Election April 2,1882.
CITY OHATTEB.
Happy.
Policeman W. T. Sands, is one among
the happiest men in this city. It is a
bouncing boy and the mother and child
are doing well. We congratulate Sands,
and hope the son may make as useful a
citizen as the lather.
Fire'
A small house in the southwestern por-
tion of the city, belonging to Mr. (Jowen,
and used as a kindot hardware repository
caught tire yesterday morning and was
consumed before anything could be done
to check the Amies. The loss is esti-
mated at about $800, with no insuiance.
Code Fight.
Quite a crowd collected in the Third
Ward yesterday to witness the.cock fights
over the English Kitchen. A. number ol
chickens were on hand crowing lustily,
but the two-bits entrance lee barred out
the reporter, and so the result ol that
bl- ody battle will be shrouded in mys-
tery.
Jubilant,
W hen Henry Daggett, colored, was ac-
quitted of thefc in the district court yes-
terday, Iris joy was so great that he could
not be restrained, lie made quite a dem-
onstration, and was profuse in thank- ti-
the court and jury. When ordered to K
quiet, he said. “Buss, 1 don’t mean no
disrespect for dis court, but I jis feel so
good ilist 1 couldn’t keep from saving
something. It’s a fact, boss, and I se
much obliged to you all.”
What Was the Matter ?
Mr. M. G. EUis owned, a short time
since, a fine Durham call- While yes
young it refused to suck, and in abou
tnree days it became perfectly wild, troth-
ing at the mouth, running hither ana
thither against everything that came in
its way, aiid fir ally becoming exhausted,
it fell down and died. We have heard of
another case or two of the same kind, and
different parties are apxious for some in-
formation as to the name, cause and cun
ot the disease. W 11 some one who knows
furnish the information?
Fifth Street.
About two weeks ago, Mr. George
Mu 1 key saw the proDerty owners on easi
Filth street, and got them to agree to pur
down side-walks, it the city would agree
to put in crossings. The proposition was
presented to the last meeting of the
Council, and agreed to. In pursuance ol
this contract, the property owners have
put in very good side-walks, and the cffj
has almost completed the crossings. It i-
sneh a vast improvement that the citizens
all over town are crying for more side-
walks and crossings. We presume the
city will endeavor to put in the crossings
as vast as the property owners build the
side-walks—at least it ought to.
A Change.
Our genialdriend, Mr. S. D McMahon,
the clever operator in the employ of th-
Western Union Telegraph service, anti
who has for the last two and a half years
received the Associated Press report a
this office, has resigned his position as
night operator, and now does only dan
w<*rb. We congratulate 34c. on his
change for comfort, but our foreman i-
prepared to indulge in a prodigiou*
‘•kick,'’ for after having edited Mc’s copy
for tee past five years he imagines no on<
can fill hts place We suppose, however,
that Me’* place is tilled by a compe-
tent operator. Mr. McMahon is still
the chief operator at this piace.
Reward of Merit.
In view of the fact that our enterprising
citizen Charlie Gay has for several decades
been discounting an immigration bureau
in the. way of multiplying and replenish
ing the earth generally, ami in populating
Texas in particular, and to encourage him
in this business, the ever liberal John
Karnser yesterday made Charlie apre-ent
of a fine hat, said hat being given partly
as a token of the donor's approval of the
course taken by Gay in this matter and to
commemorate the arrival of Charlie’s
eighteenth child. Mr. Gay is the proud* at
man in town, both on occount of his
bouncing baby girl and his new hat. He
desires us to express his gratitude to Mr.
Ramsey publicly, which we hereby do. .
That Cotton Factory.
What has become of the cotton factory
enterprise, in which it was proposed that
the farmers of Tarrant county should be
the leaders and predominating power? Is
it not time that this matter should be
again called up and assume shape, pro
paratory to the inauguration ot active
operations? Tne present indications are
that this will be a very successful crop
yetr, aud that no time in the future will
be better than now to move in this enter-
prise. Would it not be well to call a
meeting of tne farmers lor purposes of
consultation in reference to this much-
needed cotton factory? We have no doubt,
of its success, if any considerable number
of our farmers can once be really enlisted
in its behalf.
The Reason of It.
We have been asked a number of times
why the mail between this city and Caddo
Grove aud Cleburne had been stopped;
we didn’t know, and so stated. Investi-
gation into the muter developed us the
following facts: First, the government
reserves the right to annul any of its mail
contracts whenever it sees proper. $ec-
und, it saw proper some weeks ago to
annul th*- contract to carry the mails by
stage from he'-e to Cleburne—<md it has
not, until recently, made anoiher con-
tract. We heard yesterday that a con-
tract had been made with the Gulf, Colo-
rado and Santa Fe Railway Company by
wiii hit would begin carrying the mails
un hen- on next Wednesday, the 8 h
' fi

The Ensuing City Electio®.
