Trouble Feared in the New Jersey Mill Districts. DEPUTIES SWORN AT PHILLIPSBURG, Report ot Bomb Explosion at Pat- erson Discredited. GAINS FOR THE STRIKERS ee PHILLIPSBURG, N. J. March 16.— Crowds of disorderly people continue to surround the mill where the trouble oc- curred yesterday, using threatening lan- guage. More trouble is feared. Sheriff Swartz swore in thirteen addi- tional deputies, making twenty-five in all. Judge Morrow and County Prosecutor Stryker are expected to arrive on the| scene late this afternoon and command | the rioters in the name of the court to} disperse. If they refuse the deputies will be called upon to arrest the ringleaders | of the mob. Sheriff Swartz says he has | exhausted all his power. Deputy Keller, who fired into the crowd last night, has been discharged. PATERSON, N. J., March 16.—The po-| lice do not now believe that the explosion | of last night was caused by a bomb. They have investigated the matter, and now de- | clare that it was a loud gun shot. | Bamford Brothers’ employes joined the , strikers this morning. This is considered | a big victory for the strikers, as for some | weeks past they have been making every | effort to get Bamfords’ men out. Bam- fords’ strikers had a meeting and decided to hold out until all of the demands of the | strikers are satisfied. Thus far today there have been no dis. turbances. —_—__—_ PEACE Is LIKELY. Gov. Waite Withdraws His Demand for Federal Troops. DENVER, March 16.—During the day the militia guard at Douglass place, where Gov. Waite resides, was recalled to the armory, and for the first time since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the building was left unprotected. Shortly afterward his excellency left for the executive chambers, but refused to discuss the situation further than to say that he would like a consultation with Gen. McCook of the United States army. The conference, which was held in the presence of no other person, lasted but a short time, and it is understood was ex- ceedingly peppery, the governor being angry because Gen. McCook refused to aid the! governor in his purpose to seat the new commissioners, but confined himself to dis- persing the crowd and maintaining the peace. At the termination of the interview the governor sent Gen. McCook the following letter: A. D. McCook, U. S. A., Department of the Colorado: Yesterday at about 5 p.m., on informal notice that you would put seven companies of the United States troops in Denver at! my call, [ inferred that your object was to assist the state in the enforcement of the law, as you were present in Denver and knew that the city companies of the Na-| tional Guard had been called out by me as commander-in-chief, and were at the time on duty in the streets near the city hall. CABINET MEETING, Denver and the Silver Bill Considered This Afternoon. The cabinet meeting today was attended by all the members. The session lasted two and a half hours, and was devoied to the | consideration of several important ques- tions. One matter known to nave engrossed | a great share of attention is the situation in Denver in connection with the partici- pation of United States troans. Secretary Lamont took Gen. McCook’s report of bis action with him to the meeting, and at its conclusion, instead of going to his home for lunch, according to his custom, he went immediately to the War Denutment and called Gen. Schofield and Adjycant General Ruggles into consultation. Other matters believed to have been considered at the cab- inet meeting relate to the Brazil situa- | tign and the seigniorage bill. }_That silver measure had not reached the | White House from the Capitol up to the adjournment of the meeting, but it was ex- pected to reach there this evening or to- | morrow. Its provisions are perfectly fa- miliar to the President and his cabinet, and the actual inspection of the bill itself was not at all essential to its considera- tion. There is a growing impression that if the President does not sign the bill he will permit it to become a law without ac- | tion on his part. e+ THE TARIFF BILL. No Solution of the Sugar Problem Yet —Some Schedule Changes. The finance committee have not reached any solution of the problem growing out of the conflict between the duty on sugar and the reciprocity treaties. It is very appir- ent, however, that the western people, who | are very much exercised over the proposi- tion to destroy the market for agricultural products in Germany, Cuba and Brazil, will | resist any action to abrogate the existing | treaties. There does not at this time appear | any probability that the House would con- | sent to the sacrifice of these markets in| order to furnish the pyotection demanded | by the Louisiana sugar planters, especially | t as the farmers and the laboring classes | generally are supposed to be antagonistic to | a sugar duty anyhow.

