PISTOLS AND TEARS | Mr. Breckinridge’s Account of Some Exciting Interviews. MEETING AT THE HOFFMAN HOUSE How the Unhappy Couple Came to Go to Major Moore. |THE | HER DESPERATE TALE Mr. Breckinridge continued his testi- mony yesterday afternoon after the report lof the Pollard-Breckimridge trial in The Star closed. At that point he had narrated | the circumstances which led to bis agree- ing to go to Mrs. Blackburn’s with the plaintiff, and pretend to her that they were engaged. : He then said he told the plaintiff that whatever was the understanding Mrs. Blackburn had, there must be no misunder- standing between herself and him; that she knew that after what Rodes had told bim, she could never be his wife; that she could | never enter his household as his wife; that @ marriage with him was impossible; that she knew that he had not seduced her, and that she had not come to him as a maiden. In view of her promises to go away, he had agreed to this pretense to an engagement. The defendant here described the visits to Mrs. Blackburn. After the interview, he said, he told the plaintiff that she must leave Washington before he did. He was then arranging to go to Boston to make a speech. There was no misunderstanding between himself and plaintiff during the next ten days about it. She was preparing to go away, and he be- leved she would. He was to furnish her with money to settle up her bills and go away. The defendant left Washington April 10, and returned April 27. The Hoffman House Incident. Defendant next described his meeting with the plaintiff’ at the Hoffman House in New York, on May 1, two days after his marriage in New York to Mrs. Wing. He bad gone to the hotel to get his clothes. “I went up to my room,” he said, “and opened the door, ard found that the door betweea my room and the adjoining room was ajar. There was a bathroom between the two rooms, and the door at the end of the bathroom was opened. When I went to the adjoining room to see whet was the matter, and pushed the door open, I found the plaintiff in that room, partly dressed, and apparently only just waked up. As soon as she was thoroughly aroused she demanded excitedly where I had been, and said she had been for several days ap all over New York looking for me. an- swered he> perhaps more rudely than I should, substantially that it was nothing to her where I had been. “As I turned, she had a pistol leveled at me, about the distance of the end of the bathroom, and was rushing with it upon me. I pushed the door of the bath room shut quickly and turned the catch. She turned the knob of the door, but was un- able to open the door. I then touched the bell in my room, and, speaking to her through the door, said, ‘I have rung the bell, and I am going to get the police and have you put into the Tombs.’ “She said she was going to shoot through the door. I said: ‘Shoot away. It will only give me additional justification for having you put into the Tombs.’ She said she wanted to talk with me, and I told her she could not talk with me while she had that pistol in her hand. I had tried that before. Just then some one knocked on a door on the opposite side of the hall. I could tell where the knock was, but she could not, and evidently supposed it was a knock at my door, in answer to the bell. “ ‘Now,’ I said, ‘if you will put that pistol down, go into your room and fasten the door, I will take the pistol and see what I can do.’ I heard her put the pistol down and go into her room and shut the door. Then I unlatched the door, picked up the pistol, which was lying on the floor, and placed {t in my pocket. Just then the boy came and rapped at the door. I opened it and I said to the boy: ‘Bring me a pitcher of ice water.’ I was as cool as possible under the circumstances. I then went to her room, knocked at the door, and she opened it, and we had a talk. It Was agreed that she should go to No. 7 reet and telegraph to Mrs. Black- burn." The next morning, he said, eon- ——s his narrative, he went to the hotel an he was surprised to see that she Was still there. The defendant then gave an account of the interview in New York with Mrs. Blackburn, substantially agreeing with the version given by Mrs. Blackburn, and then brought the story down to the occasion, on the 13th of May, when Miss Pollard call- = at the a in ——— Place, where fe Was then stopping with the present Mrs. Breckinridge. Going to Maj. Moore. “I and my wife (fprmerly Mrs. Wing) were in the dining room of the house when the plaintiff walked in and said: ‘Excuse me, Mrs. Wing, I want to see Mr. Breck- tmridge alone on a matter of great import- ance.” I turned to my wife and said that I thought I had better go with her. As I walked out by Lafayette Park she said: ‘I intend to end this matter. I intend to kill you." I said: ‘All right. This is the last day.” And she went on. Her state- ment that I maligned my wife or said any- thing disrespectful of her is an absolute fabrication, without a shadow of truth on which to hang it. Not a word was said about my wife. She said she intended to end this thing by Killing me, and we walked along, she said it would be a good thing to end it by that kind of a scandal, and she was going to kill herself, too. She did most of the talking. There had been no effort on my part to calm her fears; no protestation of love; nothing about her being a nervous, excitable child. “When we got to Maj. Moore's office I asked if he was in, and, being told he was, I went in and the plaintiff followed me. I said to Maj. Moore: ‘I need the protection | of the law. This lady threatens to kill me. I will tell you how I came to be in this position, and I want you to put her or ine under arrest.’ He said he hoped it was not as bad as that. He went over to her, and she held up her hands and said: ‘I have no weapons but these,” and then I said to Maj. Moore that I wanted to relate all the circumstances, cide whether to arrest her or me. Then she broke out into a flood of hysterical tears and said: ‘Oh, don't tell him; is it neces- sary? I said I intended to tel! him every- thing, when she put her hand on my shoul- der and begged me not to tell him. I took her hand off and turned to her and said: “Will you do exactly what I demand if I do not tell him.” She said she would, and I turned to Maj. Moore and said: ‘I think we can settle this ourselves.’ ” Col. Breckinridge said of th ide remark in the scene before Maj. Moore that he thought he had made it loud enough for the major to hear; that he certainly intended to, but {t seemed from the major’s testi- mony that he had not heani what he (Breckinridge) had said. ‘The Third Attempt to Kill Him. After leaving the office with Miss Pollard he had told her that there could be no more terms between them; that she would have to look to some one else fur support, and that he did not intend to give her another dollar, for, as they had gone to Maj. Moore, it probably would come out in the papers. They had talked together of the child that was to be born. ‘She said she wanted to jget rid of the child,“ 4 related; “but I said ‘No, if it is my child, I have the great- lest interest in it, and when tt fs born I can | tell whether It is mine or whether it is not.’ He said that if {t was his he in- tended to care for it, as that would be part of his punishment. Then the witness told of Miss Pollard’s last attempt to shoot him when he had | gone to see her at the house of Mrs. Thomas in Lafayette square, a few days after the scene in the office of the chie* of poilce. ‘ie had suspected her intentions, and as he stepped into the room he éhrew both arms around her, clasping her tightly around the | shoulders, slipped bis arm down until he could grasp her hands, and caught the weapon. This episode the colonel narrated graph- ieally, stopping to remark jocowely, “and 1 |have the pistol In my possessicn now: une jot the ef my engagement m i his arms, he continued, she had fainted, or pretended to faint, end had fallen back on a divan. He put the pis- jtol in his ocket, closed th: door and | walked out This seemed a good c!'max w \end the chapter, and so the court adjourned jeaca Monday. so that he might de-) | “Senators CAMPAU WILL NOT COME. The Local Base Ball Management is Again Disappointed. “Count” Campau, the left fielder, is the third of Manager Schmelz’s collection of ball players who has disappointed the man- agement by failing to appear. The first was Dave Thompson, the big third baseman from the west, who was expected to create consternation in the ranks of the eastern players. He sent word that he had inherited some money and would go into the grocery business at Phoenix, Arizona. Then “Cub” Stricker, the substitute infielder of last year's Washington team, failed to show up and was, accordingly, dropped. Stricker is @ fine fielder, but is weak at the bat. Now Campau has determined to stay with the New Orleans club. He has publicly an- nounced his intention of remaining with that club. He states that if Washington persists in claiming his services this season he will give up playing and continue with the Pelicans as manager. There is one consolation In the absence of these players and that is that Washington doesn't lose much. The Baltimore News speaks as follows facetiously of the street parades of the ” “Manager Schmelz paraded his army of ball-tossers through the streets of Washington in carriages yesterday prepara- tory to playing a game at the ball park. The procession was several squares long and most people thought it was the funeral of some distinguished public benefactor or politician. At least twenty people under- stood the true significance of the proces- sion and went to the ball park to watch a game between the ‘Vets’ and the ‘Kids. The game of b: ball yesterday afternoon at National Park between the two nines of players striving for a permanent situation with the Washington B: though won by the “Kids, nearer resulting in a victory for the “Vets” than any heretofore played. The game was close throughout, and the batting heavy, so, therefore, the contest proved unusually interesting. George Wood, the famous old Philadelphia player, filled first base for the “Vets.” Stephens pitched the first six innings for the older men, when Al Maul took possession of the box for the remainder of the game. He kept down the d only two runs were made, but the “Kids” had already won off Stephens’ pitching. Black made his de- but as a twirler for the “Kids,” and, al- though wild, scored a good impression on Manager Schmelz. Tebeau and Du le continue to be laid up with Injuries and oc- cupied seats in the grand stand, Selbach catching and Mercer and Egan coveriag left and center fields respectively. Home runs were made by Joyce and Sel- bach, three-base hits by Cartwright and Selbach, and a two-bagger by Stephen, the other features of the game being the steam calllope coaching of the “Kids” and the landing of a hot liner on Cartwright’s shin, which delayed the game for several minutes. The score by innings was as follows: “Kid 41002811 012 18110040 010 mateur Base Ball.