There is perhaps, no one thing ot more
absolute importance to the future well-be
ing and prosperity of Fort YYforth, and
none which should claim more eurnes1
thought, and deliberate action, on the
part of the people thru the approaching
eh <rter election. A good, wise, intelli-
gent, active city government is every-
thing to a city situated just as we are to-
day. With such, our continual prosperi
,y and growth, will be assured, because
we may with certainty expect in the near
future, the inauguration or a system oi
street improvements, water and gas-
works, commensurate with our warns
and necessities. With a population, ol
twelve thousand, it would stem altogeth-
er proper for us to doff our village habiii
ments and don the investment ot an ad
vanced condition. To do this, we musi
see to it, that our incoming city govern-
ment is composed of men, in all the vari-
ous departments, whose known reputa-
tion for probity, good sense, enterprise
and energy, are selected for the yttrium
elective positions.
We want men, who will not let the city
remain longer in the ruts of uonimprove-
inent, who believe, aud who will act upon
- tie belief that good schools, good streets-
good sidewalks and good waterworks an
not only a necessity, but that they will
pay. It we would increase our papula
ilon, increase our wealth, increase oui
trade and commercial importance, wt
must do something to atrrack popula
non, enhance our values and build up oui
name as a trade centre.
We cannot do this by clinging to. the
old fogy policy of the past.
Without desiring to cast any reflection
upon the present or past administration.-
of our city, we are admonished on at
sides, and from all*quarters, that a change
s necessary. YVe must taken step for-
ward. We must improve. We must g=
to the polls in April and select new met
who know the city’s wants, aud who hav>
be brains and disposition to provide lot
those wants.
Delightful Music.’
Last mght when the local returned
from a tour after “items” and “sieh” like,
no round t e inteligi nt “devil” of this of
lice standing on his head, with the “lun-
uei” ol the telephone to his ear and with
his feet keeping tune to a waltz. When
interogated, he said that the Central ot
lice was serenading us, aud that the music
they were discharging at us was simply
heavenly. Uur “devil” has a big ear for
music and we are willing to take his won;
for it aud bet that the music was ot supe-
rior sample. We hope the entertainment
will be repeated.
City National Bank.
But a short tune ago we noled an in-
crease in the capital stock and surplus of
this well-known and reliable bank; and a
reference to our advertising columns this
morning will show that u lurther increase
has been made, making the capital stock
and surplus now $102 500. Fort Worth
has reason to he proud that it has so ad
tnirably conducted and solid an institution
in its midst. Its directors number among
them some of the shrewdest aud soundest
business men in the community—men ol
whom any city might be proud; and in
their hands we look lor the City National
Bank to take a leading place among the
banking institu'ioiis of the country. A
change in the officers of the bank, gives
■he presidency to Mr. A. M. Britton, the
former vice-president; while Mr. John
Nichols, who has so long and ably filled
the po-irion ol president, succeeds him as
vice-president. Mr. S. W. Lomax con-
tinues in his position as cashier.

It’s a fact that every hotel in town is
crowded to Us utmost capacity for accom-
modation.
Yesterday’s sunshine brought out the
boot-blacks in full force, and “shine ’em
up,” was the cry.
The ladies of St. Andrew’s Parish Aid
Association, have postponed their socia-
ble until next Friday night.
Dr. Field informed the reporter yester-
day that Mr. Baggett’s child, which is
sick of dipihtheriu, is fast recovering, an d
that there was no danger whatever of the
disease becoming epidemic.
The police went through “Silky Car-
ley’s” baggage at the depot yesterday
morning, under the impression that he
was connected with the recent burglaries
here. Nothing was gamed, however, ex-
cept the wrath of the “little wonder.”
Heathen .vs. Hottentot.
Among tne oduities that graced the
Mayor’s Court yesterday morning, up
peared Sing Lee. a washeeman, charged
by a negro named Shaw witli kick-
ing the said »baw out ot the. laundry
ol the aforesaid heathen Chinee. Shaw
testified that for several mouths past Sing
Lee has been a faithful bleccher of his
soiled linen to the extent ot a pair ot
socks and a shirt each week. . That last
Saturday afternoon he called .at the laun-
dry, as has been his custom, but could nm
produce the check for his garments, hav-
ing lost it. Sing Let—so the negro de-
clareu—refused to surrender the garments
unless the check was produced. Shaw
pressed the point when Mr. Suig,
aided by his partner, ejected Shaw
oy force ol arms, to wit:
a pistol, knife and hatchet, easting the
said ohaw into the darkness and mud
without. Afterwards the negro, accom-
panied by a puiicemau, returned aud took
possession of the garments, together with
the duplicate cheeK pinned to the bundle,
ibis specimen of Ctifnese literature was
produced before his houor as part of the
evidence.
