Burial of Frank Steiner.
The last sad rites oer the remains
of the lamented Frunk Steiner were
performed yesterday, and he was laid
away in his final resting place at the
beautitul Uakwood cemetery.
The short but pathetic discourse of
Rev. Dr. King was a merited tribute to
a worthy citizen, a trusted friond, and
a loving husband. As he spoke of
his honored position in commercial
life, and his high standing as a Mason,
the hundreds of friends that sat
around Gthe corpse but rc-echorcd the
sentiment '
At tho close of tho doctor's most
fervent prayer, the Masonic fratarnity,
of which order he was a Sir Knight,
began their beautiful burial ceremony,
aud as they marched in Masonic pha
lanx behind tho bier to
the grave followed by the
vcrv largo concourso of sorrowing
friends, it could well bo said that such
a demonstration was a living witness
to the worth of a deserving fellow-citizen.
As the Masons with solemn
tread surrounded tho grave, and with
uplifted hands performed the cere
mony of their symbolio ritual over
their fullcn brother, it softened the
eyes of many who watched them.
Slowly and sadly they lowered him
into chambers that shut out all tho
troubles and toils of earthly existence.
It was a fitting and appropriate lay
ing away of one who had scaled the
Masonio ladder to the Knight-hood,
and who cherished tho order with a
filial and fraternal love. The feeling
benediction of Doctor King closed tho
last service to a man whose life and
character aro worthy of such lofty and
tender expressions from his host of
friends. If the aged parents of tho
deceased could have witnessed these
ceremonies, it would be at least a feo
bio' atonement for tho loss of their
first born, doubtless, they wished for
power to annihilato time and distance
and be present, for such is love. Death
is no rcspector of persons; tho aged
father, with bowed head and furrowed
cheeks, might gladly welcomothe grim
spectre; but for tho con, with
hopes and prospeots for the
futuro, so well planned, to bo
thus taken in the meridian of lifo with
its sweetest joys and fondest pleasures
clinging so tenderly to him, it shows
the inevitablo and incrutablo laws
that govern us all. If ho bo with Him
to whom he prayed to and in whom he
trusted while on earth, it is a consum
mation devoutotly hoped lor, then will
the blessed and pure in heart yet seo
him. May tho soft green sod of this
southern soil lie gently on his peace
ful breast. May tho mild zephyers
from floral fields soothe sweetly his
long rest.

