MADELINE’S LETTER,
SHE SATS SHK HAS HO IDEA OH HO
IK O UPON THE STAGE.
Has Had Enough of Publicity—Breukinrldg*
Preparing for a New Trial—Judge Wil
son Receive* a Boquet of Flowers.
New York, April 16.—A morning paper
prints as a special from Washington a
statement from Miss Pollard in regard to
her intentions for the future as follows:
"Washington, D. C„ April 16.—As my
unfortunate case is now ended with a ver
dict in my favor 1 do not see why 1 may
not say how deeply and heartily 1 thank
the press of the United States in general
for all that has been said in tny behalf, and
how clearly I see and. admit justification
for much that has been said against me.
"I should like to say how deeply grateful
I am for the kind letters which have come
to me and to my counsel from all parts of
*ne United States during the terrible ordeal
trough which I have just passed.
"If the future holds anything for me, it
cannot be in the direction of publicity and
sensation. If my untrained literary ambi
tion is to receive any reward or justifica
tion it must come with labor and patience,
end I have no idea of going on the stage
or the lecture platform or otherwise ac
centuating the publicity which my unfor
tunate career has had in this trial.
"I have been applied to by various pub
lishers to edit a report of the trial, but I
have not brought myself to think that this
would be a wise step, and if I should take
It, It Will only be because I believe myself
able in a good sense to point the moral of
my misguided life and to awaken good
sentiments in the public rather than to
keep alive bad sensations.
"MADELINE POLLARD.’
BRECKINRIDGE AND HIS COUNSEL
Busy Preparing' Their Formal Motion
for a New Trial.
Washington, April 16.—Representative
Breckinridge and his counsel were en
gaged tms afternoon in preparing their
formal motion tor a new trial, which will
be presented to Judge Brauiey tomorrow.
This motion is a mere lorniality m the
way ol an appeal to the uistrict of ap
peals, tor no one entertains me slightest
idea thajt Judge Bradley will overrule me
jury and giant tliein a new trial, ine
Biutiuil. will be based upon me usual grounds
that the verdict was cuiiuuiy to law and
was contrary to me ev .uence, and tnat
the damages were excessive.
x'he counsel lor me ueiense will press
for a hearing on the motion at tile earliest
■possible day, as Attorney Hloil is anxious
to return to Kentucky, balurday is mo
tion nay m Judge mauley s court, but the
judge thinks ot taking a tnoi t vacation
for rest from his labors of the past mourn,
so that tne date lor the hearing is un
certain.
The docket of the court of at pea’s is
so crowded that it is quite probable the
appeal cannot be heard there before next
September, when tiie court meets lor its
fall term. The cost of an appe.il i-> tins
court is so great that it might well deter
the defense from prosecuting tni case fur
ther. It will be necessary to have printed
for the court, at the expense of the ap
pellant, a record of the proceedings in ii.e
circuit court, and this, considering the
length of suen a document, will be a heavy
expense in itself.
Judge Wilson io the Women.
Judge Jere M. Wilson, whose ckquent
plea tor the advancement of women in the
closing speech for Madeline P • ' ard gained
for him a fine bouquet of La Fran-.- res..-
from Miss Mary Desna, .sister o’. Colonel
Breckinridge’s late wife, Mrs. Dan Waugh,
Miss Nettie L. White, Miss Louisa Lowell
and others. He has sent the following
letter ot acknowledgement:
"1712 1 Streit, Aprd li>, 1894.—My Dear
Miss White: I beg that you wifi. receive
for and communicate to the twenty-eight
women mentioned m your note my thanks
for the Howers; and I beg you, also, to
assure them that, loA’.ig back over a
long professional career, ►oon to close,
there is nothing m it ail that will be more
gratifying to me than to lav ? it said,
that I have contributed to the advance
ment if women and the establtshmem <•.
a moral and social .-ode that will visit
upon the offending man the same measure
of condemnation that it visits upon the
offending woman.
"So far as 1 have the names of these
kind ladies, I have tddresfd to th-m
notes of acknowledgement, which I hand
you herewith and which 1 beg you to do
me the favor to so direct ,o mat tl ey
will reach their intended destinati-ns. Ctry
respectfully > J- WILSON.’’
The note which accompanied me Howers,
and to which the above was a renly, was
as follows:
"April 11, 1894.—Dear Mr. Wilson: These
flowers are sent to you as a mark of ap
preciation of the stand vou took yc-ttrcay—
for one code of morals for man and wo
man, and also for the advancement of
woman in an acti'e >;:rt in tne wo’-'d in
•which we all have an equal interest—by
twenty-eight women. With tespect and
gratitude most sincerely,
"NETTIE LOUISA WHITE.”
Breckinridge'* Motion.
Washington, April 17.—Counsel for Con
gressman W. C. P. Breckinridge today
filed a motion for a new trial of Madeline
Pollard’s suit against their client. The
reasons given in the motion are as follows:
1. Because the verdict is contrary to the
evidence.
2. Because the evidence is insufficient in
law to sustain said verdict.
3. Because the verdict is against the
weight of evidence.
4. Because the damages awarded by the
jury were excessive.
5. For errors of law founded on the ex
ceptions reserved during the trial and
noted on the minutes of the justice who
tried the case.
6. For errors of law in granting the writ
ten instructions prayed by the plaintiff’s
counsel and in refusing instructions prayed
by counsel for the defendant.
7. For errors of law contained in the
charge of the court to the jury.
8. For errors of the court in commenting
on the evidence of witnesses and on wit
nesses whose testimony was offered on the
trial.
9. For specific errors to be assigned here
after on the hearing of this motion.
The motion is signed by Butterworth &
Dowell, John T. Shelby, William McKinney
and Ph.l B. Thompson, counsel for defense.
It is probable that the argument on the
motion for a new trial filed by Colonel
Breckinridge’s attorneys will not be heard
this week. Judge Bradley will set a (lay af
ter consultation with the counsel on bv th
sides. As he is not likely to ov J id ? 1-s
own decisions, the motion will probably be
carried to the court of appeals.
The Jurors Talk.
The members of the Pollard-Breckinridge
jury have nearly all of them talked freely
about the reasons that induced them to de
clare in favor of the plaintiff. AU agree
that the testimony of Mrs. Blackburn, Ma
jor Moore and Claude Francis influenced
them in their decision. It appears from the

