers. Six of
the 12 prayers of the defendant were
granted aud a substitute of Judge Brad
ley's for another accepted, thus making
seven prayers granted, five with modifi
cations, and the other five were refused.
After making his decision Judge Brad
ley said that while the burden of proof
rested on the plaintiff to show that a
contract to marry was entered into, as
the defendant set hp defense that as a
contract was not made in good faith the
burden of proof would rest upon him to
show that there was an agreement that
the contract was not to be carried out,
and that statements made iu the pres
ence of other parties were made with
this understanding by both parties.
Mr. Butterworth and Judge Wilson
each made an appeal to coart not to set
a limit of time on the argument and
Judge Bradley granted the requests
with the understanding that the counsel
would not take up too much time. Mr
Calderon Carlisle then began the open
ing argument for the plaintiff.

The Queen noil Crescent May Have Trouble
About May 1.
Chattanooga, April 9.—Ever since
the order was issued, March 8, by the
new lessees of the Queen and Crescent
system, declaring a 10 per cent reduc
tion in the wages of all employes after
May 1, suppressed excitement has been
veiy marked in all 1 ranches of the rail
road service. Sea ret information has
been obtained from a reliable source o'
a meeting o trainmen held at Somerset,
Ky., last Monday night. This is the
northern terminus of what is known
the mountain division of the Cincinnati
Southern road. At least 400 federated
railroaders, every order being largely m
attendance, were present.
Although most of those attending
came from the Mountain division, a few
were present from other sections of the
road, which were taken unaware by the
sadden call. The men were very much
in earnest, and with two exceptions
unanimously voted resolutions condemn
ing the cut as unjust and declaring it
the sense of the meeting that all hands
go out on May 1, (if the order is not re
called.
The conclave held a star chamber i
sion almost all night and the action has
been guarded with sealed lips. Trouble
will undoubtedly follow if the demands
are not respected. It was decided to
call a meeting of employee from the en
tire Queen and Crescent system to as
semble in Chattanooga or Birmingham
the latter part of April. To this end all
railway orders were directed to choose
delegates.

tween the speaker and Mr. Reed, assist
ed by Messrs. Outhwaite, Springer and
Dingley, rerativu to the report of the ser

Mr. Reed contended that it was a
question of privilege aud in order. This
was denied by the speaker. Mr. Spring
er sought to withdraw the motion to
discharge the sergeant at arms and Mr.
Reed denied his power to do so. This
raised the question of proceedure and

though the jury showed great interest
. Resuming his argument,
Carlisle took up that portion of the de
fense of Breckinridge in which he claim
ed he had not been intimate with the
ilaintiff for long periods, while Miss
Pollard testified that their relations
were continuous.
He said that the defendant admitted
he bad met the plaintiff one night itt-
November 1887 in this city, after a sep
aration for a long time, and that he
took a drive with her. This, Baid Car
lisle, coincided with the testimony of
Miss Pollard that the defendant had
met her at the time named and took
her to the honse of Aunt Mary MacKen-
zie, where in February following she
gave birth to toe babe which Breckin
ridge denied knowledge of.
Mr. Carlisle reviewed the testimony of
Mrs. Blackburn in relation to Colonel
Breckinridge’s promise of marriage, and
■aid:
“He has not spoken one word in con
tradiction of Mrs. Blackburn’s testi
mony. He tells yon her testimony is
true.'
Mr. Carlisle then referred to letters
written by parties in the case, the little
decorative basket, and the evidence of
Claude de la Roche Francis.
Mr. Carlisle proceeded to score the
defendant for hypocrisy. He had been
mau of great standing in the church,
said the lawyer; he had been a leader in
Sunday school and had addressed relig
ions gatherings, and yet he came into
oonrt and admitted that, in telling Mrs.
Blackburn and Major Moore of his en-
S igement to plaintiff, he had lied, and
at both he and the plaintiff had agreed
to lie abont the whole matter.
He came here, gentlemen,” said Mr.
Carlisle, “asking you to believe his un
supported word that there was no con
tract of marriage between them—his
unsupported word against that of repu
table witnesses and of the plaintiff; he
asks yon to believe his word after he
confessed that he arranged and
acted lies concerning that engagement.
In conclusion Carlisle asked the jury
to give the full amount claimed—$50,000.
“This, I asK you to give, gentlemen,
in the name of right and justice, reason
and parity—in the name of onr mothers,
of onr sisters and onr brothers, and if
the whole amount should be given you
will have done your part to pnt a stig
ma on snch conduct, and to effect the
only reparation that can be asked for by
this injured plaintiff.

Miss Ellis left the courtroom.
Colonel Thompson said he did not ex

bnt he did not think that a man should
be held responsible in a suit of this kind
for having been ihtimate with a woman
who was of ill repnte.
