Feb. 5.—Temporary insanity, due to heredity, and the stress of wrongs alleged to have boon in flieted upon bis ' wife by Stanford White were disclosed as the dual defense of Harry Kendall Thaw. Yesterday afternoon, the Gazette printed a special bulletin issued by the Weather Bureau, predicting snow and colder weather in this section of the country last night and today. Sure enough, the prediction was fulfilled. Both snow and colder weather are on hand, in liberal quantity, and the snow storm is ono of the heaviest that has been cxperlerited in the Wyoming Valley during the present winter. The fleecy flakes began to fall last evening about eight qtelock. They came down very gradually at first, but by ten o'clock lhe wind had arisen and the snow was being whirled hither and thither at a lively rate, making the weather exceedingly rough. Albany, X. Y„ Feb. 5.—As a result of their investigation of the ••graft" charges against employees in the department of public buildings Governor Hughes and his associates on the board of capilol trustees ordered the removal from office of Acting Deputy Superintendent of Public Buildings Richard O'Brien of Jamestown, Chun tauqua county, and Chief Engineer James Johnston of Albany. Now York, Feb. 5.—Wall street Is confident that this country will have no war with .Japan over the California school question and expresses something akin to amusement at the wat talk emanating from Washington. With the exception of Lawrence White, son of Stanford White, who fold of his father going to the theater on the fatal evening of .lune 25. I'.HMi. and the coroner's physician who performed the autopsy and described the 'wounds oil White's body, the only persons called to the stand by the state were live eyewitnesses. They were cross examined briefly . by Attorney Dolphin" Delmas of the defense, who thus appeared nctlvejy in the proceedings for flic first time. .Mrs. William Thaw, the prisoner's mother, and Mrs. Kvelyn Nesbit Thaw, his young wife, will be the chief witnesses for Thaw. "We will convince you finally that when he saw Stanford White his mind in its diseased state so operated that lie felt it to be an act of God's providence to kill him and that lie walked directly to Stanford White's side as a man might walk to meet a friend and then and there shot him to death." PETER LYNOTT KILLED "The street" has what It considers excellent reasons for saying war is impossible, and chief among these reasons is that Japan owes us approximately one-third of her total foreign Indebtedness. There was a strong hint, too, in the opening speech of John R. O lea son for the defense and in the cross examination by Mr. Delmas that self defense, CDr the belief of Thaw that be was acting In self defense, would figure as a secondary plea.

Skull Fractured and Both Legs Brok- The witnesses told nothing that has not been known to the reading public ever since the night of the tragedy. They related the deliberate manner in which Thaw approached White, faced him and tired. They repeated Thaw's assertion, "He ruined my wife," and Mrs. Thaw's remark to her husband, When the denizens or' the valley bestirred from their slumbers this morning they found six or eight inches of beautiful snow on the ground, and the storm was still in progress.

