DAILY DEMOCRAT - ADVANCE.
Office of Publication : No. 10 Main street.
Entered at the post-office in Fort Worth as
second-class matter.
FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1882.
CITY CHATTER.
Delayed.
The article from theW. C. T. U. which
appears this morning1, was intended for
publication yesterday morning, but was
crowded out by other matter. We com-
mend its perusal to the patrons of this
paper.
The Road Law.
The Democrat-Advance is pleased to
see that the Age of Progress coincides
with its views on the road law. Its lan-
guage is somewhat intemperate, but its
reasons are good. We believe in the en-
forcement ot the law, while it remains in
force, but that it should be repealed as
soon as possible.
Revival Meeting.
Rev. Mr. Muipby, assisted by Rev.
Horace Bishop, is conducting a very in-
teresting revival meeting at the Fourth
street Methodist church. The attendance
last night was good and several persoi s
presented themselves as seekers ot relig-
ion. It is understood the services will
continue through the week.
Married.
On Thursday, Feb. 16th, at the resi-
dence of the bride’s mother, No. 104 Wheat
street, Atlanta, Georgia, by the Rev.
James E. Evans, D. D.^S. P. Greene Esq.,
of Fort Worth, Texas, and Miss Carrie V.
Green, of Atlanta, Georgia. Captain
Greene will doubtless soon return to this
city, bringing with him one of Georgia’s
fairest daughters, whom we "welcome to
our society.
Wanted to be His Daughter.
The boys in the City Hall had the
laugh on Mayor Brown yesterday morn-
ing. Jennie Thompson, a trail damsel,
was up before the city court a few days
since on a charge of drunkenness. She
plead pitifully, and by promising to leave
town, had her case dismissed. Yester-
day morning she was arraigned again on
the same charge, and when she saw the
Mayor was out of humor with her, grew
eloquent, and hoped his Honor would be
a father to her once more. There’s where
the laugh came in.
Look Out, Engineers.
There is an ordinance on the books of
this city making it an actionable offense
for any person to run, or cause to be run;
a train or engine inside of the city limits
at a rate ot speed greater than six miles
an hour, or to run an engine at all through
the city without ringing the bell. The
police have orders to promply arrest ail
persons violating this ordinance. The
railroad companies reque st that the law
be rigidly enforced in order that accidents
may be avoided. The officers ^express
their determination to promptly execute
the law.
Do Your Duty.
In discussing the road law the Age of
Progress saya: “We will say further that
in the coming election for Mayor and Al-
dermen, the candidates who favor the en-
forcement ot this unjust and unequal law
cannot get onr support.” Why blame
the officers for doing their sworn duty?
Will the man who has taken an oath to
execute the laws as they are, and who
makes no attempt to do so get your sup-
port? Do you believe the officers of this
city or of this county have power to an-
nul the statutes ot the State? Or would
you have them disregard the laws and
their oaths?
ODDS AND ENDS.
Wheat and oats in the country look bet-
ter than ever before at this season of the
year,
March came in like a meek little lamb,
but weather prophets predict that a goat
named William.
Fifty-four hundred feet ot steel rails
were laid on the Fort Worth and Denver
yesterday. Thus the work goes on.
Persons who joined the Texas Benevo-
lent Association subsequent to the 28th of
November,1881, pay only on claim of Levi
G. Champlin.
The Street Car Company seem in earn-
est about getting their track up out of the
mud. A large force of workmen were
employed and worked to a late hour last
night,
From to-day the county will be relieved
of the expense of feeding eight prisoners,
as that number, who were sentenced at
the last term ot District Court here, will
leave to-r)ay, part of them for Huntsville,
and the rest to Cisco to work on the rail-
road.
Those who joined the Texas Benevolent
Association subsequent to the 28tli ot No-
vember, 1881, pay only on Levi G. Champ-
lin’s death. As our membership in Fort
W orth embraces none prior to the above
date, contributions from Fort Worth mem-
bers go solely to the benificiaries of their
own townsmen.
Shrewd Tactics.
