Istered 41.2 feet in the canal and had
been stationary for two hours. This
together with a cold wave which was
due Tuesday night, warrant the as
sertion that the danger of further serf,
cus damage Is over.
Tho river rose steadily all night at
the rate of an Inch an hour, and the
stage at 10 o'clock, when the crest
was reached, was about 5 feet lower
than the great flood of 1884.
The canal Is Invisible, and all the
locks are under water. Below the
locks, where there Is a depth of 08
feet of water, the river is several
miles wide and Is carrying southward
a vast amount of small buildings,
logs and other debris.

Harry K. Thaw, for killing Stanford
White began Wednesday before Jus-
tlee Fitzgerald in the criminal branch
of the supreme court. Two huudred
lalesmen have been summoned, and
from them a jury Ik to be selected. It
is expected that It will take at least
n week to till the.Jury box.
The selection of the Jury , will lp>
one of the. Important features of the
•ase, and during the examination of
the talesmen. It hi expected that the
line of defense will, in a measure,
he indicated.
Criminal lawyers generally have
taken nn Interest In the case, and It
Is their opinion that the "unwritten
law” and epiotional Insanity will play
large part In the efforts of Thaw's
lawyers to obtain freedom for their
client. This being so, It Is expected
that Thaw’s counsel will endeavor
obtain only such Jurymen as would
bo influenced by the pleas Indicated
Thaw is said to have been studying
up rulmimil trials during tjSe
few days. It is uuderstoond that
intends to take a very active part
the ((‘lection of The Jury. He in
tends to see. It is said, that no Juror
Is selected unless It is with his ap
proval.
Thaw will tie seated beside
counsel, at the hrni^ or which will

Mr. Jerome will cross-examine tho

Of Thaw's family, there will ho
court his mol her, tils wife, his i/r
sisters, Mrs. Carnegie und the Conn
toss of Yarmouth, and his brother
Edward. The Thaws will occupy
seats directly behind the defendant
here will be no room for outsiders
certainly not while the Jury Is being
selected.
Great preparations have been made
for covering the Thaw trial. A tel
cgrapli company has strung wires into
the court house and a telegraph office
has been erected temporarily on the
main flooor.
Many out-of-town newspapers will
have reporters at the trial and oven

at tho hands of Harry K. Thaw, tho
son of one of A merlca’s rich men.
Scenes approaching absolute dls
order attended the opening or the
trial. Most of the clashes were be-
tiween reporter* and correspondents,
nnd the police. Of the newspaper
men. there were perhaps'200 nnd
there was a policeman for each. The
great squad of blue-coats was com
manded by a police inspector. Only
about 50 newspaper writers finally
were admitted, the ramlnder of space
In the court room being reserved for
the 200 talesmen summoned on the
special Jury panel.
