MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT ON JONES
A CoIoned Laborer Fatally Wounded
Between Raleigh and Method---No
Clue to His Assaiant.

Rufus Jones, a coIored employee Of
the Raleigh phosphate works, was the
victim Of a mysterious accident Satur-
day night. He left here at six o'clock
Saturday evening to go to his home at
Method, going by the Hillsboro road.
Sunday morning at seven o'clock he
got home. almost out of his senses,
with five skull wounds 1.-TWO Of these
being fractures) and his ear cut off.
He knew absolutely nothing Of what
happened between the time he left
Raleigh and the time he arrived at
home.
He thought he remembered being
asked for money, but even that recol-
lection is not certain. He was not
drunk and did not go home by the
railroad; the injuries could not have
been inflicted by a locomotive.
DR.. Scruggs, who is attending him,
thinks Jones will die.
Like the case Of the robbery of
young Mr. Massey, there is no clew to
the criminal: that is, if Jones was
foulIy dealt with. Is there a connect
ing link between the two cases? Both
are mysterious: was the same man the
criminal in both cases?

Successful Progress of the Movement
for the Raleigh Public Library

A mistake was made in our state
ment in Sundays paper in regard 10
the contributions for the Public Ii
BRAY. 1t ought to have been stated that
on Saturday afternoon, when the COM
mittee was anxious to complete the
81 900 I'M order to close Mr. Montague's
proposition, the two hundred dollars
was lacking. A gentleman called 10
see Mr.. Frank Stronach, who had been
considering making a contribution, and
acquainted him with the situation.
Within a few minutes Mr.. Stronach de-
cided that he would come to the rescue,
and wrote a letter agreeing to give the
additional $500 needed to complete the
first $1,000.
Afterwards, when the committee
met. and it was announced that the
ST 600 had been subscribed, three other
liberal subscriptions were made, 500
each by Messrs. #. II. Busbee, John G.
Drpvry and w. III. a. r. S. Tucker & Co.
These three gentlemen's contribH-
tions were not necessary to secure the
first 81 900. They were given to help
the library to a great start Are there
not seven others who will do likewise
If S2. 900 can be raised in large subscrip-
tfons. the success Of the library on O
large scale lis assured. The library fund

Rev. {. L. Pells Entertaining and In
structive illustrated Lecture TO be
Delivered at Central Church,


At the Central Methodist church
next Thursday night Rev Edward L.
Pell viii give his illustrated lecture,
Prom Bethlehem to Calvary"
This is looked forward to with great
interest. 1t is peculiarly appropriate
at this time, coming as il does so near
the period Of the death and resurrec-
ton of the Savior.
The lecture is am effort to follow
Jesus through Palestine and to bring
before the eye and mind a vivid pic
ture Of his surroundings as he walked
on earth.
The lecturer is accompanied by an
experienced operator who with a
powerful stereopticon Ga dissolving
lime light making pictures equal to
the capacity Of the largest audience
room), throws on the screen faithful
reproductions in full colors of great
paintings by the masters of art, Illus
trating events in the life of Jesus, be-
sides numerous photo-tTansparencies
Of the places our Savior visited
For an hour and half the lecturer
leads his audience in a search for the
sayior's footprints until the whole life
Of Jesus Is wildly impressed upon the
mind. 1t means a memorable evening
and thrilling experience.
Mr.. Pell is a forcible and entertain
ing speaker. lie is a son Of the late
Rev William =. Peli, for years one Of
the States most prominent journalists,
and was born in Raleigh. He was for
years member of the North Carolina
conference, and one of the most popular
Methodist ministers in the State. Some
two years ago he moved to Richmond,

ligious periodicals in the United Sta ties.

A COOL" VERDICT.
Jones & Powell Lose Their Car Load
of Ice and Fifteen Hundred Dollars
in Addition.

of Ice and Fifteen Hundred Dollars
in Addition.
News comes from Durham that many
people of that town feel that great
wrong has been done Jones and Powell
in the verdict against them OF Sl,5Oo IN
favor of ]. S. Durham. Many people
who heard the evidence are warm IN
their criticism of the jury, and think
that the verdict ought TO be set ASIDE
IT Is a very great hardship certainly
on Jones and Powell, two OF the pes.
men in the State, men who would not
willingly injure any man. The 1acIs
in the case, in brief are: Monday, july
1st. Mr. j. S. Durham, OF Durham, came
to Raleigh and made a contract win
Jones and Powell to buy ice from them
for his trade on the understanding
that payments were to be MADE weekly.
This agreement was made IN the pre-
sence of G.. G.. Mcdonald and ,. Scout,
The ice was shipped, but Mr.. durham
did not pay according to the contract
50 Jones and Powell said, Ihey sent
the claim to the attorney VINO wrote
that he could not collect 1t. they also
heard that ar. Durham had placed the
ice they had shipped him IN lce-house
of a party to whom Durham was IN
aebted and with whom Durham had
agreed beforehand TO deposit the ice,
inns disabling him from filling his con
tract with Jones and Powell. These
renorts. with others they heard, caused
tones and Powell to lose all hope OF
oettino pay. and when Mr.. Durham
came to Raleigh to the Fair they
caused his arrest for obtaining goods
under false pretense. The Justice OF
the Peace discharged Mr.. Durham.
Thereupon Mr.. Durham sued Jones and
Powell for ten thousand dollars Tar
false arrest. Mr., Durham admitted
that he had never paid for the ice, but
contended that the arrest was such
stain upon him that nothing put
Jones and Powell's money would wipe
il ont. The jury gave him $l,5OO' An
appeal was taken.
1t looks pretty tough that Jones and
Powell should lose their ice and have
10 nav 81 500 to boot. A gentleman
from Durham. who was here yester-
dav. said: "AIl the citizens whom
have heard speak about it express
themselves as being astonished at the
verdict rendered One man who heard
the evidence thought the jury could
find no other verdict than to compel
Durham TO pay for the ice. That the
verdict against Jones and Powell could
be gotten on the evidence nobody i
talked to beIiyed, Nine-tenths OF the
citizens believe the verdict ought 70 be
set aside. and Durham made TO pay
for the ice.
