BOSTON, Jan. 8.-The journal says: The facts
have just become known about terrible experience
of a Japanese student named Masuda, in September
last while on his way to Massachusetts to study the
textile machinery in the mills of this State. He
was provided with letters from the Emperor and
prominent functonaries and carried about his body
$3.50 in gold. He came from Troy over the Hoosac
Tunnel route in his trip across the continent, On
the cars this side of the tunnel, several young men
among the passengers made him believe he had
been put upon train for Canada, instead of for
Boston, and that he to be made slave in the
Dominion. The young Japanese became desperate
IN his alarm, and jumped from the platform of tne
flying train when near Concord junction. He lost
consciousness on striking the ground, and remem-
oers nothing until he regained his senses in hut in
the woods. Some tramps found him by the II ack
and took him to their den. They stripped him of
his gold watch and other jeweTy and of his money
belt. Then they beat him horribly until they sup
posed no life was left in him, and threw his body
dead as supposed into thicket How long he lay
there he does not knowwhen he regained his senses
he dragged himself out and succeeded in reaching
the house. The letters which he had recovered
family and he was cared for Next day be sent
to Boston and was taken in by a gentleman living
at Ferest Hills. That night he was Frustrated by
severe illness. His sufferings affected his mind,
and he has not yet 1ully recovered A few days
ago he went to Mr.. Moodys school at Northfeld,
where he will study English for time, in the hope
that he may recover his health sufficiently to be
able to pursue his originals intention.
