The festivities in MatamoroS
last night were very largely attend
ed, great many going over from
Brownsville. Fortunately the rain
which threatened held up until past
midnight, and did not interfe-e
with the celebration, which was
altogether in the open air. The
principal features of the celebra-
ton were the parade at four p. m,
and public speaking in front of
the municipal palace, followed by
music in the Plaza de Hidalgo by
the band. AT night there were
serenades in both the Plaza de Hi
dalgO and the Plaza de Allende,
with firework displays. The prin
cipal public buildings were Hmm
mated brilliantly. The jamaica at
the latter plaza drew the largest
part of the crowd thither at night,
and music, dancing, gambling at
the variOns games of chance, anus
ed the people until the rain put an
eud to the merry making shortly
after midnight.

The infant was wrapped in a copy
of The Morning Post of the issue of
| Sunday, November %, 1900. The burial
evidently took place since the snow
fall of two weeks ago as buggy tracks
were very plain. While there IA no
finding to that effect. it is surmised
that the child found was of White par

and concluded their hearing, their YER
dict being that the child came to its
