Although he had been critically i'll

His mother was a Miss Frost, and was

belonged to an influential family in
London, England, but Lord Vernon
spent many years in the United States,
making his home in St. Louis.

lived in the Cape for four years, dur
ing the time he was interested with

MRS. LAURA JUNG
WEEDS c. WALTERS
Couple Go 10 Benton, Where
Ceremony is Performed
Bride is Widow.

News of the wedding of Mrs. Laura
Jung and Charles Walthers reached
their friends in the Cape yesterday.
The couple were married quietly on
Monday afternoon at Benton, whence
they stole away without the knowl-
edge of their friends. The news was
quite surprise, as nobody had suS-
pected that they were engaged.
The bride is the widow of the late
Henry Jung, a lightning-rod agent,
who died some time ago. She has one
child. The bridegroom is a carpenter
and emanates from prominent fam
lily of Cape County. He has been en-
ployed by the Taylor Bros, contract
ing firm, which is erecting the new
laundry on Sprigg street. He has two
children, girl and a boy, by his
former marriage.
Mr.. Walthers has been making his
home with his sister, Mrs. Frederick
VIII liNCS SItcCk.
Mrs. Jung has been living on Bloom
field street, near Pacific. She left the
beautiful home on the Jackson road
shortly after the death of her husband
some two years ago, and moved to the
address on Bloomfield street.
Nothing was known of the mar
riage until friends were told by the
couple after their return Tuesday
They slipped away quietly
and went to Benton in the automobile
Of a friend, without confiding in him
the intent and purpose of their trip.
Just where the couple will make their
future home is not yet definitely
Known. They will most likely retain
The old home Of the bride, who has
been living with her mother.

William w. Vernon, who left the
Cape two years ago to go to England,
where he joined the British colors. was
killed in the battle on the Somme, in
France, Oct. 10 Of this year, accord
ing to a letter which Mrs. T. D.
Hirschberg of st. Louis, has received
from Lady William Vernon, mother of
William w. Vernon.
The body Of the young soldier was
buried in an unmarked grave behind
the lines of battle, and his relatives
will never be able to distinguish his
mound from those of his comrades,
which dot the devasted land of con-
fict for many, many miles.
Lady Vernon, who is now living in
"The Grange" her country estate, at
Coslsdon Surrey, England, had receiv-
ed only the mere announcement that
her son had died in one of the British
offensive movements, when she COM
municated with her sister in St. Louis.
Lady Vernon, in looking through the
effects of the dead soldier, found a
number Of letters written to young
Vernon from friends in Cape Girar-
deau, and she asked Mrs. Hirschberg
to obtain the addresses of a number
of young men and young women in the
Cape so that she could communicate
with them.
Billy" as he was known during his
residence in the Cape, distinguished
himself on the battlefield. He was
promoted to Lieutenant only a few
weeks before he was slain, his mother
wrote, and the officer, who notified
Lady Vernon of her sons death, said
he fell in the thickest of the fray.
Lieut.. Vernon was a civil engineer,
and came to the Cape three years ago
to work on the Frisco construction
work along the river front. He re-
manned here until the early winter of
1914, or several months after the war
broke out. While here he was a So
cial favorite, and the night before his
departure for Canada, where he en-
barked for England, he was the guest
of honor at a banquet given by his
friends.
He Joined as a volunteer with a Ca
madam regiment, and sailed for Eng

By the time that the hose companies had arrived on the scene and stretched their hose the building was mass of flames.
 During the fire the wires of the Southern New England Telephone company, which were stretched across the roof of the laundry. were melted and put out of commission. The com- pany had me% at work about daylight Wednesday morning and about eight o'clock the wires were again m work ing order.
 The cause of the fire is as yet mystery as every night before the building is closed up all of the fires in the boilers are pulled down to avoid any chance of a fire. Tuesday night this was done and upon investigation Wednesday morning there was no sign of any fire in the fireboX of the boiler