Yesterday evening after Justice Mc-
Clung’s court had adjourned, and while
the lawyers, officers and litigants were
seated in the ’Squire’s office talking about
religion, and such kindred topics as gen-
erally interest such gentlemen, a young
man entered with fifteen ball tickets in
his hand, and twenty-one pounds of
cheek hanging to each side ot his head.
The lawyers and offices would have sur-
rendered at discretion and paid $2 50 each
for a ticket, but His Honor’s generalship
and presence of mind sayed them. He
wrapped his faee in a judicial frown two
inches thick, and hideous in proportion,
and said sternly. “Mr. Sheriff keep order
in court.” The youth with the
tickets and cheek naturally begged the
pardon of Corn-table Isbell, and left, con-
gratulating In'msell on his narrow escape
from being fined for contempt ot court,
’c quire McClung was tendered a vote of
thanks from the assembly in his office,
and all speedily adjourned homeward.
The True Time.
Mr. Louis Wolfgram, the affable man-
ager of G. Burgower’s jewelry store, No.
20 Main street, recognizing the need of a
correct time for the city, has made ar-
rangements by which the standard time
will be telegraphed him from Washington,
and the time given by his fine chronom-
eter clock can hereafter be depended upon
as the true standard for the city. While
regulating their watches, his visitors can-
not help being struck with the richness
and variety ot his fine lines of clocks,
watches, gold and silver ware, diamonds,
etc., etc., importations ot which he is re-
ceiving daily. 3-3-lt.
To the Public.
The firm ot Overton and Trewhitt has
this cay, by mutual consent, dissolved
partnership. W. R. Trewhitt will con-
tinue the business at the old stand, with
whom those who are behind with their
accounts will please call and settle.
Thanking our iriends for their kind and
liberal patronage, we are, Repeetfully,
3-3-lt. Overton & Trewhitt.
A Change.
The butcher, Cunningham, has changed
his shop No. 1, from No. 12 to No. 13
Weatherford street. 6 ■’

The Concert,
The concert by the Queen City Chor-
isters at College Hall last night, was very
creditable in every particular. It was, in
fact, the best amateur performauce ever
given in the city, and was a credit, alike
to the members of the Choristers and the
musical director H. F. Grenadier. We
shall not attempt to mention each rendi-
tion, but may sum it all up in three words
—they did well.
The recitation by Miss Riley was well
rendered for a Miss of her years, but the
subject could not haye been more inappro-
priate for the occasion.
•There was the “same trouble and con-
fusion in regard to reserved seats that is a
feature at all Fort YYorth entertainments.
A reserved seat simply means that you
can get it if you get there first.
There were one hundred and eighty
tickets taken at the door, which will leaye
quite a handsome sum for the laudable
purpose for which the concert was^given.
It is suggested that the concert" be re-
peated at the court house where there will
be more room and better facilities.
The Irate County Attorney.
Fort Worth, March 3, 1882.
As a prelude to this third epistle, the
partv referredto above is informed that one
YV. Bondies is one too many for him on
anv kind of territory.
The idiotic article, which it is my sad
and painful task to reply to, is such a
voluminous pile of rubbish, such an imbe-
cile effort to cover up misdeeds, that 1
hardly know which end to take hold of
first.
Condemned in such good company—I
have nothing to say. bherifi Maddox—
call a halt here. Why did not Sheriff
Maddox get mad ? Because he had noth-
ing to get mad about; he was innocent;
innocent men rather like to be called to
account; there, is a comfortable feeling
about an innocent man, and when he is
called on to explain bis actions, that rath-
er makes him fancy the party calling on
him for the explanation ; he feels that the
party, without intending it, has been of
service to him.
How is it with the guilty man? Of
course just the opposite. He gets mad,
insulted, not worthy of notice.
lam aboye reproach, no man has the
right to even think I am not perfection,
1 will stop anv effort to question my acts
at all hazards, I will divert attention by
throwing slime at the attacking party, I
will keep him busy defending himself.
The facts. The vexed attorney was of
the impression that the grand jury found a
bill. He knew whether the grand jury
tound a bill or not. That little book of
the grand jury was'in his possession; it
told him whether or not a bill was found.
