Said to Have Violated Rules of the B. 0. Signal Service. W. A.

Mooie and A. M. Matthews, telegraph operators, have been discharged from the" service of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad because. It Is claimed, their evidence at the recent coroner's InqueSt to determine the responsibility for the Terra Cotta wreck, indicated serious derelictions In their conduct of the signal service of the road. The testimony of the two men at the Inrfuest threw an Interesting light on the lack of co-operation in following the iron-clad rules of the block system.

Matthews, the operator at Randolph, Md. in nis testimony concerning the alleged incompetency of Operator admitted that he had left his post fifteen minutes ahed of time without report-' insr the fact to the next operator. Henry E. Davis, who represented certain of the railroad men at the coroner's Inquest, said yesterday that the operators were discnarged because of admitted delinquencies, the Baltimore and Ohio assuming that such offenses might be repeated if tne men were retained In the sen Ice "Matthews testified against Dutrow," said Mr, Davis, "and In doing so confessed that he had left his block fifteen minutes before the end of Ills watch, without giving any notice of his going. As to Moore, he testified -against Dutrow's competency.

Knowing of it, and not malting a repcfrt of it to his superiors, and thus hazarding human life, was an admission of dereliction on his part that cannot be justified. "It -was not the testimony they gave against others," concluded 3li Davis, "but the confession of their own shortcomings that worked their discharge." DR.

A story is told of one family, consisting of mother, father, and two children. The mother left home on a search for food. While she was away, the father, despairing of aid, threw both ehlldien into the river. The mother returned, and learning what had happened, threw herself into the river and dro-wned. The Brief-stricken father followed, and thus the whole family perished.

The government is selling grain ind salt where It can. At some of the places tne public selling places had to be closed because of the great rush of natives to buy In Hsuchoufu, In December, three or four women were crushed to death In the mad rush for food The price of vegetables has doubled and coal and coke cost more than ever before. The National American Red Cross yesterday cabled $5,000 additional to China for the relief of the sufferers from the famine. This is part of the fund raised by the Christian Herald.

CONTINUED FROM FIRST FACE. moned and would be present to-morrow at 10:30 o'clock. 263 Talesmen Examined. The court officers were of the opinion that excellent progress rtad been made toward filling the Jury Up to the present time 363 talesmen have been examined, fourteen of them accepted for the Jurors and three of those accepted have been excused. The prosecution has exhausted seventeen of its thirty peremptory challenges while the defense has used up the mystic total of twenty-three.

Harry Thaw has conferences with his counsel over the acceptance of jurors and several tatlesmen were peremptorily challenged to-day apparently on his insistence. The Impression deepens In the courtroom that Thaw's counsel have determined to "take the lid off" in an effort to rake up everything in Thaw's past life to show that he was capable of outbursts of rage which Incapacitated him for the time being of knowing what he was about. It Is also believed that same policy will be consistently followed to show that his shooting of Stanford White was caused by such burst of rage, caused by the, receipt of Information persuading him that he was Justified in the utmost Jeblousy of White. The defense will contend, it Is maintained, that such testimony is valid as showing Thaw's belief and Its effect on him, no matter whether the Information he received about his wife's relations with White was correct or not. In this same line, the testimony of the defendant's wife is expected to have great weight.

Jerome's Possible Course. There is much speculation as to- what csurse Mr. Jerome will pursue when Tfiaw's counsel begin to develop a plea of temporary insanity. He is prepared, to combat their alienists, but there is a possibility that he may bring the proceedings to an abrupt halt and apply for the appointment of a commission to decide, whether or not the defendant Is Insane at the present time. Or He may let the matter be fought out in open couit, expert for expert.

In that event, the trial will drag out to a great length. Neither Mrs. Thaw, the prisoner's mother, nor his sister, fche Countess of Yarmouth, was present at either of today's court sessions. for the defense stated that the snowstorm made It inadvisable for the countess to risk her health, and that Mrs. Thaw had remained away to be with her daughter.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was present, as she has been at everyses- slon of court since the trial began. With her, too, was the never failing MayMc- Kenzie. Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, the prisoner's other sister, came in with her brother, Edward Thaw, and stayed the entire day. At the noon recess Mrs.

