Murder Case. The ladies of thy Y. M. C. A. nuxiliary had set their expectations high for the bazaar which they arc conducting, but it is safe to say that the success of the project has outreached even the highest expectations. The bazaar was open yesterday afternoon and evening, and proved a great drawing card for the people of I'ittSton and West Plttston. The rooms on the first and second floors of the building were thronged with people from early in the afternoon until late in the evening, and it is estimated that upwards of a thousand people visited the bazaar. There was much to interest all who came. The beauty of the booths and the decorations received much admiration, while the articles on sale proved very attractive. Every department reported business far beyond the expectations. Friends of the auxiliary, including the business men of the entire valley, had been most generous, with the result that there was a great abundance of articles of every description to be offered for sale, and they found ready purchasers. Tbe apron booth was completely sold out before the close of the evening. In the other booths many articles remained. and 11 is expected that they will be disposed of this afternoon and evening, when the bazaar w|ll be brought to a close. Inasmuch as the ladies have decided that there shall be no auction in connection with the bazaar, they have marked the articles at very reasonable prices, and purchasers are securing bargains. The Persian eats of Mrs. Castro attracted many visitors, and considerable amusement, together with much financial profit, was provided by the Mother Goose House—a modernization of the old-fashioned grab-bag. The refreshment rooms on the first floor were liberally patronized and helped to swell the financial receipts materially. Excellent music by the Metallic Chapel orchestra added to the pleasure of those who attended the bazaar, and the orchestra will be on hand again this evening. Mrs. William Thaw came to the aid of District Attorney Jerome in his efforts to have Thaw declared insane and thus save him from the electric chair or prison.

Xow York, March 22.-—On the convening of court today. Justice Fitzgerald excused the jury in 'the. Thaw case until Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. Pittsburg, I'a., March 22.—Officials of the Pennsylvania railroad believe that they have sufficient evidence to state that the tracks of the main line cast of Pittsburg were tampered with this morning by would-be trainwreekers near Stewart station, 17 miles cast of Pittsburg. A most rigid investigation is in progress, and detectives are also at work in that vicinity. At 3:f»2 this morning while the New* York-Chicago limited was speeding westward, near Stewart station. the engine suddenly left the rails, dragging with it tile mail, the Ixtggagc and three Pullman sleepers. Three Pullman sleepers remained on the rails. Beyond a severe shaking up and rude awakening, no one was Washington. March 22.—"I would put Harrlnian in .the penitentiary for the Chicngo and Alton deal," Senator f'ullom of Illiuois said after a conference with President Roosevelt. Thaw's Lawyers Scored. All Thaw's relatives were in the court room when the brief hearing began. Justice Fitzgerald having allowed them the privilege. When court opened Justice Fitzgerrld read the statement made by District Attorney Jerome, in which he' said lie had information which if presented to the court would cause the justice to stop the trial at once and appoint n commission in lunacy. "1 told the president this is what I would do Willi Harriman," he contiu lied, "hut I do not care to say whether or not the president agreed with me.

The plaintiffs sought lo recover damages for■ injuries received by Mrs. Smith through a freight ear jui'uping from the old canal track in WiiUcsbarre and crashing into their residence. The defense tried to have the court enter a nonsuit in the case after the plaintiffs' side had rested "ti the ground that the plaintiff had failed to prove negligence and had not included in the declaration that tlie injury was caused by a defective roadbed.

