reservoir brOkc its barriers, and the water
swept down upon the ranches and villages,
carrying destruction and ruin in its path.
This reservoir was constructed of solid
masonry at the head of Indian creek and
was heretofore thought to be a veritable
Gibraltar. Hyde &- Jackson, New York
capitalists, backed the enterprise and
built it as a water supply for the celebrat-
ed fishard farm of 6:10 acres that recently
was set out in Idaho prunes and bonded
for $80,000.
The reservoir covered 500 acres of lane
and was said to contain water sufficient to
irrigate many thousand acres. It cost 50,-
000 to build it.
The country between Bysuka and Cald-
well is all under water. Every railroad

were sent at breakneck speed 011 horseback

A mighty wall of water came sweeping
down Indian creek, bearing on its bosom
houses, barns, farming utensils, live stock.

on both sides of the creek.
The citizens of Nampa, a little, town on

BANK OF ENGLAND LOSSES.
Governor Powell Says £250,000 Have Beer.
Set Aside to llIcet Them.
LONDOY, March 16.—-—At the meeting 01
the directors of the Bank of England to-
day a statement was submitted by Mr.
David Powell, the governor of the bank,
in which he expressed regret at the neces-
sity for the removal of Frank May, the
chief cashier.
Mr. May, he said, was removed, though
allowed to resign, for exceeding his author-
ity and committing great irregularities in
regard to making advances to certain cus-
tomers. In one case he had made a con-
siderable overdraft without the authority
or even the knowledge of the governor,
and contrary to the rules of the bank he
had indulged in transactions on the Stock
Exchange which had resulted in grave pe-
cuniary difficulty.
Mr. Powell said that the system of ad-
vances hitherto pursued had been thor-
oughly changed. It was impossible to es-
timate the full amount of the bank’s losses
from Mr. May’s transactions, but the sum
of £250,000 has been set aside to meet them.
. Since August, 188-1, Mr. Powell said, the
liabilities to the bank of the firm of Baring
Bros. & (30., which failed last summer,
had been reduced by £065,000. The prog-
ress in reducing the Barings’ indebtedness
to the bank had not been equal to expecta-
tions, but the reduction had been steady,
and the present general position of the
bank is no less satisfactory than it was six
months ago. All of the securities which
the bank now holds are gilt edged. It does
not hold and has not held any of the secur-
ities of financial trust companies.

