FIRST CAR OF 1915 TEXAS PEACHES THRU
Shipment from Texas Two weeks 1 Behind COnsignment from
 Jefferson Orchard.

The first carload of peaches of the 1916 season, from the Texas peacn belt. passed through Pine Bluff yes terday. en route to Chicago, in a Wells-Fargo refrigerator car The car was shipped from Tyler, Texas.
 Tn this connection it is interesting to note that about two weeks ago Pine Bluff forwarded shipment oi peaches to Memphis, good prices being obtained. They were not El- berta peaches, as are the peaches in the Texas shipment which passed through this city yesterda, but Pine Bluff has ripe Elberta peaches on hand now. and they are finding g ready market at home.
 The chamber of commerce bulletin yesterday, discussing the peach pro- position, said in part:
 "There was brought to the chamber of commerce yesterday. by George Porter, a colored man who. for many years was employed as caller at tho Cotton Belt and who now has a little farm just south of the new golf club asample of peaches grown on hi place, which are as fine as are growr in the north west part of the state George says he has been sellins peaches about two weeks. at from $1 to s1.50 per bushel, and he has sixti trees-which are averaging abou three bushels to the tree. The tree' ere yielding without having had thu slightest attention
 Sunday the secretary was pre- sented with a basket of Elbert peaches, by Jo 'Pilkington gathere' right from the tree, and they wer yielding from three to four bushel to the tree, and are of very fin i qua lity."

Ingenious Methods of Using Bombs, Reduces Resist
 ance of French.
SLAVS ENTRENCHED
 BEFORE MACKENZEN
Berlin and Vienna Report Situation in SGUt IleaStPrn Theatre Unchanged, But Critics Think SIays Are
 Holding Advantage.

London, July 13.-While activity On the eastern front is a neglible quantity, the situation is not without significance for the future.
 The status of the campaign 'n the southeastern theatre, which is the only one of any moment now under way, is this:
 The Russians having successfully waged their counter offensive against the Austro-Gcrmans in the region of Krasnik, have taken up new defensive positions on the heights north of that place and are strength cning them against the hour when | General von Mackenzen shall ma ke l his next move.
 It is generally accepted in military circles that the strategy of Grand Duke Nicholas to permit the Teutonic allies to carry the fighting to the Russians, themselves cntrenched in strong defensive works, will not be abandoned.
 Offcal inormation regarding the situation, particularly from Austro- German sources, is again lacking. Both Vienna and Berlin echo the re- peated announce ment of last night, that there is no change in the situa- tion for their troops.
 | Petrograd confines it's report to artillery duels and isolated attacks. all of local character, in other and isolated sections of the front.
 Unofficially, it is learned that the Russians facing von Mackenzen have now established themselves on the heights along the drive bank of the Urzedowka, which empties into the Wisnica. This involved a withdrawal northward of about five miles a re- tire ment that was carried out to avoid exposing the Russina flank to l possible attack by von Wackenzen's forces. Coincidentally, the line also has been strengthened at Buckawa.
 The purpose of any new advance by the German field marshal is likely to be to secure control of the rail- road from Lublin to Cholm. Tenta- tive attacks by the Russians at Grod- owiecz, reported in private dis patches, are taken by military critics to be part of the German progrem to feel out the Russian front to decide the new offensive.
 The Novoe Vremya's military critic attributes the defeat of Archduke Poseph to the temporary collapse of a more ambitious plan to break the Russian line on the shortest possible route on the front to Sholm running |diagnolly southeast of Kraisnik The main bodies of the Teutonic allies had been held on line paralell to this front. awaiting the moment when the archduke should reach Lublin. when it was planned to advance to Krasno- sa wo and Prubieszow. upon the rail- road from Lublin to Eholand.

Dr. Flint's Charge, Feature of the Day, Provokes
 Thaw to Laughter.
EXPECT VERDICT IN
 CASE BY NIGHTFALL
States Alienists Disagree as to the Nature of the Insanity with Which ThaW Is Alleged tO Be Suffering.
 Flint Believes He's ParanOiac.

New York. July 13.-Harrv Thaw's case will go to the jury early tomor- row afternoon. By nightfall the ver- dict should be at hand. Thereafter his fate will rest in the hands of Jus tlce Hendrick, who, under the law, mas the final say, and can set Thaw at liberty even if the jury advises he IS still insane, or send him back to MatteaWan in the face of contrary verdict, according to his discretion.
 The case of the state against Thaw was closed at o'clock this afternoon. Fifteen minutes will be consumed by Stanchfield tomorrow morning in reading into the record testimony given at a previous hearing. Cooke will argue first for the state, and Stanchfield following with the last say for Thaw. Then, with the charge of the justice, the issue will be hand ed over to the jurors.
 Thaw was in fine fettle tonight over the results of the final day of the trial. which included serious charge by Dr. Austin Flint, chief alienist for the state. that Thaw had tried to hypnotize him in court. and flat contradiction among the states alienists as to the nature of the in sanity from which Thaw is alleged to be suffering.
 Alienist Routed.
 Dr. Flint's assertion that Thaw had tried to hypnotize him was the fea- ture of the days proceedings. Ina " laughted outright when the aged alienist made the charge. pr. Flint and Stanchfield engaged in a long, scientific discussion as to whether constitutional inferiorlty" 1; a distinct form of insanity, Dr. Flint having testified on Monday that ThaW was suffering from constitutional in. feriority with paranoic trend"
 Ultimately the witness dropped the designation of constitutional infer iority" and abandoned the classified tion of "paranoic trend"
 "I am of the opinion" he said, "thar Thaw is a pure paranoiac." One of the most effective points made by Stanchfield was with regal to the state of Thaw's mind when ht killed Stanford White. It had beer shown that May Mckenzie told th, Thaws that White did not believe Evelyn cared anything for Henry, ant that he was going to win her away | from him.
 Don't you think a story like tha would have stirred the manhood il Thaw?"
 "Yes," admitted the witness.

London, July 13-The Germans, fOl-s lowing up their advance just south of Souchez, which resulted in the capture by assault of the cemetery dominating the French line of c0m- munication, today swept forward across the graveyard, extending their advanced line over a with of 600 yards.
