Mr. Adams was a native of Washington, having been born in that section of the city known as the Navy Yard on September 1, 1845. Much of his education was received at Young's, In 1861 he was living in Providence, R. L, aud the samo spirit which had some time previously impelled him to membership in one of the District militis companies brought about his enlistment in a Khode id regiment. With this organization he saw a good deal of field service, participating fn the battle of Fredoricksburg. After nearly a year's service im the fleld he was attached to the provost marshal’s office. in this city and here he remained until the close of the war. After the grand review was over he went west, locating for some time at Omaha, where he was employed by the Union Pacific company. While thus engaged he witnessed the driving of the gold spike which joined the tracks of the Union and Central Pacific roads. After an absence of about three years he re- turned to this city and entered the servieo of Messrs. Green & Williams, furniture dealers. He remained with that firm until he saw an op- portunity todosomething for himself. With £300 ‘of borrowed capital hestarted anewsstand. Then ho advertised and worked incessantly.
