BUT little ceremony was observed at
the formal induction into office of John
Peter Smith. None was needed. He
fitted into the mayoralty as though it had
been especially prepared for him, and
his inaugural address was correspond
ingly brief and to the point. He makes
an ideal mayor, of whom every progress
sive citizen of Fort Worth is proud.
Now let progress be unconfned.

The warden of the state prison at
Charlestown, Mass. is in painful stu
with the convicts; that is, there is no
bond of sympathy such as bind kindred
spirits. AS his tenure of office does not
depend on utilization with such masses,
the aggrieved convicts are likely to con-
tinue in a state of disafreotion towards
their keeper.

cludes that He Better Die.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
MENARDvtLLE, TEX. Aug. 10.-August
Summarized, thrifty German ranch
man, living about eight miles from this
place. committed suicide on Friday, the
Sth inst. He chose the strychnine
route. Summerfeld came to town on
Thursday morning and, after getting
q check cashed and attending to some
matter of business, proceeded TO tank
ug,'' getting very drunk, which drunk
he kept up all day Thursday and Thurs
day night. Leaving town Friday morn
ing early he went home. On his arrival
home his wife prepared his morning meal,
which he did not eat. When noon came
he told his wife to fix him dinner, that
he would not need no supper, as he was
going to kill himself, that any man who
would get drunk ought to die. She
talked to him and thought she had him
out of the notion and went around about
her household duties. While his wife
was out and in the presence of his little
girl he took the deadly dose, having the
little girl break the glass from which he
had taken the drug, he himself throwing
the spoon in an old we'll. When his wife
came in he told her what he had done.
He died before medical aid could be had.
Often before, after his sDrees, Summer
field has threatened aud attempted to
take his own life, but was prevented by
his wife. He was in moderately good
circumstances financially. Thus ends
the chapter of another unfortunate. An
other widow with four small children is
added to the list.

Nan Near Denton.
special to the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX, Aug. 13.-Walter
Blair young man twenty-five years old
was 1t is supposed accidentally killed
while han dling a pistol at II O'Clock to-
day near Argyle, eight miles south Of
here. The circumstances are rather pc
ouliar and the facts in the case are not
all known. Young Blair aud q young
man by the name of John Scott were at
Mrs. Hollihau' 3 who lives on Blair 8
fathers place. No one was at home and
Scott says that while he was lying on a
cot in the hall he heard pistol shot aad
saw Blair fall. He was shot IN the fore
head and the pistol lay on the floor near
him. No cause for anything like sui
eide can be assigned and it is not be-
lieved that it is an act of self destruc-
ton, as he was in fine spirits with no
trouble on his mind that any person
knew of.
There was no sign OF powder burn on
his face, and the whole thing is a mys-
terry. Blair was very exemplary young
man and had been raised in the neigh
borhood, his father, George P. Blair,
being prominent and we'll to do citizen
of the county.
Justice j. A. Withers of this city held

sAhi remember; he carried me away and
saved me from death. Where is hel"
HE will return shortly" responded M.
Lafleur, affecting an assurance he was far
from feeling.
Nadege opened her eyes to their full ex-
tent and peered excitedly through the smoke;
she clasped and wrung her hands in I'M
speakable anguish. The precipitate beat
ings of her heart marked eternities of suf-
fering.
''Ah, heaven why did he return to that
furnace!" murmured she. WAS it not
enough to have escaped from it? You
should have prevented him, Monsieur LAT
leur!"
ut was for you that he returned, answer
ed the latter to justify himself; ut was tc
bring back to you-if not. too late-your little
possessions, Mademoiselle."
Ladislas had re-crossed the torrent and,
without straying too far, eagerly gazed fnto
the forest.
'Thcre he is 7" cried he, at last.
'tAh!o exclaimed Nadogo in a transport
Of JOY, whicl came near causing her to lose
consciousness a second time.
Yegor appeared, bearing an enormous
package on his shoulders. His dog, which
had remained behind to keep watch over
the abandoned property, was running before
him.
''Come here" began M. Lafeur, ready to
administer a rcprimand. Come here, veg
or. Great heavens do you know that yor
have filed us with horrible fears!"
The young man laid down his burden and
crossed the torrent. His face was radiant
with Joy. He saw Nadege moved and happy
at seeing him again.
ooh! why did you expose yourself thus?
said she, in a tone Of reproach.
Should [ have allowed you to lose your
souvenirs, your relics, the most precious
things your father left you?"
'"rhank YOU Yegor!" said Nadege.
She seized one of his hands and kissed it,
Yegor felt tear of gratitude fall upon it,
''What do you think of this burning Of the
forest?" asked M. Lafeur who, standing
with his hands in the pockets of his panta-
looms, seemed as if he were looking at an
exhibition of fireworks at the Barriere du
Trone. ''It is, indeed, a marvellous and
splendid spectacle! Look-the sky is al
most as red as the glowing Goals which mark
the site of the forest Poor forest! it will
soon be nothing but cinders But it would
be m:re beautiful" added he, with SIGH
eli we had not had to pay the cost Of the
display"
The fact is that the fugitives had lost
much, in their precipitate flight by aban-
doning a large portion of those articles so
loboriously collected and transported to the
forest with so much trouble, articles neces-
sary to assure the success of their perilous
enterprise
''Where is our goat?" asked Nadege.

M. Lafleur answered:

course of the company has proven to
investors that there is absolute safety
in investment in the lois, as we'll as
profit. 1t has made no step that has
not been approved by just purchas
