Hon. d. M, Jones.

Suddenly and sharply, like a thun-
derbolt from the sky, came the news to
the citizens of Scranton of the dea tn
of the Hon. ID. NJ. Jones. Although
his family and the immediate circle of
friends We're aware of his serious con-
dition for more than q week past, and
watched with grief the slow but sure
ebbing away of his life blood, the an
nouncement of his death was neverthe-
less unsupported by the majority of
his friends and acquaintances.
Departing this life in the full matur-
ity of manhood, he being but fifty.
seven years of age, his death is q
serious loss to the community. OF
such citizens but few can be spared
His place among us will remain vacant
and we shall always miss the light Of
his genial presence.
He has left behind him an eycep-
tional record of usefulness and integ-
rity-a glorious heritage to his chill
dren and subject of proud satisfac-
ton to his friends. When q young
man he left his home in Hyde Park,
seeking the smiles of fortune in the
gold fields Of California; but when the
dawn Of bright success was about to
break upon his career he heard the
bugle call to war. and disregardlng
the golden promises which invited him
to remain on the Pacific coast, he re-
turned to the East and enlisted in the
Union army. He was one of the many
thousand soldiers who did their full
duty patiently, courageously and no.
bly,. Quiet. unobstrusive. without self
assertion. he followed the flag of his
country for four years through the red
fields of battle and the desolating car
mage Of war, to fall wounded with
Richmond before his eyes and when
the principles he SO valiantly fought
for were about to receive their final
and successful vindication.

And one who had mourned for years

Why doesn't the Times tell the truth
about the railway business; in other
words, why doesn't it admit that the
reason why that business is depressed
is because the Democrats in 1894 over
threw Protection? The railway busi-
ness was first class under the gold
standard unit! the free trade and free
silver agitation knocked the props from
under public confidence.

thursday Evenings Rally.

rho coming to Scranton on Thursday
evening of Governor Hastings and the
distinguished company of political
orators who will cooperate with him
in the Frothingham theater rally is an
event to be anticipated with keen in
terest. 1t is a concession which the
Republicans of this city and county
should the more readily appreciate in
view of the fact that there is great de-
mand for these brilliant campaigners
in the more doubtful states
Were the executive of the common
wealth to come unattended he would be
enthusiastically welcomed, for nowhere
else in the state has he warmer friends
and more ardent admirers than in this
capital city OF the anthracite coal
fields. But the fact that he will bring
with him General Latta, one of the
wittest speakers in the United States;
General Reeder most polished ora tor;
Colonel Harry Hall. who worked his
way up from the rank of day laborer
in the soft coal mines of Mercer county
to high distinction as legislator, jour-
nalist. lecturer and orator. and the

day evenings visitors an unprecedent-
ed ovation.
This meeting will be for the voters

Yer men preferred. Republicans will
be there, but the especial aim will be
to offer final reasons why at next Tues
days election Protection and sound
money should command an overwhelm-
Ing majority in this county without
regard to past party affiliations.
Therefore, every Republican should
bring with him to the meeting, if pos
sible, an unconverted friend Let us
make this occasion fitting climax to
an unparalleled campaign.

Clothing for Cows.

A few days ago the residents Of the
southern portion of the county had their
attention directed to q herd of thirty
FIVE COWS which were being driven out
Mission road to San Mateo county. On
each Of the animals was covering, con-
sisting of four ordinary barley sacks
sewed together. The blanket was fas-
tened by cords to the legs Of the cows,
and tied about the neck. The COWS be-
longed to Koostri Bros, Of the Holstein
dairy, near the Five-mile house. They
were being driven to a ranch in San
Mateo county, about five miles south Of
COlms, near the ocean shore. George
K0ostri, one of the owners of the cows,
said the idea was common in the cold
countries of northern Europe. "The
ranch we own in San Mateo county," he
said, sis situated very close to the ocean.
The climate is cold. The breezes which
blow from the sea are very penetrating.
Our COWS would be chilled, and we would
be unable to allow them to pasture If we
did not provide them with some covering
to resist the cold. In some Of the
European countries the COWS are
blanketed in the winter months and kept
in large inclosure. They are not al
lowed out, but are fed in stable. This
lasts In some places from the lst Of
November to the 1st Of May. We have
thirty-five COWS out on the ranch.
Every one wears a blanket, which will
not be removed until they return to the
city, about three months from now. The
climate here is much warmer, in COM
parison to what it is along the seashore
in San Mateo. The people who watched
us driving the herd to the ranch thought
that the COWS were sick. They were
very healthy, / can assure you. .'-SGN

violence that both Of his legs were broken.

shoulder and thrown a distance OF forty
feet. He was alive at last accounts, but

County Court, with Judge Skeen pre-
siding. has just adjourned. There were
on the docket more tran a hundred in
dictments for misdemeanors. A motion
was made to dismiss the same. because
the jurisdiction OF the County Court was
taken away by the action OF the last
Legislature comforting on justices Of the
peace exclusive jurisdiction Of such
causes. The Court held that in the alb
sence Of a saving clause I'm the statute
il had no jurisdiction over misdemeanorS

act and. therefore. sustained the plea.

thwarted because of the migratory cha
racter of the witnesses. The murder was
Of a very aggravated type. The deceased
