and Business Men.
The rapidlty Of Fort worth's growth
Ia, never been equaled in the West by
any city that has lived TO reach
twenty thousand inhabitants Itsgrowih
So far has simply been unprecedented.
Ten years ago Fort Worth had less than
700 inhabitants, but In three years from
that time II had as many thousands, and
the last census taken ten months ago
showed population OF 28.2lS, which has
since increased to nearly or quite $4,000.
Sales of merchandise ia THIS city last
year amounted to more than ten aud
u half million dollars, and the city Is yet
in Its infancy. Fort Worth will, IN Il
short time, become the gmndest railroad
center in Texas. Situated at the crossing
oi the two main trunk lines of the state
it is also the terminus Of the Gulf, Colo
RADIO & Santa Iie from Galveston, and the
Fort Worth & Denver running one hum
bred and forty miles into the Panhandle
Of Northwest Texas. Work will soon
begin on the Fort Worth & New orleans
road, the completion OF which will
give us an outlet TO the South
east, and before many moons have waXcd
and waned dirt will be thrown on the
Fort Worth s Brentwood to the South
west, Fort Worth is not the pampcred
heir of natural advantages, but the lcgit-
innate result of the cntcrprislng libcrUlity
and determined pluck Of the people.
In this connection II would not be in
appropriate TO mention Il few of the bust
ness institutions that are part and parcel
of the city, and the busiGcss men who
have contributed to its past and present
success and whose names are guarantee
of lis future prosperity For want of
space we can give but few, and these we
offer as specimens only. Others are
equally worthy of special mention for all
work as one man when the interests Of

SOUND AT THE CORE.

Overproduction and Improbable Investment
the Cause of Hard Times.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The Sun has nota-
BILE editorial under the caption: What
makes the bad timess in reply to CORES
pondent who attributes the depression to the
withdrawal of national bank notes from cir
culation. The Sun shows that money was
never so cheap as now, and that as the de-
preston extends throughout Europe as well
as the United States it cannot be attributed
to gold standard or tariff laws nor to any
thing in the condition of our shipping and
ocean transportation, for it exists in England
where there is an unprecedented extension
of the merchant marine.
JUST AS SEVERELY,
or even more so, than in this country where
the merchant marine has been gradually de-
clining. Nor is it caused by failure of crops,
nor by wars or famines in any part of the
world. The crops have generally been good
for several years and no wars or famines of
any account have existed, yet we may say in
general way the depression is the
RESULT OF OVER PRODUCTION,
that is to say, of spending money and labor
in ways that are not profitable and that give
no return. The Sun concludes: 'sYet
while this great collapse is indisputable and
irresistible, we may well be con-
tented over the fact that it is not
so destructive as it might be and
that business is quite as good and the situa-
ton of the country quite as encouraging as
we ought to expect. There are many workers
out OF employment and hardly any enter
prise is
MAKING MUCH MONEY,
yet most people are getting enough to eat
and to wear and places to live economically
and comfortably. The country is rich aud
sound at the core, and when all the inflated
and delusive concerns are settled up and
cleared away we shall find that we are great
deal better off than the philosophers of ca
lamity and despair have imagined.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, April 6.-Reports from
the lower Chippewa are to the effect that
Beef Slough is entirely clear of ice and the
corporation has a large number of men at
work fixing UP small tow-boats, repairing
booms and placing the affairs generally
in substantial condition to commence
active operations as soon as the
weather will allow. A considerable impedi-
ment to the profitable handling Of logs to
outside loggers on Chippewa which has ex
listed for years, has been removed. The
Beef Slough company, wealthy corporation
that handle from 400,000,0 900 to 500, 600, 600
feet OF logs annually, had formed pool,
and after the fashion of all other monopolies
that exist in the northwestern numbering
districts was inclined to discourage outsiders
by extravagant foliage for the landing of
their logs. A bill was introduced into the
legislature to regulate tolls, boomage, etc.,
which had the effect of giving the lumber
men outside of the ''rins'' rate that was
satisfactory and brought the poolers to time
and an understanding. The following is a
report of the manufacture of log production
on the Eau Claire river and tributaries for
the season of 1884, as compiled by the

Ten Miners Entombed Aliye.