INQUEST
On the Body of a Traveler.
A passenger on tho Missouri Pacific
north bonnd railroad died yesterday at
1 o'clock p. in., while the train was
passing Echo, a station below Waco,
Tho body was brought to Waco, and
tins moin.hb an inquest was held at
the court of Justice Makeig. The fol
lowing is tho testimony. T. J. Barrow
testified:
I got on tho M. K. & T. lailroad at
Austin, Texas, on tho 13th ; was sent
for by Capt. M. D. Herring, who was
my companion, and in tho sleeping
car; when going into the sleeper
noticed deceased sitting in a position
that indicated feeblo health, and seem
ed to bo suffering from a cough. De
ceased asked ior a glass of water, and
the reporter on said sleeper accommo
dated him, and he, deceased, remarked:
"I wish I was at home." Copt. Her
ring and I then went to tho rear of the
sleeping car, and engaged in conversa
tion perhaps two h6urs ; then the
porter came to us and said: "I believe
that man, deceased, is dead." Capt.
Herring and I then went to deceased,
and found him leaning back in his
seat, and at first glance did not think
he was dead. I examined his heart
and pulse, and found very little signs
ot lite. 1 then poured a glass of whis
key down him and moved him about
in order to find whether or not he had
any life in him ; after using all means
at band found deceased was dead, but
cant say how long deceased
had been in said stato,
I found on said J. II. Gill, several re
ceipts, a letter and bank book, proving
his name to be J. 11. liill, and a letter
addressed to him to Joplin, Mo.: his
bank book showed a credit of 1,801.
11; Ire had twenty dollars of currency
in ma pocKct. i iouna .). ri. uiu in
said condition near a station called
Echo, Bell county, Texas, at 1 p. in.,
13th, '83; from papers and books in
his pookct showed ho was from Joplin,
Mo ; his ticket was from San Antonio,
Jopl'n, Mo.; from facts and circum
stances I judge deceased to come to his
death by cousumpfr'on or similar dis
ease. He also had a letter of credit
addressed to any bank, authorizing
said J. H. Gill to draw on Missouri
bank, of Joplin, Mo., for the amount
of $1,800, and requesting any honor
ing said J. II. Gill to place amount of
draft on back of said letter of credit.
There is no amount entered on back of
said letter.
Tho remaining testimony was simi
lar in import, and the verdict was died
from natural causes. Tho body was
taken in charge by tho Waco Furniture
Company on Saturday evening and em
balmed, and will bo shipped to-niirht.
according 4o instructions from relatives
there.
Raising the Wind.
Some one. name not iriven because
not known, is said to havo succeeded
in making a raiso on Saturday by a
method not approved by moral peoplo,
and for which tho penitentiary is just
around tho corner. The unknown
forged a check on tho Amerioan Na
tional Bank for 1G.25, and using tho
Waco Lumber Co. per 0. as a signature.
Tho bank declined to cash it and tho
forgor wentto tho store of A. Goldberg
on the south side of tho square.
Hero ho purohascd a suit of clothes
for six dollars, and tendered the
check in payment Mr. Goldberg ac
cepted the check, returning tho young
man ten dollars and twenty-fivo cents
in monoy. Tho man disappeared and
has not since been hoard.of. Mr. Ca-
ruthors saw tho note this morning in
company with a roporter, and pro
nounced it a forgery.

AFTERNOON NOTES.
Warm weathor,
Pleanty of rain and a surplus of
mud.
Tho mud on the streets is two thin
for the foot and too thick for a canoe.
Politics ns dead as a deor nail, even
this session of tho legislaturo exciting
no attention.
Thoro is littlo doing in real estate,
but the indications aro good for a ro
vlval of tho business this spring.
The water hauler's wagon stands
idle, and his dreams of street sprink
ling more and moro remote
"I wish (was at homo" wn tho
last pltilul words the poor fellow who
died on the train last night said.
The benign wenther of the rulddlo
of January is a littlo to warm for fires
and h littlo to cool for ice.
Tho churches wore fairly well atten
ded yestorday, tho mild weather mak
ing au offset to the mud.
The wood hauler's vocation is gone,
and tho proceeds of his labor barely
hecp him in cofteo and lottery tickets.
The unprecedented health of tho
city still continues, and tho mortality
promise's to be no greater than in De
cember. Business is at a stand still to day,
nobody coming into tho city and thoso
that are in being too depressed to buy
anything.
The old settlers now begin to talk
of tho rains of 34 when it rained threo
hundred and SG?euty-sevcn days during
the year.
Persons who go out nights should
bo dressed in a pair of six-shooters,
wear a Winchester on tho right shoul
der and sport a cane in tho left, hand
weighing about ten pounds.
There is no danger of tho town cow
hooking any one of nights, but the
chances of being bucked against by a
"stand and deliver" aro pretty good.
Dry goodi were never so cheaD in
Waco before, and now is the time for
the forehanded to buy. With tho first
indications of a good crop prices will
begin to carwl up.
Tree planting on sidewalks is beim?
done on a largo scale all over tho cjty,
Stimulated bv the favnrnhln nnsnn nrwl

up their losses and gains of tho past
year, ana it tins weathor continues
they will havo tnno to think over the
good deeds and sins of thn riftiir. vnnr
and draw a balance sheet of tho same.
Tho loss in ofi-ars this winter to thn
professional eee raiser, amounts to n.
considerable sum. Tho price has
averaged 16 to 20 conts asrainst 30 to
40 last winter. It Is a result of over
