When the coroner's inquest in the Jones case was resumed in the court room yestcrdnv afternoon at 3 o'clock, the cross-examination of Robert Jones was tuken up by J. II. Merrimon. The wit ness snid that when J. W. Stevens came to bim Saturday morning with a war rant for the arrest of "Bob" Jones, his father. 0. R. Jones, said suffer bis son to be arrested. Stevens, witness said, spoke in a friendly manner and advised bim to submit peaceably. Witness' father went away and after awhile came back with Jew Jones, seeing which, Stevens expressed the fear that there would be trouble. Up to this time Stevens had said or done nothing in an unfriendly spirit. The first of the difficu'ty occurcd when the elder Jones crossed the creek and told Stevens that if he crossed he would whip him. Wit ness admitted that t was his purpose to assist bis lather in Ins resistance it ncc essary. When Dr. Stevens rode into the creek witness' hither told bim if he crossed he would kill htm. He fired at Dr. Stevens before the latter presented his pistol, and the Doctor then fired, from his horse. The men then engaged in a ccullle, and witness then saw J. W Stevens fire and his father full. W. G. Reeves, a son-in-law of O. R Jones, testified that in the parleying between J. W. Stevens and the elder Stevens the latter took off his coat and told Stevens that he might shoot if he wanted to; that he (Jones) hadn't long to stay here anyway, and might as well die and go to hell then s time. Witness called to Dr. Stevens to stop, thinking he might avert a difficulty, but apparently was not heard. Old man Joues cocked his gun and said "The first mun that crosses the creek with the in tention of arresting Bob will get this load."

Central church was decorated with holly and mistletoe in a way that was simplicity in itself, but was yet highly effective. The chancel rail was decor ated in green, and at the center, imme diately in front of the altar was on arch of the same material, under which the bridal couple stood during the ceremony. A magnificient love knot of carnations was suspended from the point of the arch and hung just over the heads of the pair. With Prot. Kneringcr at tne organ playing Mendelssohn's Wedding march, the bride walked down the left aisle of the church leanincon the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Emma Rollins.

The wedding party was picccded J bv the ushers, Messrs. Frank S. Smith and W. R. Hes ton, Thad E. Clayton and John Camp bell. When the party reached the chancel, the wedding service was performed by Bishop Kondthaler, president ol the Salem Female academy, with the beauti ful ceremony of the Moravian church. Rev. H. F. Chreitzberg, pastor of Cen tral church, stood in the chancel during the marriage service. The bride was dressed in a very hand some traveling suit of mazarine blue di- agonel cloth, trimmed in cut velvet and jet, with hat to match. The maid ol honor's oress was a pretty gray camel's bair with fur trimmings, and pink velvet but, trimmed in black. From the church the bridal party went to the residence of Captain Fagg on North Main street and lunched. The in side of the house was handsomely decked in Christmas greens.

Stevens if he crossed be would whip him. Stevens replied he did not want to hurt Jones, they had alway s been friends. Jones pulled open his breast and said : "Shoot me if you want to; yon can't wrong me out of many days anyway." Stevens did not cross the creek then. Dr. 1. M. Stevens came up and said: "Riel Jones won't shoot shoot me." When they reached the creek. O. R. Jones was on opposite bank with cun on bis shoulder, waving his hand and saying that he would shoot the first man who crossed. Dr. Stevens rode into creek while I. W. Stevens re mained on other side.

If, he thought the question of the establishment of a reformatory were presented and failed the tact would he a disgrace, "If we condemn these boys to shame, degradation aud death, we do not deserve the name of Christians.' Prof. P. P. Claxton said he sometimes thought it a crime for dealers to display their wares on tbeoutside ot tbeirstores as a standing temptation to boys who eo hunery and cold about the streets, Many bovs become criminals because they have no way of support. He be- lieved the inmates of a reformatory could be supported at a cost of $4 or $5 a month tor each bov los. H. Washburn of Chicago made a short address and thought the speakers preceding him had been treating effects without going into causes. He favored the abolition of capital punishment. Auditor-elect Robt. M. Furman said bill for the establishment of a reforma tory had been before the Legislature, but at a time when the State had not the money to do the work. He believed however, that the present Legislature would favorably consider the proposi tion. He thought the building could be erected at Raleigh by the State's convicts at a comparatively small cost. Judge George A. Shuford made a very interesting address, stating that be be lieved, if a reformatory were established, the colored people would be rushing to it in a very short time. He said that in Eastern North Carolina the negroes were committing crimes in order to get into the penitentiary, because they fared bet ter there than they did at home. He be lieved that over one-half of the criminals were bevond redemption. The uieetimr throughout was one of deen interest, continuinc until after 10 o'clock. The question of roads, which will come up next Tuesday evening, was discussed informally, and on motion of Mr. Fur- man President Hatch was authorized to appoint a committee to attend the proposed road Congress for North Caro lina, whenever held. -AND WILD CHERRY Is a safe and reliable cure for coughs, colds, croup, hoarseness and all affec tions arising from an inflamed condition of the throat and lungs.
