He arose from his berth in the sleeper about five this morning, com plaining of sickness at the stomach, drank a glass of hot water and imme diately collapsed. The Rev. IVa/i Hol comb. who lias been asociated with Mr. Jones several years, took the dy ing man in his arms and in a few min utes the evangelist breathed hi.s last. The body will he embalmed and sent to Cartersville this afternoon, where the interment will he held. Sketch of Mr. Jones. Rev. Sam P. .Tones was born at Chambers county. Ala.. October 16th, 1847, and was reared in Cartersville, Bartow county. Ga.. where he resided at the time of his death. His father, Captain John .1. Jones, was a lawyer of note in Georgia, distinguished for his intelligence and integrity, social qualities and consistent piety. He pre pared his son for the legal profession, which he entered in early manhood, with the fairest prospects and prom ises of success. After a life of wildness and social excesses his father's death bed be came the scene of his reformation and in October, 1872, in Atlanta. Ga., he was received on trial in the North Georgia conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. South. This step astonished his friends, who did not be lieve he could ever succeed in the ministry. His first appointment was the Vanwert circuit, in Bartow and Polk counties. Ga.. which he served three years. In 1876 he was sent to Desoto circuit, where he remained two years. In 1880 he was appointed agent of the North Georgia Conference Or phans’ Home, when the home was un der great financial embarrassment. He not only relieved the home from debt and saved it from financial ruin, hut raised money and erected additional buildings, and put the institution up on a career of greatly enlarged useful ness and prosperity. Since that time he has been en gaged in evangelistic work having held revivals in all parts of America from Washington to San Francisco and from the Lakes to the Gulf. His nower over men was marvelous and his power over assemblies phenome nal. He despised the mere arts of or atory but possessed the eloauence of earnestness and action, the fire and glow of passion, the surprise- of thought, which expressed in the lan guage of the shop and field and illus trated bv the common acts of life, made him the most sensational preacher who ever stood in an Ameri can pulpit.

Jesse James, the noted outlaw’s son, is at the age of thirty, one of the most talented and respected lawyers of Kansas City. In a claim case that he recently won, Mr. James to’d an amusing story. “There was a woman,” he said, “whose husband was killed in a rail- wav accident.- The railroad, to avoid suit, gave her $5,000 damages. “The sum satisfied the woman; hut a month or two afterward, taking up a newspaper, she resd about a man who had lost his leg in the same ac cident. and, behold! this man was given by the company damages,to the amount of $7,500. “It made the woman mad. She hastened at once to the office of the railway’s claim adjuster. She said t'itterly; “How is this? Here you give a man $7,500 for the loss of his leg, while you only gave me $5,000 lor the loss of my husband. “The claim adjuster smiled ami ably. and said in a soothing voice; “ ‘Madam, the reason is quite plain. The $7,500 won’t provide the poor man with a new leg, whereas, with your $5,000, you can easily get a new hus band, and perhaps a better one.” Senator Morgan, of Alabama has called attention to the cement rock deposits of his State in connection with the building of the Panama Ca nal.

Under this act, the selling Is inter state commerce, of foods, drugs, me dicines. confectionery or liquors which are misbranded, adulterated or con tain anything forbidden by the terms of the act, i s punished by fine or im prisonment. It is important for everyone dealing in food products or other products convered by the act, to know just what is permissible and what is for bidden as well as what is required to be done. This is expected to he made clear by rules and regulations now being prepared by a commission which, during the week of September 17-22, held public hearings in New York, and to he issued earlv next month. While it is impossible to sjate lust what the rules and regulations will provide, their .’ "ovisions will prob ably he in certain important lines. Labels will he required to be strict ly " ecu rate as regards nature, quality ■and locality of origin of the "oods con tained in the package. Analine colors and coal tar preservatives or sweete ners will probably he forbidden, or if permitted will be required to he men tioned in the label. Even the colors considered harmless will not he per mitted if used to conceal inferiority Dealers who sell canned ^f»ods hot tied goods or other goods in original packages coming from .anoth • State are responsible under the f character of the goods in the packages and the correctness of the label and may be fined or imprisoned if the goods are misbranded or contain any thing forbidden bv law, but mtav avoid such responsibility if they can pro duce a guaranty from the partv from whom they purchased that the goods are not misbranded or adulterated, in which case the •‘ 'sponsibilit- is trans fered to the party giving the guaranty.

Goucher, Oct. 16.—The people in this community observed “work day” for the orphanage. The result of this was $50.00. The Baracca class at Ra venna gave $11.00 of this amount. This class is doing extremely well in the w*ay of missionary work. Some of them are very liberal in their gifts. We hope to get them aroused to new duties. There are sixteen in number at iitesent. Judging from the way some of them are sporting we think our class will be decreased in number. We resolved at oup last meeting not to keen a mem ber after he marries. So we expect to have them promoted to the bible class. We would give the names of those who observed “work day,” but some of them seriously object. X. Andrew Oxendine Killed.
