The next California excursion leaves
Fort Worth Wednesday night unless the
change in time on the Texas and Pacific
affects it
The Fort Worth Western corps of en-
gineers undei Chief Kngineer Hall is now
on the way to Seymour in Baylor county
running the lines from Graham on the
mam line
A number of our prominent citizens
are taking considerable Interest in Air
Goelets reeling chair and sleeping car
and the prospects are goood for benefit
to Fort Worth in having the cars built
here
Tomorrow there will be a change in
the running of trains on the Texas and
Pacific Tne Fort Worth and Colorado
accommodation will be discontinued and
thethrough trains will be reversedthe Cal-
ifornia westbound leaving Fort Worth in
the morning in place of at night and the
St Louis eastbound pasalng through at
night There will be two trains each
way east of Fort Worth daily the accom-
modation train stopping here and starting
from this point
Nothing can be accomplished without
an effort and it the cities on the proposed
Southern Pacific extension want the road
let them act Crocket is moving as is
shown from the following tasen from the
Crocket Economist The citizens of
Crockett and Houston county should have
a meeting and make some organized effort
to secure the railroad now about to be
built from Fort Worth to Woodville
From present indications the road will
certaiuly be put through and the only
question is whether it will come to this
place or not It will certainly not unless
some effort is made by our people to
secure it Crockett got one railroad by a
great effort and another can now be
secured with but little inducement
on our part Crockett has the geo-
graphical position to become the center
of the Huntington iystem of railroads in
Eastern Texas Let us have a railroad
committee to confer with like committees
of Fort Worth Fairfield Jlexia Wood
ville and Waxahachie to show up the
advantages and resources of the country
through which the road will pass and the
inducements to be offered and what
the people along the line are willing to
do That has the true ring and Thk
Gazbtte is it formed that leading citi-
zens are bacsing their paper in its move

Wall one of the foremost and most ener-
getic citizens of Houston county As
previously stated Fort Worth is ready
Crockett is also ready so let ns hear
from the other places The Gazette
stales from positive knowledge tht the

Graham Tex Feb 18 The Fort
Worth Western surveying corps returned
from their surveying trip to Throckmor
ton last Wednesday They report an ex-
cellent line to that place From Graham
to Throckmorton no obstacles are en-
countered whatever They start a line
from this place to Seymour this morning
On To Colemnn
The Fort Worth and Kio Grande is com-
ing to Coleman and theBce to San Angelo
and dont you forget it Our left handed
friends may call it a branch or what they
please but thats the route shes going

get the road a field of excellent coal
and we have the cash capital to de elop
li paid ap The work socs bravely on
and the next line to be surveyed will be

ready secured fColeman Voice

There is no doubt that the Frisco rail-
way will branch out when it rcathes Tex-
as One of its lines will extend south
from Paris towards Tyler and Sabine Pa = s
Another will go westward seeking the
most prosperous territory and terminat-
ing at a point where frieidly connection
can be effected The route from Arthur
Cltv via Bonham and McKinney to Fort
Worth is most inviting and the Frisco
people are not blind to its advantages
A slight inducement is all that is neces-
sary to make the Frisco take hold of the
project Bonham Heview
Throckmortons llocm
With the Fort Worth Western Kailroad
almost secured and three trunk lines of
railroad pointing this way from the
south viz the Houston ind Texas Cen-
tral the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and
the San Antonio and Aransas Pass one
of which is sure to come np the old
cattle trail route and cross the first
named road here Throckmorton may
well consider her star in the ascendant
And we would right here remark to all
those who wish to secure a cheap home
in the west that they had best not delay
until the boom is fully upon us

