 Guggenheim, was shot and instantly 

 killed in Sycamore avenue. Long Beach, 

 N. J., Saturday, March 10. He and 

 Joseph Winstock, a greenhouse work- 

 er, had seen two men lurking about 

 the place, and found them behind a 

 hedge. "There they are," Lackey said 

 to Winstock. "Shoot," one of the men 

 cried, and two shots were fired. The

Isaac D. Sailer. 



Isaac D. Sailer, a Philadelphian, 

 well-known to the older generation of 

 horticulturists, died at Orlanda, Fla., 

 March 6th. He first came into promi- 

 nence some thirty years ago from hav- 

 ing sold to the American Florist Co. the 

 nucleus of the present elaborate publi- 

 cation, known as the Florists' Directory. 

 For many years he was a familiar figure 

 at club meetings, flower shows and 

 conventions. Twenty-five years ago he 

 was in the cigar business and among 

 other favorite brands introduced the 

 Bon Silene. a fragrant whiff which 

 men like Ned Lonsdale, Bill Harris, 

 Robert Craig, Jim GriflBn and John 

 Burton used to swear by. He has been 

 retired from business for a good many 

 years and spent most of his winters in 

 the south. 



John E. Kelly. 



John E. Kelly, whose death occurred 

 last week at Newport, R. I., was a 

 native of County Galway, Ireland, and 

 came to this country during the Civil 

 war. workng on 1 ong Island before 

 removing to Newport He was em- 

 ployed by the late Seth Bateman and 

 at Midaleboro, when the railroad be- 

 tween Newrort and Boston was first 

 laid out. In 1865 he was engaged as 

 gardener by the owners of the prop- 

 erty at the end of Coggesball avenue, 

 near Bailey's beach, and was continued 

 by later owners, Peleg Hall and Benja- 

 min Thaw, on the same estate, a 

 period of 52 years, having been em- 

 ployed by Mr. ThaAv for the past 18 

 years. He is survived by four chil- 

 dren — former Aldennan Michael F. 

 Kelly, John H. A. Kelly and Miss 

 Katherine A. Kelly, of Newport, and 

 Andrew J. Kelly, of Boston. 



A GREAT CALAMITY. 



A tornado swept over a portion of 

 Indiana on Sunday afternoon and left 

 in its wake over a score of dead and 

 many times that number of severely 

 wounded, while the loss of property 

 aggregates into the millions. New- 

 castle is noted for its large ranges 

 of greenhouses, lying directly in its 

 path, and where a few days ago acres 

 of glass were covering roses just in the 

 height of their season, and growers 

 were anticipating the Easter harvest 

 time, now a large portion lies in com- 

 plete ruin. 



F. J. Benthey is the heaviest loser 

 and bis entire plant of 110,000 sq. ft. 

 of glass is probably a total loss. Re- 

 ports are incomplete on account of 

 broken wires, but when great factories 

 are blown down like leaves there can he 

 little chance for greenhouses to escape. 

 Another range in its path was the 

 Heller plant, known as the South Park 

 Floral Co., which specialized in Ameri- 

 can Beauties. The houses of Wm. Ditt- 

 man lay a little to one side and the 

 loss is not so heavy, which the Olinger 

 range three miles to the east and the 

 Peter Wieland place two miles west, 

 escaped almost entirely. The stock 

 from F. J. Benthey's range is sold by 

 his father in Kennicott Bros., Chicago, 

 and they have the sympathy of the 

 trade in their loss.
