THE E. &P. r. Z.

The hearing of the proposition to re-
peal the statute forbidding the parallel
ing of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad was not concluded
after morning, afternoon, and night
session of a joint committee Of the State
legislature yesterday. Il is probable
that another entire day will lie consumed
in the hearing.
The most noteworthy festnre Of the
day was substitute to both parallel bills
nov before the house by Senator Lassiter,
of Petersburg. The substitute provides
that no railroad shall be allowed to
parallel the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad prior to January
l, 1913, and that if prior to thst time
the said railroad shall have built such
branch lines as may be necessary in the
opinion Of the State corporation COM
mission for the reasonable ard proper
service of the people of the State, and
shall also surrender prior to January l,
1909, its right to exemption to taxation,
then 10 btcer railroad chartered under
this &C! shall have any right to build
parallel line, unless the existing act is
repealed by the general assembly.
While the sentiment Of the people
generally is probably heartily 10 favor of
the repesl, it is believed that sfter the
hearing the committee will recommend
some measure providing restrictions to
the straight repesl.

Today's Telegraphic News,
The ThaH Trial.

New York, jan. 2S.--Df. Charles L.
Bailey, Of Albany, N. Y, wss the first
witness called in the ThaW trial today.
Dr.. Charles @. Wagner was subse-
ouently called and Littleton examined
him at length as to ThaW's mental con-
dilion. The witness believed Thsw TO
be irresponsible. Thaw told DR.. Wsg-
ner be had never intended attacking
White, but that Providence took the
matter In hand. ThaW's manner ne de-
scribed as exceedingly dictstorial.
TiresOme legal wrangliug between
Jerome and Liltleion followed every
question asked the witness.
The statement that Harry Thaw once
appealed to District Attorney jerome
10 have Stanford White brought TO
Justice, was the sensational feature Of
DR.. Wsguer's testimony. Thaw's APP
peal was turned down by the prosecu-
tor, who believed it was actualed not
by sny high. minded motives, but by
the young Pittsburg spendihrifPs
jealousy of Whites success with Evelyn
Nesbit end other girls OF their mutual
acquaintance. The fact was also de-
veloped aud emphasized that almost
from his first meeting with White and
before any feud spraDg up between them.
Thaw cherished an overruliDg hatred
and loathiDg for the man he later killed.
Justice Bowling announced so soon
IS court reconvened this afternoon that
be had decided each eide would be en-
titled TO three instead of two experts.

Charge Against shonts.

New York, Jan. 2S.-That Theodore
P. Sbonts's family really brought q
quantity of gowns and lingerie into the
country duty free, on which they ought
20 have paid customs tax, is under
stood to be collector FOwler'S conclusion
following Last Mondays examination Of
the 6nery in the traction msgnalt's home.
The collector has delayed his report to
the treasury department because be did not
want to rish mistakes, it is understood,
in the case of so well known man as
Shonts. The report will go to Washing
ton today. II will tell how the search
vas conducted, what explanations were
made y the Shonts, ard how much the
collector thinks Shonts still ought to pay
in duties. Tue Shonts contention is
that all the gowns and other garments had
been worn more or less, and that the
customs department is exceeding it's
powers in demanding tax on sold
clothes" The collector is understood
to think nineteen trunks full Of sold
clothes" excessive, though it has not
yet been rade public on how large a
proportion he would demand payment.

THAW's MOTHER ON STAND.

Mrs. Mary Oopley Thaw, the mother
of Harry K. Thaw, went on the stand
again in New York yesterday and told
what she knew Of insanity in the Thaw
family, and of the actions Of her son
from the time OF his birth. She was
feeble and had to be assisted to the wit
ness stand by nurse.
She sSid that thirteen months before
Harry was born she sustained great
shock when she found an older child
dead in bed. She was not in good health
before Harry's birth, and he was an ex-
citable and nervous child. She told Of
him having 81. .Vitus' dance.
As to the insanity faint in the family,
she said that Henry Oopley, an uncle
of ThaW, had been wesk-minded from
the time he was six years old. Another
relative, Josiah Thaw, had brain fever,
and her sister, a Mrs. Hirsch, had been
an epileptic from her early days.
There was no cross-examination Of
Mrs. Thaw by the district attorney. BY
sn agreement with the counsel for Thaw
all be did was TO read to the jury an
affidavit made by Mrs. Thaw aud pre-
scented to the commission in lunscy at
the last trial. Ia that sfidavit she tried
to explain away any faint Of hereditary
insanity in the Thaw family. The sfi-
dsvit did not jibe with the testimony
she gave Yesterday.

