CITY CHATTER.
Rook Out for him. «
Our city circulator will be around after
you to-day with his little bill. Treat him
kindly please.
An Opera House.
We are again assured that Fort Worth
will have an opera house ready tor use by
September. Col. Heter Smith says so and
we feel satisfied when Col. Peter makes a
positive assertion.
Water Works Committee
We give considerable space to the re-
port of the water vvorks committee this
morning to the exclusion of other local
matter. We presume, however, our read-
ers deem this as we do; a highly impor-
tant subject, hence we give the report in
full.
District Court.
The jury in the case of Jos. H, Brown
against the Western Union Telegraph
company returned a verdict, after being
out about fifteen minutes, in favor of the
plaintitf for $4.80 actual damages and
$5,000 exemplary damages, for failing to
send a telegram in December last to New
Orleans, La. *
An Overdose.
Out fellow-townsman, Mr. Prescott,
who is accustomed to take an oceasioual
small dose ol morphine to relieve periodic
attacks of a painful ailment to which he is
subject, took by mistake a little too much
of the drug last Thursday night, which
gave rise to considerable alarm in the
family, and divers and sundry foolish re-
ports in the city. Prompt medical atten-
tion relieved him and we are glad to know
he is now all right.
Sold Out.
“Sol” Laney, the mammoth circulator
of the daily Advance, has disposed of the
circulation to Ed.|Want. We hare not been
officially apprised of the amount received,
but we hear it hinted around that “Sol”
realized something nigh unto three hund-
red, dollars for the business. We don’t
think he got a cent too much either, for
the circulation of the Democrat* a paper
which doesn’t claim a “circulation larger
than the balance of the daily press of the
city combined,” could not be purchased
for that amount.
As per adjournment the city council
met last night for the purpose of taking
into consideration the establishment of
water works, the opening of certain streets
and other business of importance unat-
tended to at their last meeting.
Report of committee on water works
was read as follows:
Orange Blossoms.
It reads thus: “Mrs. H. K. Randolph
requests the pleasure ot your presence at
the marriage |of her daughter, Clara M.,
Bellefontaine, Ohio., to Mr. R. N. McCul-
lough, Fort Worth, Texas, Tuesday eve.,
June 14th, 1881, at nine o’clock, at the
Presbyterian church, Calhoun street, Fort
Worth.” That’s a heap nicer and much
more expressive than we could write it,
We merely make the announcement, and
wish you joy now, “Me,” reserving our
prettiest for the wedding day,-or the
morning after the wedding.
No Salvage.
A committee of the fire department and
the adjusters of the insurance companies
who were carrying policies on the cotton
destroyed a day or two since, had a con-
sultation yesterday in regard to salvage.
The companies declined to entertain any
siffo:
proposition to compensate the firemen,
and the result is that the “boys” must go
on fighting fire for'glory, ruining their
clothes, givihg thefr time, risking their
health, jeopardizing their lives to save the
property of the companies, or let the cot-
ton burn. The Democrat does not know
what views the department will take of
the matter, but our advice is to letitburn.
It is certainly to the interest of the com-
panies to encourage the firemen in their
"efforts to save property, but they don’t
seem to view it in that light.
If a lubberly fellow meets you on the
street about noontime and gently reminds
you that “it is hot to-day,” brain him on
the spot! Waft his guileless soul to the
home of his fathers. Kindly permit him
to climb the golden stairs, for he is too
innocent to linger longer in thi3 vale of
tears.
We have seen dull days, we have writ-
ten of dull days, we have heard of dull
days, we have read of dull days, we have
taiked of dull days, we have heard others
talk of dull days, but of all the dull days
for localizing, commend us to yesterday
for the dullest day on record as far as
newspaper items are concerned.
A pretty and sensible young lady re-
marked in the presence of seven barefaced
young men, the other night, “that it just
doubles the value of a kiss to have to bor-
row it from under a moustache.” The
next morning one of our druggists sold
seven bottles of a preparation to encour-
age the growth of moustache in less than
half an hour after opening his store.
Father: “Here you have only been mar-
ried four weeks, and almost every day you
come to me with complaints about your
husband. You ought to be ashamed of
yourself.” Daughter: “But he fights me
all the time.” Father: “Foolish child!
Haven’t your mother and me been fight-
ing every day for 30 years, and don’t we
get along peacefully and quietly with each
other?”
If you want a neat delivery wagon, get
E. H, Keller to make it. He can beat the
world in anything of the kind.
Fort Worth, June 10,1881.
To the Honorable City Council, Fort Worth:
Your committee appointed by your
honorable body to visit other cities and
report to the city council the most ap-
proved system of water works, and the
probable cost of the same beg leave to
submit this their report:
In visiting cities it was our aim to see
only those that, in our j udgment, whose
wants, position and size corresponding
with Fort Worth, taking in consideration
its future prospects.
