The sudden death of Mr.. /. Nj. Jones at
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon SEEM
ed very sad and shocking. In the morn
ing, Mr.. Jones expressed himself as ieel-
ing better than for some time previously,
and came up town, meeting many OF his
old friends and acquaintances for the last
time After his return home, he started
10 90 across the kitchen floor but stag
! gered, and putting his hand TO his head
with cry of pain, fell to the floor, he
was picked up in an unconscious condl-
. tion and expired few moments after.
, His death is supposed to have been caused
/ by heart disease.
Friday aftertoon, as the mail was being
/ changed. Will Bean drove up to the main
J entrance OF the postottice TO wait untli
the distributing should be over. Mer-
Z chants Row, on which the side entrance
OF the offics opens, is not wide street,
! and the STAGES seem to need what httle
room there IS 20 drive up for their respec-
, five mail bags. As the Brookfied stage
! came over from the depot that afternoon
the driver. Charles Blodgett, asked MT.
Bean to move a little out OF his way, oul
! no attention being paid TO this request
be drove out around the carriage, croWo-
. ing the wheels of the stage against u III
I such a manner as to force its occupant 70
! move back Both, it is safe to say, were a
triae angry, and Bean informed Mr.
Blodgett that there was no occasion fol
! his running into him, but the latter tod
/, him that he should have moved then When
: politely requested to do so. This moved
Bean TO express in the irankesl mshhel
his doubts OF Mr. Blodgett's truthiulness
e and thereupun the fray commenced
Finally, Bean struck Blodgett over tins
j. head with his cane, drawing blood, anc
. before further damage could be DONE tins
contestants were separated by some OF ms
r bystanders, and an arinistiee was de-
I eared.
