Jones, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus Of Chem
ishy in Washington Jefferson College,
died at an early hour this morning. He
has been in iil.health for some time and
his death was not q surpriss, yet It caused
genuine sorrow.
Professor Jones was 4 native OF ireland.
He was educated at the University Of
Dublin, where he distinguished himself
in all his studies-p particularly by the
classics, and Is said TO have won every
Latin and Greek prize open to him. After
leaving the university he went TO London
and taught there for a short time. Then
he came to America. In 1852 he became
q Professor in Jefferson College, where he
remained until the union Of Washington
and Jefferson. BE was offered and &C.
cepsed 3 chair in the new institution, and
he remained connected with It until his
death. Upon his retirement from active
college work in, 1873, he endowed four
prizes-two in Latin and Greek and two
IN chemistry.
Prof. Jones was somewhat eccentric and
he never told anyone OF his early LIE.
The date Of his birth and the year Of his
graduation from che university are un-
known even 70 his fellow professors with
whom he has been intimately associated
for q third OF century.
His attainments were wonderful. He
could repeat FROM memory the whole OF
Virgil and Homer. Il is said that former
ly when he conducted the religious ex.
ercises in the college chapel. he would
read from the original Greek, gracefully
tranSlating at SIGHT. In chemistry, too,
his inventive genius and skillrendered all
his experiments eminently successful.
His bHghtand polished wit, his pleasant
and aaable manner, and his erudite learn
ing made him loved and respected by his
students, all OF whom are now alumni.
rhrough.respecti for Prof Jones memory
the college exercises OF to-day were sus-
pended, the literary societies adjourned
and the Olympic. contest OF the Junior
and Sophomore classes was postponed
until Tuesday.
, The funeral services will be held to-
morrow and the remains will be interred

THE AK oFv1LAs
Drops the Heads Of Thirteen Postal CLERKS,
Injustice OF the Discharge.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 22.-Tha Demo-
cratic az fell yesterday, and thirteen Re
publican railway postal clerks walked out
OF the mail cans In Pittsburgh with their
heads under their arms. They had passed
through all the tests and earned their
places. Two Of them had additional
claims on the Government, claim made
over twenty years ago, when they fought
for the preservation OF the. Nation, but
they had TO go that Democrats could be
given their places.
The men who were di.nissed are ]. T.
Harper, Captain H. A. Ayres, Messrs.
Popple, Ettle, Boyd, Kennedy, Hamiller,
Harley, Findley, White, Harrison, Mil
lington and Hoover. They were all PRO
bationers," who had passed the examlna-
ton and served the length Of time neces-
sary TO enable them TO hold their posi-
tons. But their places were wanted to
reward partisans Of the class approved by
the reform Democratic administration
and rules and promises were set aside.
Within week another lot viii be served
the same way.
Some OF the men were surprised when
notified that they had been discharged,
and especially when no reason was assign
sd. Shortly after Colonel Villas took his
heat he isued an order to the railroad postal
flerks In which he outlined the policy he
Intended to pursue. He said that the rail-
way postal clerk was Obliged to pass IN
examination more seysre than that re-
quirtd fer admission to the bar, that con-
slant study was necessary to stand the tests
applied to the service, and that any man
who proved himself competent would
hold his position regardless Of his political
feelings This was made to apply particu:
larry 70 "probationers," who were assured
that they would be retained il they studied
and stood the examinations.
While injustice was done the men,
there were two whose discharge was a
general surprise. These were J. T. Har.
per, OF Mansfield, and Captain e. A.
Ayres. Both were Union soldiers, and
were rated as the very best men in the

APEcUL1AnLY sAp CASE. .
A Cruelty Deserted wife Hunting for
sister In PittsburEh.


Sister In PittsburEa.
PrrrsBuRaH, Pa, May 22.-Last night q
small, paled-faced neatly dressed woman
entered the Twelfth ward station house,
carrying a aten.months-old infant in her
arms. She merely asked the Captain IL
she might occupy one of the cells until
morning. She said her name was
Mrs. Ferguson and that she belonged to
Steubenville. She told a pitiful story OF
her husband heartlessly deserving her.
She had no friends In Steubenville to
whom she could apply for assistance.
As last resort, when her small sum
Of money had dwindled to almost
nothing, she purchased a ticket
and came to this city. She had sister,
abe said, named Mrs. Meyers, who lived
in this vicinity, but Just where she did
not know. all day yesterday, she
walked over the city inquiring for her
sister. Finally when evening came,
hungry, weary, and almost heartbroken,
she was at last compelled TO seek a
resting place at the station house. This
morning she picked up the babe, and again
started out in quest OF her sister. ..1f l
don't find her, y she pleaded, may come

THE pfrrsBuRsH TRAGEDY.
sisters Of the Dead Man Hsartbroken4Ths
victims Buried.

