Stricken While in King
Street Store and Expires
Immediately.
DUE TOHEARTDISEASE
Deceased Had Been in Declining
Health During Past Few Years and
Recently Condition Was Critical.

Shortly after eleven o'clock this
morning people passing up and down
King street learned that John A.
Marshall, one of the most gen
orally known of Alexandria cit
izens, had died suddenly in the store
of John A. Marshall & Bros, and in a
short time the news was sent over the
city by telephone. While intimate
friends and acquaintance of the de-
ceased had known for years that his
health was declining from chronic
cardiac troubles, they were not pre-
pared for the sudden shock occasioned
by the announcement of his demise.
Mr.. Marshall entered his store, on
the south side of King street, between
Royal and Pitt, about eleven o'clock
and proceeded 10 the back part of the
store. Maury w. Gaines, who was in
the front section Of the store, heard
Mr.. Marshall's cane drop to the floor
and FASTENED back to ascertain the
cause. Upon reaching Mr.. Marshall,
to his horror, he saw he was speech
less-in fact he was dead.
DR.. Arthur Snowden was summoned
and he soon reached the store, but,
not, however, until several minutes
after death had occurred.
The remains were later removed to
the residence of the deceased, South
west corner of Wolfe and Pitt street.
John A. Marshall was born in Prince
William county Ga years ago. In early
life he was smployed on the Southern
Railway. About two-score years ago
he relinquished that employment and
opened a general merchandise store,
OH the northwest corner of Duke, and
Favette streets. He later removed to-
the northeast corner of Duke and
Henry streets.
After continuing in mercantile pur-
suits for several years, he disposed of
the store and engaged in the timber
business, especially in buying and
selling railway ties. He was a most
successful business men and his pur-!
chases of timber lands spreading over
many acres brought him large profits.
Recently declining health had rendered
it necessary for him to retire from
an active business life, but he always
kept in close touch with the business
of Alexandria. He was foremost in
organizing the Alexandria National
Bank, of which institution he was
president.
Mr.. Marshall was member OF
Alexandria Lodge, No. 75S, B. P. O..
e. In social life he was genial and
popular, and had many friends and
acquaintances.
The deceased leaves a widow, and
four daughters-Mrs. Mary A. Peass,
wife of Dr.. T. M. Pease, of Philadel-
phia, Mrs. India Haggerty, wife Of
Cornelius Haggenty, Of Philadelphia;
Mrs. B. F. Cook, of New York, and
Miss Daisy Marshall, of this city. His
brother, Charles B. Marshall, is a
member of City Council and a we'll
known business man.

IOWA CITY. Iowa, May 6.-Students
at the dental college at Drake Uni
versity may be admitted without
examination to the same standing in
the college of dentistry at the uni
versity Of Iowa. This privilege OF
transfer was anticipated in the recent
merger Of the two schools. But 1t
soon developed that the college of
dentistry at Iowa university, being a
member Of the Dental Association OF
American Universities, could not adj
nit students from dental college not
a member Of the association without
examination. In the interest OF the
students at. Drake. Dean Hosford at
tended a meeting of the association
at Boston, and on his return today re-
ports that by unanimous vote the stu
dents at Drake may be accepted at
Iowa without examination.
Another action of vital Importance
TO the association Is that the medical
and dental boards of England have
decided to credit all courses OF study
taken in the colleges of this assocla-
ton. 1t is possible, Therefore. that a
student in one of these colleges may
transfer to Canada or to England
without examination. This Tlvlege
is not open to the other dental col
leges in this country.
The colleges in the Dental Assocta-
t,on Of American Universities, which
represents the highest standards IN
dental education, are the dental COL
,eaes at the state universities of Iowa.
