Jones was armed with re- volver and was powerful man physically. | Nothing saved MaeDonald's life but hls quick action ln grasplng the hand of Jones and drawing his own revolver and shoot ing his assailant. MaeDonald acted en- tlrely in self-defenss. shooting Jones first through the arm and In endeavorlng to cripple the other arm a ball entered the breast. Jones died a few hours later at St. Ann'shospitaL The affair took place near MacDonald's residence, at Treadwell. MleDOnald's acton In this attiir Is regard ed by the officers and entire community as being iustlhabls and unavoidable. Coroner's Inquest was held at p. m.  and the jury after hearing the testimony of numerous witnesses, returned a verdict Of sslt- defense and fully sxoneratIng Mac Donald from all blame.
 Jones was a relious fanatic. He said he had been called by God to compel Super Intsndent MleOonald to close the Tread well mines on Sunday Several times he had warned Mcdonald and once told him that the Lord would appear on the scene within six weeks and then he would settle with Mcdonald.
 Last Saturday, just before Mcdonald left for Skagwav, Jones warned him that if he did not close the shops next day he would be removed.
 When asked how this was to be done. Jones replied, "by shedding blood, if nee essary."
 Mcdonald at that time made complaint to General R A. Friedrich, and papers were prepared charging Jones with lnsan- ltv. They were not served, however, and when Mcdonald returned to Treadwsll from Sklgwav, Jones was laying for him.

Dear readers, let us pause for a little
herat-to-heart talk.
Have you received a small pink slip,
asking you to remit the amount of
your subscription today?
If so, it means that you are sadly in
arrears and we hope by this simple
method 20 arouse you to prompt ac-
ton in the direction indicated.
In other words, we wish you to
send us the money you owe for which
by letter and bill we have repeatedly
ask you to pay.
These statements have been sent to
people high in church, official and
business standing, who enjoy an am
pie income and would not miss the
small sum demanded; but the returns
have been so few and slow that we are
at loss to know the reason why.
We are giving the nation a splendid
paper. AS all can see, commendatory
letters come to us from every station,
and from every walk of life. There is
something interesting and profitable
to all classes and conditions Of readers,
and our steadfast contention for Ne
gro manhood, for larger opportunities
for development, for sturdy independ-
ence, and helpful portrayal of the best
in Negro character and achievement
combine to make the Colored Ameri-
can pre-eminently the paper for the
people. In our columns you will find
the scholarship of the magazine, the
spright1iness of the up-to-date journal,
the spicy variety of the progressive
newspaper. the scintillating sparkle OF
the modern feature periodical and
the sledge-hammer blows of the un-
compromising race champion.
Now it costs money to keep such
large institution in regular and sys-
tematic operation. With expenses
heavy, even when the strictest econo-
my is observed, your delinquency m
creases our bill for stamps, clerk hire
and stationery, to say nothing of the
wear and tear upon our nerves and
optimistic philosophy,

attention, but unstinted praise has come

interests, amuses and instructs. Our
several departments, abounding in wit
and wisdom; editorials that carry both

brate the birthday of Gen. L. s. Grant.
and listened to several songs by Nine.
Genevra tombstone Bishop. There was
an attendance OF more than fifty mem
bers and friends. and the evening was
passed most pleasingly.
The business meeting of the club was
the first order. and while the nominate
ing committee. under the Craftsmanship
of p. NJ, Pond, was celebrating. the
report of the secretary treasurer was
read. 1t showed a surplus of sizes over
expenses for the year, while there had
been subscribed for the fund pledged
to the Mckinley memorial. an add
tional Sl55. This leaves for the club
to raise a balance of s245. The officers
reported and elected We're: President.

w. ID. Westervelt; secretary and treas
urer. w. Z. Skinner; executive commit
tee. Miss Belle Johnston. DR.. Rogers
and g. H. Atherton.
The point was made that within the
past month there had been the celebra-
lions of the birthdays of two great
men. Washington and Lincoln, and tina
next month there will occur that of one
of Ohio's distinguished sons. Gen. u.
S. Grant. The motion was that there
be a committee of three to arrange for
a meeting in commemoration OF the &C.
casion on April 27th. There was some
controversy over the date, as it came
SO close to the time of the May meet
ing. and after discussion a committee
of three, consisting of +. s. Gill
Joshua X. Brown and John ". Fran
els, was appointed to arrange for the
meeting, the second Tuesday in May.
There was a suggestion made that
there should be no hanging back in the
making up of the sum pledged To the
Mckinley memorial fund. and a COM
mittee, made up of w. F.. Skinner, DIR.
Rogers and +. S. Gill, was appointed
to canvass the members of the club for
funds. The passage of votes of thanks
for the retiring officers closed the bust
ness meeting of the club.
During the social session there were
songs by the Buckeye quartet. and
Madame Bishop sang several numbers,
among them "Hurrah for Ohio" which
set the entire audience cheering.