PrTTsprRou, May q. The crowd OF the
curious kept coming and going all the
morning through the open doors Of Elan.
nery's undertaking establishment, where
the body ofpoor young Franz Karlina lay
in a pauper's coffin; awaiting paupers
burial. From early morning up till noon
the two young sisters Of the boy kept
watch over the body, and whenever the
coffin lid was raised to allow the curious
sight Of the suicide, the two girls would
break out into cries and lamentations.
They had stayed with the body since It's
removal to the rooms yesterday. At mid
night, last night, they were persuaded to
90 home, though they did SO unwillingly.
The two girls, Of % and Is years, are heart
broken over the death Of their brother.
!.Poor Franz, = said the younger one, Bar
bara, this morning, five enly had money
enough TO bury him as we would like.
Six weeks ago we sent him every cent we
could get to bring him here. We have
nothing left"
Michael Leipzig, the father Of the little
girl; whose death formed the other part OF
the double tragedy, was at the under
taking rooms this morning while the two
girls were there. He seemingly took as
much interest in the dead boy as II he was
his own Son. 81 don't know what TO think
of that boy there" he sid as he
pointed to the body Of Franz, at may
have been accidental, but 1 can't believe
It, somehow or other. It may have been
done pnrposely, and ] am sure ! don't
know why he should have done It. But
It's all over now"
The bodies Of both the victims were
buried this afternoon. Karlina's body
was Inferred in the Rslletield Cemetery at
the expense Of the county. Little Lizzie
Leipzig was buried in the: Trinity Catholic |
at 1 o'cioek. rs
At the conclusion Of the inquest last
evening, the jury found that the little
lirfs death was accidental, aud that OF |
karlina was suicide, Just how the sad
Affair happened was not clearly ascertain

THE IRON SCALE.

ss,sra, Point. &c Has Hsrs.esoss Insisted
Upon. and Present. New seais-con-
es..ions Asked Of the Manufacturer.
Who arc Not Aptto Grant Them.

Plr1sDuRoH, Pa, May 22.-The appar
emit deadlock in the scale question has a
last been broken by the workers with
request for another conference. While
the manufacturers were in session yester
day the Amalgamated Association had q
representative on the watch, The Anal
gamated officials, learning by their man
that the manufacturers were likely to ad'
journ without q move toward another
conference, decided to take the step them
selves. Between 4 and o'clock the EN-
ployers were leaving their rooms when
messenger entered with package fol
Secretary Weeks. The package contained
Y request for another conference, and also
several copies OF the scale as revised by
the workers. In few moments the mat
ter was arranged and 9 o'clock this after
noon fixed as the hour at which another
conference should be held.
The scale, as now arranged by the
workers, proposes that the price OF bar
iron shall continue to be the basis Of
wages, but that the card rate, instead OF
stopping at 2.5 cents, shall run down TO 9
o.
less puddlers shall receive S. per ton.
The scales regulating the wages Of other
workmen start at the same point, and the
whole involves the acceptance on the part
OF the workmen OF 3 reduction in wages
equal TO nearly 10 percent On the other
hand, TO reach an agreement the manu-.
tacturers must drop the Sixty days"
clause and the "unlimited" !" feature OF their
scale.
The Conference Committee of Manu-
facturers and Ironworkers held q meeting
at 9 o'clock this afternoon, TO consider the
scale which was handed to the manu-
fsctnrers yesterday afternoon. Little
could be learned previous to the meeting
OF what would likely result from It. Both
sides, as usual, were reticent regarding the
plans OF the committee. The meeting was
held with closed doors.
From what could be learned It would
seem that the scale, as presented, will not
be acceptable 10 the manufacturers. One
OF them, speaking about it to-day, said
that the scale was not q reduction from
the one now in force, with the exception
Of one kind Of work, where it was an s
percent reduction from the present price.
aThe new scale will not be accepted
said he, .sandI I don't think very much
will be accomplished by the meeting this
afternoon"
The conference Of the iron manutactur.
ers and workmen adjourned tonight Ut
IL o'clock to meet again tomorrow,
no definite conclusion having been
reached. The session to-day lasted nearly
eight hours, and is said to have been very
harmonious. 1tis expected that to-mor-
rows meeting will result in satisfactory
settlement OF all differences.

Netis, and Of the steamer Mary Louisa, Of
New Castle, Capt. Greff, from New York
TO Liverpool. Capt. Anderson, OF the Bay

orders, to Metis. The vessel met with
variable weather until midnight OF the 9th
Of May, when with the weather thick and
fogey and very dark, she ran into the Ice
near the banks Of Newfoundland. The
vessel was completely surrounded by
heavy Ice and ieebergs. The crew re-
mained on board until Tuesday, when the
icebergs came laundering against the
bark, completely surrounding her
and smashing in her port side.
They then took TO boats, and went on the
ice, barely escaping with their lives, and
saving uothing whatever. They remained
three days and three nights ON the ice,!
from Thursday afternoon until Sunday
morning. All the provision they were
able 70 save, was a bag OF bread, aud this,
with fresh water found on the ice, formed
their diet.
