TWO JURORS
SECURED
Result of First Day of Thaw Trial at
New York.

NEW YORK, Jan 23-The curtain
was rung up today for another act in
the tragedy of real life known as the
Thaw-White case.
The long-waited trial began this
morning shortly before 1890 o'clock,
and when an adjournment for the day
had been taken, about 5 this afternoon,
there were two jurors in the box. A
third juror had been accepted and
sworn, but he was excused in the clos
ing moments of the days session, the
reason for this action being of private
nature and not made public.
Aside from the members of the fam.
lily there we're only four women In the
court room, and the various newspa-
per writer's. The attendance today
was confined to newspaper people and
Jury talesmen.
The trial win be resumed tomorrow
morning az 10: 80 o'clock. and there
will be two daily sessions, concluding
each afternoon at o'clock.

AGREEMENT MADE
BY MARLBOROUGHS
Royalty Uses it's Good Offices to Pre-
vent Ugly Disclosures in Court.

LONDON, Jan. 20.--The conferences
which have recently been going
on between relatives and others con-
corning the differences between the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough
have resulted in an arrangement by
which their affairs VIII not be brought
before the courts and separation will
be effected so as to avoid publicity.
This was largely brought about
through the intervention of royalty,
which Is friendly to both sides The
Duke and Duchess will live apart, the
Duke retaining Blenheim Palace en-
tirely and continuing to enjoy the
100000 a year settled upon him by
the Duchess family. He will have GUS
tody of their two SOILS for six months
each year, the control of their educa-
ton until they become of age, and the
choice of their profession. On the
other hand, the Duchess will enjoy
the use of marlborough family jewels
and will have the precedence of a
Dukes wife and will be allowed to
take her sons with FER to any part OF
the continent during their holidays.

CHURCH TROUBLES
Started From an Elders Taking Out
Life insurance.

CENTREVLLLE, Tenn, Jan. 23.-
The Primitive Baptist Church here
which has large and intelligent mem
bership, is in a quandary as what to
do, as 1t finds itself without allegiance
to the parent organization. Some
months since the church espoused the
cause of Elder Sam kirkland, of Full
ton, from whom the Baptist Associa-
ton had withdrawn because he had
violated the tenet against members
carrying insurance. He said he pro-
posed to provide for his wife and chill
dren, regardless of drastic church
tenet. Before the Buffalo River Asso-
citation of the Primitive Baptists could
take cognizance of the action of the
church here in uph"lding Elder Kirk
land the local body withdrew and nom
mated Elder Kirkland for its pastor.
Matters moved serenely until Elder
Kirkland joined the Missionary Bap-
lists, when the flock. had to cast about
for another shephe d. Elder S. l..
Pettus, of Fulton, who was In SYM
pathy with Elder Xii land, was prevail
ed upon to serve as pastor for while,
but few weeks ago he became en-
amored of the doctrine of mesmerism
and "Wiltmerism," and resigned to at
tend school of his new-found faith.
Later he joined the Missionary Bap-
list Church, and the church here was
again thrown upon 'ts own resources.
Overtures have been made to the as
ISOLATION looking to an utilization, but
the Association has submitted a pro-
yiso to what it terms a hayward sis
ter, with which the local church must
comply before it can be reinstated.
The members must come forward and
confess their error and receive bap-
tism before the rigt t hand of fellow |
ship can be accorded This does not |
suit the members, who still hold aloof, |
and, like Micawber, they are awaiting |
for something to turn up They have
prevailed upon Elder Hinser to serve
them once a month, but the Associa-
lion will probably exercise its juris-
iiction and call halt on his minis
.ering to church that, in its estima-
ion, shows such scant courtesy to the
'uling body.

in special primary to be held with

LIST OF MILLION
AIRES SHRINK
WHEN 1T COMES TO PAYING PER.
soNAL TAXES IN NEW YORK.
Some Of the Real Rich and What They
Contribute to the Public Ex-
eheqUer.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2l.-Advanee
sheets OF the City Tax Gatherer for
1907 contain the names of but four
persons who have as much as 81 .OOO.-
600 in personal property that is sub
ject to taxation. Last year there
were six who were taxed for a million
or more personally. and in 1905 there
were eight.
The total amount of personal prop
erty assessed for t..xation this year
shows such an enormous decline from
previous years that President Purdy,
of the Tax Board, refused to make the
figures public One hundred and fifty
persons reputed to be very wealthy,
and who have heretofore been on the
rolls for exceeding 100000 each, had
their names stricken from the list
entirely this year. Among these are
Frances Blagien, assessed last year
for $1,00O,000: Edwsrd H. Hartman,
the heaviest holder of railroad securi-
ties in the United States, who refus-
ed to pay on $15O,OOO last year; Cor.
nelius Vanderbilt, who swore of his
100000 assessment a year ago. and
the seven Guggenheims-Ben jamin,
Daniel, Isaac, Morris, Murray, Simon
and William D.-wLo were formerly
assessed at 100000 or $15O,OOO each.
The largest personal tax that was
ever assessed in this city-the largest
by 900 per CENTS charged on the
rolls for this year against the estate
Of Russell Sage. The assessment Is
IN s5O,OOO,OOO and Is understood to
De represented by railroad bonds. The
highest personal tax ever paid in this

consents TO an assessment on $5000,-
