Another Old Citizen Gone,
On last Thursday morning, at
the residence of his son, Mr.
Louis Eicholts io Cedar Hill. Mr.
Henry Eichholts departed this
life, aged 79 years and 14 days.
Deceased came to Texas in 1846,
stopping for a few months in
Houston, then moving to Wash-
ington county where he has since
resided, covering a period of
about 54 years. He was a con-
sistent member of the Baptist
church and has held the position
of deacon in said church for the
past thirty years.
' He leaves two sons and one
daughter, twenty-two grand chil-
dren and six great grand chil-
dren to mourn his loss, his good
wife having preceded him to that
bourne from whence no traveler
returns some two years ago.
In the disposition of his estate
he requested that a stipulated
amount be set aside for mission-
ary purposes.
His funeral will take place at
2 o'clock this afternoon from the
residence of Mr. L. Eichholts.
interment at Cedar Hill cemetery,
All old friends and acquaintances
are invited to attend.

Storm Losses
On Steele's plantation, near
Hempstead, all convict buildings,
tenement houses and shops were
destroyed by last Saturday nights
burrioane. Convicts were re-
leased on parole. AH have re-
turned with four exoeptiena. Two
of these were recaptured and the
others may be dead.
Stone and Buohanan planta-
tions ware swept clear of build-
ings, but every one escaped
though there are a number in-
jured.
On the Anix plantation every
house is gone. Three negroes
were killed by falling timbers
and auother had his back broken.
Other plantations near Hemp-
stead suffered nearly as much
but no loss of life is reported.
Arthur Campbell, indicted by
the grand jury for burglary, was
jailed yesterday afternoon.
Jim Hogian, whose mysterious
death was chronicled in Wednes-
morning's Banner, was a brother
of Jane Hogan, a respectable
colored woman who holds the
position of chief cook at the Cen-
tral Hotel in this city. Jane left
her mother's home, in the Inde-
pendence neighborhood Thurs-
day at noon, and informs the
Banner that the general con-
sensus of opinion in the neigh
borhood is that her brother was
murdered and that the parties
guilty of the crime are well
known in that community.
German Lutheran Church.
Notice is hereby given, that an
important meeting of the Ger-
man Lutheran Congregation of
Brenham, Texas, will be held on
next Sunday, September 10th,
after the morning service at the
Evangelic Lutheran College. All
members of the congregation are
requested to attend said meeting.
G. Lancner,
Pastor.
They Wanted a Chance to Guess.
In a Philadelphia drug; store
this is a conspicuous sign, which
reads: "Do not talk to tho clerk
when he is putting up prescrip-
tions." This has been rendered
necessary bv the loquacity of the for-
eign residents of the neighborhood.!
The other day a crowd surged into
the store, talking nxcitedlv and with
many gestures. The clerk, fearing
that some mistake had been made
in medicines, and that his life was
in danger, escaped by tho rear door
and returned with a policeman.
The Italians were still in possesion,
and appeared to be laboring under
intense excitement. An interpreter
finally discovered that a mischievous
boy had told the foreingers that a
large crystal of sulphur in the
window was a lump of gold-bearing
quartz from Cape Nome, and that
anyone, by paying 10 cents, could
guess ut tho weight of the crystal
and he who guessed right would win
It. It took the greater part of an
hour to convince the excited Italian)
of their error.
II.
He Finished in "t'aited States."
President Seth Low, of Colum-
bia University, is a good Latin
scholar, but he forgot his speech in
that toiguo the other afternoon
while oonferring an honorary degree
on a Harvard professor of Latin
and New Yorkers are laughing
good-naturedly about it. Mr. Low
wjs getting along swimmingly,
when suddenly he stopped and con
fessed that he could sot remember
his Latin. Then he added, with
smilo: "Latin may come from the
head, but English from the heart
so I will confer this honorary de
gree from my heart." There was
warm cheering, and the president
finished in English.

prominent resident of Buenos Ayres
now touring this country, the other
day. "That is all bosh. The .South
American republics look to the
Pnittd States much as a small boy
looks to his big brother. They are
not afraid of your harming them,
