C.?Distressing tidings have just reached hero of the tragic death in California of Rev. E. F. Jones, pastor of tho Gastonia Baptist church. A member of his congregation, visiting in tho mountains, write) that on Friday a telegram went to Mrs. Jonos at Boone bearing tho shocking intelligence that her husband was shot and killed in his pulpit in Dixon, Cal., lost Sunday. No other particulars are known. Mr. Jones was called to tho pastorate of the Gastonia church last spring. Having ? trip to California in view, he came by Gastonia, preachod twice on Sunday, May 14, accepted the call,and on Monday resumed hi) journey, intending on his return in September to move his family here from tbiir Watauga home and ontor actively upon the work of his new field, lie went directly to Oakland, Cal., and was the guest of his old friend and co-laborer, Rev. J. G. Pulliam, for whom he preached some. A few weeks ago hp went to Dixon, not far from Oakland, to supply for Rev. W. T. Jordan while he visited his old homo in western North Corolina. Be was thus engaged in supplying for Mr. Jordan when killed. This totally unexpected report of a tragedy so utterly inexplicable falls like a thunderbolt upon his congregation here and friends everywhere, and would, o'i-. of sheer reluctance of belief, be dts credited but for its directness and apparent reliability. The letters Mr. Jones wroto homo both to the papers and to his friends deplored the gambling, drinking, racing, J Sabbath desecration and other popular forms of sin witnessed by him on every hand; but while they indicated that ho was not cuamored of high life in California, still he seemed to enjoy especially preaching tho gospel as ho knew it. Rut he was a man of force, of great natural tenderness, of fervent spirtualmindcdDfts, and not a man of violent of intemperate speech. Over moat men and many preachers he possessed ono advantage?ho had religion. As a servant of the Most High he was fearless. If he felt God calling him to rebuke open sin and warn the perpetrators of it, he obeyed the call with the loyalty of a heaveu-born zeal.

Again I liavo something of interest for your readers from the Midway Plaisance. I was strolling aimlessly along, after leaving tho streets of Cairo and Constantinople, with a view to getting ba.-k intw America. Entering the factory of the Libby Glass Works I saw the wholo operation of glass maktog. I saw vases, bottles and other thlngB shaped in imitation of cut gloss. I then watched some men who were cutting and polishing gloss. But what intcrostod me most in this building was tho spinning and waving of gluts. A man would tsko a piece of glas*, hold it in a flame until intcoBly hot, draw a point out through the flamo, attach it to a revolving wheel about six feet in diameter, and wind upon the wheel a continuous flue thread of glass. This glass thread seemed to be almost es pliable as though it wore made of flax. Adjoining were two young women at a loom weaving fabric of this thread. When completed this glass cloth has n beautiful lustre like satin, and the ut tendauts assured me that it would stand a good deal of hard usage bofcro breikidg. The Princess Eulalia, so I was told, is to have a dress tntdc of glass that was spun and woven in this factory. in the French exhibit here are sonic wonderful watcbes. One of these is claimed to bo tho smallest ono in the world, It is set in a rosebud studded with stones and a clasp at the point of the bud keeps it closed, and when pressed, springs open, revealing this miniature watch. JArAXKflF VEOETAM.H rBDDI.EItA. Several novelties in watches for ordinary use are also exhibited. One watch is so constructed that every time the case is opened to see what time it ia, then closed again, tho spring is wound up. This watch is a repeater, striking the hour and the minutes. Another watch has two faces, one on each side. Ono faco gives the socond, the minute, and the hour of the day, notes with a pointer how nearly the watch ia wound up, and has two small faces, so that the time of different cities in the world can be shown. Turning the watch over and opening the rear case, there is found a perpetual calendar, which gives the day . e a!_ 1_ al j -1 lu. il ik. ui 'no weea, luu uuy 01 iuu inuuiu, mo the month of the year, the phases of the moon,and it also contains a thermometer. The watches in this one cose are estimated to he valued at $400,000. Watches are shown in the Swiss department which display equal cunning in this line of manufacture. A ring with a watch set in the crown Is set in a circle of twenty-four diamonds, and, like tbe watches referred to in the French department, it is wound up by turniDg the entire watch upen its setting. Other miniature watcLe# are shown in this exhibit, which are mounted as butteiflies, booties, and ducks. The cotton exhibit of Russia surpasses that ef all other foreign countries. It is perhaps the most interesting, as it shows the product in every stage from tbe pod to its conversion into the finest cloths. The goods exhibited are mostly heavy prints for winter wear.