Thaw and Miss McKenzie had a brief talk with the defendant In the prison pen. Thaw lias had to worry along with only four lawyers again to-day, Mr. Delmas, the champion of the Pacific Slope, being again absent with his friend, Mr. McPlke. Mr.

Delmas still has a cold, and as he regards his voice as one of his-principal assets in this case, he is taking all possible precautions not to lose It Several of the talesmen called In the morning were excused because they told Mr. Hartridge they thought confinement jurors would worry them, because It detained them from their busl- is. The of these was Newman Montrose, of 666 Fifth a dealer artists' materials. Joshua 'j Both, who Is In the same business, said he once knew Stanfoid White. He suited the prosecution, but the defense peremptorily challenged him.

Various Objections Made. Thaw himself was responsible for, the rejection of Philip A. Messer, a retired flour merchant, of 560 West 185th street. He had served before in criminal cases. A Nan Patterson Juror was called soon after that He was George McCaffrey, a Bronx real estate dealer, and was excused by consent of both sides.

Then came Mr. Brearley. who was the youngest Dalesman examined at the morn- Ing session. He admitted that he had formed a strong opinion on the merits of the case, but at length decided he could lay It aside If he became a juror. He would give the prisoner the benefit ot every reasonable doubt.

Mr. Gleason examined him closely and kept referring to the "true facts" of the case, whatever they are. Justice'Fitzger- ald took a hand in the examination of this talesman and when he had finished both sides accepted him. He was sworn in at once and was assigned to the seat THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Costs Nothing to Try. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize Ha value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of it the better: It Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking, or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion.

It whitens the teeth, and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic, It absorbs Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or, rather. In the form of large, pleasant tasting longes. the charcoal being mixed with honey. The flally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use.

but, on the contrary, sreat benefit. A Buffalo physician, In speaking of the benefits ot charcoal, aays: "I advise St'i- art's Charcoal Lozenges to an patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear complexion ana purity the breath, mouth, and throat; also believe the liver Is greatly beneflted by the dally use of them; they coat but twenty-flve cents a box at drug stores, and although In sonje sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."

Then followed a talesman, who had known Mr. White and another who had formed no opinion, though he had read all the newspapers. "Why didn't you form an opinion?" ked Mr. Gleason. "Because I couldn't," said the tales- man, and everybody grinned.

He was excused, all the same. Afternoon Proceedings. The talesmen -were disposed of rapidly at the afternoon session, at which Mr. Justice Phippen, of the Conrt of Appeals, of Manitoba, Canada, occupied a seat beside Justice Fitzgerald. It took a long time, though, to excuse Henry W.

J. Telfalr, an insurance em- ploye, who lives at 215 West 103d street tie said he knew Delancey Nicoll, and If Mr. Nicoll were a witness be would give special 'weight to what he said, He salted Mr. Jerome, but Mr. Hartridge challenged him peremptorily.

Horace Moran, a designer, of 518 East 182d street, had known Mr. White. George P. Hammond was the father of a man r. Jerome knew.

Charles L. Anderson, of 452 West Twen- street, was the most picturesque Lalesman of the afternoon. He la about sixty-five years old; wears a patriarchal iieard, and resembles pictures of Henry Wadsnorth Longfellow. He said he was an old soldier and was used to taking the orders of his superiors, so he would accept the law from the court. He was excused by consent of both sides, Mr.

Anderson said that he used to be secretary of a company formed to build a canal across Florida. Henry I. Klelnberger was.speedily accepted by both sides. Mr. Jerome asked film if he had talked the case over with his wife.

He replied tnat he had, but that she had expressed no opinion on the merits of the case. He was one of the few who had no opinion as to Thaw's Innocence or guilt. Insanity, he knew little of such matters After a long conference between Thaw and his counsel he was accepted and sworn. Whipple Had Convictions. Then Edward A.

Whipple bounced Into the witness chair. He manages an electrical company, and you bet he manages it, too. He lives at 640 West End avenue, and does not care who knows It. "Are you opposed to the infliction of the death penalty In capital cases?" asked Mr. Garvan.

"I am, sir," shouted Mr. Whipple, turning on the high-speed clutch with a rush. "I am unalterably opposed to the "Say yes, or no, sir," interrupted Mr. promptly. "Excused," said Justice Fitzgerald, and Mr.

