SUDDEN DEATH.
An Aged Ci'fz,n Fails from His Wagon and
Is Crushpd-The IrQn"st Reld-0ne
Who Saw the Accident.

B. A. Townsend met a sudden and
awful death about noon yesterday on the
South Side.
He was an old man, having seen some
sixty-five years. He and his aged wife
lived at Mistletoe Heights and he earned
a living by driving an artesian water de-
livery wagon.
He was on his way to deliver water at
the time mentioned. When he reached
the corner of Hemphill and Peter Smith
streets he was driving at brisk pace,
AMI as he went around the corner the
wheels of the wagon met an obstruction,
causing heavy jolt.
The old man was in a spring seat
which threw him so high that he fell out
of the wagon. He struck the hard pave
ment with his head. The horses
took fright end started to
run, pulling the wheels over
the PROSTATE unfortunate. The front
wheel ran over his head, crushing the
skull horribly, and the back wheel went
over his chest. breaking in the ribs and
iujuring him internally.
Will Pollard, driver of laundry
wagon. was about thirty yards from the
spot when the accident occurred. He
hurried 10 the assistance OF the old man,
but when he arrived the victim was
speechless, nor did he utter a sy Halle
until he died, which was about twenty
minutes.
He was sober man of good repute
among those who knew him. He had
been several years in this city, and he
had friends who will see TO it that he gets
u good burial.
Shortly after the accident occurred
Justice McClung repaired 10 the spot and
held an inquest on the remains. The
statement of facts above made was
elected Ut the inquest.

POMPEII.
The Grand Exhibition Was Given Again
Last Night.
The Attendance Was Not so Heavy as on the
TrevlOus Nth, bu; That IA Not Sur

The revibitions caused by the burst
ing of bombs and shells at the Pgmpeiian
inClosureI weTe again heard in that part
of Texas near Fort Worth last night, an
nouncing that the PompeIan exhi ition
was again being given.
The attendance was somewhat short of
that OF the previous night. But
then the previous night, which was
Spring Palace night, was exceptional.
On that night there must have been over
10 900 spectators of the gorgeous fete.
Last night the crowd made up in en-
thusiasm what it may have lacked in
numbers. There was not part of the
exhibition that WIS not app.uuied
loudly, but the fireworks part of the
display has not yet been known TO give
IN encore.
The sports az usual attracted great in

spectator easily imnGiues himself

doubt about glove contests hav-
ing been in vogue at the
time Pompeii was destroyed, but
there Is no doubt that the introduction
of this feature as one of the sports at
the modern representation of that great
catastrophe is a decided hit.

UP GUARDS AND AT EN-.
Democrats of Tarrant County Should
Be en- the Ebert.
There is Danger in Ara'hy-EtNrnal Vigilance
is the Price of Political success.

The Democrats of Tarrant county and
Fort Worth would ue astounded on
Wednesday morning next if they found
that several of the nominees of the De-
mocracy were defeated. There is dam
ger of just such thing occurring. The
Democrats have exhibited moth ng but
apathy in the present campaign,
while Tour friends, the enemy,
have been i'll lustriouSiy at work. There
have been boasts openly made by the
Rel ublicans that they had plans laid
which would insure the election of
several of their ticket. There are two
candidates in the field against James w.
Swayue, the nominee Tor representa-
tive. They are NJ. G.. Hurley
and Isaac d. Parker, generally sup
posed TO be Democrat, but who is
beng run as candidate against Mr..
Swayne. The Republicans propose to
swap off NJ. c. Hurley for |. d Parker
in consideration OF vo:es from Parker's
friends for Lon Burkley, the Republican
candidate for sheriff against that
uble officer and staunch Democrat,
Capt. j. c. Richardson. There are
other schemes on foot which can only be
utltHleu DN active euNTlS Oh DSluOCIalS
Every Democrat should vote.
james W. Swayue. las made an active
and brilliant canvass Of the county.
He has spoken twice day and
has made friends for Democracy where
ever ne has gone. He has given his views
fearlessly on public questions. and shown
that he thoroughly understands the poiit-
icul situation. He has Lorue the banner
of Democracy into every city, town and
hamlet OF this county, and deserves
n large majority. All the candidates of
the Democracy have done what they
could, now the voters should do their
duty to the nominees.
The tickets have all been printed and
the xecutive committee asks THE GA
ZETTE TO say that the first amendment TO
lie voted for, article 10, section
., of the constitution, is the
commis sion amendment. The next, sec
ton 8. article 8, of the constitu lion, Is
the road law amendment.
1t will be well for all voters to examine
their tickets carefully AMI see that none
bat Democrats and all the Democrats
nominated are on the ticket. 1t pays TO
watch and it pays TO work. Political
SUCCESS depends on dong so.

A STRONG SHOW.
Blupbpnrd, Jr., rrrw a Big Honso, and Pleased
Every boGy-Gr"at .canic EF.et-A
tplendid Ballet.

Promptly at IL O'Clock last night the
curtain descended at Greenwall's opera
house upon what is undoubtedly the
most superb exhibition of the scenic ar
lists, the costumer's and the stage car
penter's art ever witnessed in Fort
Worth theater. The play was ''Blue-
beard, Jr. or Fatima and the Fairy. -
1t is the third annual spectacular
extravaganza of the Chicago opera
house. For that reason q great deal had
been expected. The audience that filed
every portion of the Greenwall vas not
disappointed. The spectacle is most
sumptuous and lavish production, upon
which money has been spent with a
prodigsl hand. II would be an arduous
task to enumerate in detail the striking
scenes which are presented with marvel
GUS rapiditT. Not often is such gilt
tering and highly colored scene been
witnessed upon the boards than the
glittering 'Grotto of Fantastic Fancy. -
The transformation scene "Truth and
Light is a fitting apotheosis of the gor-
geousness which precedes it. 1t is q tTi-
umph of scenic art, inspired By poetic
impulse, and is a marvel not only in con-
ception, but in treatment, and stands SO
far above the gaudy transformations to
which the public have been accustomed
ii the past Us to mark new era. The
ballet ''The Light of Asa'' and the
ballet of birds and Insects" are the
best ever seen here. AS for the peo-
Pile, Gilbert Is the most note
worthy character in the cast.
He is great favorite aud is
one of the best burlesQus comedians on
the stage, his peculiar style being inimit-
able. Miss Villars, next to Gilbert, does
work worthy of commendation in the
character of Hyesba, but she perhaps
Oyerdoes certain portions. Mr.. Flint,
as Bluebesri. has not full scope, but he
is an actor of fine quality,
and has figured as leading support
in the legitimats drama. The Messrs.
Deimaning Brothers, who have hereto
fore been an attractive feature with
George Wilson 3 Ministries as the ''Twin
Chiefs of Police, - did thorough and Hne
work and pleased the exacting audience
when there was so much that was good.
Some portions of the ballet dancing was
remarkable, as not often seen. The in
diligence in local gags, comic songs aud
ancient airs mars and detracts from the
general and otherwise fine effect.
The play. as performed here, has q
fuller complement or scenic effect than
was possible at the opera house in Dali
las, aud to-night-as the troupe Is not
compelled TO leave early Sundsy-uorh-
ing will be curtailed. "a might be ex-
pected from such heavy Arrangement.
The matinee this afternoon aud to-
nights performance will, as deserved,
have full houses.
