Xew York, Fob. 4.—Assistant District Attorney Garvan's opening address in tile Thaw murder case this morning was very brief. His closing words were: "The murder was criminal, cruel, malicious and the State will prove these facts." The witnesses for both sides were asked to leave the court room. Lawrence White, young son of the murdered man, was the llrst witness called. His testimony was merely formal, and he was not cross examined. Robert Paxton( an engineer, was called and gave testimony in regard to the arrangement of the roof garden where the murder was committed.

Bowman, chairman of the executive committee in charge of the armory dedication, received a letter this afternoon from Harrisburg, assuring him that Governor Edwin Stuart, Lieutenant (governor Robert Murphy, and a carload of representative men from Harrisburg will be here on Thursday at noon to take part in the exercises at the new armory. This letter removes all as to the presence of the Governor in this city on Thursday. In viCKv of the fact that the Legislature is in session and Governor Stuart is a very busy man at present, his decision to break away from business and attend the dedication of our armory must be considered a special honor. This will be one of the first official visits for the Governor to make since his term of office "The jury Is wholly satisfactory. We wish ami will countenance no phange." This \vCts the sentiment expressed by Harry Kendall Thaw and hits counsel. The declaration was made by Delphlu Michael Delrhas, senior counsel for Thaw. Coincident with this statement was the well authenticated report that the district attorney would endeavor to have at least two more jurors dismissed. It was reported that the admiral had said that if war was declared the American ships could reach the Philippines and the Japanese coast in six weeks and could dispose of the entire Japanese navy in two weeks more: also that if during the inte.-val the Japanese had taken the Philippines and Hawaii they would be immediately retaken by our ships upon their arrival.the latter is waiting trial on other charges of attempted bribery.

There are indications that the girl Had died in the Lyric theater building and that her body was then taken across a little bridge which connects the theater and Forest building. Cook and his wife say they cannot account for the presence of the body in their room as they did not know Miss Martin nor had they ever seen her before. A post mortem examination was held by Dr. Shannon, but he refused to make a statement. There were no marks on the body indicating violence. Coroner W. II. Sipe and District Attorney Underwood, who investigated the case, say it is a mystery. Miss Martin formerly lived at Indiana, Pa., and it is said her-mother and sister still live OFFERS PEACE TO CHURCH. "Senator Dr.vden concluded that a coiitinranro of the deadlock would tend to injure the party and the stute. Accordingly he has formally announced his intention to withdraw. Senator Drydcn is not dangerously ill.

Paris, Feb. 4.—Minister of Public instruction and Worship Briand has taken a more extended stride toward the solution of the church difficulties than had been expected in the most op timlstie quarters.

The lessee is merely held responsible for all repairs, while the essential condition is that the edifice shall remain attached to the sect by which it was used before the separation law became effective until it is legally disaffected.The absurdity of making such a prediction appealed so strongly to Admiral Dewey when tlie matter was brought to his attention that he Immediately directed his secretary to say unqualifiedly that lie had given no one an interview concerning tlie Japanese situation airtl that the statements attributed to hint were absolutely untrue. SNOW TONIGHT. Tlie follow?ng special weather bulletin was issu •(! today by the Scranton brant !i of thC' United States Weather Bureau: there The cold wave Swept in Saturday nlghi and Sunday, with decidedly colder weather ove all eastern portions of the country. One high area is centered through the Lakes, and another is moving in over the extreme northwest. Very severe weather prevails throughout this latter section, with temperatures between the Iloeky mountains and the Mississippi river, and from the Canadian northwest southward to Colorado and Missouri, ranging from zero to more than 40 degrees below zero. Lower barometer pressure through the southwest, and a storm area over the middle Gulf eoast, is creating a condition of general snow over most of the interior portions of the country and indications point to snow and colder in this vicinity tonight and Tuesday.

A strict policy i»f reticence lias been imposed upon the two vital government departments and their officers, both great and small.

