Andrew Carnegie a pusY Man.

There is no buster man in New York
than Andrew Carnegie. Just at present
he is making arrangements for his an
nual trip to Scotland, his old home. He
is taking very active part in social
and literary life in New York, is al
ways eager and anxious for bout with
men like Ingerson, Horace Porter and
Depew, at the Nineteenth Century and
other clubs where some of the great
problems of the day are discussed, and
he is liberal patron Of the opera and
theater. He occasideally writes news
paper or magazine article, and SO it will
be seen that he is pretty well occupied,
for in addition to all these things, he has
fortune OF $40 900, 200 to look out for,
and vast interest in the great iron works
in Pittsburg.
So much has been published about his
enormous success in amassing fortune,
that he is constantly flooded with letters
from old and young men all over the
country asking for advice.
Mr.. Carnegie began life without dol
lar. His father and mother were so
poor that they both did weaving to sup
port their two children in the little
Scotch village of DunfermIine, q charm
burial place of Robert Bruce. How
many young fellows he has helped on to
q fortune do not know. But he has al
ways good advice 70 give and is one of
the men who do not believe that the
world is overorowded and that there is
no place for the youngster of to-day.
On the contrary, he is q staunch be-
lever in self-made men. He is a be-
lever in college education, but thinks
the man with trade has
better .g-chance of getting on in
the world. How much money he gives
away ea year nobody knows. But he
iqsA&t tteesatically He is bitter
ots R1h4 of indiscriminate charity. He
tfssnE hat many of the evils of this
SO Use from giving money to the
tie ng people and in the wrong way.

seq Dc the werd. He has an opinion on
vetsubject. He is aggressive, and in
spS Ing and writing forcible to a de-
gfdB. EIhere is no truth in the report

Saslar and to leave America.

Great Convention of Temperance Workers.
There is to be a great National Tenn
perance congress held in this city in May.
A score or two of men and women, rep
resenting every shade Of anti-liquor
views, will come together, and for the
time being drop all quarrels and make a
solid front in favor of temperance, or,
as the call for the meeting says: ITO
look into one snother's face, TO compare
views frankly, to learn the real ground
of our agreement, and to acknowledge
that ground if possible, by candid and
friendly discussion. The saloon is still
here, the fight is still on, the liquor
traffic, if anything, is more aggressive
than ever. ~
Among those who will be present are
DR.. Deems, 1. X. Funk, ex-Judge Noah
Davis, DR.. Cuyler, Miss Frances Will
lard, Bishop Vincent, the Rev. Joseph
Cook, Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, and scores
of other well-known temperance workers
throughout the country.
The congress is to last two days, and
will be opened in the Broadway taber-
nacle. 1t is contemplated to hold mass
meetings in the evening, and conferences
during the day. AS q member of the
committee expressed it Yesterday, awe
intend to give the rum power the biggest
fight it ever had.

ideas on subjects of interest to mining
engineers. 1t is likely that there
will be 500 guesta from Europe.
England alone Will send 200,
including some of the best known
iron and steel manufacturers of the
three Kingdoms. Andrew Carnegie is
the chairman of the general committee,
and it is contemplated after the essions
of the institute to make excursions to
many of the leading cities in this eoun-
try. 1t this way, it is possible that the
American engineers may be able to re-
turn, in some measure, the courtesies
extended to our representatives who
Travelled abroad last summer.

The block of frame was owned by CT.
Collins and was but little loss, as he was
going to pull them down soon in order TO
build brick block. The occupants were
able to save most Of their property ex-
cept Charley Ayres. who had q restau-
rant on the corner. He was working
hard carrying out his things when sud-
denly he gave away, fell down
and was dead almost when picked up,
caused by heart disease, brought on by
excitement and over exertior. Lynch
had $1,000 insurance in the Fire associa-
ton of Philadelphia. The Kohler build
ing, across the street, caught fire, but
was extinguished. The damage to it will
amount to about $50; insured for $500
each in the City of London and CONNER
cial of California. The hay warehouse
has been set on fire twice before IN the last
six months, but 1t was always discovered

THE HALLS OF JUSTICE.

