just as glad as of yore to have them call

TOWN TOPICS.
—Read Barnes & Co.’s price list.
It’s the first one—It’s a boy, and Tom
Sandidge is hoppy. Mother and child
are doing well.
Ilarriss, Chase *& Simmons were for-
warding a3res of freight yesterday to
parties in the interior.
Freight is being received in this city
from Cincinnati via New Orleans. It’s a
long route, but the receivers say the rates
are very reasonable.
There was a lively runaway near the
depot yesterday evening. A pair ot horses
attached to a float made things hum tor a
brief season In that vicinity.
It the man who borrowed this repor-
ter’s white handled, four-bladed pen-knife
will return it, he can claim the everlasting
obligations ot at least one man.
Capt. Louis Maas, and other members
ot the Fort Worth Guards, contemplate
the organization of a home dramatic club,
to play in this city during the winter.
“Two souls with but a single thought,
two hearts that beat as one,” will achieve
the climax of their aspirations by union
matrimonial this day of our Lord. He is
one of the mo st gallant, and she one of
the loveliest in all this land.
Under the admirable management of
Professors Preuitt and Emory, the E. C.
and C. institute is flourishing satisfactori-
ly. There are fifty-five students enrolled,
and their daily attendance, punctuality
and general progress speak volumes for
the professors.
The trial of the “immortal” twelve ju
rors who were fined each fifty dollars at
the last term of the district court, has
been reset for two weeks from yesterday.
Some of the defendants in this case are
getting very sore over the matter, as they
are just to a great deal of trouble in com-
ing into court.
Walter Huffman is utilizing the entire
block where he is located, and is filling
his rooms with every imaginable pattern
of implements and every vehicle that
runs on wheels. He will soon add to his
present stock a full assortment of bug-
gies, carriages, etc.
Ex-Alderman Holmes and his street
force put in some good licks yesterday on
Pecan street, between East Weatherford
and First. An ugly gully in the center
of the street was filled up, and the street
now is rendered not only more useful, but
presents a more sightly appearance.
A countryman went into a saloon yes-
terday, and got his glass of fire-water. In
a few minutes he returned, and in an ex-
cited manner swore by all the gods and
devils that he left his pocket-book on the
counter. After a little persuasion, he
went back to the last dry goods house
where he had made purchases ane got his
purse, containing just $2.75.
One of the most reliable and enterpris-
ing firms in the city is that of
hochstadter & co.,
wholesale dealers in liquors and cigars.
They carry a full stock of goods of the
best brands, do business on business prin-
ciples, and in the fairest manner. They
are accommodating, clever gentlemen
with whom it is a plesure to have business
associations.
Resnlts of the Fire.
Owing to the lateness of the hour, the
Democrat was unable to publish the par-
ticulars. The old U. S. hotel and the
building next to it on the south were com-
pletely consumed. Both houses were the
property ot Mrs. Rosina Stely, who is the
mother of Mrs. Louis Schorn, Sr., and re-
sides wiih her daughter. The hotel was
a'large frame structure, containing some-
thing over thirty rooms and was leased to
a man named Skandera, who kept it as a
tenant and lodging house. Every room
was furnished, and scarcely $50 worth of
the furniture was saved. It also belonged
to Mrs1 Stely. The hotel was insured in
two companies represented by John F.
Swayne for one thousand in each. The
adjoining building was uninsured. It is
estimated that $3200 will cover the entire
loss on houses and furniture. A consider-
able amount of crockery was destroyed,
but we failed to get its valuation.
The fire originated in a room occupied
by a sick man, and although the exact
cause is not known, it is pretty generally
conceded that it was purely accidental.
Hitcbetl for life.
It was about four o’clock in the after-
noon yesterday, when Mr. W. A. Cates
and Miss Mamie Labier entered the court
house. They appeared to be somewhat
excited, and in a great hurry. In obe-
dience to an an inquiry, they were shown
the county clerk’s office, where they made
application for marriage license. The
youthful appearance of the lady, and the
general demeanor of the couple, some-
what aroused suspicion in the mind of our
urbane deputy county clerk, Mr. Alexan-
der, and caused him to believe it was a
runaway match, the female portion of
which was not legally authorized to take
unto herself a husband, and propounded
several questions to the Miss touching
her qualification as a party to the action.
Being satisfied with the answers, the de-
sired papers were issued, and Judge Cum-
mings was brought into the room imme-
diately, and very nei'vously [the judge is a
novice in such business] made them one.
They left, on the train last evening, to go
where deponent saith not.
The Cotton Market
Eastern advices being unfavorable, the
market here opened with less activity
than has characterized it during this sea-
son. As the day advanced, the courage
of buyers seemed to rise, and all brought
in found sale at a reduction of £ on all
grades. Quotations are as follows:

