THE OPERA HOUSE.
and Out-A Pride to the New
Managers.

Mr.. Phil Greenwall, one of the recent
purchasers of the Fort Worth opera
house, having arrived in the city with
his family and taken permanent resi-
denee here, is now engaged in series of
thorough repairs to the opera house
building, which will give that place a
more attractive appearance than it has
presented since the days of its youth.
reporter went through yesterday and OBJ
served some of the improvements. ON
the inside the walls have been newly
papered throughout with bright hue of
paper, giving an airier shade to the
whole, and a coat of paint put on the
wood work, is great help to the i'm
provement. The drop curtain ID to be
retouched before the season opens, and
all the scenery will be overhauled and
renovated. The boxes are to be hand
somely decorated under the supervision
of Mrs. Phil. Greenwall, lady of great
taste and artistic discrimination. The
toilet rooms in the rear of the auditorium
are being put IN shape for use. The
heating and lighting apparatus is being
overhauled so as to contribute TO the en-
joymsnt of the patrons of the house, gas
and electric lights both being used, to
provide against accident. The audito-
rum has been cleaned out thoroughly.
The comfort of companies playing in the
house is not being neglected by the new
management. Below the stage are
numerous dressing rooms which are be-
ing put in good shape for use and the
stage is receiving such repairs as It is in
need of by reason OF age and much
usage. The stage door is to be made
much larger to admit such large stage
property as may be carried by some Of
the companies as will use the house.
For instance the Still Alarm company
carries a steam fire engine weighing a
ton and a half, and room for its en-
trance on the stage must be made. Dur
ing the amusement season il is the inteu-
ton of the management to have police
man or two always in attend
ance, and fireman will be
stationed behind the scenes at
every performance. A new system Of
water mains will be put in and hose con-
nection will be made. During the sea-
son tickets will be on sale during the day
at the opera house. Ladies and children
will be able to get their own tickets and
attend matiness without fear OF molesta-
ton. The rooms over the opera house
are to be turned into offices and rented
for that purpose. One small improve
ment that will add much to the enjoy
ment of patrons will be the attachment
of a small rubber piece to the opera
chairs to prevent them from sounding so
loud when they drop or are thrown down.
''This is the only house my brother
and 1 own exclusively, - said Mr.. Phil
GrsenwaH, land We take pride in max
ing il the best we know how
The improvements now under way are
only temporary, as next summer it is the
intention of the new managers to make
radical changes in the building that will
necessitate the loss of many OF the re-
pairs now being made. The temporary
repairs, however, will give the place
most attractive appearance when il
opens for business on the 22d.

COTTON CROP REPORT.
Condition of the Crops as Gathered by the De-
partment OF Agriculture.

OF the drops rs GhInereu Dy IU6 de-
partment OF Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Dissatisfied re-
turns of the department of agriculture
for September are less favorable to cot
ton on the Atlantic coast. Rains fol-
lowing the season OF drOuth have caused
rust and shedding of leaves and fruit.
Tho impairment of condition has been
points in South Carolina and Georgia
and in Alabama. Local reductions are
reported in North Carolina, though the
average condition is but slightly lowered
through heavy rains and cool nights. The
high condition of Tennessee also has been
well maintained, and the crop there IS
still growing and fruiting. In Mississ-
ippi rains in July ana early in August
caused local injury, not serious, how
ever, as in the more eastern states. The
overflowed districts of Louisiana report
Improvement and average condition
higher. Notwithstanding local reduc-
tions, Arkansas, average has also
slightly advanced. Texas has suffered
from drouth in central and western
counties, which was reported last
mouth, and has caused a slight farther
impairment of condition. The general
average is reduced from $50 to $50,
which Is fraction lower than the REQ
ord of September, 1883. The state av-
erages are: Virginia, 50; North Caro-
lima, 90; South Carolina, S7;I Georgia,
Sc; Florida, 80; Alabama, 81; Mississ-
ippi, 81; Louisiana. 50; Texas, II:
Arkansas, SO; Tennessee, "a. There is
very little mention OF caterpillar, but
boil worm has been unusually prevalent
and active from Georgia to Texas, and
more injurious III the more western por-
lions of the belt.
CORN, WINTER AND SUMNER WHEAT
AVERAGES.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.-The Ma
tional crop report for September shows
that injury to corn crops reported last
month was intensified by continuance
of the drouth in August until rains came
to its relief, but too late for full recoy-
cry. The average is 70.l, against 1873
last month. 1t is the lowest acreage
since 1881.
The returns of the condition of winter
wheat at the time of harvesting are less
favorable than those of the LIST of July.
So far as the season has progressed the
results are generally disappointing. The
July average was 1872. The present
average Is 1875.
The general average of spring wheat
has also been reduced from 1872 to 1913.
The average for wheat of both kinds is
75.5. In 1883 the September average
for both wheats was II. 1t was IS in
1881.

in to-day with prisoner on the Texas

is charged with rape upon the person of

trial before the commissioner at Purcell,
was committed to jail here. AS the train
neared Honey Grove, Pitts made break

end. Mynitt followed him with Carter,
who as he jumped pulled the bell rope.
The engineer stopped the train and
waited while they chased Pitts, whom
they rounded up after about a 800 yard
run. He is now in jail here. He says
he is not guilty, but preferred not going
to Jail.

LL-FATED NO. 10.
Tremendous Volume of Water Catches q
Southern Pacific Train Near Del Bio
and Does Serious Damage.
g special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 10.-A
very remarkable accident occurred last
night on the Southern Pacific railroad.
The through fast passenger train from
San Francisco was mbling along at
about forty miles an hour. The track
was saggy and springy from the hard
rains of the past few days, and the en-
glneer when approaching Johnson's
bridge, ten miles west of Del Rio, and
thought that it might be dangerous to
cross that structure, he consequently
stopped his train about mile from the
bridge, intending to send men forward
with lanterns to inspect its rimbers with
the view of determining its safeness, but
the train hardly ceased moving before
tremendous waterspout rushed down
from the mountains on the north. The
huge column of water in q giffy lifted
engine and mail and baggage cars from
the rails and turned them over on their
sides and washed out 400 or 500 feet of
the track. The passenger, coaches stood
firm and none of the occupants of the
wrecked portion of the train were hurt.
Fireman Daniel sprang from the engine
when he saw the water monster swoop-
ing down towards him, and was thought
to have been lost. He turned up all
right to-day, however. The washout
has delayed all traffic of this division of
the road, though the delayed passengers
were brought through this evening by
transfer. Another curious feature of
the mishap was that the train involved
is the i'll fated No. Is which has been the
victim of nearly every accident on the
Southern Pacific road for the past two
years, starting with the famous train
robbery at HARDWOOD.
