A STREET CAR WAR.
Lively Times at Fort Worth, Texas, b.
tween Two Rival Companies.


tween Two Rival Companies.
Since early yesterday morning, says a
Fort Worth (Texas) special, Aug. 20, the
greatest excitement has prevailed over a
war between the two rival street car lines
the Rosedale and the Fort Worth. Some
weeks ago the Rosedale was granted the
right OF way over Houston street, about a
mile long. The property owners enioined
the company from building. Saturday the
injunction was dissolved by Judge Hood.
The Fort Worth Company claims right of
way over the same street, and the
exclusive right over all other streets,
for ninety-nine years. This clause is
based on the charter granted in 1871 and
the ordinance passed by the Council in
1874. AT 3 O'Clock this morning Morgan
Jones, President of the Fort Worth Com
pany, with gang of thirty men, began
the work of tearing up the street and
laying tracks. When daylight came w.
j. Morphy, President of the ROsedale
Company, went before Recorder Field and
made complaint against Morgan Jones
and thirty men for obstructing the street,
when they were arrested and taken to the
city hall. Mr.. O'Neil and forty other men
at once went to work building the road,
when Morphy had them arrested and
taken to the city hall. The Council had
preparing papers and bonds, while seventy
men, with picks and shOYels, crowded
the hall and stairway. Maj. X. M. Van
Zandt bailed the workmen, and, under
the personal supervision of Morgan
Jones, they returned to work. Morphy at
once organized a force of~120 men, bought
picks and shOvels, and went to work on
the upper end of the street. Jones' force
was soon increased to 100 men, and by
noon 800 feet of track was laid. The
Council employed j. Y. HOgsett to advise
them in the matter, who thought the
Council could legislate but could not ad-
Indicate the difference between the COM
panies. Last night A NJ. Carter and an
attorney for the ROsedale went tolWeath-
erfOrd for their respective clients to get
injunctions from Judge Hood. At II
O'Clock 800 men were at work, and Hous-
ton street was lined with people witness
ing the remarkable fight. At II O'Clock
to-day street cars were running, and the
remarkable sight seen Of a mile Of road
built entire in day.

A Novel Experiment.


Avery novel scheme for establishing
. permanent channel in the Mississippi
river was presented to congress this
week in the shape Of a petition by the
inventor, NJ. II. Adams, who asks for an
appropriation to enable him to bring his
experiment to q successful termination.
He says he has completed 5000 feet of
what is known as fume at q cost of
$500. It is described as perforated
tube. about twelve inches in diameter,
shaped like the letter v. divided into
two chambers, upper and lower, by
partition. The upper holds the water
under the necessary pressure the entire
length of the tube; the lower lies quies.
cent until the operations commence. The
water from tho upper chamber is let
through the opening in the partition
into the lower chamber, and through
the jet starting up, the sand holding it
in suspense until the current carries it
off to some low place. where it forms
banks like q canal. The number of Jets
operating at time is covered by the
pressure. Where there is an obstruction
it is opened on it like battery. Nc
sand, gravel or moderate hard pan can
stand near it. To lay it in one unbroken
line in the center of the river from the
head to the gulf it will scour channel
the necessary depth and width through.
out. and keep it open all through. To
give the invention an undeniable test
would require about three miles. which
can be procured from st. Paul down, il
being almost checked in summer. The
result of the test will give q permanent
channel the distance laid, affording Z
valuable and permanent improvement at
one-fourth the ordinary cost"

HARRIsos's BILL.
The Enactment by which 1t is Proposed I
Create the State of Dakota.

Tho Enactment by which It is Proposed to
Create the State of Dakota.
Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Harri.
son will tomorrow report from the sen.
ate committee on territories, his bill pro-
viding for the admission of southern
Dakota, and for the territorial organiza.
tion of the northern portion of the terri.
tory. No name has been agreed upon
for the new territory. Senator Beck
wants it named Garfield. Only one dlvi.
sion in the United States has been named
after prominent American citizen, and
that is Warrington territory. The re.
publicans think that Lincoln ought to be
honored before Garfield. The Harrison
bill to be reported is the same, with very
little modification, as the ono
introduced. It provides for the
ratification Of the constitution
and the state government which the peo.
pie OF Dakota have formed for them
selves and admits the state OF Dakota in.
to the union upon an equal footing with
the original states. The governor and
secretary of state, chief justice, United
States attorney. and the president Of the
constitutional convention, or majority
Of them, are authorized to issue procla.
nation calling for an election for the rati.
fication or rejection of the constitution
and for officers aud members of the leg
islative assembly and house Of represen.
tatives Of the United States, to be held
on some day between the fifteenth day
OF November, 1854, aud the first day Of
February, 1886. It grants to the state
sections 16 and Sc in every town
ship for school purposes; /;
City sections to be located
BY the legislature, with the approval of
the president, for the purpose OF erect
ing public buildings at the capital; 90

With good reason the newspaper, of
the north are uttering complaints over
the inadequate court facilities afforded
the counties Of that section. The north
half OF Dakota has but one Judge, while
the south half has three and there are
none too many in the south. About
three fifths Of the population of Dakota
lies south of the 46th parallel. and two.
afths north Of that line. If the north
was even ss we'll treated % the south in
the way of judicial allowance it would
be given two Judges and two Judicial
districts. Judge Hudson. whose range
extends over seventy-five thousand
square miles Of country. finds it impos.
sible to begin to meet the demands OF
his district, though he labors sixteen
hours out Of every twenty.four. The
bench and the bar Of the fourth district
are asking for relief and they are enti.
tied to it.

The democratic residents of the terri
tories have gained point and they are
disposed to be jubilant over it. They
have received instructions from their ma.
tional committee to send delegates to
their presidential convention with the
promise that their claims will be consid-
cred in the convention and the probabil.
ity that they will be granted admission
to the convention on an equal footing
with the delegates from the states. Thil
is the first time the democratic residents
OF the territories have been thus encour
aged.

Those newspapers which "are unit"
in condemning Dakota's delegate for re-.
fusing to introduce tho Ordway admis.
sion.ss.whole bill still continne to be
heard sfrom. The following sample il
from the Huron Times:
The Bismarck Tribune is inclined to
abuse Delegate Raymond because he re-.
fused to introduce the bill by means Of
which the Bismarck lobby hoped to
secure admission - Q whole. Mr.. Ray
mond did not favor the measure, as he
takes the side of the people on this
question, and he owed it to himself not
to do any act which would place him in
false position. It is true,t that members
OF congress do not favor all bills which
they introduce, but without evidence to
the contrary it would have been taken
for granted that Mr.. Raymond support.
ed the billin question had he introduced
it. To rid the people OF Dakota of that
impression would have required . need.
less waste Of time which can be better
employed in worthy labor for his con.
stituents.