On to Jacksboro
The grade from Fort Worth here is
very easy there are no high hills or deep
valleys to cross The line simply fol-
lows the West Fork valley to Springtown
and gradually passes on to the ridge
which melts into the valleys and thence
along this ridge to Jacksb ro there be
ing no great dilllculty anywhere along
the line from Fort Worth here A popu-
lar error that Jacksboro was away up in
high rugged mountains has always been
held up to syndicates to scare them off
to some other place Tne facts as shown
by Captain Hall the engineer are that
the ascent from Fort Worth to this plice
is very gentle the altitude of this place
above Fort Worth as given by him is only
456 feet distance is sixtyfour miles A road
into this county and the northwest will
bring a rich and by far the largest terri-
tory tributary to Fort Worth that is not
now traversed by a railroad We need
the road and there is certainly no better
field for investment If Fort Worth is
the first city to tap this country with a
railroad the trade to tr at place will
simply be immense JacKsborro Ga-

MATTERS AT HENRIETTA
IlENKlETrA TEV Feb 191SS7
To the Editor of tho Gazette
Your correspondent from this place in
The Gazette of the i th iust stated
that I went down to where the Gainesville
Henrietti and Western Bailroad con-
tractor was at work on my land and with
a shotgun put the men out Tnls is
false in so far as it stated or implied that
I had a gun of any kind about me Inas-
much as many false reports huve been cir-
culated ab ut this right of way matter I
trust you will indulge me in a brief state-
ment of the facts ily donation to the rail-
road will cost me from 32j > to S300
and I gave one and onehalf miles of
right of way through my land ten miles
east of town but because I do not see lit
to turn over such of my town property as
the railroad sees lit to take all this
talk and trouble has come up-
I have oS2 acres of land inside
the corporate limits on the east side
of town through which the line
of the railroad runs over 1100 varas
leaving the same on the west side about
800 feet south of my house Three sur-
veys were made at different distances
from my house and I offered to
accept 1000 if they would take
the one furthest off and 2000 for
the next and 3000 for the one nearest
my house and this lite was finally
adopted I also offered to give the right
of way on another line that was run but
which did not come through the best resi-
dence property I had I finally offered to
choose a man and let the committee
choose one and they two a third if
necessary and agreed to accept what
damages they gave me but this they
would not do As it is there is one cut
one thousand feet long and running to a
deDth of seven feet besides other smaller
cuts When the contractor first cut my
fence and went to work and I ordered
him to quit he said N Johnston of the
right of way committee had told him it
would be all right for him to go to work
Johnston knew better at the time
About January 23 the contractor begged
permission to do some work in that
month in order to get an estimate to
keep him from bankruptcy and he was
allowed to work until February 1 and
then stopped and promised not to work
any more till the matter had been set
tied About the 1st of February just
after condemnation proceedings had been
begun L C Barrett an attorney here
and bondsman on the right ot way said
he would accept my offer to turn over
my house barns etc and the 83U acres
of land at cost S18235 three years ago
He represented that A D Goodenough
another bondsman and a loan agent was
his partner In the trade
Next day he came aud wanted to lis it
up in this novel way He wanted me to