Cases Filed and Others Disposed Of-Big Com
mission Wanted.
The suit of Nora Downie vs.. the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande railway company
for damages to her residence property by
reason of the close proximity of the de-
feudant's tracks and switchboard, was
up yesterday in the district court. Her
property was worth, according to testl-
mony, about $4,000 before the defend
anti track was laid, and now she sues
for $500 damages. The testimony i'll
the case was all in last night, aud il Will
probably be given to the jury this
morning.
Judge Berkham Yesterday morning fixed
the amount of the verdict which he ren
dered the night before in favor Of the
plaintiff in the case of G.. w. White
against the Ma,ador Land and Cattle
company. 1t was fixed at S2267 80, the
difference between the value of the horses
contracted for by the defendants and the
amount realized by the plaintiff.
The grand jury, which convened Mon
day, returned three bills yesterday and
adjourned again. The bills of indIct-
ment found were against John Hancock
and Tom Grayson, each for stealing
horse, and against E. G. Kelly for
theft of over $40.
An attachment suit was fled yesterday
in the district court by Smith, Mead &
Co., of Fort Worth, against A. A
Whipple and others of Jackson county,
Mo. The plaintiffs say that some time
ago the defendants placed the Hyde
Park addition to Fort Worth in the
hands of the plaintiffs, who were
to effect the sale of it before a speci-
fed date. This they did, and James
w. Swayne, the purchaser, paid down
$500 to bind the agreement. The Hyde
Park addition contains 800 acres and was
sold for S170 600, on which sum the
agents were to receive three per cent. ac-
cording to a reem snt, or $500. Now it
is alleged the defendants refuse to pass
title to the land and to pay the percent
age. Hence the suit.
Two cases were filed in the county
court by w B. Ford, attorney, against
w. II. Hirshf1eld and against j V.
French, each for $3.50, on account of
professional services rendered.
The criminal court will meet the first
Monday in April to dispense justice ac-
cording to the established methods.
The courthouse Is in such state of
confusion now that the district court has
invaded the county court rooms, and the
sheriff has the greatest difficulty in find
ing the witnesses subp@naed, while the
different CLERKS are totally ignorant of
each other s location.

AS soon as l saw that article in The
GAZETTE l remembered ali about it,
So says n. wareham.
Mr.. Wareham is a runner for the FAIRIES
hotel in Fort Worth. The article he
refers TO is that regarding the remarkable
disappearance of c. A. Tingle. What he
remembers is that he saw SIR. Tingle at
the depot on Sunday morning, March 8,
when he bought ticket on the Texas and
Pacific and took the west bound out OF
the city. Where be was going to Ware
ham does not know.
Mr.. .. p. Gothliu Of Cincinnati,
brofher-in-law of the missing man, in
terviewed Wareham. who formerly
worked at the fremont house, where
TingIe boarded, and knew him well. He
is reliable man anu states positively
that he cannot be. mistaken about his
statement as above.
All fear of foul play is now removed.
Mr.. Gothlin Is of the opinion that Jingle
purposely endeavored to lose himself TO
the knowledge Of his friends. He was OF
that disposition, disliking friends or assoc
cistes, repelling all attempts at intimacy
or even acquaintance. 1t is likely Tingle
las gone TO one OF the territories.

FIRE RECORD.
Scenes at the indianapolis Fire.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Maroh 18.-The
work of excavating the ruins Of the
Bowen Merrill fire progressed through
out the night. Ten firemeD are known
to be dead. Their names are: George
Faulkner, Ulysses Glazier, George Glenn i,
Alex Huffman, Sam Neal, Espey Storm
er, Richard Lowrie, Charles Jenkins

