THEY WERE AT WACO.
Fourteen Hundred People Wis.
tied That City Yesterday.
THE RAILWAY EMPLOYEES CLUB
Enjoys its Second Outing by Trip to the
Gsyser City-What the People saw
oflnterest--The Train Service.
The Next Excursion.

The second outing of the Railway En-
ployes' club was success in every particu-
lar. Between fourteen and fifteen hundred
tickets were taken up on the train. and
standing room was ut premium.
The train service given by the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway was
perfection and the Fort Worth Railway
Employees club and its guests had the right
of the road. The day was all that could be
desired. bright and sunny, and yet singu-
larry free from dust. The crowd was in the
best of spirits and We're evidently intent on
a day of pleasure. The people of Waco
were surprised at the magnitude OF the affair.
as they supposed there would be only. one
hundred and fifty or two hundred peo-
pie embrace the opportunity, which only
goes to show that Waco people don't know
the mettle of which railroaders and their
friends are composed. as result Waco
was caught in the suds," but she wasn't
to be taken aback by d little thing like that,
and rallied her forces nobly. As result. II
the Fort Worth visitors failed to enjoy
themselves. the Fort Worth visitors are
alone to blame. The people Of Waco are
Very hospltable, and many acquaintance
and friends were made yesterday that will
cause warmer feeling of friend
ship to exist between the Panther
city and her lovely little sister on the
banks of the Brazos, and The GAZETTE
promises on DeHdll ol L orr Nortu ludt
when the Waco people come to visit US,
the city will be thrown open and everybody
told to enjoy themselves. 1t was tired
crowd but a jolly one that bid farewell to
its Waco friends and boarded the train for
home at q O'Clock last evening.
The Missouri. Kansas and Texas people
are deserving of much praise for the manner
in which they handled the train and the
enormous mass of people that thronged
it. No one was hurt, there were no delays,
and safely carrying this excursion and run
ming it on time adds feather to katy's
plumed cap of which she may well be proud.

The DAWN Waco.

The descent of some 400 or 1900 hungry
people upon the city for dinner rather
paralyzed the hotel-keepers. and by
= o'clock everybody had enjoyed a good
dinner and felt more comfortable
THE GAZETTE man found several Waco
people waiting for himself and party when
he came down from the dining room at the
Hotel Royal, and a pleasant half hour was
spent in chatting. The GAZETTE, J. +.
Smith of the Katy and X. NJ. Carter Of
the Cotton Belt We're taken in
charge by John f. Connor, an old Fort
Worth boy. and were shown around the
city. The handsome residences and beau
tiful lawns along Austin avenue were
pointed 10 with PRIDE and they had
reason to do so. The new cleo
trio line under construction by
the Hobsons of st. Joseph, Mo, was shown
and the method of construction noted. The
I rail of thirty-ive pounds weight to the
XaHkis used, which makes track far SUI
slsslior TO any that can be laid with the fat
rail. 1t does not. apparently, offer any
more serious obstacle to the passage
of vehicles than the ordinary fat rail. The
GAZETTE man was anxious 10 see Sam Hob
son. but he was not TO be found.
The city OF Waco is beautifully located.
and has an artesian water system that
is giving general satisfaction. Two
large standpipes give Il pressure
of sixty pounds for fire service, while in
the southwest part of the city a splendid
reservoir gives good pressure for all pur-
poses except fire. One feature of the arte-
sian system is the Jumbo well at Pad
gifts park and natatorium, which has
flow of 5000 gallons of warm water
every hour. The temperature is about 100
degrees and is admirably suited for bathing
purposes. In the pool it has beautiful
emerald green color, and the flow is such
that a constant stream is passing through
the pool.
The next point of interest visited was the
handsome club rooms of the Elks. Though
these quarters are only temporary. they af-
ford an inviting resort for the members of
the club and their guests, and are very
tastefully and appropriately fur
nished. A magnificent lawn, shaded
with 6ne live oaks, surrounds

The Next Excursion.

The Railway Employees club are prepar-
ing for an excursion to the famous Ar
buckle mountains in the Chickasaw
Nation, Indian Territory. This excursion
will be run over the Santa Fe, and excur-
sions from Henrietta, Denison, Sherman
and intermediate points will be run to join
it at Gainesville. This will take place
on Sunday, October %. H. Z. Thompson,
general passenger and ticket agent of the
Santa Fe, will be in the city to-day and the
matter will doubtless be closed. Mr..
Thompson is a strong friend of Fort Worth
and the Railway Employees club, and it is
not at all impro bable he may arrange to ac-
company the excursion.
The scenery along the line Of the Santa
Fee up the Washita river through the Ar
buckle mountains is said TO be some
thing rarely beautiful. A supply
of bread, barbecued meats and hot coffee
will be provided and there is little doubt
this can be made the most enjoyable excur-
sion yet given. The forests will have
donned their autumn garb and nature in all
her savage beauty will be ut her best
Further particulars will be given in The
GAZETTE from day to day.