Albaugh’s Opera House.—Creston Clarke and his Shakespearean company will appear at Albaugh’s Opera House during the week of April 2d in a series of Shakespearean and classic plays. The late John T. Ford, who kad the faculty of foreseeing so many histrionic successes, saw Mr. Clarke a few years ago act Hamlet in Richmond, and then re- marked, “Young Clarke will one day be the recognized leader in Shakespearean charac- terizations in America; he is now better than his uncle at the same age.” Last sum- mer Manager Ford arranged to star the young tragedian, and Washington was se- lected for the opening of the tour. He has been equally praised as Shylock, as Rich- elieu, Hamlet, Romeo, &c., all of which will be produced during the Washington en- gagement next week, with every scenic em- bellishment and costumal effect. The com- pany with Mr. Clarke is essentially Shakes- pearean, including Miss Martha Ford, who will assume the leading feminine roles. Miss Ford has of late made gratifying progress in her chosen profession. New National Theater—Next week Mr. Felix Morris will make his first appearance in this city as a star at the New National His_ repertoire includes, “The Vagabond" and ‘Moses’ Monday and Tuesday nights and Wednes- day matinee; “The Old Musician,” and “The Paper Chase,” Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights and Saturday matinee, and “Kerry,” “The Vagabond” and “Moses” Saturday night. Academy of Music—Chauncey Olcott in “Mavour? een” will be the attraction at the Academy of Music next week, Harris’ Bijou Theater—The engagement of Miss Annie Ward Tiffany at Harris’ Bijou Theater next week promises to be a highly enjoyable one, especially to those who enjoy Irish comedy. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the play will be “Lady Blarney.” The scene of the play is laid in New York, but this, as may be readily understood, does not prevént its having a very pronounced Irish flavor. Humor ts the essential feature of the per- formance, and the company {s competent not only to bring out the diverting points of the play, but possessed of a nd of musical talent which brings a number of the newest and brightest songs before the audience. On Thursday, Friday and Satur- day Miss Tiffany will appear in “Peggy Logan,” assuming the title role. The play has won many compliments on its own merits, and the character of Peggy is re- garded as one of the best things this popular star has ever attempted. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Billy Pium- mer’s Athletic and Specialty Company will | be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. Plimmer is the ae bantam-weight pugilist of the world. This is the little fel- low who, on August 22, 1893, at the Madi- son Square Garden, New York, defeated George Dixon in a scientific glove contest for points. During his recent western tour he has met and defeated Solly Smith, Kid Thompson, Johnnie Van Heest, Jack Smith, Jim Barry, Mike Norton, and others. The management will offer an inducement of $50 to any of the local aspirants in his class whom he fails to best in four rounds. The vaudeville contingent includes a num- ber of well-known specialty artists, among whom are Ramza and Arno, the eccentric and original triple-bar performers; Murray and Alden, clever sketch artists; Quar trelli, the comic juggler; Nellie Waters, Ire- land’s queen; Little Carrie, juvenile musical artist; Collins and Collins, song and dance artis! the McNulty Sisters, charming vo- calists; Edward Leslie, character comedian and mimic. There will be matinees Tues- day. Thursday and Saturday. “The Black Crook.”—At Albaugh’s, on Morfday, April 9, comes Eugene Tompkins’ magnificent production of the famous grard spectacle, “The Black Crook,” which hi just ended a marvelous run of nineteen consecutive weeks at the Boston Theater. The production, with {ts marvelous and magic scenery, bewildering and glittering costumes, superb ballets, mechanism, prop- erties, armor and brilliant electric effects, will be brought intact. The specialties in- troduced will consist of Miss Florrie West Fielding, the juggler, and Miss Sadie M: Donald. In the grand march of the ama- zons, the gorgeously flluminated golden ter- race scene, over sixty ladies will take part. As an evidence of the immensity of this production. it might be said that aside from the large corps of skilled stage cur- penters, electrictans, property men and as- Sistants, no less than thirty extra men are required in order to give the production. Miss Kate Field's Monologue.—Miss Kate Field will give her musical monologue, Eyes and Ears of London,” at Builders’ Exchange Hall, April 3, at 8:30 o'clock. In response to a request made by the lead- ing ladies of Washington, Miss Field con- sented to deliver a series of lectures in the banquet hall of the Shoreham. This place Proved too small for the attendance, and the scene of the talks was therefore chang- ed to the Builders’ Exchange. Miss Field wins her audience, not only by her signing, but by her pungent cuts into the foibles of fashion. Her polite burlesques on society's manners always evoke laughter. The talk which {s_scheduled for the 84 was given by Miss Field at New York, Buffalo, Balti- more, Boston and London, and was every- where greeted with the praise and gg which Washingtonians know that Miss Field merits. The lady has a national repu- tation as a satirist and caustic writer, and her voice is sweet and tuneful. $1.25 to Baltimore Via the B. and O.

