Trying: to Break Into the Convent—
Caught In a Tight Place—Rescued
and He-Captured.
About midnight Inst night the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Throckmorton
and Twelfth streets were awakened by
a vigorous ringing of bells, pounding of
bannisters, slamming of windows and
Bhouting of Inmates at the convent. I lie
affirlghtfd Sisters had the windows
raised "and were hallowing, "lhlef.
thief! robbers!" as loudly as they could-
Mr. C. J. Stewart, who lires on the cor-
ner of Twelfth and Throckmorton, di-
rectly opposite the convent, hastened to
their relief, and was informed that a
burglar was trying to force un entrance
at the buck door. Mr. Stewart was im-
mediately Joined by Thomas I; lelds, and
together' they proceeded to the rear of
the building to investigate. All was
quiet apparently in that quarter, and
they were aboLt to take their departure
when Mr. Stewurt saw a man crouching
in a corner of the piazza, lie noise-
lessly informed Mr. Fields of his dis-
covery, and together tbtjy essayed to
capture him. They talked loud, pre-
tending thct they were going away, so
us to throw the burglar oil' qis guard,
and then jumped forward and caught
him In a twinkling. He proved to be a
powerful man. and tliey had all they
wanted to do to throw nim down, and
even then he resisted with all hi3 force,
biting, kicking and plunging like a trap-
ped lioness, lie did not speak a word,
however, until Mr. Stewart said that
they would take him to jail, when he
said. "He would be blanked if they
would." That was the only sentence
he uttered. Messrs. Stewart and Fields
got him on his feet und started for the
street, forcing their prisoner along much
against his will. On the street they
were joined by a third party who
flourished a revolver and advised
them to turn the prisoner loose.
This they refused to do until his atti-
tude became decidedly threatening,
when they released the prisoner. As
soon as this was done, tlie man with
the pistol ran away as fast as lie could
and Messrs. Stewart and Fields immed-
iately re-captured their prisoner. They
were joined at this point by Mr. W. C.
Gallaway who presented a pistol in
close proximity to the prisoner, which
had the effect of making him accept his
fate more philosophically. He was
thrown down again, and Mr. Stewurt se-
curing a rope bound him firmly, while
Mr. Fields summoned a hack and the
prisoner was taken to the jail. He re-
fused to give his name, and acted gen-
erally as if he was crazy. Mr. Stewart
thinks he recognized thr. party with the
pistol as an attache of the variety tlier.
tre, The Sisters have been victimized
to a considerable extent lately, several
trunks having been stolen from the hall
of the convent. They first heard the
man trving to force an entrance at the
front 'door, and, failing at that,
point lie directed his attention to the
reardoor. He did not desist until the
appearance of Mr. Stewart, when, as
stated above, he sought shelter in a cor-
ner of the pizza. The attaches of the
jail are Inclined to think that the man is
'insane. If not so in fact, he is cer-
tainly endeavoring to create that im
pression. He will be subjected to l
medical investigation this evening, and
further proceedings will depend 011 the
report of the doctors.
A Canard Corrected.
A special to the Dallas Herald of yes
terdav, dated at San Antonio, February
10, is "apparently intended to injure one
hotel 111 that city for the benefit of
others. The special contains the state-
ment that a case of small-pox at the
hotel mentioned was the source of that
Tiiseuse in Fort Worth and other cities.
Speaking for Fort Worth the Daily
Democrat oilers an explicit denial of
the statement. No c se of small-pox
has beenibrouglit to this city from San
Antonio. The San Antonio hotel.against
which the shaft of the llerald's
coi respondent is directed, hud
a single case of the disease
among its guests—one of Major Cool-
boughs engineers who contracted it In
Mexico. This occurred the first week
in last month. The man was removed
to the hospital and the room cleaned up,
the furniture, bedding, etc. burned and
even the plaster broken down and
hauled away. In fact, every dlsinfec-
ing proccsa was resorted to and after-
wards the room was nailed up. A Dem-
ocrat reporter is assured that the facts,
are as stated bv Mayor French, Alder-
man Fritz Shriner and other Sail An-
tonio officials.

