ONE MORE JUROR FOR THAw
Among Men Rejected IL One who
said He Had Never Heard
of Case.

NEW YORK Jan. 9-One new sworn
juror was added TO the Harry X. Thaw
trial panel today, making seven in all Sc
lected from tho 4O0 talesmcn summoned
since the beginning OF the second hearing
on Monday. Another panel OF 100 will re-
port tomorrow morning Justice Dowling
has announced that he will hold court ON
Saturday il necessary to complete the jury.
At the time Of the luncheon recess today
the box was filled with six permanent and
six temporary Jurors. but peremptory chal-
lenges swept all Of the provisional men
away. Just before the adjournment hour
at s o'clock. when today's venire had been
exhausted. five temporary jurors had again
been selected to fill the back row vacancies
But once more the arbitrary challenges
were brought into play and all but one
OF the men on probation were allowed to
go. The sole survivor OF the day, who took
his place as trial Juror No. Z. was William
+. Doolittle. chief clerk in the auditing
department Of the New York Central rail
way. The rate Of progress was not graf
flying either TO the prosecution or defense
and better things are hoped for tomorrow
At the close OF today's work the prose
cution had employed fourteen OF the thirty
challenges allowed by law and the defense
had expended nineteen. The court can, in
it's discretion Increase the number OF
challenges allowed either side and last year,
at the first trial, Justice Fitzgerald did so.
Patrick McCue, hat manufacturer. fur
nished the only bit OF color to the pro-
ceedings today by declaring that he had
never heard OF the case. Consequently he
had no disqualifying opinion and was
placed on the temporary side Of the trial
panel. only to be excused peremptorily later
on.
Just before the beginning session Of the
trial today Attorney Daniel OReilly
announced that subpoena for the defense
has been served on Miss Edna Goodrich,
the actress who is playing here this week.
Miss Goodrich failed to appear in response
10 a subpoena last year. Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit- -Thaw on the stand at the first trial
declared that It was Miss Goodrich who
first introduced her to Stanford White and
| took her to luncheon with him.
A messenger from Mr.. Reillys office sat
in the audience of the theater where the
young actress is playing all of yesterday
afternoon and last night and finally served
| the subpoena in person. 1t was intended
/ to serve the subpoena after the matinee,
| but Miss Goodrich had dinner served in her
dressing room.

When word reached Omaha Thursday Of
the passage of a bill by the house for an
other bridge across the Missouri river little
was known as to the nature OF the bill.
Some business men thought IL was the
resurrection of a bill introduced by Con-
gressman Smith OF Council Bluffs some
years ago for another bridge across the
Missouri north of the Douglas street bridge.
This bill passed the house, but was killed
in the senate through the efforts Of Sena-
tor Millard. who claimed he could see moth
ing back OF the bill except a scheme to try
to sell the franchise TO some big corpora
ton.
a charter is in existence for a bridge
across the river east OF South Omaha. II
has been expected the promoters OF that
scheme would ask for an extension of their
franchise.
Considerable ground was bought up some
time ago between Manawa and Council
Bluffs and it was thought at the time this
land was TO be used by some railroad COM
pany for an approach to a bridge which
might be built under the franchise for the
bridge across from South Omaha.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Billings Gazette: Billings and
Great Fails are now connected with
direct railroad line. The last rail
on the Billings & Northern, connect
ing the Burlington and Northern Pa
ci6c with the Great Northern, was
laid at the junction east of Laurel
Monday afternoon, eight hours ahead
of schedule time and / time to gain
for the members of the track laying
crew additional compensation of 50
cents per day, which had been as.
sured them if the track laying was
completed before September |.
Many of the track layers drew
their time, including the extra COM
pensation, and came to Billings yes
terday. Others returned to the camp
north of Laurel and will assist in
preparing the road for traffic.
Work of ballasting the road on the
Laurel end will commence at once.
Trains with ballasting crews will be
run north every day from the juno
ton. Traffic in a small way will be
commenced and it with probably be
possible to ship goods to some points
on it by October l. But there is con-
siderable work to be done by the
contractors before heavy traffic can
be handled and as result it is not
expected that the Burlington freight
and passenger business will be switch
ed from the Northern Pacific to the
new line and the Great Northern be-
fore December Is, and probably not
until after the first of the year.
No official information has as yet
been received a@ to who will be the
officials Of the new line, though it is
generally understood that the Great
Northern will operate it.
The Billings & Northern railroad
opens a fertile territory tributary to
Billings, which has had no railroad
connection with the Sugar City. II
passes through the fertile dry farm
ing regions at Broadview and vicinity
and traverses one Of the richest por-
tions Of Meagher and Fergus coun-
ties, all of which territory will be in
position to secure its supplies from
Billings. 1t also furnishes connect
ing line for Billings with the Mil
waukee and it is understood that the
state railway commission has had ur
for consideration the making of
| junction where the two roads meet
