Breckenridge Sued Over Seduction by Madeline Pollard
Washington headlines reveal a suit in the District of Columbia Supreme Court charging Congressman W C Breckinridge with breach of promise to marry Madeline Pollard. Pollard, a Kentucky woman, alleges seduction began in 1884 while she was 17 and a student at Wesleyan Seminary, with alleged marriage delays and a later, new marriage. The case, long rumored, poses a sensational political scandal with lingering questions about Breckinridge’s wives and social circles.

Patterson Sparch and Silver Debate Highlighted by Interruption
Col Patterson delivered a forcible argument Monday defending unconditional repeal of the Sherman Act and support for silver. He cited his past stance while criticising opponents who accuse him of changing views, and stated he would follow Mr. Cleveland’s Democratic line. McDearmon may align with Patterson on silver, while other Tennessee Democrats favor silver and oppose repeal.

A dense OCR fragment lists numerous heirs and named individuals across Treated districts, including J B’s heirs, Longmires heirs, and scattered mentions of Crumley, Crumley & Co, Overton, Smith, Stratton, and Walker families.
