During the whole of the time his
wife was on the stand Thaw had not
taken his eyes from her until this
portion of her testimony vas reached.
Then he buried his face in a hand
k%erchief, and his body shook with
emotion. His eyes were tear stained
and red when he next locked up.
Whites subsequent conduct, as re-
lated by Mrs. Thaw. was cynical in
the extreme. In spite of this confes-
sion Thaw insisted that he would
marry her if she would love him, de-
claring that no one could blame ESr
for her misfortune. They quarreled,
and she anne back to New York.
By q most adroit maIeuvre Of the
defense all this astounding story told
by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was intro
duced in the guise Of information i'm
parted by her to Thaw. AS such it
was admissible only as tending to
demonstrate its influence upon the
sane or insane condition of his mind
at a later period.
Just before the midday recess was
reached and after Mrs. Thaw had told
of the struggles Of her earlier life,
how she had eventually come to pose
for artists and then went on the
stage, Mr.. Delmas tried to get into
evidence a letter Thaw wrote and
gave to Miss Nesbit, addressed to F.
w. Longfellow, his legal adviser in
this city. After recess, by a series OF
adroit moves, Mr.. Delmas succeeded
in having the letter admitted as tend
ing to show the condition of Thaw's
mind after the confession the girl mad
made to him. 1t was a rambling
communication, and to it was pinned
another slip of paper, on which was
written: Up. S.-If you can't read
this, don't trouble"
In the third letter admitted and
read, Thaw spoke of the strain he
under, and gave evidences Of 1t
in many rambling, almost incompre-
hensible statements.

2 KILLED, IS INJURED
AS BOILER BURSTS
Ontario & Western Locomotive
Blows Up Near iuzon, N. Y.
FEEDER PIPES HAD FROZEN
Train Running 10 Miles IA Hour
When the Cars Seemed to Strike
on the Rebound.

Middletown, N. 1.-Two men were
blown to pieces, a third is fatally
hurt and twelve passengers were in
jured by the bursting of the boiler
of a locomotive of the Ontario and
Western road just south Of Luzon,
Sullivan County. The engine was
drawing No. 3 train, one of the finest
on the road, and was making forty
miles an hour when suddenly there
was a terrible roar and the sound of
ripping and tearing of iron. The
train of cars rammed the wreck and
four of them left the rails. When
the steam cleared away there was
nothing but scrap iron left of the
locomotive. One hundred feet away
in a field was the shattered body of
Martin Mullen, the fireman. Fifty
feet from Mullen's body the engineer,
William Gadwood, was lying uacon-
scious and fatally hurt.
There was a third man riding in
the cab of the locomotive and he was
DlONA luIO ludIs lloSIlCllIS. llC 10
believed to have been j. D. Valquette,
an engineer off duty, who was going
to his home in Cadosia. The cause
of the strange accident is said to have
been the freezing of the pipes be-
tween the tank and the boiler. This
caused the boiler to become over
heated and when the cold water was
finally turned on the explosion result
ed. None of the passengers were
seriously injured, and they we're at
tended by Dr.. Percy Deadly, of the
Loomis Sanitarium, Liberty, who was
on the train.
The train left New York and
reached here on time. There we're
fifty passengers on the train. In less
than an hour dispatches were re-
ceived here from Luzon that the train
vas wrecked, and calls for a relief
train accompanied the news. With
out delay a train was made up here,
with physicians and a wrecking crew,
and started at high speed for the
scene of the accident. The distance
was thirty-three miles, but it was
covered in record time. When the
relief train came up with the wreck
four of the cars we're ditched. .
The passengers were all out of the
cars. Those who were not injured
were standing about helplessly in the
cold. Beside the track the conduc-
tor, Charles E. Doell. and the bag
gagemaster, Peter Reilly, were found
painfully injured. The physicians
found Doell was suffering from a
broken shoulder bone and internal
injuries, and Reilly probably had a
permanent back injury.
Officials of the road began at once
an investigation of the wreck. They
learned from the passengers chat the
train was bowling along at forty
miles an hour on a level stretch of
road, and that there. was not the
slightest suggestion of there being
anything wrong. Suddenly there was
heard what the passengers described
as a horrible roar" and the cars
seemed to be thrown upon one an
other. They seemed to strike an OBJ
struction and rebound. 1t was in
the rebound that four of the coaches
were ditched.

Saluting a Cat.

In Poona, at the government house,
for more than a quarter of a century
every cat which passed out OF the
front door at dark was saluted by the
sentry, who presented arms to the
terrified pussy.
It seems that in 1888 Sir Robert
Grant, governor Of Bombay, died in
the government house, Poona, and on
the evening Of the day Of his death
a cat was seen to leave the house by
the front door and walk up and down
a particular path precisely as the late
governor had been used to do after
sunset. A Hindu sentry observed
and reported this to the sepoys OF
his faith and they laid the matter
before a priest, who explained to
them the mystery of the dogma OF
the transmigration of souls. I'm
this cat" he said, "was reincarnated
the soul of the deceased Governor
Grant, and it should, therefore, be
treated with the military honors due
, to his e~xcellency."
AS, however, the original sentry
could not identify the particular cat
he had e on the evening of the
day of Sir Roberts death it was de-
cided that every cat which passed
out of the main entrance after dark
should be saluted as the avatar of
his excellency. Thus for over a quar-
ter of a century every cat that passed
out after sunset had military honors
paid to it, not by Hindu sentinels
alone, but-such is the infection OF a
superstition-by Mohammedan, ma
tive Christian and even Jewish El-
diers.-South China Post.

st. Paul, Minn.-Telegrams from
the Canadian border just north of the
North Dakota boundary show that a
grave condition prevails there owing
to the fuel famine and the blockade
of railroads. Three families of new
settlers have merged their effects into
one household while the homes of the
remaining two are being torn down
and burned to keep the families from
freezing. The plan has been adopted
by scores of farm, families. Where
grain was not shipped it is being
burned as fuel. Thirty-one dead
bodies frozen in homestead shacks
or on the prairies have been
brought into the various towns of the
Northwest, and it is expected that the
list will be swelled to half a hundred
by the time the snow disappears.

John J. Geiselman died at the Mel
drum hospital on Monday evening of
earth another Of the old-timers in the
west, a the Buffalo Bulletin. The
deceased vas born at Gettysburg, Pa,
"a years ago and came west to Denver
in 1860. In 1867, when Cheyenne was
started, he moved to that town and
worked for E. Maggie and d. b. Tapley,
who were engaged in the grocery bust
ness. Later he was employed at the
Mule ranch, in the Sibylee country,
where he has since resided, working
first at the Hoe ranch on Powder riv-
err, owned by Henry A. Blair Of Chi
cago, and later for H. w. Davis. In
the early COS he was justice of the
peace at Sussex, since which time he
has been commonly known as "the
squire" many people knowing him by
no other name. In late. years he has
been with Young Bros. Laing & Bal
den and the Rand Bros, looking after
the stores and supplies of these out
fits. He came into town a short time
ago for medical treatment and has
been cared for at the Medium hos
pital. He was unmarried, and as far
as his acquaintances here know, leaves
no near relatives.
