Of alcohol as one of the causes of the

EASTMAN ON THE STAND.
Harvard Instructor Declares Ills Brotin-
 er-tn-Iaw,s Death Was Accidental.

Cambridge, Mass, May 7.-The cli- max in the Eastman murder trial was
 reached to-day when the defendant
 himself took the stand to tell his own in the choss examination combat with
 the attorney general. A court room crowded to sufffocation with attorneys and interested Cambridge citizens, both women and men, saw Eastmans lead ing counsel carefully direct the accus- ed man to the minor events of his life and that dreadful tragedy which will ever be it's chiefest feature. The spec tators saw Eastman calmly relate his acquaintance with Grogan, which he declared was always pleasant saw his horror and emotion as he told of the tragedy, and his grief when he related the death bed scene on the evening Of the last Fourth of July. Eastman's story was clear and concise, and he wavered but little.
 He declared that the shooting was an accident and that up to last Octo- Der he had always believed that it was the old rim fire pistol that discharged the bullet which killed his brother-in- law. The struggle which followed, he said, was for the possession of the center fire pictol, which Grogan had in his hand. Eastman said that he went to Grogan first to assist him and then, because of the expression on his face, to get the weapon away from him. He said that there was so much noise and confusion in that struggle that he could not recall how many times Grogan's revolver went off. But that 1t did go was off almost certain. He did not know how he received his own wound, but that he did every thing possible af- ter the affair to assist Grogan into the house and was prostrated with grief when he found that he was dying.

INTERCOLLEGLATE GOLF.
Yale Easily Defeats Pennsylvania and
 Harvard Vanquishes Princeton.

1 Atlantic City, N. J., May 7.-In the in- 1 tercollegiate golf tournament which 1 opened to-day on the Northfield golf links and which will continue until Sat-
 urday when the finals will be played, Harvard won an easy victory over Princeton by the score of twenty four to one. The only Princeton survivor in the playing was Wilson, who beat Aver ell by one up.
 In the match between Yale and the University of Pennsylvania the Quakers really were never in it. Yale ran up the total of 46 up.
 Harvard and Columbia met in the af- ternoon and this proved the most inter- esting event of the series of the day. Harvard carried off the honors with thirteen up. Columbia's team won two match plays, Jackson beating Lindsley by three up and Wood beating Curtis by two up.
 The playing to-day was for eighteen holes. The semi-final tomorrow be- tween Harvard and Yale will be for thirty-Six holes. The weather was bright and there were a large number of spectators. The tournament is the first here since 1899, when Pyne cap tured the trophy. Pyne did not play to-day in his usual form. During prac- tice he beat to-day's score on the North field links by nine.

CAMERA FIENDs ARBEsTED.
Two Men Who Photographed the Con- stitution. One Escapes With Plates.

Bristol R. l., May 1.-Three New York newspaper artists were caught on a wharf at the Herreshoffs' yard to- day taking photographs of the Consti- tuition and the officers and crew of the yacht.
 The watchman first saw the men, who had reached the wharf in boats, and he hurried to the spot to order off the intruders Some objection was made by the artists, and in the midst of the controversy John B. Herreshoff appeared He was very angry, and he at once took matters into his own hands. He directed the watchman to seize one of the cameras, while he mov- ed toward another. One artist offered resistance and MT. Herreshoff seized him by the throat and forced him to give up his instrument
 Meanwhile the third man had jumped into a boat and escaped with his cam era and pictures Mr. Herreshoff di- rected his watchman to take his man to small building in the yard and he took the other to the same place. The men were locked up, the chief of police was called and the men were taken to the station. The boat builder, however, retained the cameras and destroyed the plates. Later the two men arrested were released with reprimand.

JACKsONTILLE,s HOMELESS.
Fewer People Compelled to Sleep Upon
 Streets.

l Jacksonville, Fla, May 7.-The almost
 superhumane work of the different com
 mittees has somewhat relieved the situ-
 ation and 1t is now believed that in ev- fery instance those without food and 1 clothing were in a measure provided 1 for to-day and that there was fewer people who were compelled to sleep up-
 on the streets tonight.
 Two hundred tents were erected to- day and while they were very crowded tonight and several churches and schoolhouses in the suburbs also were
 crowded with sleepers, this condition
 will be relieve5 tomorrow by the ar rival of 2,000 tents from the general gov-
 ernment at Washington and before to-
 morrow night there will be several
 tented villages in the city with cots
 break of sickness, in the city and the several cases of nervous prostration which have been reported are now we'll on the way to recovery.
 The cleaning up of the streets has been going on rapidly, telephone con- nections with the undamaged part of the city has been resumed in almost every district and the wires which encum- bered the streets are now cleared away. The street car service has been running in the western part of the city as far east as Julia street. but there is no ser vice in the north or the east.
 Clouds of smoke still enevlop the city from the smouldering embers of the confiagration, but many of the build- ings have been sufficiently cooled off to allow the safes to be opened and the books and papers of great many con- cerns have been found only slightly scorched In other cases so intense was the heat that iron safes failed to pro- tect the money or papers. Twelve car loads of provisions arrived tonight from New York and are now at the depot, where they will be unloaded. No more dead bodies have been found though a systematic search has not yet begun.
