THE LATE BRO . ELLIS JONES .
ON Thursday afternoon the remains of our late Bro . Ellis Jones , Immediate P . M . of the Old King ' s Arms Lodge , No . 28 , and late senior partner in the firm of Messrs . Ellis Jones , Son & Co ., Manchester warehousemen , of Fore-street , City , werej laid lovingly to rest in the pretty little cemetery at Ealing , in the presence of a large and sorrowing circle of friends . The circumstances attending the death of our brother were peculiarly distressing . On Wednesday
evening in last week he left the City by his nsual train for Mill Piatt Hall , Isleworth , where he had for some time resided , and on his arrival at tbe station , at about a quarter to seven o'clock , he found his carriage awaiting him , in tbe ordinary course . Accompanying him ivas an old friend , Brother George Reynolds , merchant , and an ex-Mayor of Grahamstown , Sonth Africa , and his groom . Driving
down from the station , and jusfc as he was passing into the main road , Brother Jones observed a cab standing at the entrance gates , on which he shouted to the driver iu charge of it not to move , as we was coming out . The man took no notice of the caution given to him , however , bufc deliberately came through fche gateway , the result of whioh was that Bro . Jones ' s carriage had to be
suddenly pulled np by the side of the kerb , when , cannonading against a post , ifc was overturned , and its occupants thrown violently into the road . Fortunately , Bro . Reynolds and his groom escaped unhurt j but Bro . Jones was shot out a distance of five or six feet from the vehicle , falling heavily on to the hard road , and it was speedily found he had sustained severe internal injuries . He was
conveyed home as speedily as possible , and Dr . Bott , a resident surgeon , having been called in , did all he could to alleviate the sufferings of his patient , pending the arrival of Sir James Paget , who was telegraphed for from town . Sir James , however , was not at home , and Dr . Savory , the eminent surgeon , of Brook-streefc , attended
in his stead , when ifc was found the unfortunate sufferer had sustained a fracture of three ribs , in addition to a severe shock to the system . Pleurisy set iu , and about five o ' clock on Sunday morning , mnoh earlier than had been anticipated by his medical advisers , death ensued . The sad event has caused a deep sense of
Borrow and regrefc , not only amongst the deceased s immediate relatives , from whom he has been taken at the comparatively early age of fifty . six , but amongst those also in commercial circles who knew aim , aud appreciated his great force of will and his indomitable perseverance in matters of bnsiness . Coming up from Wales when he was bufc sixteen years of age , he was apprenticed for eight years at
wentford , only a mile and a-balf from where he lately resided . After that he was for twenty years in the employ of Messrs . Cook , Son and Co ., drapers , of St . Paul ' s Churchyard , where he passed through all the grades before reaching fche highest responsible post , nnder fche proprietors ; and subsequently he was for ten and a-half years associated with Mr . T . J . Thomas , formerly of Watling-streefc , and of late
years of Qneen Victoria-street . A few months ago thafc partnership was dissolved by mutual consent , and Bro . Ellis Jones and his son tarted in Fore-street , where they have already reared an extensive " "•"M thriving business . Deceased was for many years an active and ealoua member of the Wesleyan Methodist connection , amongst ? , his name is as " a household word , " especially in the Hammertnith circuit , whilst his large-hearted sympathy and unstinted
beoience are known only to the grateful recipients of his bounty , the" l a w' ^ ow > k ' son and partner , and two daughters to deplore br Ji , ® a r ^ '' ay an inquest on the remains of our lamented the V ^ held at Iale 9 worth > before Dr .

followed to tne grave the master whom they had learnt to love and respect , having come down from town in a body for that purpose . Tbe scene was a very imposing one , as the inhabitants of the little town crowded to the doors and windows in sorrowful admiration , and silent regret for one who had done so much fur fche d strict . There was a vast crowd afc the cemetery , and the little chapel conld not
contain one-half the friends who sought to be present at the service . The opening prayers were said by the Rev . . 1 . Ingram , pastor of the Wesleyan Chapel , Brentford , who also read the 90 th Psalm , after which the Rev . John Baker , M .

The funeral arrangements were entrusted to Mr . J . H . Studley , undertaker , of Brentford , who executed his duties in a very satisfactory manner .
