The fire alarm rang out Sunday after
noon about |. 40 and smoke was seen tc
pour from the stable of the house or
High street belonging to the estate Of the
late Mrs. Judkins, occupied by ]. A. Bur-
rill. 1t appears some boys had raked W
a quantity of leaves. got them into the
stable and by some means set them Oh
fire. Hon. d. W. Allen Of Fairfield, and
Capt. VIM. II. Emery were the first te
discover the fire and by vigorous appli
cation of water with pals had 1t undel
control In a very short time. The Host
Company srrived on the scene in goot
time but their services were not required
Had the fire got one minute further head
way before discovery it would have
reached the hay loft.

Mineral Wells and Northwestern rail-
way, the whole territory south of a line
thirty miles south of the Denver and Fort
worth road will pour its immense trade
into this rapidly growing young city, and
as It increases In volume our transporta-
ton and business facilities will augment.
II Is questionable whsther we, just now,
are prepared 10 handle such trafic as
this collapse assures US. Our wholesale
trade will be largely increased, and il is
about time that our merchants were get
ting ready TO meet Its demands.
Cotton was never better and the proba-
bilities are that our receipts will run up
TO 40 200 bales. There is an abundance
OF corn, wheat and oats, a great portion
OF which is awaiting means of transpor-
tation, and that will be afforded very
soon. There Is not better place in
Texas for medium size elevator, and
there Is necessity for il. The enter
prising citizen, or the syndicate that
takes hold of such an enterprise will reap
a rich harvest on the investment.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The movement IN

all the London and provincial newspa-

this subject is due to the fear that MIL

Russia. The city is already so over
crowded with foreign Dauper laboTers
that such an Influx would cause serious
trouble.

Viscouut Dunlo had an interview with
her since the recent decision OF the

the noble youth seems disposed to 40

refuses to continue his allowance If he
lives with his wife. The idea OF his sup
porting her bv earning money through
his own exertion is of course not coneeiv-
able. There is little prospect of the
couple maintaining domestic relations

Frazier for everything in the obscene
vocabulary. Frazier walked out and so
did Bates, who went off, but returned
evidently on murder bent. Seeing his
condition, the barkeeper suggested
that they disarm him to prevent
harm, but before they could reach
him Bates shot Frazier twice IN the left
side, near the heart, and also shot In the
leg printer named Conley, who was
with Frazier. Bates then fed, but was
captured and lodged in jail. Frazier re-
sided at Isl Halstead street, Chicago,
and was at one time compositor on the
Globe Democrat, and Is well known al
over the country. He was wen
behaved man and was well liked. The
Typographical union and others have
employed counsel to prosecute Bates.
Bates is universally detested on account
of his quarrelsome disposition when
drinking. II is universally regretted
that Bates was ut the wrong end of the
sixshoo ter.

It appears that the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas and Jay Gould are not getting
along like brothers on the joint track
from Whitesboro 10 Fort Worth. In
fact, they are not getting along at all,
and a couple of experts are here now
working to straighten ont If possible the
differences between the two parties. 1t
seems that dispute has arisen over the
matter of tonnage hauled over the joint
track, and it is dollars to cents that the
Katy is not going to get the best of it.
Gould wants the track from Fort Worth
to Whitesboro all to himself, and If the
Katy does not get off of 1t, notwith-
standing the ninety-nine year lease,
Gould will make it so unpleasant that
they will wish they had. 1t is fore
gone conclusion that the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas will have to build their
own track into Fort Worth from the
north.