An Interesting: Sermon.
The Rev. Mr. Weir, of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church. preached to
a large audience last night and attract-
ed some attention by his remarks, Un-
happily this religious and moral organ
had not a representative present, the
staff'being distributed among the other
churches, but from parties who were
present it was learned that the preacher
made the fur fly. He attacked human
nature generally and larruped young
men encesstvely. The young men of
to-dnv, according to the learned devine,
hud nice, smiling faces and attractive
curly hair; they were smooth talkers
and outwardly made a pleasing object
to look upon, "but so," said the devine,
"does a Berkshire hog." He guve the
ladies a mauling oho, and deprecated tlie
habit of going to balls, part ies and plays,
where they were thrown into the com-
pany of young men. Mr. Weir said he
was a brand plucked from the burning
himself, or, in othci words, "was
through the mill," and knew what he
was talking about. According to his
idea there was not a redeeming feature
in liumun nature.
Death of a Venerable Lady.
Perhaps the oldest woman in Tarrant
county paid the last debt to nature last
Saturday, and crossed the divide to the
unknown bourne beyond. Her name
was Mrs. Morrow, and she lived near
Smithfield. nnd was in her itlst year at
the time of her death. She was buried
at Smithfield yesterday, her remains
being followed to the grave oy a large
concourse of people. The deceased lauy
was the mother of eight sons and three
daughters, and she outlived Bliem all
but one. She was a native of North
Carolina, but moved to Missouri in 183tt,
where she resided until her surviving
son, Mr. Robert Morrow, brought her to
this county, about stx years ago. She
had been a widow tor the past thirty
years, and was a member of the Metho-
dist church for seventy-five y^ara.

Amusements.
The Deutscher Verein hall was fairly
crowded with a select audience to wit-
ness the rendition of "Led Astray" by
the Lambert & Richardson combination
last Saturday night. The drama, one of
Bouclcault's best, offers a fine field for
dramatic talent, and Julia Blake and
James E. Wilson, who played respec-
tively the "Countess" and "Count," did
extremely well. Miss Blake has few su-
periors in emotional druma, and at times
rises to the height of perfection. Mr.
Wllron adds to a fine appearance a well
modulated voice, and Invariably gives
not only a correct but a classical rendi-
tion of character. Miss Ida Blake as
"Mathilde" was charming, and hud the
entire audience her willing slaves from
the beginning, harry Robinson :
"Hector Placlde" did remarkably well,
and Mr. Richardson, us the "Baron,"
made a decided lilt.
Brlggs' Boston Minstrels will be here
next Friday night. This is said to be
the best minstrel troupe on the road,
and theatre goers may expect a treat.
Conosrnlng tliem the Minneapolis Even-
ing Journal says: "There was a large au-
dience ut the Academy of Music lust
evening, to witness the opening per-
formance of Briggs' Boston Operatic
Minstrels. The company is not so large
u3 some of the so-called mastodon com-
binations, but in some respects gives a
better performance than many more
pretentious companies. The company
makes a specialty of excellent singing,
and the electic quartette is by all odds
the best any minstrel company has ever
brought to Minneapolis. Their singing
of "The Old Oaken Bucket," in the first
part was enthusiastically encored, and
111 the olio the audience called them out.
several times. The singing and danc-
ing of Cannody, Mack, Morton and
Russell, the specialties or Shinier, West,
Weber and Zimmerman, were all en-
co:ed, and the progrrmme throughout
was very good. This evening, they
make their last appearance at the Acad-
emy for thuseuson."
The committee having in charge the
grand calico hall to be given by the
Deutscher Verein, on the evening of
Washington's birthday, are sparing
neither time nor money to muke it u
complete success. It will be the great
event of the season and none should fail
to be present.
The Lillian Spencer company will be
here in about ten days.

