Poem No 3.

There is a store on Water street.
Across from the lumber dock,

Where men of every nation come to trade,
From Rome to Plymouth Rock.

 

And why? because the people know
There's money saved in buying ;
Canlt. do so wellat other stores,
And there's no use of trying.

Sowhile times are hard and money scarce,
The people will keep coming,

Where polite attention all receive,
And business just a “ humming. "

Stranger, drop in and look around,
No matter what your “ fix,”

You’ll surely buy before you leave
At Watertstreet Market, No. 6.

"WAsurxo'mN, April 6.—Judge Bradley’.
admonitious of the night before had the of
feet of reducing the attendance in court
this morning to the thinnest audience yet
gathered, and some of the men presen‘
wore a sheepish air.

The defense made an unexpected mow
by calling Miss l‘ollard to the stand ant
questioning her about the birth of her sec
0nd child. which, she sniri,\vas born at now
on Feb. 8. hit-’8. “l only held it in my arm.
two hours,. according to my promise tc
him,” she began. “Now, now, Miss Pol
lard,” Mr. Butter-worth began nervously
warning Miss Pollard with great solicitudr
to confine herself to answering, his ques
tions. Mr. Wilson also admonished her.

The child lintl been taken to the Protes
tant Foundlirig asylum on Fourteentl
street in \Vnshing‘wii, n here she had vis
ited it with Dr. Mary Parsons once. Silt
continued: "1 gave it a little Germar
name. ] pinned a note. on its clothing sr
they could name it. I was reading Cur
lyle, and I named it from a character 0.
his—Dietz Carlyle—a name. as 'far as possi
ble from that of Colonel Breckinridge or
my own.” .

The second time she saw the child was
on the 3d of May at- an undertaker’s estab
lishment (\Vright’s) before it was buried
When Mr. Butter-worth asked how the fu-
neral expenses had been paid, she said
that Mrs. Parsons had looked after that.

She supposed Colonel Breckinridge pull.
them, but when Mrs. Parsons was recalled
to the stand they couldask her. “That’s
all, Miss Pollard,” said Mr. Butterworth,
dismissing her, and then he called for Dr
Mary Parsons, Who was not forthcoming
however.

Miss Pollard had been perfectly seh

about her child and had spoken in a low
almost plaintive, tone. “I don’t know
much about these things, you know, Mr
Butter-worth,” she had said when he was
asking her about the regulations of the
foundling asylum.

Mrs. Liddlo Testifies.

Some time was passed waiting for Dr.
Parsons, and when the judge inquired the
cause of the delay he was told by Mr. Shel-
by thnt the defense wished to furthei
cross examine her about matters she. had

disposed to press objections. a ..
' Pending the arrival of Dr. Persians a
middle aged lady with spectacles, who
had been sitting in court, was called.
She announced her name asMrs. Liddie_
said she was employed in the census
bureau and in 1888 had been matron
of the Washington Foundling asylum on
Fourteenth street. The record of the asy-
.lu_m for that year being shown her, she
identified the record of a child, brought
there by. a large colored woman, which
had a paper pinned on its clothing. A
slip of paper which she thought had been
on the clothing was pasted in the book.
Mr. Wilson objected to the admission oi
the book, and it was handed up to J udge
Bradley for examination, while the lawyer
explained that it was hearsay, because the
matron had merely recorded the state-
ments of the unknown colored woman
called “Aunt Mary,” who carried the child
tothe asylum. It was doubtless the in
tention under the circumstances to con-
ceal as 13- as ossble the parentage of thc
infant as wel as the circumstances and
plu‘ibe of its birth. This argument elicited
a reply from Mr. Shelby, who, being cus-

commercial terms to the transaction, as
though speaking of a bale of cotton, with
striking effect.

The objection was sustained by the
judge without hesitation or explanations
of his grounds and an exception noted, fol
lowing which Mr. Shelby beat about the
bush cleverly, endeavoring to draw out
the same facts wanted through other chan
nels. The matron did not know Dr. Par-
sons, nor had Miss Pollard ever visited the
asylum so fur as she knew. Visitors were
admitted on certain days without any red
tape preliminaries.

