REV. DR.. MARKS.

New Decatur, Ala, Jan. 1.-The
Rev. DIR. Marks, retired Methodist
clergyman, aged 80 years, is dead
near shelbyville, Tenn, from a dis
ease which baffied the diagnosis OF

thin sheet Of cartilage or bone com.
menced its growth four years ago and
enciroled the mans body from the
pelvis to the chest, gradually suspend
ing the functions Of the organs until
death ensued. The pressure of the
cartilaginous growth upon the heart
and other organs of respiration is be-
lieved to have been the immediate
cause Of death.

The work on Quimby field was start
ed, Wednesday, and on its completion
the public grounds will be in a more
favorable condition for the satisfactory
playing of the football games this fall
and in fact the general utility of the
field will be added to. The two city
teams are now engaged in grading the
ground and this will be done by remov-
ing that part of the bank along which
the roadway reached the upper end of
the grounds and transferring it to the
opposite side of the field. This will be
done for distance between the foot
ball goal posts and they have been piac-
ed in the past and thus the width of
the gridiron will be extended and the
grounds will be in fine condition.
