Tin factories are coming almost every-
day to Fort Worth now the railroads

merchants may come
The convention has adjourned and no
complaint is made of gouging Fort
Worth does not gouge its visitors as some
ether Texas towns do
Fort Woktji needs more wholesale

Irwas discourteous in Texas to move
the adjournment of a convention in
Texas that was largely composed of gen-
tlemen from other states The motion
came from Dallas of course The con-
vention was held in Fort Worth
The resignation of E T Koland as
slate treasurer of Missouri has raised an
interesting query Can a man who is
charged with defalcation in office resign
pending an Investigation The shortage
amounts to 532718 and this last move
would indicate that Mr Zsoland admits
its existenoe
Months ago when The Gazette desig-
nated the talk and half work on the al-

of our own people thought we were blind

If Fort Worth does not provide for
parks now the city will pay for it in the
future Heal estate has never yet taken
u step backward in Fort Worth and the
growth of the country is adding to realty
values in this city every day For years
the press has been pleading for action in
this matter and the time has come to
act

A Socialistic voto that numbers 1
500000 is not calculated to cause the
German emperor to follow blindly in
the lead of his imperial grandfather
The young emperors first mistake in
the lino of concession to growing senti-
ments will hardly cause him to seek
the extreme methods of German im-
perialism that prevailed in the rule of
his absolute grandfather
Some of our exchanges are unkind
enough to say ttrat the reputed starva-
tion in some parts of Kansas is probably
duo to the establishment of cooking
schools Life becomes an intricate prob-
lem when in one breath it is asserted
men cannot live without cooks and in
another that men die because of them
It reduces faith in culinary skill to the
belief that cooks like poets are born
not made
Geokge F Taehott asks in the New
Ideal why maigshould take alarm at the
approach of tho centle messenger steal-
ing quietly upon him to summon him
to his rest Well George there are
many reasons In the first place this is
a pretty good sort of a world after all
and secondly oven though a man be one
of the very elect tho prospect of push-
ing clouds for a steady occupation is not
altogether entrancing
IX a speech made by Dudley Field be-
fore the Massachusetts reform club at a
dinner at the Parker house the speaker
advocated a plan by which every voter
ebould at his registration indicate his
choice of candidate This would abro-
gate the present primaries as every
voter would assist in the nomination He
further favored compulsory voting
Many of the ballot reform schemes may
seem impracticable but it is a significant
fact that attention is being called to this
subjeot in so many parts of the Union
Tnc sad picture of Phillip H Welch
an attache of the New York Sunt who
continued for the sako of bis family his
humorous contributions to that paper
during the long protraoted agony of
death by canoer will bo remembered by
many A sympathy awakened by the
pathetic story of his heroism has found
expression in a noble provision for bis
family In a quiet unostentatious way
the case was presented to those who
knew him personally and jq print and
has resulted in a gift of 25000 to bis
widow The subscriptions ranged from
50 cents to S5000 and tho list embraced
the names of men prominent in every
calling
Tun PhiladelDhia Record has done a
good work for the poor of that city For
several years the Record feeling that
the railroad monopoly was taxing the
people too heavily for their coal opened
a coal business of its own bring-
ing in coal by the tram load and selling
it at prices below the market Dealers
rates were SG50 when the Record began
its work and the Record has steadily
knocked down tho price until now coa
is sold from its pile for 450 and even
at that price the Record gives the long
ton of 2210 pounds a large gain for the
consumers who before this enterprise
had not only to pay higher rates but take
short weight tons
Tjte decision in the United States
supreme court in the case Involving the
waterworks at Galesburg III is inter
estiug The facts are these Certain
parties contracted to build new works to
buy the maius etc and to supply the
oity The works were acoepted by the
city with special comraendatiou from the
officers whereupon the company issued
and sold bonds Later the service
proving unsatisfactory the city annulled
the franchise and took possession of its
former property Then the holders of
the bonds on default of the interest
bought the property of tho company and
by law undertook to get possession of the
mains and provide a supply of water
Judge Gresham of the United States cir-
cuit court gave a decision in 1888 in favor
of the oity holding that no subsequent
party could acquire other rights than
those originally possessed by the com-
pany and that those were forfeited by
nonfulfillment of contract And now
the supreme court bus sustained the
decision affirming the right of the city
to cancel the contract and declaring its
entire freedom from responsibility in re-
gard to tho bonds