execute a deed acknowedging a consider-
ation of 30000 of which 32000 was to
be 6tated as cash paid and take a note
for the S18000 Then he and his partner
he said conld get a good loan on the
property pay off the note to me and have
something left This to say the lea3t
was a very questionable business propo-
sition but it did not work
The first suit for condemnation came
up February 4 but fearing the sufficiency
of their papers the bondsmen refused to
try it On the fth I left lor Gainesville
and Dallas and returned on the 11 Hi
In my absence papers were served on W
B Stickney who keeps my books and
next day the 0th the contractor went to
work I had J II Stephens my attor-
ney institute proceedings to enjoin the
parties and the papers were taken to
Judge P M Stein at Graham who
granted the writ on the 12th and it was
served on the loth On my return home
on the 11th I found the men at work aud
ordered the men out and they went but
I had no gun On the 15th the condem-
nation proceedings came up again and
after the commissioners held that service
on W B Stickney was just as good as
serice on memy attorney did not appear
further in the trial The commissioners
allowed me 241 40 When the first pro-
ceedings failed my attorney wrote to our
honorable County Judge and asked htm
to appoint new commissioners it being a-
new proceeding and asked for disinter-
ested impartial men and alleging out-
spoken prejudice on the part of one of the
old ones This man was retained and two
others appointed Our town was to give
the Gaiuesville Henrietta and Western
Kailrcad Company 38000 cash and the
right of way through the county
Six others and myself made a
bond for 23000 of this amount
and the richt of way outside the
city limits of this same my part will
reach fully 3230 besides the right of
way and I gave one and a half miles of
right of way through my land ten miles
east of town The remaining 13000 and
right of way through the town falls to the
lot of some thirtylive or forty business-
men and others in this city I think I
have given the railroad all that could be
expected of me and at least all I desire
to give and I do not feel legally or
morally obligated to donate anything
further and now simply ask for reason-
able damages J B Hopkins of the Hen
rietta Independent says that the award of
241 40 is generally conceded to be liberal
I presume so To some it may possibly
seem extravagantly so but inasmuch as I
have offered 500 to have the dumps of red
dirt hauled away the award dont strike
me that way Thanking you for your
valuable space I am yours etc
W B WOR3HAM
On to Throckmorton
Mr W T Andrews returned last Mon-
day from Fort Worth He brings very
hopeful news from his conference wiih
First VicePresident Lawrence and otiier
officials of the Fort Worth Western They
say they intend to build the road Albu-
querque N M being the ultimate objec-
tive point but that unless it appears that
some other road is about to get into their
territory they may stop awhile when the
coa fields of Young county are reached
Tney would not say definitely whether
this place or Seymour would get the road
but might give us more definite informa-
tion when Lngineer Hall is heard
from as to the respective routes from
Graham to this place and Seymour which
he is engaged in surveying and when the
two phces are heard from as to bonuses
etc The survey to this place having been
completed and the route founa exception-
ally good and this place being directly
on a line to Albuquerque while Seymour
is thirty miles off the line and the route
not near so good from Graham we are
stroncly persuaded to believe that the
Fort Worth Western is ours especially if
we can put up pretty liberally

