JER0ME'S DETECTIVE
CHARGED WITH PERJURY.

New York, Nov. 22.-Joseph Jacobs,
detective of District Attorney Je-
rome's staff, who secured the evidence
against Richard A. Garfield, was ar
rested to-day by order of District At
torney Jerome on a charge of perjury.
He was held in $4,000 bail and COM
mitted to the Tombs in default Of bail.
The arrest was based on a confession
he made to Philip J. Britt and Gen.
Benjamin f. Tracy. who are associat-
ed as counsel for Garfield and his al
legged manager, David Bucklin. Mr.
Jerome says Jacobs asked them that
as the price of his confession he be
supplied with sufficient funds by Can
field to take him out of the jurisdiction
of the courts. After being arraigned
he made a fuller confession to Mr.. Je-
rome.
All that Mr.. Jerome would say about
the confession is that he (Jacobs) con-
fesses that he lied, when he said that
he had been i'm Canfieid's house, that
he did go as far as the inner vesti-
bule and that he remained there for
some time in order, he says, to deceive
County Detective O'Neill, who swore
at the original hearing that he had
seen Jacobs go into the house.

Cold and Heavy Squalls Have
Caused Inconvenience and Disaster.
London, Nov. 22.-Keen frost and
heavy snow squalls are reported from
all parts of the United Kingdom. A
gale ragged all night long over the
coasts, driving vessels to shelter and
seriously dislocating the telegraph
wires, especially in the North of Eng
land and in Scotland. Binding snow
storms are causing deep drifts and
rendering traffic difficult in the coun-
try districts and are necessitating a
cessation of outdoor work in many of
the provincial towns.
In London little snow has fallen, but
a sharp fall in temperature is accentu-
ating the distress among the poor,
which is alread prevalent. The snow
is so deep at Chatsworth that the King
Of Portugal and others of the house
party there have been prevented from
shooting.
In Westmoreland, the unusual sight
was seen Of trains stuck in snow drifts
and blocking communication on the
Northeastern Railroad. The race meet
ing at Warwick had to be postponed,
as the track was deeply covered with
snow.
The life boats are busy, but the
most serious wreck so far reported is
that of the British steamer Indianic,
which was driven ashore on the rocks
near Sunderland. The life-savers took
off the crew.
A few fatalities have occurred as the
result of wrecks of small craft.
