$fO, 900 FIRE IN WESTTILLE
West Rock Wagon Works Burned to
 the Ground.

About 9 o'clock last evening fire broke out in the carriage shop of John P. Houser at 1S-24 Diamond street, Westville, better known as the West Rock wagon works, and in about two hours burned the building to the ground, causing damage to the extent of at least $10000.
 The fire started in the third story of the building There was fire in a small stove on this floor and the orig in of the fire Is thought to be centered in this. Christie Handy, painter, was the first to see the fire. He aroused the only members of the Houser family who were at home, MT. and Mrs. Jo- seph Houser. They telephoned to the Westville Hose company, which arrived as quickly as was possible under the circumstances. Chief Dingwall on see ing the rapid progress of the flames saw nothink could save the building and that their efforts should go to- wards saving the house and barn They were none too soon, for the immense flames from the burning building had already ignited the house. The furni- ture and household equipment were soon out on the street, and everyone was busy employing himself to the task of saving the homestead. Forum ately the wind was blowing in the di- rection of the house from the barn, and the fire which threatened to rage the house to the ground was checked.
 MT. John Houser, the owner of the building, was in this city at the time of the fire, and on hearing of it hasten ed back to Westville in his sleigh. When nearly home he fell from the sleigh and sprained his ankle. The shock of his great loss was a great blow to him. and he tottered when he entered his home.
 The carriage shop was insured, and the loss is partly covered. The build- ing, which was three-sbory building, was built eight years ago. The first floor was used as a blacksmith shop the second asa wood working shop, and the third, where the fire originated was filled with all sorts of paints and oils, which were of considerable assist ance to the spreading of the flames.
 Mir. Houser has been in the carriage business for about sixteen years. His
 former shop was at 1, and Main street. This was his first fire.

ROCKEFELLER HAS ONLY
 JUST BEGUN ID GIVE.
OPINION OF PRESIDENT BUCK HAM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
 TERMONT.

Oil King n shrewd Business Man and
 Wants the Best for His Money
 Others May Think it Profitable Way
 of Wealthy Men Turning
 Their Eyes to Colleges Instead of the
 Churches.
 New York, Feb. S.--John D. Rocke- feller has only comme9ced his plan to give large sums to educational pur- poses, if the prophesy of Dr. H. M. Buckham, president of the University of Vermont, comes true. Speaking at the annual banquet tonight of the uni- versity's alumni at the Hotel Astor, Dr. Buckham said;
 MT. Rockefeller has given an enor- nous sum to the cause of education, and we may feel sure that this is only the beginning of his work along this line. He is shrewd business man, and we may feel sure that he gave this enormous sum recently after he had given the subject great study. He wants the best for his money, and he evidently feels that this is the best way to invest a part of his great wealth.
 "Shrewd business men will watch the colleges and universities that partake of the great gift, and, if they do well, cannot but feel that this is a profitable way of investment.
 These rich men have reaped great fortunes by their wisdom and constant effort. From steel and oil and pork and cattle and other products of the earth they have massed great fortunes. By giving great sums to the cause of learn ing they are looking into the future. They are giving to the cause of learn ing that which they were able to get out of the products of the earth.
 Tn seeking profitable investment wealthy men turn their eyes upon the field before them. They do not favor giving the churches, as it is likely to pauperize them. Hospitals are prof itable form of endowment, but there is always danger of this form of endow- ment being overdone. There seems, therefore, to be only one profitable in- vestment to which their material pos sessions can be utilized for the highest welfare of the community-thati is, to help tha places of learning and thus help the coming generation" c. w. Alger, pr. J. H. Woodward, Professor Frederick Tupper and Dr. J. H. Jackson, dean of the medical fac lulty of the university and former gov ernor of Vermont, also spoke.

 None of the passengers was danger ously wounded, though two sustained injuries necessitating their removal to a hospital here
 There are three trwacks at the point where the accident occurred. A freight train that preceded the express had been switched from the main north- bound track to the middle track to al- low the express to pass, and was pro- ceeding slowly as the express approach | ed. The snow and consequent slippery condition of the rails is supposed to have been responsible for the accident, for the engineer of the freight was ur1- able to stop his train before the loco motive had taken the switch at the northern terminus of the third track and half crossed the main track direct l ly in the path of the passenger train. The express engine struck the freight engine, and, shunting off, rolled over the embankment. The coaches follow ing were deraied, but did not overturn. The passengers were hurled about in- side the cars, most of their injuries be- ing in the nature of bruises and cuts. | Traffic was blocked throughout the night,

They were Frank Hopper, of Fishkill Landing, an em- poye of the road, whose back was strained and who also suffered lacera- | tions, and John J. Mccarthy, of Brook lyn, whose shoulder was injured and one leg badly bruised. Neither man was dangerously hurt, and they will be able to leave the hospital in day or two.
 The only others so injured as to re- quire medical attention were treated in the cars where they remained. They were but slightly hurt, their injuries being chiefly from flying bits of glass. They were: Mrs Ann F. Ankers PAS Madison avenue, Albany N. Y; Fred erick Herrer Union club, New York city, and Mrs Andrew Bell, Newberg, N. Y.
 The Adirondack express was made up of three sleepers, two day coaches one baggage car and private car.

