COLDER WEATHER
DOES NO DAMAGE
TO MARKET MEN

The weather mans prediction for
colder weather came true, although
many people suspected the drop
would be lower than 1t was. The low
est point reached on the scale was 20.
just 2 degrees colder than yesterday
morning The highest temperature
reached yesterday was 33.
Marketers had prepared for a reg
ular blizzard of the old school, and
every crack to their hotbeds was
closed last night to protect the young
plants from the cold. Because OF
foresight on the part of the market
ers. no damage has been done to the
hotbeds this weather.
Today there was not such rush
at the Charity club as yesterday morn
ing. and by noon Jap Toner, secretary
of the club, had filled only 10 orders
for coal against 10 for yesterday
morning. Tomorrow the weather bu-
reau promises us warmer weather.

THAW'S OLD NURSE
TELLS OF ACTION
and HIS MAD FITS

New York. Jan. 17.--Mrs. William
Thaw arrived in the court room early
today. She was accompanied by her
son, Josiah, and Roger O'Mara, the
family detective. She was weak
showing illness, and had to be assist
ed into the elevator.
Mrs. Alice Fletcher, of Washing
ton, was the first witness. She knew
the family well and said Harry was
nervous and his face and hands would
witch when he was a child. He had
a wild, staring look during outbursts
of temper. In 1903 Harry told her
he had terrible disease of the eyes.
He believed he was going to die, and
wanted to die. He talked incoherent-
ly of having trouble with a woman.
She thought him irrational.
Mrs. Fletcher is one of the best
known scientific women in the coun-
try. She is in the archaeological bu-
|reau Of the government. Jerome in
cross-examining her, met critical
witness, who apparently haffled him.
Answering whether Thaw's sense Of
perception was different from that Oh
anyone else. she replied, Gam sure l
lcannot answer your question. The
psychology of perception, as you un-
derstand 1t, might not be what be-
lieve." The witness said Thaw's
mother confided in her fears that
Harry was not entirely responsible for
his acts.
After Evelyn Thaw had been sworn
today, Littleton withdrew her tenn
porarily, explaining that he was not
ready yet to examine her.
Catherine O'Neil, nurse in the Thaw
family six years after Harry was three
years old, said Harry was a peculiar
child, of moody disposition and had
fits. She thought his mind was affect
ed. On cross-examination she said
outside these spells he generally was
nervous. passionate and high strung
When Ettleton called Evelyn Thaw
to the stand, Jerome plainly was
amazed, as he had been given to un-
derstand that she wouldn't be called
until next week. She wore a blue
coat with a skirt to match, a broad
white linen collar and big mush-
room hat, trimmed in violets. After
Littleton conferred with other attor-
neys, he asked her to step aside for
a while.

~. H
The tie trade, Of which II Hose s
a center for the tie boats, is alinSQt
a standstlll when 1t comes to s35-s
business. All the companies operat
ing boats out Of this city, ceased buy
ing ties several weeks ago, and al
though their boats are running as
usual. they are filIlng old contracts
only. Railroads oyer the country
have ceased buying ties beyond their
and when. the contracts are
filed, unless business picks up, there
will be little doing for the tie COM
panies.
1t is estimated reugh!y that eight
million ties were brought through the
Paducah harbor during 1907, and the
business compares favorably with pre-
yious years. These ties came from
the Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers, but the majority are from the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers,
where the tie towing holds full sway.
The Ayer-Iord Tie company brought
out more ties than any single COM
pany. For 1907. as estimated. 4,00O,-
600 ties were towed out of the three
rivers by this company and most of
them We're taken TO Brookport. where
they are loaded on freight cars. The
other companies towing ties through
this port are: Moss Tie company,
Standard Tie company. Harth-Rush
Tie company. Joy-Wstkins Tie COM
pany, Indiana Tie company and the
Big Four Tie company. These com
panies. It is estimated, brought on,
4.o0o. goo ties at the lowest figure.
AT the completion of the present
contracts of the tie companies, bust
ness promises to be slack, unless con-
ditions open up. Extension work ON
practically every road in the United
States has ceased and the ties pur-
chased are used mainly in the replace
ing OF insecure ties. Work for the
tie cutters depends upon the demand
for their product. and they will have
to labor at some other occupation unit,
the tie companies begin purchasing
ties again.
