Local Notes.
Cotton rolled in freely this morning.
Business opened extremely brisk this
morning.
Rev. Francis Grant, the evangelist, will
preach at Evans’ Hall to-night.
The “Enterprise” grocery store is be-
coming a favorite institution in our city.
A large number of people, including
many of the strangers in the city, visited
Sulphur Springs ye-terday.
Blackstone, next door to Canto & Stein’s
market, will have fresh fish, direct from
Galveston, to-morrow evening.
The open air meeting of the Young
Men’s Christian Association was well at-
tended yesterday, and was addressed by
Rev. Mr. Grant, the evangelist.
A man, apparently a stranger in the city,
was taken sick quite suddenly on Houston
street about 1 o’clock this afternoon. lie
did not appear to be dangerously ill, but
was suffering considerably.
Mrs. C. D. Brown, the popular milliner,
has moved to the brick building corner of
Main and Second streets, where she will
he pleased to see her lady friends, and in
tact all the ladies ofFort Worth.
County Treasurer Ferguson lias moved
into his new quarters, in the new court-
house, where he lias a secure vault for the
county funds, and can therefore invite his
friends to call and see him with impunity.
Yolney .Robinson built the sidewalk from
his saloon, the Palace, the Waverley House
at his own expense. Volney is an enter-
prising citizen, and we hope the Palace will
continue to receive a large share of public-
patronage.
The El Paso opened yesterday in a blaze
of glory. Fort Worth can certainly boast
of one of the finest and most elegantly
furnished hotels in the state. A large
number of persons dined there yesterday,
by invitation of the proprietors, and fared
sumptuously.
“Scott’slaw office” is an institution in
our city, we don't quite understand.—
Democrat.
Mr. Scott says if the writer of the above
paragraph will take his cabbage head to
the “institution” referred to he will enable
him to understand it.
Before Mayor Day this morning the fol-
lowing cases were disposed of: Thomas
Watson, gaming, fined $10and costs ; John
Lewis, colored, disorderly conduct, $3 and
costs; Scott Bridgewater, assault and
battery, $3 and costs. Two cases were
continued until to-morrow.
A friend informs us that there is com-
plaint among business men on Main street,
near the post-office, that the gangs of
roughs and drinking persons around the
Centennial Theatre is very much interfer-
ing with trade. Ladies have been com-
pelled to go entirely around the square
west of Main street to reach the post-office,
in their efforts to avoid the throng in front
of and around this scandalous place.
EVANS’ MALE LAST NIGHT.
The Evangelist Addressing the Lar-
gest Congregation Ever Assent-
bled in Fort Worth.
Rev. Francis Grant, the evangelist,
preached at Evans’ Hall last night, on the
subject, “Godliness is profitable,” the ser-
mon being addressed especially to the
young men. The hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity, every inch of available
space being occupied, and many persons
came to the door and then went away, not
being able to procure standing room in the
hall. It may be safely stated that the con-
gregation was the largest that ever assem-
bled to hear a minister of the gospel in
Fort Worth. The sermon was intensely
interesting from begiuing to end, and was
listened to with rapt attention by every
one present. In diction it was elegant, and
the manner of delivery was very impress-
ive and effective. The speaker cited many
forcible illustrations, from scenes in real
life in the great cities of England and
America, and the subject-selected for his
discourse was presented in the most thor-
ough and exhaustive n a ,ner.
At the conclusion of the sermon several
persons responded to an invitation to in-
dicate a desire tor prayers, and we learn
that a larger number went forward after
the congregation was dismissed to con-
verse with Mr. Grant and the other minis-
ters present.
'There will be services at the hall again
to-night, conducted by the evangelist, and
all are invited to attend.
A SligTit Mistake.
The morning paper very flippantly stated
yesterday that Mr. Jeff. Pollard, a very
worthy and highly esteemed citizen of our
city, “ administered, by his own hands, a
dose of morphine on last Tuesday,” the
supposition being that he was tired of life,
and “ availed himself of this opportunity
to end his existence.” It is not very plea-
sant, for a gentleman to be written up as a
suicide, especially when he never for an
instant contemplated such a step, and it
certainly shows very little regard tor the
feelings of others and a great pen-
chant for sensational items for a
news gatherer to use a man’s
name in this manner, without tie slightest
foundation in fact for the statement. Ru
mors of this character should he verified
before being published as facts.
It is" hardly necessary to contradict this
statement, however, as Mr. Pollard’s
friends are all aware of the fact that Ids ill-
ness is not the result of an attempt to take
his own life. He has been suffering from
nervbus prostration for some time, and has
been very low the past few days, but we
are pleased to learn that he is now improv-
ing. • •
Personal
Mention.
Mr. Milliean and lady returned Saturday
night from their bridal tour to St. Louis. '
Dr. Fakes returned to the city Saturday
night, with his accomplished lady, who
conies to Fort Worth to reside.
Col. Joe Henderson, our efficient sheriff,
has returned to the city, alter an absence
of several days on business connected with
his office.
Mr. D. C Bennett, one of our most exten-
sive merchants, lias returned from the east,
where he purchased one of the largest
stocks of dry goods ever brought to Fort
Worth.
A DcligliU'iG Affair.
The party given by Alderman Pendery
and his accomplished lady Saturday night,
at their palatial residence on Weatherford
street, was indeed a happy and enjoyable
affair. The«happy co pe gave L,is en-
tertainment to tlieir friends in conmemora-
tion of the second anniversary ot their mar-
riage, and both were indefatigable in at-
tentions to their guests, sparing no effort
to render each and every one happy, and
make the evening pleasant. Their elegant
parlors were thronged with beauty
and chivalry, and' many tripped
the light fantastic toe, while others engag-
ed in various innocent pleasures, until sup-
per was announced.
The occasion will he long remembered
by those who were present, all of whom
no doubt wish Mr. and Mrs.Pendeiy many
returns of the happy occasion.
Tlie Conclio Line.
Iii our last issue we propounded some
questions for the Fort YVorth Democrat to
answer, regarding the service on the above
named route. But it seems that they were
passed unnoticed. This leads us to infer
that the Democrat is waging a one-sided
fight against the contractors on tins line.
While we endorse the Democrat’s state-
ment as to poor stock and coaches, we feel
that this should not be the real cause of
complaint. The trouble mainly springs
from the negligence of the Fsrt Worth
post-ofiice men, in not distributing the mails
properly and in time for the departure
of the stages, and this it seems the Demo-
crat does not desire to say anything about.
Our people care but-little for the prompt
arrival of the stage if it does not contain
the late mails. Why is the Democrat si-
lent on this point! The Comanche Chief
and the Stephensville Empire speak of the
matter, and this is the real cause of com-
plaint. Just bring tlie Fort Worth post-
office men to their duty, and see if the
change is not for the better.—Granbury
Vidette.
Y-Ve think the Yidette is in error regard-
ing the Fort Worth post-office, and see no
reason for complaint against “ poor stock
and coaches.” However, we will call the
attention of our post-master to this matter,
and feel satisfied that if there is really any
ground for complaint against him lie will
speedily remedy the evil. Fort Worth h: s
a thoroughly efficient P. M., and il there is
anything wrong in his office no time will
be lost in correcting it.