perIntendent of fire alarm system. At a
late hour this morning workmen digging
the mass of brick, iron and mortar are
trying to eXtricate a man, whose face is
bloody and bruised, appears just above
the debris. He is supposed to be Daniel
Jones, a pipeman. His feet are caught
by huge iron girder and he is being lib
orally applied with stimulants to keep
him alive. Underneath him is another
man who is supposed to be dead.
The scenes at the fire department
headquarters this morning have been
only exceeded in pathetic interest by
those at the homes of the dead f1remen.
Old men, fathers of the younger men
who lost their lives, wives, mothers and
children of the dead and living have
crowded into the room seeking informa-
ton of their loved ones, and getting none
have rushed TO the scene of the fire and
by their frantic appeals have made
dOubly arduous the work of those EN-
deavorIng to get at those imprisoned be-
meath the ruins.
The first ambulance to leave the scene
Of the FIRE carried the remains of the first
four men taken from beneath the fallen
floors. They were followed by an i'm
promptu procession of carriages, wagons
and pedestrians, and first proceeded to
the undertaking establishment, then to
the homes of the deceased, where IN two
Instances their coming gave the first in
timatIon of sorrow that had fallen on the
home.
The cause OF the loss of life Is as yet not
quite apparent.
Tonight John Burkhardt, one Of the
firemen taken from the ruins alive, died
at the city hospital.

A Successful Effort.

The First Baptist church was Rblaze
with light and life last night. The
Ladies aid society gave a reception to all
members of the church and to those con-
nected IN any way with it. The result
was that the church parlors were alive
with happy faces and the hum of pleas
ant voices. There were no set exercises
during the evening, the entertainment
being entirely informal. 1t was got up,
as one OF the ladies said, that the people
Of the church might get acquainted with
each other, and this they proceeded i'm
mediately and successfully TO do. The
inside of the church paTlors was a sight
10 make a bachelor s heart thrill. The
reception committee was composed of
Mrs. DR.. G r. Adams, Mrs M. &. Weaver
Mrs. c. A. Robson, Mrs. w. .. Bate
man, Miss Cora Hogsett, Miss Blanche
Fielding, Miss Minnie Nash, Miss Bette
Davis and Mr.. A. r. Spillmau. The
Ladies aid society resolved themselves
into a committee of the whole for enter
tainment and succeeded admirably. Re-
freshments were served during the eve
ming and good humor prevailed.

ton was adopted calling on the secretary of war
and the secretary of the interior.for information
to whether 8 saving of public expenditure
can be made by transferring she bureau of pen
sions from the interior to the war department
When the morning hour expired the house
went into com ittee of the whole on the pension
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Morrow of California, in charge of the bill
(Which appropriates S98, 427, 40I, explained its
provisions in detail, and in reference to the
general - subject of pensions ions, said it
Der of pensions would reach its
maximum about July 1, 1890. when the expen-
diture would be 81 2, 0O0, 90. On that date under
the existing law the number of pensioners on
the rolls would be $50, 600.
Mr.. Sayers of Texas discussed the pension
system as effected by both acts of congress and
the administration of service. He cited statis
tics showing that from July /, 1860, to January
/, 1920, the expenditures of the government for
pensions were 81. Jos, 326, OIL; that the expendi
lures for pensions for the past fiscal year were
$50, SIC, 96S; that he expenditures for pensions
from March 4, 1885, to June 30, 1861, throughout
period of fifty five and one half years were $780,
13S 1927, and the excess of pension disbursements
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, over the
pensions from 1889 to 1861, period of seventy
two and one-half years, was s.; 1913, 641. He
stated further that the cost OF the of 1912
SIP. 9l2 $40, and only an excess of Sl4 4S5, 0S2
over the disbur sements for pensions for the last
year. and that the cost of the war with Mexico
was S97, 705. s %, and S72l, 900 less than the
pension disbursements of that year. He severely
criticised the administration of the pension Of
flee, and cited many instances where he clain ed
the decisions of the bureau were incorrect and
improper. He thought that there should be
thorough investigation of the system in order
that complete justice should be done to the
men who had fought for their country, and that
bounty jumpers, men who had been lag
gard, might be stricken from the roll so tibet
the place on the roll might be evidence of
LOYALTY, of bravery and of service to the eoun-
try.
mir. Peters of Kansas said for the first time in
the history of the country the house had before
it a careful, concise estimate of what the
penditure of the pension bureau would be during
the next fiscal year. He defended the admins
tration of the bureau, While he did not defend
all the acts of Commissioner Tanner, he could
only saw that that officer had followed in the
wake of his predecessor, Gen. Black.
Pending further discussion, the committee
rose and the house adjourned.