The School at the College.
To the Editor of the Fort Worth Democrat:
By invitation of Col. Alexander, we at-
tended the closing exercises of the month,
and found them very interesting. They
showed a thoroughness on part of the
teachers necessary to make a good school.
If the patrons of this school would at
tend a few recitations of grammar, geo-
graphy, arithmetic, and spelling, they
would be assured their confidence is not
misplaced. The ease and grace the boys
and girls evince in making their speeches
and reading selections is simply wonder-
ful. We have never had more flattering
prospects for a good school. Visitor.
My Theatre.
Wambold and DeBrent will make their
first appearance at My Theatre, Monday
night, October 4th, for a short season.
They are artists of fine reputation, and
will afford our pleasure seekers much in-
teresting amusement during their stay in
the city.
Manager Holland informs us that he
has re-engaged Fort Worth’s favorites,
Misses Whalen and Woods, for two weeks
longer. These ladies have given great
satisfaction during their stay here.
The performance on Tuesday night will
last from 8 to 1 p.m., to afford those
visiting the circus an oppertunity to visit
the theatre the same night after the circus.
Success must be the reward of My
Theatre. 3-2t

The First Hundred.
When the Pacific Improvement Com-
pany opened their offices here in March
last, and it was announced that they had
contracted to complete one hundred
miles ol the Texas and Pacific road by
the first day of October, very few had
confidence in their ability to do so. The
first of October is here, an d one hundred
and three miles have been ironed, and in a
day or two more the iron horse will be at
Eastland City, one hundred and six
miles from Fort Worth. President G. M.
Dodge is a successful railroad builder,
and his success is due in a great measure
to his sagacity in selecting those who are
to execute what he devises. With Maj.
D. M. Washburne as his chief engineer,
Gen. J. M. Brown to receive and forward
supplies and material, W. A. Ross to
audit the accounts, and Charley Frost to
handle the funds, the machinery of this
vast business works without a jolt. The
work is now in full progress, and more
celerity will be used in continuing the
road towards the setting sun.

What It Will Do,
The completion of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe road, will cause univeral re-
joicing among the people everywhere.
Their exuberance of spirit will be nearly
equal to that which the person feels who
trades at the dry goods house of Malone,
Hitt*& Co., and finds that he has secured
better bargains than can be had else-
where. d2t-wlt

Arousing: its Readers.
An alarm of fire at midnight is a start
ling thing, but not half so startling to
many who hear )t as would be the sudden
knowledge of their own dangerous phys-
ical condition. Thousands Of thousands
are hurrying to their graves because fhey
are carelessly indifferent to the insidionc
inroads of disease and the means of cure.
It is the mission of H. H. Warner & Co.,
with their Safe Kidney and liver Cure, to
arouse men to a sense of their danger and
then cure them.—Memphis Appeal.
The Chicago Times says: Warners’s
Safe Kidney and Liver Cpre is highly en-
dorsed by ministers, judges{ physicians,
surgeons, by men of literary anq Sehol^rly
distinction, and by individuals in aifthp
walks of life. 9-20-d&w-2w
