THAW JURORS ALLO ED

 OATHS.

Death of Juror BoItOn's Wife Causes a
 POStpOnement of the Trial Until
 Monday and Court Believes it Unfair
 to Keep Other Members of Jury Fur
 ther From Their Homes During the
 papers--Trusts Trial May Proceed on
 Dny Fixed.
 New York, Feb. 14--Another tragic chapter in the history of the Thaw- White episode was written to-day when grim death stepped in to halt the fam ous trial in it's fourth week. The wife of Juror No. il, Mrs. Joseph E. Bol- ton, passed away this afternoon soon after her husband had reached her bed- side. He had been summoned from the court room, where the trial had been in progress for less than fifteen minutes. The formal announcement of Mrs. Bol- tons death was made in court shortly after 2 D. m, the hour set for the aft ernoon session, and Justice Fitzgerald immediately ordered an adjournment of the case until next Monday morn ing. The court also ordered, with the consent of counsel. that the other elev- en jurymen be given their liberty, ana no longer be held together. He ad- monished the jurors to be guided by their honor and their oaths, and not to readthe newspapers or discuss the Thaw case with anybody.
 The death of Juror Bottoms wife cast a gloom over the criminal courts building, and had particularly de- pressing effect upon every one connect- ed with the trial. The prisoner seemed to feel the matter quite keenly when he was brought into court this after noon to hear the formal announcement of the order for a postponement of his Thaw jurors have been kept in close confinement since they were selected for trial service, and that Mr Bolton had been allowed to visit his home only three times during his wife's Ill., ness, lent a pathetic aspect to the case, and the greatest sympathy for the af- flicted man was expressed on all sides.
 DuIlIlS lIlG pIIel OlillflB SSSotOll' when MT. Bolton had taken his place in the box, Thaw fixed the juror with his gaze as he entered. It was not a stare oi curiosity or of concern as to his own welfare that the defendent turned upon the juryman, but there seemed rather to be a light of sympa- thy in the eyes of the man accused of the murder of Stanford White.
 Mrs. Bolton suffered from double pneumonia. Her condition became se- rious yesterday when the morning ses- sion of the trial was abandoned to allow the juror to visit his home, which is far up in the Bronx. Bolton was accompanied by two other jurymen, and by two court officers. The law which was invoked at the beginning of the trial to keep the jurymen together

 The board voted to continue the crusade against unmuzzled dogs. The wagons will start the rounds again on Monday.

Chief Engineer Stevens Sends Samples
 of Borings at Gatun.

Washington, Feb. 14-The isthmian canal commission has received from Chief Engineer Stevens, for the use of the senate committee on inter-oceanic canals, samples of o.ings made at lock sites at Gatun and Pedro Mibuel In a letter which accompanied these samples, describing the locations from which they were taken Mir. Stevens said:
 T have seen press statements lately that these drills have encountered mud and water. and material of similar na- ture. All of these statements are ab- solutely and unquaifiedly false. The drills have passed through nothing, and have encountered nothing excepting the material I have described and the sam ples of borings which I have sent you.
 Nothing in any investigation which has been made during the last year and half has tended to show but that the foundations of the Gatun locks will be as solid as the ternal hills and any statements to the contrary are either the products of diseased imaginatIons or wilful lies.

THAT GREAT SPOT ON SUN.
DISTURBANCE AT PITTSBURG NOT OBSERVED ELSEWHERE.

