General Local News,

FORT WORTH, Oct. q Special. The
,nials Of the milkmen were continued to-
day and ali but one fined for violation
of the ordinance. The reliability of the
1actometer here in Fort Worth depends
altogether upon the lawyer the defend
ant has. 1t good attorney the lactome-
ter n anything but q test, il is broken
reed, false indicator, a slanderer of
honest milk; but if the attorney be not
80 good, the lactOmeter hobs NJ
serenely and registers precisely correct.
After the men we're fined the City At
torney and Recorder recommended the
fines be RENTED because Ferris had
been acquitted on the same testimony
'cOnVicting the Others. The poor little
'innocents who have gone to their graves
crying for milk, while the dealer was
dishing out stagnant water instead, are
not to be considered; people who pay
big round nickel for a quart of stun,
are not to be considered, but each fraud
is to stand feet UPTON n lactomcter and
continue to kill aud grow rich.
There is loud complaint from the
Third and Fourth wards at disCrimina-
ton against that portion of the city and
evidences of unhealthy jealousy against
"up-town." Up to the present time our
citizens have pulled together regardless
Of ward boundaries, but at last self-in-
terest has. made breach, and
SO the beginning Of dissension
which will damage the whole city
has set in. While unit
in all good works Our city was head and
shoulders above all competition, but let
the spirit of 1--WE are not tOted fair with"
flourish, and down goes our supremacy
The counterfeiters are ont ON bail. In
this connection the Mail says the mon
will be tried in our County court, but
"iOr once" Nose Harris is OF; the State
courts have no jurisdiction in cases of
this kind, so the men will be taken to
Dallas to be tried by United States
court of competent jurisdiction.
There is weeping, wdiiing and gnash
ing of teeth because 800 bales of cotton
from Decatur, which should have been
marketed here, was hauled to Denton
by wagon and went 10 Dallas by rail.
Ii is stated, with considerable indication
of truth, that the railroads have come
to the assistance Of Dallas in her UNEQUAL
contest with the giant merchants OF
Fort Worth, and given rates to Dallas
for less than those of our city. We never
kick In Fort Worth, but we may have tC
build new railroad TO teach the TeXa,
Il Pacific a lesson IN equity.
Hon. +. Il. Lubbock is expected To al.
dress the young Democracy of our city
some day this week.
An excursion train, bearing wealthy
Tennesseans and Louisianians, will ar.
rive in Fort Worth tomorrow.
