Early Day Happenings
49,. In Phoebe .-

A Visit To The Mines Having
for some time past neglected to
give our readers a description of
the different mills in this vicin-
ity, we concluded last week to
take trip to the neighboring
valley, and see and judge for
ourselves, as to the workings
and capacity of the different
mills located therein. We have
time and again made represen-
tations through these columns to
the effect that all we needed was
more stamps in the district to
enable us to double our present
shipments, and in substantation
thereof, we have only to state
that we have only five custom
mills in the whole district, and
these are generally employed on
contracts from five to six months
each, while thousands of tons of
ore assaying from $500 to 49, 900
per ton are lying idle on the
dumps. AS a natural conse-
quence, work must sooner or.
later be suspended, or the mines
sold at a sacrifice, the funds of
the parties working them being
exhausted and no returns COM
ing in to them. To outside cap
italists we would say: Nowhere
on the Pacific Coast have better
inducements ever been offered
for investment, with a certainty
of speedy returns, than is today
held out to you in Phoebe, in the
erection of twenty stamp mills
or the purchase of mines.
The new road hereafter to be
travelled by the Hamilton stages
cuts off that dusty portion of the
road, formerly such a terror to
those who have gone over it.
The cutoff is by way of High
land. The distance is greatly |
shortened and every provision is
made to insure the comfort of
the passengers.
Blown Down During the pre-
valence of the heavy gale which
ragged last week the smokestack
over the engine at No. Z shaft
of the Meadow Valley Company
was blown down, and in falling,
crushed a portion Of the hosting
works. The accident was caused
by the loosening of one of the
guys by team running against
it. Matters were righted an
hour or so after the occurance,
and work proceeded with as
usual.
For the Benefit of the Phoebe
Brass Banda ball for the bene-
fit of the band will be given
Friday at the Capitol Hall. Be
ing crowded and a little under
the weather." we found it inn
possible to put the various COM
mittees, invitation, etc. in type
in time for this issue. The OBJ
ject is a worthy one, to liquidate
the indebtedness of the band,
and we have no doubt all the
citizens will respond most liber-
ally.
A husband advertises thus:
my wife, Maria, has strayed
or been stolen. Whoever re-
turns her will get his head brok-
en-. AS to trusting her, any,
body can do so if they see fit,
for as | never pay my own debts,
it is not likely I'll pay her'n.
Why 1t Is So While it is true,
and generally admitted, that we
have here some of the best mines
in the state, it is also evident
that many are allowed to re-
main idle, mainly for the want
of capital to develop them and a
sufficient number of mills to re-
duce the ore extracted. No
mining district of the state has
so uniformly returned to the
mine owners the original invest
ment and still leaving and abun-

NEW HAVEN GRAYS
Held Thanksgiving Service Yesterday
 At St Paul's in New Haven.

The memorial service for the New Haven Grays who escaped so luckily in the railroad wreck was held yes- terday morning at St Paul's church in the Elm City. All the front seats on both sides of the center aisle had been reserved for the company, and the members, together with a large number of veterans, marched from the armory to the church, shortly after 1O:30 o'clock. The congrega- tion was largely composed of friends and relatives of the members of the company.

PRAYER FOR THE PRESS.
New Britain Pastor Hopes God Will
 Guide Newspapers.

l New Britain. March lS.-Rev Dr T. Edwin Drown. pastor of the First
 Baptist church, delivered prayer at the morning service at the South Church chapel yesterday which caus- ed some talk among the congregation.
 He did not mention the $600,000 defaulter in the course of his prayer, but it was generally understood that he had the case in mind, when he spoke .... The point of his prayer was an ap- peal to God to guide newspapers aright. He prayed that the Lord would enlighten them and that they might not be the cause of sorrow to those, who have been suffering deep affliction. Walker is still on the roll as deacon of the church.
 Nothing further can be said at this time about the finding of more of the banks stolen securities reported in Saturdays papers. An attempt has been made to negotiate some of the stolen bonds but William H. Hart said last night that the publishing of the details would injure the banks case.
 Commencing at once the savings bank will advance depositors pre- senting books for withdrawal of ac- counts amounts not exceeding in the aggregate $25 during each calendar month without requiring the 90 days notice. This action is taken to accommodate people who have been accustomed to depend upon the bank for ready money to meet obligations.

