FORT WORTH, October 27.-The
meeting held at the Courthouse last
evening was the most enthusiastic as
sembly of the representative men of
the city and county ever held in the
"City of Heights" and its proceedings
of such character as must restore
confidence and infuse new life and
vigor into the doubling Thomas of the
town and county. The Tarrant County
Construction Company was formally
organized under the general incor-
poration act, board of directors
elected, with X. NJ. Van Nandt as
President, books of su description to the
capital stock opened, and nearly thirty
thousand dollars subscribed by the cit
liens of the town. Subscription books
will be at once circulated through the
county with every hope that an
amount sufficient to commence work
at an early day will be readily sub
scribed. The determination of the
company is to grade the road from
here to Eagle Ford as speedily as poss-
ible, aud the indications promise that
it will be fairly under way within
thirty days. Everybody is confident
and jubilant. ELsER,

ArcHlsoN, Ks, October 27.--A sad
calamity occurred at Irving, on the
Central Branch Of the Union Pacific
Railway, ninety miles west of this city.
on Saturday last. A young man named
William Mack, descended into well
and was overcome by foul air. Another
young man, named w. w. Richardson
had d rope fastened about him and de-
scended TO the rescue. He fastened a
rope around Mack and called out that
he was still alive. In moment he
called again to pull him up, as he was
falnting also. This the parties above
attempted to do, aud he was hauled up
about ten feet, when, by some means,
the rope slipped from his body aud he
fell to the bottom. Others went to the
rescue as soon as possible, but both
Mack and Richardson were dead before
their bodies could be brought up. They
had lived in Irving only q few months.

THE VIRGINIA CITY DISASTER.
Ten Thousand Persons without Shelter
In q Piercing Wind
Details OF the Origin, Cause and Extent
OF the Fire

VIRGINIA CITY, New, October d.
A fire broke out about daylight, in
a dwelling on street, near Taylor, a
point in the southwest limit and
thickly settled portion. The firespread
rapidly eastward towards the ravine,
IN which are forks, mills and several
mines, and reaching as far as +. street.
The flames crossed Union and Sutton
streets, covering about ten blocks. AS
the fire worked up the street, the
offices of theTerrit0rial Enterprise and
Chronicle were destroyed. Pipers
Opera House was next in flames, and
it became evident that the railroad
depot was In danger.
The water supply was inadequate,
and engines We're of little use. Re-
course to the blowing up of buildings
was too late. The fire continuins
north and east partly, the mill of Cali
fornia and Consolidated Virginia were
soon in flames, which spread still
farther north to the Ophir hosting
works and destroying them, the limit
of destruction in that direction, fire
diving out for want of fuel. From lay
lor street, near which the fire origina-
ted, it spread south agains the wind,
DESTROYING the branC pe oD.ee of the
Bank of California, WP- ), Fargo ~
Co.'S. express office, anu everything
else in its line. At this point Gould O.
Curry's works were in danger, but
were fortunately saved.
In short nearly the entire business
portion of the town is in ashes. Hotels,
churches, county buildings, newspaper,
telegraph and express offices are all
swept away, and over ten thousand
persons made homeless. The wind Is
piercing, and much suffering is antici-
pated before shelter can be procured.
1t is impossible to conjecture the
amount of loss.
Fortunately the shafts OF both the
Ophir and Consolidated Virginia were
bulk headed, and the fire was Kept out
OF the mines. The Ophir men say That
possibly their loss may be less than at
first supposed, as the building was OF
light frame, and may have burned
without injuring the machinery.
The loss In the city must be great.
It Is not known to what extent the
mills and hosting works were insured,
except in the case of the Ophir, where
the loss Is placed ut from one hundred
to two hundred thousand dollars. In
surance 100000. - m