UN IMPORTANT INGIDENTS.
The Single Sensational Event “'ns Fur-
nished by the Evidence of a Colored
\Voman, and That- \Vas Against
Colonel Breckinridge.
VVASHINGTOX, March 16.—A light mulat-
to woman dressed in mourning occupied a
seat next to Miss Pollard’s lawyers in the
circuit court today and looked curiously
at Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard
as they entered the courtroom. She was
the first witness called to the stand, and
her examination was conducted by Mr.
Farrell, the young Lexington attorney,
who had assisted Messrs. Carlisle and
Johnson in taking depositions in Ken-
tucky.
A0cording to the woman’s story, she had
been born a slave in Alabama 56 years ago,
had lived in Lexington “sence durin the
war” for 25 or 26 years, a slight discrepan-
cy in the matter of time. Sarah Gess, for
she was the woman over whose deposition
there was trouble ‘in Kentucky, had
“knowed Curnel Breckinridge since I was
a little girl.”
\Vhen Mr. Farrell asked if Colonel Breck-
inridge had ever visited her house accom-
panied by any person, Attorney Shelby
objected that the question should connect
Colonel Breckinridge’s companion with
the plaintiff, a point which Judge Bradley
said was well taken.
“Do you know Miss Pollard?” inquired
the attorney.
£€I do.”
“Do you see her here?”
Rising, the colored woman pointed out
the plaintiff in black and resumed her
seat. Ten years ago, she continued, Colo
nel Breckinridge had begun to visit her
house on Broad street in Lexington with
Miss Pollard. Before the first visit he had
called one Thursday in the summer time
to ask that Miss Pollard be. kept there from
Friday to Monday, ‘3. request which was
first refused because the witness had nc
room. but was finally agreed upon. Fri-
day night just at dark the pair came, and
Colonel Breckinridge was in the front
room with Miss Pollard until 11 o’clock.
Colonel Breckinridge knocked on the mid-
dle door for the woman to let him out
when he was ready to go.
Breckinridge Kissed Her.
“She was in the bed with llt‘l' nightdrcss
on,” said the witness. "lle kissed her and
bid her good night, putting his arm around
her.” . '
Saturday night and Sunday night Colo-
nel Breckinridge had repeated his visits,
each night kissing Miss Pollard goodby
in the presence of the colored woman. The
bed gave evidence of having been occupied
each night. She (Miss Pollard) was in it,
and it was rumpled up. the witness ex-
plained. Sunday night Colonel Breckin-
ridge had said that Miss Pollard must get
down to the depot early in the morning to
take the first train, and the. witness had
overheard him say that she was to meet
Mr. Rhodes there.
-Mr. Farrell asked the opinion of Sarah
Gess as to the age of Miss Pollard at that
time, a question object-ed to by the de-
fense, admitted by the judge, an exception
noted and the answer given as follows:
“She had dresses up to the tops of her
shoes—a schoolgirl’s dress—and seemed tr.
be about 17 or 18. Sometimes she wort-
her hair down her back in a plait.”
“Had Miss Pollard ever visited your
house before that time she came with Colo-
nel Breckinridge?” asked the attorney. ~=
“No, sir.”
“Had Colonel Breckinridge ever visited
there before?”
This question raised a breeze. Attorney
Shelby was on his feet instantly, objecting.
The spectators leaned forward eagerly,
while Sarah spoke up clearly:
“Yes, sir.” .
J udg'e Bradley sustained the objection,
and the question and answer wercstrickcn
from the record. Colonel Thompson of-
fered the explanation that the witness had
said that Col::-nel Breckinridge had visited
her before to make arrangements for bring
ing Miss Pollard there. but nevertheless
the audience snickercd over the answer.
“Did Miss Pollard ever come there with
any one but Colonel Breckinridge?” asked
the lawyer. .
“No, sir,” was the answer.
The pair had visited her house about 5C
times. A year ago last fall Colonel Breck-
inridge had come there asking to bring
Miss Pollard again, but the witness re
fused, declaring she was not taking peopl
in any longer, although Colonel Breckin
ridge insisted that witness was the only
woman Miss Pollard would trust herself
with:
A Sensation.
Then the witness created a sensation by
relating that Colonel Breckinridge had vis-
ited her last summer after the suit had
been filed; had told her he hoped she would
have nothing to do with the case, to which
she had replied that she must tell the
‘_.truth. Colonel Breckinridge had inquired
where Mary Scott and Mary Wilson were,
saying that he wanted them kept out 01
the way. He had also asked if Miss Pol-
lard ever came to the house with Colonel
Swope, and witness had assured him that
he was the only man Miss Pollard had ever
met there. _
The visits of Colonel Breckinridge and
Miss Pollard to Sarah’s house, the witness
testified, had extended over a period of
three or four years.
Colonel Shelby began the cross examina-
tion by inquiring: -
“Sarah, how long have you been keep
ing an assignation house in the city 01
Lexington?” whereupon Sarah rolled her
eyes to the ceiling and responded. “Ninteen
years,” in a matter of fact way.
“Who brought you here?”
“Mr. Farrell telegraphed for me to come.”
“How long have you known Mr. Far-
rell?” was the next question.
“Oh, ever since he was a young man
answered the witness, a reply which drew
a. visible blush to the cheeks of the attor-
ney because the audience persisted in smil-
ing. . ~
The first visit of Colonel Breckinridge
and Miss Pollard had been ‘in the latter
part of August, and Sarah Gess understood
that the girl had been brought from school,
as most schools were closed from Friday to
Monday. '
Colonel Breckinridge had said that the
girl came on a train.
The next witness was a Well dressed lady
—Lucretia Marie Minear of VVaShington—
~whose voice trembled as- she announced
. that she had lived at 25 Lafayette square,
the fashionable" boarding house between