story told by the members of the jury that
there was not one ballot cast in favor of
Colonel Breckinridge, as was reported just
after the verdict was rendered, but that one
juror, Dr. A. M. Greene, refused to vote
on the only ballot taken until’certain points
in the case had been discussed. A few min
utes after the jury reached the jurv room
and before any discussion had begun, Fore
man Cole asked how many were in favor of
giving .the case to the plaintiff, and eleven
hands went up.
Dr. GreAie sat with folded arms, but he
told his Jellow jurymen that his refusal to
vote did not mean he was in favor of the
defendant. At his request, the evidence
was discussed for a short time, and then
Dr. Greene cast his vote with the others.x,
"I don’t see how else the jury could have
acted,” he said.
There was a wide range in the amounts
named by the jurors for damages to the
plaintiff. One member wanted to give sl,
another SIO,OOO, and another $30,000. Several
jurors named $15,000, and as that was about
the average, it was adopted by the jury.

Breckinridge Has Made Arrangements
for a Speech at Lexington.
Lexington, Ky.. April 18.-A letter was
rece.ved esterday front Colonel Breckin
ridge by <ne of his friends here asking the
latter to engage the opera house, saying
he would be in this city at noon, May sth,
and would deliver his opening speech here.
The entries to the congressional race are
now no doubt all in, and Breckinridge,
Owens and Settle will be the starters.
Breckinridge’s friends are coming to his
aid with cards in the papers. One of the
morning papers here contained six cards
for him, ard none against him.

