MAY SOON BE IN CUSTODY.
Negro Who Assaulted Captain MackIin
 Intense Feeling.

Fl Reno, Dec. 2S.-Major Penrose, commandant at Fort Reno tonight re- fused to make any statement regarding the report that he has clue to the identity and whereabouts of the negro, believed to be a discharged soldier of the Twenty-ffth infantry, who shot and seriously wounded Captain Edgar Macklin week ago. It is believed, however, that Major Penrose has defin- ite information and that he assailant will be in custody within short time.
 Excitement and intense racial feeling prevail over the assault yesterday on Mrs. T. s. Clifford by a negro. While Major Penrose declines to discuss the affair, it is said that all of the regulars have been accounted for, and that the insult was given either by discharg- ed soldier or negro civilian who might have purchased cast-off uni form.

 The New Haven board of aldermen for 1908 passed into history with the strokes of 10 o'clock on the city hall bell last evening Considerable house. cleaning was accomplished at this last session, number of matters that are usually tabled for printing being dis posed of under unanimous consent.
 The storm of the evening was focus ed about the passage of the recom- mendations for the bond issues, which came up for second reading, The items of $75,OO0 for Humphrey street exten- sion, $95,OO0 for widening of St. John street and $620O0 for widening of Crown street were passed without murmur When the item of $70,0OO for Take and driveway at foot of East Rock park" came up Alderman Woodford, who had previously insisted on disposing of the items one by one, recorded strenuous opposition. He declared the project not feasible or advisable.
 Alderman Smith was quite content with the lake scheme, but opposed the loophole afforded by the ambiguity of the expression for the establishment of speedway. He recalled the cold shoulder accorded the speedway project year or so ago, and feared renewal of the attempt in more insidious form. This belief, he declared was founded on the character of the advocates of the persons supporting the project and the language in which the item was couched.
 Alderman Langley protested against the indefniteness of the plans He de- clared he did not know what was pro- jected.
 Thereupon Alderman Johnson entered into a labored explanation, declaring that no question of a speedway had been raised at the public hearings, that no speedway was contemplated, and that none was possible, inasmuch as the drive would be under the regula tons of the park commission; that 1t was to be a boulevard 100 feet wide on

Europe-Gales Cause Many WrecI1s.
 London, Dec. 2S.-It is many years since central Europe generally has sui. fsred from an arctic visitation as it has this Christmas week, From France Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Austria Hungary the same tale is re. peated of heavy snow storms, the in terruption of railroad, vehicular and tslegraphic communication, the loss of life and general discom1t and inconven- fence in the towns as well as in thu country districts.
 While England is, as rule, fortunate in escaping very severe winter weather, she has suffered this year to an almost unprecedented degree. According to the reports received tonight from Northern points the storm situation Is growing worse. The heavy snow storms which began several days ago continue. They are accompanied by violent gales, and even thunder storms in some places and have resulted already in the seri- ous railroad accident near Arbroath, Scotland, in which about fifty people were killed or suffered serious injury
 Railroad traffic in the northern part of Englan1, and especially in Scotland, is becoming completely tied up. Large towns like Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth are almost isolated The tele- graphic services are greatly disorgan- ized, and would be completely so but for the extension in recent years Of the underground system of laying the wires. The snow storms continue with equal severity in Northern Wales and in Ire land.
 None of the trains that left London Thursday over the Midland railway have reached Edinburgh, while in all other directions trains are snow bound, and passengers are suffering from cold and hunger. The relief trains sent out are being similarly embedded in the snow and the railroad companies have issued official notices that 1t is iinpossi- 'ble to guarantee traffic on schedule time so far as Scotland is concerned, although there has not yet been serious trouble in Central and Southern Eng land.
 The gales have caused many wrecks along the coasts.

Porto Rico Wants achievement as
 Well as Citizenship.

San Juan, Porto Rico. Dec. 2S.-R.

 Giving of Aid Attended With Much
 Difficulty.
 Dundee, Scotland, Dec. 2S.--In a rail- road collision caused indirectly by the heavy snowstorm of the last few days sixteen persons have been killed and over thirty injured. The accident oc- cured near Anbroath, on the North British railroad, between Edinburgh and Aberdeen, and some distance north of here. Among the persons injured is Alexander William Black, member of the house of commons from Banffshire, Scotland.
 The accident is attributed to the heavy fall of snow, owing to which trains from London for Aberdeen were held up at Arbroath During the aft ernoon, however, the line was cleared and one train proceeded for Dundee It had stopped at Elliot Junction, and tllc uduStI SlSuilo were luUuBnb LO have been set. They failed to act, however, through being clogged up with snow, or from some other cause not yet ascertained, and an express train dashed into the rear of the wait ing train.
 MT. Black had both legs broken. A number of other sustained serious in- 5uries and it is feared that some of them will succumb. Everything possi- ble is being done to succor the wound ed, but the rendering of assistance is attended with much difficulty and the suffering can be alleviated slowly.
 Telegraphic communication between here and Arbroath is unsatisfactory be- cause of the weather conditions, and details of the accident are coming slowly.
