“The Daughter of tlie Regiment,
night at Evans Hall.
The laughable larce entitled -‘The
Youth who Never Saw a Woman,” will
be played as an afterpiece at the theatre
to-night.
The regular monthly conference meets
at 7 o’clock, p, m. to-day, Feb. 5tli, at
the Fourth Street Methodist Church. All
the members are urged to attend.
It is evidence of a want of good breed-
ing, and a flagrant disrespect to the ladies
present, for men or boys to whistle, stamp
and alloo during the* presentment of a
drama. We regret that the custom pre-
vails here to such an extent that we have
made note of the fact by request.
OIK DAD’S DOINGS.
The Resignation of J. W. Moni-
ca, Chief of the Fire Depart-
ment Read and Accepted.
One Thousand Dollars in Accounts
Allowed.
Strayed or Stolen.
From my residence in Fort Worth, on
the night of the 3d of February, 1879, one
dark brown horse, 151 hands high, seven
or eight years old, branded an inverted A
on left shoulder. Shod all round. Collar
and saddle marked. Had on a lair leath-
er Califonia saddle, made by R. F. Tack-
aberry. A liberal reward will be paid for
Ins delivery to me in Fort Worth, or for
any information that will lead to bis re-
covery. R* I* IV ARE,

A Debating Society.
There has been a commendable and
worthy project taken in hand by some of
the young men of the city. The object in
view is to organize a debating society.
Such an organization would certainly re-
sult beneficially to many ot our young
men here, who are now frequently at a
loss to know how to pass their spare
evenings. Push it along, boys.
At-the regular meeting of the council
last night, Mayor Beckham, and Aider-
men Jackson, Nichols, Holmes, Aston,
Allen and Evans were present.
Minutes ot the last meeting read and
approved.
'l'he finance committee were allowed
further time to report on assessor and col-
lector’s report.
Account of Journal, $12,00, and L. N.
Brunswig, 50 cents, reported correct and
allowed. Recorder’s report referred to
finance committee.
A petition, signed by J, P. Smith, Da-
vid Boaz, J. Marklee and J. C. Terrell,
tor and in behalf of the City Watter Sup-
ply Company of Fort Worth, asking the
council to allow them the privilege ot
laying water mains and pipes throughout
the streets. The company proposed to sup-
ply the city by means ot a reservoir. On
motion of Allen, moved that the matter
be referred to Allen, Nichols and Evans
and that they report next Tuesday
night.
CHIEF MONICA RESIGNS.
The foliowing resignation ot Chief Whit
Monica was read and adopted.
To ihe Honorable Mayor and City Council
Gen lemen:
I hereby tender to your honorable body
iny resignation as chief of your fire de-
partment, and in connection with this my
resignation, 1 am constrained to say, that
the many courtesies extended me by your
honorable body, during my two years of
office, will ever be gratelully remembered
by me. It is but right and just that
say that no man throughout our state has
been honored by being chief of a better
volunteer fire department than our own,
and in asking your honorable body to
cancel my commission, I shall hope that
your department will fall into good and
true hands, and in the future, as in the
past, the record of the fire department of
the city of Fort Worth, may be such as
we shall ever be proud to remember.
Very respectfully,
J. W. Monica.

A Benevolent Ball.
The grand ball to be given in Dallas
next Saturday night, will be attended by
quite a number ot the Fort’s citizens.
The railroad fare has been reduced for the
accommodation of those who go. We
are authorized by the committee to state
that it will be one of the grandest social
events that has occurred in Dallas during
the present season.
A Child’s Sudden Death.
Wesley, little infant sou of our fellow
townsman, O. S. Kennedy, died suddenly
yesterday, after a long and continued ill-
ness. Mr. Kennedy had just returned to
his office, when the sad and unexpected
intelligence of the death of his beloved
hoy was conveyed to him.
“ Divorced.’’
The excellent and deservedly popular
society drama entitled, “Divorced,” was
rendered by the Golden troupe last night
to a well-tilled house, considering the in-
clemency of the weather. The play
throughout enabled each participant to
display the talent of which he or she was
master.
Bella Golden, as “Helen Faraday,” e
raptured the audienee with her whole-
souled earnestness and faultless represen-
tation of the difficult character. Martin
Golden, as “Frank Faraday,” her hus-
band, did excellently, while Harry Rob-
inson, as “Make peace, Thackery Blaize,”
we have never seen equalled. The only
reflection on the entire success of the
piece was the extremely lame personation
by Morgan Gibler of “Loomis Lucky,’
lawyer, which, to say the least, was mis-
erable.
See advertisement for the programme
to-night.

eling on Houston street as progressing

plete the amount contracted for.

tractor Popejoy was instructed to spread

Engineer Terry was ordered to contract
in writing with Mr. Popejoy for 500 more

before, the contract subject to ratification
at next meeting of council. In the mean-
time Popejoy was ordered to ditch Hous-
ton street, between Fourth and Seventh.

gineer Terry was instructed to hire two
laborers to accompany the city team
when no prisoners were in the ’boose.
On motion, special policeman Luckett
was discharged from further service.
On motion, council adjourned until
next Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock.
THE MYSTERIOUS MILKMAN.
Caught in tlie Act—Why the Fluid is
So Thin.
For the first time in the course of our
short career, this reporter has been able
to catch up with and entertain how it is
that the average milk man makes money
out of milk. The proprietor of the Trans
Continental caught Taylor, his milk
man, in the act of adulteration, when Tay-
lor acknowledged that to every twenty
gallons of milk he put in six gallons ot
water.

Are consistent in demanding for this bil-
ious climate—
Brown’s Purely Vegetable Sugar-
Coated Liver Pills. No eastern pill
can take their place tor the cure of torpid
liver, sick headache, loss of appetite, and
all bilious diseases.
Brown’s Cough Balsam and Tar
Troches are the standard remedies for
coughs, colds, lung diseases and sore
throat. Try them.

ranted and acknowledged to be the best

king of remedies for the blood and liver.
Sarsaparilla,Dandelion and Iodide of

JUDICIAL JOTS.
Things in General—Short Term of
County Court—Getting Off on
Plea of Sickness, Etc. Etc.
The regular monthly term of the conn
ty criminal court adjourned sine die last
evening. The docket was a short one,
the total fines assessed amounting to
scarcely $200.
Several keepers of houses of ill fame
evaded trial on pleas of being sick and
unable to attend court. Judge Gum
mings, before adjournment, took occa-
sion to say that hereafter no such plea as
that would excuse parties from trial. The
plea was becoming too general, and he
felt in duty bound to “stop her.” The
cases below were disposed of under the
following jurors: J. M. Peers, John
Mitchel, J. P. Maben, C. A. Daniel, S. J.
Dorsey, J. W. Turner, W. D. Clark, W
M. Andrews, A. J. Wright, W. L. North,
