A marriage certificate was issued yes
terday to John W. Getsinger and Miss
Maud Williams, and to f. b. Kensmer
and Miss Ada b. Emery.
1t appeared to be the consensus of
opinion among the physicians at the con-
vention yesterday that the disease which
ragged at Aurora in February was cerebro-
spinal meningitis.
The festival that was to have been
given last night by the Ladies aid So
clety at the Broadway Presbyterian
church was postponed until Thursday
night on account Of bad weather.
There was another heavy rain at Hart-
ley yesterday, is the substance of tele-
gram received in Fort Worth last night.
Rains in that country mean fine crops,
prosperity to the district, and, conse-
quently to Fort Worth. a
Where Front~street is being repaired ii.
front of ttfeWindsor hotel it often hap
pens at night that there is no light there
to warn drivers of the dangerous condl-
ton OF the thorouGhfare. A serious acct
any time of night.
Cards are out announcing the mar
rage of Mr.. R. d. Horton and
Miss Maggie Trimble on Wednes-
day. April 80, at 6 p. m. at
the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
Rusk, Tex. The couple Will come to
Fort Worth to reside, making their resi-
dence at 72O East Second street.
Those who were at the informal soiree
at Mr.. Bailey's residence last evening
speak highly of the music rendered
on the occasion by Prof. Ault's
orchestra. Among the pieces
nut on were the Minstrel Medley, Silver
Bells, Danube Wave Wales, Kerry Cow
and others of equal merit. Master Guy
Button rendered beautiful violin OBJ
ligato with fine effect.
The immense fiywheeI of the new Cor
Iiss engine. being put in by the Fort
Worth light and power company, was
broken while being placed IN posi-
ton, and the Improvements con-
templated by the company in their
plant will be delayed some
what. The wheel was of unusual size;
making an entire carload of freight by
itself, and the one to replace it will have
Texas, requiring many days time and de-
laying the improvements of the compa-
ny's plant in Fort Worth.
Fort Worth is busy city these fine
days - busy doing good. The
veterans have gone, leaving
their blessing. The doctors are
here, and are still coming.
Thr Maifest draws on apace; likewise the
Spr1ng Palace. The Maifest Is being
worked up into an event of large
Importance. The parade promises
to be a brilliant affair, and the prob
ability that prominent orators will be
present to speak induces >the belief
that large crowds of > country
people will be in the city during the
festivities. Fort Worth is adding to her
Isurals every day she exists.
On Monday evening next the fire de-
| partment of Fort Worth meets at the
| Central fire hall to elect officers for
the ensuing year and to trans
act such other important business
as should come before it .atits annual
| meeting, 1t is not improbable that the
department will come out in strong terms
for the increase of $1,000 in their appro-
| prlatian from the city coun-
| akESsstEhich matter was laid quietly
ss1s.1d gently TO rest by the
| old council. The department appear to
| be in earnest about this request, and
some say that unless some action be
taken on it at once the organization is
| liable to fall into decay, because as now
leconducted the individual members are at
considerable personal expense in its
! maintenance.
All old veterans, and. among them
| Col. John NJ. Swisher OF Austin, are
| strong in their praise or Mr.. Wilson
Gregg s Grafton on San JaciptO. day. Col.
SWisher, who is q literary critic, says that
/ il was the finest address ever delivered
at a veterans rsunion, and further says
that il WIS one Of the finest extempor-
| aneous efforts he ever had the good for
| tune of hearing. All the old
