The men themselves admit that the “overtime” feature has had a body blow so far as the officials are concerncd. CHANCE OF A TEST CASE One of the trainmen stated yesterday that very good Idea could be formed in the ning or today as to how long the present nference would last and also as to how near the trainmen and Mr. Clark could get to- gether on thelr points of difference. In many instances the same principles wers Involved In the cases of the engineers as would be presented in those of the firemen and the conductors and brakemen In case the engincers and Mr. Clark were able to agree on any of the: points It was fair to presume that the other branches of the service would also be able to agree and vico versa. In the matter of ‘“overtime' the same gentleman sald that when the agreement for its allowance was made tho company 80 arranged its train schedules as to reduce the claims for overtime to the minimum. This was accomplished by mak- ing the running time of the trains in many Instances so slow that there was very little chance for their not being able to make the time, Another instance was party to show where the cutting out of all allowance for ‘‘overtime” would work great injustice. This was at points where there was a large amount of switching to be done, but hardly enough to warrant the keeping of a switch engine and ¢ . The company says that it costs about $1,000 a month to run a switch crew At many of the coal mines in Wyomin and Colo o and at Greeley, Colo., and many other points on the system, train crews did the switching and wer allowed a small amount of “overtime” for doing the work. This amounted in most ases to from $300 to $500 per month, making a saving of from $500 to $700 a month to the company over the cost of maintaining a switch crew at these points. MR. CLARK'S POSITION. One of the men yester stated that while Mr. Clark, without doubt, intended to be falr and just in the matter it was almost an impossibility, in view of the nature of his past labors and connections. It was not like a judge taking up a case in court, of which he had no pr jous knowl- edge, and attempting to adjudicate it. Mr. Clark had fror necessity, on account of his long and intimate connection with the road In a managerial capacity, a view of the necessitics of the case formed from the standpoint of the company. How ever much and however honestly he might try to put aside thi opinion or bias it was too much to expect that he could. Humane nature was not so constituted that men could at will throw aside preconceived opinions and prejudices which were formed after mature delib tion and an intimate knowledge of the sub- Jeet While the men know that Mr. Clark takes and always has taken a deep interest in their welfare and always treats them cor- dially and courteously, his life work has been In the management of railroad prop- erty and his great chject is to make those proporties successful from the owner's point of view. He cannot thus, in the nature of things, then be expected 'to take the same view as the men when the inferests of the two classes are so widely at variance, ted by the same MISSOURI PACIFIC VIADUCT. Officlals In Omaha to Be Advised as to Its Details. General Manager Doddridge of the Mis- souri Pacific was In Omaha yesterday on his spring inspection tour of the system, ac- companied by Frank Reardon, superintendent of motive power and machinery, R. M. Peck, superintendent of bridges and buiidings, General Superintendent Clark and Division Superintendent Rathburn, “My mission to Omaha,” said Mr. Dod- dridge, “'was for the purpose of arriving at some definite conclusion with Mr. Potter of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company as to just where the proposed viaduct should be placed, and what would be necessary in an engineering sense for the completion of the structure. We ‘have practically agreed as to details, and now Mr. Potter will com- plete the plans for the final endorsement of President Gould. Of course it will be several months before these plans are accepted and the structure completed, which is designed to be a one track bridge across the raiiroad yards near the Missouri Paciflc round house. The elevation will be about thirty feet, but will start to rise at least half a mile from the viaduct proper, in the Fast Omaha bot- toms. “As to the Missouri Pacific occupying Council Bluffs, that is at present out of the question, in view of the difficulties now in the way. The statement in an evening paper as to our entering Council Bluffs and uniting four towns Is erroneous in view of the present drawbacks.” Passing to a general discussion of the railroad_situation, Mr. Doddridge expressed a hopeful view that the worst had been passed in a financial sense. “There is a better feeling noticeable in Kansas, Missouri and even Nebraska, and I believe we have experienced the last of the depression. Freight 1s picking up, and the demand for cars is growing." Askad as to the conference now going on between the Union Pacific and the men of the system, Mr. Doddridge stated that gen- erally the schedules were lower on the Mis- souri Pacific than on the Unlon Pacific. “I can understand why the officials of the Union Pacific desire to get down to business principles. Constructive mileage i3 a thing of the past and must be so regarded by every great system. Of course we do not have the grades on our system that the Union Pacific has, but it is harder railroad- ing on the Missouri Pacific than on the Union Pacific on account of the many small towns and villages and the number of rail- road crossings which we have to make. On the mountain division, about which we hear so much, and which I know thoroughly, having been suerintendent of that branch of the system long before the road was ex- tended from Huntington to Portland, rail- roading is the same as on the plains. It Is casy coming down hill and hard to get up. This is true of every grade in the country. While conditions are different with different systems the principles of railroading are the same. Mr. Doddridge leaves this morning for Atchison and then goes to Colorado to in- spect the system. Englneers Visit The Bee. C. A. M. Petrie of Ellis, Kan., J. L. Simp- son of Kansas City, E. L.