There was much disappointment here at dispatches from .lapan declaring the foreign office, through Karon ll.iyashi, regarded the suggestion exclusion of Japanese laborers by treaty as impossible of accomplishment. Ex-High Constable William O'lteilly. mil' lit the host known characters of Wilkesbarre, died at Retreat, yesterday, after a short illness of cancer, at .the age of 80 years. lie was high constable of Wilkesbarre for many years and when the city dispensed with the office he accepted a position with the street cleaning: department. He was best known for his autobiography, written many years ago. Ho sent a copy of the "Life of Wm. O'Roily" to every president since Cleveland's first administration. He also sent a copy to Queen Victoria. Hazleton has been stirred by the opposition from Wilkesbarre, and every effort will bo made to combat the arguments of the people from the existing county seat. The business interests of the city are unanimous for the new county. No anti-new county sentiment has developed from any source: even the corporations, which were said to be lined up with the Wilkesbarre end, are not taking a hand. President Samuels of the Board of Trade, denies the statement sent out from Wilkesbarre that the politicians of Hazleton are behind the new county movement. He says that the politicians were hot consulted, but that the bill was for the benefit of the people of Hazleton and vicinity, who must now travel a long distance at great inconvenience and expense to and from their county seat when they have business with the courts. for Thaw find uo objection to any of the twelve men dually selected. On the, other hand, we feel that his case will be judged by a jury of intelligence and integrity. There is some talk also of Governor Stokes, hut the conditions with respect to him are pot believed to have materially changed since he wrote a, letter to Judge .Tones of Orange in which he said he felt that he owed it to the poo- - "Personally 1 am perfectly confident that any jury of twelve men selected from any part of the United States would, after hearing Thaw's defense, send him forth a free man. The administration lias been assuring senators and representatives that if California conceded Japan's right to send her children to American schools the president could negotiate a treaty in which Japan would bind herself to keep her coolies home and the United States would agree to keep home her labor. The Tokyo government's refusal to accept this seriously indicates the administration made an error in drawing a diplomatic conclusion. Funeral of Jacob Itackes The funeral of Jacob Haekes, who died Saturday morning, was held this morning- aj 9:30 o'clock, and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends from Pittston. Wilkesbarre and Seranton. The GOerman St. Joseph Society, the Harmonic Society and the Molders' I'nion also attended. The remains were taken to St. Mary's Catholic church, where a requiem high mass was sung by Rev. Father Brehl. Interment was made In St. Mary's cemetery, Hughestown. The following out of town relatives and friends attended: Wilkesbarre, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Klein, Mr. and Mrs. N" IT. Weiss, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Weiss, Sr., J. B. Klein, Mrs. Wolfe; Seranton, Mr. and Mrs. Shields and daughter Eliza; Elizabeth, X. J., Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Haekes. The floral tributes, which were very handsome, were sent by the following: Bouquet of ferns by the sons of the deceased, wreath of ivy and roses by Mr. and Mrs. X. H. Weiss, pillow of roses by the International Moulders' Union, Xo. 133. Relative to the terms of lease, M. Kriaud states that any legal clause may be inserted by mutual consent of the parties to the lease, while the ecclesiastical situation of the signatory clergyman may be set forth with a description of Hie powers he holds from his hierarchical superiors. Should a clergyman before signing desire to consult his bishop it is only necessary for him to request a delay for that purpose.

Another stumhlihK block In the governor's way is the provision of (he New Jersey state constitution against a governor being elected to the United States senate. "Thaw will be freed upon the strict application of the laws on the statute l»ooks of the state of New York. There will lie 110 intervention of the so called 'unwritten law.' We do not need to go beyond the statute books to convince the jury that he should be acquitted."Says Thaw Will Be Freed. L. V. CHANGE. W.

Hi' left Say re yesterday for Auburn, where he will have his office in the future and from which he will render his reports to Division Freight Agent Williams, at Ithaca. He will be succeeded in Say re by W. J. Sheridan, who has been employed as chief clerk in the office of the division freight agent at Buffalo. The election of Mr. Brlggs would create a vacancy in the office of state treasurer, and this matter is likely to be considered in the caucus called to select Mr. l»ryden's successor. Xo developments are expected until the Sail Francisco authorities have their conference at the White House. This conference is expected to occur next Saturday. Tlicy will then be asked to reverse their attitude oh the school subject. One of the jurymen whom the district attorney's detectives investigated was Wilbur I*\ Steele. He is juror No. S). When questioned on the witness stand Steeie said he was a manufacture! of gas plants. Word reached the district attorney, however, that Steele formerly was associated in business with William Thaw, father of the prisoner. The supposed business association between Steele and William Tliaw was related in a dispatch from Minneapolis, but whether the man mentioned in the dispatch is the same Wilbur P. Steele who occupies a seat In the jury box lias not been established.NEW MACHINE SHOPS. (irand Rapids, Mich..

Ground is being broken for the new machine shops to be built by the Lackawanna railroad in Scranton at a cost of more than $2,000,000. A clause may be included in tlie lease by which it is annulled should the signatory leave the sect to which he belonged when he signed, lint even when not written such a clause would be considered as existing. JAPS TO INSIST ON RIGHTS. Believe That Dispute Will Be Settled The buildings will be almost as extensive as the car shops in Keyser valley and will require more than one year for their construction. The shops when in full operation will give employment for about 1,500 men and all the work now done in other machine shop on the system will be transferred to Scranton. The existing shops will be torn down with the erection of the new shops, to give additional yard Without Sacrifice on Their Part. BULLET BROKE SIGNAL Tokyo, Peb. -1.—After a careful survey of p.ublic opinion here regarding the prospect of a satisfactory solution of the San Francisco school controversy. it may be stated that while the approach of the termination of the disagreeable affair is welcomed, yet the report from Washington that a solution may lie effected by mutual treaty, ex eluding the Immigration of laborers, is generally disbelieved as unreasonable. Men employed in the signal department of the Lehigh Valley discovered that the glass in signal Xo. 2702, between Say re and Athens, was broken. Further examination showed that the break was caused by a bullet. There" are at present no clues as to the identity of the person who attempted to damage the working of the signal and the Lehigh will pay a substantial reward for any information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the miscreant. The circular. - though addressed to prefects and mayors, appears to be equally intended to offer advice to the clergy. The pall bearers were selected from the three organizations, and were as follows: From the Stl Josephs' and Harmonic Society, Adolph Boos. Jacob Scherer, John Kaul, Joseph Sander; from the Molders, James Kennedy and James Lunnoy. The flower cariers were Jacob Wacks, Joseph Baker. Henry Kress and Wm. Xaugle. New Transpacific Record.
