Notes of Progress.

1t is probable that work on the Helm
vaults on Front street will commence
next week. Louis De Mouohe expects
the plans every day. The building will
be 75xlO0 feet, having departments for
stables, offices and vaults.
A $50 200 trade in Tarrant county
property was contaminated yesterday by
Andrews s. Graham by the transfer OF
300 acres lying few miles north of
town. II. C. Clark Of Dallas was the
seller and Messrs. John and James Har-
rison of Fort Worth the purchasers.
The carhouse at Arlington Heights Is
to be greatly different from the usual
buildings of that sort. The plan which
is being followed shows a structure very
much after the style Of the cottage res
idenee, with ornamental embellishments
that make it extremely attractive. Work
is well under way on the building.

THE friends of eX- Governor Cornell are
saying, since his monetary condition has
been made public, that his mind is I'M
balanced. There seems to be little doubt
that there is q want of balance which is
not to his credit either in morals or
finance, whatever may be his mental
condition. He was for some time vice.
president of the Western Union telegraph
company, but since his severance from
that company his business associations
dence in his stability, and wildcat
schemes have brought him to his present
financial straits.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

a Ladies Seminary to Be Establtshed-Ahe
First Move Taken.
On Tuesday night there was held at the
Spring Palace Office a meeting that, al
though not largely attended, was an
initiatory movement IN an enterpris
that should command much attention.
Among all the projects to further
the substantial growth of this
city, the necessity for good
schools should not be overlooked. Fort
Worth, with all its boosted progressive
ness, has not a suitable building for
young ladies' seminary. While other
towns adjacent have seen the neces-
sity for such buildings, this city
has quietly permitted her daughters
to seek elsewhere the advantages that
should have been procurable here. The
meeting on Tuesday night was for tbs
purpose of taking steps to secure suit
able building and to institute, under the
supervision and guidance of Miss Conk-
ling, an experienced and well known
instructor, q school that should be fully
equipped in every particular for the great
work Of fitting the daughters OF Fort
Worth for the high places that await
them.
The meeting was merely preliminary,
and after general discussion OF
the subject and a succlnot and
clear statement by Miss
Conkling OF what she deemed indispensi-
Bile to success in the undertaking, a COM
mittee was appointed to confer on the
subject.
The committee comprises the following
persons: Rev. DR.. Mitchell, chairman;
ID ID Do
dock, Mr.. A. B Smith, Mrs. II. L.
Lathrop and Mrs. a. L. Byars.
The committee is to meet this morning
at 10 O'Clock in the Spring Pal
ace Office for furthur consultation,
and it is expected they will
be prepared in a few days TO call meet
ing of the citizens and to show what
progress they have made in an sffort to
secure to this city an institution that will
do as much to further its real progress as
any enterprise that has been projected.

RUsK wILL BE REPREsENTED

Longview Record: Rusk county will
be represented at the Spring Palace; so
Brother Dodson will have no use for the
bronchos to kick the mossoacks of Hen
derson. 4 meeting has been held at that
place and committees appointed who
have gone to work to collect up the re-
sources OF the county, such as fruits,
minerals, timber, ETC., which will be
exhibited at the Spring Palace. It will
advertise the county, and the people will
receive decided benefits for the little
trouble and expense they will incur. We
hope to see every county in East Texas
represented at the Spring Palace.

The Brewery Project

One of the most substantial enterprises
which the citizens OF Fort Worth have
had brought to their attention recently is
the brewery plant, which was considered
at the first meeting of the board Of trade.
The gentleman who makes the PROPOSE
ton has had previous experience in the
same line, which enables him to know
Just what he is doing and what are his
chances for success, and he comes for
ward with an undertaking to enter the
business at his own expense and risk, fully
satisfied that this field is full of promise
for such an investment. The brewery
means the employment of about 125 men
steadily at good wages. The expendi-
lures of such plant are no small item.
The plant will be located at point near
the Trinity below the city.

HENRY c.. LEA. a prominent Indepen-

if they are true Quay's place is in the

most libslous ever brought against an
individual. He rounds up his arraign-

told David, ''Thou art the man, F" say

A LARGE TRADE.

Eighteen Hundred Dollars Per Acre for q
Tract of 40 Acres.
The sale made public yesterday of the
40 acre tract lying TO the southeast of
the Texas and Pacific stookyards, is one
of the largest and most significant Of any
made recently in Fort Worth. Eighteen
hundred dollars per acre was the selling
price, making the total value 1852 900.
To McAnulty and Nesbitt belongs the
credit for the sale. The purchasers are
a syndicate of New York and Fort Worth
parties, and through it Fort Worth Sc
cures the cooperation in its uphuilding
of some parties who have played strong
hand in the destiny of several of
the larger Western cities further
north The plat is at once to
be laid off into lots and placed on the
market. 1t is understood that already a
proposition has been rendered for the
erection of a factory on the property.
It is believed by many, with what foun-
dalton cannot be yet said that there is far
more in this deal than mere real estate
transaction; that this deal must be con-
sldered in connection with Gould s recent
visit and his plans as then determined.

are not coming up to their deserts, and
it is q gospel truth that that which is not
progressing will retrograde. Within the
last twelve or eighteen months Kaufman
county, instead Of increasing in popula-

farmers have left, and others are anx-

better lands, better water, better society
and better school and church facilities
elsewhere, for there is not, but it is be-
