His many friends will be deeply grieved to
learn of the recent painful and distressing
death Of J. H. G. Gross at Joplin, Mo-, Tues
day morning, the 18th inst, the immediate
cause of which was a fall the Saturday
morning previous, about O'Clock, from the
window of his room on third floor of the
Joplin Hetel upon the pavement below,
striking in his fall telegraph wires which
broke the force of the fall and averted i'm
mediate death. Internal abdominal injuries
were inflicted, which resulted in death
about o'clock a. m. the third day there
after, after three days of extreme suffering,
which he bore bravely.
Jabez II. c.. Gross, says tho Chicago
Tribune, was one of the three brothers who
came to Chicago from New Gloucester, Me-,
about a score Of years ago, and hence was
closely identified with Chicagos era Of
prosperity He was, early in the seventies,
with the wellknown commission firm of III.
F. Lewis & Co., to whose business he sue
ceeded. In the memorable period of busi-
ness depression and shaking up Of values
which followed he lost in common with the
majority of enterprising men. Some eight
years ago he went to Weir City to take
charge of the Cherokee Zinc and Spelter
Works, subsequently purchasing the works
from the Boone estate, taking the enterprise
in a desperate condition which would have
almost deferred almost any other man. BY
ind0mitable pluck and unflagging energy he
successfully weathered the storms that have
so mercilessly beaten upon all metal inter
ests during recent years, and had not only
done this, but had extended and developed
the enterprise, and built up, almost single
handed, a little city around the site of his
works. Sanguine, enthusiastic, quick-wit-
his sleeve and if he had faults they were
those of too generous and trusting nature
During all the years of his connection with
western interests he maintained his citizen
ship in this city, keering his residence,
church membership and vote here, and
spending two-Gfths Of his time with his fam
lily.
The remains reached Chicago at p. m.
last Tuesday in the care of his wife, son, and
brother, and were taken to the residence of
Mrs. Gross sister, Mrs. William Hansbor-
ough, No. 3029 Michigan avenue, where the
funeral services were held Wednesday, DIR.

a member, officiating, The interment was

NEGRO VFCILAN ..
They Take Man to the Woods and
Almost Whip Him to Death.

LITTLE Rock, Ark. June 21.-Partieulars
reached here today from Eldorado, Union
county, this State, of some vigilant work by
a band of colored men in that community on
Wednesday night.
A negro named Willis Ferdinand, man OF
education and recognized leader among his
people, a candidate for the legislature, with
a certainty of election. became too familiar
with the wife of one Isham Jones, who went
to Ferdinand and wanted him to desist in
his attentions to his wife.
Ferdinand failed to heed the warning, and
Isham called some half dozen OF his neigh,
bors together on the night above mentioned
and took Ferdinand to the woods, stripped
him to the skin and began beating him to
death, when the sufferers cries brought as
sstance to his relief, who promptly inter
fered and saved his life.
Jones says he went and begged Ferdinand
not to visit his house, and on his refusal to
comply he thought it the cheapest way to get
rid Of the nuisance was to whip him to death
and that he intended to do.
Ferdinand was taken home, where he, is
said to now lie in critical condition, his
back being covered with welts of the size of
a mans finger.
