RECORDS OF SPEED.

Relatively, the Performance of the Fort
Worth boys Is mt the Head.
The following from San old Fire Boy"
received day before yesterday, started our
reporter on the rounds among the fire
lads in search of an answer to the ques-
tion asked:
FoEr WORTH sept. /, 1885.
To the Editor of the Gazette
Would you grant me small space In
your columns to ask some of your fire
boys whether the record they claim of
200 feet IN one minute and nine seconds
includes laying hose and coupling. am
in knowledge of a fire company who went
400 feet, laid 500 feet of hose and
coupled in one minute and fifteen sec
onds, but then it was race between two
engines for bet, and the speed seemed
most miraculous. Hook and ladder No.
coming out victorious with the above
record. Yours truly,
AN OLD FIRE BOY.
A number of the Fort Worth depart
mcnt were questioned on the subject, and
the answer of each was, in substance, the
same. Undoubtedly, the record OF our
boys at the tournament at Lampasas Is
the best ever made in the state by yolun-
teer company. The following is a cor
rect statement of the performance at
LampaSas, furnished our reporter by an
officer Of the city fire department:
"Protection Hose company of Fort
Worth, at the Lampasas tournament, ran
1900 feet, laid 100 feet OF hose, uncoupled,
and coupled each section and threw water
in one minute aud nine seconds. During
this performance, ten seconds were lost
by conflict OF orders between officers OF
the company"
II ''An Old Fire Boy can bring up a
record that beats this, let him come on
with the papers The Fort Worth boys
not only laid the hose, but they uncouplcd
and coupled each section and threw
water, after losing ten seconds, In one
minute and nine seconds.

for which courtesy he Is indebted 10 the
affablc proprietor thereof, Mr.. II. l., Tur-
ncr, thau whom as n horscnian and livery
man, none In our community are better

This mammoth establishment occupies

ing from the number OF conyeyanccs that

believe that the business of this immense
establishment was commensurate with
Its dimensions,
Whilst making the undcrtakers bust
ness decided specially and carrying u
full line of these goods, he is at the same
time paying especial attention to the liy-
cry business and boasts the finest and

last but not least, the well-known thor
oughbrcd stallion Red Cnlcf, that has n
record as a four-milc horse. This bcnu-
tiful animal can be seen at the stables,
and Mr., Turner feeling Justly proud OF
him invites lovers of horsc-ncsh TO call
and sec him. Mr.. j. Booker. has Just
completed n beautiful representation In
oil of this animal, which now adorns the
office wall Of the stables. IL Is true TO
nature and represents the horse standing
upon the track of the Fort Worth Drly-
ing Park, showing the well-known Rose
dale pavilion In the distance through the
foliage of the trees. II Is Mr., Turner's
intention 10 have this painting photo

The Associated press correspondent at
Marshall sends out the following item
concerning the troubles now brewing be-
tween the citizens OF Marshall and the Of
ticials OF the Texas & Pacific railroad:
MARSHALL, TEN, Sept The eXecu-
tive committee appointed by the railroad
mass-mcetng on the 22d met yesterday
Their meeting was private. All
that has been made public is that
the following attorneys have been en-
ploycd to represent the town and
county, with view to legal action 10
compel the Texas & Pacific Railroad com
pany to move its headquarters, with all
the offices, back To Marshall, and take
such other steps as may be deemed neccS-
sary. They are james Turner, Maj
Stedman, Col Is. +. Sexton, Judge A. j.
Booty and j. 4 Pierce, Esq. Mr.. Tur-
ner has been the resident attorney OF
the Gould syndicate, but resigned.
1t is said that the syndicate has appointed
Mr.. Pendergust OF Austin, who Is now
here, To ill Mr.. Turner's place. This has
always been railroad town, and the
Gould syndicate and the Texas Pacific
company have no warmer friends IN
Texas than in Marshall. The citizens in
duge in the hope that matters may be ar
ranged without litigation, The Texas
Pacific railroad originated in Marshall.
1t was originally the southern Pacliic.
II struggled along with adverse
currents for several years supported
By our people, until at last it became a
national enterprise. Texas owes its great
success in railroad building to associated
capital, inauguratcd and carried out by
Gould and Huntington, whose beneilcient
policy has done more for the state than
all other men and agencies combined
Whatever may be said of them, they have
pushed forward TO completion the grand
est enterprise of the age, and Texas has
reason to regard them as public bene-
factors

four, very large man, started back to-
wards Main street. He had not reached
more than thirty feet when one of his
comrades called out;
"llero, Nlbs, take my carhine with

The man wheeled his horse, rode back,
secured the weapon and then went east ON
the square until he reached RuSk street,
into which he turned and disappeared
from sight The three men on horseback
remained in the same place for some
twenty minutes, conversing In low

After while one of the three rode In
the same direction taken 10y the man who

of Rusk he was met by the one who had
first rode away, and the two halted there
for several minutes.
Turning their horses they went TO
where their two companions were, and
rs they approached the first man who
left the crowd remarked;
