Another man, re turned from Florida to the Jast Side yes terday with a story of peonage in Florida, and another letter has been received from a man there begging aid. There are still 60 immigrants who are known to have started for the Florida camps within the last six months, who have not been heard of since. David Krlll, who lived with his sister, Mrs. Jennie Abramowitz, came home after an absence in Florida of several weeks. When he left this city for the turpentine camps he was In good health. When he came home yesterday his sister did not recognize him, and attempted to drive him out of her flat. His back was black and blue, and still marked with deep red shears where he said he had been whipped. He had been taken to Jacksonville, he said, and from there to Mateo. He was then carried to a camp In the woods, where there were huts and negro guards At the end of two weeks, he said, he found that he owed the company 524 above his promised Jf2 a week. He was till strong, and decided to escape. He ran away one night, and in the morning found that he was lost. Later in the day he was recaptured and beaten. - The next morning while he was at work in the swamp, one of those with whom he had shared the company stores slipped $30 to him, which he said he kept hidden In a boot. This man did not dare to escape, but he begged Krlll to take the money,, and If possible to get North so as to tell of the horrors of the slave camp. That night when he saw the guards were asleep, Krill slipped through the lines and managed to reach a city. He worked his way as far as Baltimore, and from there walked to his sisters' home in this city. Mrs. Bernard Sklut, of 292 Cherry street, received the following letter from her son yesterday, dated Mobile, Ala.: "I do not dare to give the exact place where I am.' This is written at night and forwarded by a friend in greater dan ger than I am. If he should be caught with it he would be killed like a hog, as others have been. I escaped and walked 100 miles In four days, when I was found and brought back and beaten. One thing I would say, and that is that the negroes would not do It if they were not afraid of the white men." Finds No Trace of Peonage. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Aug. 1. P.
