JEFFERSON, TEX Jan. 80 Yesterday
evening Cherry Browning, Allie HubSnk,
Mile Charley and two ether women from
Marshall, took sick very suddenly. They
had not long eaten dinner, and attributed
their sickness to something they had eaten.
a doctor was summoned Immediately,
and soon made the discovery that they had
been poisoned. He did all thst he could
for them, and after several hours they
were doing well. Upon investigation it
was sscertained that they had eaten
trough on rats" in quite mysterious
way. They had turnips for dinner, having
bought them from Mr.. James Brighton, q
dealer in vegetables. 1t wSs discovered
that the turnips had been pricked all
over apparently with nail and thes trough
oni rats secreted in the holes. These
parties are sll colored and it IS G mystery
as to who fixed the poison and for whom
it was intended. Mr.. Brighton is highly
respected gentleman and no motive can
be attri0utedlto him for such gu act. The
opinion prevails that some other person
fixed 1t up bent on destruction. All the
parties are doing well at this writing.
Edward Jones was arrested Yesterday
for burglsriZiDg house and stealing
clothing and other things. Before Justice
Walker this afternoon he waived exemi-

- THE BRIDGE QUESTION
Two Letters in Regard to tho Measure Now
Being Discussed.
GIVE Us MORE LIGHT.


GIVE Us MORE LIGHT.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Much has been said snd written upon
the vexad bridge question. "Glittering
generaiities" have been INDUCED in, such
as "build up the city" and others,ot like
character; but the Importance of the sub
iect demands that it should be discussed
in business like way. The questions
arising are:
l. What will be the cost Of this enter
prise to the city? The general under
standing is that it will not exceed $4,000,
(0ne-third Of the cost of the bridge bat
what will be the cost of the right OF wsy
from Houston and Rusk streets to the
approach of the bridge; and what will be
the cost Of excavating the bluff; end
above all, who will foot the bill for these
expenditures, are material points that
seem to be overlooked. Again,
Alderman Hsymsker is of the
opinion that a bridge built
upon the contemplated plan will be insult
ficient for future need. Now would it not
be well to understand the exact nature of
the changes that future necessities may
require, snd something about the cost of
these changes, and upon whom these
charges will fall? Is it not possible that
Hike government appropriations for public
mprovements-the first appropriation is
but the ''entering wedge"-snd that after
Fort Worth has accepted the "free gift"
it may dawn upon her that she has gen
uine elephant on her hands, and that
"ward meetings" will again become
clsmorou5 for the necessary changes, all
at the expense Of the city?
.. It IS stated that the North Fort
Worth Company owns about 1900
acres of land on the North Side. con-
siderable portion of which has been
plA t iLt0 town lots. 1t is admit
ted by all that it Is peculiarly to their
advantage that this bridge should be
built. They are fairly entitled to Whist
ever can be made out Of their investment,
and no argument against the bridge
should be based on this fact. But il order
to prevent future sntsgonisms, and in
view of the great benefits to be derived
by their corporation, in presenting their
petition for aid would it not be graceful
sEd proper thing for them to accompany
their request with an expression of this
kind: "You are our mother city; you
have brought Us into existence; without
your nourishment we could not survive
you have incurred large expenses in
rearing US, and We are now calling upon
| you for help; you are heavily involved,
and will need the aid of your brawny sons,

aid of your beautiful daughter, Sylvanis

PARIS, TN, Jan. 3O.-Dr. Leo Hsrri-

nent physician of this city, has lately
become demented through the excessive
use Of strong drink caused by the
habitual use of opiates contracted during

Captain c. W. McGehee, q well-known
horse and mule dealer of Weatherford,
was in Fort Worth last evening. He says
last week he sent 3 carload of horses TO
Illinois and he expects great deal OF the
trade in those animals in Texas this year
will come from that section, though the
business done will not be of SO great vol
ume as it WAS last year.
Captain McGehee says cattle in Parker

stock in North Texas SO far as he
has learned axe doing first rate, notwith-
standing rumors of contrary nsture
which have been in circulation lately.

