New York. March 22.-The Thaw
5,lrv was brought before Justice Fitz-
gerald in the supreme court today
and told they need not attend the trial
again until next Wednesday morning.
In the mean time Justice Fitzgerald
said he would receive afidavits from
the defense in ansWer to the sugges-
ton of District Attorney Jerome that
Harry K. Thaw. on trial for the Il
der of Stanford White, is at present
in a condition of mental unsOundneSS
which makes him incapable of advis-
ing his counsel or of understanding
the proceedings against him.
Justice Fitzgerald has designated To-
morrow at 2 o'clock as the time for
the defense 10 present its afidavits in
the clerks office. He Stated today
that the district attorney might have
until Monday next to make response
to the showing of the defensa.
Clifford Hartridge, Of Thaw's
sci, stated today that the affidavits
to be presented in Thaw's behalf will
be made by his attorneys and the var
iOuS alienistS who have appeared fer
the defense. These affidavits merely
will state that Thaw at present is able
to advise his counsel M fully under.
stands the proceedings against him.
THAT is all the law requires us to
say" said the attorney. "It is not a
question as to whether he is of I'M
sound mind at all; the only question
at issue is whether or not he under
stands the proceedings against him.
We claim we can produce overwhelm-
ing proof that he does. We will also
submit documentary evidence-ThaW's
own writings"
When Judge Fitzgerald took his
place on the bench today all the men,
bers of the Thaw family were seated
in the court room and when Harry
Thaw was called to the bar he SEEM
ed surprised and delighted to find
them present. They had all been ex-
Guided ever since the taking of testi-
mOny was begun. The prisoner bowed
to each member of the family sroup
in turn, and they all smiled back to
lIim confidently.
OF Thaw's attorneys neither Mr..
Delmas nor Mr.. Gleason was present.
It was generally understood the pro-
oeeding was to be but a formal ad-
journment of court until Justice Fitz-
gerald has had time to satisfy his
conscience as to whether or not a
commission in lunacy shall be ordesed.

Fayetteville, n. c., March 22.-The
Bennettsville "ShOofly'' on the Attain
tic Coast Line railroad, which left
here at 4.3O o'clock this morning was
wrecked at ParktOn at 4.57 and seE-
eral persons were more or less injured.
The injured are Mr.. George Bell, mail
clerk, a severe cut on the head and
several body bruises; Capt. E. H.
York, bad bruise on head and several
cut on head; Mr.. Hatchell, a number
of severe bruises on body. It is
thought that some of the above are
dangerously hurt. There were several
others who were slightly bruised and
badly shaken up.
The train was in charge Of Capt.
Ed. York, with Henry Clark at the
throttle. 1t tor the parting track
at ParktOn and was not running at
any great rate of speed. It was SO
dark that Engineer Clark did not see
a work train on the track and crash
ed into the rear end Of it. Why the
work train was ON this track and with
out lights displayed is being investi-
gated. The engine of the "Shoofy"
plowed into a car containing wreck
ing apparatus, which in it's turn teles-
COPIED the shanty car just ahead. In
this car was the rev of the work
train on1 ~ uroc hoI<o fhot MncC7sS
Grimsley and Hatchell were hurt. It
the "Shoofy' had struck the work
train with any considerable speed,
every one in the shanty car would
| have no Doubt been killed. The most
marvellous part about the wreck is
| that although Engineer Clark and his
fireman remained in the cab when the
crash came, and although the engine
itself was Badly wrecked, both escaped
with only a few slight scratches. Mr..
Bell was distributing mail when the
collision occurred and he was hurled
head foremost into the letter case
| eight feet away. Conductor York was
standing in the vestibule between the
second and third cars, and his head
was driven against the front a with
such force as to render him uncOn-
sciOus for several minutes. When the
crash came there vas great excite
ment and it was thought that many
persons must nave been killed. Be
sides the engine which was put out of
commission, the platform of the COM
bination baggage and mail a was
torn off and both ends of this car
and the one behind were badly smash
ed.

IECKED UP AT SEA.
Captain anG Mate OF abandoned
Schooner William III. Bailey brought
to New York

New YOr, March 22.-Captain Mas
sey and Mate Cramer of the American
schooner William H. Bailey, who with
the other members of the crew were
picked up in an open boat at sea on
March 8, after abandoning their vessel,
we've brought here today on the steam
er Vetia from the West Indies. The
other members of the crew were land
ed at Nassau and will be brought to
New York later.
The Bailey sailed from Charleston,
S. c., on March 4, for New York,
with a cargo of lumber. She had
scarcely cleared the land when the sea
became extremely rough. In the
midst Of the storm the schooner
sprung aleak, the pumps became
choked and she began to fill and set
tie so rapidly that every sea swept her
decks. On March Z, when the Bailey
became unmanageable, the crew left
her to her fate. They were picked up
by the steamer Graecia after they had
been drifting about in the little boat
for thirty-eight hours. The Graecia
was bound for Hayti, so the ship
wrecked men were landed at Inagua.
From that port the captain and the
mate We're brought here while the
other members Of the crew were sent
to Nassau.

ned the habilments Of a tramp and
spent several weeks hanging around
his congregation and told them Il few
things. He told them that the sa-
looDkeeper found it a good investment
to maintain a watering trough for
horses, for while the horses were
drinking the teamster stepped in and
got one for himself. The saloon doors
were always open, and a hungry nan
could always find food therein. He
told them that the salOonkeeper was
always kindly, always sympathetic aud
always ready to help. Then he wound
I'D by saying: For $500 men join ex-
elusive political and social clubs on
the avenue of the metropolis. For
S. some men join Young Mems Chris

the multitude of men whom only God
and the saloon keeper and the ward
boss know nightly join the dem0chat-
ic club in American life, the American

the saloon is to be eradicated it must
be done by substituting for i some