MEMORIES OF WAR TIMES
TO BE REVIVED BY MILITARY
DISPLAYS AT CHICAGO.
The Unwilling of the Statue OF General
Grant and the Reunion of the
Army of the Tennessee

Chicago, on the 7th and 9th OF October, win
witness some military ceremonies attended
with unusual brilliancy and eclat, the IN
yelling of an equestrian statue to General
Grant and the reunion exercises and pa-
rade of the Society of the Army of the Ten
nessee. Two interesting occasions are thus
united, and the men who fought Grants
western battles and marched to victory
with Sherman will gather in numbers to
honor chieftain, and also to glorify u
dead commander while the grief for his
loss is still fresh in their hearts.
Grant made the army of the Tennessee,
and the surviving representatives of his
legions will parade at the head of the pa
geant summoned to lend military glory to
the fete which celebrates the deeds Of a
conqueror; Sherman guided it to spien-
did triumph, and with uncovered heads
his battle SCARED marshals and captains
will listen to the eulogies upon his splen-
did career. Sherman was president of the

THE GAZETTE: FIT WORTH, TEXAS. MONDAY, OCTOBER ~

1t and the whole presents an inviting APP
pear ance that must be seen to be fully
appreciated.
A visit to the new city hall,
Federal building, courthouse and
the Jail with its convenient ar
rangement of magnificent steel cages was in
order, and though The GAZETTE is not an
rangement of jails, it would seem
fitting that the inscription from
Dante's Inferno, abandon hope, all
We who enter here" should be painted over
the door, The suspension bridge, which
has been in continuous service for over
twenty years, is apparently good
for twenty years more. The
red rise'', and is pouring millions Of gal
Ions of water of dirty, brick-dust color
through its channel to the gulf at Velasco,
and was a source of considerable inter-
est to those who had never seen
this peculiar feature of this
peculiar river. The power house of the
Citizens line and its engines and dynamos
cOndensers which, it IS said, affect a saw
ing of 50 per cent on fuel. The competitive
battle between the electric light compan-
les is proving good thing for the con-
sumer.
Waco has many inviting features and
others that are not so inviting, and IL
seemed the general opinion of the Fort
Worth visitors that they much preferred
the Panther city. while according to the
Geyser city all its admirers claimed. Waco
is certainly in it, however. when the cotton
business is mentioned, as her three com
presses are kept busy.
The afternoon was very pleasantly and
enjOyably passed in strolling and riding
around the city and viewing the sights, and
all felt that Ia Pathway ENypr1nvaS' c1uh
had afforded them rare treat in this eX-
curSion.

southern part of Mexico, passed through
the city yesterday on his way to New York.
from which place he will proceed directly
to London. where he will hold a conference
with the English capitalists who are asso-

present time the company is in decidedly
embarrassed condition financially. and 1t
will be some time before the plans for COM
pleting the work can be carried out Mr..
Malo left the City OF Mexico on last Mon
day, it being alleged that he left behind an
Indebtedness of 100000, which he con-
tracted for as the representative of the rail
road company. One of the heaviest claims
against him is that of Gee Shoon and Wee
Puck. the Chinese contractors, which is for
100000. Mr. Malo stated to your CORE

raise the necessary cash capital to iquidate

the excursion to Waco to contest scientific
honors on the diamond with Jones Il God
loe's team, Waco's crack ball players. At
3 30 when play BALI was announced over
three hundred people, many ladies included,
had gathered at Padgitt's park to witness
the contest. The Colts had il their own
way from the start, though
both sides played ball with
vim. The Waco team was encouraged by
the applause of Wacoites and the roasting
Of the Colts by the Waco kids, while the
Fort Worth spectators were satisfied at see
ing their Representatives play good ball,
and did not resort to any outbursts of en-
thusiasm. The score stood at the eud of
the ninth inning II to / in favor of Fort
Worth, and the one run to the credit of the
Waco team was secured by u former Fort
Worth boy, Ben Richards, who reached the
home plate safely by some extraordinarily
good base running Following were the