A Train Wrecker Cau3ht.
It is a notorious fact thut the people
along the line of the Santa Fe railroad
between this city nnd Temple are not in
love with the railroad company for some
cuuse or other. The train hands have
considerable difficulties to contend with
at different points along the road, and
are getting so well accustomed to it.
that they oecome lonesome if nothing
happens. For instance, at Cleburne, a
delightful hamlet, about thirty
miles from here, noted for
the beauty and accomplishments
of its female population, the girls flirt
with the train men and endeavor to drive
them crazy. At Blum, some distance
further on, svstematic attempts at rob-
bery are made, and about Clinton and
McGregor the innocent population
amuse themselves by stoning tlie passing
trains. Yesterday afternoon the passen-
ger train! coming this, way, when
about midway between McGregor
and Moody was attacked by a
solitary • assailunt. _ A stone weigl -
ing several pounds was hurled
with forc« through the window of a
passenger coach, narrowly missing a
young lady and shattering glass all over
her face and head. The brakeinnn pull-
ed the bell and the train stopped. Sev-
eral of the passengers saw the culprit
drop behind a cotton bale, nnd they de-
ployed as skirmishers for the purpose of
catching him. He "tumbled to the
racket" and .ran like a startled deer
across the fields. One of the
passengers mounted a horse thut
wub hitched to a fence, gave chase and
succeeded in catching up with the cul-
Erit and capturing him. He proved to
e a boy about thirteen or fourteen
years old, the son of a farmer residing
near Moodey. They were about to
bring him up to McGregor and turn lilin
over to the authorities when the lad's
father appeared and promised that he
would punish him sufficiently if he was
turned over to him. This was airreedto,
and the old gentleman "sailed in" in sue h
a vigorous manner that many of the
timed were afraid he would kill the boy.
The train started on, and as long 11s the
•passengers could see, the irate father
was pummelling his offspring. The
stone thrown went clear through the
coach, shuttering the windows 011 both
sides.
PERSONAL.
Mj*. George B. Loving returned from
Austin last Saturday night.
Mr. I'. E. Sargent, proprietor of the
Illinois House, is quite sick from an ab-
cess of the liver.
George S. Smith, state deputy for

gate.
Mr. M. B. Davis, for some time back
connected with the city department of

village of Dallas this evening, where he
expects to remain on a visit for a couple
of days. Mr. Davis is an Industrious
news'gatherer, andisjpossessed of all the
qualities that contribute to the make-up
of a thorough good fellow.
E. A. Snow nnd Henry Schwartz,
formerly proprietors of the Star Auc-
tion House, pulled up stakes some time
ago and removed to Dallas, looking for
n suitable investment, They returned
to the Fort yesterday considerably dis-
gusted with Dallas, and with a firm res-
olution to stay in this city in future.
Like all nilgrlms. they unhesitatingly
declare Fort Worth the be8t business
center In Texas.
Advice For February.

THE T. & P. WORKSHOPS.
A Redhot Hive of Industry—A. Reporter
"After" Repairs.
Among the hives of Industry that eon-
tribute to the growth and business pros-
perity of our city, the repair and ma-
chine shops of the Texas & Pacific rail-
road company may be reckoned as of
considerable importance. These shops
and the round-house are located 011 the
company's grounds on the right of the
tracks as you go from the freight to the
union dep'of. and cover about four ucres
of ground. Tliey tire the chief r^puif
shops ef the Fort Worth and El Puso
division, another being located at Big
Springs, something over three hundred
miles west of here.
The shops ut tills place do an immense
amount of repairing, mostly of the roll-
ing stock and machinery of the Texus
<Jt Pacific, but they also do repairii g f< r
other companies; und altera sinaish-up
and wrecks tin'! their way into the
shops, they are "pulled out" in a few
days, almost us good us new, and ready
for duty again.
But little available information could
be obtained by the reporter, as to the
work done here, except' from observa-
tion, as every man of the large force em-
ployed was too busy to "fool uwuy uny
time" answering questions.
Mr. H. <J. McKelvy, assistant master
mechanic, superintends the works here.
There are ten forges in full blast both
day and night, and two engines furnish
the steam power by which all the ma-
chinery is run. Each forge li s its gang
of workmen and special assignments of
work, und is directed by a skilled me-
chanic.
The force now employed numbers two
hundred men—laborers, mechanics and
machinists. The pay of tlie laborers
ranges from one dollar and fifty cents to
one dollar and seventy-five per day, ac-
cording to skill and efficiency in special
brunches* of work.
The gentlemanly clerk in the office of
the master mechanic advised the re-
porter to "go through the different de-
partment,nnd see for himself," and this
advice being acted upon, the borer pro-
truded himself through an open door
and was confronted by a trip-hammer
that was making the sparks fly from u
red-hot coupling bolt; next lie was par-
alix.ed by the din of several vulcans who
were performing 011 a steam boiler with
hammers and chisels; was brought out
of his trance by being "run down" by a
laborer wheeling coal to the engine;
apologized to the wheeler, and "hud his
starboard coat-tnil burnt off' while try-
ing to "take in" the operations of 'u
planing machine. While investigating
the wonderful workings of a machine
that was drilling holes'through a six-
inch muss of iron, his sombrero was
cuuglit by u machinery band and liter-
uily denuded of brim, and a scule from
heated Iron having knocked a glass out
of his spectacles, he retired in a some-
what dilapidated condition. He was
much impressed by the scenes of indus-
try exhibited, und though the busy
home of u repuir shop was all around
him, he lost no time in finding other
quarters where necessary personal re-
pairs might be obtained,

