Weather Report.
West Gulf States: Partly cloudy wea-
ther and rain, southeasterly winds, lower
barometer, stationary temperature.
CITY CHATTER.
Raise Alarm.
The fire alarm sounded yesterday even-
ing, it proved to he flood and mud in-
stead of fire, so the fire laddies returned
to quarters without the opportunity of
displaying their valor.
Omitted.
By some means the name of Chas. Eich-
enbaum was omitted from the list of sub
scribers to the Jewish fund. Charles was
a subscriber, however, and his name was
down too. It should have appeared yes-
terday morning.
The Rain.
A drizzling rain commenced yesterday
morning and continued during the entire
day and last night, making it very disa-
greeable under foot. The wind shifted to
the east last night, and from the indica-
tions there will be another “norther on
us soon.
Sign Your Name.
If “A Lady Observer” will sign her
name to the communication sent the Dem-
ocrat yesterday, so that we may be as-
sured of her good faith and correctness in
the matter, we will show up the “bold im
poster” in the most glowing colors. We
cannot publish communications which
have not the real name ot the writer ac-
companying the none de plume.
New Acl.
We take great pleasure in calling the
attention of our readers to the new ad. ot
Dr. N.D. Barradall to be found elsewhere.
The doctor has just established himself in
his new quarters in Tie third ward, where
he is now sitting behind as nice and com-
plete a retail stock of drugs and fancy ar-
ticles as was ever brought to this city.
The doctor knows just exactly howto
dispense these articles, too. See his new
ad. and read it carefully.
The Post Office Desk
Is an assured success. All but three of
the spaces have already been secured by
our live business men, and it is now only
a question of a few days before the work
will be in the hands of the painter. When
completed, it will be an useful and orna-
mental convenience to everyone who
visits the post office. As a standing ad-
vertisement it has few equals. The beauty
of the design, the novelty of the idea, and
the fact that the desk becomes the proper-
ty of the advertisers, should commend it
to our business men. To those who are
hesitating whether to take a space or not,
we would give the advice to do so at once
before it is too late.

We have been shown a specimen copy
of this work by the agent, Mr. Carrico,
and we pronounce it excellent. The bio-
graphical data are strictly and reliably
correct, while the engravings are really
beautilul. It is a work which every fam-
ily" in the country should have. Mr. Car-
rico will order a lot very soon, and if you
would avoid delayTs, see him at once and
subscribe, that you may receive a copy

this great and good man.
Nice.
Here’s the way it read: “To the Edi-
torial Staff of the Democrat, Compli-
ments of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Carr, and
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crawford.” Accom-
panying this dainty little note were two
huge, embossed cakes, beautiful to be-
hold, and ah, so savory to the taste.
Ladies and'gentlemen, accept our heart-
felt thanks, and permit us to wish you all
unbounded success in the “shifting
scenes” of your future career. May you
be “up in all your parts,” never missing
“the cue” which leads to applause, and
when the “prompter” of all, shall “ring
down the curtain” ot life, may you enter
upon a “new engagement”- which shall
be everlasting happiness itself.
Yesterday morning about ten mlnntes
to three o’clock the hurried tapping of
the fire-bell, the promiscuous and con-
tinued discharge of fire-arms and the
blowing of locomotive whistles at the de-
pots, startled the sleeping inhabitants of
our quiet city. The -lurid glare which
lit up the sky in all quarters, plainly indi-
cated to those not yet fully awake or pre-
pared to make a full investigation ot the
matter, that the fire-fiend was at work in
the very midst of our city. Men halt
dressed, and dressing, hurried to the
sGene of the conflagration, and in less time
than we have taken to tell it, Houston,
Third and Fourth streets were completely
blocked up with a perfect mass of human
beings.
Arrived at the corner ot Main and Third
streets a Democrat reporter saw that the
wholesale liquor house of Scheuber &
Hochstadter, the Gem Saloon and Res-
taurant, the drug store of J. S. O. Brooks
and the wholesale liquor house of Casey
& Swasey were enveloped in flames, and
that the fire was being rapidly communi-
cated to other buildings on the block. A
steady south-west wind prevailed and
doubtless saved the building of Henry &
Underwood, on the corner of Fourth and
Houston, while it threatened destruction
to the European restaurant on the corner
of Third and Houston. The St Nicholas
saloon was in close proximity to the
building ot Casey & Swasev, but being
of brick, with a tin roof no fear was en-
tertained of its catching, while it was a
fortunate thjpg indeed that it was thus
interposed between the flames and those
wooden buildings north ot it.
