CITY CHATTER.
Dangerous.
A portion of the plank covering ol the
cistern on Main street, near the alley, has
given way, leaving a good place for a
horse to run his foot in and break a leg.
They Didn’t Fight.
There was a fair prospect lor a little
pugilistic exercise at Holfman’s saloon
yesterday morning over the settlement ol
a beer bill. Matters were finally adjusted
and all parties took a drink, and no claret
flowed.
Improved.
Max Elser is having some improve-
ments made to the Iront of his store in
the way of show windows, which will be
of plate glass of immense size. Max has
got a streak of go-ahead-a-tive-ness in him
that is bound to win.
Twenty Thousand Square Feet.
That’s the dimension of the floors in
Evans & Martin’s new building, the larg-
est and handsomest building in North
Texas. It will be occupied by the first of
December, and the gentlemen propose to
make Rome howl in the dry goods busi-
A Challenge.
We defy the world and the balance of
mankind, to show more business done by
one house, than was transacted by Joseph
H. Brown, yesterday. The sidewalk on
all sides of his mammoth house was liter-
ally packed and jammed with goods all
day yesterday. Joseph H. is a whizzer,
and no m istake.
Arrested for Robbery.
Yesterday, a man named Dick Rodgers
was arrested on the charge of robbing a
woman in the third ward on Monday
night. His bond was fixed by the sheriff
at $500, which was readily given. Justice
McClung set the hearing of his case for
to day at 2 p. m., when all the facts will
be brought out.
Short Focal.
We are not making any extravagant
pretentions to item-snatching now. Our
city editor is at Galveston snifllng the sea
breezes and eating fish and oysters. In
the meantime us boys are supplying his
place the best we know how. When he
returns, refreshed and rejuvenated, he will
make up for our shortcomings..
That Chroiao.
Our own “intelligent compositor”
claims the chromo, and is entitled to it
We endeavored to “show up” one ot the
typographical inacuracies in the Advance,
which headed an article “Mutiny of the
Stockholders,” and made it appear equal-
ly aa ridiculous a blunder. Our typo
wears the horns, and throws down the
gauntlet to all comers.
Music in the Air.
And its the kind of music that every-
one enjoys. Its the whir of car wheels;
the scream oi the steam whistle ; the
rumbling of floats and drays; the din of
the saw and hammer; the cry for brick and
mortar and the bustle and contusion of a
live stirring city. Its heard on every side
and in all parts of the city. Everybody is
busy, getting rich, and are happy.
Postponed.
Col. Smith and Mr. Britton did not
leave for New York yesterday as was an-
ticipated. Their visit has been deferred
until the latter part of the week, for good
and satisfactory reasons. The gentlemen
will certainly go East at that time, and
will doubtless return with the arrange-
ments completed torthe early inaugura-
tion of active work on the Fort Worth
& Rio Graude.
Commences to-day.
Track laying on the Mtissouri Pacific,
from the present southern terminus will
be resumed to-day, and the orders are to
“whoop it up” until Taylor is reached.
>Ve learn from Maj. Marvin, the Chief
Engineer, tiiat the distance is one hun-
dred and one miles, and that the iron can
and will be laid at the rate of one and a
half miles a day, until the junction ot the
i. & G. N. is made.
Elegant, Stylish, Cheap.
Those pattern hats at
U*3Af. Ba&AB.
The city council met in regular session
last ui^ht with Maj or Brown in the chair.
| §The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
Mayor Brown asked for further time to
render his report, which was granted.
Alderman Shiel stated that the gas bill
had been handed him and he failed to get
it in in time, and ask that it be considered.
He also stated that the committee had cut
down a bill from the gas company be-
cause they considered it too large when
it was on account of leakage from the
pipe in the engine room, for which the
gas company was not responsible, and
asked that the matter be considered.
Ruled out ot order.
The committee on claims reported a
number of bills, which were ordered paid.
The account of Mr. Julian Felhl was
presented, lor $75 dollars, for gravel taken
from his lot by the city, and used on the
streets. Mr. Shiel moved to pay it.
Mr. Rouse objected, and said it should
be referred to the committee on claims.
Mr. Shiel thought it ought to be paid,
but withdrew his motion and it was re-
ferred to the claims committee.
Mr. Pitts, of the committee on fire ap-
paratus, reported that they did not have
all the samples of hose they wished, and
were not ready to report.
Alderman Rouse of the street com-
mittee, reported that nothing had been
done in the First ward, while the Third
waid got more than theii share, and that
not more than $10 worth of work had
been done in a whole generation in the
First ward.
Mr. Shiel said Mr. Rouse had no right
to complain, that he was a member oi the
street committee and had the right to send
hands to his ward, and should maintain
that right.
Mi. Orriek thought something ought to
be done to improve the streets, and the
mayor informed him that he was the man
to have it done.
Mayor Brown thought it a good idea to
let the citizens put down crossings where
the street commission thougtit proper,
and let the city pay them in scrip in one,
two and three years.
Mr. Shiel wanted to see good streets,
and hoped the street commission would
do all in their power to make them, and
he would help to issue bonds to put them
in good condition.
Mayor Brown suggested the idea ot
making the sidewalks on all residence
streets twelve feet wide, and have six feer
for sidewalks next to the property, and
the balance be left for planting trees.
Oa motion of Alderman Shiel, the city
attorney was instructed to draw up an or-
dinance to that effect.
Alderman Shiel made a mot on to ap-
propriate all monies ot the building lurid
over arid above $1,0U0 to improve the
streets and alleys.
