Cos. C and H, for whose use the fine new building has been erected by the State, turned over the arrangements for the dedication celebration to a representative committee of citizens, with Hon. C. C. Bowman as chairman, and this committee has made a remarkable success of the work. The plans for the dedication have been most elaborate. Nothing has been left undone that energy and money could accomplish, and great interest has been aroused among Unpeople of the community. The coming of Governor Stuart and his olticial family from Harrisburg to attend the dedication will add to the brilliancy of the. occasion, it being so seldom that such a distinguished company of officials honors us with their presence. Klverbead, X. V.. Feb. 6.---Testimony startling to both the defense and the prosecution developed unexpectedly in the supreme court nt the trial of Dr. James W. Simpson for the shooting of his father-in-law. Hart lay Horner. The surprise wns furnished by S. El linger Frank of Brooklyn, a former neighbor of the Homers. Trenton. X. J., Feb. (?.—The Republican legislative caucus nominated Frank O. Briggs for United States senator to succeed John F. Dryden. The choice was made by a vote of to 18. The vote was subsequently made unanimous. insnno- "For how long a time was he snb jeet to St. Vitus' dance?" stress—when he shot and killed Stanford White was taken up by the defense in this famous case, but it is the general opinion in the courtroom that the other experts for the defense must fare better than Dr. Charles J. Wiley, the (irst one called, if they are to accomplish anything for the defendant. ■ "For a period of a few weeks." After Dr. Bingainan h«d described St. Vitus' dance Mr. Jerome asked a single question. Following is the vote in detail: Statu Treasurer Hriggs, 'j'J; Governor Stokes, "Mow old was Thaw when he had St, Vitus' dance?" S. Ettinger Frank and his mother reached Mr. Horner's side after his death. He later took the gun which killed Mr. Horner to his home. Asked why he did this, he replied: "Six years." District Attorney Jerome went over every fact, that had been given to Dr. Wiley In connection with the shooting and finally forced the witness to admit that he did not want to go on record as having given a scientific opinion. Mr. Jerome then directed his probe to finding oiit the qualltictitians of the witness as an expert on iinanity. He asked him first If he knew what the Romberg test was. Relative's Testimony Ruled Out, On every point the defense was beaten by the prosecution. After holding up Thaw's expert witness. Dr. Charles J. Wiley, to ridicule District Attorney Jerome succeeded in keeping front t lie stand witnesses whose testimony was considered lDy t lie defense to be most important in proving that Thaw was insane when he shot Stanford White. When Albert K. Thaw, a second cousin of the prisoner, was called Mr. Jerome objected to the witness testifying as to insanity on his branch of the fiunily. There was a long argument over the advisability of such evidence. John K. (Sleason. one of the Thaw lawyers. contended that, as lie had already adducted evidence tending to show that Marry Thaw was insane when he killed Mr. White, it was permissible for the defense to show insanity among relatives of the defendant. * "I took the gun home because I thought Dr. Simpson might use it on himself." One of the keystones in (lie prosecution's structure of evidence lias been the shotgun shells that were credited with being the ones from which the fatal charges were fired. These shells have been marked for identification, scrutinized by experts and minutely examined by the jurors. They were considered as essential in the case against Dr. Simpson as the weapon from which the shots were fired. Every mark on the shells has been noted as bearing on the question of their accidental discharge. They are red in color. They were shown to Mr. Frank, and he was asked to identify them. His face look on an expression of surprise as he gazed at them. Then ho announced: A pretty marriage took place in fit. John's church this afternoon at 4:30, whereby Miss laiey Keating, of Cork Kane, became the bride of John Mc- Andrew. Uev. John P. O'Mailey officiated and many friends were present. The bride wore a gown of cream volte anti a picture bat. She carried bride roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Sara Dunn, of Scranton, wore a gown of pink, over silk and wore a white hat. She carrjeC| pink carnations. The groomsman was a brother or the groom, William McAndrew, of New- York. Miss Liangan was at the organ and played appropriate selections. The wedding party enjoyed a drive to Wilkesbariv after the ceremony and •oil their return a reception will be given in honor of the newly wedded couple. Miss Redding, of North Main street, served. Mr. and Mrs, McAndrew received a large number of handsome presents. The bride is a most estimable young lady. Mr. McAndrew is a well known young man, who is employed as a machinist in Coxton yard. This test consists of making the person to be examined stand np with his heels together and clos:- his eyes. If he stand still without swaying he Is considered to be mentally sound. The test is one of the simplest known to medical science, but Dr. Wiley said he had never heard of it, at least under that name. Many and conflicting rumors, but all in effect that a serious difference of opinion as to (lie conduct of the defense in the Thaw murder trial, followed a conference of the prisoner's attorneys. The reports were based chiefly 011 the understanding (hat Thaw's Tliere will be four distinct features to the celebration—a lunch in honor of the visiting officials, a military and civic parade, the dedication ceremonies, and a military promenade and hop. The entire afternoon and evening will be taken up with the programme, and the prospects are that the community will make a general holiday in honor of the event. The business houses 011 both sides of the river will be closed during the afternoon. as also will the public schools of Pittston and West Pittston, and the citizens along the line of march for the parade have promised to make a gmerous display of the Stars and Stripes. Judge Fitzgerald sustained the district attorney's objection. T'ruler his ruling it will be necessary for the defense to introduce some evidence that insanity did not exist iu the mingling strains of blood before a cousin of Thaw can testify to insanity in his family. Dr. Carlos MacDonald and Austin Flint, who will lie called as experts by the prosecution in rebuttal, were smiling broadly. Other experts ou Thaw's side looked very solemn. After flagging through a day mainly Idled with the technical cross examination of Dr. Wiley, the Pittsburg alienist. interest revived when If was intimated by counsel that Evelyn Thaw would probably lie put on the stand This M'u-iiiiig's Proceedings. 1 KAXK O.