The block from Casey &Swasey’s estab-
lishment on the north to The Old Curios-
ity Shop, on the south, was entirely con-
sumed, while comparatively speaking but
few goods were saved from destruction.
LOSSES.
Of course it was impossible to ascertain
correctly the losses so soon after the acci-
dent, and it will be perhaps several days
before reliable, definite and accurate esti-
mates can be arrived at. We feel perfect-
ly sate, however, in placing the aggregate
loss at $85,000, as follows:
Casey & Swasey, loss $20,000, insurance
$30,000
J. S. O. Brooks, loss $2,100, insured $1,.
500.
Thomas Roche (two building?,) loss
$6,000, insurance $3,000.
Scheuber & Hochstadter, loss $23,000, in-
surance $18,000.
Gem Saloon and Restaurant, loss $4,000
insurance $3,000.
Griffin & Bros.,' loss $3,COO, no insur-
ance.
W. H. Little, loss $150, no insurance.
Florence Bakery, loss $250, no insur-
ance.
Old Curiosity Shop, loss $5,0C0, uo in-
surance.
Wooden building on corner, loss $100,
no insurance.
K. M. YanZandt, loss $100, no insur-
ance.
L. M. Brunswig, $800 damage.
Dr. Fitzhugh, damage in moving $25.
M. O. Grady, damage $500.
Add to this the losses which will yet be
found out and we are sate, we think, in
placing the damages at fully eighty-five
thousand dollars. 1
of two. The blaze showed the location
plainly enough, however.
Yesterday morning a negro was raking
around among the smoking smouldering
debris where Hochstadter’s building
stood, and found a bottle of wine. Just
as the bo tie was brought up fairly in the
cold air, it exploded and the glass wound-
ed the negro on the cheek. He says he
“do wan’ no moah da wine.”
Those engineers who blew their whistles
so long ana loud did not seem to appreci-
ate the gravity of the affair until about
thirty minutes after the fire started. They
blew well, however, when they did start.
SUMMARY,
We have endeavored as best we could
to ascertain the losses and other particu-
lars concerning the fire, but, as above
stated, it is impossible so soon after the
accident to collate reliable data. We think
we have been more than reasonable in our
estimation of tlie losses, and when the
damages done parties whose names do not
appear, but who lost nevertheless, and
when those whose names do appear have
coolly and calmly considered their losses,
we think one hundred thousand dollars
will come nearer the mark than our reas-
onable figures as given above. The want
of fire protection was sadly telt last night,
and we wonder at the action of property
holders who will see their property des-
troyed, and yet set back and say, “We do
not need water works.” Certainly this
state of things cannot continue much
longer. We hope not, at least.

Our Fire Department.
We are the fireman’s friend, we belong
to the department, and we know the Fort
Worth Fire Department is composed of as
good and efficient materirl as ever manip-
ulated a nozel or climbed a ladder, but the
fact is now too woelnlly apparent that our
department is totally a failure. Yester-
day morning’’s blazs illustrated that fact
beyond a cayil. Three or four of the
hook and ladder company were on hand
eager and willing to do all in their power
but their force was not sufficient to raise
the longest ladder from the trucks to the
side of a house without outside assistance
A handiul of able fellows, brave, skillful
and untiring as they always are, were on
hand to work the hose and nozzle of the
engine. They did most excellent service,
to all honor to them. But how long
would it be possible for these braye fel-
lows to hold out in case of a large con-
tinued fire? The face is we have not
enough active members of the department,
and that is why we are a failure, and un-
able to fight i he fiend successfully. Now
why is this? Can any one tell ?
For years some of our best firemen have
belonged to one or the other of our com-
panies and have worked faithfully for the
city, losing their tin\e and clothing and
jeopardizing their lives; all without remu-
neration, and very often without even
thanks. 1 he thing has become monoto-
nous, and these men have tired ot work-
ing longer for glory. Hence their with-
drawal from active service. Connot some-
thing be done to re-infuse life into the fire
department ?
