In the cause in equity in the United
States Circuit Court, between Win. G.
Hale and Wm.Littieand others, involving
a portion of about 60,000 acres of land on
the islands of Matagorda, St. Joseph and
Mustang, the clerk has prepared to be
submitted to the court on its convening iu
November a decree approving and con-
firming the sale made by the master in
said cause. ‘ The decree is quite lengthy
and specifically describes each tract of
land and in whom the same is invested by
the decree. It is understood the lands
embraced in this partition cover almost
the entire land thus far located in these
islands, and the decree, it is stated by
attorneys who are familiar with ihe mat-
ter, will settle the title and be the basis
from which to start titles to lands on said
islands.
David Ayres, one of the pioneers of
Texas, was buried this afternoon. The

Baptist Church, to which he contributed
$12,000 for its erection.

nut timber, y-alued at $2,54S.
The cotton market closed quiet and un-
changed, sales aggregating 1,585 bales;
receipts 1,648 bales.
The wind is blowing strongly from the
eastward to-night, and a gale threatening.
WACO.
The Narrow Guage and Missouri Pacific
Will Probably Use the Same
Bridge Over the Brazos.
Etc., Etc , Etc;
Spscihl to D emocrat.
Waco, Oct. 26., 1SS1.
The continued high water in the Brazos,
at this point, precludes the hope of the
Texas and St. Louis railroad completeing
its bridges this winter. It is rumored,
therefore, that arrangements have been
made with the Missouri Pacific, whereby
the Narrow Guage trains will cross the
Missouri Pacific bridge until spring and
thus go ahead with the track laying west-
ward.
The Brazos is higher and no signs of
the water falling.
Funeral notices were distributed
throughout the city this morning inviting
the public to attend the obsequies of the
late Cotton Exchange. The notice con-
tained sundry gcod hits at the defunct or-
ganization. The cotton men will organ-
ize a new exchange soon, and weed out
the crookedness in the buyers and weigh-
ers.
It rained nearly all day, and a steady
drizzle set in to-night.

was overflowing the Wabash rail-
road embankment in the southern
part of the city. A number of
citizens have gone to Warsaw and

water is still very high.

Closing of Yorktown Centennial.
Richmond, Ya., Oct. 26.—The
Yorktown centennial celebration
closed to-day with the graudest
festivities of the season. The de-
monstration consisted of a parade
of all the militia and civic organ-
izations of the city, together with
a remarkable business and trade
display, the whole occupying near-
ly two hours in passing a given
point. Business throughout the
entire city was suspended, and the
streets were thronged with human
beings, the city’s population being
augmented by not less than 20,000
strangers. At the tpnclusion of
the parade, the British flag was
raised on the State capitol build-
ing, and at 2 p. m. saluted by the
Richmond Howitzers. The festiv-
ities will be concluded to-night by
a grand pyrotechnical display on
the capitol grounds,
The Times’ Opinion.
London, Oct. 26.—-The Times in
an editorial discussion of Secre-
tary Blaine’s letter to Minister
Lowell with reference to the Pan-
ama canal and the Monroe doc-
trine, says the V7eighty nature of
the interest of America in the use
of any inter-oceanic canal through
the Isthmus of Panama will be
readily admitted, but Mr. Blaine
passes too far when be would
have the world take it for granted
that no government except his
own and that of Columbia, has
any claims to be consulted in re-
gard to the neutrality of the
work. The proposition is far
from self-evident and is unfortu-
nately not supported in the letter
by arguments which will make it
acceptable to European powers,
and least of all to England.
Gov. Morgan Declines.
New York, Oct. 26.—Ex Gov.
Morgan yesterday positively de-
clined the Treasury portfolio. He
sent a telegram to the President,
after a long conversation on the
subject with the President’s pri-
vate secretary, who, with Thurlow
Weed, attempted to prevail upon
him to accept the secretaryship.

