SHOT AND KILLED IN THE PULPIT.
Pastor of the Baptist Church of
Gastonia, Meets His End.
Gastonia, N. 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.

" OUR WORLD'S FAIR LETTER, j
World's Fair, Chicago.
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. Ther are

shown tint at they come trom toe loom,
next as dyed and combed, and finely as
they are printed. 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.

Therewas a bush near the opening in the u
morning when SecrctMT Btern appeared 11
on the balcony of the Trading room and ''
notified all concerned that thoae having ^
trades with tho well known provision 1
broketage firms of Joseph E. Stevor & ?
Co.; E, \V. Daily A Co., and A. ilelthotz
A Co. should proceed to clere them out.
The silence lasted for a second and then
a mighty roar went up from the provision
pit. 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.
Another and heavier shock camo in
announcements by the sccretaiy in quick
succession of the failure of tho North
American Provision Company, a packing
concern with a capital of a quatterof

gaged in receiving ami shipping of 1
wheat, but who arc understood to be '
interested v, i'h Cudahy in his deul in the ,
provision pit, and finally of Cudahy himself,
the great packer and daring spccu- '
later in provisions, whoso wealth was
rocently estimated at no has than $18,000,000,
of which about $2,000,000 was
made iu a deal in libs last fall.
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.
It is said Mr. Cudahy's private elY'drs
are separate from Irs partner's matters,
and that the companies he controls with
