Young J0nes's Grave Charge
Against an Asylum Of
cial.

New York, May 49,
George W. Jones, colored, eleven
years old, now lying in a critical con-
dition at his fathers home, No. 40S
Fifty-fourth street, yesterday after
noon made an ante-mortem statement
to Coroner Schultze ascribing his ILL
ness to hick given him last July by
Yardmaster Tubbs, of the Juvenile
asylum at One Hundred and Seventy
sixth street and Tenth avenue, where
Jones was an inmate.
|" 1t was in the month of July,
$780," the boys statement was, "tbat
Yardmaster Tubbs kicked me in the
hip. Then he kicked me in the side.
Then he told me to get up. l could
not. Then some boys ran from the
yard to the hill and carried me to the
school-room. Then when recess came
they had to carry me up again. This
was kept up until [ was able to walk
on my feet again. Then Mr.. Golvan,
the under superintendent, saw me.
He told me to 60 to the hospital.
When got there the hospital lady
slapped me in the face and told me
to 60 down again, and 1 didn't 60 up
any more.
After he had taken this statement
Coroner Schullze said TO the father of
the lad: eff you have not laid this
matter before the police you are wrong.
If this story is true Tubbs should be
arrested"
"Mr. Tubbs told me not to tell my
father anything about his kicking me.
He said if | told him he would kill
me. Then one visiting day my father
ask me what was the matter and why
| walked one side. 1 was afraid to
tell him.
CAT other times, after my father
had called to see ME, Mr.. Tubbs would
punish me for everything | didn't do.
He would hit me with any stick that
he got in his hand. He would hit me
anywhere around the body, then after
he got through Furnishing me he
would send me to the yard.
The father showed a reporter a
certificate from House Surgeon l.. f.
Warner. of st. Luke's Hospi tai
where the boy was admittes Sept. %
last, setting forth that he was then
suffering from an abcess around the
left kidney, probably the result of a
tubercular disease of the spine, the
examination at the time showing some
curvature of upper clavical and dor
sal regions and marked fxta;ion of
the spine"
Mr.. Tubbs, when seen at the Juve-
nile Asylum yesterday, denied having
maltreated the boy in any way. He
did not remember him, he said, but
was quite sure he had never touched
him. From the Asylum records it
that young Jones was we'll
behaved lad aud had no complaint |
against him during the last fifty-Dine |
weeks he spent in the institution. |
Supt. E. NJ. Carpenter remembered |
that the boy had a large abcess on the
neck when first admitted, the father
stated that he had lost nine or ten
children from a similar disease, and
the hope that he might
save this one. The boy entered the
place Oct. II, 1888, and left Aug. 26,
1890.
AT the House of Reception for the
Juvenile Asylum, on West Twenty
seventh street, it was learned that
Fsank Jones had written President
Kingsley, of The institution, OH May

SAVED BY A BIRD.
A Wonderful Story of Shipwreek
and Rescue.
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
Sedalia, Mo-, May 15.-In your
paper of the 3rd inst, you have few
lines concerning the sinking of the
steamer Central America. [ annex
the article entire:
There is always danger in delay
when duty calls for immediate action.
The steamship Central America. dis
abled at sea, hoisted signals of distress.
A ship came to her side.
"What is amiss? y" cried the cap
tain.
"We are going down." WIS the
answer, "lie by till morning"
"Let me take your passengers
now" shouted the captain.
''Lie by until morning" came back
from the deck of the steamer.
Once more the captain renewed his
earnest entreaty, and was again re-
fused. An hour and a half after
wards the lights of the Central Amer
lea were missed.
She had sunk with all on board
| will briefly state the facts con-
nected with the foregoing as they
occurred at the time. About the
year 1854 or 1856 the steamer Gen.
trail America was in the trade from
New York to Aspinwall carrying pas
sengers on the California route. This
steamer was sailed under the name of
George Law, but had grown so old
and unseaworthy that her name was
changed to the Central America. She
became water-logged, and hoisted sig
mails of distress. A merchant vessel
came to her assistance and safely
transferred her entire crew and pas
sengers, and brought them to New
York.
And now comes the strange part of
the story. The captain of the mer-
chant vessel in New York called on
Mr.. Geo. Wilkes, the editor of
Wilkes Spirit of the Times, and re.
lated to him what follows.
He said he had ordered the helms
man to change the vessels course aid
in an instant little bird few in his
face. He was astnnished, and thought
fully ordered the vessels head put
back liz her original course, at tie
same time ordering the lookout men
to exercise increased vigilance. He
sailed some half an hour, and, seeing
nothing. again orde Ell the vessel
turned on her proper course. As at
first, the bird flew in his face again,
and still third time it occurred,
until in a short time he sighted the
Central America in a sinking con-
dition.
1 respectfully refer to the files of
Wilkes Spirit of the Times for full
account of this remarkable preserva-
ton of crew and passengers of a sink
ing ship.
As the Christian people said. it was
the hand of God, who sent relief TO
the laundering ship. In this enlight-
ened day MIR. Ingersoll would pro
nounce it ga wonderful confederation
of circumstances. Respectfully.