Our young friend Emanuel Turk, of the

day night from New York. He says he
purchased enough clothing to supply ev-
erybody.
Mr. Hubbell, father of J. G. Hubbell, of

will feel her loss greatly in the social
circle.
Oil tlie TSampasre.
The spirited horses used by W. Y. Cool e,
In connection with his ice wagon,ran away
this morning, and succeeded in smashing
up the vehicle considerably. They start-
ed from the Merchants’ Exchange, ran
from street to street until they reached the
neighborhood of Capt. Loyd’s residence,
then turned and ran in an easterly direction
until they came in contact with a bank op
Texas soil about five feet high, which
checked their progress. One of the horses
was thrown to the ground, in which po-
sition he remained until released, but sus-
tained no serious injury.
Railroad. Aecsdent.
An accident occurred to engine No. 2
yesterday evening, at the depot, that might
have been more serious but for the pre-
sence of mind of the engineer, and the
bright moonlight. As the train pulled by
engine No. (1 ' was moving out from the
depot. Some one threw the switch off of the
stock tr:\ck, which was filled with empty
cars, and the passenger cars dashed on that
track, causing a collision with tlie empty
stock cars. The result was that engine
No. 2 had her pilot broken, the front end
stove in, and head-light smashed, while the
forward platform of the mail and baggage
car jumped up on the rear end of the
rende.1, smashing it up considerably. After
a delay of two or three hours, another
engine was attached to tlie passenger train
and it moved out. The crippled engine
will be taken to Marshall for repairs.
Sunday Services
Were held as usual at thesevera’ churches
in the morning, and so far as we can
learn, there was a good attendance at each.
At 3 o’clock Rev. Mr. McEwen and son
and Mr. Stockett held a service at the jail,
for which theinmates expressed their grati-
tude, joining warmly in the singing of the
songs, and engaging heartily in all the ex-
ercises, in fact.
At the open air services, corner Taylor
and 2nd streets, there was a good attend-
ance. Atter the usual opening services,
conducted by the President of Y.M. C. A.’.
Mr. Turk, a few remarks were made by
Rev. McEwen, followed by a very able hut
brief address from the evangelist, Rev. Mr.
Grant. Altogether, it was a good meet-
ihg.