DISCHARGED NEGRO
 SERGEANTS TESTIFY
SHARPEST KIND OF CROSS. EXAMINATION FAILS TO
 TRAP THEM

Senator's Remark at Conclusion That
 They Believe Witnesses to he Hon.
 est Men---In Fifteen Years Service
 in Cuba, the Philippines and thc
 United States One of Them Had
 Never Been Disciplined OF Put in the
 Guard House.
 Washington, Feb. S.--Walker McCur- dy, formerly quartermaster sergeant fo Go. B, of the battalion of negro soldiers discharged for the alleged shooting up" of Brownsville. Texas, who had charge of the issuance of anmunation, and former Sergeant Jackson of the same company, who had charge of the quarters and the keys to the gun racks on the night of the affray, were witnesses to-day before the senate coni- mittee on military affairs. Both men gave clear accounts of their duties on that night and the sharpest kind of cross-examination failed to trap them in any way.
 Both Senators Warner and Foster, who conducted the cross-examination, remarked at the conclusion that they believed the witnesses to be honest men and frank on the stand.
 After MCurdy told his story Senator Hemenway asked: Have you told all you know regarding the affair? Are you trying to conceal anything?"
 MCurdy insisted that he had told all he knew and thta he desired that the whole truth should be known. He said that he had served more than sixteen years in Co. B, in Cuba, the Philippines and the United States, and that he had frequently been under fire.
 Then you are not satisfied with the character of discharge you received ?" asked Mir. Hemenway.
 ''No sir, am not" replied NI'Curdy. T had done nothing to be punished for. Let them punish the guilty parties and not the innocent. have never been punished before
 On further examination it developed that M Curdy, in his entire service, nev- CT had been in the guard house or dis ciplined in any way.
 During the examination of the witt ness as to the power of penetration of the service ammunition used in the Springfield rifles, Senator Foraker said. It would shoot clear through a house., would it not?n
 The witness replied aff1rmatively.
 The question coming from Senator Foraker created some little surprise as |Ithat is what the war department off, cials have claimed was done-that army bullets were shot clear through house.
 The witness was not examined concerning the remark.
 At the opening of the afternoon hear- ing the examination of George Jackson. a sergeant of Go. B, was concluded. He had been on the stand the entire morn- ing, under examination concerning the manner in which he had kept the gun racks. for which he had keys, on the night of the shooting. On cross-exan- nation he admitted he had heard that government ammunition had been found to have been used in the shooting. but said that the story surprised him very much. and if any was used he could not understand how it could have been secured without detection.

EVELYN NESBIT THAW
 TELLS MORE OF HER LIFE
RECIPES STORY TO JURY JUST AS SHE TOLD IT TO HER
 HUSBAND.

Narrative Brought Down to the Wed-
 ding at Pittsburg--Declares White
 Pursued Her After She Had Been
 Married-JerOme Protests Against
 "The Defamation of the Dead"--Aslzs
 if There is No Limit.
 New York, Feb. S.-.Evelyn Nesbit Thaw again to-day was the central fig ure at her husbands trial. She was still on the stand-her direct examina- tion unfinished--when the usual week end adjournment until Monday morn ing was taken
 Picking up the threads of her life's story where she had dropped them the evening before, the girl wife of the de- fendant-always she declared, telling her story just as she had related it to Harry Thaw from time to time brought the narrative down to her wed- ding in Pittsburg on April 4, 19O5 and their return to New York following a honeymoon trip in the west. She de- clared she had heard White call to her on the street once after this, and that on another occasion, when she passed him in q cab, she noticed his cab turn around and follow her in the direction of a doctors office, where she was go- ing to have her throat treated.
 Mrs. Thaw had taken up the story at the time of her trip from Europe in october. 1903, following her refusal of Thaws offer of marriage on the grounds which she related yesterday. On Monday she may be called upon to finish the relation of the events which, it is claimed, brought on the explosive impulse in the diseased brain of the de- fendant and caused the killing of Stan ford White.
 While to-day's testimony was lacking in the vital personal quality which made yesterdays recital so dramatic, so impelling, enthralling and pathetic, it served to clear away somefpf the doubts and inferences which remained from the incomplete details as to the full extent of the revelation she claims to have made to her husband There were repetitions, too, at the suggestion of counsel, and incidents which had not been gone over in the first years of Mrs. Thaw's acquaintance with Stanford White were brought out in completion of the life story.
 District Attorney Jerome, who had l throughout silently listened to the young wifes statements, sent thrill of excitement through the court room in the day by jumping to his feet and viz orously protesting against this defam- alton of the dead"
 lis there no limit he exclaimed, ito the aspersions that are to be cast upon this man? Your honor knows can not, under the law, controvert any statement this witness might make against the memory of Stanford 1 White"
 In tones bitterly sarcastic MT. Jerome spoke of this tattle of the Tenderloin' and declared that the court had the right to limit such testimony until competent evidence has been adduced here to show that this man is, or was,

FRENCH NAVAL DISASTER
ANOTHER CATASTROPHE COST
 ING AT LEAST NINE LIVES

An Explosion on Torpedo Boat, No. 339
 Launched but Short Time Ago
 Technical Naval Committee Aboard
 at the Time--&lfety Tube Bursts as
 She is Returning from Trial.
 L'Orient. France, Feb. S.-There has been another catastrophe in the French navy. This morning an explosion oc- cured on board torpedo boat No. 3S9 and as a result nine men are dead and two sustained injuries.
 Torpedo boat No SS9 was launched but a short time ago, and at the time, of the accident she was undergoing, prior to being placed in commission, her full power steam trial in the roadstead. A technical naval committee was on board at the time. The trial was successful, but as the boat was returning to her anchorage a safety tube forming part of the evaporation apparatus burst and as a result mass of flame was forced into the stokehole where the engineer and cuartermaster and nine stokers were at work. The engineer and eight of the stokers were instantly burned to death. Their bodies were practically reduced to cinders. The other stoker was severely injured The quartermas- ter succeeded in escaping from the hole with superficial burns only. The heason o fthe accident is that the automatic doors that should have closed to pre- vent the return of the flames to the stokehole did not work.
