CITY CHATTER.
Mad l)o{s.
A very valuable dog belonging to John
W. Williams, was killed this evening by
constable Isbell.“It was supposed to have
been mad.
Mayor’s Court.
Wm. Thompson, drunk, lined $1; Jim
Yance, disorderly, §1; S. Glenn, disorder-
ly, $1; Jno. Wright, carrying pistol, $25 ;
Pat Burke, drunk, $1.
Robbed.
Mr. James Williams, barkeeper at Hen-
ry Byrne’s Council Room saloon, was
robbed of twelve dollars last Friday morn-
ing at four o’clock. Some parties have
been suspicioned and arrested, but the
evidence will be adduced before the courts,
therefore we refrain from comment.
Vandalism.
Some "individual who was too full of
“Dutch courage,” returning from one of
the Sunday school pic-nics which he had
disgraced by his presence, threw an empty
whiskey bottle into the residence of Sam
Seaton, barely missing one of the children.
Such an act of vandalism is hard to real-
ize in our usually well-behaved commu-
nity.
The Tittle Foliis.
Misses Alma and Fay, the little daugh-
ters of Mrs. John Turner, gave an enter-
tainment to their little friends at the
residence of their aunt, Mrs. Lily Byrne,
yesterday evening. It is described as a
very enjoyable occasion. The little Misses
entertain beautifully. A splendid colla-
tion, consisting of strawberries, ice cream,
cakes, candies and other confections was
spread for tlieir little guests.
A Hood Showing'.
In another column vTe print the official
statement of the City National Bank. It
is a document worthy of perusal, show-
ing the remarkable growth and splendid
business ol the association. It also
speaks well of the city, as we find by it,
that in one of the three banks in the city
there are “individual deposits subject to
check” and demand certificates, of over
a quarter of a million dollars. We are
proud of its success,
bend a Delegate.
The Mississippi Valley Planter’s Asso-
ciation meets at Memphis on the 25th
inst., and it is important that Tarrant
county should be represented, and the
cotton interests of this point made known.
The Democrat suggests that Mr. W.
Bondies, the president of the board of
trade, would be a suitable person to rep-
resent the city and county. He is thor-
oughly conversant with the subject, and
would do the place credit.
OR to llie Fic-Nic.
We saw a certain physician of our ac-
quaintance looking for his better half yes-
terday, and swearing (in a modest manner
of course) he “wished the pic-nic would
either shut up shop or locate near
enough town that walking could be sub-
stiiuted for riding.” The truth of the
matter was the madam had taken a holi-
day, aud along with it the buggy and
horse, and so “physic” had to pedestrian-
ate on his professional rounds.
I.iquor Dealers’ Pic-nic.
Lovers of pleasure will not fail to at-
tend the basket pic-nic to be given by the
Liquor Dealer’s Association on the banks
of the Clear Fork to-day. As stated yester-
day, the management will see that the
best of order is observed, and none but
respectable persons are expected to at-
tend. Gentlemen can take their families
and feel assured that good order will pre-
vail. Omnibuses will leaye from the cor-
ner of Houston and Third streets.
PERSONAL.
Our old friend, Nichols McCoy, called
on the Democrat yesterday morning and
renewed for another year.
Dr. J. F. Shelton left on the west bound
train yesterday evening, to visit his stock
"ancli. He will be absent several wTeeks.
Wm. Coru, of the Clear Fork neighbor-
hood, was in the city yesterday, sporting
a handsome new suit of Spring clothing.
Mrs. C. W. Barradall is expecting a
visit shortly from one of her sisters, a
beautiful and accomplished young lady of
Weatherford.
Dr. R. E. Eakin and family left on yes-
terday morning’s train, on a short visit to
their old home in Paris. The doctor will
return in eight or ten days.
The family of our friend Volney Robin-
son ruturned from Cleburne Friday. We
are pleased to hear his good lady’s health
is very much improved by her visit.
John Miller, formerly of the Democrat
but latterly of the railway postal service, is
now employed in our postoffice to fill the
place of Ed. Hollis during the latter’s ill-
ness.
Aaron Goldstein leaves to-day for
Gainesville. The madam and her boy
will remain however, and we know this
will insure us another visit from Aaron in
the near future.
W. M. Melton, from the White Settle-
ment, was in the city yesterday, looking
particularly gay and lively. We are
pleased to hear of William’s success at
his new profession.
