Mr.. William l.. Blackmon, an
aged and venerable citizen, died
yesterday morning at half past
2 o'clock at the home of his son,

The NetO Engineer.

Friday morning last several of
the neighbors in the vicinity of
the Factory were aroused from
their peaceful slumbers, by an
unusual noise, and as a report
had been circulated that safe
crackers were going the rounds,
it was thought that perhaps the
gang had struck Factory Hill.
This fear was aleviated wnep a
closer investigation was made,
and all rejoiced with the father.

who was first to arrive upon the

In a case recently tried in Chi
cago a man had borrowed 1925 of
a loan concern and had paid back
$500, only to find that he still
owed $221.5O. The interest rate
was SIS to $50 for three months.
The borrower paid $40 a week
and renewed his notes whenever
the time limit had expired. AS
interest was compounded he
found the principal growing
larger, and soon concluded that
1T was useless try to keep up with
the figures Of the rspacious loan
shark, and he accordingly default
ed On further payments after hav,
ing paid $500. The Judge ruled
that the various assignments of
wages made by the plaintiff in
favor of the loan concern we're of
no force or effect, that his in
debtedness had been fully dis.
charged, and the usurers we're
ordered to cancel all notes held
by them against the plaintiff, and
were assessed $3.50 costs in the
suit. The experience of the vic
tim was by no means unique, of
course, but it is seldom that such
cases get into the courts.

THE HORRIBLE CRIME
OF"PREACHEu'' JONES.
with Axe and Torch He Commits
Five Murders, Mother and
Three Small Children.

Raleigh, N. o., March 22.-Ths
most horrible crime In the history
ol North Carolina was perpstrat.
cd early this morning at Garn.rs.
live miles east of this city, when
a negro, Tom Jones commonly
known In the county as Preach
or" Jones, murdered Ella Jones
nd her Oldest daughter, Ida
Jones, and then set fire to the
beds lii which lay the bodies of
the murdered vlctIms and four
others, all children, ranging~in
years from a baby Que month old
to the largest boy who was not
more than five years of age. The
work was done with an axe. the
murderer, according to the story
of little seven ear.old Laura
Jones, VINO escaped with her
younger sister, deliberately and
coolly 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 aud the bodies of
the four youngest children were
so frall that they are nDw distrih;
uted among the ashes, which
alone remain to tell the story of
the contlagration. The BODY of
Ella Jones and that of Ida, the
13-year old child, were burned be
yond recognition, and are lying
on the ground charred crisp and
with the 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
j ones house to arrest him they
found that his clothes bore the
stains of fresh blood and his
hands even showed spots of hu
man blood.
Though there was talk among
the negroes Of lynching, no at
tempt was made to do so aud
Jones was brought to this city
and placed in Jail to await trial
for his crime.
The two children, having no
atives, were taken to the coun-
ty home to be cared for.
Jones was arrested on the eyi
dence Of the seven.year old girl,
Laura, who escaped from the
burning house after he bad gone.
She took with her, In her arms,
her little sister, Sid, who was
sleeping in bed with her and an
elder sister, Ida, who was mur
dered
They went to the honse of a
neighhor, half a mile al y and
told what had happened. Those
who went to the Fl : could see
distinctly the bodies on the / j
inside the burning building, out
it was too late to rescue them
Today the charred remains of the
two murdered women were taken
out and buried. The four small
children, except the baby clasped
in it's mothers arms had been en-.
tirely consumed.
The child Laura is very bright
for her age, and though she told
the story of the murder many
times today she never varied from
her account Of it given last night
while her home was burnt lg. She
said:
"'Pre acher' Jones came TO our
house last night about 8 o'clock.

laughter Jared upon him as she re-
piled:
"You spoke like "a aristocrat, as
though you belonged to some race
quite separate and distinct from all
others"
How you hate all aristocratsl" he
said, with deep sigh.
81 do, indeed" she replied; and then
she pointed to an old ruin standing at
the foot of the hill. Have you heard
the legend of the old castle there?" she
asked, carelessly. 81 read it this
morning."
"No. fell it to me-" he said. II
like your way of telling a story, Vio-
let; it is terse and vigorous"
"It is not much of legend" she
said, "but it interested me. A Ger
man baron married young French
lady, and brought her home to this
castle, Heaven knows how many hun
bred years ago. When he had been
she had a secret in her life. No one
| ever knew what that secret was; she
never told it; and he threatened that.
If she did not tell him, he would kill
her. Do you think wife has no right
to keep secret from her husband,
Randolph"
Il should think not" he replied; but
he spoke in such a tone Of hesitation
that she looked at him again, half
laughing.
HAS husband any right to keep a
secret from his wife?" she asked then;
and this time he answered more
quickly:
mo"
What do you think this cruel hus-
band did, Randolph" she continued.
when he found his wife would not
tell him her secret he flung her from
that old ruined tower into the Rhine;
tho story tells how she haunted the
tower until no one dared live in 1t,
and so 1t fell into ruin. The moral Of
the story is, there should be no secret
between husband and wife,"
But Randolph did not answer with
the cordially Violet expected.
