Proceedings OF the city Council Meet.
Ing Last Nieht.

Ing Last Night.
The city council met i'm regular
session last night, full board being
present with the exception Of alder
man Tibbs.
The minutes were read and APP
proved. I'll
City Secretary +. NJ. Beck asked
the council for leave Of absence for
one month, which was granted.
The report of the city sanitary off,
Ger was submitted, and stated that
the sewers on several streets were
out of order. A motion was made to
refer report to the sanitary committee.
Alderman Stephenson, chairman Of
the sanitary committee, said Oh ac-
count of the low water in the Brazos
river, the sewer drainage was above
the water line and was not carried
off. This created deposit on the
banks Of the river, which was accu-
mulating daily, and would, of course,
be detrimental to the health of the
city.
Alderman Lacy moved that the
W Oolen Mills and other establish
ments that had large amount of
waste matter from their institutions
be instructed to tap the main sewers.
Alderman Herbert moved that the
sanitary oificer's report be referred to
sanitary committee, motion carried.
Alderman Forsgard reported plans
for new fire station. The report
was referred to improvement commit
tee to determine as to cost Of erection
and make necessary arrangements for
building the station.
Alderman Herbert moved that
Capt. ]. f. Elgin, who was present be
allowed to read the report of the
Waco delegation to the deep water
convention at Fort Worth. The mo-
ton prevailed
Capt. Elgin said that the Waco del
egation to the deep water convention,
appointed by the city council which
vi UhO iOllOW Ing gen
tlemen: VIM. Cameron, VIM. Breus-

Worth found one of the largest bodies
of business men that ever assembled
in the state, consisting of rtpresen.
tative men from almost every point in
Texas, together with d large delega.
ton from other states, and all seem.
ed to appreciate the necessity of deeI
water on the Texas coast. Galveston
was ably represented and strongly
set forth her various advantages as 6
commercial point and the extensive
arborage she possessed. Capt. Ell
gin further concluded his report by
making an estimate of the probable
cost of deep water at Galveston and
other points on the cost.
The council then, after consideration
of various petitions and the dispose
of necessary business, adjourned.

DEATH
The News learns with sorrow of the
death of Miss Maud Burleson, at 4
O'Clock this morning, at the old Rich
ard Burleson place in the western
suburbs of the city, where the family
reside. Miss Maud has been i'll with
fever for some time, but on yesterday
the disease took turn for the worse,
and all during esterday and last
night she was gradually sinking,
until st last the end came. Miss Bur.
Lesson was in the eighteenth year Of
her age, and her untimely death has
cast gloom over the entire CIRCLE Of
her acquaintance, for lady Of .
more amiable nature or lovely d.spo-
sition never lived in our midst. But
alas, the cruel reaper, death, cuts
down, without moments warning,
those flowers of humanity that we all
love and cherish most. Miss Maud
was the youngest daughter Of the late
Rev. Richard Burleson, who came to
Waco at ar early day, and in connec-
ton with his bother, DIR. Rufus Bur-
Lesson, founded Waco University.
Miss BurlesOn leaves a mother, one
sister and two hrothers to mourn her
death. The News extends its sincere
coincidence to the sorrowing relatives.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which SO many seem now to be afflicted
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day 1t is as common as any word in
the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past
So IL is with nervous diseases, rs they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
arc caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria. Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures aae marvellous.

A bountiful and tempting supper was served, and the supply of choice viands seemed inexhaustible and sufficient in variety to test the capacity of the most formidable appetites. Captain Bradnack of steamer presided at the table, Engineer Sherdman having the other post of honor. There was also capital surprise in store for Mir. Merwin. After the supper Captain Bradnack, dguratively speaking, struck the gong, calling MT. Merwin to the front, and MT. ". F. Moves stepping for ward presented Mir. M., in behalf of the assembled comrades, with splen- did large willow easy chair and rocker, voieing in his remarks the esteem in which the recipient was held by all. Mir. Merwin was entirely taken by surprise, but rallying responded, thanking the donors most heartily and saying that the gift as token of regard and friendship was in- valuable. There was also fine singing and piano playing by Miss Jennie Thomas, forA merly soprano of one of Norwalk's leading churches, and Miss Jennie Merwin also favor ed the companyin like manner. MT. Merwin was also elected an honorary member of steamer 8. The comrades were also present- ed with an elegantly frosted cake bearing the dates 's1874-1S88.n Mr. Merwin served also in the old volunteer fire department, two years with Franklin and after that two years on steamer 2, leav- ing the steamer to serve his country in the war for the Union, serving in the Twenty seventh O. V. The comrades retired about 10 with their heartiest good wishes for host and hostess, not forgetting the young ladies present who assisted in serving the guests
