POLAND SPRINGS, Me-, Aug. 12.-Editor
George Jones of the New York Times died
at o'clock this morning.
The story of George Jones' life is the
story of the founding and building up of
the New York Times. Although Mr.. Jones
had reached the age of forty when he joined
Henry J. Raymond in establishing the
Times, and had already made his way TO
success and a competence in other business
enterprises, his earliest inclinations had
brought him into the field of New York
journalism, and his return to it as founder
and publisher of the Times, was but the
fulfllment of his youthful ambition. From
the day when the first copy Of the Times
was issued to the day of his death, Mr..
Jones has devoted to it, to the exclusion of
all other interests and affairs, his undivided
time and energies. His success has been
the success of the journal he has controlled.
His honorable career and repute are inSep-
arably associated with the career and
standing of his newspaper. A complete
history of Jones' management of the Times
would of necessity include history of the
Tweed ring, which was broken up by the
Times.
Jones had secured the secret accounts of
the Tweed ring and had begun the fight
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 Jones with
an effort to buy the Times at any price he
might name. This offer being refused, an
offer of So, 900, 600 for the suppression of the
accounts was made, but it was likewise re-
fused

fought and then judge of their relation to
the government against which they are said
to have rebell9d. Col. Morgln'S speech was
an eloquent effort, and one from the heart.
1t stirred the veterans as none other had
during the reunion.
\ business meeting was held after Col
Morgan's speech, and the election of Off
GERS was passed to- This was quickly dis
GERS were elected for the ensuing
year: Col K. NJ. Henderson of
sulphur Springs, president; JEFF
Gee, vice-oresident from Ross brigade;
Jonathan Rudd of Harrison county, vice.
president from Ector'S brigade; y. G. Ad-
ans, vice-president from Granbury's bri-
gade; George L. GriscOm, the present in
cumbent, of Weatherford was elected sec
rotary.
\ committee of six was appointed-two
from each brigade-to confer rel
alive TO the ACCESSIBILITY OF cstab-
fishing permanent camp where
Texas ConfederateS could meet each year.
Capt Veal then brought up the matter of
erection of monument 10 the Confederate
dead to be placed in the city of Austin or
some other suitable place. The subscribers
to the fund are to be formed into a stock
company, the charter of which has Just
been gotten from the secretary of state.
The capital stock Is $1,000, 900,
and while it is not expected
that this much will be raised, the idea Is 10
raise as much as possible. \ fund was inn
mediately started on the ground. Col.
Smith was elected president Of the stock
company and secretary was chosen.
About 1872 was Immediately subscribed.
Anyone desiring to subscribe TO this fund
can do 50 by communicating with Col. J. z.
Smith or Capt. Veal of this place.
AT this juncture dinner was announced,
and the crowd repaired To the stands where
an abundance of barbecued meat, light
bread, coffee, etc, had been prepared.
After dinner Capt J. II. Robinson was
called upon, and related some interesting
facts relative TO the march of the Texas
briCadeS from this state 10 Join Lee in Nir-
ginia. He also described very wildly, and
in an interesting manner, some of the bat
ties in which the Texans figured
and took occasion to commend their valor
in the highest.
When Capt Robinson mad done, his
brother, odd Tige" Robinson, as he IS IA
miliarly called, was called for and came
forward 10 press the claim of the Thirteenth
of Georgia to the highest distinction. He
said that from the talk of his predecessors
one might imagine that there were only
Texans in the thickest of the fight,
but that he WAS present To deny
the superiority of any Texas brigade over
those of old Georgia. Some good-natured
badinagc then followed between the two,
which was participated il by the crowd in
general.
At 30 o'clock a threatened rain dispersed
the audience. II had been agreed upon to
meet at Como park pavilion 1T S
o'clock in the evening, where Gen. f. NJ.
Clark. a Union soldier. was to have
addressed the Confederates. The threat
ening weather, however. kept the crowd
away, and the audience was so small Us not
to warrant calling the meeting TO order.

SULPHUR SPRINGS, HOPKINS COUNTY,
Ten, Aug. 12.-The celebrated Britt as
sault case was concluded to-day and the
bond of the defendant was set at $500 His
friends fairly crowded around the judge to
get their names on the bond. The size of
the bond shows there is nothing in the case
but malice on the part of the old mans
daughter, who made the complaint.
The third party people of this county held
a meeting at Alliance hall to-day with about
lbs present. Precinct chairmen for the
eight precincts in this county were duly
appointed. The following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved. that we will vote for no man
who is nominated by the Democratic or Re-
publican party, and further that we will
vote for no one who joins the Peoples
party after this date and offers themselves
for an Office.
The meeting was not public, but the
above facts were ascertai1ed from parties
who were present.
Yesterday evening during a storm at
Sulphur Bluff. about twelve miles north of
this place, a young lady named Hester
Harrod was killed by lightning. She was
standing on the south side of the house
watching the approaching storm, when
