Christmas's blizzard claimed another

h1e over the ridges as a passenger
train approached. He slipped and fell
backward, his head I'M shoulders be-
ing hit by the engine.

HOLD GUARDSMAN
FOR MURDER OF
ELIZABETH WIFE
Police Make Formal Charge, AL
though He Declares Shoot
ing Was Accidental.
Especial to the Newark start

/" ELIZABETH. Dec. 2s.-On a formal
charge of numbering his wife, Walter
p. jacobson was held by Judge Mahon
today. The prosecutor and chief Of
police made the charge. +
The charge was brought about mainly
through the police investigation fol-
lowing the statement of an eyewitness
to the shooting that Jacobson pointed
the gun he declared he had been clean
ing directly at his fwife just before it
was discharged. Jacobson says the ac-
cident which resulted in the death OF
his wife vas purely accidental.
Mrs. Nellie Drake, who was in the
room when Mrs. jacobson was killed,
insists that the shooting was an acci-
dent.
1t was asserted by several persons
who live in the neighborhood of the
Jacobson home that the couple quar-
relied continually and that the child
who was in the room at the time oil
the shooting vas often the cause oil
the quarrels. They declare Jacobson
drank heavily. but this is denied by
his National Guardsmen friends, the
members of Company c..
When he learned his wife was dead
~
Jacobson gave way completely to his
emotions.
It was remembered that two years
ago the woman who was killed was ar.
rested in New York for the alleged de-
sertion Of an infant in a hallway. She
vas but Is years old at that time
About a year ago she and jacobson
were married. He is a Dane and wal
formerly a sailor. 1t is said he hat
been out to buy presents for his wife
and the baby, and that when he cam.
in Mrs. jacobson thanked him for be
ing so good to her.
1t has been intimated by some o.
Jacobson's friends who have beer
forced to see that the circumstance.
surrounding the tragedy are peculiar t.
say the least, thai the man was in
sane, but this theory is scoffed at b,
the police.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-New York
city's total net Indebtedness for the
fiscal year of 1907 was more than even
times that of n other city in the
United States, and more than one-half
of the total of the tw~enty-seven largest
cities as figured out by the census
bureau. OF the total net indebtedness
of the $50 cities of over 10000 popula-
ton, New York city is credited with
39.2 per cent, the per capita being

WALL STREET NOTES.

Brokers are inclined TO believe that
the Rock Island episode yesterday was
more in the nature of a costly blum
der. due to puerile tactics rather thar.
a deliberate effort to corner the stock
or frighten the shorts. The manner lii
which the insiders poured out the stock
after the early excitement in order 10
allay all fears was sufficient proof that
no corner was attempted. The brunt
of all the blame, it is believed, lies
with the man who distributed buying
orders with at least twelve brokers,
and thus set them competing with each
other, frantically trying to get STOCK
at any price, when London, Berlin and
other European markets were closed.
and when our own market was in ~
most stagnant condition. The governors
of the stock exchange will doubtlessly
place the blame where it belongs. In
the meantime the episode will tend 10
narrow the market, but it's intrinsic
strength is still attractive. Brokers
hear good things about Wabash and
believe that it, with New York Centrai
and Pennsylvania. can be bought with
safety.

market opened firm at an advance of
5d2S points in response to very strong
cables. Trading was very active and
there was heavy realizing at the in

with the market during the middle Of
the morning very steady at a net adj
vance of about s@14 points.
The market was a little less active
during the late forenoon, but ruled very
firm owing to a continued demand from
spot people, covering by early sellers,
and moderate support from the bull
leaders with prices abou is to is points
net higher or only slightly of from the
high records established at the opening.

President Murray to Be Sue
) Ceeded BY Daniel Willard.

PITTSBURG. Dec. 2S.-The rumored
shake-up in the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will become a fact on Friday,
it was said today. 1t has been brought
about by the Hartman interests.
After years of service as receiver and

toned in the rumors of changes in the
management, will also retire.
Charles S. Wight, general traffic man
ager of the Baltimore and Ohio at
Baltimore, and George M. Shriber, as
sistant to President Murray, are men
toned for MIR. Randolph's place.
1t was learned mere from an au.
thoritatiye source that the designations
of both Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Randolph
have been in the hands of the directors
for some time. 1t Is understood that at
the annual stockholders meeting 1t
had been the Intention to elect a new
president, but it was decided to ask
Mr.. Murray to remain in office until
the end of the year.
MI. Murray's rule was unquestioned
until the Hartman interests became a
factor in the Baltimore and Ohio. The
latter, it is said. complained that cars
and locomotives We're not ordered

Of business. Friends of Mr.. Murray,
on the other hand, say he has brought
