Thaw, was continued today. The testimony was carried out along the same lines as yesterday, Jerome questioning the doctor very carefully concerning the general knowledge of the defendant, at the time when certain events occurred. The crowd today was somewhat smaller than heretofore, showing that the prolonged expert testimony is becoming tiresome to the public. It is expected that Dr. Wagner may be dismissed before court adjourns and Mrs. William Thaw called to the stand. St. Petersburg.

During the fury of the storm thunder and lightning was prevalent, telegraph and telephone lines were seriously affected, shutters and chimneys were blown down, pedestrians were obliged to seek shelter from a fifty-two mile northwestern wind and persons all over the city were frightened by tin weird and marvelous storm.

One letter was from a fisherman in a little town about llfty miles from New- Orleans, inclosing what is known as an "American pearl," such as are found in tresh water oysters. The pearl was very small, but perfect, and the fisherman had taken great care to insure its delivery in good order. In the letter the fisherman said: There is a very general feeling that a reign of terror will follow a dissolution.

Jtrome Clashes With Judge. While dull in the matter of the testimony elicited from Dr. Wagner, the trial was enlivened by a clash between District Attorney Jerome and Justice Fitzgerald, at the climax of which the prosecuting officer refused point blank to cite to the court the authorities upon which lie was predicating ail argument.

W1AG\ER Mrs. Ticslic Corbett IS South Main Street. New President's Address. (Ha Uriel's Beautiful Composition, Exceptionally sad is the death of Mrs. Leslie Corbelt. a much respected young woman, who passed away this afternoon at 2 o'clock at her home, on Warren street. The immediate cause of death was convulsions, and her passing away was a great shock to the members of her family, as her condition had been very encouraging but a short time before the end came. The deceased was '22 years of age, and her maiden name wan Miss Edna French. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William French, of Warren street. About a year ago she was united in marriage to Leslie Corbett. She is survived by her husband: one child, a son born yesterday, and her parents. The Corbelt family resides in the same house on Warren street, where E. R. Hughes also lies dead, having passed away on Monday evening.M. Cioluboff surrendered the chair to President (ioloviu. who said, addressing the douma: "Saul." Rendered by Large Chor- us in Duryea "The will of parliament is law. Therefore we accept thankfully the ;,'i'eal. honor conferred on us. Although we are of various opinions, we are all united with the same indention of unifying the country on a constitutional basis. Wo all know how passionately the country is awaiting relief from its sufferings, the way for which has already been pointed out by the first dottnia and involves the fulfillment of the promises made in the October U'.Mo) manifesto and the working out of a mass of social legislation." One of the most ambitious musical productions over attempted in Duryea was the rendition of the. beautiful classic composition, "Saul," written by. Charles H. Gabriel, last evening, in the Riverside Baptist church, by the combined choirs of the Lawrenceville and Avoca Primitive Methodist churches. The church was filled to overflowing with an audience that was greatly interested in the programme and whose expectations were more than realized. The oratorio contains some very difficult imylc, but the chorus was a capable one and had been thoroughly drilled, so that the various numbers were rendered in splendid form. The, music is exalted in character, and the singers entered deeply into the spirit of the composition. The solo parts were well rendered by the following singers: Saul, John Harnett, bass, of Scranton: Ab!- gaile, Mrs. Edith Hichards Meckel, soprano, of Scranton; Michael, Mrs. Albert Pilling, alto, of Scranton; David, Daniel Jones, first tenor, of Old Forge: Jonathan, Pierson Gibbs, second tenor, of Moosie; Samuel, Harry Evans, baritone, of Old Forse. The musical director was Edward Jones, and the superb manner in which the oratorio was rendered reflected much credit on his skill as a director. Miss Ilea trice Perry, of Duryea, was the pianist, and an orchestra further enhanced the effectiveness of the renditions."Would you accept money from John B. Rockefeller to carry on your work'.'" General Booth was asked. "1 would take money from anybody and would wash it In the tears of the widows and orphans. Some time ago 1 was censured for accepting money from the Marquis of Queensberry because he made the prize fighting rules. Thaw Insane Now, Says Jerome. During the course of his argument District Attorney Jerome placed himself 011 record by saying that the legal assumption before the court is that Harry K. Thaw is insane. He declared the alienists for the defense have shown Thaw to have been insane as late as Sept. 2'J last, and in the absence of proof to the contrary the assumption is that he remains Insane. "1 do not know what 1 shall do in Japan. The lirst thing we did there was to have a law passed that resulted in the emancipation of twenty or thirty thousand girls, who were practically held in slavery." After announcing that the first duty of the dotima, according to the statutes, was to announce his election to the czar President (Jolovin adjourned the body, lie will be received by the canton Thursday, and the douunt will not meet again until after that. No Big Gift, Says Rockefeller, At one time Mr. Jerome asked Dr. Wagner If he could tell what form of insanity the defendant is suffering from today.

