The Trial Was Resumed Where it
Was Left Off Last Week.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The Thaw
trial was resumed this morning. Juror
Bolton, whose wife died, will face the
ordeal bravely.
Thaw entered court with slower
step than usual and appeared preoc-
cupied. Josiah and Edward Thaw,
his brothers, were present.
Dr.Britton Evans, who was on the
&and at the suspension of the case
Thursday, was recalled as the first
witness. DR.. Evans testified that
Thaw said the firm Of Black, Olcultt,
Gruber and Bonynge and the dis
frict attorney we're in conspiracy
to railroad him to the asylum, that
they were Whites friends, that it was
all right to talk Of him being insane
Evans said that Thaw told him that
Dr. Hamilton's eyes suggested insan-
ity. DR.. Hamilton is an alienlst.

No Morning Session.

when the court opened this morn
ing. at District Attorney Jerome's re-
quest an adjournment was taken I'M
2 o'clock, while Juror Bolton was
visiting his home.
Thaw was not brought into the
court room. Evelyn hurried to visit
him in the Tonabs and encourage him
to hope that the trial would con-
tinue.
Grave fears are entertained that
Mrs. Bottoms illness will cause a
mistrial to be ordered. In view OF
the fact that Bolton will have this
burden on his mind if his wife con-
tinues seriosuly i'll, both sides Will
probably rather have him excused
than continue the case. In the event
of her death, It is almost certain that
neither side will want him to continue
as juror.
Mrs. Bottoms doctor telephones
District Attorney Jerome that she has
double pneumonia and is in a serious
cindition.
1t is probable that the court will
not declare mistrial for two or
three days, at least, if Mrs. Bolton
continues ill that long, but the case
VIII be continued from day to day, al
loving Bolton to remain at home to
see if he can return to the jury box
with his mind in condition to hear
evidence.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
(From the Chicago Tribune.

L.
*". Don't trifle with co1d,' is good
advice for prudent men and women.
It may be vital in the case Of child.
Proper food, good vetilation, and dry.
warm clothing are the proper safe
guards. If they are maintained
through the changeable weather Of
autumn, winter and spring, the
chances of a surprise from ordinary
colds Will be slight. But the ordinary
light cold will become severe if neg
lected, and a well established, ripe
cold is to the germs Of diphtheria
what honey is to the bee. The great
est menace to the child life at this
season of the year is the neglected
cold.'' Whether it is a child or adult,
the cold, slight or severe, the very
best treatment that can be adopted
is to give Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. 1t is safe and sure. The great
popularity and immense sale Of this
preparation has been attained by its

FIRE IN GREENVHLE.
Loss is Estimated at About Fifty
Thousand Dollars, Half Covered by

completely gutted one portion OF the
Conyers building, located on Wash
ineton street in the heart Of the. .ousl-
ness district, the total loss approx
mating $50. 900, with about $4,000
insurance. That part of the building
which is occupied by the Carolina
supply company escaped without dam
age. the fire wall dividing the two
sections of the building having sue
cessfully withstood the fire test.
The Cover Supply company, deal
ers in paints, oils, etc., was the
heaviest loser, the damage amounting
to about $4,000, almost entirely COW
cred bv insurance. Logerholm, the
tailor, suffered loss of $4,000, with
only $500 insurance, and Waddei &
Co., carpets, $1,000, with no insur-
ance.
There were a number of small Of
fees, occupied by real estate and IN
s,rance and cotton brokerage firms,
on the second floor, but the loss there
consisted mainly of Office fixtures
and papers. The Postal telegraph
Office. on the first floor, was also
total loss. the damage amounting to
$500, covered by insurance. The
building, which is owned by W. P
Conyers, is damaged to the extent OF
about $4,000, with $4,000 insur-
ance.
The fire started in the furaa-.
room in the center basement. 1t
quickly spread to the cellar Of the
Cover Supply company, which was
heavily stocked with paints and oils
The flames. feeding on this substance,
soon spread all over the building, and
in less than two hours there was
nothing left between the four walls.
The fremen had a terrific fight.
and at one time the whole block, the
most valuable in the business district,
was threatened. So grave was the
situation that Mayor Mahon called
uon Spartanburg to hold her fire de-
partment in readiness to be dis
patched to Greenville on special
train which was quickly furnished by
the Southern. Anderson was asked
to make ready for similar service,
but outside help was not needed.
