A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr. Frank Hamilton Passed Away From Earth Last Evening.
Last afternoon about 1 o'clock it was discovered by the porter of the Austin Club that Mr. Frank Hamilton was seriously ill and in an unconscious condition. Mr. Hamilton had gone to the Club rooms about 12:30, bought a cigar and sent the boy to a drug store for some quinine, bismuth and morphine. It was presumed that he took some of all three medicines, but it is not know definitely, as he was found half an hour later on the sofa in the parlor in an unconscious condition and never rallied. Medical aid was promptly summoned and several physicians worked with him until at 6:15 last evening he breathed his last. His mother, sister, daughters and other relatives and friends were with him during his last hours.
Mr. Hamilton has been in wretched health for many months, and it is known that he has brooded greatly over his physical condition as well as his financial reverses. Whether or not the drugs yesterday were taken in the way of a tonic from a recently acquired habit, or whether a larger dose than was intended will never be known. His sudden sickness caused a decided sensation in the city. Friends flocked to the Club to learn of his condition, and numerous were the inquiries everywhere on the streets all last afternoon as to how he was. His death will prove a shock to this entire community, and universal regret will be heard upon its announcement. The remains were taken about 7 o'clock last night to his home on Guadalupe street to await interment.

MR. FRANK HAMILTON
When a prominent citizen passes away there is regret and sorrow throughout a whole community. Austin has had no more foremost citizen and devoted friend to her growth and welfare than Mr. Frank Hamilton. He has for many years been at the head of every movement for the city's upbuilding, and but for his untiring energy and generosity the dam would have been an impossibility. He was long a mainspring of action; it was he who was expected to take the lead in all matters of public moment looking to general good. He had his faults, as who among us has not, and who shall condemn him for them? Let him without sin cast the first stone. It is with his duty and life as a citizen that we are a public journal, have to concern our selves, and in all that goes to make a citizen loyal to his city, devoted to her interests, jealous of her advancement, generous in her aid and proud of her achievements Frank Hamilton had no equal as Austin's abettor and champion. He has laid down his work, the unequal contest is over, but what he has done for Austin will live on for ages to come. Last evening Austin lost one of her truest and best friends.
