Whose RAhe /,

Yesterday morning about sunrise
some parties passing along an I'M
frequented street in the northeastern
part Of the city found q newborn girl
babe upon the sidewalk. 1t had orig
inally been In a starch box, but COW
lied to a fence near by had, in passing,
upset the box with the rope and
thrown the corpse out upon the ground.
The infant was wrapped aboat the
body with woman's flannel shirt,
while over its head and shoulders n
towel was wrapped.
The authorities were at orce mott.
fed aud a Jury impaneled, which,
after calling upon Or. Broiles to make
an examination and otherwise looking
into the case, adjourned till b
O'Clock, when nothing new having de.
veloped they adjourned until to-day.
Thejury have given the subject their
closest attention and nothing will be
left undone by the authorities to ferret
out this crime, il such it was.
The corpse was taken to the
undertaking establishment OF II. L..
Turner when it was again thoroughly
examined and late in the afternoon 1t
WAS buried.
From the circumstances surrounding
the case, the corpse must have been
left In this out-oi.the-way place day
or two previous to its discovery, for it
was very black from having lain 80
long in the sun, and considerably de-
composed by having been dead so
long.
The point where the corpse was first
discovered Is about l25 yards north
and little east of the terminus OF the
Belt street car line.
As stated above, the officers are very
diligently AZ work upon the case, but
as yet have no clew as to the guilty
parties,

West Texas Narrow Gauge railway.
with a view OF increasing the gauge to
standard and making OF the road q
feeder TO the main line. In an inter-
view with Col. Gresham, general
attorney Of the santa Fe railroad.
Col. Gresham confirms the report to
the extent of stating that negotiations
looking to the purchase are being con.
sidered by the contracting parties,
aud that a result will be reached in q
few days. The importance of this con-
nection TO Galveston and the santa
Fe company In opening up
an outlet to the east
can scarcely be overestimated. The
road is now completed and In running

TO OUR MERCHANTS.
The Condition Of the Graubury Road,
and the Effect on Our
Trade.
Prompt Action Necessary to Remedy
the Evil and Preserve
Rich Traffic.

THE GAZETTE maze the acquaint-
ance yesterday of Mr.. Henry Evans
of Granbury. Mr.. Evans informed
The GAZETTE that the wretched, not
tosay impossible, condition of the roads
between this place and Granbury had
driven every freighter away from
Fort Worth and to Cleourne, except
himself; that the merchants OF Gran
bury, as well rs the freighters, pre-
ferred Fort Worth, but that they could
not afford to come to town 30 appsr-
emily indifferent TO its own interests.
Mr.. Evans cites number Of Granbury
merchants who have resolved 10 do
all their shipping hereafter to and
from Cleburne, among whom were
such men as IL. A. Hannaford, j.
Jones and others. One Granbury
firm recently sent 1000 bushels OF
wheat to Cleburne that, but for the
shameful condition of the roads in the
Tarrant county part Of the road, espe-
cially that within five miles of this
city, would have sought market at
Fort Worth. MIR. Evans further In
formed THE GAZETTE that the three
worse places on the road from here to
Granbury were within five miles OF
the city; that one OF these "mud-holesn
was only two miles from Fort Worth;
another was within three miles and
the third within five miles; that on
his way into town yesterday morning
he helped man who had two horses
aud only 1900 pounds to pull out OF
one OF these holes, and that he himself
was compelled to reduce his loai from
2500 to 1900 pounds simply because he
could not pull through the three holes
mentioned rs being within five miles
of this city. On the road from Gle.
burne to Graubury the streams and
gullies are all brldged, and the conse-
quence is that trade Is directed from
Fort Worth which would prefer to
seek this market.
The GAZETTE gives publicity to,the
statement of Mr.. Evans In the hope
that II may arouse our merchants TO
action in the matter. Granbury wants
to trade with Fort Worth that trade
will tend to enrich this city and coun-
ty, but If our people do not care enough
for this trade to provide n way for II
to reach them, they have no one but
themselves to blame for Its diver len
to other points.
