Darrow presented tbe petition andargued tbat Prendergast is now incaneand was at the time he killed MayorHarrieon, and tbat it would be a dis-grace to bang an insane man. He of-fered no additional evidence. Hepleaded that Prendergaet objected lobe hanged on Good Friday, and on thatground alone clemenoy should be ahownhim.

Immediately after the decision by thecourt ot appeals, Prendergast'e attorneysdeveloped a new loophole tor their clientby asking Judge Baker of the Btate cir-cuit court, under tbe state statute, tobave the sanity oi their client tried.Judge Baker granted tbe application andthe trial began tbis aiternoon.

The point now raised is that Prender-gast has become insane since the trial;they applied to Judge Chetlain, and heconaented to hear arguments to showthat be could properly take the matterup. It was nearly 10:30 tonight beforethey concluded their nperiug argu-ments, and Judge Chetlain decided thathe could rightfully take tbe case. Hav-ing beard the arguments, Judge Chet-lain announced bis decision, extendingtbe time oi execution two weeks, toApril 6tb, and setting the commence-ment oi the trial aB to tbe prisoner'ssanity ior Saturday morning at 10o'clock.

The ground upon which the conrtgranted the stay was the testimony oftwo witnesses who stated that Prender-gast haa become Insane aince his trial.

iffGilbert was eeen a few minutes ago,and by hia remarks haa added an ele-ment of uncertainty as to whether ornot Prendergaßt shall hang today.

THE MARCH BLIZZARD.

ONEOF THE WORST EXPERIENCEDIN YEARS.

Great Lou of Stock on the Ranges Inthe Northwest? Railroad Traffic

Greatly Delayed by theSnow Drifts.

Salt Lake, March 22.?A specialIrom Cheyenne to tbe Tribune save thestorm ot the past two days hes been thetrrtrit experienced in this aection aince1892. Tbe tirat mail and passengertrain sent east since the storm beganleit bere at 10 o'clock today. Tbe roadia now open and trains are being dis-patched as rapidly ac possible. Trainson all roads In Northeaate.-n Wyomingand Northwestern Nebraska were aban-doned for two days, and no attempt willbe made to get them through till tomor-row. Snow in many places ia drilted 20or 30 feet high. Tbe loss to stockmenwill undoubtedly be heavy as iced haabeen acarce on the ranges during thewinter, and cattle were in no conditionto atand the blizzard. There are rumorsirom Buffalo and Lander that severalmen who were caught in tbe Btorm whilein charge of cattle were irozen to death.

Omaha, Neb., March 22.?The blizzardtbat bas been raging over the north-west ior 48 hours continued today inWestern and Central Nebraska, EasternWyoming and tbe Ble-'c Hills. Alltrains on tbe Union Pacific betweenNorth Platte and Cheyenne are tied up,but snow plows are out and a great effortwill be made to clear tbe tracks, andtrains will leave for tbe west thie even-ing. Snow has ceased falling westof Cheyenne, but a tierce galeis blowing. The Elkborn road is snowedup west of O'Neill, and the Burlington'sWyoming line is entirely blocked. Tbesnow reached the Missouri river today,but only in light flurries. The realstorm had only advanced as far east acColumbua at noon. Tbe snow varies mldepth irom one foot on tbe level at Syd-ney to four feet at Spear fish. Tbe effecton cattle will be disastrous, as all tbebig ranches of the state are in the dia-trict covered by the deep snow.

The railroads in tbe blockaded dis-tricts are making all baste to take ad-vantage of tbe cessation of the enow fallto clear their tracks. They have outenow plows and shoveling gangs andLope to get tbe tracks clear within 24hours. The worst blockade reported isirom Chadron, where eeveral trains areanowed in irom six to 10 miles fromtown. The track has not been usedsince Monday. One train reachedChadron alter being held in a snowbank 30 hours.

Not Yet flared on theWitness Stand.

B the Associated Press.Washington, March 22. ?Counael for

Colonel Breckinridge bave decided tofollow the example oi their opponentsby reserving their clieut'a testimony fortbe closing card in tbeir case. Accord-ingly, the silver-baired congressmandisappointed many people by failing togo on tbe witness stand today, and oneof tbe disappointed onea waa Mies Pol-lard beraelf, who left the court ac aoonas ehe learned tbe programme. Tneentire day waa dragged out by the read-ing of depoaitiona, all aimed at twopoints?to prode Mies Pollard did notgive birth to a child at tbe Norwoodconvent in 1885, and tbat ehe ie othertban she represents herself to be. Tberewill be nothing more for the jury untilMonday, as tbe court intends to adjournFriday, and tbe sessions Saturday willbe devoted to argumenta over the ad-missibility of depositions to show thatMies Pollard had been intimate withother men than the defendant, to whichthe plaintiff bas given notice oi ob-jections.

