BROKER ELEPHANT
DIES FROM WOUNDS

New York, Dec. 24.-James H. Oil
.phant, a senior member of the stock
exchange firm of James H. Oliphant &
Co, died at 2 O'Clock his morning from
a bullet wound inflicted at his office
yesterday afternoon by Chas A. Geig-
.er, a customer from Beaufort, S. C.,
who, after firing upon Oliphant, killed
himself.
Searching through Geiger's effects to-
day the coroner found in a dress suit
case, the entire correspondence between
Geiger and the firm since he began
trading with them. There were sheets
of paper filled with figures which APP
peared to be incoherent till it was
found that the man had calculated the
interest on nearly every dividend pay
ing stock at the present market prices.
There were figures showing what all
investment Of 100000 or 100000
would bring. There was also Geiger's
bank book telling %eloquently of the
%dwindling account to the last check.
He had had $4,000 in the Fifth Avenue
bank. of which all but $3.50 a been
checked out.
The letter from Mr.. oliphant that
made Geiger realize that disaster wa
near is as follows:
w have carried your account from
is to 81 months at 6 per cent and il
these critical times we are no longer
able to carry it at that interest. I'm
