DelmaS of This Move.

trial of Harry X. Thaw late Thursday
when the defense announced that 1t

II was nearly & o'clock when Del.
pbin NJ Delmas. chief Of the Thaw
counsel. called District Attorney
Jerome on the telephone and made the
announcement.
The district attorney was perhaps
the most surprised man In New York,
for II had been understood that when
Justice Fitzgerald resumed the bench
this morning the Thaw attorneys
would call one OF two alienists.
Court will assemble to-day as
planned. but what will he done In a
question much discussed. MIR. Delmas
will make the simple announcement:

II will then he the duty Of the dis.
trlct attorney to take MP the rebuttal.
but Il was generally rnmored last
night that after a brief session ad-
iournment viii be asked and granted
until Monday. that Mr.. Jerome may
mature his plans.
The sudden decision OF the defense
came after conference OF Thaw's
lawyers in M. Delmas Office.
IL is understood that Lawyers DAN
iel O'Reilly and Gleason we're with
Mr.. Delmas during the discussion as
to the best course 90 pursue. When
an agreement WAS reached Mr.. Delmss
Immediately notified the district at
torney.
Henry Clay McPike, associated with
ir. Delmas. later called at Mr..
Jeromes Office and, It IL believed,
handed the district attorney a letter.

| Mr.. Jerome was asked last night:
'Will you go TO The Jury with the
case. or will you ask for commission

"Op the evidence as II now stands
will certainly go to the jury" replied
the district attorney. IF there Ia moth

ed In this country they were not amen.
able to the law.

Simply Swallow
Many Eat as Though They Were
Blind and Their Tongues
Cut Out,

Dyspepsia is built on confidence
- too much confidence m the abil-
ity of your stomach to digest any
thing and everything you put into
it.
In this age we have developed
speed in every line of action, and
we have also developed speed in
mastcation. ,.bg{i 4
We don't take time TO eat right
and sometimes we do not eat the
right kind Of food. Sometimes
we carry our business to our meals
and as a result eat mechanically.
We eat as though we were blind
and our tongues cut out. We
seiuply swallow.
The result is that the food we
eat is half chewcd and lies like a
lump of lead on the stomach.
You may deny to yourself that
you abuse your stomach, but. when
you get bloaty feeling, you can't
deny you've got it.
When you get brash, eructations,
burning sensations, bloating, aver
sion to food, loss of appetite, bel
ching, and other kindred ailments
there is not much use asking your
self. for the time being, why you
suffer. The fact is you've got
these ailments and the question
If the hour is how to get rid Of
them at once, 50 that at your next
meal you may be able to sit down
and look at your meal straight in
the face-with keen appetite and
a smile, and enjoy thoroughly ev-
erything you eat.

RUNAWAY TRAGEDY.
One Lady Instantly Killed and AnOth-
cr Lady Dying.

Near Monroe, Ga, Mrs. Henry
Richardson. a well known Walton
country woman, was killed and her
sister. Mrs. John Palmer, was fatally
injured Thursday morning as the
result of an accident with a runaway
team OH the bridge at Bale Prong
creek, a mile north from Monroe.
AT the time OF the accident the two
women were on their way to town to
do some shopping. Just as they
drove onto the bridge they we're met
by runaway horse attached to a
buggy. The team was occupied by
a negro woman and two children and
was driven by a negro.
Mrs. Palmer, in attempting to get
out OF the way of the vehicle caught
her dress on the step and was
thrown to the floor of the bridge. The
horse ran over her, dragging the
buggy with him.
Mrs. Richardson escaped without
a scar, yet, strange to say, she was
the first to die.
The excitement and worry in try
ing to care for her injured sister
caused congestion of the lungs, from
which she died. The wounded wo-
man was at once removed to the w.
l.. Wood place on the Gratis road,
four miles from Monroe. where she
and Mrs. Richardson resided
Remarkable to say, the driver and
other occupants of the runaway bug
gy escaped with only few scratches.

SCARED TO DEATH.
When the Gentleman Got His Sill.
yer Ear Trumpet

Ihe Negro Hotel Porter Thought II
Was a Big Horse Pistol and Rar
For His Life.
A laughab1e mistake occurred one
night last week at the Piedmont
one Of Atlanta's big hotels. The fol
lowing is the story as related by the
Atlanta Journal:
A shattered cup Of coffee. a portei
frightened almost into Mysteries and
narrowly averted panic on the Sc
cond floor of the Piedmont hotel was
the result Of an effort by Grand Com.
mander John ]. Seay, Of Rome, to
employ his harmless ear trumpet as
means for communicating with a
negro empl oye at $3.50 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
Grand Commander Seay who num-
bers his friends by hosts In other or
ganizatiOns as we'll as Masonry, is
compelled to use his ear trumpet on
nearly all occasions. This little
black trumpet is a most harmless In
strument in the eyes of his friends.
To the porter this same ear trumpet
was means of terror and it reQuir-
ed much persuasion to convince the
negro who had taken refuge behind
the elevator shaft and was peering
with wide anxious eyes at the trum-
pet Mr.. Seay held in his hands.
The grand commander was not
able to sleep we'll Tueday night on
account OF a severe headache. I'm
able to secure any relief he thought
that a cup of black coffee might be
used as a remedy. He telephoned
to the night clerk and asked him to
please send up the coffee.
Realizing that he would not be
able to hear the porter knock at his
coffee Mr.. Seay left his door slightly
open, with the one incandescent light
turned on.
When the negro came to the door
Mr.. Seay saw him in the half dim
light. He sprang from the bed and
started rapidly toward the dresser
where his ear trumpet was. AS he
reached out his hand for the trumpet
there came a piercing shrek from
the negro and as the grand comman-
der turned he saw the cup fall from
the negro's hands and shatter on
the floor, the black coffee spattering
the walls.
Then the negro fed to the elevator
shaft, and wrestled vainly with the
door to escape by means of the shaft.
Mr.. Seay with his ear trumpet fol-
lowed. Seeing the negro's alarmed
condition Mr.. Seay called to him,
telling him he did not intend to hurt
him.
well then, Boss, for Gawd's sake,
put down that big Colts pistol you
have in your hands"
