Obituary .

BRO . STEPHEN JOHN DALTON . THE death of this worthy member of tho Craft took place last week , at his residence , the Mount , York . For some years Bro . Dalton had suffered from a bronchial affection . A few weeks ago he got a chill which aggravated tho complaint , and later on pleurisy set in . The deceased carried on an extensive business in the manufacture of

mineral waters , in Skeldergate . In public life he took no active part until 1887 , in which year ho was elected Councillor for Micklegate Ward , for which he sat until November of last year , when his state of health decided him not to risk the exertion of a contested election . His

death will be the cause of deep sorrow to the Freemasons of Yorkshire generally , and more particularly to the brethren of the Eboracum Lodge , 1611 , of which he was a Past Master , having presided over the Lodge in 1888-89 . Bro . Dalton had the welfare of his Mother Lodge , the

Eboracnm , closely at heart , and displayed conspicuous interest in matters affecting tho Craft generally , particularly the Masonic Charities . Besides being a Master Mason , he was one of the members of the Eboracum Royal Arch

Chapter . He was a member of the Royal Yorkshire Yachting Club , whose regattas at Hull he seldom missed , and his two pretty steam launches were frequently to be seen on tho river Ouse during the summer months . He leaves a widow and two or three children .
