The town was shocked yesterday by the intelligence that Moses JONES an old citizen had been suddenly killed. The accident occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Jones was engaged at his farm on the Salisbury Road in binding a load of hay to bring into the city. He was on top of the wagon, and after binding the poles at the front of the wagon, was pressing down on the other end when the treacherous pole snapped at the middle and he was precipitated head foremost to the earth. The man with him sprang to intercept his fall, but was too late. His forehead struck the ground and his neck was broken. Mr. Jones was in his 81st year. He leaves four daughters and two sons. The funeral will take place Saturday, leaving his son's residence, Salisbury Road for Boundary Creek at 9 a.m. Moses Jones was son of the late Henry JONES and the youngest of five brothers, one of whom was Jacob JONES, father of Oliver JONES, Esq., Moncton. The family originally came from Germany and the connections in this country are numerous. The deceased took great delight in agricultural pursuits and had accummulated a considerable fortune. Deceased was 40 years a Magistrate.
