St. Mary's Church Yasterday Its Cere-
monies aud Music n Lingering Memory
St. Mary's church with its floral decora-
tions its sanctuary crowded with priests and
acolytes was the best attended yesterday of
all others. At the midnight mass the number
of communicants at the altar rail was remark-
able. The musical treat proper was reserved
for the 10 o'clock mass. The auditorium was
thronged numbering among this vast flock In-
dividuals from all the denominations. Pro-
fessor Kattenberger presided at the organ
reinforced by the best orchestral and vocal tal-
ent our city affords. From the Kyrle Eleison
to the last" gospel the audience was most de-
votional thrilled with the spiritual memories
of the day and inspired by the music which
the religious world has enshrined in the birth
of the babe of Bethlehem. The music of the
masters the solemnity of the plain old Gre-
gorian chart the startling outburst of the
adeste fidelis beckoning all to the crib where
the child Jesus was born all did their part in a
manner almost dramatical in celebrating the
advent of the Saviour. Hearts were melted
and refreshed here by the strains from the organ
loft. Mrs. Kattenberger sang so feelingly
the Ave Matia of Millard with a violin obli-
gado by Mr. Joseph McAllister Professor
Douglas' cornet solo an adagio religloso
pierced with its clear tones every nook in old
St. Mary's with strains that she had sever
heard before and so keeping joyous pace
with these were the alto solo of Mrs. Lord
the tenor solo of Captain Karber and the bass

JUDGE BOONE'S DEATH.
Is Funeral Tills ARsrnoon-'Wortli quit
ITlllulllad Honor of Ilia lcend.
Judge D. I. Boone expired at 11 o'clock last
evening. This bare announcement is suffi-
cient to bring sadness to all who have known
this talented gentleman and warm friend. He
was perhaps the most brilliant attorney at our
bar. In private life he possessed the virtues of
a well regulated domestic life where his home
was his heaven after Ihe forensic victories ol
his daily professional life. The gloom is
widespread since the news of his demise has
been sorrowfully whispered and in choking
tones. He was still In his prime still in the
promise of his enlarging usefulness dying at
the age of 33 years. Born in Cherokee county
he worked his way like the manly untiring
gentleman he was up to Ihe proud position he
occupied when death cut him off from useful
ambition. His merits were recognised when-
ever he went. A young man thejr elected
him Probate Judge in Columbia South Caro-
lina to serve between the ycats 1874 and
1876. Coming here to San Antanio his bril-
liant intellect and solid scholarship his legal
precision and accuracy stamped him at first
blush as a master mind where as one of the
firm of Tarleton & Iioone he first announced
himself as a law practitioner. He leaves behind
him a wife and three children. This afternoon
his Interment will take place from the Epis-
copal church at 3 o'clock. Being a Mason
himself the Knights Templar marched from
Ihe new Masifclc ball at 2 o'clock to his resi
dence accompanied by the Odd Fellows of
which body he was also a member. Judge
Boone's rtcord is closed. .It will be cherished
by all who came in contact with his pleasing
companionship. And It will prove to be the
best legacy for his family survivors who value
manly bearing chivalrlc Instincts stern honor
prolessional devotion and personal integrity.
Green be the turf above him and long may the
memory of his well spent life linger with his
desolate family to cheer and console.

