An Important Decision--CoId weather
Poor Fellow Political Matters.
Special to the Gazette
WACO, TEX, Dec. ID strict Judge
Eugene Williams has delivered his opin.
ion in an important suit entitled "The
Waco Bridge Company VS.. the City oil
Waco The decision was made at late
hour yesterday evening, but as only a few
persons were In the courtroom the fact
was not generally known until to day.
Tne bridge company, claiming vested
rights by purchase, sought to restrain the
city from opening public highway to a
ford across the river at the foot OF Wash
inSton street, about block north of the
suspension bridge. The principal In.
volved has been litigated in the courts
here for years and had aroused great
deal OF feeling, generally unfavorable to
the bridge company. The decision OF tAe
court is adverse to the position of TIE
bridge company on every point.
The coolest weather since January of
last year has prevailed here. This
morning the mercury, out doors, regis

along shore on both banks of the Brazos,

Our Propo.,t,nn Aon.n,sh.

Our railroad committee received from
the Montague 4 Southwestern company
an answer to Bowels proposition TO fur
nish right OF way and grade from our
city to the terminus OF the Montague &
Southwestern grade. The answer asked
that In addition to the right OF way and
grade We build the culverts. This Is a
small consideration, as there are only
three on the line. A meeting was held
Thursday evening to conslAer matters
connected with he enterprise. At this
meeting two committees were appointed,
one to get estimates on right OF wav
and another to solicit subscrip.
lions. The sentiment of the meeting
was that we secure the road. While IL is
frankly conceded that road to Montague
would be little value to us, IL is also a
recognized fact that further extension
viii be made, and at no distant day. We
also have II from reliable authority that A
line from the Denver to- the Santa Fe Is
an ultimate certainty. We have no assur-
ance that the line win he built from Bowie,
but our location is an eligible one, and
with eleven miles of railroad lying Ia he
right direction we would command ad.
vantages aud inducements over any other
point. We say by all means let us secure
this road. -- Bowie Cross Timbers

GALVESTON, TEX, Dec. 5.-What is re.
garded here as an important test
In telephone Inventions was made
to-day aud proved great success.
The new Instrument is known
as the Bartlett helms te ep one.
being the invention Of S. L. Bartlett and
W. w. Minis, both young men and resi-.
dents Ji Houston. The test consisted in
talking over wire $50 miles
long, being the distance To New
Orleans aud return. The articulation
was far more distinct and perfect than
over the ord nary snort city circuits BY
the b II I, lrphone. Some dozen leading
clizens talked over to-days circuit Ali
agreed that they had never held a
more satisfactory conversation. The
new invention differs from
the Bell, Edison and other
telephones inasmuch as it combines
the eff cts 1 an induction coil and the
helix OF u hand phone, causing them to
act simultaneously ard In concert
with each other by winding the
coils in the same direction and
using carbon diaphragm with three car
bon contacts, enabling the use OF a large
amount OF battery. To-day's test was
made with three cells. For short dis.
lance no battery whatever Is required,
the automatic dynamo current being suffl.
cient to arliculate with great distinctness
and readiness The Invent, RS claim they
can talk from New York to San Francisco
with the same distinctness as to-day's
test. A caveat has been issued on the
new instrument, and the patent office is
now considering the application for a
patent.

months ago 1t was Tumored in railroad
circles OF Houston that important changes

Messrs. Easton, Dillingham; and Rlntout,
JOINT receivers; that the road will then
wind up Its accounts under the system
now In use by the Southern Pacific com
panyi further, that A Hutchison, general
manager OF the Atlantic system of the
Southern Pacific company, will resign
his position and j. G Schrlver,
traffic manager, be relieved, besides
number OF lesser officials Will also step
down aud out. Speculation IL rife as To-
who Will succeed Messrs. Hutchinson and
Schriver. One or two prominent rail.
roaders OF the city are mentioned
In connection with the office out
nothing reliable can be aecertalued.
Some railroad men when questione saw
they have not heard OF the matter, others
that changes are probable, but will not
occur as soon as anticipated.

ODD FELLOWS.
kETCHUM PEOPLE DID THEM.
SELVES PROUD LAST NIGHT.
A Nice Company, Fine Music, Grand
Ball, SumptuOus Feast and Home

Again.
After the day proceedings, men,
toned in yesterdays TIMES, had been
carried out, the throng of visitors to
the 9th Anniversary Ball, Alturas
Lodge, No. 10, l. .. o. F., amused
themselves by wandering over our
pretty sister town of ketchum and
enjoying the hospitality of her big
hearted citizens until the hour for the
evening exercises.
About 8 p. m. 'the ball opened"
with Delius's orchestra discoursing
the Grand March, beneath which
Fitzsimmons's large hall fairly trem-
bled in ecstacy.
The hall was Hastily and beautifully
decorated. .Emblems, flags, festoons,
and appropriate notices were scat
tered in tasty profusion about the
spacious walls, and every convenience
provided for the comfort of guests and
dancers. Sixtyfour couples occupied
the floor at a time. They were the
bold sons and bonnie daughters of
Shoshone, Bellevue, Haley and Ket-
chum, with a sprinkling of ruddy-
checked maidens from the country
roundabout.
The order was most creditable, the
music select, pleasure unalloyed, and
the good taste unmarried by even an
appearance of the disagreeable. The
gentlemen who had the management
crowned themselves with honor, and
Lodge No. 13 need never turn with
aught but pride to the ball feature OF
their anniversary.
But people who dance get tired,
and tired people get hungry. Aha!
There's where mine host 2. p. Bax-
ter captured the camp. With lavish
hand and practised eye, guided by a
taste for good thing, Baxter provid'
ed something of everything in the
edible line that could be found be
tween Portland and Omaha. Hi.
supper was a sumptuous spread. AL
enjoyed the turkeys, meats, fish
game, fancies and extras, as we'll as
the fringes and filings that "party
people" love to mince over. The
desert was elegant, and when eacl
one had Toasted, Baxter called thu
throng to gather up the fragments
and they filled more than the basket
told about in Scripture.
At about $3.50 the party adjourned
The guests stepped aboard the train
went whirling homeward, with happ,
hearts and pleasant memories of tn
hospitable reception the good peopl
up the river gave them.

lheres never a day SO sunny
But a little cloud appears:
There's never a life SO happy
But has had it's time of tears:
! ct the sun shines out the BRIGHTER
When the stormy tempest clears
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never a heart SO hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border,
10 ind the heforget-me-not.
There's never a cup SO pleasant
But has bitter With the sweet;
ll,ere'S never a pathssogrugge6 .y
That bears not the print OF feet,
And we have a helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know t will set at night
The tlnts that CLEAN in the morning
at eve are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
ls between the dark and light.
There's never Il dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There never dream OF SORROW
But the waking makes us Glad;
We shall look some day with wonde
AT the troubles We have had.