New York, March 1S.-The cable dispatch received last night by the reporting that terrible massacres have occurred at Podihilo, Roumania, has caused consternation among the Rou- manian Jews in New York.

WAS TOO VIOLENT
Stock Market Recovery of Salur- day Couldn't Stand the
 Buoyancy
ANOTHER FLOP TO-DAY

New York, March Excitement was revived in the stock market to- day by a break of disturbing propor- tions in the opening dealings. The outpouring of stocks was attributed mostly to rush to realize at the buoyant recovery which had been achieved on Friday and Saturday from extreme depression of Thursday. Speculative sentiment was practical ly agreed that the recovery had been too violent and too sudden to be healthy. The wide declines register ed in London before the market open ed here shook the nerves of many holders who had safely. weathered the storm of last week. A large re- duction of the short accounts also deprived the market of an element of support, and there was reselling of stocks bought at the decline mere ly for the purpose of supporting the market. The conspicuous declines were: Northern Pacific and Anaconda 3 3-4, Canadian Pacific 3, Minneapo- lis, St Paul and Saulte Sainte Marie {. Union Pacific and Reading 2 3-S. Atchison 1-4, Amalgamated copper and Sloss Shefield steelt2 and long list of the most active stocks from l to. 2 points. Prices rebounded all most immediately 1 to 1 1-2 and while the recoveries were not fully held, the excitement abated largely.
 In banking quarters the rapid re- coveries of last Friday and Saturday were deprecated and there were in timations that oppressive measures might be used to prevent other than gradual and orderly recovery.
 The steel stocks were heavily sold by commission houses, reports credit ing much of the selling to Pittsburg. Cleveland and Chicago.

BRIDGES THREATENED.
The Flood and Fire City Keeping an
 Eve on the Passaic.

Paterson. N. J.. March 1S.-Ice foes in. the Passaic river threaten the bridges below the Passaic Falls and the Hillman street bridge was or dered closed yesterday. That bridge is reckoned weak. Although there Is no danger of a repetition of the disastrous flood of four years ago un- less heavy rains come. the river is greatly swollen. This condition is caused principally by the warm spell of the last two days. which has melted great quantities of ice and snow in the mountains in the upper part of Passaic county. swelling all the tributaries of the Passaic. In twen- ty-four hours ending at 10 o'clock yesterday morning the river rose twelve inches. but since that time 1t has been stationary.

DIAMOND THIEVES CAUGHT.

New York Police Find Gems Valued
 ot e35,O stolen In London.
 NEW YORK, March 1S.-With $S5, 900 worth of jewels sewed in the lin ing of their clothing, A. Preston Green and Charles Pierre ROhrer, two of Americas most notorious criminals, were seized by detectives on the ar rival of the Hamburg American liner Amerika at her pier here.
 Recovery of this giittering array of plunder was the sequel to sensation al robbery of $100,000 worth of gems in London. The capture is regarded by the police as the most important transatlantic one ever made, and the plunder Is the greatest ever brought over the ocean, so far as known.
 Incidental to the arrest of the dia- mond thieves there is an interesting feature connected with the story.
 Two women, Mrs. Kit Dealtry of New York and Mrs. Lionel Wilson, an American woman living in Japan. now en route to Spokane, Wash. became acquainted during the voyage with the diamond thieves, and until the steamship landed here and the stylish ly dressed young men were put under arrest they were of the opinion that they were the .'nlcest men on the shipi'
 Because of their companionship these women were erroneously looked upon as accomplices of the thieves, searched and much embarrassed. They were taken to police headquarters, but released subsequently.
 Tn addition to the robbery features. the United States treasury officers look upon the case as the greatest attempt at smuggling they ever had to deal with. The two men when caught with the plunder were asked by the GUS toms officers to put value on the con- cealed goods.
 "Oh, make 1t s15,0O0w exclaimed Rohrer coolly.
 Might as well mark it down $100.- OO0." nonchalantly remarked his con- federate. Green.
 Those gals had nothing to do with us," exclaimed one of the crooks.