ON TO RICHMOND This Time It is an Army of Peace and Good Will. ‘The Moody Chorus Will Go South This Evening—A Permanent Organiza- tion—The Big Concert. Two hundred members of the Moody and Sankey choir will leave this afternoon for a short visit to Richmond. A special train, consisting of Pullman parlor and day coaches, will be at their disposal, and will leave the Pennsylvania depot at 4:20 p.m. A stop will be made for supper at some point on the road, and Richmond will be reached about 8:30 in the evening. The Richmond papers have announced that a reception will be tendered the visit- ing singers by the Richmond choir, at the Y¥. M. C. A. building on their arrival. The party will be quartered at the Hotel Lexington, where Evangelists Moody, Sankey, Bliss and Jacobs are stopping. The choir will be accompanied by several cornetists. The Washington singers will assist the Richmond choir at both the afternoon and evening services on Sunday, and will spend the day, Monday, in sightseeing, returning to this city on a@ special leaving Richmond @t about 6 p.m. A delightful trip is looked forward to by all, and these expectations will doubtless be realized. Permanent Organization. A permanent organization of the choir is contemplated, and at a recent meeting a resolution favoring this move was unani- mously adopted, and the director, Mr. Fos- ter, authorized to appoint an executive com- mittee to arrange the details for such an organization. This committee consists of the director, ex officio, Dr. M. D. Peck, Dr. F. B. Woodman, Jas. W. Somerville, Frank A. Wilson and Pliny M. Hough. The plan of organization reported by this committee and indorsed by the choir is that the choir should continue, unjer some ap- propriate name, as a society to promote the interests of sacred inusic. It is not designed to enter in any degree into competition with existing musical or- ganizations, but will simply be a body of those who are able and willing to lend mu- |sical assistance to religivus and char‘table enterprises. Already 1,800 applications for membership in this society have been re- ceived, but It is probable that the hmmit will be placed at 1,500. It is not expected that regular meetings or rehearsals will be held, but 1t is designed that the executive committee shall take into consideration all matters pertaining to the society. Already the organization is under @ promise to assist in the Odd Fellows’ en- tertainment on April 27. Coming Concert. During the Moody meetings, many who desired to hear the choir were repeatedly prevented from so doing on account of the crowds. As a consequence of this, many requests have been received to the effect that the choir should give a concert. It has been accordingly determined that the choir shall give such a concert and Fri- day evening, April 6, is the date on which it will be given. The proceeds are to be devoted to some re- lgious or charitable object to be decided upon by a vote of the choir hereafter. The concert will be of rather a novel character. Many of the best of the Gospel Hymns sung during the Moody meetings will be rendered and the program will be inter- spersed with solos. It 1s expected that the choir will be as- sisted on this occasion by Miss Carrie Kid- well, Miss Dorothy Byrd Rogers, Mr. Hern- don Morseill, Professor N. DuShane Cloward and others. The concert will be given in Convention Hail, and arangements have been made for 8,000 tickets, at 25 cents, which can be exchanged for a reserved seat without extra charge. They are being rapidly disposed of and the prospects are that the concert will be a success both artistically and financially. The Party. Among those who will make the trip to Richmond are Mrs. E. V.