HE DECEIVED HER.
Mr*. Breckinridge Condition Cause* Her
Friends to be Uneasy.
Washington, D. C., April 15.—[Special,]—
The Washington News tonight prints the
following: “Mrs. Breckinridge, formerly
Mrs. Wing, the wife of the defendant in the
now famous Breckinridge-Pollard breach of
promise suit, is said to be in a condition
which is causing her friends great uneasi
ness. From an authoritative source it has
been learned that just prior to the com
mencement of the present suit Breckin
ridg assured his wife upon the memory ot
Ids sainted mother that the charges brought
against him by Miss Pollard were wholly
false, and that the whole case was a piece
ot blackmail.
"Upon the strength of this statement
Mrs. Breckinridge, who had, up to the
time of the presentation of the defendant’s
case, profound confidence in her husband
and his honor, made what might be termed
a present to him of all her earthly posses
sions.
■'.Mr. Wing, the first husband of Mrs.
Wing, was at one time a man ot consider
able means. When he died he left Mrs.
Wing a fortune consisting of about $40,0110
worth of property, read estate, and other.
Some of this tertune Mrs. Wing had al
ready expended when she married Colonel
Breckinridge. It is understood that when the
suit was brought by Miss Pollard Mrs.
Breckinridge transferred her entire proper
ty, including an insurance on her former
husband’s life, to the colonel, that he
might properly present his side of the case.
Almost Prostrated.
"When Colonel Breckinridge frankly con
fessed on the witness stand the nature of
his relations with Miss Pollard it nearly
prostrated Mrs. Breckinridge. The fact that
Colonel Breckinridge, as he admitted on the
witness stand, was so closely associated
with Madeline Pollard within a few days
of the time that he married his present
wife is said to have caused a feeling of re
vulsion in I'.reck'iiriilge’s ir.ind.
"When Colonel Breckinridge married Mrs.
Wing at the residence of Dr. Paxton, in
New York, at the earnest suggestion of the
bridegroom the marriage was kept secret.
Colonel Breckinridge said when giving his
testimony in relation to this fact that his
idea was to keep his marriage a secret in
order that his wife might have di opportu
nity to make friends with his children be
fore the marriage was publicly announced.
Miss Pollard was in New York only a few
days previous to the ceremony, and the
friends of Mrs. Breckinridge now assert
with some degree of confidence that the
colonel kept the marriage a secret to pre
vent any interference on the part of Miss
Pollard.
"Mrs. Breckinridge is now living at No.
1725 Q street, N. W., and, since the in
criminating admissions of her husband, is a
changed woman. She denies herself to call
ers except two or three very close friends
who are in deep sympathy with her in her
unfortunate position. She has been rarely
seen In public since the beginning of the
suit and never in company with Colonel
Breckinridge.”

From The New York Sun.
Breckinridge’s majority in the last con
gressional election was about 7,000 and the
vote for him was 16,588. The "aggressive
campaign” for renomination and re-election
to congress which he now intends to begin
in the seventh district of Kentucky will be
interesting to watch. Will he make it on
tariff reform? Will he run on the income
tax? Perhaps it will be a campaign of edu
cation designed to teach the decent demo
crats of Bourbon, Fayette, Franklin, Henry,
Oldham, Owen, Scott and Woodford coun
ties that they owe a vindication at the
polls to the man wno testified:
"1 lived only four squares away on the