We first visited Hyde park, Illinois,
whose water works have a capacity of
3.000. 000 gallons daily. These works are
on the direct pressure system with one
Holly }works pump and one Knowles
pump. Their report for last year shows
the water works income was nearly $30,-
000 more than the expense of the same;
but while this showing was made, we
were informed by persons in anthority
that the works were not a success for fire
purposes, and it had been decided by the
authorities to remove the works now in
use and to replace them by other works.
The next place visited was Evanstown.
111., which has the direct pressure or Holly
system, with a capacity of 2,000,000 gal-
lons daily. These works paid last year
about $12u,000 above expenses and were
the best works of that system we visited.
Each of these works cost about $100,000.
We found that from direct pressure that
it frequently takes when the fire pressure
is laid not less than ten minutes to get up
a good fire pressure, and that it was the
experience of those in authority that the
pipes or mains would frequently burst
under such pressure, and in that event
would be worthless for fire purposes until
repaired; and further, that the Holly ma-
chinery was very expensive and intricate.
For these reasons- your coinmittee would
not recommend either the Holly system
or direct pressure, We would further
state that we examined the water works
ofSedalia, Mo., and Peoria, 111., both
having direct pressure and
Holly machinery. The city of Peoria had
contracted at the time we were there to
have Holly machinery removed and re-
placed by other machinery, that there was
a great diversity ot opinion among the
citizens as to the efficiency of the works
at Sedalia. Your committee would fur-
ther report that we examined the works
at South Bend, Indiana and Bloomington,
Illinois. Both of these cities have the
Stand pipe system. We would state that
after an examination of the works of these
two cities and seeing them op-
erated, it is the opinion
ot the committee that this system is the
one best adapted to the city of Fort Worth,
from the fact that the pressure is without
pulsation and is smooth and regular and is
not liable to burst the mains, and governed
entirely by the amount of water in the
“stand-pipe,” and it would not require
more time Jn case of fire than to put on
the hose and turn on the water. In fact it
is always ready, and we recommend
this system for the further
reason that the “stand-pipe” being
of small capacity and continually
changing the water would be much purer
than if allowed to remain in a reservoir
for the length of time, so that the water
would become unhealthy and worthless
for family use, besides we think the stand-
pipe system to be the most economical in
construction and in current expenses. In
Bloomington last year, the water works
paid -aboye current expenses. In
South Bend tne expenses are light for
the reason that the pumps are run
by water, and the city does not charge
but a nominal sum for water
service. As to the reservoir system, it is
the opinion of the committee that the po-
sition of Fort Worth is such that it is not
practicable, as it is necessary to have the
reservoir on some high point, and believ-
ing that there is no such point of suffi-
cient height within reach of Fort Worth
to give the power necessary for fire pur-
poses, that it would be impossible to get
the reservoir of sufficient height, unless
at great expense, to be available for fire
pressure at any great distance
from the reservoir and for the further
reason as belore stated that the
water would be likely to be kept for such
a time in a large reservoir "as to become
stale, unhealthy and unfit for family use.
Forthe above reasons your committee
would recommend that the city construct
water works with the pumps across the
river so as to be beyond the sipe; water
from the city, with the well or reserv oir
twenty-five feet deep, and forty feet in di-
ameter, with artesian wells bored in the
bottom of the reservoir or we 11,or at con-
venient distance lrom the well to be con-
ducted into the same by mains at a small
cost. Your committee would
recommend that the city purchase enough
land for the above purpose, that the same
be made, used and improved as a public
park. Your committee would further re-
port that it is their ;opinion that no pipe
or main should be used less than six inches
in diameter, that the pipe be not less than
fourteen inches in diameter and then les-
sened in proportion from stand pipe to
mains in proportion to the use demanded,
but in no instance should
pipe be used less than
six inches where it is intended they should
be used for fire purposes, that the city lay
pipe in such a manner as to protect all of
the principal streets of the city from fire,
that it is the opinion of the committee
that fiye miles of pipe of all sizes will be
sufficient for that purpose, that a stand-
pipe not less than two hundred feet in
height and five feet in diameter be con-
structed either on the bluff as near the
pumps as possible, or on the highest
point south of the city, as may be-decided
to be best, by a hydraulic >ngiuer. We
would further report that the city employ
a competent hydraulic engineer to survey
and locate the works.
We would further report that it is the
opinion of the committee that such works
as above mentioned of the very best char-
acter could be constructed and completed
at an amount not to exceed $60,000. The
committee desires to state to the city coun-
, oil that the opinionsaud recommendations
set forth in this report have been derived
from visiting the cities heretofore men-
tioned in this report and other cities,to wit:
Milwaukee, Racine, Alton, Oak Park and
New Carwyle and observing- the practical
operations of the water works in those
different cities and from conversing j with
hydraulic engineers of high standing. We
desire to slate further that iD all cities we
visited, we were kindly received and
every opportunity granted us to examine
into the efficiency of the water works by
those in authority and the citizens of the
respective cities. In concluding this report
we desire to state that in no city
that we visited where the city owns the
water works would the city be without
them, and in no eases where owned and
controled by private corporations it is the
expressed desire ot the citizens that the
city should purchase the same.
