Increased Rates on Grain Train Went Over Embankment John Alexander Dowle's Funeral Telephone Merger Stayed -- Perkins Pays Back Insur ance Money Adams Jury Disagreed. Court proceedings Friday occupied less than Ave minutes and District At torney Jerome returned at once to his office and began preparing for his re buttal testimony. Almost his first move was to have a subpoena served upon Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw requir ing her to produce In court any letters she may have In her possession writ ten by Stanford White. District Attorney Jerome doubtless will again summon Abraham Hummel to the Bland to testify as to the affida vits Evelyn Nesbit is alleged to have signed, changing Thaw with cruelties because she "would not tell lies" about Stanford White. The prosecutor at tempted to Introduce this testimony by interrupting young Mrs. Thaw's narra tive, but the testimony was barred at that time. Mr. Jerome believes that upon rebuttal Justice Fitzgerald will allow him a much wider latitude than was granted on cross-examination. Howard Nesbit was with the dis trict attorney on Friday and It is said that he will be called to the stand to testify that his sister told him Thaw treated her cruelly while she was abroad In 1901! because she again "would not tell lies about Stanford White." Mr. Jerome hopes that through the brother he can corrobor ate the testimony he expects to elicit from Abraham Hummel, 'the latter be ing under Indictment at the present time for alleged subornation of per iury iii the Dodge-Morse divorce case. . Despite Mr. Jerome's hope for a ter mination of this long-drawn-out case within the next week, few of those who have kept track of the trial are willing to hazard a prediction that the end is less than two weeks away. Many rumors were current of a ser .oii8 estrangement between the de fendant's family and his wife, and of the reported desire of the former to bring about a separation of the young couple In the event of a verdict ac quitting Thaw of the charge of mur der. It has also been a matter of com ment that Inasmuch as two experts have declared Thaw was insane tit the time of his marriage, the cere mony might be declared void anl annulled. Under such circumstances the will and codicil, in which Mrs. Thaw Is left the main portion of her husband's estate, would also be void Increased Grain Rates. Announcement was made by the Pennsylvania Railroad company of the new rates on lake grain shipments which will become effective with the opening of navigation April 15. The rates agreed upon, which will go Into effect at Buffalo April 15, are as follows: To New York. Old. New. Wheat '. 5 5V4 Rye 5 5V4 Flax 5 6 Corn 4 4 Barley 4 4 Oats 3 ft 3 To Philadelphia. Old. New. Wheat 4.7 5.2 Flaxseed 4.7 5.2 Rye ' 4.7 4.95 Corn 4.2 4.55 Barley 4.3 4.55 Oats 3.3 3.55 The trunk line traffic officials have not arranged the commodity freight rates, but the rates on manufactured Iron have been increased about 30 cents per ton. The minimum rate in classified freight, it is announced, will be changed so as to increase the weight of carloads from 30,000 to 40, 000. Train Went Over Embankment. Train No. 33 oa the Western New York & Pennsylvania division of the Pennsylvania railroad was wrecked on Wednesday night between Irvlneton and Warren, Pa. The train plunged over a 25-foot embankment and nine persons were Injured, none fatally. The train was running behind a freight from Irvlneton to Warren and when three-quarters of a mile from Warren the freight ran onto a siding to allow the passenger train to pass. After the freight was on the siding the passenger started through the switch, which is set from a tower about a quarter of a mile away. The switch was not entirely closed and two cars were thrown from the rails and down an embankment into a pond. Near the railroad track runs a pipe line of the Pennsylvania Gas company, carrying 200 pounds pressure. This line was broken and the coaches filled with natural gas. There were four passengers in the rear coach which turned completely over and they nar rowly escaped suffocation by gas fumes. Had the lamps In the coaches been lighted an explosion would have taken place. Telephone Merger Stayed. That a contract was entered into be tween the United States Independent Telephone Co. of Rochester and the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. whereby the stock and securities of the former were to be transferred to the latter; that the New Jersey Trust company was the authorized agent of the so-called Bell Telephone company to conduct the negotiations, and that the transfer would have been oonsum matsd lata In February had it nol been stopped by the injunction pro ceedlngs begun by Attorney Genera! JackBon, were among the disclosures at the hearing before Joseph A Law son Albany. The investigation is for the pur pose of ascertaining whether the pro posed transfer of stock would be in violation of the anti-trust law of thlt state. A copy of the contract of sale was admitted in evidence. Adjournment was taken until March 18 at the office of the attorney gen son of Albany. Funeral of Deposed Leader.

Dur ing Tuesday and Wednesday the body will lie in state in the reception hall of Shlloh house, the Dowie residence.