THE SPUING PALACE
Coleman Voice Tho chief drawback
that Coleman experienced last year was
delay in an effort to organize Every-
thing was put off to the last moment
Time enough knooked us out of any
kind of preparation Now the papers
all over the state are telling us that
Spring Palace associations are being
organized and working committees ap-
pointed In many counties the ladles
have already gone to work preparing
decorations and soliciting subscrip-
tions Iu this latter duty they are
preeminent Tho ladies of Coleman
can gather more subscriptions in a week
than the gentlemen can in three months
Now we suggest that those favoring a
representation of our resources at the
Palace meet at an early day and that all
the ladies of Coleman be invited to take
part in that meeting and that we
try now and at once to make the thing a
success
With the little preparation made last
year we succeeded beyond our most
sanguine expectations It is in our
power now to excel if we make due effort
and make it in time

ing of more than ordinary interest held in the
Young Mens Christian association hall in

the Tceproblem that is now engaging1 the at-
tention of congress and of the entire cruntry will

ored people of the South and who know their

A TOWN FLOODED
Newport Ark Two Feet Under Water Bnsr
noss Suspended SeventyFive Thousand
Acres Cnltivated land Submerged
Memphis Te jn March 14 The river rose
onetenth toBay and is now 364 on the gauge
the highest point ever recorded and is still ris-
ing The Bteamer Emma Ethridge arrived a
noon from Paducah and after loading with
lumber sacks and supplies left for the threat-
ened district below the Arkansas river in
charge of engineer Sears The consensus Of
opinion here is that the levees on
the Mississippi side will be able
to withstand the pressure of the great flood
The splendid equipment of the Mississippi Val-
ley railroad is contributing in a material degree
to the preservation of levees in the Yazoo delta
Nothing is being left undone by the railroad to
maintain the levees and prevent disaster
A special to the Appeal from Newport Ark
says Rivers commenced running over the
levee3 at 10 oclock last night and the whole
town except Front street is now four inches to
two feet under water Business is entirely sus-
pended The White and Black rivers com-
menced falling this afternoon and it is
hoped the worst is over The damage to
adjacent country is immense The oil
trough country containing 73000 acres
of cultivated land is now under water
from six inches to two feet The rise was sud-
den and without warning Fences and every
thing movable are gone The country south of
Newport which embraces some of the finest
farms in the state is also inundated The loss
in Newport is very heavy regardless of the loss
of business
A Helena special to the Appeal says The river
rose two inches during the last twentyfour
hours and is now four feet below high water-
mark Mr J B Miles an authority on river
matters says The present indications are
that the river will go to or over high water of
18S6 fortyeight feet one inch at this place
and will probably be at least one foot above that
at Friar s Point Miss
Belowtheold town the water will be but little
above 185 The Arkansas river is now more
than twenty inches higher than ever known and
the leeves on the Arkansas side will have to
give way when the fall reaches New Orleans
Many will suppose the danger is over but the
overflow into the Tensas swamp will
return at tlie mouth of the Red river
in two or three weeks and with the additional
water here will raise below Baton Rouge until
there are one or more crevasses The east side
of the river must be held until the west side
gives way
A government engineer who has just examined
the levees around Helena says they can stand
seven feet more of water without fear of being
overflowed

