POLICE COURT.

The goddess of justice has plenty to
do in Waco when all the courts are in
session at the same time, and it keeps
the old lady on the 60. There is the
federal court, which tries all the cases
in which aliens are concerned and all
crimes against the United States postal
and revenue laws. The state district
court, an aristocratic court, which is
concerned on the criminal side with
heightened crimes, such as murder,
burglary, etc., and on the civil side
with suits in which the property in
volved is considerable. The county
court. which tries cases of less atrooity
and Of less importance, from money
point OF view. Two justices courts,
which take minor offences, both civil
and criminal. The city police court,
which tries offences against the city,
and the commissioners court, which
presides over the affairs Of the county.
There is no lack Of courts in Waco,
and they all together furnish employ
ment and sustenance to small army

Much Ado About Nothing

About noon to day, Franklin
street, which lie one Of the most vir-
tuous streets in the city, was blockaded
BY a ferocious discussion and small
fight between white man and q black
man over the possession of a seven
dollar horse. 1t seems the two had
met in the suburbs riding two respec-
tive meek-eyed animals, and bantered
each other for a trade. Later in the
forenoon they met on the square and
after the usual bantering. oaths and
preyaricatious which go to make up a
horse trade, they traded, the white
man giving the black man IS to..boot,
which the blackman accepted and which
he put in his pocket. Later the white
man sent his animal down to the wag-
on yard where the negro's mare was to
swap the horses, when the colored man
rued the bargain, wouldn't give up his
mare, and the boy left the white mans
horse there and camo back and
reported. simultaneously the white
man going down to see about it, and
the black man riding his own mare
and leading the white mans animal
to bring it back, met on Franklin street,
and the white man tried to take posses
sion Of the marc he traded for, and the
negro tried to hold it. Then Anglo
Saxon and Ethiopian joined in war
Of words and sulphureous philoligy
that darkened the sun. The air tremb-
led and quivered with groans of the
Kings English mutilated and MUIR
dered, while hundred bystanders
pranced about in sympathetic excite
ment. They came together, each hold
ing on to the mare with one hand
they fought with the other and their
feet. There was knife in the fracus
which was not opened and changed
hands, and then the combat broke short
of and the colored man set of to look
for an officer. The white man jumped
on the mare to ride OF. The mare was
asleep She had slept through the
whole row, Indifferent as to whom she
was going to belong.

Fritz Re-UuiOu.

A reunion of the Fritz family was held
in the Hess Maple grove on Thursday
June Goth. The day was fine and there
was large attendance consisting Of men,
bers of the family from the immediate
neighborhood and from other parts OF the
country. After enjoying good dinner,
addresses were made by James NJ. Fritz,
of Nanticoke, Elias Fritz of New York,
Rev. George Fritz, Z. S. Fritz, Daniel
Fritz and A. l.. Fritz. Samuel Fritz, aged
about eighty-seven years, was president OF
the meeting. The speeches for the most
part consisted of family history and recol-
lections. In the discussions OF family his
tory it was agreed that the present known
relatives descended from Philip Fritz who
was born in Philadelphia in 1862. That he
was finely educated. That his home was
near the old state House buildings on
Chestnut street, aud that near by, that
place he was engaged in business. About
the year 1895 he.gave up an active business
life In the city and moved into the country.
But before locating permanently he in con-
nection with others made a journey on
horseback from Philadelphia to Fishing
Creek Valley TO personally investigate the
advantages claimed for this region. He
explored the valley along the stream from
its mouth to its source-examined the
quality of the soil, the streams, springs,
and different varieties of timber which
constitute its forests. He then bought a
large tract of land auI located at the head
waters of Fishing creek, and became the
first School teacher and Justice of Peace
in the northern part of the county.
Now the homes of his grand children
and igreat-graud-children extend all over
the country. They have homes in States
bordering on the Atlantic, the Pacific, the
Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico.
All of the relatives present upon this oc.
casion enjoyed a very pleasant time and
agreed to hold another meeting in on,
year.

ing at the buildings and It is his intention
to push them to completion as soon as
possible Three buildings will be erected

hides aud leather, and leach house.
These together with bark sheds and scales,
will cover large space OF ground north
Of the town near the mouth OF Blackberry

are investing money at that place that
there will be sufficient bark IN the sur
rounding mountains to run tannery for
at lea It thirty years. A large numDer of
hands will be employed which will neces-
state the building of number Of tenant
houses. The proprietor of the tannery
prefers that these houses shall be supplied
by other capitalists who wish safe and
profitable investment for their money. A.
L. Fritz of Bloomsbury has charge of the
sale of lots at that place. Those who wish
| to build at once can now purchase lots,

A furniture factory and other establish
ments are expected TO be located soon.

a Flyer on the Reading Railroad.


Philadelphia journals are discussing the
recent phenomenally fast run of Reading
Railroad train to Atlantic City, and specu-
ating upon the almost illimitable possibili-
ties of rapid railway travel which that
wonderful performance suggests. The
locomotive that whirled seven heavily
loaded coaches from Camden to Atlantic
City in so minutes and 40 seconds, or at q
rate Of a mile minute, is designated as
Number 1912" and is one of ten new en-
gines all Of similar construction, built for
fast passenger service on the Reading
Railroads Atlantic City line. They are of
the strikingly peculiar design originated
by the Reading company, which now IN
disputably possesses the fleetest and most
effective motive power in this country. In
conjunction with the highly improved
roadway and general equipment of the
Readings Atlantic City division, it may be
set down as certainty that these engines
will surprisingly reduce the time between
Philadelphia and the seashore.

Children's Day was observed by the

Glaze, Pastor, with appropriate exercises.
The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion, which proved to be one
of special interest.
The children performed their parts sd-
mirably in rendering suitable dialogues,
recitations, etc.
Prof Winter, a member OF this church,
and Principal OF the Schools at Catawissa,
in his usually pleasant manner, addressed
the children very acceptably.
All who participated in the exercises re-
flected great credit upon the church, and
their services were highly appreciated by
a crowded house,