Another damp, bad day,
Look out for another norther soon.
It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.
We want more firemen. Shall we have
them?
Yesterday was not at all suitable for
the duck.
We are to have a grand show after all,
on the fifth of November.
Bad weather for pedestrians but it is
fine for street cars and hacks.
Water works would—but what's the
use of talking to men who are averse to
being convinced.
Enough property went up in smoke
yesterday morning to have built and paid
for the water works.
Ihe festive mosquito still hangs on like
grim death to a sick kitten. Nothing
backward about the mosquito.
Ihe cool, wet weather that we are now
having is bad on the water and ice men,
but the wood haulers are making it pay,
and don’t you forget it.
Ihe season of fires are just approaching
and yet it is demonstrated beyond the pos-
sibility oi a doubt, that we are unable to
extinguish the smallest fire. What arc
we to do?
“Trust in Providence and all will be
well,” is good; but “Providence helps
them who help themselves” is & great
deal be ter.
We know of a wedding in high life
which will occur soon. But then we are
bound to secrecy just yet. Bide your
time, it will happen very soon.
Whenever it rains very much we ieel
partially secure, for, at least while it is
raining the fire-fiend cannot do much
barm. Shall we all pray for a continu-
ance of the rain.
The wants of the people have been
gauged theoretically, systematically and
actually, and still after the fiery ordeal,
the fiat goes forth, “Fort Worth doesn’t
need water-works.”
When the next fire occurs we guess the
book and ladder trucks will not be pulled
out at all, unless some individual hires a
team and has them hauled out. The ooys
have lost all interest in this company.
The display of fresh, green vegetables
which are to be seen at some of our
stands, is rather remarkable for this sea-
son of the year. It leminds us very
much of a recent gathering from a spring
garden.
Had there been plenty of water yester-
day morning, Fort Worth would have
been one hundred thousand dollars batter
off to-day. Water works could have
been constructed for half the amount of
the loss.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
and the scarcity of dry soil yesterday,
we didn’t “slash” around as much as
we are wont; and by-tbe-by what “slash-
ing” we did was not remarkably fruitful
of startling news items.
Fifty or sixty thousand dollars “over-
whelms us with debt.” and yet one little
fire can clean up eighty or a hundred
thousand dollars worth of good property
in an hour, and we are not overwhelmed.
Oh philosophy, where is thy parallel.
i^The man who says Fort Worth needs
fire protection is a veritable ass, and is
ignorant of the first principles of a salu*
tory and wholesome municipal govern-
ment. What we need is more schools.
Give us more schools and the town is
safe.
It is said that the opponents to the wa-
ter works are trying to pick some flaw in
the legality of the blaze that swept away
a whole block yesterday morning. We
can assure them that there is no constitu-
tional objection to the pyrotechnical dis-
play, or to a repetition of the exhibition.
Directions for saving property in a city.
Levy a dog tax, build more school houses,
put down plank sidewalks, open up new
streets, kick when the town Fire Depart-
ment asks for a donation, and then let her
rip. You’ll be abie after a while to get
all the rest. Remember fires will never
harm you.
On the Wax* Path.
Quite a lively scene occurred near the
depot on Main street yesterday, in which
one W. F. Askew put to flight a negro
employe of the Improvement company’s
office, and totally demolished a white man
by the name of J. R. Beard.
Askew was talking to a colored man on
the platform of the Texas and Pacific
passenger depot, when the other negro
made some remark to a negro standing
near, and they both laughed.
Askew thought they were laughing at
him, and commenced abusing the negro,
when he explained the matter, and told
Askew they were talking about some-
thing not concerning him at all.
Askew continued to abuse, and also
struck the negro, who run, but upon
Askew throwing some rocks at him, he
turned and threw back, whereupon As-
kew produced a pistol, when the negro
concluded that flight was the better pan
of valor, and left on a dead run.
Askew was standing in a crowd (ally-
ing about the affair, and threatening to
kill the negro, when Beard came up,
and after a few remarks
struck Askew in the face, kn eking him
back several feet. Askew run Ins hand
in liis poket, and acted as though he was
drawing a knife, when Beard also run,
but before be had gone far Askew over-
took him and dealt him a left-hander in
the eye, which brought Beard to the
ground.
They then grappled, when Officers Mad-
dox and Buchanan came up and separated
the pugilistic couple. While trying to
explain how it was the other man’s fault,
Askew let Beard have another blow on
the end of his proboscis which brought the
blood freely.
They were both placed under bond to
appear before hizzoner this morning.
The affair created considerable excite-
ment, and during the melee some one
telephoned to the city hall that there was
a fight and it was understood to be fire.
The alarm was sounded, and the engine
started for the scene of action, when it
was learned that all the water needed was
enough to was the mud and blood off, and
returned.
