A COURTHOUSE IDYLL.
How the MiniOns of the Law Amuse Them
selves end Ahate Nuisanees

How the Minfons of the Law Amuse Them
selves and Abate Nuisanees.
A representative of THE GAZETTE was
lingering IN the sheriff s office yesterday
afternoon sadly taking in the Informal
ton that there was no news, when Jim
Joyce of the collector s Office came rush
ing in, hatless, coatless and apparently
considerably excited.
"'Come on, Bill Rea, said he, and
Rae silently arose and swiftly followed
him from the room.
''Now here is an item, - thought the
scribe, and putting pencil and note book
away he prepared to follow.
Just then he saw somebody dodge
stealthily by the window on the outside
''Watch them, - whispered Capt.
Richardson. And, amid breathless
stiffness, the scribe watched.
Nothing could be seen save the fence
around the yard, the houses beyond the
street, and negro calmly sleeping, face
downward, on the green sward.
Then came Kissing, rushing sound =,
as though somebody had turned on the
water and the pipe leaked. Suddenly
Bill Rea darted out from a covering
angle of the building. He quickly but
silently approached the recumbent figure
of the sleeping Senamgabian.
A thousand fancies fitted through the
reporter BRAN, shaped themselves into
queries and propounded themselves TO his
excited imagination.
"Could it be that the negro was some
desperate criminal who dared fate by
lying down to sleep in the very sight of
10 orsSIto a nc of ont 10
Rea carried something in his hand.
''Could 1t be the deadly sixshooter?''
No; it was the nozzle of long line of
garden hose, which followed snakelike
behind him.
Approaching within good showerlng
distance of the sleeping daTkey, he
turned the faucet and let fly at him
The cold, swift stream struck the
sleeper on the head and brought him to
his feet.
AS he arose the shower caught him full
in front, and wet him so wet that his
shit widowed before he got outside the
lot.
No child of a down trodden race was
ever called from sweetly peaceful sleep
more suddenly or completely.
AS he Strengthened up his look of
bewilderment gave place to one of sor-
row and disgust, which was Immediately
chased away by an expression of anger.
He looked for a moment as though he
would show fight. But during that mo-
ment the cold, relentless stream was get
ting in it's work.
Then he turned and fled, nor paused to
take a breath until the insurmountable
barrier OF distance was placed between
him and his sparkling tormentOr.
In this harmless yet effective way are
loafers about the courthouse warned to
''keep off the grass.

A SPLENDID INSTRUMENT.
The Great Pipe Organ Built for the First
Baptist Church ut this Place.

The Great Pipe Organ Built for the First
Baptist Church ut this Place.
The grand pipe organ, built especially
for the First Baptist church of Fort
Worth, arrived in the city several days
ago, and the work of setting it up will
begin to-day. The orgen is not only a
magnificent musical instrument. it is
also handsome and ornate piece of fur
niture. The last issue of the Musical
Courier contains the following notice of
this great instrument:
A large two manuel organ for the First
Baptist church. Fort Worth, Tex, has
been completed by Geo. Jardine & Son.
This instrument viii be complete
in every detail, giving the organist every
facility for the performance of all varie-
ties of composition, from chant to an
overture. Such stops as the flute, har-
monte, gambia, doppel flute, etc, are
close limitations of orchestral instru-
ments; the "eolian'' Is exceedingly
sweet and delicate. The tone of the full
organ is grand and massive, so wen bal
auced is the voicing of all the registers.
Jardine & Son are very busy at present.
They win complete large three manual
organ for st. John S Roman Catholic
church, Providence, by next Christmas.

ver immedlately across from Grand

river Immediately across from Grand
Tower.
There remain only about thirty miles
TO be built to complete this extension,
and then the road, in which Messrs,
Scullin and Gays are interested, viii
bring the Cotton Belt TO East St. Louis.
All these facts tend to one conclusion.
The first mortgage bondholders, anxious
to remove the Gould influence from the
management, viii, as soon as the de-
tails of procedure shall have been
decided upon, foreclose their mortgage,
reorganize and take possession of the
road, extend it TO East st. Louis by way
Of Grand Tower, and thus cut loose from
Mr.. Gould and his roads entirely The
drift of affairs seems to justify the be-
lief that flank movement is about to be
executed Il Railway Register.

CONTESTED GROUND.

One Railroad With Tracks on the Right of
Way Owned by Another.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, Ten. Aug. 19-On the 9Th of
January last the city council of the city
of Waco granted to the st. Louis, Ar
kansas and Texas railway company the
right of way to lay switch along First
street from the main line of that road on
Mary street, two blocks north to Bridge
street. The right OF way was granted on
the petition Of property owners whose
property it would benefit. The road
master Of the Cotton Belt laid the track
according to instructions of the city en-
gineer, but it has never been in
condition to admit . Of cars passing
over il nor has any connection ever been
made with the main line For eight
months the Cotton Belt has held the
right of way having never complied with
any of the terms upon which the fran
chise was granted. They cannot now
connect this spur or switch with the main
line OF the road except at right angles,
as property which they would have to
cross in making passable connection is
owned by the San Antonio and Arkansas
dSS COIL pdLt anu Oh WHICH the latter
road intends building depot. Another
point is this: The switch is laid upon the
exact ground subsequently granted the
san Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway
for their main line and this prevents lay
ing of track at the end of the Waco and
Cameron branch of the road. The city
council cannot disposess the Cotton Belt
people, as the road is in the hands of re-
ceivers, and any action Of the council to
remove the switch would be termed con-
tempt to the United States court, and
the Waco city government would be sent
to jail.
In this way the matter stands; the
Cotton Belt people hold possession of the
ground over which the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway intend laying their
main line, and being backed by the
United States court they cannot be dis
possessed. Joint Receiver A. II. Swan
son of the Cotton Belt route and J. p.
Nelson, chief of construction of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass, met here to-
day and held a conference, seeking to
harmonic the matter.
