Jacob Gerhardt, a Shaniokin Builder Who Is Known in Freeland, Is Charged With Murder. Jacob Gerhardt, a Shamokin builder and contractor who is known to uianv Free!and people, shot and instantly killed his wife yesterday and then sent a bullet into his own head, indicting a flesh wound. Gerhardt was accused of inufdor by the coroner and afterward committed to jail. The murder is alleged to be the result ] of a family quarrel about money mat- i ters. Gerhardt, who is 38 years of age, returned from West Virginia several weeks ago, after finishing a contract, ! and wanted his son, George, to accom pany him to Philadelphia and assist in erecting houses there. The son deter mined to remain at home and assist his mother, and, it is said, his father be came angry. Gerhardt attacked his wife while she was preparing breakfast and shot her twice. George Gerhardt ran to his mother's assistance and threatened to kill iiis father, lint neighbors, attracted to tho scene by tin; shooting, disarmed , him. A crowd of angry people collected and threatened to lynch Gerhardt, who was later safely taken by the police to prison. Me has several thousand dollars in bank and was a sober and industrious man. Some time ago Gerhardt was stricken with typhoid malaria, and friends think his mind was temporarily deranged at the time of the shooting. Gn tho other hand, the police believe the crime was premeditated from tin' fact that in Gorhardt's trunk were found four envelopes containing money. The amounts covered #3O for clothing for tho children, S2O for suits for Gerhardt aud iiis wife, $lO for tho cemetery, $lO for two graves and S7O for tho undertaker. Thought He Was Dead. From the Wilkesbnrro Record. Thomas Casper, whoso disappearance from Georgetown several years ago led to a report that he had been murdered and liis body placed in hiding, returned unexpectedly to that place last night. When Casper disappeared it was gener ally believed that the Peter Wasslll gang had killed him and then to cover up the tracks, had thrown his body iii a cave or buried It in the Empire mine. A diligent hunt was kept up for him for some time, but it not being possible to lind any clue of him the search was finally abandoned. Last night Casper startled his old neighbors in Georgetown by appearing in their midst. The residents at first looked upon him as a man who had re turned from the grave and could hardly believe their eyes. lie could not under stand why his appearance caused such a commotion and asked for an explana tion. The alarm his disappearance caused was explained to him and it proved an interesting tale to him. Since his sudden departure from town Casper has made his home in New York. Bonner Won the Fight.

South Centre Street Grocer Tires of Life In This World. J. T. Kroner, proprietor of a grocery store on South Centre street, committed suicide on Monday. The body was found by members of his family in his bod at 6 o'clock that evening. At his side was a 38-callbre revolver, with one chamber empty. He shot himself in tho head and the ball passed through, dropping on tho pillow a few inches be yond. Death was undoubtedly instan taneous. On Monday he was about town as usual, and several people who trans acted business with him that day found him in a very pleasant mood. Shortly after dinner he went to bed, and the family thought he was sleeping. At 4 o'clock some of the neighbors heard what they thought was a shot from a revolver, but no complete investigation was made and the body was not found until one of his sons went to the room to call his father to supper. The deceased was a resident of town for about one year. Ho purchased the grocery store of George J. Sharnbora, but was never a successful merchant. Although he stood high in Slavonian circles, he was unable to build up a trade sufficiently large to make money and his failure had a tendency to affect him greatly of late. His business troubles were supple mented with domestic difficulties, and both aro explained at length in a letter written just before he died to Mike Wolsko, president of a society to which ho belonged. In tiiis lottor Kroner told of his in tention to take iiis life. He stated that he regretted the necessity of committing the act, but said that "it must bo done." Tho letter gave instructions regarding the funeral and the death benefits which are now due from societies of which he was a member. Kroner was aged 54 years and is sur vived by a wife and four children. Deputy Coroner Bowmau arrived here on Monday evening and after ascertain ing the facts in the case decided that an inquest was not necessary. BREVITIES.