Thing Dies.
weath erford Constitution.
The Fort worth GAZETTE of yesterday
practically announces the death of the
Fort Worth and Albuquerque alleged
railroad. 1t says:
The affairs of the Fort Worth and Albuq
railroad, as has frequently been intinated
in THE GAZETTE lately, are in bad fx and un-
less something is done pretty soon there is no
hope OF the road being completed TO Springto.vn
in time to haul out this years crop from that
section. The fact of the matter is that the
scheme so far as Mr.. Black and Mallory, Cush-
ing and phayer are concerned, has collapsed,
and If the road is butt another effort must be
made. These are the facts and there is no good
in holding them back any longer.
The GAZETTE has known for some time OF the
trouble in which the Contractors We're, but in
hopes that some arrangement might be made by
which the road could be pushed ahead, the
facts were not given to the public; but new, as
there seems TO be no hope that, unaided, the
present contractors, Messrs. Hurley, Tierney
Lynch viii cary the work on, there is no reason
why the public should not be advised of the true
status Of the road.
This enterprise has for long tins
been holding the word of promise to the
ear of Springtown, Jacksboro and other
Northwestern localities, aud now she
breaks it to their hope. She blew her
bugle of "on to- all through Weather
ford S trade territory on the north and
northwest, and its echoes at one time
created some little alarm; for when
those substantial business contractors,
Messrs. Hurley, Tierney i Lynch, scat
tered their teams and scrapers along the
suburban right OF way and commenced
grading, it was reasonable to suppose
there was solid backing to the venture;
but here comes the wall that the backing
has collapsed aud the contractors given
uD the job.
The hurrah was kept up while there
fingered hope that the weathertord,
Mineral Wells aud Northwestern railroad
would not be built, but the moment that
enterprise began active operations aud
its success was assured, the men who
were cautiously backing the Albuquerque
lost confidence in the paying possibilities
of the road and quietly stepped from
under. According TO THE GAZETTE g
interview with the contractors, in its
issue of the goth, they grew sick OF all
work and no pay. and let the thing
drop.
The northwest territory attempted to
be covered by this road and its trade di-
verified to Fort Worth has always been
selling its products and getting its sup
plies in Weatherford. The continuance
OF this trade was threatened to be cut
of but now IL will settle down to busi-
ness through its old familiar channels
and find its best market in weatherford.

The greatest electric railway which has

is TO erect stations along the route for
the generation of electricity. The esti-
mated cost is only about Sl5 600 mile.

The Freight Rate War Now Extends to
All Glasses OF Shipments.
Rate Of Fifty Cents Per 100 on Everything
Below Fourth class - conductors
Meeting To-day.

The rate war still goes on, and the
decentralization of seaboard and Texas
common point rates is about as bad as 1t
could be. Railroad freight men are
like ducks in thunder storm, and
don't know which way to look or what
10 expect. They are relying now on
newspaper reporters for the latest rates
announced. and hesitate before they
quote anything. Yesterday it was an
nounced early iu the morning that there
had been another cut in rates from New
York proper to Texas common points,
bringing the figures down to fifty cents
on the first four classes. This report,
however, could not be run down, but
commercial travellers showed tele-
grams from their houses instructing
them TO make sHles on the fifty cent
freight basis on those four classes. These
kilograms were probably sent on the
supposition that rates would tumble TO
that roiut before the fight was over, but
no contracts were made on that basis
Yesterday as far as could be learned.
Up TO yesterday the rates on the
clnsses below had been undisturbed,
but the slash was made into them at
last, as was predicted by THE GAZETTE
dgy before yesterday. Yesterday after
noon the Texas aud Pacific made public
q rate, effective at once, of nifty cents
per 100 pounds on all classes below
from New York proper TO Texas COM
mon points, straight carload lots.
As far as heard from, no further re-
durtion on any class has been made on
either New Orleans, Kansas City or St.
Loms rates, but everybody is expecting
them. The rate on cement from New
Orleans TO Fort Worth is now ten cents
per 400 pounds, and as sugar can be
hauled Just as cheap it IS possible that SUI
gar rates Will take another tumble.

and believed that the worst features of
the war had been reached now don't

The NJ, X. & t. Extension.

The extension of the Missouri, KansaG
and Texas road from Denisou, or as it Is
called the Denisou, Sherman and Dallas
road, is to be pushed right ahead. The
contract has been let and Mr.. John P.
Hughes of this city has been awarded it.
II was announced some time ago that II
hal been let TO Grigsby g. Co., but II
now seems that there was some hitch and
John Hughes gets the work. 1t could
have not fallen into better hands as
John aud his mule are a whole team
and with the additional forces the work
will be pushed through in a hurry. 1t
need not be expected that the road will
stop until the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas have made connections with all
their Southern lines. This must be done
and il will be done. The road is soon TO
be extended TO Fort Worth.