The City Attorney gravely examined
the “instrument,” and pronounced it a
.1st oi articles comprising the negro’s
wash, but his honor the Mayor regaideu
it as a map of a battle-field wnertoa taran-
tulas had contended against scorpions
nome one suggested that it was a mmia-
ure sketch of the battle for tne shirt be
tween Sing and Shaw', done in charcoal.
It’s a Fact,
That we have no town clock yet.
That the street cars are doing a “land
office business.”
That the livery stables are necessarily
doing very little business.
That every hotel in town is crowded to
its utmost capacity for accommodations
That this is the first of February, anti
• hat you may expect to receive a dun to
*ay.
That the burglars are r sting lrom their
labors at preseut, and that none of them
mve been caught
That the streets are muddy, and thai
many of tne sidewalks and crossings are
in a irightiul condition.
That farmers will be wofully behiuo
with their work unless we haye better
weather and more of it.
That candidates for eity offices will
soon be as thick as ties in summer, aud as
smiling as ballet dancers, _
That within the memory of the oldes
inhabitant’there has not been a day m
dull in the wav of local news as yester-
day.
The Good Old Timet.
So far as the price ot provisions is con-
cerned, the ho: se keeper who has to pit}
ii;gti prices to the butcher ane poulterei
will uunr.t. on reading the following, thai
here is considerable significance in th*'
phrase “the good oid limes.” Lu an ex
met from the history of England, print-
'd m 1785, is the following passage reia
ive to the price of provisions :
“In the twenty-seventh year of this King
(Edw »rd l.) was made an Act of Common
fouucil that provisions should be at the
■flowing rates: A fat cock Ijjd., a l it
capon 2Jd., two pullets l£d , a goose 4 1,.
* mallard l£d., a crane Is., a partridge
lj i., two woodcocks a ple asant 4u .
tat lamb lor Christmas to Shrovetide Is.
4 1., aud all the year alter w«rd 4 *,, a
eron 6d., a plover Id., a swan 3s.’ ”
Wheat during the same year of the mine
.-• ign, was. io is stated, so plentiful that, a
qnaner sold lor ten groats, lu Henry
y i.’B reign, in an account of a least ot th<
Fraternity ot the Holy Cross, Abingdon,
we learn that calvts were 2s. each, lamb-
is. each, a capon 3d., goose 2d., eggs five
pence per hundred, and wheat at the
same time 12d. per quarter.
Muddy Poetry.

Fort Worth won’t fit in in place of Hous-
:on in the last line:
A stranger from some other clime
Was looking on the sea of slime ;
tie wondered how he’d get across
To yonder side, without the loss
Of life, perhaps; maybe he’d stick,
When nod way, a specimen brick.
Raise his shrill voice in loud complaint,
nd swear, although he be a saint.
What care the council how he howls ?
I'hey’re saving money. At the polls

Jan. 31, 181-2. f
The St. Louis Commercial Gazette,
vhich by tbe way, ;s a very reliable and
conservative paper, in its review of the
markets last week, says :
Contrary to general expectation the
market has remained’ remarkably uni-
m m ior the week closing with to-day and,
on comparison with figures given in our
ast, a very slight difference indeed will
>e perceptible. The realization of the
*'act that tbe crop is well nigh exhausted,
judging from the receip’s, has not yet
produced the boom so long predicted, and
prices to-day are scat cel y better than they
vere a week ago. One of our best in
formed brokers, gives his opinion ol the
■elay ‘as follows: A great many
.-mail * operators have taken a
fly” in cotton futures, confidently
noting for a rise as somi as the re ieipfc"-
■egin to drop iff mateiitlly; they have
oeen mistaken, and are now unloading,
md as a consequence the market is kep-
down and will not advance until thev are
i-retty generally frozen our. This is
nrobably true, and it remains to be seei
mvr long this process will take to b
-fftctual. In this market nearly all th
operators art bulli-h, and they seem conti-
sent that the good time, the advance, wi
.tot be much longer delayed. The re
.-tapis at th s poit.t, as well as others, an
oilug oil steadily, and our faciors at
