President of the Milwaukee Road

CAUSES MORE TALK ABOUT DEPOT
Story of Probable Arrangement
With the Burlington Re-
ViVed.

President A. J. Earling and General
Freight Agent Z. S. Kelley, of the
C.. NJ. & st. P, were here in their
private car this morning
While it is denied that the visit OF
President E4rling hes to do with
new depot facilities for the Milwsu-
kee here, his presence in the city ha g
led to a renewal of the report that
the road has under consideration
plans of some sort. either looking to
the sharing of the Burlington's new
station, or the erection of a new
building of it's own to replace the
present excuse for a building.
1t has also been said that should
the Milwaukee arrange for the
occupancy of the q depot, it would
likely transfer the contract for the
use of the tracks through Rock Isl-
and and Moline to the Bur ington
company. The Milwaukee now uses
the Rock Islands tracks. In the
event of the road continuing its ar
rangement with the Rock Island, it has
been rumored it might abandon it's
present local quarters and share the
use of the r. l. Il P. depot on Twen-
tieth street.
At any rate, the Milwaukee is
sorely in need of depot facilities in
Rock Island.

HORRIBLE CRIME OF
"PREACHER" JONES.
With Axe and Torch He Com
mlts Five Murders.

Raleigh, n c., March 22-1he
most horrible crime in the history
of North Carolina was perpetrated
early this morning at Garners,
five miles east Of this city, when
a negro, Tom Jones, commonly
known in the county as "Preach~
er" Jones, murdered Ella Jones
and her oldest daughter, Ida Jones,
and then set fire to the beds in
which lay the bodies of the mur.
dered victims and four others, all
children, ranging in years from a
baby one month old to the largest
boy who was not more than five
years Of age. The work was done
with an axe, the murderer, accord
ing to the story of little seven
year Laura Jones, who es-
capped with her younger sister,
deliberately and c0oilv striking
the mother four times and then
making two heavy strokes into
the body of the oldest child
The house was completely de.
stroyed by fire and the bodies of
the four youngest children were
so frail that they are now dis
tributed among the ashes, which
alone remain to tell the story of
the conilagration. The body of
Ella Jones and that of Ida, the
13 year old child, were burned
beyond recognition, and are lying
on the ground charrcd crisp and
with tho whole bodies cut open
and displayed to view.
When those who heard the
story of the murder from the lips
OF the little ragged negro went
to Jones house to arrest him
they found that his clothes bore
the stains of fresh blood and his
hands even showed spots of human
blood
