In MemOriam.


To the Officers and Comrades of U.
s. Grant Post, No.579:
We, your committee, beg leave to
report the following relative to u
late Comrade John S. Luthy, who de-
parted this life January 80, 1913:
Comrade Luthy was a man respect
ed and loved by all who knew him:
an honest man, a patriotic citizen, a
~forbearing friend and faithful husband
and father. When the dark clouds
lowered over our beloved land and
all men were called upon to serve the
right as they saw it, he did not fail to
respond. He enlisted August, 1862, in
the Federal army and served three
years, returning to civil life in 1866.
He bore hatred to no man and appeal
to his sympathy and charity was never
made in vain.
Comrade Luthy has responded to
the call of "Taps.p His tent Is dark
ened and he has fallen into eternal
sleep. May every promise made to
the righteous be justified in himl

A VALLEY CALAMITY.

~
Such was the burning of the elegant
mansion on the premises known IS
"The Naples" To me it seems al
most as tragic as the fate of it's pro-
jeetor and former owner, Clarence N.
Jones-and as u~ncalled-for, from the
finite point of view. Ordinary chance
and ordinary al ought have pre-
served both to endure for my limited
years, at least; but they r gone,
and Arcadia Valley is the poorer for
their going.
The mansion was consumed by fire
last Sunday morning, about four
O'Clock. There were in the building
Mr.. and Mrs. George Walker and
child, and Mr.. Albert Walker. When
they were awakened by the fire it
was too far advanced to be subdued,
and barely enough time was given
them to escape. Tt is believed to have
originated from some unnoted defect
in the furnace, although it had been
repaired only a short time previous;
but there can be no certain knowledge
of how the confagration started. We
only know that the structure which
beautihed the premises and adorned
the valley is in ashes. 1t seemed to
have been doomed, for a fire therein
on the 10th of lost January was with
difficulty subdued after having con-
~siderably damaged the interior.
After the death of Mr.. Jones "The
Naples" was put on the market, and,
after a time, sold to Mr.. Cabell Gray
of st. Louis. He, about a year ago,
leased it, and since then it has been
used as a clubhouse, in charge of Mr..
Geo. Walker. Mr.. Gray came down
from st. Louis Sunday morning to
view the ashes. He stated that he
did not know just what the amount of
insurance was on the building. 1t is
said, however, that rs 800 was carried
by local insurance agencies and 81 ,00O
by a st. Louis agency. These figures,
though, are not official. The Ironton
Insurance Agency cancelled policies
on the building to the amount of 81, 0OC
January 18th, preferring not to carry
the risk longer. Building and con-
tents were a total loss-in the neigh.
borhood, possibly, Of $4,000. The
entire property cost Mr.. Jones origin
ally just about $4,000.
"The Naples" grounds were bought
by Mr.. Jones about thirteen years age
and he at once began fitting them fol
a summer residence. About thirty
acres were included in the purchase
and neither care nor expense wal
spared in adapting the property tC
the purpose intended. In addition tt
the main building there were erected
a tenants house, a stone water tower
barn, and out-houses. The interiors
of the dwellings we're fitted with al
modern conveniences, and the BARI
is a model. The lawns were beauti
fed with 1owersand shrubbery; orch
ards of the various fruits were planted
and in the gardens and hot-house,
were to be found every vegetable deli
cacy for the table.
Mr.. Jones seemed ave so happ.
as when enjoying the pure air ant
tempered sunshine of his summe
home, and its latch string was Away
on the outside to his friends ant
neighbors. With some of us, hinge
mighty pleasant recolle ctions of tn,
times that he was with US, and I'll
little wonder that We mourn becaus,
we shall know neither him nor "Th'
Naples" more.

her death had a fall from which she
sustained a broken hip. Her advance
ed age made recovery impossible and
the end soon came. The deceased
was a native of Tennessee, but came
to Missouri with her parents when a

home in st. Francois and Iron coun-
ties for the past eighty years and
more. Just think of it. -Four score
years. What change she had witness
ed. She saw Southeast Missouri
transformed from a wilderness to
what it is to-day. Iron County was
not organized until twenty-five years

in 1887. Two sons, John L. Marshall,
of Ironton, and W. F. Marshall, of
California, and two daughters, Mrs.
James Cook, of st. Louis, and Mrs.
T. M. Sills, of California, mourn the
loss of a kind and indulgent mother.

good woman. The funeral occurred
from the residence Sunday afternoon
at one O'Clock and interment was
made in the cemetery at the cove east
of town. A large number of people
we're in attendance, To the bereaved
we extend our most profound sym

PerIous Situation.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., June 10.
Fourteen men of wealth, representing
railroad and car building interest in
the United States running into hun
dreds Of millions of dollars. trusted
their lives to the skill of Martin
