He is q man of small stature. quiet and inoffensive One of his players in the early even ing was Andre, a Frenchman. man about 39 years of age and of powerful physique. He was a hangeron around the redlight district. Following an all terc2tion over the payment of q bet Andre had made on a case card Andre struck Sparks a blow over the eve. cutting gash several inches fn length Andre then left the table. cashed his cheeks at the bar and quit the saloon.
 Sparks was soon relieved as dealer and after washing the wound he had received, he also left the saloon. fl be- ing generally understood that the af- fair was ended. About half a block from the saloon Sparks met Andre and some further words cnsued when Sparks drew his gun and fired. The shot from forty-five caliber revolver took effect in tie center of Andres forehead passing out the back of the head. He lived but a few moments.

 More Terrible Than First Reported
The Dead Already Number Fifty-Three and the List Will Receive Many AccessiOns--The Fixing the Responsibility.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Tke Baltimore F & Ohio wreck at TeEra Gotta last night grows in magnitude as the hours pass.

 Heart-rending and pitiful were the scenes at the city morgue today, where hundreds of persons aocked to assist the police in the identification of the i dead. Women. girls. and even men with iron nerves shrieked. sobbed and tainted as their relatives or friends were found among the corpses strewn about on the floor.
 Officials of the B. & O. railroad arc conducting an invest gation of the wreck in Baltimore for the purpose of i placing the responsibility General Superintendent Todd exonerated Mil ton W. Phillips. the telegraph operator at the Takoma station. the last signal station that the equipment train passed before crashing into the passenger train at Terra Gotta. The superin- tendent declared that Phillips was obeyinS instructions when he went home at 6:50 p. m.. leaving a double green" signal burning.
 While making no positive charge Superintendent Todd intimated that the burden of the blame should fall upon the engineer and crew of the ex- tra. Five members of the crew who were arrested shortly after the wreck are now being held to await the result Of an official Investigation. They are Harry Fl. Hildebrand. engineer: Ira C. McClelland, fireman; Frank F. Hof- meyer. conductor; Ralph Rutler, brake nan, and Wm. A. Norris. bagga geman.
 Gazing vacantly between the iron bars of his cell at the police station. Engineer Hildebrand is tonight too full of emotion to make any definite state ment. Tt will all come out at the in vestigatOn." he said. ''I do not believe that there is anything for me to say and could not say it if there were" Before he was arrested the engineer made a statement to the Associated Press in which he declared that if the danger signal light was displaced at Takoma he failed to see il on account of the dense fog.
 Milton J. Phillips. the operator who is also a prisoner. said today that the equiBment train ran past his danger signal at a speed of from fifty to sixty miles an hour. He says there was a heavy fog. but not enough to hide the red light He declares that he notified

Dec. 31.-The last day of the year did not pass without a pinch in the money market and this was a constraint upon the stock market bus more influence on sentiment was caused by the persistent rumors of financial embarrassment growing out of stock market losses. Before the day was over it was made to be understood that arrangements had been concluded to avoid the threatened embarrassment. Relief 10 speculative sentiment was manifested and the tone Of the de pression in the market largely disap- peared.

men on the evidence of a shortSight-
ed man is being much discussed as
lit illustrates the peril in which the
New York woman moves. Here is a
man who is so short sighted that he
has to wear double glasses, and who
| is subsequently found TO have given
two addresses, yet, on his uncorrobO-
rated testimony he procures the ar
rest, on the public street, on a dis
graceful charge, of lady of high So
| cial standing who is locked up with
the usual indignities and bailed out
after considerable delay. The dis
Quieting thing about the whole Incl
dent, no matter how it can be con.
sidered is that it suggests a grave
danger to the innocent for the police
commissioner has laid it down that
the officer has no course open to him
but to make the arrest when the
lcharge was made. On being taken 10
the station Mrs. Trautman handed
1.-THE desk sergeant her card, told
| what she was and asked that her
friends be sent for but it was all of
no avail. 1t must have been apparent
to the police that Mrs. Trautman was
woman Of culture and refinement
and the question is being asked on
all sides why they did not take steps
TO ascertain if her statement was cor
rect before they made her herd with
Idisreputable women. Though Mrs.
Trautman was completely indicated
of the charge made against her it is
plain that TO a woman of refinement
her sufferings were terrible, still she
did not plead for the release of her
accuser when he was arrested on a
charge of malicious prosecution and