Mr. Jerome Greatly Hampered by Rules of Evidence. District Attorney Tried to Show by Dr. Rudolph Witthaus That There Is No Poison Known to Science That Would Cause the Effects Described In Mrs. Thaw's Evidence. New York, March 12. On the first day of the state's rebuttal in the trial of Harry K. Thaw District Attorney Jerome came to a temporary stand still against the practically solid wall he rules of evidence have built around the story of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. Mr. Jerome began to attack this story as soon as court opened. There ensued a well-nigh incessant fight between the prosecutor and Del phln M. Delmns, leading counsel for the defense, at the end of which Jus tice Fitzgerald upheld the rule laid down at the beginning of the trial that young Mrs. Thaw's story is admis sible only as tending to show the ef fect it might have had In unbalancing the defendant's mind and that its truth or falsity is immaterial. Mr. Jerome tried to avoid this rule by declaring that he was endeavoring merely to show by Inference, by cir cumstantial evidence as to details of the story, that Mrs. Thaw could not possibly have told the story to her husband. Although he will doubtless be blocked by the same rule when the time comes, it is said that he may at tempt in the Bame way to prove an allb for Stanford White on the night he is alleged to have maltreated young Miss Nesbit. Nine-tenths of the day's sessions were spent in arguments and in nearly every instance Mr. Delmas won his point as to the law, while Mr. Jerome in the arguments got before the Jury a knowledge of what his witnesses would have testified to had they been permitted. The district attorney call ed 10 witnesses during the day, but aside from obtaining from the state's eye-witnesses to the tragedy the opin ions that Thaw seemed rational the night he shot and killed Stanford White, little real headway was made. Ethel Thomas' Suit Against Thaw. Lining up all his forces in rebuttal, Mr. Jerome decided to open his fight upon the defense by attacking the story told the jury by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. He called to the stand Freder ick Longfellow and asked him first about the case in which Ethel Thomas is alleged to have sued Thaw for dam ages because of crueltreatnient. Mr. Delmas objected to questions along this line under the professional privi lege of lawyer and client, but before Justice Fitzgerald sustained the ob jection and ruled out the evidence, Mr. Jerome declared: "The story of the girl tied to the bedpost and whipped by Thaw is the story of Ethel Thomas. This poor girl is now dead." Here Mr. Delmas In terposed an objection to the district at torney's remarks and the latter began an attack along different line. He showed Mr. Longfellow the pho tographic copy of the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit is said to have signed in the of fice of Abraham Hummel alleging that Thaw treated her cruelly while abroad in 1903 because she "would not tell lies against Stanford White." Mr. Jerome followed this up by asking the witness if Mrs. Thaw did not turn over to him certain papers to which she had subscribed. Mr. Longfellow said she had. There was a long contro versy between Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delmas, at the conclusion of which Mr. Longfellow brought his entire exam ination to naught by declaring that Mrs. Thaw never showed him a paper similar In any way to the Hummel affi davit. He thereupon was excused without cross-examination. Police officers who saw Thaw the night of the tragedy declared he acted rationally. "More Rational Than Irrational." Captain Hodglns of the "Tender loin" precinct qualified his answer to the question by saying only that "for a man who had just committed mur der, Thaw acted rationally." This was stricken out and he then said: "Well, his eyes had a stare and a gaze such as they show as I now look at them." This answer also was stricken tut and finally the captain declared: "Well, he seemed more rational than irrational and that's the best answer I can give you." Many of the witnesses called by the state during the presentation of the case in chief were recalled. All de clared Thaw seemed to them to be ra tional. During the afternoon recess Mr. Jer ome sprung something of a sensation by calling to the stand Dr. Rudolph Witthaus, a chemist and expert In poisons. The district attorney framed a hypothetical question covering Eve lyn Nesbit's description of her night with Stanford White in the 24th street studio house and asked If there was any known poison which would cause insensibility in two minutes and per mit the quick recovery testified to by Thaw's wife. Around this vital point, which wound up means by which the prosecutor could attack the truth or falsity of Mrs. Thaw's story, argument raged for an hour or more. Mr. Jerome pleaded wi h Justice Fitzgerald at great length. Mr. Jerome Insisted that he was not attacking the truth of the story. He W8 3 calling for an expert opinion, he bsi erted, to the effect that no known drug would produce the effect testified to by Mrs. Thaw. MATERIAL EVIDENCE OF SOUL. Physicians Claim to Have Demonstrat ed Its Existence. Boston, March 12. His curiosity aroused while present at the bedside of dying patients, Dr. Duncan Mac dougall of Haverhill, Mass., aided by four physicians of high professional standing, has been for the past six years In a private Banitarlum near Bos ton, conducting experiments to discov er the existence or non-existence of a "soul" In the human body. As concrete results, It Is claimed the mysterious human soul has at last been catalogued upon scientific princi ples, just as is the heart and all vital organs of the body, as an actual, ma terial thing; that when this soul flits' from the body it diminishes the weight of the body by a certain measur able amount, and that this amount can be weighed In actual pounds or frac tions of pounds. The difference between the weight of the live human body and the body a moment after death, or when the soul has quitted it, was found to he from one-half ounce to one ounce; and to this, it Is said, there can be no other possible solution except that it is the weight of the human soul. In every case the loss was shown after all known scientific deductions, such as the loss of air, of moisture and of all excretions and secretions of the body, has been taken into considera tion. The method of finding this result was to place the dying patient in bed upon one of the platforms of a pair of scales made expressly for the experi ments, with an equal weight In the op posite platform. These scales were so delicately con structed as to be sensitive to a weight of less than one-tenth of an ounce. In every case when the soul was set free by death the platform opposite the one in which lay the subject of the test foil suddenly just as naturally would have happened If a weight had been taken from the opposing bal ance. The figures on the dial Index indicated the diminution in weight. Fined For Selling Diseased Meat. Burlington, Vt., March 12. The Consolidated Rendering company, which owns and operates the Burling ton Rendering company's plant here, pleaded guilty In the Chittenden coun ty court to four indictments charging it with selling and having in its pos session diseased meat. It was fined a total of $3,000 costs. The Indictments contained 400 counts, to 34 of which the company pleaded guilty.

First one nostril and then the other should be blown without undue vio lence. Doctors state that the two nasal passages should never lie closed at the same time. If they are obstructed, as In the case of a cold, the back of the throat is filled with compressed air, and this, together with the discharge ami the microbes which it contains, may be driven through the eustnchlal tube into the middle ear and lend to serious resirfts. A great authority on the subject used to forbid his patients to blow their noses when suffering from a cold. The eourse Is hardly one which will commend Itself to those In the habit of catching colds. The best advice would seem to be that when It Is necessary to blow the nose the blowing should be done gently. London Mall. lllntory if the Typewriter.
