At about 5 o'clock the Dallas hre depart
ment bows invited their Fort Worth bretn-
ran to some of the good things of this life
awaiting them in the city hall. Here a
rovai time was had. Speeches were made
hv Mayor Cabell, Major Elliott and others.
Toasts we're proposed and heartily drank,
and il thus appeared that though the
waters of tie Trinity might divide
Dallasites and Fort WORTHLESS phisicaHy,
vet destructive fire could Wel9 thell
hearts torether. Pledges were made that
# ever the fire bells of Fort Worth should
sound the dread alarm of destruction the
hearts of the Dallas boys would beat in
nuick unison with the iron tongue, eager to
1rnsh to the rescue. 1t was a traternai ana
happy meeting. truly. .
The fire, although really under conlplete
control by 1870 o'clock in the afternoon I,
continued to burn freely IN the cottoh oales
until dark. The steamers continued 10
play on the smoking bales, and upon the
great heap of charred and steam
mo Grain which marked the
Size of the elevator, until after dark; by
that time the flames had almost dlsap
peared. During the entire afternoon; lhe
scene of the fire was crowded with Gems
| throns of the curious, many OF tne visi.u q
being ladies. One steamer remained
thars last night to throw
v wster on the ruins, and
avoid avoid the possibility of the fire again
hreaking out, as it might possibly do in the
event OF a strong breeze springing up.