LETTERS TO THE COURT.Judge Bradley bas been the recipient

since tbe commencement oi this trial ofan unusually large correspondence con-cerning tbe cade. Many lettera comefrom religious people urging him in theinteteate of tbe morals of tbe communityto exclude newspaper reporters irom thecourt, a power which the judge says isnot in his power to exercise. A missivewhich caused tbe judge to smile wassigned by a woman member of the bar,and suggested tbat since he excluded allwomen from the conrt room when MissPollard gave ber testimony, tbat tbemen should be treated likewise and thewomen admitted when Colonel Breckin-ridge takea theatand.

READING OF DEPOSITIONS.The trial was resumed this coaming

witb the reading of affidavits oa behalfof the defendant.

Mica Pollard wae in the habit ofIclaiming relationship or friendahip witb 'the moat prominent people in Ken- !

lucky, among them Breckinridge and jBla<;kburn. This bad grown into a |joke at school, so tbat the visit ofBreckinridge, being unexpected, im-pressed itaelf upon hia mind as a cor-roboration c' her claims. Witness re-membered Breckinridge bad taken MissPollard driving. By the scholars MisaPollard was called jokingly, MadelineVivian Bill Breckinridge Joe BlackburnPollard.

After the noon recess, Judge Bradleyannounced that the court would adjourntonight until Monday on account oiGood Friday.

Brown's evidence waa continued. He

said Rhodes looked like an honest oldfarmer. Witness nevt heard anythingoi tbe relations between Miss Pollardand Prof. Overmeyer except in a letterto Wessie Brown thatshe (Miss Pollard)was consumed by undying love of him.Witness testified that according to hisrecollection, based on hie diary, Breck-inridge had not visited Miss PollardAugust 2d, and never visited her butonce. He had been criticised lor per-mitting Miss Pollard to go riding withBreckinridge by those at school.

A VERY NICE GIRL.In cross-examination itdeveloped that

Miss Pollard had been considered atschool a very nice girl" and "a brightgirl." Brown in redirect examinationdeclared Miss Pollard old enough wheniv school and had sufficient generalknowledge to resist improper advancesfrom men. It was part of the curricu-lum to teach girls what sort of treat-ment they should expect from gentle-men.

The deposition of Dr. U. B. Williams,who lived at Bridgeport, Ky? in 1805,to the effect tbat that year he attendedMies Pollard's mother when Bhe gavebirth to a child. There were then threeother children, one of them a little totcalled Mattie or Maggie, and the childborn then w.-.e alao called Maggie.

Dr. J. Owen Robinson of Lexington,whose deposition was read, knew MisePollard; considered her not a beautifulgirl, but attractive, because of her in-tellectual brilliancy. He first metMadeline at the house of her uncle. Bheimpreeeed him as 16 or 17 yeara old.

A depoaition from F. M. bcbofield oiFrankiort, Ky., formerly a blacksmithof Bridgeport, waa read. He had knownMiaa Pollard's lather in 1863. He hadthree children then, the youngest Made-line, who looked like a child oi threeyears.

B) the Associated Press.Omaha, March 22.?Now it's strike.

The Union Pacific employees are restiveand noisy and there is an ugly look intbe sky. They are not saying manywords, but tbe tew they nae count for agood deal. Concessions they came for,and so far tbey have bad none. All theconceding bas been done by the men.Not a point bas been given in by thecompany, and wherever there was adifference oi opinion it still exists, un-less the men have receded irom theirposition. This has had a very depress-ing effect upon them. The men havealmost reached the conclusion that theconference is a useless waste oi time.This evening it was quietly announcedthat unless some very substantial con-cessions were made from the Dundyschedule tbe receivers oi the Union Pa-cific would have a strike on their hands.The men have determined to drop theconierence and will now allow tbe re-ceivers to settle ior themselves thapoint. If tbey decide to go beforeJudge Caldwell, insisting on the Dundyschedule, there will be opposition bothin and out oi couit.

There was a secret meeting oi the menlast night, at wbich Eugene V. Debsand others spoke in lavor oi discon-tinuing what they all called a farce. Mr,Debs went over the present situationand likened it to the Northern Pacificaffair, which ended at laat by forcing themen to yield to just what the company'sreceivers wanted.

Mr. Deba suggested that tha delegatesempower tbeir various chairmen to gettogether into a committee of action anddraft an agreement which would givetbem wbat tbey thought would be theirdues, thie to be submitted to Mr. Clarkin the event that Judge Caldwell wasuuabie to give what waa aaked- He wasloudly applauded.

In tbe next breath he suggested thattbe only other course open to the men,that of striking, in tbe event that thiademand waa not acceded to, be taken.Tbe applause continued, and Mr. Debs'
