TIE ARSON TRIAL.
Brodjicke and His Brother Give
Their Version OF the fire.

I'he trial OF Joseph Brodjicke for arson
was continued in the General Sessions
Court this morning. A number of wit
nesses were examined yesterday after
noon, but the only important point de-
.veloped was that the defendant had
made a demand upon the Western In
surance Company, of Toronto, for 1914.
The first witness called this. morning
was detective julius Nelson, of Hoboken,
He testified that he examined the rooms
at ALI Jefferson street, where the fire
occurred. He found about the same con-
dition of affairs as had been described
by previous witnesses. There were
eight barrels of wood in the room There
was a lot of burned paper and charred.
stuff under the window and signs of fire
under the bed. The State rested at this
point and offered in evidence all the
cbarred stuff taken from the rooms.
Mr.. Black in his opening said the de-
fense would show that the fire was ac-
cidental and caused by the explosion of
the lamp.
The defendant was put on thre stand.
He said he was 26 years old born in
Poland, where his parents live now,
and that he had two brothers and two
sisters living in HobolSen. He is a car
penter, and he and his brother were
living together at All Jefferson street
for two months before the fire. Coming
down to the time of the fire the, wit
ness said the first knowledge he had
that there was a fire was when he was
awakened by the smell of smoke He
room and his brother was asleep in the
bedroom The witness saw the fire ano
began tos shout in order to awaken his
brother and the other tenants in the
house. Then he and his brother ran out
and went to KalfOrki Constantis house.
on the other street. They remained
there until O'Clock the next morning
and then the witness went around to
the house. He has been in Jail since
August. He positively denied that he
had set fire to the house and declared
In regard to the insurance ana the
demand made for it he said that Mr.
Heinriclx's, the insurance agent, sent for
him and asked him how much he want
ed. He answered that Mr. Heinricks
ought to know. The State had already
proauced evidence that the defendant
had made a demand for $3l4, and had
told Mr.. Heinricks that he estimated
his loss at $3.50
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan put the
defendant through a severe cross-exa1n-
nation. He explained that he did not
return to the house after dressing him
self at his friends house because his
friend told him not to as the police
wouldn't let him in. He did not keep
his wood in the woodshed, because when
he went home from work to cook his
midday meal he had no time to go to
the shed for wood. When Mr.. Noorlan
called his attention to the fact that he
cooked nearly all of his midday meals
on the oil stove he explained that he
kept the wood in the room because the
woodshed was broken and if he put
it there it might be stolen.

ASBURY PARK, May q, 1896.--A steady
rain this forenoon did not da1npen the
ardor of the Baptists who are here to the
number of 1900 or more and the audito-
rum was comfortably filled when Presi-
dent Crozier called the assembly to or
der for the second days proceedings. Pro-
fessor HI. &C.. Vedder of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the Committee on Publish
ing Department, made the opening address
and read the report of his committee.
He was followed by the Rev. w. S. Geist-
welt, of Minnesota, who reported for the
Committee on Missionary Department..
Ex-senator Doolittle of Wisconsin urged
the publication of a work on the United
states Of America in the light of prophecy,
as Well as history. He said the prophet
Daniel alluded to this coun-
try when he said that the
people shall govern themselves He said
that whether Mckinley or Cleveland be
the next President mattered not; The Re-
public would go on and thai it will revoiu-
tlonize the earth. He said we have
nearly republicanized Great Britain, and
that before long we will nave a republic
IN Africa. one in Armenia and monarchy
shall be thing of the past.
The Senator's proposition aroused oppo-
sftion. One delegate said that Daniel al
luded to the Kingdom of heaven and not
to the United States of America The
proposition of Senator Doolittle was voted
down.
Mr.. George E. Stevens of CINCINNATI
said that large proportion of the re-
ceipts of the Publication Society was
from sales of publications of other houses.
This caused a breeze and was denied from
the platform.
Mr. Stevens went on to say that the
100000 Baptists of the North buy few of
the books published by the society and
read less. Mr.. Blackwell, of the Mis-
sionary Department, spoke of the chapel
car work along the railroads and said
that the Gospel wagons are now being
built for work along roadways
