Bound Over.


Upon examination yesterday before
Judge Greer, Thos. J. Holland, en-
sineeF Of engine Al, which ran over
and xii ed b. l.. Jones near the foot
Of Market street Tuesday last, was
held to answer in the sum of $500
for feloniouS homicide. he promptly
gave the bond required and resumed
his place at the railway. 1t was shown
that engine Al, at the time of the
tragic accident, was running about 6
miles an hour, that the fireman and
bell-riDgeF was Oililg the engine, and
that Mr.. Holland tried to stop it, using
both hands ieF the purpose, after
turning the curve, therefore he
neither rung the bell, nor
blew the warning whistle, then
running into and crushing the victim
beneath the engine or tender wheels,
before he knew Of its approach. The
engineer was DEFENDED by Mr.. Holmes
Cuumins and L. Il. Wright, It is
asserted by those who know Mr.. Hol>
land, and we're earnest friends of the
late Mr.. Jones, that Holland is an
unusually cautious man, and that he
handles his engine about the yards in
way to frequently attract the atten-
ton Of the men who labor there,
and they haYe more than once
spoken Of the wstchfulness and
guarded conduct of Holland. At the
same time, it is said that his engine is
a nar,,, ,na tn stnp or horAI. g.,
members Of the Odd Fellows Lodge,
Of which Mr.. Jones was an esteemed
member, say they know young Holland
well, and that he is both competent
and careful, and they all expressed
belief that an impartial examination
would show that he was not culpable
when Mr.. Jones met his death.
Another thing, however, all were
agreed upon, and that is that tho
railway yard and track in the vicinity
of the accident is numbered up with
debris and distractions which ought
to be removed. There are numerous
piles Of dirt, briokbsts and other
objects which blockade the passage
way, and are calculated to contribute
toward accidents to human an animal
life. The track on each side and the
switches should DO cleared away at
once.

Curtis is now in Jail here

Laid 60 Rest.

All that was mortal of the late Il.
L. Jones, killed by railway engine on
Tuesday last, were laid in Odd Fell
lows Rest at Elmwood Cemetery
yesterday afternoon. His brethren of
ChiCkasaW Lodge, l. o. o. f., also the
Knights Of Pythias, turned out in the
rsealia Of their respective societies,
and escorted the body to the grave.
Tbs ocrtsgs was led BY 3 band of
music which, IS It moved down Main
street. performed a solemn
march suited to the sad
occasion, and "a number
of carriages occupied BY relatives and
friends of the fair lady who had for
some time been the betrothed bride
of the deceased. Before the pro.
cession moved from the undertaker's
at the corner of Second and Adams
streets religious services were held
over the body and a touching scene
followed as the brethren and friends
of the lamented gentleman filed
around the coffin to look upon the
mangled form Of the dead victim.
The religious services we're con-
Quoted by the Rev. H. A. Jones, Of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
who, in few remarks after reading
the ninth Psalm, paid a.
fitting tribute to the char
acter Of the deceased. He said
the large assemblage present attested
the respect in which the deceased was
held by his friends. 1t was too often
the custom for ministers to eulogize
the dead, to exalt and over estimate
their virtues and hide their faults, but
the deceased was a man true to every
trust repOsed in him, man who had
ennobled work by his integrity and
fidelity.
Months ago prominent official Of
the railroad company had expressed a
desire for the speaker to form the ac.
qnaintance of the deceased and that he
felt personal solicitude for his wei.
fare. The deceased was sincere in his
friendships, warm and generous to his
friends and sincerely loved by all who
knew him. And now, though far
away from his island home, in land
Of strangers, kind and loving hands
would bear him to his grave. The
sudden end OF the deceased was
warning to each Of us to take the
language Of the Psalmist to our hearts,
and say: Lord, make me to know my
end, the measure Of my days, that l
may know how frail am"
Alter a prayer the remains were
placed in the hearse, ard the latter
was escorted to Elmwood where,a be-
fore remarked, the body was deposited |
in the last resting place Of the Odd
Fellows. The services at the grave
we're in accordance with the rites OF
the Knights Of Pythias and the order
of Odd Fellows. The deceased was
a member of Unity Lodge, Knights
of Honor, Equity Lodge, A. 0. U. W.
and the Odd Fellows. The sum Of
$4,000, which the several benevolent
societies are to pay, is all understood
to bein favor of thef father and mother
of Mr.. Jones, who are still living in
Wales, The deceased was something
above thirty years Of age at the time
Of his death. The flag on Odd Fell
lows Hall was half masted all of yes
terday, as sad token Of respect to his
memory.
