Thaw, for the killing of {Stanford White that a jury will not be secured before the middle or latter part of next week. There were but three sworn jurors in the box when court convened at 10.4;> A. M. and they represented the net proceeds of the first two panels of 10t> talesmen each. The third and last pan el of the 300 originally summoned re ported Wednesday morning and there wa« no thought that it would furnish ail of the material needed to complete the trial 13. As a result the court ordered that 200 additional talesmen be summoned to report Thursday and Friday. The first batch of talesmen were quickly disposed of as every man had j too fixed an opinion to serve as a fair juror, until John 11. Holburt, a rather j elderly man and president of a spring j water company was reached. Mr. Hoi- hurt said he had formed something of an opinion but he could lay it aside. He was closely questioned by District At torney Jerome and Mr. Littleton for the defence but was finally accepted and took chair No. 8. John Kntwistle, a builder, was the next talesman to be accepted as a tem porary juror and was assigned to chair No. 9. The defence used its sixth peremptory challenge ill preventing J. Holmes liutler, a business man, from taking a place even on the temporary panel. He was the 20th talesman examined at the morning session. In all 29 talesmen were called at tlie morning session and only two tenta tive jurors secured from the lot. Within 20 minutes after the afternoon session began another tentative Juror had been secured in David E. Arrow srnltli. manager of a carpet cleaning es tablishment. Mr. Arrow-smith is u man of clean cut features and seemed to pass an Ideal examination. It fell to the lot of Clarence E. Ander son, a real estate broker, finally to he chosen No. 11. .Mr. Anderson said he had rend very little of the first trial and he had no opinion whatsoever. As to the lnws of Insanity lie assured the counsel of both sides that lie would accept with out question the instruction of the court. After llubbell. an insurance actuary, was chosen as the temporary occupant of chair No. 12. the exercise of peremp tory challenges again was in order. The opposing attorneys were granted 10 min utes for consultation. When the lawyers were ready to pro ceed District Attorney Jerome announced that Juror Anderson would be excluded by consent and peremptorily challenged j Juror Maglnn and Juror Cranston. The defence challenged Jurors Oreenbaum. Entwistle and Huhbell. J The winnowing of the jury list left [three new actual jurors available: Messrs. I Rupprecht, a salesman; llolbert. head of 1 a spring water company, and Arrow smith, manager of a business house. With Thaw standing and facing them the three j men took the* oatli of service, making six tin all sworn on the trial panel. The attorneys at once set about filling i the empty chairs again. 1 It was mote than an hour afterwardt; that the first of the new provisional lttrors was ernianent and three temporary jurors in the box. Ad journment then was taken until tomor row morning at 10.13 o'clock. Coulon Is Champ Peoria, 111., Jan. 8.—John Coulon of Chicago tonight won the decision over "Kid" Murphy of New York, in the 10th round of a fight for the bantamweight championship. The tight was fast. It was a mix-up from the start to finish. Coulon took j the h ad In tile second and maintained the advantage throughout the remain ing rounds. A stiff jab to the face was Coulon's favorite blow throughout. Coulon stepped from the ring without a j scratch, while Murphy was a much punished boy. The decision was ap plauded by the 3000 spectators. I I John E. Lynch, principal of the new Wood land street school.

