Alderman Hickey—no doubt actuated
by proper motives—was harsh in his re-
marks last evening, regarding Mr.
Smoot, the young gentleman recently
appointed city engineer. When Alder-
man Hickey becomes well acquainted
iHth Mr. Smoot he will never repeat the
i"! night.
The "money changing" swindlers are
in the ci|y again. By offering a large
bill in pay for a small purchase, and dis-
puting the change, they seek to profit
ny confusing the merchant and com-
pelling him to admit error where he has
Hot committed one.
The statement in the merning paper
that Rev. Mr. Sartwell had accepted the
call to this rectorship of St. Andrews
j Was premature. Mr. Sartwell was in
the city yesterday and matters were ar-
ranged to his satisfaction, but he re-
turned to Weatherford without deciding
to acccpt, preferring further time to
consider the change.

thiag in the way blacksmithtng, are re-

• To the card of Messrs. Kneeland, Lit-
tlejohn ft Martin the Daii.y Democrat
desires to call especial attention. As
teal estate agents and agents of a num-
ber of the very best insurance compa-
nies in this eountry and Enrope, these
gentlemen have eetabllshed a high re
fatten tor eourtesy, liberality and I
dealing. It may be said of them t
they occupy a prominent place in the
front rank of underwriters and Und
Agents, and that the character they bear
for integrity and reliability Is ample
guarantee of the correctness of all their
ha slness transactions*
Fatal Aocident.
The evidence of C. H. Lilley, taken
before Justice Fur man and the Jury of
Inquest, sitting this morning on the
corpse of the negro Jim Wilson, killed
in the runaway accident at five minutes
past three o'clock yesterday afternoon
presented tfce disaster in all its horror
most vividly. #
Jim quit his wife in Farker county
and has lived here a'year under the as
sumed name of James K. Polk. He was
born in Kentucky, and had resided for
several years In San Antonio. He spoke
the mixed Aztec tongue fluently, and
was an adept at managing wild horses
His occupation yesterday was hauling
brick and mortar from Capt. Feild's
brickyard to a point on the river where
Messrs. Rouge & Stein are building a
furnace. His proper route did not take
him post the compress on return trips
but Jim was drinking, and preferred
the dangerous way. The team he was
driving was a* "ugly pair," especially
the off horse, and Jim being of the
"dare-devil" sort at all times
and especially reckless while under
the influence of liquor, disregarded
the admonitions of his employe;
and drove past the Union depot, among
the switch engines—oblects of abhorr-
ence on the part of b
Lilley, with Mr. V
was halted near the
the negro approach in.
Union depot. He wa'
lv on the rattling dufli
ing the wagon-bed, and s1
trole the frightened anirn
were starting, and as they
up, Lilley drew his vehicl
them pass. Just as the frightened team
reached the compress the engine
emitted that awful sound of
escaping steam and this filled up the
cup of equine agony. With a sudden
swerve the runaway team "cut" the fly-
ing vehicle close upon the wagon Lilley
managed, brushing it, bruiting the
sides, and away they rushed, the dump
boards leaping about as the wagon
swagged along the street, from side to
side. The poor fellow could not ltnp
from such a 6tand point. He displayed
rare skill in his last mighty effort.
With one foot on the front board and
one on the side, holding firmly the reins,
disregarding the bruises inflicted by
the heavy timbers assailing him as
if the clumsy boards were alive
and had conspired to aid the calamity,
he guided the flying team until, passing
the Clarke House, the skeleton wagon
—all that was left of it—tilted sidewise
and Jim was hurled against the earth.
He was lifted up tenderly and taken
carefully on a spring wagon to Captain
Feilds' house. Dr. Adams examined
him and found him "in articulo mortis."
In an hour he died without speaking.