Expenses of the trip $235 10. Absent
from the city eighteen days.
Very respectfully submiteed,
J. T. Brown, . )
I. W. Rouse, V Com.
W. A. Huffman. J
After the reading- of the report, consid-
erable discussion ensued, but the report
was finally received and filed by a unan-
imous vote of the council.
Here Alderman Jones introduced the
following, which was carried! unani-
mously:
Be it Resolved, By.the city council of the
city of Fort Worth, That the .thanks of
council areHue and hereby.tendered to his
honor John T. Brown, Alderman 1. W.
Rouse and W. A. Huffman for the able
and efficient services rendered the said
city of Fort Worth as a visiting commit-
tee in the interest of water vvorks.
PERSONAL.
Mr. John Nichols is absent on a visit to
relatives in Wise county.
J. W. Draper, and wife and niece, from
Calahan county, are at the El Paso.
Our friend C. II. Felton, is home again,
looking better than ever. He will be fol-
lowed by as fine a stock of goods as were
ever brought to this market.
We are pleased to note the return of
Mrs. F. E. Randolph to our city, and that
she has come to stay. Herself and family
will make valuable acquisitions to our so-
cial circles.
Will Brown has returned from the
west, fully impressed with the belief that
he was never intended for a frontiersman.
You want to hear him descant on the
prairie dog, the future great, land other
western products.
Our good friend and former “side part-
ner” in the.late “onpleasantness,” Nick
D. Barry, of W. F. Lakes mammoth es-
tablishment, leaves to-day on a visit to his
mother, in Maryland. A pleasant trip to
you, Nick, old boy.
S. O. Cotton, of Houston; Frank Wheat
and J. P/Hereford, of Dallas, and C. S.
Welsham, of New Orleans, are in the
city for the purpose ot adjusting the in-
surance on the burned cotton of Levi
Bros, and Liuimerman & Co., of Dallas.
The well-known T. & P. conductor,
Mike Meehan, has packed up his house-
hold effects and shipped them to Fort
Wcrth, where he will in future make his
home with his pleasant family. We re-
gret to lose the jovial and elever Mike Mee-
han.—Courier-Chronicle.
Mr. Meehan is most certainly a welcome
arrival in our tovvn. We trust the gen-
tleman and his family will be pleased with
the “Young Giant.”
Col. J. R. McLain, representing the
Seymour Cresset, called on the Democrat
yesterday. We are pleased to hear of the
flourishing condition of things in Sey-
mour, and particulalry of the improve-
ment and growth of the Cresset. Since we
last had the pleasure ot perusing the Cres-
set, it has grown from a little frontier
postage stamp occasional,to a nice,newsy,
six column weekly, without the sign of a
patent inside or outside about it either.
We wish it success.
Uncle Charley Galloway, from Dallas,
is^in the city and called oiPthe Democrat
yesterday. Uncle Charley is a great lriend
and admirer of Captain Paddock, and
when he entered our office and found
Captain P. absent, we were startled by
his offer of one thousand dollars to see
him right then and there. We just
buckled up our suspenders, and taking a
fresh quid of navy were sailing down
stairs bunt on making that thousand,
when some one hallooed and tu!d us Un-
cle Charley, was blind. Well, Uncle Char-
ley, we are always glad to see you at any
rate.

Toledo. Blade.
Och, Barney McGhee, by my sowl it is
me,
For whom charmin’ Kitty kem out o‘er
the lea;
Wi’ the bloom on her cliake and the blue
in her eye.
And her footstep as fight as .the dew on
the rye.
O begar! how me heart
Gives a thump and sthart,*
When me arms slyly slips round the turn
in her waist,
And me lips liow they quiver,
When Ishtoop down to give her
A kiss, and she Cries out “O Pat, yer a
haste!”
Last night at the dance, share 1 fell in a
trance
When Kitty’s blue eyes into mine shot a
glance;
In the heat iv me bliss I grew pale like a
ghost
And I swore by the holy Saint Patrick I’d
roast.
From her soft breast of snow
Half concealed there below,
Peepin’ roguishly up in me faee.was a
rose,
And me sowl at the sight iv it
Thrill’d me in spite iv it,
Till I shook with delight at it down to me
toes.
“Och, Kitty,” I cried, as I stood by her
side.
“’Tis me darlint, yerself 1 would claim as
mo firirla ^
me bride.
Then me arm loike a serpent encircled her
form
With a thrne Irish clasp, in an eggstacy
warm,
And blusniu’, she said,
As she bent down her head.
‘ Share, Paddy O’Rouke, iv me life yer the
bother;
How ken I refuse,
Now I’m fast in the noose.
With Cupid at one end and ye at the
tother!”