As for the work- done yesterday morn-
ing, no man can say that property was
not saved by the exertions of our firemen.
Let something be done to reanimate
and revive our department, for we need
their services.

Trade opened dull and heavy to-day
and very little was done, and no change
has occurred in any department except
cotton, which is very quiet at $ lower
than yesterday’s quotations.
New Orleans lutures opened several
points lower than at yesterday’s opening,
which was not materially changed during
the day.
Wholesale groceries continue dull and
depressed with a well supplied market at
unchanged quotations, while the sugar
market is still very weak and depressed.
The retail branch was likewise dull,
and very little was’done, at unchanged
prices for any commodity.
The lumber market is still unchanged,
while trade is active, and the indications
are that the present quotations will re-
main unchanged during the winter.
Wool and hiues continue firm and ac-
tive at yesterday’s quotations.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
There seems to be some difficulty in as-
certaining just how the fire originated,
in fact no one seems to know. Five men
were sleeping in the Gem Restaurant, and
they all claim that ihe burning lamps and
ail other fires were extinguished before
they retired. However there is no
doubt that the fire broke out in the Gem
Restaurant.
Mr. Brooks, proprietor of the City
Drug Store, says he was sleeping in the
drug store at the time of the fire, and
that he was awakened by his clerk, who
also sleeps there. The clerk called his
attention to the smell of smoke, and be-
fore they could well dress themselves and
get out to ascertain the exact locality of
the fire, the flames were lapping oyer the
building. Immediately they went to
work and jsaved probably about $500
worth of goods.
Mr. Barr, who kept the Florence
Bakery, says the fire originated in the
Gem Restaurant, and while he knows
nothing positive as to how it originated,
thinks a gasoline heating stove which
they used in there had much to do with
it. He had heard some of the employes
speak of the conduct of this gasoline
stove before, while they expressed some
fear because of its repetition, saying this
was the second time it had flared up, and
they were afraid of.it. Evidently then
the fire had its origin in the Gem Restau-
rant, and in all probability from careless-
ness.
INCIDENTS.
Chief Twombly and Assistants Dick
Wilkes and Houser were everywhere, and
did all in theii power to stay the flames,
but the foremen have lost all enthusiasm
and outside of the good work done for L.
N. Brunswig and Henry & Underwood
by the engine company, little else was
done.
Assistant Foreman Jim Townsend pull-
ed the Hook and Ladder trucks himself
from the engiue room to the corner of
Main and Third streets, where lie and his
good horse gave out and he shouted lusti-
ly lor the other “boys.” About one
other “boys” responded, and the two
dragged the heavy old trucks to a posi-
tion opposite the European Restaurant,
placed the ladders, and let the whole con-
i ern remain just where it was until some
time yesterday when it was removed by
order of Chief Twombly.
Jimmie, Griffin had his arm badly cut
with glass in endeavoring to effect an ex-
trance into their store to remove the
goods.
Every other man met during the blaze
would sarcastically remark: “ vYe don’t
want water; oh no.”
L. N. Brunswig’s drug store was doubt-
less saved by the prompt action of those
men who pulled down the front awning, as
well as my the continued stream of wa-
ter poured upon it by Protection No. 1.
Several parties who were on the scene
of action just alter the alarm was sounded,
say that a good supply of water thrown
upon the burning buildings would have
checked the fire without any trouble.
But we had no wrater. However, we
don’t need waterworks; oil no !
The man who rung the bell evideir ly got
excited as he sounded three taps instead
A Fine Contortionist.
We thought when we saw Wentworth
at “My Theater,” that he certainly ex-
celled any contortionist in the United
States, but we found we were mistaken
when we saw Mr. Gus Garholt last night.
Although he come unannounced and un-
heralded, yet his performance is fully
equal to that of Wentworth in eyery re-
spect. In fact we think he is more rapid
and graceful in his movements than
Wentworth. He introduces several new
performances which are truly wonderful,
and always elicits prolonged applause
from the audience. We don’t know
whether, like Wentworth, he has sold his
body to the surgeons, but we do know
that he can turn and twist it into quite as
many shapes.
