PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS FOR THE
BUILDING or a GREAT RAILROAD.
1t is not The way of Fort Worth men to
relapse into lethargy in the moment of
triumph, but to clinch things by following
up the ticks that brought them there. So
the men whose energy and public spirit
were the prime factors in accomplishing
a great undertaking have set themselves
actively to the task before them sub
committee, consisting Of Messrs. w. a.
Huffman and X. NJ. YanZandt, having
been authorized to select suitable agent
to look after the subscriptions given 10
secure the road, have employed Mr.James
w. Swayne, the well-known attorney, 10
attend to this work, by getting up the
notes OF subscribers A more suitable
man could not have been chosen, and Mr..
Swayne will give the work his close AZ
tention. He will be found at his ONCE
over the First National bank every morn
ing from II to y O'Clock, and subscribers
are requested to call upon him there IN
connection with this business.
A committee consisting OF Messrs: W.

BURGLARS AGAIN FAIL IN THEIR EFFORTS
TO SECURE SOME CASH.
The occurrence OF another burglary is
reported. This time it was the retail
grocery establishment of Jessie Jones,
south side of the square, opposite the
courthouse. An entrance was effected
by boring hole through the front door
and prying off the fastening. 1t was done
under the bright glare of the electric
light that hangs suspended at the head OF
Main street. As that part OF the city is
usually deserted in the small hours, there
wasn't great amount of risk in the oper-
alton. When the employees entered the
store yesterday morning the tumbled up
appearance OF various articles sug-
gested O look at the sale.
a couple Of holes had been drilled In II
near the combination lock, and plonti-
full sprinkling of powder beneath showed
that futile efforts had been made to blow
the safe open. About one hundred cigars,
some tobacco and small amount OF
change left in the money drawer was
taken. This is the second time within a
recent period that Mr.. Jones' store has
been robbed by these unwelcome gentry
Their presence in the city should put
business men on their guard and cause
the police to keep sharp lookout. From
the bungliDg way in which they operate
the rascals are most likely amateurs,
whom it ought to be no difficult job tc
corral and pass on to Huntsville.

WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES.

FORT woRTu's OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME
A GREAT MANUFACTURING AS WELL AS !
RAILROAD CENTER.
Said one Of Fort Worth's solid citizens
to q GAZETTE man yesterday al think
that the general citation and enthusiasm
of our citizens over the splendid outlook
that the possession of another great
trunk line of railway seems TO guarantee,
is not misplaced, or built on a founda
ton Of sand. Never did u town have
such an suspicious prospect for future
greatness. But there are other things
besides railroads necessary. We must
have something here for the people TO do
The building Of additional lines Of railway
| will of course bring to our city large
numbers Of people. That's all right.
Let them come; we want them and will
we come them, but do not desire them
here as idlers and loaters. There must
be some means of giving them employ
meut, some avenues OF occupation
opened up that mt present are wanting
The running of the next line through the
Territory will OF course bring down the
price OF coal, which the immense beds OF
that matchless region contain in mex
hausdble quantities, That is good. IL has
I often been alluded to ae one of the great
advantages we will derive from com
