On the morning of June he died suddenly while on his way to the Sun of fice His remains were forwarded to San Francisco for burial.
 1t was in this city that he ventured into Journalism and literary work. and it was tere that he earned a most enviabe repu- tation in his profession. In later years he acquired new laurels In the metropolis. The last editorial that he wrote was en- titled "The Naming of the New Ships" which appeared in the Evening Sun on the day of his death In the same issue was published the following obituary, which is high tribute to the old Calltor- mia journalist:

Watkins, long a valued member of the editorial staff of this pa per, died suddenly this morning while on his sixtieth year, and was the only son of the very well known Commodore Watkins of the Pacific Mail Companys China fleet, celebrated among the old-time sailors of was a very erudite and accomplished writer, a student-specialist in many sub jects and was possessed of q vast store of varied and useful information. He was ar active and leading figure ill San Fran CISCO journalism and was one of the prin- clpal contributors to the Overland Month ly during Bret Harte's editorship.

Col. 5. F. J. Trabue, ST., Dead.

On Tuesda last, at the hCme Of his
son, Mr.. E. f. Trabue, in Louisville,
Col. Stephen Fitz James Trabue, sr.,
lay down lies burdens, aged n
years.
Col. Trabue was born in Bourbon
county, but came to this county when
but young man, and continued to
reside here until about three years
ago, when i'll health and the infirmi-
ties of age caused him to break up
s housekeeping and 20 to the home Of
his son in Louisville.
Col. Trabue's life was very
eventful one. He was, although
slight of statue, a man OF wonderful
energy and vim. A man of strong
convictions, he earnestly and fear
lessly advocated his views.
A lawyer by profession, as well as
farmer, he held large and lucra-
tive practice for many years.
He made two or three races for
Congress in this district, and,
although unsuccessful, he made his
opponents feel, each time, that they
had an experience and a race that
they did not care to repeat. His
sarcasm was biting and severe, his
wit keen and clear, and his argu-
ments bristled with facts as he saw
them.
In early manhood he was married
to Miss Alice Berry, handsome
and Recommending woman, with whom
he lived loving and happy life
until her tragic and accidental death
few years ago by being thrown
from her carriage.
After this sad event Col. Trabue
seemed to lose the strength and
purpose which had so long kept him
working with tremendous power.
His energies tagged and his health
failed from that time.
His death had been looked for for
some days. The end was quiet and
peaceful.
He leaves four sons, Messrs. Ed. F.,
s. F. j., jr.. Will. G. aud RObt. b.
Trabue, and one daughter, Miss
Alice, to mourn his death.
He was an enthusiastic Mason,
being one of the charter members of
Commandery, No. A, X.
T., and served number Of years as
It's Eminent Commander.
The funeral services were held in ,
but the burial took place
on Thursday morning, in our ceme- !
terry, the last rites of Knight Tenn 9
plar Masonry being performed by
Frankfort Commandery, immedi-
ltely upon the arrival of the g. & o. ]