State Notes
If Fort Worth the great railroad city
of the state wants connection with live
towns centering there it will not longer
overlook the fact that Honey Grove is on
the route of the Frisco from Arthur to
the Fort Dear Gazette give us a fair
chance and we will shake with you before
1SS closes Honey Grove Herald
We learn from a reliable source that
the surveying party on the extension of
the old Dallas and Wichita Railroad from
Denton are now this side of Greenwood
coming in the direction of Sunset This
company once surveyed a line through
this section where the town of Sunset
now stands and if they continue to fol-
low up the tame old survey the road
from Denton will cross the Fort Worth
and Denver at Sucset which seems very
probable now from all indications Sun-
set extends a most cordial welcome to
the enterprise Sunset Journal

THE INVESTIGATION
The CommoD Sense View of
Pntriotic
Newspaper
New York limes
There Is an ancient and tishiike flavor
in the announcement that a subcommit-
tee of the Senate is investigating a tale
of outrage in Texas Measured by the
calendar it is not so long since an inves-
tigation of this kind formed one of the
relaxations of every session of Congress
The result was never anything practical
The most that was achieved was a more
or less picturesque exhibition of southern
manners and customs and the manufac-
ture of campaign thunder
It is a proof how fast the world moves
that the present investigation should have
so antiquated an air It may be a proof
also how slowly the Senate moves that
the majority of its members should im-
agine that there is any public or party
purpose now to be achieved by an investi-
gation of this sort Senator Hoar by
some mischance does not figure on the
committee where his zeal and his simple
faith that a great work was to be accom-
plished by the investigation would make
him Invaluable as a survival and
reminder of a bygone state of things
His place is taken by the juniornow soon
to become the senior Senator from New
York Mr Evarts is by no means so fa-
miliar an object as Mr Hoar in the atti-
tude of brandishing the torch that is to tire
the nortnern heart But then Mr Kvatts
political sagacity impels him to place him-
self boldly on the safe side of au issue of
some kind and there are so few is = ues
about which he can be reasonably ceriain
which the safe side is He has upon dif-
ferent occasions planted himself firmly on
ooth sides of the great lardcheese and
suetbutter issue though one of these
committals was professional and perhaps
does not count Upon silver and civil
service reform and other topics of current
interest upon which men differ he has
avoided disfavor by maintaining silence
But there can be no dissent from the
proposition that outrages are outrage-
ous Mr Evarts may shed tho last word
of his vocabulary in defense of that prop-
osition without running the least riskaud
it Is to be expected that the subject
matter of this investigation will afford a
congenial theme for the eloquence so of-
ten obstructed by a consideration of the
uncertainty of human affairs
In respect of picturesque material for
social philosophers and novelists the
present investigation bids fair to rival
any one of its predecessors The frank-
ness with which the Texan carries out
his resolution that a Republican precinct
shall not be permitted to give a Re
publican majority is extremely interest
ing He does not trouble himself to
intimiditc the colored Republicans
or to deprive them of their votes
After they have voted as they like the
white Democrats simply destroy the bal-
lot boxes and suppress all evidences of
the unfavorable result Occasionally the
custodians of the boxes resist this method
of determining elections and then trage-
dies occur such as the homicide which
the subcommittee is now engaged in in-
vestigating
Everybody will agree with Senator
Hoar in retrospect and with Senator
Evarts in advance that this coudition of
things is very pitiful and very scandalous
These statesmen in their turn will find
themselves compelled to agree with
everybody that there is nothing that the
Senate can wisely or effectually do in the
premises The prescription of these
statesmen that everybody should vote
the Republican ticket has teen
tried and has failed When the
executive and both houses of Cocgress
were irpublican outrages at elections
in the south were considerably more rife
and more serious than they are at pres-
ent We do not mean to say that this is
a case of cause and effect but
simply that the political complex-
ion of the government has nothing
directly to do with outrages
The Republican party could not put a
slop to them when it was in full power
and they have not entirely cea ed now
wnen the Democrats have control of the
Executive Department and of the Lower
House They will be diminished by the
progress of civilization and the most
effectual way of contributing to this re-
sult is by increasing the number of
schools churches newspapers and
other agencies of enlightenment in the re-
gion in which they prevail The applica-
tion of this method however is scarcely
within the competency of the Senate and
perhaps the best course open to that
body to take with regard to an electiou
row in Texas is the same that it would
take with regard to an election row in
New Hampshire to wit to do nothing at
all

