beaten last night by Charles Washington

the latter finally fell. stabbed to death by
a knife held in the hands of Nelson.
Washington, well known as a police char
acter. was removed to the Emergency
Hospital, where he died within half an
hour after his arrival. Nelson gave him
self up to the police. and is lodged at
the Third precinct station on a charge of
murder.
The killing of Washington, preceded by
an attack upon Nelson, all came about
as the latter, accompanied by Annie
Green, colored. started to leave the oyster
house. corner of Twenty-sixth and l
streets. shortly after s o'clock. Unknown
seemingly to Nelson or the woman, who
lived together for some years at 1O1S
Kings Court northwest, Washington en-
tered the place and remained until the
couple were ready to depart. Then it ap-
pears that Washington presented himself
and uttered some threatening words to
Nelson
Even this failed to start trouble, but
woman. and Oh the threshold of the place
attacked the former, striking him with
his fists. Nelson was forced backward
and separated from the woman by his
assailant, and finally fell with his back
against Il picket fence surrounding the
eating house. As he fell Nelson thrust
his hand in his vest pocket and drew
small penknife. which he opened with diff
ficulty. In so doing he cut his hand but
when Washington attempted to rain blow
upon blow on his head Nelson stabbed his
assaiant to the heart
Washington released his hold. staggered
and fell while several persons ran up,
attracted by the affray.
Policeman Cover was among the first
to arrive. and he sent Washington to the
hospital in a diving condition Charles
Slaughter. who had charge of the oyster
house during the absence of Adams; Rob
crt Ellis. of 25l6 II Street northwest,
bystander, and Annie Green were gath
cred in as witnesses to the tragedy, while
Nelson was sent to the station and locked
up. At the hospital a cut half an inch
across was found in the valve of Wash
ingtons heart. DTs Vaughan, Bragonier
and BriScoe took several stitches in this
but while the operation was yet

Washington bore an unsavory reputa-
ton with the police; he had been arrested
AZ various times on several charges. 1t

YALE SHOWS WEAK POINTS.
One Touchdown and Goal Scored
Against the Amherst Eleven.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 2.-Despite
two weeks of training and the coaching Of
Billy Bull and other equally famous and
clever backs. Yale failed to make more
than one touchdown from the plucky
Amherst team this afternoon in hard
fought game. Two halfs of twelve and
ten minutes. respectively were played.
The trouble was principally In tho
weight of the Yale backs Not one can
be called a plunging back by any manner
of means, and while Hart, Chadwick. and
Wilhelm hammered time after time, their
best and most effective playing was
around the ends, where good gains were
frequently made.
The touchdown was made near the end
OF the first half by Chadwick Olcott
kicked clean goal. and the score stood
to 0 for Yale. That Yale feels weak at
Kicking was plainly shown in the latter
part of the second half. when. with but
a few minutes left to play. the ball was
only twenty yards from and directly in
front of Amhsrst's goal but a goal from
the field was not attempted.