WAS ALL BUT INSANE. “Please remember the state of my mind when that article was written. I was all but insane,” she sald again when a minor discrepancy between her testimony and the article purporting to be hers, recently pub- lished In the New York World, was noted. At the Norwood convent she had worn a veil, so that no one but Sister Cecelia had seeh her face. During that time her lette to Colonel kinridge had been addressed to “Margaret Dillon, box 47, Lexington, Ky She had visited the convent after the suit filec had not at first zed her, but before-she left had said: undoubtedly been here.” “Did she not tell you you were an moral woman?" asked Mr. Buttorworth. “She did not; she attempted to give me a sort of lecture. She asked me why [ wanted to ruin_that old man in his old age. I re plied, ‘Why did he want-to ruin me in my youth?

I believe there is a prin- ciple behind this matter. I beliove that justice will be done, and I belleve that these men (turning to the jury) will help to sce it done. When Mr. Butterworth asked some qu tions about money matters, Miss Pollard sald her only effort at the time reforred to, as It always had been, was to conceal her relations with Mr. Breckinridge, Mr. Butterworth—You have not done any- thing as a free and independent agent sinc you passed under his control? Shaking her head, with a faint smile, she replied: “I don’t believe T ever have.” HER YOUNG AMBITION. Mr. Butterworth was asking Miss Pollard about her ambitions for the future in those early years, when sl’(;)nhl‘ “I knew 1 was to always be in Mr.” Bfeckinridge's life, be- cause the night before I left for the Nor- wood asylum he made me promise to give my baby away. He sald that If he was ever able to marry me he would and that if he could not marry me, he would keep me in his life always."” “Did you have any woman before you as an ideal?” Mr. Butterworth asked, and as Miss Pollard was answering “No, sir, 1 hoped to make a name by writing," her ers objected, and the judge sustained the objection. For two years, when she first was in Washington, she had met Mr. Breckinridge three or four times a week in a house on Fourth street. She had spent one summer at Bread Loaf, in Vermont, a_semi-fashion- able resort_ten miles from Middlebury, kept by Joseph Battell. She denied having repre- sented herself as an authoress of reputation. She had met there a woman named Mrs. Bridges of Brooklyn, “The one who wrote the article in the Standard Union."” What article?” asked Mr. Butterworth. “The one you are leading up to.” (The article in question was one which appeared Saturday.) “Was that article true?” question, “It is mainly untrue. It is colored to sult events. It is not true that I have ever taken opium, nor that I represented myself as the authoress of the poem ‘Love' Powers," written by Mrs. Josephine Pollard, She had read the poem at Bread Loaf to a small audience. Mr. Butterworth read extracts from the article, drawing ques- tions from them. DIDN'T KNOW JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL Miss Pollard had not known James Russell Lowell, as Mr. Bridges said had been her boast, but had visited his grave; had known nis relatives well and had been entertalned by his wife's sister, Mrs. Dr. Howe, in Cam- bridge. She had known Willlam Dean Howells, the author; had great respect for him, as he had always been kind in answer- ing her questions and had received letters from him, which her counsel possessed. It was suggested by Judge Bradley that this questioning was all collateral, where- upon Mr. Wilson said he had permitted it because he was very glad to have the article brought into the case; that he would use it later. He reminded Mr. Butterworth that the defense must be bound by the answers to those questions, and, with considerable sarcasm in his tone, trusted that Brother Butterworth would read the entire article. Miss Pollard, to further questioning, sald that on her return to Washington in the fall of 1892, when Mr. Breckinridge first formally proposed to marry her, he had met her— “Was it In a proper place?” interrupted Mr. Butterworth. “It was not; it was in a house of assigna- tlon on A street. He said to me, ‘Madeline, this is no place to talk of these things,' so we went out on the street together. He told me about his children, his prospects, and his intentions, “Dla you over talk of marriage while his wife was living ““Very rarely.' “But you did talk of it?" “We did.” Here the court adjourned with the cross- examination unfinished.

