A Baltimore Countian Pardoned in Ten.

A Baltimore Countian Pardoned in Ten
neSsee.-Some years ago William G.. Jones, son
of the late John Jones, who lived at the head of
Dulany's Valley, near Dances Mill, removed
from this county to Tennessee, where he married
and engaged in farming. Two years ago Jones
had difficulty with neighbor, which resulted
in his shooting and killing the latter. The lead
ing facts of the shooting and subsequent trial,
conviction and pardon of Jones are related as fol-
lows by the Nashville (Tenn.) american of recent
date:
"Probably the happiest woman in the world
yesterday Mrs. Lucy Jones, of McMinn coun-
ty. Gov Bate had signed a pardon for her bus
band, W. g. Jones, who at the last term OF the
court was convicted Granddaughter and sentenced
to five years in the State prison. The case is
most remarkable one and has aroused the interest
and sympathy of the people of McMinn and other
sections.
Clones was farmer, about AZ years0ld origi-
nally from Maryland. He served as volunteer
in the Confederate army. After the war he mar
ried and settled on farm about three miles from
Athens.
"Two years ago Jones killed neighbor named
John Langley. The killing was under peculiar
circumstances. Langley had threatened to kill
Jones on sight The latter had been informed of
these threats by friend and prepared to defend
himself. He waited around the house and later
in the evening went after the COWS. His wife saw
Langley approaching inc nouse' Ono WonI III
and procured revolver, which she thought was
loaded. She told Langley that her husband was
not in. Langley then declared that he would
outrage the ladys person, at the same time de-
claring he would kill Jones. Mrs. Jones snapped
her revolver three times at Langley, who continu
ed to approach. She then began to scream, her
little children clinging to her dress. Jones heard
the call of his wife for help and fastened to the
house. picking up his double barreed shot gun,
which he had left leaning in corner. Langley
turned his attention to Jones. Both men fired,
both missing. Langley got behind fence
Jones STOPPING fired his remaining load at Lang
ley killing him.
SAT the Coroner's inquest Jones was discharged.
Later prosecution was begun. The witnesses
who had heard Langley's threat had left and could
not be found. Uuder the laws Jones wife could
not testify in her husbands defense. Public SEN
timent was strongly with Jones, but under the
circumstances conviction could not be averted
and punishment was fixed at five years in the
penitentiary. Last Wednesday he placed in
the branch prison at Tracy City. Supt. Carter
left, last night for Tracy City, bearing full par
don signed by Gov. Bate.
"Mrs Jones is pleasant, intelligent lady, and
since her arrival in the city has been the guest of
Mrs. ]. C Gaunt She is the mother of four
children The action of the Governor will be APP
proved by the people of McMinn and citizens gen.
orally"

construction of this railway has made accessible
to the citizens of Baltimore one of the most de-
sirabe portions of the county for the selection OF
sites for country residences. Unlike its neigh
Dor, the Northern Central, the Maryland Central
does not wind about between the hills and drop
its passengers at stations in valleys from which
they must climb steep hills to reach their homes,
but it mounts up to high ground and at Lake ave-
nue. four miles from the city, it attains an eleva-
ton which affords an extensive view OF the sur
rounding country in every direction. From this
point northward it crosses from crest to crest of
the hills striding the intervening valleys on
trestle work, till Towsontown is reached. Fine
locations for buildings are found all along this
portion of the route and in close proximity to the
track, which can be reached without the labor OF
climbing up a steep hill as is the case with so
many of the stations on the N. c. R. r., on which
the writer resides.
Leaving Towsontown the Maryland Central
takes an easterly direction till it reaches STAINS
burys gap, and crossing it, passes to the north
side of the ridge, keeping well up towards the
summit and affording fine view from the car
windows of the beautiful valley known by the
homely name of 1imekiln Bottom, as well as the
highlands far away to the northward. From
many points along this portion OF Saters ridge
the range of vision covers a wide extent OF coun-
try. On the east may be seen the Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries with the eastern shore, on
the south the hills of Anne Arundel, while on the
west the view extends to the western borders of
the county. The great eevation'of the country
traversed by the Maryland Central, its pure air
and water and freedom from malarious influences,
as we'll as from the insect pest so annoying in
many rural districts, should commend it to all
who desire to secure pleasant country home,
either permanent or for the summer months, and
it cannot fail, when its advantages become known,
to attract large body of the business men Of
| Baltimore who wish home in the country with
convenient daily access to the city. Y y =

That Will bo Appreciated by All Who care

1t is not generally known that the nervous

skin, but this is a fact known TO medical men
who have given much of their time to the
study OF diseases of tie skin. No one can
have q clear and fair complexion, unmiXed
with blOtches or pimples who is very nerve us.
Whatever tends to a healthy condition OF
the nervous system always beauties
the complexion and removes roughness and
dryness of the skin. Some skin diseases are
not attended by visible signs on The surface
but an intolerable itching that renders life
miserable

great confidence, and 1t Is regarded as very
generous act on the doctors part to make
known and prepare for general use his vaua-

OF skin diseases, after having devoted almost
his entire lite to the study and treatment
nervous and skin diseases, in which he took