TENNESSEE COAL AND IKON
This Stock Attracts Consldorable Attention on
Wall Strpe Rumored Rupture in Con-
sequence of a Suit Denied
Special to the Gazette
New York March 14 Tennessee coal and-
iron stock attracted considerable attention this
morning by repeating some of its recent per-
formances It closed yesterday afternoon at
S c and shortly after the opening sold at 46c
Bubsequently recovering about 2 points The
street had it that the break was due to the rup-
ture of negotiations which it was announced
had terminated sometime ago in the settlement
of the companys Miit against John H Inman
in which a return of 2230000 on
account of a sale of Birmingham prop-
erty was demanded This however seems
to have been a wrong conclusion A reporter
called on Thomas C Piatt president of the
company this morning and asked him relative
to the rumor He 6aid there was no foundation
for the story and he believed the decline was
due entirely to speculative manipulation There
were certainly no developments concerning the
company which justified the decline He also
added that the reported negotiations for tho
consolidation of the Tennessee coal and iron
company the Southern iron company and the
Bardelleben coal and iron company were un-
founded
The reporter then called on John Inman and
he confirmed Mr Plates statement He
showed tha reporter an agreement entered in
the United States circuit court for the southern
district of New York between the Tennesee
coal and iron company and himself for the ter-
mination of a suit in which complainants say
they have satisfied themselves that the infor-
mation which was assumed and relied
upon by them was inaccurate and
that there is no liability by reason
of the matters stated in the complaint on the
part of defendant and his associates Mr
Inman added that the story that the agreement
had been violate was without truth and that
the utmost harmony prevailed among those in-
terested in the company He attributed the de-
cline of this morning to the selling out of the
holdings of some weak investors in the South
MKS TONY HART
A Celebrated Actress Passes Away in a New
York Hospital Fcones at the Deathbed
Special to the Gazette
New York MaTch 14 Mrs Tony Hart wife
of the once celebrated partner of Edward Harri
gan has passed away from the arena of life as
well as from that mimic stage whose office it is
to hold a mirror up to nature Mrs Hart whoso
stage name was Gertie Granville died in the
Rossevelt hospital last night at 8 oclock Sho
entered the institution six weeks ago suffering
from peritonitis in an advanced and dangerous
form last Monday her physicians decided
their patient must undergo an operation which
should be decisive one way or tho other
Chances were about evenly distributed Mrs
Hart was informed of the gravity of
the situation and bra7ely prepared to
meet the issue Summoning her brother and
a few friends to her bedside she bade them
conditional goodbye She sent for Father
Wyman of Paulist fathers and from him re-
ceived such spiritual consolation and encourage-
ment that she no longer feared death but
almost wished it Nor is this surprising for
during three years Gertie Granvilles
tribulation has been enough to break
the spirit of the strongest The opera-
tion was performed and Mrs Hart survived
it only to learn that all hope Of life was gone
Her fortitude became phenomenal According
to Dr G W Garnum the poor woman smiled
in spite of the most excruciating bodily torture
and thus smiling fell into a profound sleep from
which she never awakened
The most sorrowful witness of the death scene
was her brother Mr Mollahan of No 207 East
Fortyeighth street The dying woman did not
recognize him During her last moments Mrs
Hart murmured the name of her unfortunate
huBband His misfortune had lone preyed upon
her mind and she constantly felt that unjust
reflections had been cast upon her through
veiled intimation that she had been more of a
help than an injury to him
There is a supremely placid expression on
Mrs Harts dead face as if in death its owner
had caught some of that perfect felicity denied
her in life

Tho Feeling Ktill General That the Kaisers

Eesults Present from Edison
Churchills Position
Special to the Gazette
London March Li Tho indigna-
tion manifested toward Lord Ran-
dolph Churchill by the Tories generally
and his constituents particularly in-
consequence of his attaok upon the gov-
ernment has inspired the Liberals with
hope if not absolute confidence that
they will be able to oapture the seat for
South Paddington to which Lord Ran-
dolph was returned unopposed at the
last election In any event the Liberals
will contest the seat at the next election
and if the Tories put up a candidate to
oppose Churchill as they doubtless will
the chances of the Liberals winning the
seat will be excellent
LABOR CONFERENCE
Notwithstanding the compliments
which are being paid to Emperor William
by the press of all Europe upon the excel-
lence of the delegates chosen to sit in be-
half of Germany in tho labor conference
there is a general feeling that the confer-
ence will be barren of the results which
bis majesty expects and which the people
have been led to hope The prompt ac-
ceptance by France of the invitation to
participate in the conference was as
gratifying as it was unexpeoted but the
widespread and powerful opposition to
the governments action in accepting tho
invitation and designating representa-
tives which is being shown in the col-
umns of a majority of the French news-
papers oarries the conviction that the
relaxation of the tension between Franco
and Germany will not be one of the re-
sults of the deliberations of the congress
GENERAL STRIKE
By the action of tho miners federation
in resolving to inaugurate a general
strike owing to the indifferenoe of tho
masters to the demands of the men up
wards of 350000 men are affeoted
Many mine owners have become alarmed
at the prospect of a national strike and
have already granted the demands of
their employes but many others are still
firm in their refusal to make the conces-
sions asked It is probable however
that the determined attitude of the min-
ers throughout the country will induce
the obdurate masters to come to terms
or at least agree to a satisfactory com-
promise whereby a strike may be averted