Jerome Starts Off ThaW Trial By Introducing Negatives of
 Mrs Thaw's Signature
DELMAS OVERRULED
The Attorneys For Both Sides Have About Agreed That the Arguments Will Be Given This Week and
 Jury Will Get Case Monday.

New York, March 1S.-There was hfteen minute delay in the opening Of the Thaw trial this morning.
 When the proceedings began Mir Jer- ome offered in evidence broken pieces Of photographic negative of the last page of the famous Hummel affi- davit, bearing the signature of Eve lyn Nesbit. NIT. Delmas promptly ob- Jected to it's introduction and began an argument on the point. The defense had three new experts Tn court to-day, making seven alto- gether appearing for the defendant. The new alienists are Dr Charles w. Pilgrim, superintendent of the Hud- son river state hospital at Pough- keepsie, N. Y., and president of the state lunacy commission; Dr William A. White, medical superintendent of the government hospital for the in sane, at St Elizabeth's, Washington, D. C., and Dr Minas Gregory, in charge of the pavilion for the insane at Bellevue hospital, this city.
 
 The other four experts for the de- fense are Drs Britton D. Evans and Charles c. Wagner, who have all ready been upon the stand, and Dr Smith Ely Jelliffe and Graeme M. Hammond. who have not as yet been called. but have been in court daily.
 Justice Fitzgerald overruled the objection, and the negative was ac- cepted in evidence. MT Jerome then offered in evidence a photographic print from the negative.
 Both District Attorney Jerome and the Thaw lawyers seemed to be agreed yesterday that unless some thing unexpected presented itself MT Delmas would begin calling his wit nesses in sur-rebuttal this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
 Evelyn Thaw will probably be the first witness called by MT Delmas in sur-rebuttal. Her testimony will be contradiction of that given by Law yer Abraham Hummel regarding the affidavit. Whether Dr Britton D. Evans and Dr Charles G. Wagner, the defense's experts. will be called dSoih. lhdW D ldWltIS uo HOL seem sure, although it is their intention to call Dr Graeme Hammond and Dr Smith E. Jelliffe and possibly three or four other alienists.
 Thaw's lawyers expect that the case will go to the jury by Monday night next. Further examination and cross-examinations of witnesses. they believe, will take three days. Mir Delmas will want a full day for his summing up and MT Jerome the same amount of time. In that case Justice Fitzgerald will probably adjourn the court until the following Monday morning. His charge is very likely to take up a whole session at least.
 The Hummel affidavitt was admit ted as evidence by consent and read to the jury. In it Evelyn Nesbit al- cused Thaw of unmercifully beating her many times while in Europe in 1903.
 When the Thaw trial opened this | afternoon Mir Delmas called Police | man Anthony as a witness, he was | excused without cross examination | after he stated that he said in the district attorneys office that Thaw | acted rationally. Policeman James Barrett was then called to the stand.

Not ,o Boom Taft For President.

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-Secreta- ry Loeb last night denied published statements that the White House con ference in which Governor Charles S. Deneen and Attorney General Stead participated was for the purpose of promoting the candidacy of Secretary Taft for the presidency. The story originated. it is said. from the fact that Secretary Taft and his brother. Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati. called at the executive office while the presi- dent was in conference with the Hi nois officials and were introduced to the presidents visitors. The only ref erence made to politics during the con- ference was that the president asked Governor Deneen regarding the mayor alty fight in Chicago.

Latest Paris Idea.

Apropos of the vogue for the kimo- noform one notices on the newest models from Paris a decided drop to the shoulder seam if. as may perfect ly be, the sleeve is not one with that seam. The wide loose armhoIe is also a characteristic bit of newness, and to accentuate that width by an en- circiing band of contrasting trimming is noteworthy. too. And then as to the newest skirts.-they are all ab- solutely plain and very long all about. unless. of course. they are to be worn for a morning walking costume. and then they are excessively short There is nothing more graceful than a quite plain skirt. so this latest mode will be a welcome one.