Christmas or rather Christmas eve was in-
augurated on the "high lonesome" at the
Sunset depot and healths and toasts re-
sponded to the echo of pistol shots and crack-
ling of thick-headed skulls. A convivial
party of colored men drank so many timet wjth
"three times three" that the liquor flowing
upwards (theoretically speaking) instead of
downwards made the fur fly fast and furious.
Aleck Williams overpowered by the one-after-another
glasses tippled down by himself and
comrades refused to proceed to another bar-
room and consequently beiog looked upon
as a traitor to the cause of Bacchus was
treated as such. Aleck attempted to fly but a
regular hall storm of rock falling on his de-
voted head he considered It wiser to stay.
In the meantime the parly becoming still
more hilarious drew their tlx shooters and
sent promiscuous new year's compliments and
Christmas gifts flying about In the shape of
numerous 22 and 45 catlridgcs. Aleck again
became frightened and again took to his lets
but rocks more rocks was the cry and one
especial rock sharply pointed and calculated
to make a man say oh I landing on Aleck's
neck raised all his latent and demonaical
fury and turning around in one moment
prostrated one of his inebriated pursuers on
the ground nlth a ptetly bad gash In his head.
The neit moment the police were on the scene
Aleck and others were attested while Ihe
wounded man was carried home in a danger-
ous state ihe doctor attending him Informing
a I. toil r man that Ihe wound will must prob-
ably prove fatal.
HAMLET.
Mr. k'raderlck Ward as His 21oo.tr Dane
lu Turner llnll Last Night
l.aat night at Turner hall Fredeiick Warde
appealed in the play of Hamlet. There was
scarcely tlanding room. It Is always a
pleasure fi r San Antonio audiences to
welcome Lack a gentleman like Mr. Warde
who has deserved so well of our people by
previous performances. He deserved last
night's reception when people can lea
one side the numberless invitations social
and personal with which Christmas evening
is so prodigally dowered and make Warde's
Hamlet their preference. His personation of
the moody Dane is not faultless His true but
it is even an improvement on the many stars
who have courted fame from Its rendition
While Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett
make it their specialty and approach perfee
tlon in its performance yet in the scene be.
twecn Hamlet and his mother in "Hamlet
thou hast thy fatlrer much offended" there is
an originality and quiet earnestness that gives
the play a supreme vindication with those who
consider that Shakespeare intended the Danish
prince to be regarded as completely and In
curably mad. The grave diggers were more
than comedians. They were natural and at
the same time jocose. The Ophelia
success and must have been the ripe fruit of
much study. We are satisfied with Mr.
Warde's ascent up the cspitolioe heights ol
dramatic fame. The day is not distant when
he will be the bright particular star and in
terpretcr of the legitimate drama on our
national stage. To-night he appears in
Damon and Pythias.
Handy With Ills l-.n.
On Saturday afternoon Messrs. D. & A.
Oppenheimer were presented with a check
for $120 drawn on Kampmann & Lockwood
of this city. The party presenting it called
himself Shoemaker though his name is now
ascertained to be Price. The check was
signed W. S. Sutherland presumably coming
from a resident of that name at Stockdale.
The Messrs. Oppenheimer declined to ad-
vance the 'full amount on the check. They
gave the bearer $6 in cash and about $34 in
an overcoat and some underwear telling Ihe
said Shoemaker that the balance would be
paid at any lime after submitting the check at
bank. This turned out to be a forgery and
Shoemaker or Price has skipped the town.
Immedistely afier satisfying themselves of
the fraud Messrs. Oppenheimer Investigated
their loss and made a search for the overcoat
valued at $27. This was found at a pawn
broker's shop and received .where the slick
forger bad pawned it for a paltry sum. The
result is that they have not been losers to any
great extent though they would like to Inter-
view Shoemaker or Price both in a bunch.
Motion Overruled.
A motion In arrestof judgment inthelgnatz
Webber case when a $150 fine was imposed
was made by Mr. T. Anderson yesterday In
the Recorder's court in which he said the only
opportunity which could be given the defend-
ant to prove himself not guilty was by indicat-
ing in the affidavit the person to whom the
liquor was sold which was not done persons
must know what they are charged with Ihe
better to be prepared to defend themselves
and if It was not thus shown in the affidavit
they were taken by surprise. If It had not
been designated that John Smith bad bought
liquor of Webber 10 months ago they would
have been prepared to prove he had not done
so and that altogether the affidavit was too
general and too vague. The motion was
overruled.
How They Stand.
Messrs. Cohen & Koenigheim have just
filed a statement of their business condition
with the County Clerk. It appears that their
liabilities are somewhat In excess of their
assets the latter amounting to $42752 4$
while their indebtedness foots up $45269 90.
Their largest creditors are In New York City
the principal one of whom is the firm of
HumtbiL Whitehead & Wcismann to whom
they owe $8627. Thirty-three other New
York houses also have claims varying in large
amounts against them. Among their San
Antonb creditors are Joseph Zadich for
91600; V. ScA. Oppenheimer for $306 15
and E. Ruff $91 58. It Is thought they can
not toon resume business.

ll.n.Ut of tha Doubt.
C. II. Lane appeared before the Recorder
this morning on a charge of vagrancy. Mr.
Ragsdale the first witness drew roars of
laughter from the guests at the morning's
matinee by informing Mr Callaghan that he
personally knew the prisoner to be a dead-
beat and the biggeit liar in town. A stern
remonstrance from the Judge led to a little
moderation of language much to the dis-
appointment of the said lookers-on. Contin-
uing he said that Lane was continually run-
ning from barrel house to barrel house; he
never knew him to do any work though he
said he was a painter.
Mr. Paine the next witness opened pro-
ceedings by saying Ragsdale had given the
court the whole thing la a nut shell and it
was true. (Laughter). Lane owes me $29. If
he had ever had any money be (Paine) had
never seen It.
Mr. Turner said he had never seen Line do
a stroke of work inhls life; had treated him to
several drinks.
Mr. Dowdel testified m to he and Lane
being pattneit once; had seen him frequently
in barrel houses.
A witness for the defense said Lane had
worked for him and was a painter.
The Recorder gave the prisoner the benefit
of Ihe doubt and dismissed the case.
At Stein's saloon across the San Pedro

who was gashed in the bead with a beer glass.