Alderman Rouse thought it counting
the chickens before they were hatched,
and they had better wait until they got
the money. They needed school houses,
and he would rather borrow $10,000 to
improve the streets.
Mr. Fitts said he was opposed to appro-
priating money that was not in the treas-
ury . Said Messrs Shiel and Rouse were
talking of borrowing money and our abil-
ity to borruming money, when a lew
months ago they were opposed to bor-
rowing money. That it was not legal
and we couldhiot borrow it.we wanted to.
Mr. Trimble oflered an amendment to
appropriate one-half of the building fund
which was accepted, Messrs Jones and
Rouse opposing it.
Alderman Jones made a motion to in-
struct the City Attorney to draw up an
ordinance to allow citizens to build cross-
ings and let the city pay them in script,
provided they were built by order of the
street committee.
Mr. Sheil called attention to two bad
holes on Main street, near Third, which
he said he hoped would be filled up.
Mr. Orriek, ot the committee on ceme-
tery, said he had seen the surveyor and
asked him why he had not laid it off, and
his reply was that he could not do it on
account of the bushes and weeds.
On motion ot Mr. Pitts, officers Thomas
and Neely were granted two weeks leave
of absence to visit their old homes.
Mayor Brown stated that he was suffer-
ing from headache, aid called Mr. Trim-
ble to the chair, and left the hall.
The ordinance prohibiting the keeping
and raising of pigeons was read. Mr.
Shiel made a motion to lay the ordinance
on the table, which was seconded by Mr.
Rouse and carried.
A communication from two colored
men was read, stating that there was so
much shooting, etc., going on in the third
ward, that they would not attend church,
and asked the Council to appoint them as
special policemen, with tall powers, etc.,
raised a considerable discussion between
Aldermen Pitts and Shiel. the former op-
posing the measure and the latter favor-
ing it.
Mr. Pitts made a motion to lay the pe-
tition on the table, which was seconded.
Mr. Shiel took the floor to argue
the point, when Mr. Pitts arose
to point ol order claiming that a motion
to table was not debatable, which the
mayor pro. tern, overruled, and a long
discussion ensued. Mr. Pitts’motion to
table finally prevailed.
A petition from the Queen City Street
Railway company asking for the right of
way through certain streets and other
privileges, was read and remarks were
made by Mr. Scott and Col. Morten.
Mr. Templeton called the attention of
the council to the rights and privileges of
existing company. Mr. Scott stated that
they would relieve the city of any trouble
they might incur by granting them the
right of way through streets which had
also been granted to the old company.
Mr. Shiel made a motion to defer it until
next meeting, which was amended by Mr.
Pitts and relerred to a committee of three
to report at next meeting. Committee
consisted of Messrs Pitts, Shiel.aud Jones
Mr. Shiel then called up a gas bill which
had been cut down by the committee on
account of being too large, and said it was
the city's tault, there being a leak in the
pipe, and moved to pay them half the
amount cut off.
Mr. Pitts opposed this, because they
had notified the company to come and tlx
the pipe, and they failed to do so.
The motion was lost.
Mr. Shiel stated that there were parties
present who were willing to build water
works for the city on liberal terms, and
by request Mr. J. A. Richardson, of St
Louis, came forward and said that there
were parties in the city that were willing
to build the works and take bonds at par
in payment for them when the city was
ready to purchase. Said he would enter
into $100,000 bqnd to duplicate Dallas
wubtf Works {of $40,0CX>, uaQ guarantee
that in twelve months they wou’d pay
interest on bonds and running expanses.
On motion of Mr. Sniel, he was request-
ed to present plans and estimates at next
meeting.

“That sensation” brought another sin-
ner to the confessional ot the reportorial
shrine, yesterday. The guilty party has
not yet put in an appearance, but he may
as well come to time and “own up,” for
the argus eje ot the scribe is upon him.

Charged With Swindling.
The Oldrojds have heretofore been
noticed in this paper. Some months ago
we published an account ot a serious re-
ligious difficulty between the old man ana
two of his sons. This was settled, and
the boys left. Not long afterwards the
old man and one of his remaining sons
were charged with attempting to swindle
Mr. Billings, their landlord, out of his
rents. This, too, was quieted down. But
yesterday his son Frank was re-arrested
on a charge ol swindling. He had a pre
liminary examination before Justice
McClung, who, after he had heard the
testimony, bound him oyer for appear
ance before the district couit in the sum
of $300. The bond was given.
An Episode.
Another pleasant surprise occurred at
the Improvement offices. Upon the ar-
rival ot Jim Eddy, as he is known to the
gang,” after they had all assembled in
the auditor’s office, the “Jedge” came
forward, and in a few timely remarks pre-
sented Mr. J. W. Eddy with a fine gold
hunting case watch. The monogram “J.
W. E.” was uniquely engraved on the
case in red and blue enamel, and on the
iuside of the case was engraved “Present-
ed to Jun Eddy, Nov. 15th, by the gang.”
We fear that this watch presentation to
the Eddy fimily is establishing a bad
precedent for the employes of the Im
provement Co. After the presentation
tne usual refreshments were set up by
the recipient.
Boots and Shoes.
A long needed want in Fort Worth is
about to be supplied—a wholesale boot
and shoe store. O. P. Yates, otst. Louis,
whom we all know, and admire, will
open here, about the first of January,
with a lull stock of boots aud shoes, for
the jobbing trade exclusively.