To this last remark Thaw replied, "Dearie, I have probably saved your life." Hospital, That a declaration of war would be equivalent to Japan's financial suicide is now the opinion of the biggest ine.i in the street." The state having put the case so simply up to the defense to prove its jtistiiicatlon bears out the theory that Mr. Jerome Is saving Ins real efforts for the rebuttal. He also announced that some of the cross examinations of the defense's witnesses will be lengthy. State Employees In Business. Peter Lynott, a Cork Lane resident about 30 years old. was fatally injured last evening about 6 o'clock by falling from the Erie trestle over the Laurel Line tracks, near Cork Lane. He died early this morning at Pittston hospital. Lynott was returning from his work when the accident occurred. He was the second member of his family to meet a tragic death within a year, his brother, Martin Lynott, having been run down by a car on the Avoca line some months ago and fatally injured,Although a large amount of snow fell, it was fortuitately of a very light and dry character, so that the resident who owns 4 corner did not find the work of {clearing his walks a p-rent burden and the interference with traffic was not nearly so serious as the same -"amount of wi t snow would have been.,' The trustees issued an order that uo employee of the state should be interested in any corporation or firm (loins business with the state or in any trans action with or profit from the state. It was brought out that Thaw looked back at his victim as he walked away "with a staring look in his eyes." Looked Back at Victim. At Ilu» present time the national indebtedness of Jnpau is more than $1.0011,000.000., Of this $585,000,000 Is external or foreign debt, and the United States has taken np about $190,000,- 000 of the bonds. Japan's Big Debt. The trustees say they found much evidence involving charges and countercharges in the department. They instructed Superlniendcnt ('.-thill to make a thorough and impartial investigation. In his speech Mr. Gleason. Thaw's lawyer, said: David X. Carvalho, a handwriting expert, was in court, sitting beside the prisoner. It is suid he will be called to identify certain letters alleged to have beoli written by Stanford White aud now in the hands of the defense. "We will appeal to no higher law. We will not ask you to give our client back his freedom on any law except the law of the state of New York. Nevertheless street traffic throughout the valley was seriously] handicapped. Early in the morning a couple of cars pushed their wayf slowly through Mivln street, but latei in the morning the track was completely blocked, , 011 account of the snow having been packed on the rails by wagons and sleighs. The Indications are that the cars will not be running on schedule time before ev- ".Money is the most important thing to be considered in waging war," said Jefferson Seligrnan. "No matter what kind of army or navy Japan might have she couldn't think of war unless she had money." 1'nless o:s;D Kelsey, state superintendent of insurance, changes his mind within the is;-t forty-eight hours a sensational oSieial and political battle is scheduled to take place.

He was engaged at the tunnel work and after quitting last evening started for his home. He was walking alone, and it has not been learned that he exhibited any signs of weakness. When he reached the Laurel Line crossing at Broad street he did not take the public bridge, which is protected with guard rails, but turned to the narrow trestle of the Erie railroad. He was walking over this when he was noticed to totter and pitch headlong over the edge. He dropped about 30 feet and landed head first on the Laurel Line tracks. "We will prove that Harry Thaw was insane when he killed Stanford White; we will prove that lie was not accountable for his actions, that he believed the death of Stanford White to lie an act of Providence and that he believed himself to lie an agent of Providence. I frankly state to you now that insanity is our defense. CHILD SURVIVES SEVERE OPERATION •'Where would she get money if she wanted to fight?" he was asked.

A 15 months old child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dobbie, of Duryea, underwent a very delicate operation in lUoomfiburg a few days aero and seems to be recovering nciely. Two separated ends of the child's backbone were fastened together by wiring, and it is expected that by this means the young one will receive C.e use of Its limbs. A I!loom.jburg physician, who had been successful with one other similar case, was entrusted with the operation. When the child was born it was noticed that the backbone did not seem complete, and physicians believed that the baby would die within a few days or weeks, at the longest. However, it survied, but a growth protruded gradually from the point where the bohe seemed separated. The child never got the use of jts limbs, but Was otherwise normal. A short time ago ■its' parents heard of a Bloomsburg physician who had cured a somewhat .similar Case and the baby was brought to him. He agreed to operate and did so. The growth was removed and then the disconnected ends of the backbone drawn together and securely fastened by wire. The child rallied from the operation and is now in Its usual state of health. It has not received the use of its legs yet, but it Is expected that the child will shortly become normal. Superintendent Kekey's Defense, many."

The man was on the northbound track and his head was only a few inches from the third rail. A northbound car approached the station and Williams flagged it. The young man was placed aboard the car and hurried lo Market street station. Dr. Myers gave him temporary treatment there and he was shortly afterward removed to the hospital. An examination showed that his skull was fractured and both thighs broken. He was injured internally also. Nothing could be done to alleviate the man's condition. He died about 2:15 o'clock, without regaining' consciousness. The remains were removed to the home of his sister, Mrs. Martin Xealon, of Cork Lane. Manager Thomas, of the Western Union Co., reports that the telegraph wires to New York and -Buffalo are all in good working order.