Last Evening. missing. NO FOREIGN ACTION Liebler & Co.'s grout production, "In the Bishop's Carriage," with Miss Jessie Busloy in the leading role, delighted a large audience at the Broad street theater last evening. The play is a dramatization liy Channing Pollock of Miriam Mtchclson's widely read novel of the same name. The piece was a pronounced success and the clever star proved herself an actress of no mean ability and thoroughly charmed the audience with versatility and power. Although in her lighter parts Miss Busley was undoubtedly best, in the heavier lines she displayed a rare talent, and her perfect portrayal of her part in such moments earned for her the approval of all who were present. In the role of Nance Olden, the girl thief, she makes her entrance into the play in a burst of passion more befitting a climax than the entrance of a star, and It bespeaks well for her that she was able to sustain the interest and even increase it to the end, after precipitating herself into a play in a dramatic moment, with the attention of her hearers at an intensity. The company which assisted Miss Busley was an excellent one. Byron Douglas, as William Latimer, was good in his part and interpreted his lines with great merit. His voice was modulated at all times to suit the occasion. James Keane, as Tom Dergan. the human derelict and criminal, was successful in his role and his portrayal of the thug filled the piece with a tense atmosphere of criminology. The piece was exceedingly well staged. The story of the play presents a fertile field for a broad and varied display of acting, from (he melodramatic climaxes to the keener and more subtle readings, which was taken full advantage of by the star and her able assistants. Against these theories of the officials are the signals. The semaphores are automatic in action. They are sn arranged that should I here be a break in the rails, the electric current is interfered with, and the signals immediately set for danger. The engineer, however, is positive that the signals gave him a clear track. Commander Secures Prom- ise/Of Ships' Safeguard. The senator was asked if there would be further legislation to strengthen the rate law and give the federal government more control over bond and stock A Helpless Lunatic GOLDFIELD MURDER WAS SENSATIONAL Seven alienists, acting for the prosecution, made affidavits, which were presented in court, that Harry K. Thaw is today a helpless lunatic. Seven alienists for the defense presumably Stand ready lo swear that his present condition comes within the leg.il scope of competency to advise with his counsel on the merits of the case. The first road mentioned is in horrible condition a large part of the year and at times is practically impassible. A week ago the commissioners and judges made a trip over it and the large automobile they occupied ua.s stuck several times. The roads are at present under the jurisdiction of the townships through which tbojr run and the townships are supposed to keep them in repair. The legal move in view is to have the grand jury condemn the roads then have the county macadamize them and take full charge of keeping them Washington, March, liluejackets and murines have been landed from the I'nited States gunboat Marietta at Trujillo and Ceilta and probably at Puerto forte/. Honduras, in order to issues. "It is the desire of the administration not to do anything that will disturb real public interest or in any way override the rights of the several states." he remarked. "I believe a valuation of the roads should be made, provided any proper system of doing it can be devised." Descried Husband Followed Couple 7.000 Miles and Sliot a Russian protect ports.

Fall River, Mass., March 22.—A number of the employees of the American I'riiitinit company were searched by detectives as they left the works, and thirteen of them were arrested charged with the larceny of cloth. The detectives are said to have found strips of Cloth taken from the print works wrapped about the bodies of some of the men and stuffed into the dinner pails of others. Defeat For Standard Oil. Chicago. March 22. The Standard} Oil company in its trial bpforp Judge Land is on a charge of accepting rebates from the Chicago and Alton rail way met with defeat on nearly every point. Killings of the court balked the efforts of the company's attorneys to bar technical evidence, on which the government's case is principally based. The navy department feels that th« action taken by Commander Fvillaiii brings the situation completely in hand so far as the safeguarding of trade in terests is concerned. In addition to the protection given to Americans it is Celt that the action of this government will relieve foreign governments of the necessity of taking any steps toward making a naval demonstration. That any of the defense's experts would co so far as to swear that Harry Thaw is now sane is highly improbable. It is no secret that they all believe him to be of unsound mind. The careful avoidance by counsel for ttlie defense of any questions to their own experts tending to show the present condition of the defendant is significant ill this respect. Concerning the upper end of the road the engineers who made the survey and later reported to the county commissioners spoke as follows: i 11 repa i r The count and a fashionably dressed woman were sitting in the restaurant when Hines entered, walking directly up to the count he drew a revolver and tired Ave shots into the Russian's body.

Calmly as if lie were about to reply to a toast at a banquet table Hines then laid the weapon on a table and mounted a chair. SPECIAL NOTICES.

The landing of bluejackets and marines and the policing of both shores of the Central American republics with Vntted States gunboats before trading vessels had been molested in any mat" ner or foreign interests jeopardized is regarded here as a diplomatic move that will prevent any international complications growing out of the policy of the t'nlted States not to permit European demonstrations in Central American or South American waters.

There was much to interest all who came. The beauty of the booths and the decorations received much admiration, while the articles on sale proved very attractive. Every department reported business far beyond the expectations. Friends of the auxiliary, including the business men of the entire valley, had been most generous, with the result that there was a great abundance of articles of every description to be offered for sale, and they found ready purchasers. Tbe apron booth was completely sold out before the close of the evening. In the other booths many articles remained. and 11 is expected that they will be disposed of this afternoon and evening, when the bazaar w|ll be brought to a close. Inasmuch as the ladies have decided that there shall be no auction in connection with the bazaar, they have marked the articles at very reasonable prices, and purchasers are securing bargains. The Persian eats of Mrs. Castro attracted many visitors, and considerable amusement, together with much financial profit, was provided by the Mother Goose House—a modernization of the old-fashioned grab-bag. The refreshment rooms on the first floor were liberally patronized and helped to swell the financial receipts materially. Excellent music by the Metallic Chapel orchestra added to the pleasure of those who attended the bazaar, and the orchestra will be on hand again this evening. Mrs. William Thaw came to the aid of District Attorney Jerome in his efforts to have Thaw declared insane and thus save him from the electric chair or prison.