SHENANDOAH, Pa. April 6.-This afternoon
one of the gangways of the Coyler colliery at
Raven Run, operated by S. NJ. Heater & Co.,
caved in without warming, entombing ten
miners. The cave was caused by sudden
crushing of the timbers. The names of the
ten entombed are: Frank McLaugh-
lin, William Anderson, John Ander-
son, Henry Mervine, Benjamin Mauer,
Nicholas Percell, Barney Smith, Michael
The entombed men all have families and the

mine a complete wreck and all hopes of re-
covering the imprisoned miners alive has
been abandoned. The slope is 700 feet deep
and is divided into four levels. The
TEN MEN NOW IN THE MINE
were in the lower lift, and the place is closed
to the bottom of the first lift, 400 feet above.
There were three openings to the mine, an
air and two slopes, and ali three are closed
before the first lift. The dangerous condi-
ton of the mine not only prevents the
rescuing party from doing any work
but forbids even a thorough examinati of
thes work. The
CONCLUSION CAUSED BY THE FALL
was so great that the mine cars at the foot of
the first lift were forced up the slope forty
feet. Miners acquainted with the workings
declare it doubtful wetther even the bodies
of the men entombed can be recovered. The
colliery employed from $50 to 200 men. II
fortunately was not in operation to-day or all
the men would have been lost.

A ROLLER RINK MASHER.
After Promising to Marry a Number of Fair

Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-Charles Brown,
an instructor and manager at the Star skat-
ing rink at Friendship hall, who has proved
great source of attraction for the fair sex
of Kensington, left the city early last week,
or at least mysteriously disappeared, leav-
ing several lovely maidens whom he
had promised to marry, and also number
of business men with whom he had dealings.
to mourn his loss. Brown came to this city
early in the present year and secured the
employment shortly afterwards at the rink,
which was just being fitted out by Mr.. Geister
of Columbia avenue and others. Mr.. Geister
was taken sick before the rink was opened
and the entire responsibility fell upon
Brown, who used his charge to his best adj
vantage. He fitted out house on Orianna
atreet and has been living there with one of
his female victims, who until recently knew
nothing of his other matrimonial adventures.
She states that she learned he had prom
ised to marry three other girls. One of them
had gone so far as to order her trosseau and
lot of household materials. The
woman with whom he had lived
is snugly fixed in the house and does not re-
gret his disappearance, as some of the others
do. 1t is also claimed that he has wife in
Boston. Before departing the skillful skater
borrowed several small sums of money from

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Washington

have been perfected for holding conference
of the Illinois Democrats at Springfield
within few days for the purpose of inducing
Representative W. r. Morrison to withdraw
from the senatorial race against Gen. John
y. Logan, and placing man before the con-
vention who is believed to possess more

Must the Dear Girls Go?

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-There is little
flutter among the woman clerks in at least
one of the department bureaus here over the
possibility of removals. Dan McConville of
Ohio, the new sixth auditor of the treasury,
has said since his arrival that he is not be-
lever in women in Office, and that he will
not favor the appointment of any of the
gentler sex to positions in his department
Whether this theory is to obtain in the
departments generally is not known,
but it has caused something of
a iutter among the fair ones in the bureau
over which McConville is to preside. McCon-
vile, it will be remembered, is the private
secretary to Gov. Hoadly of Ohio, and in
this connection it is of interest to remark
that while other governors of this great state
of Ohio have usually employed one or more
ladies as clerks in their offices, no female
form divine has been observed employed in
any capacity save that of ''scrub woman" in
the capitol building of Ohio since Gov.
Hoadly's elevation to the highest place on
that official roost.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-President Cleve-

vet he certainly has not formulated any
plans which look to along absence from the
CITY, His movements will be guided by tne
necessities of public business, and as YET ne
has no idea when he can conveniently take
g little rest. The Western Democrats have
planned little trip for him to Chicago and
other points in the West, to be taken probably
in June, and he received an invitation TO
visit Atlanta in May. While not averse to
either of the proposed trips, the president
informs those who rendered him invitations
that he
COULD NOT POSSIBLY ACCEPT
them at present, as he did not know whether
official duty would permit of his absence.
During a great portion of the summer there
is no business to be transacted by the execu-
tive that cannot be attended to in any
other place as well as at the
White house, so long as it is
within telegraphic communication. Real
izing this fact President Cleveland will natur-
ally escape from the heat of midsummer, but
has given no thought as to when and where
he Will 90. BY way OF Fortress Monroe,
where ex-President Arthur now is, comes

mand and how much is on hand to pay with.
We believe the public, when it has become
accustomed to the new form, will see
that it is very great improvement
and will not willingly return to the
old form. 1t is the greatest merit of state
ment of accounts that it shall tell the truth,
the whole truth, as plainly and clearly as
possible, and nothing but the truth. 1t ia
the conspicuous merit of Secretary Manning's
statement that it does this better than the
form previously used. Just now when, ac-
cording to Mr. Sherman, Mr.. McCulloch and
other authorities on finance, we are threat
ened with dangerous silver crisis, it is of
especial importance that the monthly
treasury statements shall be so rendered that
every one who wishes may easily see for him
self precisely where the treasury and the
country stands.''
