An application for pardon for Cephas Jones, which Was granted to-day, has been pending for Some time. The circumstances have been thor- oughly investigated by the Department of Justice, and the officials are quite well satisfled that Jones 4s innocent of the crime of which he was convict- ed. This erime was the first of a series of out Tages committed in the eastern part of the city several years ago, and which greatly excited the whole community. It was committed on the night of November 6, 1: ind the victim was a youn; ‘Smith, who resided on 101! street northeast.

Jones was among those taken into custody. At first she failed to identify him, and he was released. He ‘Was subsequently rearrested, and she then ex- pressed the opinion that he was the man, He was tried in December before Judge Olin and defended by Messrs, A. A. Bir- ney and E. A. Newman. ‘The trial resulted in a disagreement. While in Jail await- ing a new trial another similar outrage was com- mitted, and the public excitement was intensified. When ‘Jones came to trial again at the March term, 1878, he was convicted. At that time it was claimed that many of Jones’ witnesses, by Whom he would have endeavored to prove an alibi, were afraid to go on the stand for him, on account of the popular feeling. He wasentenced to the peni- tentlary for thirty years, a sentence afterward confirmed by the Court in General Term. Jones always has protested his innocence. After his con- viction another outrage of precisely similar char- acter Was perpetrated, which gave rise to the opinion that all three outrages were performed by the same person. Jones’ counsel a few weeks ago appited for a pardon. ‘he papers were referred to the district attor- ney, Who has made a thorough investigation of Une Case, examining the officers, detectives and citi- zens Who Were fimiliar With the case, and some of the Jurors who convicted Jones.

It was promptly answered. it appears, by a well-dressed man, who Went to Staunton and introduced himself to the young lady as ex-Congressman E. J. Pelsue, and ‘sald he wished to engage her services. She 1s a well educated lady and speaks several langu Buenvly. He was pleased with her, We Kindly informed her, and thought his children would also Uke her, He'represented that his wife and two children were in Los Angeles, Cal, and said that if he secured her services ‘she Would have to purchase her own ticket, which would cost $97.70. ‘The young lady ‘did not have that ‘amount ot money and she frankly told him so. She had oniy $35 and he said he Would make iU ail right, She accepted his ofer as nurse and governess for the two children and Was to receive a monthly salary of $50, in addition to her board. She left her hoine when she arrived in this city she was met by employer who escorted her to a hotel where remained until the next morning, which Was Si day. He returned to the hotel in the afternoon and stated that they would take the 8:15 train In the evening and for her to give him the $1 and he would make up the balance and purchase her Ucket.

Major Blood, the well-known Christian worker, has established a Probation Agency in this city simnflar to such institutions in other cities, where & great deal of good work has been done among Persons arrested, especially those of the poorer classes, who are unable to pay counsel, and those who have for the first time been brought before the courts, and for Whose reformation there 1s some hope.’ The object of the society 1s to have a representative at the Police Court each morning, to act under the direction of the judge, and with the advice of the prosecuting aitorney'and chief OF police, take persons on probation who have for the frst time been arrested for violating the law. ‘They also propose to assist persons unable to pay counsel, and visit the Inmates of the jail and workhouse, and do all in thelr power toward re- forming then. Major Blood said to a Stax reporter that he did not propose to screen old. offenders who. were alinost past redemption, The proper place for such persons, he thought, was behind the bars. ‘He sald he would do all in his power toward bring- ing such persons to justice, and he did not want persons to think that he was’ going to interiere tn the prosecution of such persons.” ‘The work was to be confined principally to young persons. For instance, when young men, siranyers in the city, are arrested as Vagrants, they proposed, with the consent of the judge, to take them out and get them employment, if possible. Such work, he said, has been successfully carried on in Boston and other clues, as Early Closing. To the Editor of the Evenina Srax. The early-closing movement, which proposes to make a half holiday of Saturday afternoon, ts making rapid progress In some localities, The daily papers have chronicled tbe almost utter stagnation of business in New York city on Satur- day last owing to the very general acquiescence in the movement by merchants and manufacturers in nearly every line of business. There would seem Uo be no good reason Why nearly or quite tae whole of our large stores in tis city night not be closed at noon on Saturday, {{ not for the whole year at least for the summer months On the first Saturday in June next one of the prominen’ groceries in Philadelpita, Messrs, Fink Acker & Co., will ciose Weir place of business at 1 O'clock, and until further notice, “in order to give their employes tme for recreation and to assist the humaue movement to give ail employes the same recreation.” This determination is oe with the statement Of the fact that their trade is greater after that hour on Saturday than upon the whole of any other day of the week, butin the confidence, as they say, “Chat the publle Will Support them in this movement and make their eee the morning or upon some other ay.” ‘They also purpose, if sustained, to con- Unue the half holiday Unroughout the entire year, excepting only the month of December, They also say, in ard =6to their help, “We ho to be rey by @ still biguer stand- ard of service, more ‘vim’ on the part of the salesmen, more rapidity on the part of the clerks, and at least an ras “2 at quickness in the steps of the errand boys. It has not been 80 long since We were the salesinen, clerks, errand and boys, and we have not forgotten the ef- t of wholesome recreation On ourselves.” What can be successfully done tn Philadelphia can also be done in Washington; tke people m: and mould public opinion, and if the people will resolve to buy nothing after }2or 1 o'clock on Savurasy, the work will be more than half done. Objection will un- doubdtedly be raised on the ground, thai as working- men are not paid their weea’s Wages until Saturday night, they must of necessity expend much of it on that évening. Now, Ubis is where euployers may | aid the work very matenally, viz, by paying their help on Saturday morning, or’ Mouday moruing, or even on Tuesday, as many of the manufacturing establishments of New England do. I believe that it would be a decided advantage to our stores generally if the help were paid thetr week's wages at any time other than Saturday night, The lait holiday can hardly fall to be of great Denetil, as it Will afford all classes, Who usually totl from & O'clock to 6, and often’ until 7 and 9, to enjoy and participate in such athletic Sports ‘and pastimes as they please; to see and enjoy the meny natural advantages of our city, usually closed to thein; to Sail on tie broad river or loiter in the grand woods adjoining the city’; to drink in the beautiesof land- scape, and the pure airof heaven, many of them for the first time for years.
