and some Of them are not expected to

The opening Of the mine is half way
up a cliff 300 feet high on the west
side of the Youghiogheny river. Near
the opening, on a wide ledge stood the
blacksmith shop and an engine-cOaling
shanty Of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
railroad. In and about the coaling
shanty workmen had gathered to eat
their luncheons. Suddenly there was
an ominous grinding noise, followed
by tremendous crash and hundreds
of tons Of rock. loosthed by recent
rains rusred down upon the unwarned
men, completely demolishing the
shanty and partially destroying the
shop Those in the shanty
were caught under the crushed walls,
while many of those outside were

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. May 5.-Tem-
porarily at least, Harry K Thaw is
out of the Matteawan hospital for the
Criminal Insane. AS a result of the
proceedings on the writ of habeas
corpus sued out in an effort to have
him legally declared sane, he will re-
main in the Duchess county Jail until
the final decision on the writ is
handed down. The formal hearing in
the case will come before the supreme
court here next Monday.
The adjournment was taken upon
the request of a representative of the
district attorney of New York county
to give District Attorney jerome an
opportunity to appear in person to Op-
pose Thaw's release from the asylum.
In the meantime Thaw will remain in
the Duchess county Jail here instead
of being returned to Matteawan. Thaw
appeared to be in excellent health,
having gained fully twenty pounds in
weight since his transfer to the asylum
from the TOmbs.
One of the interesting features Of
the proceedings was an announcement |
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, although |
she has brought suit for annulment Of
her marriage, will appear, II neces-
sary, as a witness in her husbands
behalf
1t is said that one reason why Je-
rome will bitterly contest Thaw's ef
forts to obtain his freedom is the dis
trict attorneys fear that Thaw. if
freed. will attempt to do him bodily
harm.
It has been brought to the district
attorneys knowledge that Thaw has
made threats against him personally.
Thaw is said to have declared that
Jerome's unceasing prosecution has
been persecution. and that as the law
seemed an inadequate means through
which to punish the district attorney,
personal satisfaction was the only al.
tentative.
District Attorney Jerome is said to
have been kept informed of Thsw's
recent actions in Matteawan by DR..
Amos T. Baker, acting superintendent
Of the state asylum. 1t is even reported
that the district attorney is acquainted
with a number OF letters which ThaW
has written recently from the asylum.
All this will be used by the district at
-orney in his attempt to prove that
Thaw is still insane.
Thaw. on his way from Matteawan {
o Poughkeepsie. made this remark i
lble statement: [
ITO be in the Matteawan asylum is S