“What was the name given to the child
at that time?” Mr. Shelby was inquiring
when MrJVilson interpolated his " ’Bject,"
blocking an answer until therehad been
.- more-sparring by the legal gentlemen
‘Whlch Judge Bradley ended by the deci
sion that the entry was clearly hearsay.

There was more wrangling over the au-
thenticity of the slip pasted in the record
during which the matron said appealingly,
“Let me think,” and Colonel Breckinridge
echoed, “Let- her think.”

Having completed her mental processes,
Mrs. Liddic started to give arrexplanatiou
of the customs of the institution without
any proyocatiori in the way of direct ques-
tions and was checked after some. clifliculty

child had been christened “Downing,” and
Miss Pollard forthwith began to shed tears
and to receive the attentions of her attor‘
neys. ~ . -

The slip pasted in the asylum record was
penned iii a. feminine, delicate hand with
the words, “Please panic my baby ‘Dietz
Downing,’ ” and beneath it in red ink was
written, “Died April 18, 1888.”

The slip of paper had pinholes showing
that it had once been attached to some-
thing. A question from Mr. Shelby as to
whether any other child had died in April
of 1888 brought the reply, “They .die so
fast and so rapidly that I cannot keep
track of them." The records, however,
would show. the witness said. \Vheu Mr.
Shelby offered to place the record in evi-
dence, it was ruled out.

Mr. \Vilson promised that if the records
of the asylum were left in his charge he
would see to it that none of them was re-
vealed. calling attention at the same time
that contents of the memorandum book of
Mrs. Lowell, the capitol- typewriter, which

had been left in charge of law ers. had
rounu uucu: way into print. The Judge

Bradley characterized as an outrage.

Dr. Mary Parsons was then called, and
Judge Bradley announced that the de—
fense must understand that she was called
as their own witness, not for cross exam—
ination. Mr. Shelby admitted that this
was the law, but said that it. was within
the discretion of the court. The court re-
fusing to permit it. Mr. Butterworth dis—
missed Mrs. Parsons with the remark,
“W'e do not want you now." Mrs. Liddie,
being recalled, was asked by the defense
Whether by her knowrédge Mrs. Parsons
had ever visited the asylum. She said no,
but on cross examination stated that Dr.
Parsons might have been there without
her knowledge.

An officer of the health office, 'William
B. Moore, was shown a legal document
which contained a record oi. the. birth of a.
child in February, 195:; :. k -

No return of a birtl .ilibl:5.n_lv:(l by Dr.
Mary Parsons in February of that year
had been made, he testified, and was not
cross examined. Here the defense abrupt-
ly rested its case. " _

The first witness called by the plaintiff’s
attorneys in rebuttal was Dr. William A.
Cowan, a young man who is superintend-
ent of the \Vestern asylum in Pittsburg.
He announced himself as the first cousin
of. Miss Pollard on her mother’s side, there-
by creating a mild sensation, since he was
the first of her relatives to come forward
in the case.

As soon as Mr. Carlisle asked whether
the plaintiff had been a member of his
family from 1876 to 1880 Mr. Shelby ob-
jected, arguing that such testimony was
not properly rebuttal; that. the defense had
foreseen from the line of cross examina-
tion followed that much of such testimony
would be attempted to be introduced. He
was reminded by Mr. Carlisle of the dope
sition of Mrs. Miller, nee Mollie Shingle-
bower, a woman admittedly of ill fame,
who had- testified that Miss Pollard had
lived in Kentucky in the years 1877 and
1878 and had committed certain impro-
prieties in her sight.

.Wllson's Strong Language.

This brought on a legal argument start-
ed by Mia Shelby, loaded with authorities,
and continued by Mr. Wilson, who cast re-
flections upon the character of Mrs. Mil-
ler, declaring her depositionto be an in-
? famous lie. .In the course of his decision
Judge Bradley remarked that “the de-
fendant put. on the stand an infamous
wOman. I say infamous advisedly, from
her own testimony.” Mr. Shelby reminded
him that. Mrs. Miller had said that she had
led a virtuous life for five or six years.

