CITY CHATTER.
We Regret
To state that Dr. M. S. Matheny, city
physician, was reported almost at, death’s
door late yesterday evening. We hope
the Doctor has revived from his stupor
Hid may jet recover.
Thanks.
The newly married couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Stiffens^ have our thanks ior the
largest and most handsome cake that has
ever visited this otiiee. Our molars will
operate on that same cake without delay.
Deserved Appointment'
Mr. F. A. Lohnes, for the past seven
months local agent ot the Pacific Ex-
press Company, has been appointed route
agent tor the same company on the lines
of the Texas Pacific and Missouri Pacific
Railroads, This appointment is a deserved
recognition of the services of a taithful
and efficient employe, Mr. Lohnes will
be succeeded at this office by Mr. W. M.
Cook.
Matrimonial.
Married—Yesterday evening, at the
residence ot the bride’s lather, by Rev.
Dr. George, Miss Mattie, daughter ot
CapC T. R. Day, of this city, to Mr. C. L.
Steffens, of Brown wood. We congratu-
late the happy couple on thiseonsumation
of their love and wish them a delightful
voyage on the sea of matrimony. May
their pathway be strewn with roses devoid
of the thorns.
Another Change
The sociable by the Ladies of St. An-
dre v’s Parish Aid Association will be
given this evening, commencing at 7:30
o’clock, at the college known as Miss Sue
Huffman’s School House. The ladies
have made ample provisions for the com-
fort and enjoyment of all who rrray at-
tend. From hints dropped the programme
will be rich, rare and racy. Don’t fail to
attend and thereby encourage the ladies,
and spend a pleasant evening,
Died.
Of diptheria, at five o’clock yesterday
evening, little, Fannie, the three year old
daughter of Major and Mrs. J. J. Jarvis.
No words of ours can assuage the grief of
the sorrowing parents.
“Early, bright, transient, chaste as morn-
ing dew,
She sparkled, was exhaled and went to
heaven.”
“Lay her in the earth,
And fiom lb r for and unpolluted flesh
May violets spring.”
Still Another,;
It is said that happiness' was born a
twin, and it seems that the experience of
nearly everyone confirms the adage. Now
there is our friend No. 18 who was made
happy a few days since by the arrival of
No. 18 at his house. Only a day or two
afterwards John Ramsey made him a
presen ot a nice hat in honor ot No. 18,
this made his happiness twins. Yester-
day Billey Whitlow met him on the street
and thinking he did not have enough
parapherna ia, made No. 18 a present ot
another hat, and thus is he made triply
happy.
A Bold Robbery.
Last Sunday evening about dust, three
men rode up to-the house of Mrs. James
Owens, on Dent ou creek, in Denton
county, dismounted and entered the
house without ceremony, and presenting
their Winchester rifles, demanded of
young Owens the keys to hi? trunk. They
were handed to one of the robbers, ami
he opened the trunk, raised the tray and
took the young man’s pocket book, con-
taining $179 in currency, and then
searched the tray, where he found $285
in gold. After securing the booty, they
told the people not to raise any alaim or
they would return and kill them. Two
ot the men were mounted on horses and
one on a mule. They rode off in the
direction ot Denton, and cut the telegraph
wires on the railroad. The young man
thinks he recognized one of the robbers,
and dispatched to the Sheriff of Denton
to arrest him on suspicion.
Our city is again attacked by an organ-
grinder.
The Union depot is rapidly approaching
completion.
The town is painfully peaceful—at least
to reporters an policemen.
If you want to spend a pleasant evening
do not fail to attend the sociable, this
evening, at the College.
His Honor, S. P. Green, presides over
the District Court as^grac&fuily as if he
had been on the bench half a life time.
It it were known how many good and
enjoyable things there will be this evening
at the sociable, we predict the College
would uot hold the crowd.
The rumor that gained some currency
yesterday that there was a strike amo lg
the employes of the T. $ P. railroad here
was without foundation in truth.
Major Darnell, of Abilene, snipped yes-
terday to this city over a hundred head ot
Berkshire stock hogs tor sale. He say's
Taylor county is overstocked with hogs.
Sheriff Maddox received a letter yester-
day trom Clias. S. Morse, Clerk ot the
Supreme Court of this State, compliment-
ing him tor his prompt remittances of
fines, costs, etc.
