Gustav Jacob about 40, was struck and killed by the New York bound express due in this oity at s.2s Thurs. day afternoon. The accident occurred about 1000 feet south of the Me an1esvilie bridge and was not known
 tp the train crew.
 While the engineer was ofltng the
 pig locomotive during the stop at the spa ttered with blood and immediately reported the matter to Station Agent Gs L. Baldwin, knowing that the ac- cIdent must have happened since the tram left Blackstone half an hour be- fore. Agent Baldwin wired back along the line for informa ton, but this i'm ally came from the crew of a freight train, who saw the body.
 Jacob was evidently walking toward Putnam when he was struck by the express. His death must have come instantly, for the chest was crushed in, the head battered, one leg severed Kent. medical examiner, with Sta- tion Agent Baldwin and Deputy Sher- if Holbrook made a trip on the yard switcher to where the body lay be- giving permission for it's removal after a1 examination. Undertaken Ls E. Smith took the body in charge.
 Papers and notes found in the dead mans pocket made possible the fix ing of his identity, but did not dis close his place of residence.
 One inscription gave his post office address as Box 162, Putnam, Conn, but inquiry at the post office showed that he gave up the box an January 29, and that the office force remen1- bered little of him. Worcester and Webster addresses were also found on his person and a list of various places, evidently towns where he had worked. Jacob was well clothed, had on good shoes and there was a gold filled watch in his pocket. The impression from the examination of his propersg that his home was in Webster, where there are several families of his name. 2 It was later learned that Jacob was picked Up with frozen feet on School street in Webster Tuesday morning. He was given treatment at the ernef- geney room at police headquarters and then set out for the Day. -KinlbaIl hes- pital here. He appeared at that in- stitlltion in an intoxicated condition Wednesday and was not received, Thursday he was about this city aet- ing in a somewhat strange manner, It was learned that up to two weeks ago he had been employed at Me- chaniesville. He told a Webster news paper man Tuesday that he had a family in Philadelphia, but has not live1 with them fer years.

 It seems certain that the indebted ness of the borough will show another increase when the annual reports are issued a few weeks hence. As was pointed out in his annual message by the late Warden Frank F.

In spite of this the expenditures will again exceed the income this year. and Warden w. I. Bui1ard is considering advocating in his annual message the advance ef the tax rate by another mill.