otherwise would be invested in the city

5. It is also matter of importance
| thst the Commissioners court, acting for
the farmers Of the country, should stipu-
late in their gift to the enterprise, that no
dummy engine should ever be used upon
this bridge, otherwise there soon will
arise ia great public necessity for smother
bridge" Farmer Jones with his wagon
drawn by pair of young mules, or
Farmer Smith, riding "bucking"
mustang, meeting dummy" about the
center of the bridge would fad his stten-
ton deeply engrOsged for the time. IL
fact mule of mature years, OF the most
circumspect walk in life, is liable, under
such circumstances, to create lively diver
sion. It is probsble hOrsecSr would have
the effect TO crive off alI travel, snd to
bring the dangerous old bridge" again
into use.
4. The talk that the bridge is & pubic
necessity rs an assertion very general in
it's nature. When did this necessity
arise? How did it arise? And is it OF
general or Of 8 local nature? Less thsn
one yesr ago this necessity had not been
discovered. There were then, and now
are, six good, substantial bridges epsn-
ming the Trinity at and near Fort Worth,
at convenient distances north, east and
west. Since then the population Of
the county and city has not materially in
creased. But some srgue that the st,
LOUIS, Arkansas and Texas Railroad
Company need the bridge, and that they
had assurances" inst 1t would be built,
before consentiug to the present location
OF their depots. We shall not stop to in
quire what, if any psrsOn or persons,
demonstrated to the S.. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas Company the advantages of
their present locality; whether the loCs-
ton was made with view to the public
convenience and il accordance with the
wishes of the people; WHIST persons made
TO the railroad company assurances of 6
| bridge, and whether under the circum-
stances, they, if any such, ought not to
| be allowed TO carry out those assurances.
The length of this article precludes the
discussion OF other questions of interest
pertaining thereto, but il seems that il
the railroad has developed the necessity
! the company can span the Trinity at
| 8 less cost than the cost
of the long bridge and excavation Of the
bluff and condemnation Of right Of way.
They will in all probability want to cross
the river before the expiration of the year,
and it is thought they procure depot
grounds on this side equally convenient
and accessible to the public, thereby avoid
| ing the crest necessity of the bridge,
kindly brought to the notice OF the city by
the North Fort Worth Company.

Said Colonel W. e. Young yesterday ::
The bulk of the trade in Texas cattle this
year for stocking ranges is going to come
from the Indian Territory. l think as
soon as the time is ripe and the range
owners have made preparations, there
will be q big demand for cattle to go
there. There will be few cattle wanted
for northwestern ranges. There is a
matter Of dollar or two per head on
the price at which cattle are held
and that st which the buyer wants to pur-
chase. When this difference has been
overcome, as it will soon, there will be
quite trade spring up.

The TINES acknowledges pleasant
call Thursday morning from DR.. L.
Howison and Charles A Stark of
Rice Lake. The gentlemen were pre-
senting the various claims of their
fellow townsman, VIM. 2. Swift, for
Circuit Judge, and, in the absence
OF home candidate, we would be
pleased to have our people vote sfor
their candidate, and we can see no
good reason why they should not do
80. At this writing there are but two
candidates in the field, Mr. Marshall
Of Chippewa County and Mr.. Swift of
Barron. Either gentleman, so far as
We know, is qualified TO fill the place
in an able and creditable manner,
both being good lawyers, and familiar
with all the duties and requirements
Of the Office. Houors being easy in
this respect, and both having many
personal friends in this corner of the
district, we do not see but the race is
pretty even one There is one point
however, which the people Of Douglas
county should not lose sight OF, aud
that is the important one Of the geo.
graphy of the contest. Chippewa
County, except in this judicial way,
has nothing in common with Douglas
county. 1t is out of our Congressional,
Senatorial ami Representative dis
trict. All Of her interests, business,
social and legislative, lie IN another
direction and away from US. These
are burdens or disadvantages We take
upon ourselves when We vote for
Mr.. Marshall. The position occupied
by Mr. Swift in these respects are
directly the opposite OF what we have
alluded 10. Mr.. Swift Is resident Of
Barron county and is familiar with
al the wants AMI needs of this part of
the district and Is in sympathy with
them. lie Is in our congressional and
senatorial district, aud his county Is
the strongest in point of votes in the
districts named. He and his people
are in full sympathy with our people,
and a pleasant, friendly and neighbour
" feeling exists both in social and
political sense. II these points are
admissible for consideration AMI de-
bate iii such a case, it looks TO US that
il would be the part of wisdom, po-
litical and otherwise, to support Mr..
Swift, and We may do it without any
disparlgement of his hon orable rival.
