Col. Chat. R. Jones is dead and
his body is at rest itt Elmwood
Cemetery. His low condition . was
mentioned in Saturday's News, and
his speedy dissolution was 1 fore
shadowed, but " the paper had
scarcely been run through the press
when word was received that the
end had come. - CoL Jones died at
hit home at 5 o'clock Saturday after
noon, aurrounded by the members
of hit family. It was hit second
attack of sickness in the past few
months, -and k had confined him to
hit bed just one week. Hit consti
tution had been broken down and
he fell an easy prey to the disease.
The immediate cause of his death
was paralysis of the brain. His last
conscious moments were on last
Tbuisday afternoon, when he talked
rationally , with ' this . " writer, and
even called him back when he rose
to leave, but shortly afterwards bis
mind became clouded, and he lapsed
into a comatose state from which he
never rauieo. Uot jone was 45;
years old. and . leaves a wile ana
family of children.
CoL Jones was a journalist of pe
culiar abilities, and as editor of the
Charlotte Observer he gained a rep
tatioa : that wat not confined to
North Carolina' alone, but that ex
tended throughout the SoutbV II
earned hit success by the sweat of
his brow, and built up a paper that
Is even now spoken of as the best
Charlotte ever knew, where all be
fore htm had failed. He came to
Charlotte from Statesrille sixteen
years ago and took charge of the
daily Observer. He worked day
and night, and for sometime, aa h.
often related, slept oa a bench in the
office at night Success came to
him gradual! and steadily, and
within the course of a few years the
Observer had grown into t success
ful sod influential paper. The good
that h did for Charlotte can scarcely
be estimated, but looking back over
bis years oi toil In the Interests of
this city, our people see a great
work to remember hint ty-H. work
that should cause hit name to be
meotioned always gratefully.
CoL Tooes aad the Observer arc
both memories 61 the past, but they
ill not soon be forgotten. The
one will Le remembered as a gener
was, affable, open-hearted man; and
the other as one of the best friends
Charlotte ever knew. .The later
yean of CoL Jones' life were foil of
the trials Incident to business re
verses, through whkh he struggled
with his characteristic energy) but
his trials are ever. There art no

' Thieves have been making it lively
for the Richmond & Danville freight
conductors, in the vicinity of the Air
Line junction at this city, and last
Friday night the conductors turned
the tablet and made it lively for the
thieves. One rogue was given aa
pld time flogging, another was shot,
and still another was abducted and
carried to Salisbury where he was
The conductors bad suffered from
the depredations of these rascals un
til they had become thoroughly ex
asperated The junction Is the place
where the long freight trains for th
North are made up, and while the
shifting It going on, the caboose cart
are necessarily left standing alone on
the aide tracks. A certain set ot
thieves became aware of these tacts,
and for weeks past have made almost
nightly raids on the cabs. A few
nights ago they made a complete
haul, taking a new suit of clothes
and everything the conductor had in
his cab, including half a dozen photo
graphs of the robbed "conductor.
Things went on this way until Friday
night, when the conductors routed
the enemy." ? While the car were be
ing shifted, a conductor lay in am
bush, snd pretty soon he saw a negro
break into the cab.. , The conductor
started for him but stumbled and fell
over a confederate who was crouch
ing in the dark just ouside the car,
on the watch. As the negro bolted
from the car, the conductor opened
fire on him and popped three times.
The negro tell at the first and third
shots, and the last time he remained
oa the ground two or three minutes,
when he again got op and moved
slowly oft. ' The conductor did not
fouow him, but a call n expected to
be made for coroner Cathey at any
time. - Another of the thieves was
caught and while, the train hands
held him, the conductor gave
him a threshing that would have
made . the old time whipping post
blush. A third thief was kidnapped
and carried to Salisbury, where he
wu jailed. He will be brought back
