DEATH OF A GREAT eolroR.
The Man Who Accomplished Tweed's
Downfall Goes to Eternal Rest.

The Man Who Accomplished Tweed's
Downfall Goes to Eternal Rest.
POLAND SPRINGS, Me-, Aug. 13.-George
Jones, editor and proprietor of the New
York Times, died at this place yesterday
morning about two hours after the de-
cease of James Russell Lowell at Cam
bridge, Mass. Mr.. Jones illness had
taken a serious turn = week ago, hslt up
to within few days there were strong
hopes of his recovery. But he was SO
years old, and long life of hard work
was behind him. He was born at Poult-
new, VT, in 1911, his father and mother
having emigrated from Wales few years
previously. His parents died when he
was but IL and left him to make his own
way in the world, and right we'll did he
do it.
Early Friendship with Greeley.
At this time Amos Bliss kept coun-
try store and edited newspaper-The
Northern Spectator Shortly after his
parents deaths George Jones entered the
store as errand boy, and about this same
time Horace Greeley became an appren-
tice in the printing office. The two boys
became fast friends at once, and continued
so almost without interruption to the end of
Greeiey's life. In 1881 Greeley went TO
New York and started The Tribune. Two
years later Jones followed him and was
employed in The Tribune counting room,
Henry j. Raymond being at that time a
writer in the editorial room. Raymond
and Jones later started The Times, a~d
when the former died JoGss became the
responsible editor Of that paper.
The Tweed Ring Exposure.
The greatest journalistic strike of the
newspaper, as well as the greatest of the
period, was the expose of the Tweed ring,
which occurred during the three years
following the death of Raymond Jones
secnred The secret accounts of the Tweed
ring, and began . GgiIJ which WAS only TO
end with the complete overthrow of
Tweedism. When, in some way, Tweed
discovered that these accounts were about
to be published in The Times, and he at
once sent an agent to Mr.. Zones with an
offer to buy The Times at any price he
might name; this offer being refused an
offer of s., 900 900 for the suppression of the
accounts was made, but it was likewise
refused.
Later Course of the Paper.
The Times has of late years gradually
cut loose from its Republican connections.
Jones was free trader and civil service
reformer. The latter, however, probably
did not have as much influence IN guiding
| the papers recent course as the former; as
the Republican party is at least as much
in favor of the reform as the Democratic.
But protective tariff was something Jones
was bitterly opposed to. The paper had
always been to certain extent indepen-
dent, and when Blaine vas nominated for
president, believing that he was not an
honest man, Jones refused to support
, him.
Over Fifty Years Married.
Mr.. Jones married in 1896 Miss Sarah
NJ. Gilbert, of Troy. The fftieth or
golden anniversary Of this wedding was
quietly observed in the family of Mr..
Jones in 1886 His surviving children are