Continuing, the judge referred to the
tefstimoiiygof Mrs. Miller as disgusting, re-
ferred-to the fact that Mrs. Miller had tee
tilled that she had become a woman of the
town at the age of 14 and said the plaintifi
should be allowed to purge herself of the
contamination which would inevitably
come from association with such a woman.
In overruling the objection he spoke of the
contention of the defense that Miss Pollard
could’disprove the affidavit by the surest
means by showing that-she was not at the
place where the specific acts of immorality
were said to have been committed.

Dr. Cowan testified that Miss Pollard
had been a. member of his family continu-
ously from August, 1876 to 1880, and had at-
tended school with his sisters most of the
time. The cross-examination showed that
he‘ had made a trip west in 1876 and an-
other in 1878, but he was certain that the
plaintiff had not been away from Pitts-
burg. The testimony of Mollie Shingle
bower had been that Miss Pollard was
living in 1877 and 1878 five miles from Lex-
ington, Ky. During the legal arguments
which had preceded the testimony Miss
Pollard, who had been engaged for hall
an hour in taking notes, left the court
room.

riots yesterday afternoon.

Strikers Bewildered.

UNIONTowy, Pa, April 6.——The arrest of
President L. R. Davis of the local Mine
Y9. orkers’ association and his lodgment in
the jail here today hays placed the strikers
in a state of bewilderment throughout the
region, and the abandonment of the strike
Within. the next twelvehours is being‘pre—
dicted. President Davis is charged with
murder and therefore cannot be released
on bail. .

A mob of LWO rioters, out of which

_ Davis was taken, camped last night in the
woods near Scottdale and did not make a

move during the night. They had planned
an attack on the 'Meyer works of A. J.
Rainey of Vanderbilt, but. the absence of
a leader caused them to abandon the idea.
They will not move today until a meeting
of delegates fro‘miall over the region can
be held. They fully expected Davis to re-
turn to them and map outsa plan of opera-
tions, but now a new leader'must be chosen
or the movement will fall flat.

There is general: consternation in the
ranks of the strikers, and - many are in
favor of giving up the fight. There are
now 95rloters in 'jail'Ther'e,“ and these are
the leaders in the movement. -'

Eight nun-gum mar... round. '

At 10 o'clock‘todagzhe bodies of 'eight
murdered Hungarl were found in the
v. sods near Lawson "by some boys who
were going across the fields to school. The
men werefound lying in different sections
of the wood, and all had. bullet .holes

.. through their bodies and were more or less

beaten up. Where they came from or by
whom they were killed; is yet a question,
and the discovery is the", sensation of the
day in the coke region. .It is'isuppOsed that
these Huns were shot yesterday afternoon
by deputies during an attack on the Broad-
ford works and crawled out into the woods
to die. In the conflict at these works there
were volleys of shots. fired, and ‘One man
was killed outright during the attack. The

. bodies found have been identified as mem-

bers of the mob. They are still lying in
the woods, and the authoritiesrefuse to
care for them. - _ - ..

The Hill Farm-mines were overrun by a
horde of the strikers today gand the work.

fact that deputies were on guard. The
works are now closed down.
men who camped last night near Scott-
dale mos ed up to the Mt. Pleasant branch
and will attempt to force the men out at
all the works from Dawson to Mt. Pleas
ant. This includes the Meyer plant, where
a fight has been scheduled for the past
two days, with 150 deputies. standing
guard there. They stopped, at West Over-
ton near the Bessemer mines, and abou
a half dozen speeches were made.