the Cosmos club and Senator Don Cam
eron’s residence, and but .one door frOm
the Blaine mansion, where Miss Pollard
had boarded in 1892 and 1893. Colbne}
Breckinridge had often visited Miss Pol
lard at the house. ’
The witness, it appeared, was the land.
lady of the Lafayette square house Which
had been illuminated by the presence oi
Mr. Claude de la Roche Francis, cousin of
Mr. “Ward McAllister and nephew of the
Marquis de la Roche. chamberlain to the
pope. Mrs. Minear had last seen Miss
Pollard walking in the park with Colonel
Breckinridge in April or May of 1893. On
two occasions Colonel Breckinridge had
brought Miss Pollard home in the evening
at 9 or half past. For the second time the
name of Colonel Breckinridge’s wife was
brought into the trial when Mr. \Vilson
asked if the witness could remember where
the late Mrs. Breckinridge had died, but
the witness could not.
Mrs. Kate “7. Burt, a stout, middle aged
lady, a clerk in the land office, had boarded
at Thirteenth and F streets. \Vhen Mr.
‘Vilson asked it Miss Pollard had lived
there and under what name, Mrs. Burt ex-
pressed a desire to see Miss Pollard.
The plaintiff had just left the court--
room with her companion, and Mr. Carlisle
hastened after her, but did not return.
Mr; W'ilson explained that Miss Pollard
was not feeling well, and he had advised
her to go to her room. So the witness was
excused until 2 o’clock. Soon, however,
Miss Pollard returned, and Judge W'ilson
went in search of the witness and Mr. Car-
lisle.
Mrs. Burt recognized Miss Pollard; said
that she lived at Fifteenth and F streets
for 10 days in October, 1887', under the
name of Mrs. Foster. The witness had
seen Colonel Breckinridge at the door
twice, and he had gone to Mrs. Foster’s
room on tlw third floor.
“Do ym: l w what Mrs. Foster’s condi-
tion was--..'hether there were indications
that she was. about to become a mother?”
asked Mr. Wilson.
“Yes,” was the almost inaudible reply.
“Did Colonel Breckinridge ask if Sam
Walter of Kentucky was living there?”
asked Colonel Thompson on cross exam-
ination, to which Mrs. Burt said he had,
1... 1.1at Sam \Valter was dead.
Another Deposition.
After this Mr. Carlisle partly emptied
the courtroom by beginning to read a. depo—
sition. Judge Bradley requested him to
wait “until the audience had dispersed,”
expressing his gratification, as the exodus
would result in better air.
The deposition was by Mrs. M. A.
Ketchum of Lexington, with whom Miss
Pollard had boarded in 1884, 1885 and
1886, during the time she attended Sayre
institute. Mr. Rhodes had called to see
Miss Pollard, meeting her in the sitting
room, and the impression had existed, al-
though nothing was said about it, that he
was assisting her in her education. Once
Miss Pollard had inquired if a paper
signed by herself and her mother would
be binding. Miss Pollard had left the
house for five months in 1883, returning in
July. The first child, it is asserted, was
born during this time. The name of Pro-
fessor J amcs Lane Allen, the well known
Kentucky novelist, was mentioned by the
examining attorney as one of Miss P01-
lard’s callers, but the deponent said she
did not remember him.
The reading of this deposition was con—
tinued after the noon recess. Miss Pollard
had always conducted herself in a ladylike
manner according to the deponent and
had seemed a light hearted schoolgirl.
\Vhen she first came to the house in 1884,
Miss Pollard had worn dresses up to the
tops of her shoes. Afterward, in the course
of the year, she changed them for long
dresses. Reference was made to lVashing—
ton Irving’s works, which Miss Pollard
had owned, which she kept in the house
for some months and later took away.
The deposition of Miss Mary F. Hoyt, 79
years of age, who lived with her sister,
Mrs. Ketcham, followed. To her Miss
Pollard had represented that she had left
the Wesleyan institute and had come to
school in Lexington to he nearer her
mother.
. Miss Pollardhad said that her expenses
were paidby her aunts in Pittsburg, and
whenvshe left at the time the first child is
said to have been born declared that she
was going to the Mardi Gras with an aunt
from Frankfort, who was in delicate
health. Rhoades had visited Miss Pollard,
and the girl had once said that he offered
to pay her school expenses if she would
marry him.

Wilshington Gossip.
WASHINGTON, March iii—There was only
a fair attendance in the galleries when the
senate was called to order today. After
the transaction of some routine business
the senate passed an act amending an act
authorizing the Oregon and Washington
Bridge company to build and maintain a
bridge across the Columbia. river between
the states of Oregon and \Vashington and
to make it a,post road.
Mr. Gallinger (Rep, N. H.) offered ares
olution directing the secretary of the treas-
ury and the secretary of the interior to
transmit to the senate, in separate lists,
the names of all clerks and employees ap
pointed, promoted, reduced or dismissed
since March 4, 1893, and the state to which
each clerk was accredited.
At the request of its author the resolu-
tion was ordered to lie on the table.
At 12:30 the consideration of the seign-
iorage bill was renewed, and Mr. Carey
('Wy.) took up the thread of his argument
at the point at which it was Bopped when
the senate adjourned last evtfiing.
He claimed that the proposed innovation
(was the worst blow ever aimed at silve:
since it was demonetized in 1873, and he
severely criticised that portion of the bill
which proposed to recall the best paper
money in circulation and the only paper
money which was legal tender for all
amounts, and to substitute for it silver
certificates which were not legal tender
except for customs dues.
llIr. Dubois Speaks.
Mr. Dubois (Ia), who followed Mr. Ca-
rey, prefaced his remarks by the assertion
that he would like to vote for free coinage
now, and that he took but little comfort in
voting for the bill, as it was not the kind
of silver legislation which pleased him.
At 2 o’clock the senate passed the Bland
seigniorage bill—yeas, 44; nays, 31. Sen
ators Squire and Cameron did not vote.
Yesterday Squire voted in favor of the bill,
and Cameron was paired in its favor,
