PAUL JONES' UK MA INS. WASHINGTON. July 12. Inquiry was recently made at the State De partment in regard to the grave of John Paul Jones, the great naval hero of Revolutionary days, who died in Paris on July 18. 17S2. He was hurled there with the highest honors by the French government, but it appears that the present location of his grave is not known. The Secretary of State recently addressed a letter to Henry Vignaud of the United States Embas sy, m Paris, asking wnetner tne grave of John Paul Jones in Paris is known and marked. He has received a reply from Mr. Vignaud. saying that, al though he has made earnest and fre quent inquiries of the city authorities in regard to the matter, he has been unable to discover the whereabouts of the grave. One thing established by his inquiries, however, he says, is that John Paul Jones was not buried in the cemetery where the remains of Ia fayette He. as has been supposed by some people.. In another letter it is intimated that, owing to a custom pre vailing in Paris, the remains of John Paul Jones were deposited in a rented grave for a term of years, ami that upon the expiration of the lease, a great many years ago. the bones of this distinguished American patriot were thrown into the Potters Field. ialifornia Harness Shop NO. 639 KING STREET.
