The loss on the building occupied by the Mermod-Jaccard Jewelry Company until it was destroyed by fire, has been adjusted. It is stated that the Kennett estate, of which the building was part, will receive $125,000 as reimbursement for the loss.

Several plans for a new building are under consideration. One of them contemplates a $400,000 structure, the basement and first floor to be occupied by the jewelry company, and the rest of the building to be given over to offices for women or such enterprises as will bring women to the building. According to Goodman King, of the jewelry company, no plan for a structure to occupy the site of the building destroyed has been decided upon as yet. The jewelry company and the Kennett heirs are in consultation on the subject.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 4, 1895. CHARLES F. MATHEY, Treasurer and one of the founders of the Mermod-Jaccard Jewelry Company, died at his home 3438 Russell avenue, Sunday morning at 8 o'clock.

A host of warm personal friends will mourn his loss, and the business men of the city will miss from their circle an energetic and progressive man. His funeral will take place from the family residence Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock. The body will be interred in Bellefontaine Cemetery. Mr. Mathey was born in Locle, Switzerland, in the year 1832. When he was 10 years old he emigrated to America with his mother, and immediately took up his residence in St. Louis, where he has remained ever since. He embarked in the jewelry business at once and has remained at it ever since. He was connected with the old firm of the E. Jaccard Jewelry Company, which afterwards merged into the D. C. Jaccard Jewelry Company, and was one of the founders and principal factors in the success of the present firm. Mr. Mathey leaves a wife and two children.