He is well aware that a bill was found,
and that he failed to write it up.
PENDLETON’S ARGUMENT DRAMATIZED.
Scene court house. Enter officer.
Officer—No bill against Caldwell.
Pendleton—As the grand jury found a
bill, and I failed to make it a complete in-
strument of law, you will forthwith set
Mr. Caldwell at liberty.
Officer—But most noble Pendleton,
Caldwell has confessed his guilt to me
aud several others, and says he will plead
guilty when brought to trial. He can be
held for another one of his offenses. He
is one of the worst men in jail.
Pendleton—No man can be convicted of
a felony without an indictment by the
grand jury. I have done all I could. 1
have given the County Attorney YY. Bon-
dies as rnnch assistance in the matter as I
propose to, even having Caldwell held over
about four weeks to give them (grand jury
and YV.B.) a second chance at him. You
seem to forget, Mr. Officer that I am the
prisoner’s paid attorney.
Officer—But how about the confession?
Pendl^fcm—There is no law to hold him;
open the jail doors.
Officer—YVe can get law in fifteen min-
utes, by sending lor Bondies.
Pendleton—I will have no more to say.
Open the jail doors.
Exit officer, muttering, Can he be sane?
Soliloquy by Pendleton—I am the great
unknown, the only man who can stand on
both sides ot a high fence without having
to tip-toe. Bondies can say nothing, as 1
have been kindly furnished with papers
that will settle him.
Curtain falls.
The insulted attorney hopes this matter
is satisfactorily explained, but, without
waiting for a verdict, he puts the next
man on trial.
That I did try to have my money re-
funded is the truth; that I would have
made no effort against Caldwell if the
money had been refunded is also the
truth; the telegram referred to is the truth;
but that I am the County Attorney is not
true. It is true that upon the receipt of a
letter from Caldwell’s mother and lather,
when i thought Caldwell had only taken
what he confessed to, viz: $175,1 did
reply to their appeals that, tor the mother’s
sake, I would do all I could for the young
man. Subsequently I tound Caldwell
had only made a partial confession, and
that he was a systematic robber of the
worst type, that he practiced deception
and fraud in several different ways. This
brought about a change in my feelings.
Of which I advised Caldwell’s father. It
was, and is my opinion that if I had been
cold blooded at first, the money would
haye been refunded by a triend of tbe
family in New Orleans, who wrote inquir-
ing the amount of steal, and represented
himselt as being under obligations to
Caldwell’s family. The last communi-
cation was from Caldwell’s lather, offer-
ing by wire $200, it I would promise no
case. My reply was as published yester-
day. I was satisfied the young man
wold be brought to trial for one offense,
and I will now state that Caldwell would
never have been in jail by my voluntary
act, if I had been secured against loss at
the outset. I am no officer of the law,
my business is to protect and provide tor
myself and family.
Now the question is, to whom did Cald-
well’s father next offer the $200 or $400.
It now appears that the county attorney
can do pretty much as he pleases with
matters of this kind. He was the proper
party to approach. He had the power, it
appears, to say ^no case, set him
at liberty. Has any of the
poor school teachers’ money
touched the itching palms of the insulted
attorney. It not, he served him (poor old
man) well for no pay, and in addition
gave up the pay allowed by law for con-
viction in such cases.
YYhen we take into consideration how
nearly impossible it was to make the
County Attorney chirp, how vexed he
was when it could no longer be avoided,
how he skipped the subject matter in his
reply, how, at the very outset, he made
, free use of abuse, when, it is the opinion
ot myself and many prominent men in
this town, that nothing had been said by
me to give just cause of anger on the part
of any one. flow he placed me on trial,
and submitted ex-parte testimony, forcing
to a long-winded explanation which was
entirely foreign to the subject, how he
made no reply whatever to the most im-
portant question, which was, YYhy did he
not allow me to make another affidavit
against Caldwell before he left town?
I say, when we take all these things
into consideration, the irresistable conclu-
sion is, bribery.
I am now done with this matter; I will
appear in print no more upon this subject.
I nave done what I thought was my duty;
the public can take any further sieps that
are necessary. YY. Bondies.