Dr. McMillan, of Caddo Grove, was in
the city yesterday and honored the Dem-
ocrat with a visit. We learn from him
that the citizens of that place will make
an organized effort to secure the location
of the state university at that place.
Mrs. Louis Mass and family have re-
turned from Austin, and will in future
made their home in our city. We regret
to hear of the slight Illness of Mrs. Maas,
who was taken sick while on the way, and
we trust she will soon recover. We wel-
come them back.
Mrs. Dr. Harrington, from Crawfords-
ville, Georgia, the only sister of our es-
teemed fellow-townsman Col. J. B. Grif-
fin, is in the city visiting her relatives.
We welcome the lady to the “young giant”
and trust her stay with us will be a pro-
longed and a pleasant one.
That whole-souled travelling man, and
accomplished pharmaceutist, Harry
Sinnige, of L. N. Brunswig’s mammoth
drug house, is in the city after an extend-
ed western trip. We are always delighted
to meet Harry, and regret it when busi-
ness demands his absence from our midst.
The Democrat is grieved to know of
the death of Mrs. McKenzie, the wife of
an esteemed citizen of Caddo Grove,
Judge J. R. McKenzie. The estimable
lady was buried yesterday. The many
friends of the Judge in this city, will
sympathize with him in his hour of af-
fliction.
MAX ELSER DID IT.
And He is the Music Dealer of the City.
Rather Stroup.
Our morning contemporary with its re-
markable facility and aptitude for blun-
dering, comes out in flaming head lines,
and says there is a “strong probability
that the Fort Worth and Denver will be
built to this city.” Well we should re-
mark. It the fact that the line has been
surveyed, and the contract let, are to be
considered “a strong probability,” then it
exists. The Texas and Colorado con-
struction company will soon be making
the gravel fly along 1 he line, and when
this is done, our neighbor will doubtless
come to the conclusion that the probabili-
ties are strengthening.
A Considerable Smash.
Yesterday morning a horse attached to
a buggy became frightened on Third
street, and went tearing toward the set-
ting sun turning the corner abruptly at
Houston street. Tired of the rough, un-
even ground, ’his horseship took to the
plank sidewalk and went it at break-neck
speed towards Brunswig's drug store.
Here the buggy collided with a show
case outside the store, and the way
pocket-books, tooth brushes and sun-
dries were scattered was painful to wit-
ness. Fortunately the hub of the buggy
struck the-door facing just north of the
large projecting show window, otherwise
that valuable portion of the mammoth
drug house would this morning be num-
bered among the things that were. The
buggy was not so badly smashed up as
we expected, though it sustained consid-
erable damage.
We called around last evening to listen
to the music of that grand organ at John
Hoflman’s saloon.
i jit is a German instrument, manufac-
tured in that and imported to this coun-
try. Our popular music dealer, Mr. Max
Elser, is the agent through whom Mr.
Hoffman purchased the instrument, and
through whom reduced rates on the same
were obtained. Besides the novelty ot
the thing, it is certainly a musical won-
der, producing as it does the finest oper-
atic selections, waltzes from Strauss, ;Pot
Pourris, etc, etc.
Mr. Elser is prepared to furnish any in-
strument or any number of in-
struments which his customers may
desire, at the very shortest notice,
at prices far below those demanded from
retail dealers, and direct individual or-
ders. Bands, orchestras or individuals
desiring musical instruments of any make,
style,‘or description can do no better than
to order through Max Elser. Recollect
he keeps constantly in stock the usual run
of instruments such as pianos, violins,
guitars, banjos, flutes, organs, clarionets,
etc., etc., and those which .he has not on
hand he can order for you at the very
shortest notice, and on the most reasona-
ble terms. Don’t forget‘Max Elser, the
Fort Worth music dealer. It
Cf-mmunicated.
An Error.
Editor Democrat:—In your issue of
yesterday morning’s appears an article
from the facile pen of your correspondent
The l*ic-Xic.
In order “to break him in,” the “boss”
sent one of our young assistants from the
oflice. to the various pic-nic grounds yes-
terday to report them, but considering
our matrimonial incumbrances, and our
love for peace and conjugal felicity, we re-
spectfully refrain from the very best ol
reasons, from publishing his report. For
instance he says: “Here we met the
charming Miss G- who completely
won our susceptible heart by her winning
ways,” and “there we encountered the
fascinating Miss II--, whose radiant
beauty completely enraptured us” and
“the lovely Miss B-ledus into a cool,
shady bower where love’s sweet tale
could be whispered into willing ears,”
etc., etc., and so on.
