Mr. Aiken when seen for the

ion that he had a policy of $5,000 on
the crossties In the warehouse
but upon examination finds that Uie
otal insurance on the contents of the

is explained by Mr. Aiken iu that he

The damage to ti e schooner Eagle

Prosecution Seems to Have Deen
Sorely Walloped by the De
fense. The Proce^ugs
New York, March 11.— lihtney Del
.nas today again showe<| hi Arndt to
■e a master of tho j:r: ;.ico of law,
when Iu a long legal tilt with Jerome
a the Thaw case, which was resumed
- - the usual hour before Justice Fitz
gerald, the question of the right of
ine testimony of Evelyn Thaw to be
admitted to the jury • was again
brought into question C:y the district
ittorney. In short the court finally
ruled that, all of the testimony of tha
ile of Harry Thaw was to stand and
was to go before the jury for just
what that body thought it was worth.
The gifted attorney from the Golden
Gale also gained a point over tha
district attorney when he had the
affidavit of Abe Hummell stricken
from the records.
Mr. Jerome finally placed Longfel
low. the personal attorney of Harry
Thaw on the stand who proved to
he a pretty good witness for the de
l-use. Asa last resort Mr. Jerome
attempted to have Ethel Thomas, the
actress, who has a strong hatred for
both Thaw" and "hia witfcf take the,
stand, but in this lie failed to score,
as tlio court, after hearing from both
t den, refused to permit )ur ; .timoriy
ti go to the jury.
While the-proc tidings today were of
i rather a technical nature it. is plain
that t.li defense has made inroads in
the case of the prosecution.
It in now fully developed that Jer
ome has abandoned his Idea of a lun
i ■>' commission for Thaw and is new
buildlug up a'i the powerful influences
of the dishict attorney's office to
convict Thaw. *
SOUTHERN RAILWAY
TO CUT THE NUMBER
OF PASSENSER TRAINS
Hard to Understand How it Can Han
dle Increasing Buriness.
The following front the Constitution
of yesterday will ho of interest in
Brunswick as this city is in the At
lunta-Brunsv, iek division of the South
ern railway:
“Arrangements are being made for
the dropping off of a number of p&s
senger trains on the Southern rail
way on March 24, and those in pool
lion to know state that these plans,
will affect Urn Atlanta division par
liculaily. Except for the information
that a number of passenger trains
were to bo (tit off, uone of the ds
tails could ho learned.
. “The cuL'ng down of expenses is
given as the rcaooa for the contend
plated cut. So far as the service is
concerned if. is a matter of genuine
knowledge that to heavy lias bean
the passenger traffic lately that the
present number of trains has roaily
been inadequate tor the handling of
the busin ss. For tUU reason It is
a difllcul jiroblt rn to understand just
how tho Southern railway will be
able to still handle its present pas
senger business with even fewer
trains than they now operate, espec
ially in face of the fact that the pas
senger business i3 constantly growing.
“No reasons have been given for
the cutting down of the expenses, but
in Atlanta railroad circles when the
coming cut, March 21 is being dis
cussed, it is generally believed that
i ars on the part of the railroad exe
cutives regarding coming legislation
in the legislature Is principally re
sponsible for the. curtailment of pas
senger trains.
"It Is the opinion of several pas
senger men that the railroad means
to put the public on notice that any
drastic legislation will be met with
curtailing tho present service and
equipment, which is being provided.'!
