The resignation OF Brownson, fol-

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 4.-The news
from England yesterday that the
Countess OF Yarmouth, formerly
Miss Alice ThAw. OF this city. had
begun proceedings for the nullifica-
tion OF her marriage did not create
much surprise here.
1t is said here tat the estrange-
ment results from two causes. The
first cause is said to be the action
OF the Earl of Yarmouth. during the
first trial OF Harry X. Thaw. a half
brother OF the countess. who is to
be tried Monday next for the second
time for the murder OF Stanford
White at New York.
II is said when the trial was about
to begin Yarmouth went to Egypt
and lived in seclusion in the select
colony of English folk who reside
there during the winter months. The
second cause is said to Le tle action
OF the Thaw family in determining
upon an insanity plea for Harry X
Thaw
From reports received here from
London during the past month it is
said Yarmouth objected to insanity
figuring in the New York Thaw trial,
on the ground that it would have a
direct influence on the succession of
the Yarmouth estate in the event
there was ar issue from tho mar
riage.
