From the American Machinist.1
In our issue of October 10 we gave a brief re-
view of the life of Captain William R. Jones
as an engineer. On another page of this issue
we publish an article written by his friend, Mr..
]. F. Holloway, that gives glimpse of his life
as a man. Every one who reads this tribute
will be impressed with the fact that great as
was the engineer, the man was greater. AS an
engineer, he dealt with the rough forces of
nature, bending them to his purposes in man.
ner corresponding to their characteristics. As
a man, he dealt with the finer phases of life,
and with more than equal success.
As an engineer, Captain Jones was known the
world over. AS q man, the writer has put
aside corner of the drapeIy, and shown us
something of the inner life. 1t is more than
pleasant-it is instructive-to look at this
through the unveiled opening. A knowled of the
man increases our admiration of the engineer.

HOTELS NOT JAILS.

Some of the jails in this neighborhood are
adapted for almost any purpose but keep
ing prisoners in confinement. 1t seems
rather hard upon the Aimsy, ill-guarded
structures to make them pose as prisons.
They are really houses of call for criminal
characters, to which they may resort or
from which they may depart with equal
ease and freedom. To the homeless and
lazy tramp these so-called jails must appear
veritable havens of repose and refreshment,
providentially provided for his use.
The Jail at New Castle has shone with an
undying luster as restaurant and hotel for
bad characters these many years. The
breaking of that Jail has come to be regarded
as an event of no more significance than
daybreak. In fact it is said that the head
jailer has obtained a patent on gay jest
which be springs upon his assistant daily,
that is in some way, we forget exactly how,
connected with breakfast and breaking jail.
This being the case, the Sheriff was not sur
prised, of course, when one of seven prisoners
who cut their way out of durance vile yes
terday morning announced the Jail delivery
to him. 1t was the most natural thing in
the world. The wonder is that the prisoners
of their own free will consented to stay in
their cells SO long. The Jail seems to have
great attractions, for two of the escaped
criminals returned.
1t is apt to strike the farmers of Lawrence
county as regrettable that three men named
Ward, Kissenger and Millison were among
those who walked out of jail. This trio
terrorized Lawrence county few months
ago by daring burglaries. But the good
agriculturists must not be too hard upon
the New Castle Jail. 1t seems to be dear
old thing,

GOOD TIMBER A NUISANCE.
Thousands of Acres of Fine Woodland
Robbed of Their Value.

Robbed of Their Value.
SYRACUSE, n. Y. October l7.-Atthe session
of the Carriage Builders National Association
yesterday an important report on timber sup
ply was submitted. Among other things the
report says:
1t seems incredible that there should be any
place in this country where good timber was con-
sidered nuisance, and the land worth more with
1t of than with 1t on yet such is the case all
through the South in the heavily wooded districts
and this leads to destruction of the trees by a
method called ''deadenIng,' by chopping into
the trees all round at convenient distance from
the ground, thus killing them. and there they
stand, silent witnesses of an unwlse and destruc-
tive policy. The extent to which this Is done is
surprising. Thousands of acres OF timber are thus
sacrificed every year, not in the south only, for
in the State of Ohio we have as fine hidkories
as ever grew thus destroyed. 7