Whipple bolted from the room as if pursued by all the Furies. Stephen C. Odell, of 46 West 100th street, runs a livery stable at Sixty- fifth street and West End avenue, looked good for the last seat in the box until he admitted he had done business wtth Abe Hummel. That fixed him. There was little more of interest until Walter A.

Spellman, a retired real estate dealer, of 103 West Eighty-eighth street, was reached. "You have read about this case, I suppose?" said Mr. Garvan. "Well, not much until last night," said Mr. Spellman.

It was a trying day for the pity patrol, and thejr may well be pardoned, if, by o'clock, they had descended to speculating on the effect of Evelyn Thaw's turn-down collar on judge and jury. At a late hour Gen. Peters was reported as exhausted, but still game, and just upon a disquisition upon the perils of the path of gold that leadeth to destruction. DISMISSALS UNEXPLAINED. Mr.

Spellman looked he was excused. Wild Rumor Not Credited. There was a wild story going the rounds of the Criminal Courts building to-day to the effect that there was a fund of $100,009 for use in corrupting a juror. It was given no credence whatever in any responsible quarter. It was also stated that the talesmen who are yet to be examined are under the surveillance of county detectives, but this not be verified.

Thaw was restless most of last night, and to-day he said he was greatly disappointed that the jury had not been completed yesterday. He is eager for the taking of testimony to begin and especially so foi the testimony of witnesses in his own behalf. Thaw was much annoyed by the excusing of Falre, the broker who had made a good impression on him. By advice of his counsel refrained to-day from reding any of the newspaper articles giving explanations of Falre's removal from the Jury, and accepted, his counsel's explanation that considerations of the health of the two jurors caused them to be excused. BAR ARTISTS FEOM COUBT.

Certain Sketches at Thaw Trial Said to Have Given Offense. Special to The Washington Pogt New York. Jan. the doors of the court in which Harry Thaw 13 being tried opened to-day, there was a terrible flutter among the sketch-as-sketch-can contingent. For several days they have been drawing pictures of the judges, the jurors, the talesmen, counsel for both sides, the defendant, the defendant's relatives, the court clerk, the court attendants, the prison guards, and the court spittoons.

All the regular, newspaper Illustrators were worked out the two days, and since then the edition-every-mmute papers have been scraping the town with fine-tooth combs to find artists of larger reputation who would line up in front of Evelyn Nes- blt Thaw as close as they could get and draw more pictures of her every time she wore a different veil. It Is odd what a difference a veil makes in a young Oman's appearance. Harry Thaw himself did not seem to mind the sketchers very much, but it was obviously most annoying to his female lelatives. However, it might possibly have been continued had It not been for the funny men ot the sketchers. On Monday one of the most laughable of these jokesmiths was persuaded to leave the money devil and the lemon club Iqpg enough to run down to the Criminal qourt building arid make a few ludicrous drawings of the principal figures In the case wherewith to adorn the front page I hat same evening.

Obviously a trial In which a roan's life was at stake was too good an opening for humor to be neglected. Either the work of this jokester or some criticism directed against It was probably the last straw. At all events, when the sketchers arrived to-day with their freshly-sharpened pencils in their pockets and their drawing-boards under their arms, they were Informed by the court attendants that there was nothing doing. Some of them departed meekly depressed, others went away with bitter complaints, while others stayed to get a. few memory hints, hoping that they could go away and draw from recollection just as good pictures as they had previously drawn from observation.

This seems to be a not too extreme hope. So the sketch-as-sketch-can crowd followed the photographers into outer darkness and there was more or less wailing and gnashing of pen points. There was some talk of an appeal, but it Is sate to say that Justice Fitzgerald will continue to do what he caji to keep the sketchera from making newspaper work disreputable. I When the members of the pity patrol saw their allies thus summarily, suppressed they were much downcast, and it surely did seem for a time that therms would be a pretty poor crop of pathos raised to-day, but just as things were looking darkest cheers were heard in the distance, and Gen. the Rev.

Madison C. Peters, was seen galloping over the field mounted on a spirited typewriter. Gen. Peters soon rallied his faltering forces around their fallen standard, and in a few moments the scratching of many pencils announced the fact that tbe pathos Other Jurors Bliss Faire, One of the Two Hen Dropped.
