which was near the Yale field, was to-

only for the fact that some Yale stu

the field practicing there would have
also been one fatality and possibly

The fire was caused by Mrs. Ober-

ed lamp, and in the resulting explosion
the woman's clothes took fire. She at
once rushed. screaming. out of the
house. and the students, being attract
ed by her cries, made for the house.
Harry Pierce. a High school lad, was
the best sprnter. and as soon as he
reached the woman he threw his coat
about her and then rolled her on the
ground and succeeded In extinguishing
the flames before the woman was ia
tally burned.

ton to removing the furniture and saw

means to fight the fire. Two little

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.-The hor-
rble story Of human degradation and
practical slavery which DR.. T. j. Wood
ward some time ago graphically de-
Ecribed as existing on the island Of Ma
vassa is confirmed in all its details by
an intelligent young colored man of
Philadelphia, who spent a year OF mis-
cry on the Island under a contract with
the phosphate company. The young
man Is Albert Tolson, and he lives at
1888 Colorado street. He IS about %
years of age, and his story, as told to
reporter, is as follows:
"In November, 1895, / signed a CON
tract for a year with the phosphate
company TO go to Navassa, the agree
ment being that / was to be given free
transportation there and back and re-
ceive boatswain's wages, or s13 "a month
The contract was violated at the start
for / had TO pay $5 to get to Baltimore.
They also agreed that IL 7 cid not like
the island l could forfeit 500 az the end
of six months and come away.
when / was there about that length
Of time l got a finger hurt and asked
leave to go home. / told the supern-
tendent that Mr.. John II. Fowler Of
Baltimore, the president of the COM
pany, had told me 1 could come home at
the end of six months If l would forfeit
500, but the superintendent replied:
Mr.. Fowler has nothing to do with this
place now. We are running it,.
"Our food frequently ran short, and
1t was 50 poor that we did not derive
proper nourishment from it. We often
had to buy our own flour to make bread,
although the flour was sent there to be
given us free. the company agreeing un-
der our contract to board us. We also
had to buy lard, paying a very high
price for it. They frequently gave us
nothing but soup for dinner and you
know a man cannot do hard work on
that.
"The barracks we slept in were not
fit for a dog. The roof leaked, and nc
care was given our sleeping quarters
| If a man was sick 1t was not enough
for one of the physicians to say that he
was i'll; he must give some physical
proof Of il, and even then the superin-
tendent asked all manner of questions
| II we did not look sick, the superintend-
ent made us work, no matter how veal
we were.
when left Navassa on the schoon
er Falmouth in November of last veal
I had something over S44 coming to me
and / signed a receipt for that amount
When l got to the Office In Baltimore

so large a deduction had been made
and was told that 1t was because haC
been sick so much. They told me tina
during my Illness they deducted 8
cents a day for board and SO cents {
day for the loss Of my labor. 1t als'
seems that they gave me S13 montl
for only six months and allowed mi
$40 n month for the rest Of the time.
"The officers on the island were crue
and did as they liked. l have no doub
that things would be much better !
Mr. Fowler were there. The physician
were kind and did all they could L
help the sick but outside Of that tn

IN JAMES BEHALF.
What Dying Thief Said About
the Adams Murder.
THE TRAGEDY At BEDFORD STATION.
Accused Man Himself Goes on the wit
ness stand aud Tcsiines That He
Was Present but Not Impii-
Gated In the killing.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, oct. 22.-
Peter James alias Eddie Jacques, on
trial for the murder of Walker i.
Adams. postmaster and storekeeper at
Bedford Station, last year, went on the
stand In his own behalf and made
peculiar defense.
He said his name was Peter James,
that he was married was AZ years old
and had two children, a boy and a girl
He had three bicycle stores in Brook
lyn. lie met jenkins one OF the men
killed at Bedford Station, eight years
ago He said that six weeks before the
Bedford Station crime he made Jenkins
a partner in his bicycle business. Jen-
klns paid 800 cash down and was TO
pay $3.50 in a few days. He did not
do so.
It was agreed. said James, that Jen-
kins was TO go to Bedford station and
rob the postofice TO get the $3.50. He
communicated with John Clare, the 9TH
er man who was killed, and Glare met
him in the Grand Central depot. James
said he went along, as Jenkins wanted
him TO give an opinion on the wires
which We're running out OF the Adams
store. Jenkins had been to Bedford
Station before and had looked over the
postohice.
James said he took no part In the rob-
berry. He did not fire a pistol and de-
MED that he shot Walker Adams.
There was a big sensation during the
trial yesterday when DR.. Charles f..
Chapman. who was a witness Wednes-
day for the prosecution, was called by
the defense. HIS testimony was al
most exactly opposite that which he
gave before. and besides he related an
alleged confession which went TO show
that James did. not shoot Walker
Adams.
The doctor said Jenkins made con-
fession to him that he. Jenkins. had
killed Walker Adams, but said not to
make the confession public unless he
should die. Jenkins, the doctor said,
stated that he walked down the rail-
road track and saw Walker Adams
coming with a gun. He drew n pistol
and ordered Adams not TO use the gun.
He said Adams made a move as II he
was about to shoot, and he fred and
killed Adams.
The defense has called many wit
nesses 10 testify TO James good char
aoter. Among the persons who have
testified on this line are Michael l. Nc
Laughlin, Frank Stoddard and George
Roden, all Brooklyn policemen. Sew
eral witnesses testified they regarded
James up to the time OF his arrest as
respectable business man and knew
him as the proprietor Of bicycle store
in Atlantic avenue. Brooklyn.