The Leonora registered 411 tons net and was formerly a whaling brig, hailing from N>«' Bedford. Mass. Her present home port is New London, Ct. She was built at Columbia Falis, Me., in 1874. She was M6.5 feet long, 30.0 feet beam and ld.l feet deep. The Leonora had seven men on board. The schooner is owned by the Gilbert Transportation Co. at New Haven, Ct. OWNERS DOUBT IT. Think That Lost Vessel Is Not Their Schooner Leonora. Mystic, Ct., Jan. 8.—The Gilbert Trans portation Co. does not think the schooner lost off Diamond Shoals is the Leonora, owned by the company, although possibly it may be. There are several Maine schooners bound for Charleston. hl't the Leonora should have been further south of Hatteras; in fact, her arrival at Charleston is now due. The Leonora is In command of Capt. Gilchrist. The Gilbert Co. also states that the mate of the Leonora is named Reed and of the crew two are Norwegians and three Portuguese, two being shipped at Portland and three at Providence. The company’s advices are that there are several schooners hound south laden with fish scrap and two or three places along Long Island sound and Promised Land have been shipping this kind of cargo. TUGS SENT OUT To Search for the Barge Treverton Lost by Her Tug. Providence. It. 1., Jan. 8.—The tugs Swatara, Tarn.aqua and Lykens, of the Reading Railroad, left here tonight in search for tile barge Treverton, which broke away from the Lykens during last night's gale. The Treverton is a four-rnasted steel barge and has a crew of six men. It is supposed that she is adrift under sail. The tug Lykens left New Bedford foi Philadelphia yesterday afternoon with the barges Treverton and Hern don in tow. When off the eastern end of Long Island one of the hawsers parted and both barges went adrift. The tug remained in the vicinity all night and today went in search of the barges. The Herndon was found under sail going toward Newport, but nothing was seen of the Treverton. Late this a/terunn the Lykens brought the Hern don to Saundcrslown and after notify ing the captains of the other tugs started out in search of the missing barge. It is thought possible that a four masted barge which was reported to day as passing Block Island on the way to Newport is the missing Trever ton. The barge was under sail, but was making slow progress. Block Island, R. I., Jan.—A four masted barge, whose name couid not be ascertained, but which was thought to have been a part of a tow which was off here yesterday behind a Read ing Railroad tug, passed in at 10A. M. today under her own sail having evi dently broken away from the rest of the tow. At noon the barge was mak ing fair progress in the direction of Newport, hut there were no signs of the rest of the tow. HEAVY DAMAGE Around Digby, N. S., in Worst Gale Since Saxby Gale of 1870. Digby, N. K., Jan. 8.—Not since the great Saxby gale of Oct. 14, 1870, has Digby experienced such a storm as raged here last night and today, when the wind blew from 60 tod 70 miles an hour, causing a ter rific sea and tide in the Bay of Fundy. Reports from all along the coast tell of terrible havoc wrought by the storm and the loss, through which the de struction of fishing gear and boats will amount to thousands of dollars. Houses were unroofed in many sec tions, pleasure yachts torn from their moorings, thousands of lobster traps and small fishing smacks were carried to sea, and fishing stages completely destroyed. At Iverton the tide reached the main street, and swept small boats and wreckage into the fields, and the main I street of Digby is filled with logs and driftwood. The loss to the lobster fishermen at this season of the year will he severely felt.

Portland, Me., Jan. 8.—Bartley Con nolly of Portland had the better of Belfield Walcott of Boston in a six round bout at the Pastime Athletic Club here Tuesday night. The Poston man did not hit an effec tive Mow in the six rounds. Connolly, with Ins longer reach, kept him at a distance while he pounded Walcott’s head vith his right. Connolly began the lil'ih with a smashing right to Wal cott's head, which spun the Boston man around and followed this with a hard right to the stomach, which distressed Walcott. Unable to land a swing or reach Connolly with a lead, Walcott clinched and tried to send lett and right jolts to the jaw. Most of these were blocked. The referee stopped the first preliminary betwoiu,> j their eagerness to tight him. This is what Tommy lias to say: "Before Kelly and Papke met in Mil waukee their daily stunt was to an nounce their willingness to fight me for my middleweight title. I started j training and am still getting myself i in shape for such a fight and I am more than pleased to know that some of the tight fans are willing to con- i cede Kelly or Papke a chance with j me. "My honest opinion of them is that j they are a pair of dub fighters. Judg-; ing from their extreme quietness, their last tight convinced, them that it would mean pugilistic suicide to take a chance with me.”