Action Taken by the Baltimore Con- ference Yesterday. Charles M. Bragg, the former pastor of Calvary Church, Lombard and Greene streets, Baltimore, whose disappearance caused so much of a sensation some months ago, was formally expelled from the Bal- timore conference of the Southern Metho- dist Church at Fredericksburg yesterday, and his statement to his wife, “I am a ruined man,” made in a letter left for her when he deserted her, was verified, as far as his connection with the ministry is con- cerned. It is said that the last news heard of him was that he was driving a street car in New York city. Secretary Armstrong read the report of the committee appointed to investigate the report. it was brief and to the point. “The report of the committee of investi- gation is sustained, and Charles M. Bragg is expelled from the ministry and member- ship of the Methodist Episcopal Church South” was all it said. It was signed by James T. Williams, president, and George H. Zimmerman, secretary. “It now be- comes my duty,” said Bishop Granbery, “to declare that Charles M. Bragg has been found guilty of immorality and is expelled from the ministry and membership of the church.” The most intense silence prevail- ed during these proceedings. When they were concluded a low murmur ran over the room, in which the words “pity,” “sad’ and “wrecked lives’ were mingled. Rev. J. W. Duffey of the committee to investigate ‘the charges of intoxication against Rev. V. W. Wheeler made a state- ment about the matter. He said that as the present investigation was the fourth in the same case it was proposed to make it very thorough, not with any desire to be hard on Mr. Wheeler, but to prevent any further agitation of the question. “We have no power to summon witnesses and compel their attendance,” said Mr. Duffey, “and it rests with those who are acquaint- ed with the facts in the case as to how far the investigation shall go. But I would say to all those who have knowledge of the case to make known to the committee the facts in their possession or forever after- ward hold their peace.” A fervent amen, coming from all parts of the church, was the response. The anti-pool bill now before the Mary- land legislature is being widely discussed by the members of the conference, end those from Maryland seem indignant at the action of the members of the house of delegates who have lent their efforts to the ostponement or the defeat of the measure. ‘he action of the senate in passing the bill and Senator Hubner’s work in its be- half are commended. While the conference, as a whole, took no actign on the matter, a number of prominent preachers and lay- men have telegraphed to their repre- sentatives in the legislature urging them, for the honor of the state, to do all in their power to help the bill on its passage. The messages were addressed particularly to those members who were absent from the state house when the bill was brought up. New Presiding Elder.

Deacons Jacob M. Eavey, Wm. L. Smith, Samuel M. Bowman, John W. Beall, Wm. T. Gover, Wm. H. H. Joyce, John 8. Engle, Isaac G. Michael and John H. Wilhite were elected to elders’ orders. J. Edgar Wilson of Baltimore and Walter J. Hubbard of Virginia, who had taken the local relation, were readmitted, and Rev. Richard H. Bennett was transferred from the Baltimore to the Virginia conference. Wm. S. Hammond, John H. Schooley ard Henry L. Hout were elected to deacos orders. Local Deacon John W.

Miss Ann Maria Waugh, who met with a sad accident on 14th street Monday even- ing, as published in Tuesday’s Star, died ‘Thursday morning. As stated on Tuesday, Miss Waugh, who was seventy-two years old, had just left the house of her sister, 1316 V street, and in going across 1ith street was knocked down by a horse at- | tached to Dr. W. A. Hammond's carriage. Her arm was broken,but it was not thought that she was otherwise seriously injured. | She was taken into the house of Mr, Mc- | Closky on 14th street, and later Dr. Ham- mond had her removed to his sanitarium, where she died. Congestion of the brain was the cause of death. Her body was re- moved to the home of her sister on 14th | street. There the coroner's jury viewed the remains yesterday, and at noon testimony in the case was heard, the inquest being held at the eighth precinct station. A number of witnesses were examined. From them it was elicited that Miss Waugh was walking west when Dr. Hammond's | carriage came down 14th street. The driver, was | driving along at an ordinary rate of peed | at the time and he saw the elderly pedes- trian crossing the street. In attempting to warn her and get cut of her way, he called to her, and turned the animal toward the curbstone. Miss Waugh, who was deaf and nearly blind, gathered her skirts together and made an effort to run to the sidewalk, but | in so doing she ran against the horse and | was knocked down. The driver of the ve- hicle was not arrested, but he appeared be- fore the coroner’s jury today and related the sad circumstances concerning the af- fair, Policeman Kelly told the jury that | Miss Waugh had been in the habit of | walking in the street, and he bad warned | her about it, but that did not figure in this | affair, for she was crossing the street on this occasion. The affair was an unavoid- able accident and the jury so decided. Miss Waugh, as already stated, was reventy-:wo years old. She was a daughter of the late Albert Waugh and sister of Mr. James E. Waugh, the well-known real estate agent here. She was a devoted member of the Dumbarton Methodist Church in George- town, and was generally known as @ seal- ous worker in the Sunday school. Antiques.
