chief saw the paper money he shook his

\: the council meeting Tuesday night
when, The Arlington Heights street railway COM
pany asked for an extension OF sixty days time
within winch 10 complete the work OF extension
on Jones street. from Seventh 20 Front street, il:
was explained by Mr.. Clements thG: the council
was not inclined to grant the Arlington Heights
people any favors until they had Strengthened
with the city their subscription OF $500 toward
the Seventh street improvement.
But City Attorney Po~ell and others stated
that the Arlington Heights people were
willing TO comrly with the terms of their ub-
scHpllon whenever the city had complied with
the terms upon which the subscription was
made.
then.
Yesterday 4 GAZETTE man ascertained the
stains OF the case.
When the Arlington Heights railway was first
projected SevcHth street Maj III. Van
Xandt offered to give TO the company the right
Of way from Penn street west to the Trinity
river on condition that they would make first
class graded and grav,led street there. This
was agreed to, and the company calculated to
use the dirt taken from the cut Immediately
west Of Penn street further west on the road.
Bat when the city undertook TO grade West
Seventh street q treat deal of dirt was required
and the Arlington Heights people offered 10 give
the city the dirt taken out west OF Penn street,
ON condition that the city would carry out the
agreement with Major Van Zandt. /. e., make
good street west OF Penn.
The city used the dirt. but never made good
street.
Now the Arlington Heights company will hold
IT'S subscription TIL the city complies with its
contract, and the city proposes to withhold its
extension of time from the company for the
completion of its Jones street extension until
the company pays the money.
No serious ENHANCEMENT - likely to result,
for both sides mean well. and an adjustment
Nj no doubt be arrived at when they get to-
gether,

WORLDS FAIR.
The Convention in Session at Houston a
Representative Gathering.
IT. J. Hurley of Fort Worth Selected to Preside
The Permanent Headquarters Located
at Houston.

Special to the Gazette.
HoUsoN, TEX, Dec. l0.-Wheu the
World g fair convention was called to
order tins morning there were 1000 dele
gates present representing every section
of the great state from the Panhandle to
the Gulf. in the assemblage were rec
ognized the mayors OF all the leading
cities of the state. Every business in
terest had its exponent, even the bogus
newspaper man was on hand with a
scheme to give Texas 81 200, 900 worth
of free advertising if the delegates would
raise him a purse of 500. In every par
ticuIer the convention was representa-
tive gathering.
Mayor ScherfFiurs OF Houston called
the meeting to order and addressed the
convention. After his address Mayor
Bali of Huntsville nominated T. +. Hur-
ley of Fort Worth for temporary CHAIR
man. This motion was seconded by
every mayor aud the chairman of each
delegation, and he was unanimously
elected. In his speech of acceptance he
alluded to the great possibilities of Texas
and asserted that Texas would, at the
Columbian exposition in 1892, show tho
people of the world that Texas could
raise more than
COTTON AND HELL.
D. D. Bryan Of Galveston was elected
permanent secretary and the unual COM
mittees were appointed when a recess
was taken.
The temporary organization was made
permanent, and then the real work be-
gan. The Dallas delegation had come
loaded. They wanted the state Masonic
temple moved to Dallas, and they de-
manded that the home OF the Texas
World g fair convention be located there
also, but the showing under they got
caused them to think Il Dakota blizzard
had struck them.
Resolutions of every sort, kind and de-
scription were introduced, among which
the most important was that the Texas
legislature be memoralized to appro-
pirate 81 900. 900 for the purpose of hav-
ing the vast Industries of Texas repre-
scented. The demand is that Texas have
a separate building and that the exhibit
from the Lone Star state be made the
grandest Of all. The iron men, the lum-
bermen, the cotton men aud
the sugar men will all contribute
literally, and when the exhibit il made
Texas will be foremost in the galaxy of
states. During the winter months cauli-
flower, Strawberries, tomatoes, etc.
will be shipped on to the great fair, and
the world will be thus apprised of the
great possibilities of Texas, which can
raise in midwinter fruit, vegetables and
flowers. The deep water projects will
also be illustrated, as vessels can now
enter any port in Texas. drawing from
fourteen to twenty feet of water.
The fight of the convention was over
the location of the permanent headquar-
tiers of the Would 3 fair exhibit conven-
ton, and Houston was almost unani-
mously selected, Dallas being the only
vote against it.
Committees were appointed to adrer.

COUNTY ROADS.
The Commissioners IN IA Quandary--A Topic
nt Much Moment.

The Commissioners IN IA Quandary--A Topic
nt Much Moment.
Yesterday the county commissioners assemb-
led in monthly session took up for discussion the
work being done on the roads by the county
convicts.
There are now over fifty convictS engaged on
the county roads, and there are fifteen more to
go out to-day. making Z totil OF sixty-iive. This
gang, with an outlay averaging 900 per month
Tor expenses and incidentalS, do an immense
amount OF good IN the course OF a few months.
The statutes provide, i'll effect, that the county
road and bridge fund must be distributed among
the various precincts OF the county in proportion
20 the amount of taxes each pays; but this regu-
lation ia qualified by the proviso that the fund
shalt be placed where 1t is most needed.
1t is a question with the commissioners how
best to apportlon the convict force in compliance
with the requirements OF the statute. Recently
they have been working under arrangement
by which the coRvicts work 'hree months in one
precinct three months in another, and so on
around.
1t is now six months since they worked in pre-.
cinct No. /. the precinct III which Fort Worth is
located. At that time they were employed on
the West Cleburne road, south of the city, and
const ructed five miles of the best graded road
that leads into the city.
For the past SIX months the force has been
employed in the eastern part Of the county. in
the uciGhborhood OF Grapevine, doing good
work. hut work that IS OF more benefit to Dallas
than to Fort Worth.
Now precinct No. l. of which Fort Worth IS
part, pays over three-fourths of the county
taxes.
The question before the commissioners' court
is, should no Precinct No. l get the benefit in
proportion to the taxes paid?
To-day Judge Harris will meet with the COM
missioners, and this question will be settled.
Commissioner j. j. Scott. who represents Pre-
cinct No. }, has stated to the board that he is
willing TO allow each of the other precincts 10
have the couvicts five months if they will allow
Precinct No. TO have them seven months but
this does not appear 10 be satisfactory.
This is a matter OF large importance TO Fort
Worth affecting her value as q market for farm
produce and d retail trading point for, iud,-
ing by the splendid work done by the convict
gang on the west Cleburne road, il they were
long employed in this ueighborhood Fort Worth
would soon have first class system of country
roads radisting in all directions.