A movement is on foot among the
lawyers to quarantine against jackasses.
The long eared ass makes so much noise
just back of the court house that the other
fellows can’t be heard.
A New Enterprise.
Messrs. Williams & Vickery, of Wax.
ihaxie, have just purchased of Judge
Moore, of Austin, 320 acres of land just
south of the Union depot here, and pro-
pose to fit up an elegant park ot a hun-
dred acres, in which they intend to plant
at least two thousand forest and orna-
mental trees. They will excavate a lake
covering fifteen acres of ground, stock it
well with German carp, and on its waters
place all the pleasure boats the public
may wish to make use of. They will
grade first-class race tracks lor mile and
shorter races.
They' have eight acres of timber land
which they intend to beautify and allow
to be used for picnics, baibecues, etc.,
free o: charge. They will also have a
gymnasium, croquet and base ball
grounds.—in short to use the language
of one of the originators of the scheme,
any' amusement from a,game of “mumble
peg” up to a mile horse race will be fully
prepared tor aud may be indulged in. A
large skating rink will a1 so be attach*d.
They propose lo keep all kinds of re-
freshment stands, but' pledge themselves
that no liquors shall be sold on their
ground?, aud that no disreputable char-
acter's shall be admitted inside their gates,
file laud was surveyed out yesterday and
they advertise this morning for teams to
go to work at once. They expect to open
their pleasure grounds to the public on
the first ot next May.
The gentlemen have no doubt made a
good investment and will receive a liberal
patronage from the pleasure loving popu-
lation of our city.
Attached.
It Is well known C. H. Felton a short
time since made an assignment of his
stock of clothing, hats, etc., to Robert
McUart, for the benefit of his (Felton’s)
creditors, since which time the good?
have been on sale. Yesterday Mr. M. A.
Chambers, agent for W, G. Browning &
Co., of Now York, made affidavit that Mr.
FiJtou owed that firm the sum o’ $2,235.50,
which is due on the 4th inst., and that they
had reason to believe the deb' would be
lost unless immediate action was taken.
Upon this affidavit attachment was issued,
and the house closed by' the Sheriff.
Browning & Co. gave bond for damages
in the sum of $5 500, giving B. C. Evans
and Thos, P. Randall as sure-ies. We un-
derstand, however, that Mr. McCart has
replevined, gave bond, and that the stoie
will again be opened this morning. Tem-
pleton & Carter are attorneys for the
plaintiff. The case is liable to bo an in*
teresting one.
bince the above was put in type we have
been informed that our informant was
mistaken concerning the matter of the
stock ot goods being replevied, and that
such action "has not been t ikon. We are
also informed that two additional attach-
ments have been made. Une in tavor of
Rainwater, Bongher & Co., of St. Louis,
on a claim of $7-83 35, and another in fa-
vor ot Goitse, Huoicks <fe lo., of the
same city, on a claim of $803 75,
PERSONAL

From Steplionville.
Stephenville, Texas, Jan 31, 1SS2.
Editor Democrat-Adyancb.
Winter is upon us with all its fierce vig-
or—every' street, tree end house-top has a
heavy coating of silver iee, and the frees
look like a forest of silver. Stock is be-
ginning to feel the pangs of cold and hun-
ger, and here and there one is tailing by
the way side.
Some stock is dying from what is called
by' stockmen the "black leg.”
Wheat crops are looking well, but the
continued rains prevent farmers preparing
tor any' of her crops.
Notwithstanding the cold, wet weather
we are having, some bad blood has been
heated and fatal effects vesuJted there-
from.
A tew nights ago in this county, a man
by the name of Flanagan was brutally
murdered in his house in the pre >enee of
his family, by a mob. Flanagan recriv-
ing some forty shots in Ills body'. The
exact cause of this assassination is not
known, but the murderers claimed that
they were hunting and killing horse
thieyes. It is believed that they (the mur-
derers) are bat) men who were run out of
this section of the country some years ago
for horse and cattle stealing.
A few night before this assassination two-
or three good men in this county were,
on the same night and about.the sone
hour, called out of their houses and shot
at fortunately none of them were hurt.
A night or two after the shooting of
Flanagan, a man was waylaid and shot in
Comanche county, near the line of Erath.
