He used two revolvers, fir- ing nine shots at his wife and the re- maining shot in tne second revolver into his own head. The tragedy occurred in the apart- ments of Rubsam over the store, Two other children, Carl, aged six- teen, and Emily, aged ten, were in the store and heard the shots and the nolse of the falling bodies. The girl Elsie, who witnessed the shooting, has been unable to give a connected account of it. From her story it appears that Rubsam and his wife had a trivial quarrel and he killed her in a fit of anger. Then, realizing the nature of his crime and its consequences, he turned the pis- tol upon himself. The bullet pierced his right temple and he fell dead beside the body of his wife. He Is Wildly Pursned by Mrs. Dowes, the Other Two Being Caught After Sensational Tenderloin Chase. Policeman Joseph Herzing, of the West Thirty-seventh street station, at Eighth {avenue and Thirty-second street early this morning heard the piercing shrick of a woman's voice, crying: “Murder! Police! Stop them! The next moment he saw @ man run- ning across Eighth avenue, at Thirty- first street, pursued by a woman, who screamed as she ran. ‘The policeman was about to run to her assistance when two young men turned the corner of Eighth avenue and Thirty- fivst street, from the block where the woman had come, and started at full speed toward the policeman. Herzing swung his club against the cory for assistance, then spread his arms out In front of the oncoming men ind brought them to a halt. Ruse Did Not Work. “There's a man bleeding to death down in Thirty-first street,” explained the menbreathleasty. “Well, you come back with me,” re- piled the iceman. “I may need your Assistance." He, selzed their arms, and saw other men’ speeding toward him. When these saw the policeman they shouted: “Hold them! they're garrot ‘The two prisoners wrenched themselves loose and ran up Eighth avenue, the policeman following. After @ sprint Hersing caught one of the men, while the other was caught by Detective James Kelly, who re- was possessed of a comfortable for- tune. His home life appeared to be ideal. None of the noighbors reniem- bers ever hearing of any quarrels between the dead man and his mur- dered wife.

After a short absence the clerks and custom- ers heard women’s screams and the sound of the report of a pistol. This was followed by the sound of a falling body directly above the middle ‘of the mtore. Before the frightened per- sons downstairs could gather their thoughts the other shots were heard @nd another body was heard to fall.

The policeman on the beat sent in an ambulance call a moment after the shooting, but when the surgeon arrived there was nothing for him (o do save certify that Rubsam and his wife were dead, ‘The other three children were not at home at the time of the shooting. Until the girl becomes more composed it will not be known just how the quarrel be- wan that ended so fatally. Dispute Over Religion? Detective Enright, who investigated after the shooting, says he believes the wife and husband quarrelied over question of religion. Rubsam wes |thirty-eight years old and a Protestant. His wife was a Catholic, two years his senior, Enright says that they had frequent discussions concerning the re- ligion in which the children should be educated, Friends of the family who were aware of this difference between Rub- sam and his wife are of the opinion that the man was a religious maniac, although he had manifested no symp- toms to lead them to believe that his manta. would lead him to vielence. Unknown to his wife Rubsam bought two 88-calibre revolvers a few days ago, He had these in bis pocket when he went to his apartments from the store te- day, Mrs. were working in the kitchen when he came upstairs. Nine Shots at Wife. In answer to a call from her husband, Mrs, Rubsam went to an inner room. A brief quarrel followed. Rubsam then drew one of the revolvers and fired four times at his wife, each shot taking effect. One of the bullets passed through her heart and she fell. Rubsam fired the remaining shot in the pistol at the prostrate body. It went wild, Then he drew the other re- volver and fired four more shots at the body of his wife while his daughter struggled with him to get possession of the weapon, He broke toose from the «irl and fired the last shot in the sec- ond revolver into his own head, It was learned late this afternoon that Rubsan wrote two letters before going upstairs to kill his wite and himeelf. One was addressed to the Loroner and the other to his mother-in-law, Mrs, Miller. In them he told where his keys and money could be found, It Is believed from statements in the letters that he intended also to kill the daughter who aOR ot Tn yay hae wi loa Jaden from the girl's incoherent remarks’ witnessed ihe shooting. rother ‘men, | Jeder stepped out and| whether the wife or the husband had Took Out #10,000 Policy. asked my husband for a match. husband did not have one and teld Lig,| done the shooting.

Y., Aug. 16.—The second week of the Saratoga meeting ended this afternoon with one of the moat interesting programmes yet «:- fered. The United States Hotel Stakes, with a guaranteed value of $10,000 and a real value of $12,700, if all the carded entries started, brought out a splen-| didly matched fleld of two-year-olds ‘or the highest class. The Delaware Handicap, for three-| year-olds and upward, had a field of recoyd-breakers engaged. The Trou- ble Steeplechase and a race for gen- tlemen, ridera were two excellent features, All of the fields were large and well matched, so that the probabilities for heavy speculation were unlimited. The king of the plungers, however, has gone. John W. Gates will not stampede any bookies for some time to come, but has left his son, Charlie Gates, behind to execute any com- missions that may be wired, It is said that Mr. Gates contemplates gathering together a string of his own very soon. The weather to-day was perfect, and the trains from Albany and ‘roy | swelled the attendance into one of the largest of the meeting. The track was lightning fast, and a new record was looked for in both of the stake events. For the first time in the history of any association that has ever owned the Saratoga track there was not a! vacant seat in the grand stand this afternoon, The aisles were filled and men and women stood packed three deep in the promenace at the back of the stand, It is stated that 18,000 persons were present PIRST RACE for all anes ture Hienmeiant hand ap, sevew siariers, fle Do ‘oroh ligt Brivino, 190, Bliptheitt Belvino, G.
