JENNIE WAS
KNOWN HERE.
The Unfortunate Young
Woman Was Married
at Camden This
State.

More than usual interest is being
taken in the mystery surrounding
the death of Jennie Jones of Rosser,
Alabama, whose remains were dis
covered a few days ago near that
place in badly multilated condi-
ton, The legs and head had been
cut off and an attempt had evident
ly been made to burn the body.
When the facts were first pub
lished little attention was paid to
them, but when it became known
the woman was Jennie Jones an in
tercsting story was recalled.
Several years ago this young
woman, then known as Jennie West
attempted to kill herself in Phila-
delphia. The story in the news
papers aroused the interest of
William Jones, of Milton, a veteran
OF the Civil War, who received a
large pension. He wrote to her and
proposed marriage. Later he visit
cd the young woman in Phila-
delphia, and they went to Camden,
where they were married.
The couple went to Milton to live
and while there the woman's ac-
tons at various times shocked the
people OF that stald town. Then she
went to Milford, where she joined
minstrel show. and never after
wards lived with her husband.
She disappeared, and after the
proper time had elapsed Jones APP
piled to the Legislature and sccur-
ed divorce. This was on March
70, 1897, after Jones and his wife
had been married about one year.
Subsequent to this it was report
ed that the woman was placed i'll
an institution for the insane. and
still later that she had become 4
tramp.
Various stories of her wander
ings came to Delaware from time to
time, but the divorced husband
never mentioned the subject to any
one.
There is no doubt in the minds
OF Milford people that the murder
ed woman is Jennie Jones.

CAR TRUST
CERTIFICATES
Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
Issues Them to Buy
Rolling Stock.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panJ will soon issue 81, 600, 900 more
car trust certificates, which will be
redeemed at the rate of $1,000 600
each year. These bonds are to
bear 81, per cent. per annum, and
the proceeds are to be used for the
payment of the equipment now
under construction. as well as some
OF the new cars recently turned
out.
During the past year the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company gave
orders for the construction of more
than 5000 freight. cars. Some OF
these cars have been delivered, but
there remains a large number to be
turned over to the company. Be-
sides paying for this order, the
money received from the sale of
these new car trust certificates will
enable the company to construct a
large number Of cars.
Notwithstanding the company's
car equipment was largely intreas-
cd last year, there has been Il big
demand for cars, and most of the
time it was impossible to give the
shippers all The cars they asked
Tor. This was especially So in re-
gard To the bituminous coal trade.
For weeks at time the soft coal
shippers had considerable trouble
10 secure enough cars to fill their
urgent orders. In Il measure the
scarcity OF cars WAS responsible
for the high price Of bitlminous
coal. In some cases solt coal was
As high as anthracite, and owing
to the inability OF the shippers to
secure cars, manu- acturers We're
compelled TO use anthracite instead.
The general outlook for a con-
tlnuance OF the business boom is
considered bright and many of the
most progressive railroads in the
| ntcd States are making arrange
ment1 Tor Il big year. The Penn
>ylvania Railroad has taken the
hrst step in creating another car
trust, and it is, OF such magnitude
as will allow the construction OF

THEGeorgetown Republican saws:

THEGeorgetown Republican says:
1.-THE responsibility of the contin-
ued division OF the Republican par
ty rests solely with Addicks. 1t is
great responsibility to rest upon
a single individual.
Parties always have their fac
tons and these factions their dis
agreements and differences, but
seldom IN the HISTORY Of parties has
a fatal difference rested upon a
: single personality. Few men will
dare assume such 4 responsibility.
Men moved by right motives could
never be found occupying such a
position.
A man who is true citizen and
partisan would never hesitate to
sacrifice himself for the good of his
party and state.
Can anyone recall such fatal
division that could be so easily
renedled! Think of il and consid-
er we'll the present political sit,la-
ton and the solution demanded by
the Republican State Committee.
Is there man in the State thus
confronted; with the responsibility
OF future success and welfare of
the Republican resting solely with
him, who would hesitate to step
aside for the sake OF harmony and
victory?
What will Addicks do?

An Old Parisian Iandmark.

One of the old Parisian landmarks which will soon be leveled to the ground is the historic mansion once occupied by Queen Hortense. Queen Hortense was so unhappy in her mar riage to Louis Bonaparte that she spent but little of her time in the royal palace at the capital in Holland. She resided chiefly in Paris, at No. IT, in the Rue La Fitte, where she occupied the mansion which has since been redolent with the memories of her life. Of re- cent years it has been the residence of the Turkish ambassador, but every body knows it as the old home of Queen Hortense. Here the royal youth who subsequently, became Napoleon III. of France spent much of his early life. The front of the mansion has never been considered specially beautiful, but on the interior there are still many traces of the glory which once belonged to the mansion In former days. The old building, with the grounds adja- cent, will be destroyed to make room for another street which is now being opened in the French capital.

The law was passed ia 1893. but from time to time post poaement has been made in the be- ginning of it's operation, so that a hardship on the railroads would not be worked, but now 1t has come to pass, so the saying goes, that the change must be made, aud all the railI pads are making strenuous efforts to be properly fixed.
