yesterday morning to visit a sick man, who
lives at Mr. Kimberly's new place. A little
piece this side OF Judge ~Thompson's l met
one Of the steam motors. Not knowing how
my mare would behave, I got ont and stood
by her head, holding the bride until the
motor passed. Then, supposing everything
was all right, I got in and drove of. But the
mare was so thoroughly frightened that she
becsme unmanageAble, running and kicking
until finally she got her right hind loot over
the shaft and completely wedged in
between three spokes, passing outward be-
tween two spokes aud then inward between
that and the next one. The left hind foot
was over the cross beam OF the shafts, with
the hoof held fast under the axle. In order
to release her 1t was necessary to saw out the
middle one OF the three spokes, and TO cut
the harness in several places. The rump OF

LIPE IN sAvAssA.
A Government InyestIgation Going on
at Baltimore.


JEFF Davis returned yesterday from Balt.
more, where he went on a combined bust.
ness and pleasure trip" bis business being
the collection Of wages due him from the
Nayassa Phosphate Company. JEFF claims
they W him ten months pay about $lG0.
He found au investigation into the company's
ann OF doing business on the island In
progress before q United States shipping
master, and he was examined closely as 70
his experience in NavAksl. Before he bad
appeared before the authorities, the police
arrested him, on what charge he PROCESSES 10
be ignorant. He was released In an hour
or 30.
States man.of.war VandAlia, who was order.
ed by the Naval Department TO investigate
the affairs OF the Phosphate Company In
Nayassa, recently made u report In which he
praises the manner In which they conduct
business. Among other statements, he makes
one that no beating or striking is allowed.
jeff says he has good recson to know this IS
false. The statement, as printed in the Bal
timore papers, is accompanied by another
from Mi. W. s Dunau, the agent OF the com
A at Baltimore, In which he says there
are no females on the island, another state
ment which JEFF denies. The affair 10 now
In such shape that a thorough investigation
will probably be given. jeff was informed
that bic testimony would be called for when
the formal investigation was begun.
In his statement Mr.. Dnnan says that
when an attempt was made by the officers
last year to break up some vicious practices
obnoxious TO the management, the colored
men rebelled, aud In August formed a so.
ciety for the purpose OF getting rid OF the
| whites. October Is the riot occurred, the
facts OF which have been published. super.
intendent Everett was away at the time, and
the assistant superintendent, after the dis
turbAnce was over, discharged and sent home
twenty.fcur men. This was done be-
cause there was no reformatory Of jail,
the only place OF the kind being a small
room or lookup where incorrigibles were con-
fined until they became t%ractable, and the
officers were afraid to stay OH the island with
the men, who had sworn vengeance on the
white officers. one 81 the msn sent home
has since Drought suit for damages. Superin.
tandent Everett on his return 10 the island
after the riot, wrote to the company saying
lit was the intent OF the mutineers to have
murdered all the white men on the island,
| blow up the magazine, set fire TO the build.
ings, and then take the boats and leave"
probably for Hayti, Mr.. Dunan thought. MIR.
Everett said George Thomas, one OF the men,
was willing to swear to this, and would have
told Il before but for fear the men would find
II out and kill him. Mr.. Dunan says: I'VE
