PARIS, December 12—Prasentation of evidence has been concluded in the breach of promise sult brought by the Marguis de Ponteves, fifty-four, an officer in the French army, against the Countess de Beaurepaire, formerly Wirs. Ferris Thompson of New York. The countess' barrister explained in court yesterday that she had made the VELERS to Cincinnati and St. Louis appreciate the convenient, dependable schedule of Baltimore and Ohio train No. 1. Leaving Washington practically at the close of the business day, No. 1's arrival at Cincinnati is of particular convenience for the traveler having early morning appointments, while its well-timed arrival at St. Louis assures the making of evening connections to the West and Southwest. An Observation-Lounge car as far as Cincinnati adds _greater comfort to the journey. And Baltimore and Ohio Dining Cars, serving well- cooked food at reasomable prices, provide all meals en route.
