Water.
Thinking that it might be of some
interest to our readers,, to know the
quantity of water consumed daily in
the cityy a reporter interviewed Alt',
Sam Seaton, the water supply man of
the city, who is perhaps better posted
on the subject than any other citizen,
having devoted some considerable time
and study to the matter, as it i&in the
line o* liis business. Me estimates that
one-half of tiie water consumed is fur-
nished by wells and cisterns, and the
remaining half is furnished by the.
water wagons. Estimating by barrels
that the daily consumption will average
1200 barrels, or about J80.000 gallons.-
maklnga yearly consumption in round
figures of ir,520,000 gallons. These fig-
ures alone are convincing proof that
Fort Worth is sadly suffering for the
want of some system of water works.
It is the source of surprise, openly
expressed by strangers, who visit our
city, that with the marvelous growth ot
tiie Fort and its present ten thousand
population, that so little is thought and
done towards aggitating the importance
of furnishing tiie city with water by
some system ot water works.
'There is no better opening for the in- j who is in
vestment of capital, than would be
offered in just such an enterprise. No
city in north Texas expends as
much money for one of natures ele-
ments than is here paid out for water,
and again where is the city in not Lit
Texas, that the Almighty has better
provided with cool, sparkling, running-
water within easy access and at con-
venient distance tor the construction of
works? *
In the last two Of three weeks several
gentlemen of experience in this line,
have overlooked the ground, taken ob-
servations, &c., from which we may
hear before long. It is tdways better
that public works ot this kind should
be run and controlled by local capital,
or by the city. The columns of the
STATE NEWS.
Large numbers ot immigrants are go-
ing to Lampasas and Coryell countie*.
“Since the loth of June there lias not
been nil average of one interment per
month in the Goliad cemetery.
The Gveenbackers of Dallas will as-
sert their identity outside of the Demo-
cratic party, if needs be.
Reports from all sections of the State
continue to represent the wheat crop as
very promising.
Almost universal disgust is excited by
the toadyism of the Dallas Herald in
the Gubernatorial matter.
“Lace Williams, of Mason, has several
silver mines on hand which he is offer-
ing at $fi0.000 apiece.” We guess, we’ll
take a couple.
Denison News: On the road leading
front Gainesville to Slierman there are
sixteen dead mules. These poor beasts
laid mired down in the terrible mud
and starved to death.
A petition is being circulated in lions
ton praying the pardon of one Gcrger,
the penitentiary under a life
sentence for the murder of his wife in
the . Bayou City, nearly twenty-five
years ago. ^__