under the title of "Forsker is defeated,
Ohio Is for Taft" Former Lieutenant
Governor Harding, Forsksr's Chief lieu
tenant and Stsncbest supporter, has cut
away from the senior Ohio Senator.
This is not band wagon climb; II is

tics" Is the way the former lieutenant
governor prfsces his political reDuncia-
ton OF Foraker. His leadership is
necessarily done. Licked is the laconic
way to put it, and in political honor bis
followers are prisoners of war and will
have to be good. Senator Foraker is
not entirely eliminated, because men of
bis stripe are never eliminated, but his
political leadership is az an end. There
will be no Foraker faction in the future"
Hsrdipg closes his editorial With this
statement: "While We admire Senator
Foraker as a statesman, we are worse
than skeptjcsl about blm as politician. :"

"REBEL YELL" IN NEW YORK

"REBEL YELL" IN NEW YORK.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia; Gen.
Stewart L. Woodford, aud R. E. Lee,
grandson Of the Confederate comman-
der, were The guests of honor last night
at the annual banquet Ct the OoEfede-
rate Veteran Camp of New York in The
grand ballroom Of the Waldorf-AstoriS.
Maj. Edward Oven, the commander oil
the camp, was the POSTMASTER, and the
three guests were the only speakers.
The wall in the rear of the guests
table was covered with United States
and Confederate fsgs, and the orches-
ira played Southern airs. Every time
"Dixie" was played the men guests
howled themselves hoarse aud the ladies
waved handkercbiefs. After the dinner
the tables we're removed and dancing
was had.
Introducing Senator Daniel, Maj.
Oven said that if the democratic party
knew what it was about it would NOM
mate the Senator for the presidency.
Senator Daniel said that''We may
ksow what we are, but not what we
might be-" The last thing he expected
was to hear Maj. Owen, here In The
heart of YaukeedOm, nominste for Pre,-
ident a comrade of the Stonewall Bril-
gade. He WAS speaking to The toss',
'Lee, Virginia, and the UaioD." The
three hsd been much mixed up, but
now, thank, God, they were all uu-
tangled. 1t was glorious thing that
those who had fought one another
might meet in the mightiest city OF the
nightiest country and say with equal
pride that they we're Americans. Oi
Gen. Lee, he said that one OF toe
greatest compliments ever paid him was
By Gen. Meade at Appomattox. TIE
two had been friends in the war with
Mexico, and when they net at the sur
render, Gen. Lee remarked to Gen.
Meade, "You are getting gray"
eyes, but not from years." replied
Gen. Meade. "You are the msn who
bias made me gray"
1t was too late to argue about the
{ u,e Of tie war. No great revolution
was ever csllsi ca to explain itself.
But" said Senator Daniel, elf l did
not fight for the union had a con 10
the United States army at Matopzas.
The good thing about the civil war rss
that 1t is over. The younger generation
could thank the veterans that they bad
left them a clear arena"
Mr.. Lee was the next speaker, and
though he told his hearers that Gs an
sfter-dinner speaker he was the rsnkesl
of the rank, he was applauded. He had
not even been in the Confederate army,
because he wasn't born until after peacs
had been decllred.
Gen. Woodford said that in New York
men who wore the blue and the gray
worked for the common good.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. %, 1868.

IN forcibls article in favor OF the
execution of condemned criminals in the
STATE peui,entiary, instead of the county
tails, the Richmond Times Dispatch says;
Locsl haugings arc oarbaric and
should be abolished. The Cline for
which o condemned person dies is com
m;tted sesinsi The State, and mis- execu-
ton should be State and not q local
sf.ir. Al AlexapdIia last week a col
orsd man was 20 have died for an ST.
legged murder. TIE Governor granted q
respite until February lab, and the
press dispatches said that before that
action was taken the condemned man
was taken to a nearby county jail
for ssfe keeping. If this course was
necessary 10 protect the man from
violence, 1t was proof of lswless disPo--
sition upon the part of that usually staid
DID city. Ifitwas not necessary, 1t was en
unjust reflection upon its people. Both
horns Of the dilemma could have been
avoided If the man, upon conviction, had
been removed to the penitentiary, where
he might have received pardon, COM
mutation Of sentence or respite with
ont the dread of throwing whole city
into paroxysm Of lswless violence. IL
seems that the community is divided
upon the guilt or innocence OF this man.
The local paper protests against the
execution. A number of the jurors who
convicted him pelitioDed the Governor
for a Communication of sentence. Should
che execution occur at the expiration oil
che respite, will St. Valentines Day be
a bright and happy one for the people OF
Alsxsndris, or will it be a day made
dark BY the shadow OF the gallows and
by the oppressive thought Of It's gha''ly
work?
1t was for the very reason assigned oy
the Times Dispatch; i. e., that the re-
moval Of the prisoner to another county
va, an unjust reflection upon the people
of this city, that the Gazette criticised
such action. The bringing Of military
company here from another city to guarc
the prisoner during his trial was mistake
as was the sending of the man to another
county after his reprieve.