available balance is now down to 27G0O592
No more can be asked of Mr Windom just now
by the most blatent of alarmists than a
continuation of his present course All In-
dications of a light money market have
disappeared from the horizon Money seems to
be plenty enough for present needs In view of
the demands on the treasury during the next
few weeks some temporary stringency of rates is
possible but the backbone of the money scare
seems to have been practically broken Still tho
longlooked for upward movement does not
come Yesterday mornings spnrt was more
discouraging to the advocates of higher prices
could not boom when it wanted to They claim
however that the boom came on them too sud-
denly and intimate that soon we shall see an
organized bull movement which will not flat out
after five minutes of life
Prices were strong in the early trading with
New England notably prominent at an advance
of 1 per cent Tennessee coal however was
very weak on the unearthing of stop orders and
lack of support opening at a decline of 2 per-
cent and a further drop of x percent was
quickly recorded Sugar trusts also developed
considerable weakness and declined lfc
The Vanderbilt stocks wero the features of tho
day New York Central and Lake Shore espe-
cially were extensively dealt In Both showed
material advances The Central has risen 2
points since day before yesterday There is such
a strong and increasing demand for Vanderbilts
for investment purposes that even a slicht in-
crease in buying orders serves to run the price
up very materially An interesting feature of
the demand for them is that this country appre
ciaies so highly the security of these st cks that
it is gradually absorbing them from Europe
When the Vanderbilts are strong the rest of
the list cannot long remain weak and prices
which had fallen after the opening stiffened
again Reading was notable in the advance
The excitement In speculative circles conse-
quent on the purchase of Burlington and
Northern by the Chicago Eurlington and
Quincy has begun to subside with reaction in
the leading stocks The benefits to be derived
are no doubt large in the future but these
recent rapid advances have to a certain extent
discounted them No doubt some large blocks
of stocks which had been carried for a long
period were marketed in the flurry while the
short ventures put out were of considerable
bulk
A SE1U0US WRECK
A Pflsseneer Train Strikes a Hnea Bonldcr
and la Hnrled from the Track One
Killed Several Injured
Newark Ohio March 14 This morning a
wreck occurred at Blackhand on the Central
Ohio division cf the Baltimore and Ohio One
man was killed outright and two were danger-
ously and five slightly injured A large rock
had rolled on the track two miles west of the
pointnamed The fast Chicago vestibule train duo
here at 1230 struck the rock which was half as
large as a passenger coach The train was in
charge of Engineer John Moore and Conductor
Raymond At the place where the accident oc-
curred there is a high hill on one side of tho
road and the river flows on the other The
train was making forty miles per hour when tho
engine struck the rock In an instant an
awful scene ensued The engine was dumped
completely around and thrown into the water
while the baggage mail smoker firstclass
coach and sleeper were all detached the trucks
being knocked out from under them
There were about one hundred pas-
sengers on board The accident was an
exceptionally fortunate one in its results con-
sidering tho speed of the train and weight of the
obstruction Only a few minutes before tho
accident a watchman passed the place and met
tho train and signalled all was clear
not knowing the heavy rain had loosened
an enormous boulder and it was even tumbling
down to the track Engineer John Moore no
doubt saw the boulder as he rounded the curve
but reversed his engine too late to be of any nse
except perhaps to weaken the crash