Be Vacy chers and Pupils Will Allowed the Usnal’ Spiring, ion The Board of Education decided In favor of a spring vacation this year, at the meet- ing last evening, by a majority of one vote. The matter camiiip in the shape of a reso- lution by BurgeSs, to the effect that the usual spring vatitien be allowed, in accord- ance with the rules of the board. Gibson opposed the resolution, contending that it would only demoralize the schools, and the week might better be taken off from the last of the term, when the warm weather made mental effort more*trying. Superintendent Fitzpatrick concnrred in this view. Tukey thought that both teachers and pupils could do better work after a brief rest, but Rhodes said that the teachers were no more entitled to a vacation than some members of the board were who worked ev in the year. Af*er some further usslon the resolution prevailed. Superintendent Fitzpatrick presented a re- port showing the increase or decrease in the various schools of the city, as compared with the corresponding date last year. = The net increase is 1,068, A communication was received from the contractors on the new Center school build- ing, stating that the building would be com pleted by March-a8, A recommendation from the committee on buildings and property that the Baptists be allowed the use of the Franklin annex free of charge for church purposes caused an extended discussion. President Powell and other members contended that the reso- lution was very much loaded, and said that to pass it wouid bg to venture on dangerous ground. If this church was allowed to use a school building the bars would have. to be let down in favor of all subsequent demands of like character. ~The resolution was with- drawn, W. C.

The proposition is to expend about $260 or $300 in having the ground put into good shape, with a view to making a first-class metropolitan club, On the other hand the president, Mr. C. S, Cul- lingham, and others contend that it is of greater importance that the game should be popularized as much as possible, and they are therefore in favor of having the fees as low as is practical in order that the mem bership may be as large as possible. The propose that the rate, therefore, be left where It was last year, namely, $7 Between the two factions there is conflict; and there seems to be no possibility o reconeiliation the basis of compro mise. It is proposed, if the proposition carry, that the weeds at the back of the courts on Harney street should be removed 80 as to allow more space behind the courts, that seats be erected along the back for the benefit of spectators, especially at tourna ment times, that the Harncy street side he boarded up and the boards whitewashed, with a view to securing a better light for the players, that the unsightly bank at the west end of the courts be removed, thereby affor ing a slight addition to the available space which would be sufficient to make the differ ence between a single and a double court During the scason, it is expectod, ral naments will be held on the Omaha ground, and it is naturally desired that tho accommodation for both players and public uld be as complete and as nice in oy spect as Is possible. At the it is urged that the club has sufficient c to accommodate a considerable number more members than it had last year, and that any increase in the fees will have the effect of keeping down the number of member So there the matter stands and a hot fight between the contending factions may bo | expected tonight.
