VERY POPULAR MAN.
ID -EOes without saying that Captain
Zones was the most popular man in Brad
Cock and anyone having a doubt in the
maI,ai would be quickly relieved on visit
ing tHat borough Of IRON. Everywhere
kindly expressions Of pity and sympathy
were heard for the gallant soldier on his
deuthbed and everywhere were allusions
made to his goOdheartedness, his kind
ness 10 ms men, and his care for the
suffering and the poor Many were the
tales told OF the widows and orphans
whom he had succorud, and whom lac
made happy in permanent houses Of their
own. in every case drawing on his private
resources to aid in these charitable works,
and doing it all in the quiet, business-like
way so characteristic of the man. As he
himself was generous and just, he desired
that those Under his control should be
likewise.
One instance was related, dealing with
an episode that occurred during the strike
OF some six years back. At that time the
men who were out were at the end of

strikers in TINS way was an old and dis

world, eked out an existence by running
small grocery store.

inn with them for three OF -four years, the
old grocer concluded he would state his
case To the captain He did so, and each
Of the deIinquenJs was called up before
the Gallant soldier whoread them a severe
lecture on their want Of manhness and
common honesty, and concluded by in
forming them that unless they made ar
engagements 10 pay of their Indebtedness
IN monthly installmens they should have
10 lind work elsewhere. The lesson was
zalulary and the men paid mp. lhiswas
