BOUGHT HIS COFFIN.
An Old Joke Revived by Proceed
lngs in Probate.

Al EIOOd1o'
A case in Probate court last
week brought out a peculiar cir
cumstance, which deserves publ
cation.
In the estate of John Eckford,
deceased, Undertaken Burnett
made application for the removal
of Administrator b. Stephenson
from the estate. His grounds were
that the debts were not paid and
the money therefor used foT other
purposes. The allegations were
based on an account for funeral ex-
penses, $4,000, alleged to be due
from the estate. The case was pass
ed until next term for affidavits OF
the applicant. Mr.. Stephenson, the
administrator, as defendant, tells a
peculiar circumstance in defense
of non-payment of the funeral eX-
penses. Some years ago, long be-
fore Capt. John Eckford died, Col.
Tom Breckenridge, of Austin, and
Capt. Jim Speed, Of Moore Station,
now deceased, together with Capt.
Eckford, met in this city and being
old time friends, spent several
hours together talking over old
times, bantering one another and
playing practical jokes. They all felt
boyish when they came to Sheern
& Burnett's undertaking estab-
lishment and there they stopped
and walked in. Breckenridge SOL
EMMY approached the proprietor
and said he desired to purchase a
coffin and pay all funeral expenses
for a friend. He was shown several
fine collins, and at length selected
a nice one, and, as Mr.. Stephenson
says, struck bargain, that all
funeral expenses, with the coffin,
should be betrayed by him for the
friend he named. The bill was
paid, so Mr.. Stephenson alleges
and says he can prove by adj
missions of the members Of
the firm on several occa-
sions afterward, and then Mr..
Breckenridge turned over the re-
ceipt to Mr.. Eckford, saying :"Here,
John, this is for you. Now you
are fixed" The joke was on Mr..
Eckford and he responded hand
somely, and all had a hilarious
time over it ever afteward when
they met.
In the estate papers the receipt
could not be found, but is thought
by the administrator that sufficient
testimony can be adduced from ad-
missions made verbally by the
firm members, to prove payment.
Mr.. Sheern says the only way the
coffin was ever purchased was like
anybody else would say, 81 want
that, or this coffin, and this robe;
save it for me-" There was no
money ever paid on the outfit and
they all treated it as joke.
The case will be interesting at
the trial, at next term of court.

Silver Wedding.

At the Grand opera house on
Friday evening, October 9TH, Mil
Ter & Comfort, will present their
new musical comedy, "The Silver
Wedding" The New Orleans Dem
ocrat of date Sept. "a, speaks of the
play and players as follows:
Sol Aiken plays the part of
Farmer Barnstable. His work is
smooth and satisfactory, with its
occasional periods of greater merit.
When the necessity arises for
ridiculous work he proves equal to
the occasion. Charles V. Seamon
(who is a very large NAM are
equally good in their farcical char
acters of a country constable, DR..
Peritonitis and Capt. Lollipop, a
terrifier in manner and appearance,
but without either the moral or
the physical courage that he
boasts. Their make-ups are good
and their work up to their parts.
Charles Wiman makes lively
college student, while w. Butter.
fields makeup and facial contor-
tions in his short part probably
carry off the lions share OF the
mems honors. He does some clever
comedy work in his singing,
Miss Julia Aiken is acceptable
as Mrs. Barnstable and Miss
George Laurence, brim full of life
and activity, as Glycerine Brindle,
the farm girl. Misses Mayme
Taylor, Leona Ambrose and Ella
Rock are all pretty and graceful
and the possessors of good voices.
Aside from their singing their per-
sonaI appearances go far to make
the play as successful as it is.
Their dancing and singing are
meritorious. Miss Taylor's voice
is a decided feature and a strong
one.

CAT AND DOG CRUSADE.
Mysterious Prisoner of CANNES
and Felines Worrying the
Widows

WILLOWS.
The inhab itants on North street,
particularly of the female sex, are
worry much excited over the whole
sale poisoning Of the dogs and
cats along this street. The ladies
on this street are, to great extent,
widows or elderly maidens and
say their dogs are their only pro-
lection, and they tell Of myster-
ious unknown man who comes
along regularly every evening nd
after passing each gate, where a
barking dog rushes out at him,
the dog quietly and speedily be.
comes ill and dies.
The ladies think it is precon-
certed plan for a wholesale system
of robbery, the stranger first plan
ming to get all the dogs out
of the way. They are in
a puzzle as to why
their cats should also suffer, but it
is likely he did not consider the
cats in the question. Cats are al
ways hungry and can not tell the
difference, more than a dog, in
poisoned and good meat.
The fellow thus far has got six
dogs and five cat souls to answer
for, but as he is still at work, the
end OF the month will have to be
waited for, when probably he will
bring IN his mortuary report for
the month, for publication.
