ETERNAL REST.


II becomes our sorrowful duty to-
day To chronicle the death of Prof.
Geo. W. Drew who came to Phoenix
from California soHe two and half
months ago with his family, hoping
to restore his health which had been
shattered by long and arduous laboIs
as a college professor.
He was a graduate of Yale college,
class of 1870. and of Colum bia Law
School New York city, class of 1872.
He had received a thorough col
lege and legal education and after
the conclusion of his law course was
admitted to practice II the supreme
courts of New York and Massachu-
sets. For two and half years he
followed his chosen profession in
Boston, when his health becoming
impaired he went to the Pacific
coast In 1877, and his fine scholarly
attachments being in demand he de-
voted his time to instruction in the
classics and mathematics in San
Mateo college and afferward
in ether educational institu-
tions of the state till compelled to
relinquish the business entirely
about year ago SINCE which time
he has devoted himself to vain
effort TO regain his waning health,
finally coming to this city in hope
that our warm, dry climate would
afford relief.
1t has been the writer's good forte
une to have known him several years,
and always as a polished scholar
and refined gentleman of broad and
liberal ideas and a most kindly and
sympathetic heart
He was a native OF Rockland,
Maine, and at tn e time Of his death
which occurred yesterday at II 30
a. m, was 40 years, months, and Z
days old.
He leaves IN our midst to mourn
HIS uu'iAlOly GSdtu, oCNOlSN ouu
heroic wife and little son who
have the deepest sympathy of the
many new friends they have already
made among US.
'There ia no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming NJ thu Nav
There is no deathI An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best beloved sway,
And then we call them "dead.'
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immo rial spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is lIfe-there are no dead"

A CHICAGO inventor has perfected

claimed, it will prove far Better than

This is the first accident that has

Yesterday afternoon as J. S. Drew
was coming toward Phoenix on the
Tempe road he found a man lying
near the Grand Canal bridge who
seeI. ed to be in great pam. Upon
inquiry Dir. Drew learned that the
man had fallen from q wagon on
which he was riding TO the head of
the Maricopa ditch where he said he
wns at work, and that the parties
who were with him had gone on and
left him. A buggy which was pass
sing at the lime was secured to carry
the wounded man to town Short
! ly after being placed in the buggy
he complained of intense pain in the

they again started toward PhOeniz

THE VALLkY BANK OF
PHGNIX.

The above is the name Of a uew
Banking House organized in Phee-
nix to>day by the officers Of the
First National Bank of Phoenix,
who are the officers of the new bank
except as to the President. Hon.
NJ. H. Sherman is President CT the
new hank; Col. VIM. Christy is
its Cashier, and E. j. Bennett, Esq,
is Assistant Cashier. The object of
the change is to untrammcl the poll
icy of the Bank, and permit it to
make larger loans than the First
National was allowed by the acts of
Congress to make.
The First National has been pros
porous and it has done a good busi-
ness which was rapidly increasing
snd the new bank will succeed &c
tnat business, assume all liabilities
and become the owner of all lis as
sets. The policy of the new bank
will be more liberal than that of the
old because the law will permit it.
We predict for this new bank a
prosperous career and one which
will be of great benefit 10 the whole
community. A banking institution
with such men at Is helm as the Of
ficers of the Valley Bank will insure
safety TO it's depositors, accommodate
tions and fair dealings with lis GUS
toners generally, and we heartily
say to them, GOD speed.

Tho casa Gfande Fire.

At eight o'clock on the evening of
the Slh, FIRE suddenly broke out in
the interior of Thomas Tomliuson's
store building, at Casa Grande, and
the spread of the flames was almost
instantaneous. Mr. Tom,inson was
posting up his ledger when the fire
started, and was compelled to rush
from the building without passing
to gather up his books. A few mo.
mcnts later the flames had enveleped
two thirds of the business portiOa of
the town, and all efforts to save the
buildings or their contents proved
futile. The destruction was cons
plete. The establishments burned
out were: Smith & Murray's large
wholesale and retail mercantile
house, Thos. TOmlinscn's mercantile
house, Bilderback's saloon and build
ing, the Transfer saloon, John Sulli-
vans saloon, the Railroad chop
house, the barber shop, and the
Texas and California stage compa>

mated at $4,000. Smith & Muir