Pittsburg, I'a., March 22.—Officials of the Pennsylvania railroad believe that they have sufficient evidence to state that the tracks of the main line cast of Pittsburg were tampered with this morning by would-be trainwreekers near Stewart station, 17 miles cast of Pittsburg. A most rigid investigation is in progress, and detectives are also at work in that vicinity. At 3:f»2 this morning while the New* York-Chicago limited was speeding westward, near Stewart station. the engine suddenly left the rails, dragging with it tile mail, the Ixtggagc and three Pullman sleepers. Three Pullman sleepers remained on the rails. Beyond a severe shaking up and rude awakening, no one was Washington.

Last Evening. missing. NO FOREIGN ACTION Liebler & Co.'s grout production, "In the Bishop's Carriage," with Miss Jessie Busloy in the leading role, delighted a large audience at the Broad street theater last evening. The play is a dramatization liy Channing Pollock of Miriam Mtchclson's widely read novel of the same name. The piece was a pronounced success and the clever star proved herself an actress of no mean ability and thoroughly charmed the audience with versatility and power. Although in her lighter parts Miss Busley was undoubtedly best, in the heavier lines she displayed a rare talent, and her perfect portrayal of her part in such moments earned for her the approval of all who were present. In the role of Nance Olden, the girl thief, she makes her entrance into the play in a burst of passion more befitting a climax than the entrance of a star, and It bespeaks well for her that she was able to sustain the interest and even increase it to the end, after precipitating herself into a play in a dramatic moment, with the attention of her hearers at an intensity. The company which assisted Miss Busley was an excellent one. Byron Douglas, as William Latimer, was good in his part and interpreted his lines with great merit. His voice was modulated at all times to suit the occasion. James Keane, as Tom Dergan. the human derelict and criminal, was successful in his role and his portrayal of the thug filled the piece with a tense atmosphere of criminology. The piece was exceedingly well staged. The story of the play presents a fertile field for a broad and varied display of acting, from (he melodramatic climaxes to the keener and more subtle readings, which was taken full advantage of by the star and her able assistants. Against these theories of the officials are the signals. The semaphores are automatic in action. They are sn arranged that should I here be a break in the rails, the electric current is interfered with, and the signals immediately set for danger. The engineer, however, is positive that the signals gave him a clear track. Commander Secures Prom- ise/Of Ships' Safeguard.

Thaw is today a helpless lunatic. Seven alienists for the defense presumably Stand ready lo swear that his present condition comes within the leg.il scope of competency to advise with his counsel on the merits of the case. The first road mentioned is in horrible condition a large part of the year and at times is practically impassible. A week ago the commissioners and judges made a trip over it and the large automobile they occupied ua.s stuck several times. The roads are at present under the jurisdiction of the townships through which tbojr run and the townships are supposed to keep them in repair. The legal move in view is to have the grand jury condemn the roads then have the county macadamize them and take full charge of keeping them Washington, March, liluejackets and murines have been landed from the I'nited States gunboat Marietta at Trujillo and Ceilta and probably at Puerto forte/.

Chicago. March 22. The Standard} Oil company in its trial bpforp Judge Land is on a charge of accepting rebates from the Chicago and Alton rail way met with defeat on nearly every point. Killings of the court balked the efforts of the company's attorneys to bar technical evidence, on which the government's case is principally based. The navy department feels that th« action taken by Commander Fvillaiii brings the situation completely in hand so far as the safeguarding of trade in terests is concerned. In addition to the protection given to Americans it is Celt that the action of this government will relieve foreign governments of the necessity of taking any steps toward making a naval demonstration. That any of the defense's experts would co so far as to swear that Harry Thaw is now sane is highly improbable. It is no secret that they all believe him to be of unsound mind. The careful avoidance by counsel for ttlie defense of any questions to their own experts tending to show the present condition of the defendant is significant ill this respect. Concerning the upper end of the road the engineers who made the survey and later reported to the county commissioners spoke as follows: i 11 repa i r The count and a fashionably dressed woman were sitting in the restaurant when Hines entered, walking directly up to the count he drew a revolver and tired Ave shots into the Russian's body.