Several Peals of Thunder Accompanied
 by Vivid Flash of Lightning During
 BIizzard-Professor Brashear Ex-
 pected Other Phenomena--Yesterda
 the Great "Freckle" Was Directly
 Facing the Earth.
 Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 14.-A phenom- .enal atmospheric disturbance occurred at 12:52 to-day, when in the midst of blizzard several peals of loud thun- der were heard, accompanied by q vivid flash of lightning.
 Professor John A. Brashear of the AL legheny observatory, who announced last night the discovery of one of the greatest sun spots ever called to the attention of astronomers, said regard ing to-day's phenomenon;
 ''The awe-inspiring disturbance to- day was the most remarkable thing I have ever known. In view of the gi- gantic sunspot I expected electrical disturbances some time to-day. I thought, however, it would take the form of the aurora borealis, or that telegraph and telephone communication would be seriously affected From a  scientific standpoint, can say nothing definite regarding it, owing to my ina bility to seethe sun.
 "At noon to-day the great sun spot, which is 118,0OO miles long and S0O0O miles wide, covering an area of about 3,54O, 900 square miles, was directly facing the earth. This spot is very active Taking these facts into consid- eration it is not hard for oneto stretch their imagination, and connect the cause of to-day's disturbance with the sun spot Then again there is a white line, about 10000 miles long, running through the spot, and in my belief this white line is responsible for conditions to-day and any additional phenomena which are apt to follow.
 In Allegheny City the disturbance caused an interruption of the police and fire alarm signal system. The tenn perature in this city has fallen twenty three degrees since morning, with the expectation of zero conditions before tomorrow.

LAKE SUPERIOR co.
 AND ORE LAND DEALS
COMPANY NOT ORGANIZED TO
 DEFEAT THE LAW.

James J. Hill of the Great Northern
 Testifies Before Committee of Minne-
 sota LegisIature--Protests Against c. H. Venner of New York as a Pro- fesslonal LitigaDt-Less Than s2,OOO-
 900 in Securities Transferred to tho
 Lake Superior.
 St. Paul, Minn., Feb. A-The house committee which was appointed to in quire into the Great Northern deal in ore lands, by which the railroad re- gently transferred its haldi1lgs to the Oliver Mining company, began its hear ings to-day, James J. Hill being on the witness stand Representative Miller endeavored to secure an admission from Mir Hill that the Lake Superior company, which held title to the ore lands was organized to defeat the law which prohibits railroads from dealing in stocks of other corporations. Ill this he was not entirely successful. Mir Hill stated that it was his belief that the ore lands contain 5O0,0O0,0OO tons of ore.
 c. H. Venner, a New York stock broker, who has a suit pending again st the Great Northern, caused Mir. Hill to protest by attempting to suggest ques- tions to the examiner The railroad president declared that as the gentle man whom he termed a professional litigant'' had a legal issue with him, he thought it unjust that he should be compelled to disclose anything for the visitors benefit.
 MT, Hill testified that less than $2,- 000,000 in securities had been transfer red to the Lake Superior company, but a reference to the books of the com pany showed that the Great Northern had turned over securities amounting approximately to $S,OO0,00O. These were mostly stocks of various subsidiary railroads land, ore, logging and devel- opment companies. The agreement by which they were transferred showed tnat the company was not 10 sell or aS- sign any part of them without Great Northern's consent MT. Hill said that practically ail the property represented by the securities had to do with the welfare of the railroad, and the aim was to have the Lake Superior compa- ny administer them for the benefit of the railroad and it's stockholders. He claimed, however, that the Lake Su- perior company could buy other prop erty, and that although the two com panies were similarly officered, "sep- arate ownership could be established y
 The hearing will be continued to- morrow.
 Quite a number of New Haven and Connecticut people were interested in the Lake Superior.

London, Feb 14.-Following his an- nouncement yesterday of the govern ment's intention to introduce a meas ure to improve the government of Ire land, Augstine BirrelL chief secretary for Ireland, gave formal notice to-day that bill "to establish an Irish coun- ell and for other purposes connected herewith would be introduced. Thus is the liberal government keeping it's promise to the nationalists to place Irish legislation to the forefront of the present session of parliament.
 One of the most difficult details which faced the government was whether the council should be elected or nominated. In the original draft of this bill an en- tirely nominative body was proposed, but John E. Redmond, the Irish leader, rejected this as useless and proposal which he and the other Irish leaders could not support.