No, sir. Excuse us if you please. We
haven’t got much hair anyway, but are
not ready just yet to part with it. Every-
body and particularly the ladies were very
kind to our young man and we thank
them tor it, but we’ll be obliged to those
pretty girls if they will make our young
man promise to be more discreet next
time, or at least write them all up in a
group. We may add per 'parenthesis that
all the pic-nics were complete successes.
Almost asi Accident.
Mrs. W. Y, Newlin came very near I
meeting with an accident yesterday, in
handling a fractious horse. We rejoice
to know that she escaped unhurt, but it
was a close call. Its safer to keep away
from the business end of a horse in fly |
time.
GREAT TUMBLE
In cigars at the City Drug store, Houston I
street. Ten and fifteen cents cigars down
to five cents. Nickle cigars at five cents I
a grab. Must make room for the new I
stock coming.
in Mexico, who signs himself “Mosca.
Evidently the gentleman possesses a re-
markable fund of knowledge and an ex-
traordinary descriptive power, but as one
of those “poor, priest-ridden Mexicans,”
I must protest against an error Into which
your correspondent has (alien. I am sat-
isfied he is honest in his expressions
when he says: “You may see a lady
dressed in fine material ot gay and bril-
liant colors, with long train sweeping the
pavements enter church, dip her lingers
in the bowl of holy water, cross herself
and bow her knee in humble and heart-
felt prayer before the images of the Vir-
gin Mary and Jesus Christ or before the
image of their favorite saint, Gaudaloupe.
Following close behind her you may see
an old woman whose head is white with
age, barefooted in an old tattered and
torn calico dress and the proverbial
“rabosa” covering her head; trembling
and tottering along until she reaches the
sanctified bowl of water when she goes
through the same kind of worship as
does her more forward and richly dressed
sisters, and thus the} all, men, women
and children, day after day go through
this silent worship, and as often retire
without whispering a word to any one
save to the images they worship. They
are sincere and the sincerity makes me
respect them.”
Now twenty or twenty-five years ago
even, it would do in free America to speak
of “image-worship” and “praying off
sins” by the wholesale, but in this en-
lightened and progressive age, you could
hardly find a backwoods parson so igno-
rant as to urge against Catholicism in
any.country, the stale and exploded argu-
ment of “image worship.” Roman Cath-
olicism is the same in any country, which
is the beauty of this religion. An Ameri-
can may visit France, Germany, Itaty, or
even Mexico, and not understand a word of
tlie language spoken there, still if he be
a Catholic he can visit his church in those
countries and join in the worship as un-
derstandingly as he does every Sunday in
his own church in free America. Surely,
“Mosca” doesn’t accuse his enlightened
American brethren of the Catholic faith,
of being “image worshipers?” I merely
wish to correct this wrong impression:
Roman Catholics in no country “worship
mages,” but their worship in all coun-
tries is bestowed upon the Holy Living
God, the Blessed Trinity, the Three
Divine Godheads in One, Tne Father,
Jesus Christ His Blessed Son our Re-
deemer, and The Holy Ghost, and none
other do they worship. Being one of the
“priest ridden” I speak knowingly.
Very respectfully,
A Mexican Citizen.
Hurrah for Milwaukee Beer.
By all means the
beer sold at the Ti-
voli Hall is the very.
best to be found inf
the city. Nothing
but Best’s Milwau-
kee Beer kept in
this house. Kuhn/
keeps nothing bull
the best of every-)
thing.
I drink Mil-
waukee Beer.
I don’t,
so I don’t.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Taylor & Barr are having some elegant
plate glass show windows put in their
store. They are simply elegant. Others
should Unit ate their example.
Geo. L. Sands, the assistant superin-
tendent of the Texas & Pacific, is having
the building occupied by the land office
fitted up for bis head quarters. The train
dispatchers will soon be installed here.
—The Oil City Derrick draws
the following picture of a reporter:
Sadly he wanders about through the
streets,
Asking for items of each one he meets.
He’s abused
And amused,
And credit refused,
But smiles all the same whene’er a friend
treats.
New Transfer Lin9
J. E. Johnson is now “running a com-
plete transfer line, and persons wishing to
meet trains or go to any points in the
city will leave orders on slate at the post-
office. Baggage delivered at depot or
other points on short notice.
