Their Last Rest.
ing Place.

from the Fort Worth Evening Mail Feb. PAL
After having been embalmed the re-
mains of Mr. G. w. Lamborn, whose sad
death was chronicled in these columns
yesterday, were taken to the Knights
of Phythias hall, where they have been
lying in state all day. The body was
placed in a silver mounted casket, in
which were laid the Phythian helmet,
sword and belt Of the deceased. Dur
ing the day the remains were viewed
by a large number of friends, who low
ed and honored the deceased during
life, and who dropped a tear over him
in death.
At $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon the
remains were escorted to the Fourth
street Methodist church by the Knights,
where the beautiful funeral services of
the Pythians were performed, and a
few appropriate and touching remarks
made by Revs. A. A. Allison and j. M.
Wells, both members of the order.
Tonight the remains will start for
Lexington, Mo-, where earth will be
returned to earth, and dust will to dust
be gwen. Capt j. M. Hartsfield will
accompany the corpse and deliver it to
the Borrowing mother, whose heart is
stricken with grief at the untimely
death of the son she loved SO well.
The deceased vas a young gentleman
just entering the golden age oflife, and
wa esteemed and beloved by all who
knew him. Strong men, who under
adversely of their own faced trouble
with a defiant eye, bowed their heads
over the body Of Cyrus Lamborn and
wept as they looked for the last time or
the face of the dead. A good, true.
k~indhearted man has gone, but hil
memory will yer remain with us anC
be kept green and fresh by those who
knew his worth.

A FATAL FALL.
Mr.. Cyrus W. Lamborn Throw9
From His Horse Yesterday,
and Fatally Hurt.
A Sorrowful Conclusion of a Days
Happy sport in a Country
Pasture Near Fort Worth.

From the Fl. Worth Gazette, Feb. 23.l
A Joyous looking cavalcade OF young
gentlemen and ladies riding up Main
street Yesterday afternoon between 2
and 8 o'clock, attracted the attention of
nearly every passerby. One could see
at q glance that they were bound on an
EQUESTRIAN PICNIC.
which indeed vast he real object of the
pleasure seekers. The gentlemen were
Messrs. Lamborn, Reyer, Snow, Hollis
and one other whose name was not
learned, all we'll known and respected
young men of Fort Worth, and their
fair companions were Misses Peak,
Fakes, Bell, Kelley and Tevis, popular
Young ladies in the social circles Of this
city. They were all we'll mounted and
rode out of town In the gayest humor,
little thinking that ere the twilight
shadows fell, their laughter would be
hushed, their gayety changed to gloom.
| The purpose of the excursion was a
| horse back chase after that deniZen OF
| the prairies made famous by the pen OF
Twain, and latterly by the Old
Alcalde,
THE MULE EARED RABBIT.
These animals were said to be very nu'
merous in the pasture of Mr.. Lane
whose place is six miles due north from
the city, and thither the party wendeC
its way. Arrived there, the sport
speedily opened up, and several of thu
"Texas hares" were caught by thu
fleet footed hounds of Mr.. Lane, wht
entered into the fun with all the zest O
his young visitors. Always among tn
foremost riders was Mr.. Lamborn. H,
rode we'll, and with MIR. Lane KEEP
nearest to the dogs. They were in full
chase when it happened. Mr.. Lamborl

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

SEELY, KANSAS, Feb. 26th, 1886.
EDITOR INTELLIGENoER:-l thought
you would like to hear from the garden
of Eden. The first of February snow
fell a foot deep on the level, and the
wind blew the snow in the railroad
cuts and the trains were stopped for two
or three days, and we did not get any
mail; the engine and caboose were six
hours going five miles. l think the
north pole broke through and let the
whole business out. The winter here
has been very cold, the thermometer
went down as far as 81 degrees below
zero. There were q great many cattle,
sheep, hogs and chickens frozen to
death in this county. Do not let this
discourage anybody from coming to the
west, it is nothing when you get used
to it. About all the water here Is
slkali; there is a great deal of the land
that has alkali spots on it, and where
thew are corn and wheat does not grow
worth q cent. The wheat is about
frozen out. Wheat is selling at Is to 80
cents per bushel; corn Is % to 80 cents
per bushel; hogs is $S 25 per hundred.
When you get here you will not find
Lafayette county with all its charms
and lovely blue grass. Yours as ever,

AT ST. LOUIS.

Continuation of the Agitation, 1ut the
Strikes Are Not Numerous.
ST. Louis, May 3.-The eight-hour agitation
still continues in this city, but the strikes and
lockouts are fewer in number than were gener-
ally anticipated. Molders to the number of two
hundred struck to-day in the foundries Of Chris
TOPPER & Simpson. Scherper & Koker, Pulls
Bros, and the McMurray- Judge Company. The
strikers demand eight hours and pay by the
day unsteady of piece-wo Five hundred
employees of the Southern Bagging
Company demanded fewer hours and
more pay, and are on strike. Their demand. if
granted would restore the state of affairs which
existed some time ago, and a speedy settlement
Is probable. The eighty-fve wrappers in the
employ of Liggett g. Meyers. tobacco manufact
urers. who struck on Saturday for piece-work in
stead of pay by the dav, returned to their places
to-day, their demand having been granted.
Twenty FIVE stemmers, working for the same
firm, struck, their demand similar to that of the
wrappers, not having been acceded to. A com
mittee of the brewers union to-day called upon
the various brewers of the city and demanded
the adoption of the e;ght-hour system The
brewers requested that no decisive action be
taken by she members of thsunion until after
the meeting of the Brewers Association, which
will be held on Wednesday next when they
promise to consider the demand and formulate
their reply as soon afterwards as possible The
brewers of this city are all we'll satisfied with
their wages, receiving SIS more per month than
these In Milwaukee. and an amicable agreement
will probably be arrived at between them and
their employers. The strike of men employed
on the water-works in East st. Louis has been
settled. Their demand was for ST.. 70 for ten
hours work. or an increase of % cents per day.
A compromise was effected by an offer Of 81. 65
for ten hours work, this being accepted by the
strikers.