The Russian factories which are engaged in the manufacture of these geods support school*, churches libraries, hospitals, etc., for their operatives, and also provide savings banks fur them. Russia has introduced her goods into Europe,-Asia and Afrios, and has a limited market in Central and Bouth America. The exhibit of raw stock, carded and Bpua cotton, and finished product is perhaps one of the most varied displays ever made. The women of Mississippi, who are patriotically endeavoring to have their State creditably represented at the World's Fair, have built a fortification of cotton bales on the grounds,representing Vicksburg during tho siege. One hundred bales of cotton wero used in building the fore, and on the inside is exhibited all the products of the great taplc. Tho women have omatneocd their cotton fart with numbers of historic cannon, Hags and other relics of the war. This Looks Like Business. Columbia, b. C.?Very' few people have any idea what a big thing the new Columbia Cotton Mill is to b*. It will perhaps bo ?i.\ or eight months boforo the mill begins operation, but some idea of tho capacity and extent of tho project might be had from the present work. To begin with, it is located on the upper side of the Canal near the Qcrvais street bridge. It is an L sliapod structure. The front is *112 feet, the ruaiu building is 104 feet wide. The wiDg nearest the Canal is 129 feet long and that fronting iiie exBt 109 feet, which is to be extendod to 337 feet. The main building is to bo five stories high, and the east wing three aid four stories on account of the slope in the ground. The company claim thnl the mill whon completed will be the largest in the State, auu tho largest nucKing mill in toe worm. vvorK wai started on the lGth of April,and the build ing is now beginning to look like something. It is the intention of the own.ri of the valuable property to spend al least $730,000, and in the purchase ol machinery quality will be the ilrst consideration. The machinery will be op crated by motor power from tho Columbia Cnna', and quite an innovation in the shape of individual electric motors fc; evcty piece of machinery will bo iptrodac ed. Heating and ventilating machinery will bo used, and everything will b< equipped with the very latest mcchanisn that can be had. Ducking end drilli will be manufactured, and a spccialtj will be mado of the heavy canvas thai is used in sail making. The capacity o! the mill will be the same as is exprerscc by about 45,000 cotton spindles. It is said that the mill will give em ploymcnt to about 1,400 operatives wbich means that about 5,000 pcoph will bo brought here by the new mill It is the intention of the compiny to u?< as much native labor as possiblo. A tbc outset only a few experienced worn mi n will be brought here, anil they wil be expected to drill the native labor. The company has started the construe tion of 100 houses that are to be used bj the operatises. The new town is beinj built in L'.-xingiuu County, just acros. the river.

As oarly as lust march it became apparent to tho trade that m< ss pork was being 'bullod" through these houses, and it eocn became nohed about in the provision tiade that A. M. Wright whs behind the deal a year before he started a corner in ribs, and with tho help of Joho Cudahy carriol it through to success, making a large amount of monay. Appo'ently, according to the general opinion of the board, he had started to run a similar deal in miss pork. The collapse lias been looked for some time, and as the monetary situation became moro and more strained, everybody not interested in meat drew out, leaving tho market so dull that there was scarcely enough busincts to eslablith quotations, and the bubblo bunt.

The storm broke loose again after this in the lard crowd. This commodity had held extremely steady throughout the slump in pork, but it in turn mounted the teboggan und went down as if selflubricated. The price for September was $0.55 per tierce in the early buying. It was $6 within six minutes after Cudahy's failure was announcod, and September short ribs, which wero sold at a $'4 range broke to $5,874. Before the close, however, both rallied, the former to $0,024; the latter to $0.30.