Few cases are on record of robbery
perpetrated under circumstances as hu-
morous as the facts the Democrat is able
to give to-day. Air. Tom James, an ex-
sheriff of Tarrant county, had been
troubled by dogs for some days, and two
days ago he opened war on the vaga-
bond canines, shooting them with a
small breech-loading rifle. While thus
engaged after sunset, evening before
last, he was accosted by a person who
gives Jim Wilson as his proper name.
Wilson offered to take the gun and make,
a fancy shot at a sneaking cur, dodging
among the lumber piles, in the vicinity
of the Wesleyan college. Mr. James
handed Wilson the rifle and instantly
the mask of friendship was thrown aside
and the cloven foot appeared. With
rifle presented at Mr. James's breast,
Wilson demanded and received Mr.
James's watch ana immediately left the
grounds taking away both the rifle and
the watch. The watch is silver; the
chain looks like gold; it is heavy but not
valuable. It wasthe chain that tempted
Wilson to the exploit. He thought to
obtain a heavy gold chain, and he got a
heavy chain—of iron. Jimmy Maddox
and Charlie Scott arrested Wilson to-
day and put him in jail.
After the adventure Mr. .Tames cir-
culated the report that if he could have
his property returned he would not pros-
ecute. This bait caused Wilson to hand in
the watch at Duke & Ruth's saloon, on
Houston street, yesterday. He saw Air.
James at the saloon and tossed him the
watch and left hastily. To-day, the
two officers named, found Wilson at the
Favorite Saloon, and by exercising
diplomacy, obtained a full confession.
The fellow indicated the place he had
concealed the rifle and it was accord-
ingly found at Turner's undertakers
place, hid among coffins—a very proper
hiding place for an instrument so lately
applied to a purpose bordering on mur-
der and death.
Wilson 1s a citizen of appearance not
prepossessing. Hs has committed an
odd felony and one would conclude him
a crank, but he Is apparently a man of
ordinary sense.
Died.
At 5 o'clock yesterday evening. Mrs.
J. R. Black, of 'diphtheria. The remains
left this morning at 6 o'clock for Cle-
burne, where she will be buried.
• ♦ •
Mr. Jesse Melton, w,hose name is
given as a Mexican veteran in another
placets a citizen of unquestioned integ-
rity and a business man of established
capacity. At present he is a candidate
for City Assersor and Collector, and
without disparaging the merits or the
claims of otners, the Daii.y Democrat
unhesitatingly commends him to the
voters of Fort Worth as In every way
worthy their confidence and support.
He U capable, honest, just and obliging,
and would make the city an efficient
officer. _
Mr. J. W, Swltzer writes that he only
meant in jest, the alleged $20,000 com-
promise offered Mr, Sara Kaiser.
Siaarular Cotnciden
Shortly after the fatal ac&dent, de-
scribed elsewhere, Mr. R. E. Montgom-
ery's horse attached to a buggy, driven
by a Swiss, whose first name is John
and whose surname cannot be spelled in
English type, started oil at top speed.
The buggy was sundered and the driver
thrown violently to the ground. He
was severely shocked. Dr. W. W
Routh attended him and skillfully ad-
ministered to his suffering condition.
The horse, dragging the wreck of
the buggy, overtook the wreck
of the Feild wagon on its way to the
brick yard, approaching it ut right
angles and leaping over It, leaving a
portion of the buggy on the wagon. In
the midst of the excitement attending
the two runaways, two dogs got into a
tierce tight on Alain street and a great
crowd collected. Two men disputing
over the dogs almost came to blows. A
reporter passing was accosted by a citi-
zen with. "Bad day for reporters, aint
it ?"
Another Boom.
The city council at Dallas granted the
Texas Midland railway company the
right to build a great magazine, or
flre-proof warehouse, for the storage of
oil and salt. Since obtaining authority
from the Dallas board, the company
determined to make Fort Worth the
great distributing centre of the classes
of freight named, and by an order passed
at the regular meeting of the Fort Worth
board, last evening, the company has
the privilege of building the big maga-
zine in this city. This will be done very
shortly. To Air. Robert McCart and to
Air. J. J. Afullane the credit is due, of
obtaining tills advantage for the Prairie
City.
Amusement.
The "neck-tie and apron" social given
at the reading room over Max Elser's
old store proved not a success as far as
the above named articles were con
cerned, as only a few ladies appeared
wearing the apron called for, and not a
single neck-tie to match 6aid apron
peeped from beneath the masculine chin.
The gentlemen were probably not to
blame for the failure to fulfill their part
of the programme, as several were heard
to call for the promised tie, but none
came forth.
The music was good, both instru-
mental and vocal, showing culture in a
high degree. Our city can truly boast
of her home talent in that direction,
and when assisted, as it was last night,
by visitors from abroad, it was very line.
AIi8s Shirley is a real musical artist. We
hope she will make Fort AVorth her
home. Her good-looking, jolly face, to-
gether with her ability too, will be a de-
cided acquisition to our society. The
gentleman who sang fhc solo. "Flee as
Bird," would do well to cultivate his
pronunciation somewhat, as his line
bass voice is too good to be injured by
bad taste in that particular. His ren-
dering of the comic solo brought down
the house. lie was "encored," but did
not respond.
Refreshments were provided, but by
some meanB or other failed to connect,
with the exception of one doughnut in
the hands of one hungry young man.
The entertainment wound up with the
indulgence of a few of the move worldly
ones, in a pleasant little waltz, to the
music of piano and violin.