In the course of the examination Miss Pollard gave it to be undersivod that the paper making the contract with Rhodes to either marry him or refund :he money ad- vanced for her education had been siven by her to Mr. Breckinridge aad never re- turned. “I think it proper to say tight here,” in- terjected Mr. Wilson, “that if there is any such paper in the possession of the defense it ought to be produced in court.” Mr. Bu terworth denied that he knew of any such paper being in thelr possession, and then the examination was continued. Going on with the matter of her early education, Mr, Butterworth asked when her Latin studies began, and she answered that her father had taught her Latin words before she learned to read. ks “Did you read the Bible, Miss Pollard? “Yes, Mr. Lore yi but not as much wish I might have done.” ete into the matter of Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Rossell, a number of questions were asked, but no new facts were developed. Then there was a lively parry. Her First Meeting With Breckinridge. “About your first meeting with Mr. | Breckinridge, I believe you spoke to him on the train.” “That is not true, Mr. Butterworth.” “Then I beg your pardon “I can hardly grant it, for it seems £0 intentional a mis statement.” “How was it then?” “He came across the car to speak to me— and, by the way, that’s quite trick of his, to speak to young girls.” “Did shag know that then “No, sir.” “When dit you find it out?” “Since the filing of this suit, when peo- ple have dared to speak the truth about him.’ A Létter Denied. Miss Pollard was handed a letter by Mr. Butterworth, which she denied having writ- ten. Her dental evidently surprised the de- fendant’s counsel, and after consulting to- gether for a while, they called for a batch of depositions. The plaintiff was then shown another letter, which she acknowledged was hers, the letter being the one read a day or two ago, inclosing her romantic story. The plaintiff stated that when Col. Breck- inridge first called on hef in reply to her letter, asking him about her contract with Mr. Rhodes, Col. Breckinridge, at first, wished to see her alone, and after she ex- plained the matter, Col. Breckinridge said he would cali again in the evening. Noth- ing was said about a drive, only a concert being mentioned. She denied that Co}. Breckinridge said they would talk the Rhodes matter over during any drive. In- stead, it was understood that they would al tend the concert. “Who proposed the carriage ride?” Mr. Butterworth asked. “Certainly not I, Mr. Butterworth,” re- plied the plaintiff. “Do you imagine that I got a carriage and took Col. Breckinridge driving?” The carriage was brought by Col. Breck- inridge, explained Miss Pollard, and not until he brought it did she know that he intended a drive. After they started off Col. Breckinridge pleaded a headache and asked plaintiff to consent to drive instead of going to the concert. At this point the hour of adjourment was reached, and the trial was adjourned until Monday morning. ———— » BRECKINRIDGE’S MARRIAGE. His Counsel Affirm the Truth of the Statement From New York. A copy of the dispatch from New York referring to Mr. Breckinridge’s marriage to Mrs. Wing April 1808, was handed by a Star reporter to Mr. Shelby of counsel for Col, Breckinridge, and he was asked if it were true. Before replying he handed it to the defendant, who, after carefully reading it, returned it to Mr. Shelby, who stated to the reporter that Dr. Paxton’s certificate was true. He declined to say anything more about the matter, however. A prominent member of the bar, when asked what effect the marriage of the de- fendant to Mrs. Wing, April 29 last, would have upon the present suit, remarked that a married man cannot be held liable for breach of promise to marry another woman than his wife. He might be guilty of de- ceit im’ representing himself to be single, but that would not found an action for breach of promfSe. The present action was! for breach of promise—a promise illegal and incapable of being kept if the defendant was married at the time it was alleged to have been made. Another member of the bar, while agree- ing with the above opinion, stated that the marriage of the defendant would have no effect whatever on the present suit, un- less it could be shown that he was a mar- ried man when he made the alleged prom- ise. But, it seemed that three different promises were alleged by the plaintiff, and it would have to be shown that the defen- dant was a married man every time those alleged promises were made. NEW YORK, 16.—Dr. Paxton's house, at 51 West 46th street, is in charge of Charles F, Butler, a colored man. The doctor is in Allegheny City, Pa., and is not expected home until April 1. It was Butler who mailed the certificate of marriage to the bureau of vital statistics ! on Wednesday. Butler said today that on Tuesday he received a telegram from Dr. Paxton directing him to look for the cer- tifieate, and if he found it to send it to the board of health. After a long search the certificate was found ‘among other papers in Dr. Paxton’s desk. atler wrote his initials, C. F. B., on the clope for return, if not delivered. He said he knew the importance of the docu- ment and did not want it to get lost. In ion of the delay in filing the certifi- Butler said today that Dr. Paxton as taken ill a day or two after he per- formed the marriage, and went to the Pres- byterian hh ter he went west, al Where he has since remained.

Wall Street Hoping for a Veto of the Bland Bill. PRICES WOULD THEN MAKE AN ADVANCE Significance of Tomorrow's Gold Shipment. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 16.—Stock specula- tion was less active today than usual, but prices held well in spite of the dullness and showed a decided tendency toward improve- will remaTh out of our market until the President solves the doubt now entertained as to the fate of the Bland bill. As a re- actionary measure it is belleved the street has already discounted its effect, but should the bill be vetoed, the elation of the bull element would undoubtedly be manifested by a general marking up of prices. Wash- ington advices, while indicating consiier- able indecision on the part of the President as to the advisability of such a law, inti- mated that although the bill might not re- permit it to become a law under the ten days’ clause. The engagement of $1,500,000 gold for ex- port to London by tomorrow's steamer 1s time when the supply of gold at that center is known to be large and the rate of dis- | count extremeiy low. It is the first time in months that gold has gone to Ingland, previous consignments being made either to France or Germany. The market for sterling ruled strong throughout the day, The narrow margin of profit at, today’s rates is not likely to result in further ship- ments. ‘Traders brought about a senti- mental reaction on the announcement that gold would go abroad, but the resistance thazsthe street practically disregarded it as a factor in speculation, even chuugh at ioss for any explanation of the movement. The railway list attracted little attention, owing to the narrowness of fluctuations, but was generally strong throughout. Western Union was marked up 3-4 per cent on covering to 86. Bear arguments on this property are heard on all sides, but, notwithstanding the persistence of its enemies, the stock is hard to depress. Chicago Gas was moderately active and Ined 1 per cent to 64 1-4 on buying by thé same interests who were prominent in the selling movement a day or two ago. The currency movement for the week is reported to have been unusually light spite of higher premium rates for New York funds at nearly all western points, The express currency business will probably show a gain for the week of $2,000,000, ship- ments having averaged less than 25 per cent of the receipts. The banks will lose about half a million through subtreasury operations. The last hour's trading was dull, with prices generally at their best. Traders had the market ail their own way and were inclined to favor the bull side, although it is more than likely that a re- action will set in unless speculation broad- ens within the next day or two. ——-_—.