Near there they were met by Sheriff Mc-
Cann and 100 armed deputies, who warned
them not to trespass on the companies’
grounds or interfere with the work of the
men. All the roads leading to the Moore
wood and Alice mines are guarded by dep-
uties, and the strikers cannot reach them
except by way of the Mount Pleasant
road, on which the famous battle of 189]
was fought and in Which seven strikers
were killed. The mob is marching to Mount
Pleasant. . ‘

Alexander Markey was today made pres-
ident of the organization of Mine Workers
to fill the place of L'. R.‘ Davis, who is in
jail on a charge of murder. Markey has
been identified with . all previous strikes

- and stands well with the strikers. He. an-

nounces that the movement will be pushed,
and that no stone will be left unturned to
force a. suspension everywhere. He says
the strikers are not discouraged, but. be--
lieve they will Win the contest. At; 12536
today District Attorney Jefi’ries made In-

formation against Secretary Daniel Darby

of the association on a' charge of murder.
Darby was at the time attempting to get
bail for Davis and was arrested and lodged

' in jail. ,

Great. Excitement at. Scottdale.
SCOTTDALE, Pa, April .—The entire

coke region is in a high state of excitement.

today, and fears of more bloodshed and
the destruction of property are entertain-
ed. From all points crime reports of armed
bodies of strikers fissembling for the pur-
pose of marching on works still in opera-
tion. In this section all the plants are
running but the Painter works of McClure
& Co.

The strikers visit-ed the works last night
and remained with the men until- day-
light. The workmen, with ‘few excep-
tions, are willing to work, but are afraid.
Sheriff W'ilhelm is still busy arresting
strikers who participated in yesterday’s
riot, in which Chief Engineer Paddock
was killed. . .

He now has 125 men safely behind the
bars at Connellsville. About 30 of the.
mob were surrounded in a. house at Van-
derbilt today. but they refused to surren‘
(let. The house‘ is nowjn a. state of siege.
\Vhile making the arrests the deputies
were compelled to fire on the mob several
times. It is reported that the bodies cf six
men were found on the road to Adelaide,
the direction in which the mob fled.

Orders to Shoot.

Four hundred strikers camped near here
and at 9:30 o’clock started for Mount
Pleasant to visit the works along the line.
Sherifi McCann has from 25 to" 125 dspu-
ties at each of the plants, and serious trou-
ble may be expected. The deputies are
well armed and have orders to arrest or
shOot any one guilty of a misdemeanor.

Many of the workmen are also armed, so

warm reception. A crowd of 508 is match
ing on Mount Braddock, and another mob
of nearly 1,000 is on the way to Lemont ,
and Oliver. After stopping work at. Hill
Farm and Adelaide they will cross the
river to attack Bradford. There is talk of
a. posse of Connellsville citizens forming to
prevent them getting across the river.

The only place where» depredations are
being committed is at the Mount Braddock
plant of “T. J. Rudy, near Dunbar, where
about 500 of the marauders are assembled.
They have destroyed some property about
the plant, but no encounter is feared. since
the workmen will not attempt to enter the
mine Until the mob is dispersed. '

The ovens were charged and are burning.
At Hill Farm the men returned and are
being guarded by 40 deputies. In other
parts the situation is unchanged.

The crowd of striker-s which left. here
passed the plant of A. U. Overholt & C0.
and the Bessemer plant of the McClure
company without attempting to even
speak to the men at work. Strong forces
of deputies were displayed at both places.
Meetings will be held at the Standard
plant of the Frick company and More-
wood plant Of the Southwest Coal and
Coke company. The speedy arrest of
President Davis and so many of those en-
gaged in yesterday’s riot and the glisten.
ing winchesters in the hands of deputies
at every plant seem to have curbed them.

Sheriff McCann is at Mount Pleasant
and is determined to protect the men at
work. There was no sign of trouble up to
a late hour. The Pennsville plant of the
Pennsville Coke company near here has
010sed, the men and operators agreeing to
close until the trouble is over. About 150
men are employed, and the plant had re-
sumed only a few weeks ago.

The News at Connellsville.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, April 6.'—-'1‘he ex-
pected riot at Moyer did not take place.
About half the miners and drawers have
returned to work, and the plant is in par-
tial operation. The others either sympa
thize with the strikers or are afraid of the
mob. The company evidently are expect-
ing an outbreak and are prepared for it.
The strikers who camped near the plant
were quiet all night and made no uttempt
to interfere with the men when they went