EENTED REVELRY
Fact About tho French Balls of New
York Hiliirions Ylee Hired at
So Much per Honr
Professional Dancers Engaged to > o the
Cau Van While billy Gudgeons Im-
agine the Thine Is Genuine
Providence Journal
New York is now in the season of the
French balls a name given to a round of
two or three great French assemblies
and two or three assemblies of tne demi-
monde of both sexes These bills are
not what they are put up to be They
are not firstclass opportunities for in-
dulging in wickedness All the vice there
Is In them is made to order hired and
exhibited like a stage performance
In order to understand these curions
balls let us understand one from its in-
ception The company getting it up is
formed either out of a club or an especial
syndicate of speculators who ire backed
by liquor dealers agents of foreign wines
or American whiskies and cigar manufac
turers Eitner that or they go Into the
scheme to sell out the bar and restaurant
privileges for enough money to in
sure a handsome profit before a cent is
expended Next the Academy of Music
is rented and the date advertised After
this tho tovn is Hooded with tickets
These are always notalhe works of art
showy pictures of a cancan or a merry
group of reckless masSerg These
pictures are either suggestive or
downricht vicious In some years
they are not too bad to show to a
lady in other years they are However
ladies have nothing to do with French
balls The tickets are marked Price
5 and hundreds of gudgeons buy them
but no one who understands the game
ever thinks of paying for one They are
distributed among the principal bar-
rooms and worse places of resort and
peddled or given away by the bartenders
and demimonde The rounders about
town aie not fools enough to pty know-
ing as they do that vthen they have
lunched their partners ana paid for the
wine and hat and cloak checks they are
certain to be at least 20 or perhaps 50
out Tnerefore they go to the ball man-
ager or their ftverite bar man and get a
ticket for nothing
When the night arrives the parquet at
the Academy is boarded over French
and other flags and shields bearing
comic pictures and stands of flowers
and perhaps a fountain of scented water
hac given the great theater a ballroom
appearance Bauds are scattered about on
the stage and In the salkrits A lot
of hired masker form a procession and
the other maskers fail in behind These
other maskers are women of evil lives and
young college students bartend-
ers boyish debauches and hilly
countrymen The adult New Yoiker
never appears except iu even-
ing dress and insists that his female
friend shall go in regular ballroom attire
He never dances and he does not permit
her to do so as a iule There are some
comic stage performances and a ballet or
two and the the ball begins But it lan-
guishes The public sits aronnd in
the boxes looking on or iu the gal-
lery seats drinking The dancers
are few and men are sent around to urge
people to dance lest the thing be a flat
failure Countrymen are promised part-
ners and the college boys and gilded
stripplings are only too eager to join the
others never expecting that these ethers
are hired for from 2 to 50 for the night
according to what sort of dancing they
have to do
It is a garrulous bibulous dubious
crowd that you lind yourself in You
would have to be a wry peculiar maa if
you could complacently imagine having
your name printed amoDg the names of
the others The women around you are
all of the loud and swaggering stamp
and the men are such as you despise or
shun for various reasons You notice that
tne men about town from the Huffman
House barroom and the fast clubs are
not present Wait until between mid-
night and 1 oclock and you will see
them At that time tne creat theater be-
comes packed and by a host of men in
evening dress who bring no wome out
who drink almost as fast as a repeating
rifle can shoot Their idea has been to
keep away until the crowd has lunched
and Is half tipsy Then is to come the
widely advertised excitement
It comes but as I said It palls It Is
too transparently fraudulent for endur
ance Men from other parts of the
country who never saw decency set at
naught in public swallow it and perhans
feel a delicious sense it danger and guilt
while lookiug m or sharing in it
and so do ihe striplinas to whom all
of life is new But what is it
Why for instance suddenly a
quadrille or waltz breaks up and
everybody rushes to the middle of the
fioor where in the hollow of a circle half
a dozen rows deep a man and woman are
dancing a cancan Both seem slighily
tipsy and wholly reckless She thrashes
the air with her skirt never letting go of
them but raising and swaying and toss
ing them madly while she pirouettes and
sometimes kicks above her head He
dances in exact time with her and
uses pantomimic actions that it is not
necessary or permissible to describe
The crowd bretks and runs to another
place where a tall man is dancing with a
young girl in a balloonlike dress of
bright scarlet At times be catches both
her hands and vaults her over his shoul-
ders Perhaps she ends her performance
with a somersault It is sometimes done
Who is he Who is she the voices
cryWhv
Whv hes a broker and shes a clerk
in a Broadway candy store the whisper
runs
Bah how silly Isn not every one see
that this is commercial vice rented by the
night that this man is a professional ath-
lete and dsccer and the woman is his
companion or partner in business a bal
letdancer or circusrider or athiete
Every now and then there is a genuine
bit of delirium Some young woman
full of wine rushes upon the waxed
floor and grasping her skirts begins a
cancan But see an orderly puts his
hands on her shoulders and marches her
off the floor If she does not behave
after that she will be marched out into
the street There must be nothing gen-
uine Thai would not be French It
mi ht not be governable nobody knows
what might happen if people were al-
lowed to misbehave for nothing But
hired misbehavior is another thing
It is only suggestive after all The
hired skirts only indulge in certain limit-
ed vagaries Watch as long as yon will
the hired dancers will not overstep a cer
Ltaln bound Once In a while however
> favery gratuitous female volunteer will
prance around for some minutes before
in inTiilliT I
any orderly stops her It Is such acci-
dents that keep the thing alive
By this time the scene all over the
great theater has become anything but
attractive for any but a tipsy pei son It
is 3 oclock In the morning Here and
there couples of tlpsv women are
clawing one another like cats There
is a poor creature hysterical with
drink and screaming and enrsing like a
maniac over yonder is a woman sodden
drunk on a bench drunken men are on
all sides noise and oaths and ribald songs
are in the air Thus ends a French ball
