COMMODORE JONES. GRAVE.
Renewed Interest in the Monument to a
Delaware Patriot In Wilmington and
Brandywine Cemetery.

Renewed Interest in the Monument to a
Delaware Patriot IN Wilmington and
Brandywine Cemetery.
The recent publication, by the His
torical Society of Delaware, Of q paper
on Commodore Jacob Jones, which was
written by Rev. Roland Ringwalt of
Camden, n. j., has awakened interest in
this famous Delaware patriot, and, though
many know something of his history
there are comparatively few Of the younger
generation, probably, who know where
he is buried.
The grave is in one Of the most con-
spicuous places in Delaware, being in
Wilmington and Brandywine cemetery,
about 80 feet from the Delaware avenue
fence, and it is marked by q monument
erected by the State of Delaware in 1852.
The monument is appropriately inscribed
giving a brief sketch Of Commodore Jones,
but the inscription cannot be plainly seen
from the street, being carved in small
letters. The monument is, however,
marked with the name Jones In large
letters
Commodore Jones was a physician. He
was born near Smyrna in l76S and. when
about 80 years old, he entered the naval
service as a midshipman. In 1901 he was
made a Lieutenant and in 1910 q post
captain. He was made a commander in
1913, and he was in command of the
American sloop of war Wasp when she cap
tured the British sloop of war Frolic. He
was taken prisoner at Tnpoli in 1903 and
held for Is months. when he was released.
He died in Philadelphia in 1850. He was
voted a medal and distinguished honors
by Congress and his gallantry was officially
recognized by Delaware.

DEATH ON CURVE
William Riordan, Long an
Unerring Switch Operator,
Killed by Berkeley Local
IGNORES WHISTLING

OAKLAND. Dec. 25.--Faithfully and
unerringly through the long years of
his service William Riordan watched
guard the trains that came and went
meath him. The lives OF the millions
of people who passed to and fro on the
Oakland pier during the many years
that he was stationed there were in
trusted to his care. A misplaced
switch would have meant frightful dis
aster, but never did the crippled man
falter. His eye was ever alert, his
hand ever steady. Trains whizzed back
and forth in bedlam of noise and a
lurching confusion, but never once was
one misdirected, nor was a passenger
or trainman hurt through fault of the
aged towerman.
This evening William Riordan, the
careful towerman, who had never fall
tered or erred at the most difficult post
on the whole Southern Pacific system,
making his way along that same Death
Curve, occupied with thoughts of the
Christmas joys awaiting him at home
after the days work and unmindful of
the Berkeley locals screeching blasts,
was struck down and killed instantly.
Riordan was an old Southern Pacific
Company employe, having lost both
legs in a railroad accident long years
ago. His form was mangled almost
beyond recognition.
He was 55 years of age and resided
at 1880 Seventh street. The Coroner
took charge of the remains.

Christmas cheer into hundreds of homes

Downtown stores lent delivery

Christmas dinners were carted into

All yesterday afternoon and this
morning the work continued. and when
finally it ceased it was because the
Elks knew Of no more to whom to give

A great roast beef formed the center
piece In each basket. This was supple

sweetmeats. An intelligence bureau
formed several weeks ago had gathered
the names and addresses of those
worthy of aid.
Clay III. Hawbaker had charge of the
