Of Local Interest
From Fridays Bulletin

Amid the cheers. of GOO people, and the noisy salutes from every steam whistle in the city, locomotive No. 1 of the Alaska Home Railway made it's first formal trip over the rails Friday afternoon. Long before the time scheduled for the start, the crowd be- gan to gather, and it was hard for them to control their enthusiasm, for the fact was apparent that after years of waiting their hopes of railroad were about to be fulfilled Even the ele- ments smiled on the occasion and al, though it had been raining hard for three days previous, yet as the hour approached the rain stopped, the cloud parted, and while magnificent rain . bow encircled the heavens, the bright rays of the sun shed d golden iustre over the scene, apparently bap- tlem of good luck to the auccess of the officials
 In honor of the event the school closed few minutes before 9 o'clock, and the children came troop ing to the starting point just as the opening salutes began The starting point of the road waa at the corner of Mckinley street and Keystone avenue. the rails having been laid oul for distance of about a mile When all was ready Photographer Hunt made a picture record of the scene. and then Chief Engineer Stevens and Howard Reynolds escorted Mayor Quinn and little Valdez Cameron to the cab of the engine Mayor Quinn made few be- fitting remarks, congratulatiug the rail- way and the city on the success Of the enterprise, and wishing both all suc- cess possible for the future. At the conclusion his words were echoed by ringing cheers, refiecting the friend : ship and goodwill of those present.
 Two flat cars had been attached to the engiue, and these were occupied bv those who desired to have the honor of the first r.de ovar the road When all was ready, the signal was given by con ductor Jack Cavanaugh. The honor of pulling the throttle f>Il to Mayor Quinn, coached by the regular engineer George Brown, while Valdez Cameron manipulated the whistle cord.
 The first puff of the locomotive was the signal for the crowd to let loose their enthusiasm which they did with q will, and as the wheels began to re- volve cheer upon cheer flied the air. hats were waved, and all the whistles opened up again, and for few minutes pandemonium was let loose The train ran out about half mile, those on the car keeping up q continual cheer. re turning salutes from all directions. and then ran back to the starting line. On the second trip out all the ladies present were invited, and for an hour trips were run until every body who desired, had had q ride. Altogether the christening was complete sue. cess.

Edging around as far as he dared he threw

his guns were forgotten in the indescriba-
BILE stencil emanating from those awful
stink pots.
But there was no relief. The air in
the shaft was as bad as that in the tunnel.
And the ladder was missing
While the gasping, spluttering wretches
were cursing and shouting for some one to
| let the ladder down, another stink pot
came sailing over the rim of the hole and
landed fairly in their midst, where it broke
and added fresh horrors to the already
sufficiently polluted atmosphere
Then the trio knew what it meant
Bullock was after them and had routed
them out of their hole. They couldn' t
get out of the shaft, but the stencil was
so great that they couldn't stay in it,
either
Accordingly ly they surrendered uncondi-
tionally, and, following the directions of
the marshal, who remained out of sight
behind the brink of the shaft, tossed their
weapons out through the mouth of the
shaft and begged to be permitted to get
out themselves as quickly as possible.

JURY DISAGREES IN THAW
CASE.
The Jury Stood Seven for Murder
and Five for Acquittal.

NEW York, April 12.-T The trial of
Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford
White in Madison Square Roof Garden
June 25, 1906-a trial which, it is esti-
mated, cost the Thaw family 1886, 900
and the people s79, 900 and which began
January 23, l l weeks and two days ago
ended this afternoon at 4.30 O clock with
the disagreement and discharge of the jury.
On the final ballot the Jurors stood
seven for murder in the first degree and
five for acquittal on the ground of insanity.
Four of the latter had been firm for their
contention from the very first. There
was an effort at a compromise on man
slaughter in the first degree, but the men
who believed Thaw insane refused to hear
of it.
When the jurors came in and announced
their disagreement they had been in al
most continuous deliberation AZ hours and
minutes, and Justice Fitzgerald, recog-
nizing the hopelessness of getting ver-
dict, promptly discharged them.
Thaw was remanded to the Tombs with
out bail to await second trial. When
this new trial would take place, no one
connected with the case could tonight ex-
press an opinion. District Attorney Je-
rome declared that there were many other
persons accused Of homicide awaiting trial,
and Thaw would have to take his turn
with the rest AS to the possible change
of venue, both the District Attorney and
counsel for Thaw declared they would
make no such move. Thaw's attorneys
will have conference tomorrow with the
prisoner to decide upon their next step.
They may make an earl application for
bail. Mr.. Jerome said he would strenu-
ously oppose it. He added the belief that
as seven of the Jurors had voted for
guilty his opposition probably would be
successful. In that event Thaw has an
other long summer before him in the city
prison, for his case on the already crowded
criminal calendar cannot possibly be
reached until some time next fall.
On the first ballot, which was taken at
$50 clock Wednesday afternoon, Is
minutes after the jury had retired to its
room, eight voted for murder in the first
degree and four for acquittal.
Nine ballots were taken in all. John
S. Dennee, the young traffic agent of the
Southern Railway, had gone over on
Thursday night to the advocates of acquit-
tai, after he had made careful study of
the various letters written by Thaw and
the will and codicil, which were given to
the jurors at their request when they came
into court Thursday morning. By careful
study of these exhibits Mr.. Dennee was
convinced of Thaw' insanity.

Haverstraw. During the afternoon there
was considerable joking about love and
matrimony. Finally Mr.. Cooper slipped
out of the house unobserved and returned
with Rev. William Redheffer. Weyant
promptly pleaded for the hand of Miss
Louw. A few minutes later the company
hurried to the parsonage and the marriage
took place.

Treed All Night by Wolves.

Isaiah Blythe of Mass City, Mich, had
thrilling experience in the forest fastness
of Ontonagon county, where he sat all
night with pack Of bowling wolves be-
meath him. In company with DIR. W B.
Hanna and Tom Wilcox, Blythe went on
fishing trip. Dr. Hanna and Wilcox
became separated from Blythe and returned
home without him, thinking he would FOL
low. When it was learned that Blythe
had not returned home his friends became
alarmed and organized searching parties.
Blythe was eventually found after he had
passed an entire night in swaying treetop
above pack Of hungry wolves. He had
lost his way in the woods.