These desperate deeds coming so thick
and fas' and resulting so fatally, have
created quite a sensation in the vicinity
where they were enacted; and great fears
Tire entertained in these communities for
the lives and safety of the people.
The people are wholly "at a loss to ac-
count for these outrages. So tar no due
has been found, or auy one identified
with the shooting.
It is to be hoped our officers will search
out rhe guilty parties, and that they may
receive the punishment they so richly
merit. Yours, etc..

—The best pr- sent for your wife or daugh-
ter would be one of those light-running
W hive giving maeltiffift at MciiXli^hps,
Of Bright’s disc iso, John F. TVv;s. on
the 27th of January, 1882, in the rtfiy-
tourth year of his age.
The greater portion ot his life was spent
in Madison county, Kentucky, where he
was born and where he iiad many devoted
relatives and friends. B 4ore locating in
Texas, however, he had lesided for al-
most ten years in Fayette county Ken-
tucky.
Scarcely one year ago he came, with his
family, to Fort Worth. He seemed a
strong man then—the glory ot his man-
hood had scarce begun to wane—yet.
though tve knew it not, even then a "fell
disease had fastened itself upon him and
was slowly consuming his vital ty. Grad-
uliy the sad end approached ; bravely he
struggled to overcome the disease, oat it
soon became evident that neither his own
efforts nor those ot his physicians could
avail aught; and, after five weary weeks
of intense suffering, God sent relief in
death. Alter a few hours of agony, he
fully realized his condition and expiessed
resignation to the Lora’s will.
Calling his family around him,he talked
to them calmly lor several hours, giving
advice and counsel for the future anu
commending them to the Lord’s care.
His only source of regret was that he
must leave his wife and enildren. One by
one, he bade them farewell; turning to his
wife, he repeated these words: “Ask, and
it shall be given; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you.” “I have done this,”
said h e, “and God is good; I have faith in
him.”
He had been a member of the Christ ain
Church tor about thirty years; and, in
this, as in every other relation in life, he
did the best he could. Those w'ho knew
him most thoroughly could
best appreciate his onaracter. In
business talent and sound judgment,
he had few peers, and in business trims
actions he was prompt and exact, yet
liberal. Largely trusted, it may be
truthfully affirmed that he never violated
a trust. He was simple and uuosteu-
tious in his life, aud was, at all times,
honest, candid and upright in his associa-
tions with men. Integrity', unselfishness
and fidelity were prominent traits in his
character. There was something beautiful
and touching in his devotion to his wife
and children. Quiet, reserved, and almost
timid in his intercourse with strangers,
around his own fireside he was tender
and affectionate, entering with zeal into
all the little plans and joys of his house-
hold. No reasonable wish ot his family
was ever left ungratifi d, aud though in-
dulgent with his children, he was posi-
tive in controlling them, and yielded to
their young wishes only when he de in -d
it right and expedient,
His sympathy was easily arou ed by
poverty or distress; the poor and trie a:i-
tortunate nt-vt r appealed to him in vain.
But, he is gone now—gone—and his
wire and children will yearn vainly ior his
presence through the years to c iii; yet,
though they grieve, it is not as those who
are without hope. He went
“Sustained and soothed by an unfaltering
trust,
And approached his grave like one who
wraps the drapery ot his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams,”' J. c. T.

Feb. 1, 1882. f
Yesterday was a very nice day, and if
everybody didn’t feel belter, they ought
to have done so. The roads are so bad
that nobody comes to town except from
the direst necessity, and as a natural con-
sequence, but little country produce is
brought io town. Wood still commands
from $4 00 to $5.00 per cord. Tln-re is a
a downward tendency in butter and egg-',
and we may reasonably expect further
decline.?.
The receipts of cotton were very light,
and the tumble down that futureg have
taken have made buyers a little ticklish.
There has beeu no actual decline in spot
cotton, but it is by no means strong. Buy-
ers are a little off. The gr eery and drv
goods markers are still improving a li-
tie.
The proof reader made a grievous urs-
take vesteiday when he made us say riil-
road Jreights had been advanced "fifty”
cents per hundred. It. should have been
“fiifreen” cents per hundred, which in
quite a difference, as all shippers wil
readily agree. We repeat yesterdays quo-
tations on all articles.