Hon. R. F. Trevelick, of Detroit,
Mich., will deliver a lecture on "Labor

of hearing him. All are invited to at-

Huntington Before Congress.
Huntington the California railway
king, comes before congress asking its
nutnority for the consolidation of rail-
way lines crossing Texas. The con-
stitution of Texas inhibits such <!on-
eolldation. but no law has been enacted
by the legislature making the constitu-
tional provision operative. There ia no
penalty for its violation. Huntington,
therefore, has his lobby here seeking,
even now, to secure rights through
congress which he can not acquire in
Texas. lie and his associates own the
Central Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco. The means of building this
road were given Huntington by con-
gress, and after the work was done
there was a surplus fund with which to
build roads from San Francisco to
every port on the Califor-
nia coast and from San Francisco to El
Paso, in Texas. Huntington, thus
ow ning the line from Ogden to the
Pacific, can now fix rates as he chooses
from Ogden west, nnd tux transcontin-
ental trade and travel by this route as
he chooses. If congress will only com-
ply with his demands, enabling him to
consolidate lines across Texas, he will
be perfect master of both transconti-
nental rallwav routes, and plunder the
country at will. His bill was thrust
aside most righteously a few days ago
in the house, but he proposes to have it
called up when, if no Texan or other
representative of the people object, it
will pass, Huntington having already
paid the usual charges made by the lob-
by. Falling In accomplishing his purpose
in this manner, .Huntington relies for
success In his grand grasping scheme of
selfish lust for power on the inattention
of members, when, In the very last hours
of the session, he may force the enuct-
nient of the desired legislation. Give
him what he asks, let him pass from El
Puso across Texas to New orleuns, nnd
his consolidated line is perfect from Og-
den.to San Francisco, nnd thence to
Siew'port News. Lateral roads tire no
longer competing lines, and only subor-
dinate feeders to this mighty govern-
ment-built road which ho owns. He

of those wise law-givers of Texas who

grievous calamity that, In befalling

Not one state alone is affected ruinously
by Huntington's purposes, but all the
states. The only relief and only se-
curity possible, if congress do Hunting-
ton's bidding, consists In promoting t lie

New York Reporters.
I met a reporter for a very bright
morning paper yesterday, ana I said:
"How do you live, anyhow?" He said:
"The newspaper reporter eats when he
is hungry, ana not at stated times. The
character of the meal depends upon the
condition of his purse and the place he
may be In ut the time. If it is toward
the end of the week, he may be found
discussing beef nnd beans at Hitch-
cock's—the Dclmonico's of poor men. If
It is pay dayi the reporter may be found
at the Brunswick or equally expensive
restaurants. I know of one who, find-*
ing $20 in his pocket and feeling hun-
gry, sat down to the Brunswick cafe
and ran up a bill of $1) for his dinner.
Then he gave the waiter a quarter, put
a Reina Victoria between his lips, nest-
led in the corner of a sofa and imagined
himself a millionaire. When the cigar
was finished and the fumes of the Bur-
gundy hud cleured away, he went over
to the Sixth ward to investigate a tene-
ment-house murder, and assist the cor-
oner in making an autopsy of the body
01 the murdered woman.
"Sometimes the reporter breakfasts
on fifteen cents, nnd in the evening is
assigned to a dinner which costs thirty
dollars a plate. He eats the richest
food, drinks the rarest wines and sighs
to think how gladly he would take a
five dollar bill in exchange for it all.
When a reporter pays for his own drink
he takes beer; when somebody else pays
for it, it is always champagne. No sen-
sible man would think of ofl'erlng any-
thing but champagne to a reporter of
one of the great duilies."—Brooklyn Ea-
