Alfred Jones to BE TrieI Next

MILFORD, N. H.. March 3-Alfred W.
Jones of this place has been arraisned in
the STAFFORD county supreme court, before
Judge Robert NJ. Wallace, charged with the
murder OF his mother, Sally W. Jones, on
Dec. 3, 1886, by poisoning. Jones pleaded
not guilty. The date OF the trial was set for
April 4. Jones has gained several pounds in
weight since his incarceration at STAFFORD
county jail. Sheriff j. T.. Hayes, the jailer,
says that Jones Is n model prisoner. He is
continually praying and advising the
other inmates to turn from evil and fol-
low the teachings of the Bible. which
Is Jones' constant companion. IT ii
not known just what course the
defense will take. There has been some talk
to the effect that Jones is suffering mentally,
and this may have bearing on the defence.
The government will rely chiefly on the evil
dence OF DIR. Vim. L. Pillsbury Of Milton, who
was the family physician and is alleged to
have held certain conversations with Mrs.
Jones' Previous to her death he called
upon the sick woman. She told him in u
confidential way that her end was near and
made other statements that are expected
to have great weight in deciding Jones'
fate.

At the time when Raphael possessed
at Rome the reputation of being the
greatest living master in his art, one
Francois Frnncia held first place

an artist, and was undoubtedly II man
of talent. The two artists had never
met, nor had they seen each others
work, but having heard of each other
they opened II friendly correspond
ence, which continued between them.
The desire of Francia to see the work
of Raphael was extreme, but old age
deferred him from undertaking the
fatigues and perils of journey to
Rome. An opportunity at last oc-
Cured, giving him chance of seeing
what he had SO long desired. Raphael,
having pninteda picture OF ST Cecilia,
to be placed in the chapel at Bologne.
wrote to his friend, requesting him to
see it put up, and even to correct any
mistakes he might see in it.
As soon as Francia saw the picture
he was struck wi Ii NO ld.r aud adj
miration, and felt FAITHFULLY his in
feriority. The picture was indeed
one of the finest that ever came from
Raphaels brush but it proved only a
source of grief TO Francia. He as
sisted in putting it up, and never
again had happy hour In one
moment he had seen his LIES work
thrown into odious comparisons; he
was too old to entertain any hope, by
,enewed efforts, of ever rivaling
Raphael, and, struck to the heart with
grief and despair, he took to his bed,
from which he never arose. He was
impervious to all consolation, and eN-
pired in few days in his sixty eighth
year, the victim of the most excruciat-
ing disapp intment and melancholy.
