for the last time in July last intending

Jones yesterday. Conductor Jones was
subject TO epileptic fits. which was the
cause OF his suspension. He was under
treatment for some time at the Cooper
Medical College and at my suggestion
placed himself under the care of DR.. Isaa ac
jones. When he left he had about $1,000
in his possession. He secured position
ON one of the North American Navigation
Company's steamers as clerk and then
went on to New York and Chicago. He
told me he intended TO go into the pine
woods in North Carolina, where his par
ents resided, and engage in The business of
extracting pitch and tar. He was very
close in his relations with all on the road
and made but few friends while be was

During the search for Jones yesterday
singular coincidence was developed. In
October last one OF the gripmen on the
Sutter-street road of the same name went
East, also to Virginia. Those who were

be the Jones who was killed. From his