Thaw, was continued today. The testimony was carried out along the same lines as yesterday, Jerome questioning the doctor very carefully concerning the general knowledge of the defendant, at the time when certain events occurred. The crowd today was somewhat smaller than heretofore, showing that the prolonged expert testimony is becoming tiresome to the public. It is expected that Dr. Wagner may be dismissed before court adjourns and Mrs. William Thaw called to the stand. St. Petersburg. March 0.—It is not believed that the second douma, which was formally opened in the Taurlde palace, will have a longer life than did its predecessor, which was dissolve ed by the cssnr when it became apparent that it was determined to regard itself as the governing power of the empire.

During the fury of the storm thunder and lightning was prevalent, telegraph and telephone lines were seriously affected, shutters and chimneys were blown down, pedestrians were obliged to seek shelter from a fifty-two mile northwestern wind and persons all over the city were frightened by tin weird and marvelous storm.

One letter was from a fisherman in a little town about llfty miles from New- Orleans, inclosing what is known as an "American pearl," such as are found in tresh water oysters. The pearl was very small, but perfect, and the fisherman had taken great care to insure its delivery in good order. In the letter the fisherman said: There is a very general feeling that a reign of terror will follow a dissolution.

Revolutionary speeches were made, and red flags were displayed in the crowds, which had by that time swelled to about 40,000 persons, who packed all the streets for blocks around the palace. Jtrome Clashes With Judge. While dull in the matter of the testimony elicited from Dr. Wagner, the trial was enlivened by a clash between District Attorney Jerome and Justice Fitzgerald, at the climax of which the prosecuting officer refused point blank to cite to the court the authorities upon which lie was predicating ail argument.

W1AG\ER Mrs. Ticslic Corbett IS South Main Street. New President's Address. (Ha Uriel's Beautiful Composition, Exceptionally sad is the death of Mrs. Leslie Corbelt. a much respected young woman, who passed away this afternoon at 2 o'clock at her home, on Warren street. The immediate cause of death was convulsions, and her passing away was a great shock to the members of her family, as her condition had been very encouraging but a short time before the end came. The deceased was '22 years of age, and her maiden name wan Miss Edna French. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William French, of Warren street. About a year ago she was united in marriage to Leslie Corbett. She is survived by her husband: one child, a son born yesterday, and her parents. The Corbelt family resides in the same house on Warren street, where E. R. Hughes also lies dead, having passed away on Monday evening.M. Cioluboff surrendered the chair to President (ioloviu. who said, addressing the douma: "Saul." Rendered by Large Chor- us in Duryea "The will of parliament is law. Therefore we accept thankfully the ;,'i'eal. honor conferred on us. Although we are of various opinions, we are all united with the same indention of unifying the country on a constitutional basis. Wo all know how passionately the country is awaiting relief from its sufferings, the way for which has already been pointed out by the first dottnia and involves the fulfillment of the promises made in the October U'.Mo) manifesto and the working out of a mass of social legislation." One of the most ambitious musical productions over attempted in Duryea was the rendition of the. beautiful classic composition, "Saul," written by. Charles H. Gabriel, last evening, in the Riverside Baptist church, by the combined choirs of the Lawrenceville and Avoca Primitive Methodist churches. The church was filled to overflowing with an audience that was greatly interested in the programme and whose expectations were more than realized. The oratorio contains some very difficult imylc, but the chorus was a capable one and had been thoroughly drilled, so that the various numbers were rendered in splendid form. The, music is exalted in character, and the singers entered deeply into the spirit of the composition. The solo parts were well rendered by the following singers: Saul, John Harnett, bass, of Scranton: Ab!- gaile, Mrs. Edith Hichards Meckel, soprano, of Scranton; Michael, Mrs. Albert Pilling, alto, of Scranton; David, Daniel Jones, first tenor, of Old Forge: Jonathan, Pierson Gibbs, second tenor, of Moosie; Samuel, Harry Evans, baritone, of Old Forse. The musical director was Edward Jones, and the superb manner in which the oratorio was rendered reflected much credit on his skill as a director. Miss Ilea trice Perry, of Duryea, was the pianist, and an orchestra further enhanced the effectiveness of the renditions."Would you accept money from John B. Rockefeller to carry on your work'.'" General Booth was asked. "1 would take money from anybody and would wash it In the tears of the widows and orphans. Some time ago 1 was censured for accepting money from the Marquis of Queensberry because he made the prize fighting rules. Thaw Insane Now, Says Jerome. During the course of his argument District Attorney Jerome placed himself 011 record by saying that the legal assumption before the court is that Harry K. Thaw is insane. He declared the alienists for the defense have shown Thaw to have been insane as late as Sept. 2'J last, and in the absence of proof to the contrary the assumption is that he remains Insane. "1 do not know what 1 shall do in Japan. The lirst thing we did there was to have a law passed that resulted in the emancipation of twenty or thirty thousand girls, who were practically held in slavery." After announcing that the first duty of the dotima, according to the statutes, was to announce his election to the czar President (Jolovin adjourned the body, lie will be received by the canton Thursday, and the douunt will not meet again until after that. No Big Gift, Says Rockefeller, At one time Mr. Jerome asked Dr. Wagner If he could tell what form of insanity the defendant is suffering from today.