TWO MEN SHOT DOWN.
A Bartender Picks Up a Gun and Use*
It with Deadly Effect.
Nashville, Tenn., April 19.—(Special.)—
Thomas Ramsey’s saloon, on the corner
of South Market and Demoinbreuin streets,
was the scene of a horrible double murder
at 7:30 o’clock tonight. Riley Foreman and
Thomas Fagan were siiot and instantly
killed. Thomas Ramsey did the killing,
while standing beiiind the bar. and used a
double barreled shotgun. Ramsey had
Fagan arrested a few days ago for dis
orderly conduct, and Fagan, in turn, haa
Ramsey arrested on a charge of gaming.
The case was compromised, however, and
there was no more trouble until this even
ing, when Ramsey, Fagan and Foreman be
came involved in a quarrej because Fore
man had attempted to prevent Ramsey’s
interfering in a fight between two boys in
the saloon. It was thought this quarrel was
settled. Fagan and Foreman, who were
then in the room back of the bar. started
out of the house through the bar. Ramsey
walking t-i the front end of the bar, picked
up a shotgun and tired both barrels, one
immediately after the other. The first
charge struck Foreman, then in the rear
door of the bar, and the second struck
Fagan, who was about five feet in front
of Foreman. Both men were shot in the
breast, and died instantly. Ramsey was
arrested. The verdict of the coroner’s jury
was simply that the men came to their
death from gunshot wounds at Ramsey’s
hands. Fagan was a stone mason and Fore
man a fisherman. Both men were single,
and each about twenty-nine years old.
CYCLONE IN MISSOURI.

Memphis, Tenn., April 19.—Late yesterday
afternoon a cyclone swept over Summer

the damage done by the cyclone is not
known, it being nearly impossible to get

Then, immediately afterwards, the deputy

In fl is Nat ive State.
Raleigh, N. C„ April 17.—The special
funeral train bearing the remains of tne
late Senator Zebulon B. Vance, after a lull
night’s travel, arrived here at 9:30 o clock
this morning, over the Richmond and Dan
ville railroad. Thousands of his old com
rades and followers received all that was
left of the most popular man the state has
probably ever produced. The train was
composed of two elegant Pullman sleepers
and private car No. 100 of the president of
the road. It reached Danville at early
dawn and hundreds were out to demon
strate the affection for the sister state. At
Greensboro and other points along the route
the immense crowds could hardly be pressed
aside from the car which contained the re
mains. Before Durham was reached the
toiling of bells from the great Durham to
bacco works and the appearance of haif
maste'd flags bore evidence of her grie F ,
while an anxious multitude of old veterans
pressed in to see their “Zeb,” and it was
with difficulty they were forced from th
cai s.
At Greenesboro Hon. John L. King, presi
dent pro tern, of the state senate, joined
the party; ex-Governor Thomas M. Holt
at Haw river, and Hon. Julian S. Carr at
Durham, the latter the patriotic and
wealthy president of the Blackwell’s Dur
ham Tobacco Company, claiming the honor
to head the list for the erection of a hand
some monument to the memory o? the
deceased.
The funeral cortege moved back to the
train at 4 o’clock, and at 4:30 o'clock It
left for Asheville, where the remains are
to be interred tomorrow. The train will
stop half an hour at Durham, and an hour
and a half at Greensboro, where the peo
ple can view the remains.
BURIAL OF SENATOR VANCE.
•'Our Zeb” Laid to Rest In the Ceme
tery nt Asheville.
Acheville, N. C., April IS.—At the hour of
noon today the remains of the late Senator
Zebulon B. Vance were deposited In their
resting place overlooking the beautiful
French Broad river in tills land of the
sky—a fitting spot for the last repose of
this great man.
The funeral train arrived just after dawn
from Raleigh with committees of both
houses of congress, the governor and other
officers ot state, and three cars of distin
guished friends of the dead senator.
The Asheville Light Infantry escorted the
remains from the train to the church, and
mounted guard over them while the rever
ent crowd passed to take a last look at
the beloved familiar face. The scene was
especially touching when the confederate
Veterans took leave of their old commander.
After these came several of the senator's
old slaves.
Mrs. Vance spent a half hour in private
v itli her dead husband and asked that she
be the last one to. see his face.
The c..i_inony at the grave was exceed
ingly solemn and was conducted by Rev.
Dr. Campbell, of the First Presbyterian
church, after which the floral offerings
were gracefully placed, and thus North
Carolina buried a son whose place may lie
partly filled in the council of the nation,
but never in the hearts of her people.
LOVED BY THE CONVICT.
A Murderer Weep* at tiie Bier of Sen
ator Vance.
Raleigh, N. C., April I£.—(Special.)—An
affecting incident in connection with the
Vance ceremonies was told The Constitu
tion’s correspondent today by penitentiary
officials.
For eighteen years Andy Wineccff has
been tn the prison. He was convicted of
murder eighteen years ago in Robeson
county, but Vance secured a commutation
of his death sentence to life imprisonment.
Andy always had a deep anti abiding love
for his benefactor. He is now an old man,
employed at the prison office. Yesterday
he begged to be allowed to look upon
Vance's face. His request was granted,
and Officers Ledbetter and Bernear took
him in a buggy to the capitol, where he
viewed the beloved face for the last time.
Andy was almost overcome, and no man
in all the great throng shed more genuine
tears of sorrow.