Not Shells Found In Gun "Those are not the shells I' found in the gun. Those in the gun on the night of Mr. Horner's death were yellow; these are red." In joint session later the legislature Chose Mr. Briggs to succeed Dryden. He received 41 out of 73 votes cast. Senator Ackerman (ttep.) voted for former Governor Griggs, and Senator Colby voted for Judge Pitney. James K. Marline, the Democratic nominee, received thirty five votes.

District Attorney Furrnan Jumped to his feet, demanding of the witness a reason why the information had not been furnished (o the state in the investigation of the alleged murder. The discomfiture of Dr. Wiley by Mr. Jerome was complete. So exasperated diil the l'ittsburg physician become at one point that he said tartly: A WARNING. "I came here as a material witness to the fact and have Ix-en converted into an expert without preparation." Chief of Police l«oftun warns all property holders against sneak thieves, a large number of whom will probably dock to this city tomorrow to ply their trade during the armory dedication ceremonies. Householders are all warned to lock their houses tight when they leave to see the parade, as the light fingered gentry will make a specialty of unlocked doors and windows. Those living along the line of march should lock the rear entrances to their houses, as thieves might ransack rooms without being detected. All augmented police force will be on duty throughout tin' city all day in order to keep crooks out. "Didn't you realize that a man's life depended 011 (hose shells?" Mr. Furman shouted. Nor was Thaw ill'- only one perturb«d. llis attorneys are in a panicky state. Attorney (lleason's legal floundering yesterday has thrown the half million dollar defense into a state of "By saying you were converted into an expert after you came here do you mean you were not an expert when you came here?" Mr. Jerome questioned sweetly. This raised a laugh throughout the courtroom, in which the witness did not join. Graduated From Military Academy.

"Do you think Thaw was insane 1m mediately after he killed Stanford Whiter* "I think the holding up of the pistol was an Insane act." "Why?" Counsel Suspected Change Elsewhere it was declared on alleged authority that the matter had,been referred fo Thaw,, who had elected that Gleason be deposed. Jerome's confidence in his ability to convict Harry Thaw is no better shown than in his .statement today that, rather than having the prisoner's chances jeopardized by the disagreements of the counsel for the defense he would ask for the withdrawal of a juror and bring about a mistrial. Among the bills introduced in the House today were the following: Martin .1, Manton. counsel for Dr. Simpson, said. "I have always suspected that the shells produced by the prosecution were not the ones from which the fatal charges were tired." "What then do those insane who killed do after a killing?"

Hartridgc to act as chief counsel, with Mr. Delmas in charge of all examinations, it was stated. Mr. Gleason. it was said, would act henceforth merely in a consulting capacity. There was more floundering over whether Thaw's acts at the time of the killing of Mr. White were those of an insane man. Dr. Wiley dwelt upon (he unusual nature of those acts being in dicative of insanity.