Are they who recommend the use of mer

those who follow such advice. Blue pill
and calomel poison the system. Hostetter’s I
Stomach Bitters is a safe substitute for
such dangerous drugs. Tney arouse the |
liv°r when inactive most effectually, and
promote, not imperil, general health. Con
stipation, malar -i, dyspepsia, rheumatism 1
yield to the Bitters.

IN OLD VIRGINIA. (
The Seay Scandal at I.ynebburg May Pro
date More sensations. *
Richmond, Va., April 17.—(Special.)—
The impression prevails here that there will : I
yet be some far more interesting develop
ments in connection with the Lynchburg I
military scandal than were brought out
in the investigation made recently by Cap- ‘
tain George Wayne xlndvrson, who was de- .
tailed by Governor O’Ferrail to go to the ’
Hill City for tiiat purpose. Captain Ander- .
son’s report wm be mid o lore me governor ; 4
in a lew days mid there is no sort of doubt I
that it will fuily exonerate Captain .m. |
Seay, of tiie Lyneeburg Artillery Blues,
at whom it is generally believed that tiie 1
charges made to tiie council were aimed.
But it is not thought that Seaj and his
friends will be satisfied with this. Ade- j
termined light has been made on him ever
since he was cashiereu a year or two ago, ,
when he paraded with another company as- (
ter tiie troop of cavalry m which lie was ,
an officer jxxrcl been ordered not to turn ,
out. ’1 ae men re-elected him at once, but |
the other military objected and alter con- .
siderable discussion and feeling he was
turned down by the military examining
board. Then, when Seay was elected captain
of the battery two or three months ago,
great pressure was brought to bear on Gov- c
ernor O’Ferrail to induce him to withhold , i
the commission. His excellency was satis- c
fled, however, that the young officer was 1
entitled to his commission and issued it, t
despite tiie formal protest sent from a meet- '
ing of Lynchburg oliicers. a
It is said now that proceedings, either in I I
the nature of courtmartial or civil suit, may j 1
be brought against those who are responsi- | I
ble for connecting Captain Seay’s name ! I
with the immoral act committed in the ; 1
Lynchburg armory. A member of the bat- i t
tery admitted that lie was in the building, , i
but there was absolutely no evidence } t
against Seay. a
Vv hire tne scheme of Colonel William |
Lamb, of Norfolk, for reviving the old |
whig party on uie principles held by the f
old whigs, has been the subject of a good 1
deal of comment and newspaper discussion <
throughout the suite, very little importance i
is attached to it. Colonel Lamb is a man
of fine parts and would prove a magnetic
leader, but with the democratic, republican,
populist and prohibition part.es there hardly
seems to be room .or another. Any move
ment would, of course, operate against the
dominant or democratic party and the op
position might have a good lighting chance
ii’ it embraced' all the elements not in
harmony with the democrats. The republi
cans have been very inac.ive for the last
two years and might now give their support
to the Lamb poodle but for the fact that
their chances of outsing their old enemy
would be far better in a coalition with the ’
populists.
