The Democratic Club.

The meeting last night at the courthouse
was called to order at S O'Clock, and the at
tendance was representative.
Senator Carter introduced resolution
contemplating important notifications in
the alien land law passed by the last leg
islature. The changes proposed are
those that have been prominently discussed
throughout the state, and that due con-
sideration might be given the subject the
resolution went over until the next mast
ing, on the third Friday night in this month.
A motion was made by Mr.. Gregg and
amended by Mr. Senter agitat-
ing the call for convention to
nominate representative Of this
Pictorial district. composed of Tarrant, Dali
las and Rockwell counties. which was car
ried after debate in which many partici-
pated. 1t seems that some politicians in
Rockwell and Dallas are trying to combine
against Tarrant and put up a candidate of
their own for certain purposes. But the
equities of the situation have
belonged to Tarrant for a
long time and the several
issues involved in the canvass will not in
cline the mass of voters in the district to
follow blindly certain leaders, if Tarrant
county will assert her rights. Anyhow, the
question deserves proper attention, and
may develop unlooked-for results. The
chairman of the district, Sam
Canty, Esq, will be requested
to make the call for convention
Nearly all of the executive committee
were appointed, and it was agreed that the
few vacancies be filled at the following
meeting, when all parts of the city are
more fully represented on the roll.
A large number We're admitted to men,
bership, and the club is fast manifesting its
usefulness.
1t was provided that the meeting here
after shall be at 80 instead of at o'clock,
and that the hour be punctually observed.

is the reopening of the Merchants national
bank on September 9th last, with its
former cashier, A. B. Smith, still retaining
his position. The enactment by the
Twenty-second legislature of what is
widely known as the alien land law, impell-
ing as it did the withdrawal from the Gus
tody of sudden. very large balances OF
money maintained in the usual and regular
course of business to the credit of alien cor
porations, in sense was primarily the
fruitful source of woes unnum bered. and
chiefly the cause of events which led up to
the disaster with which the Merchants ma
tional bank was, when in the flush of pride
due to long line of brilliant achievements
overtaken, is incontestably true. Between
July 20, when the bank closed, to day OF
opening, there were collected of the bank S
loans about S436, 0O0-more than half of its
outstanding bills receivable. The bank
now has paid up capital of s250,000 and
surplus of $4,000. On the day of opening, its
deposits were 1886 900, and cash ia sight ex-
change, S252, coo. The new president is A.
P. Luckett and A B. Smith, cashier. Mr..
Smith was unanimously reelected, which
is an Endorsement over which any man
should feel especially proud. We congratu-
late Mr.. Smith.

Thursday night the driver of Pacific
express wagon started for the Cotton Belt
depot He was unaware that repairs were
under way cu the bridge, and being III the
timber, the night was as dark us as stack
of black cats. He drove against a rope
which had been stretched rs 4 guard with
such force that he was thrown from his
wagon and quite seriously hurt. Had he
driven a hundred feet further he would
have gone into the Trinity, which at this
point is fiftv feet or more below the road

assembled last evening at the home of Mrs.
Ed +. Warren on Lamar street, the occa-
sion being an elegant dining commemoration
of the removal of the Texas Worlds fair
headquarters from this city Mrs.
the occasion, has been connected
as on important adjunct with the
Worlds fair Office in this city since the es-
Enlistment of the headquarters here as
the chief of the department of education,
and she took this means of emphasizing her
appreciation of those with whom she has
been associated in the work, and of COM
memorating the severance of official ties
that have been of most pleasant and
congenial character, as several of
her recent associates in the
Worlds fair work will leave to-day for
Waco to establish the headquarters in that
city. The entertainment was in the nature
of dining. The menu was elegant, and
with the wine came the usual exuberance
of good cheer, and many and sincere were
the expressions of good will toward the
the severance of such pleasant asso-
Citations. Upon pretty hand-painted
souvenir cards, upon which were printed
the names of each of the guests, were neat
little notices expressing an abiding faith in
the Worlds fair work. There were pres
ent besides the hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Huff
man, Col. and Mrs. Wynne, Capt NJ. B.
Lloyd, Miss Warren, Miss Hendricks, Miss
Pauline Wynne, Mr.. Stubs, Mr. Davis, Mr.
Wright of Houston, Col. Hurley, c. s.
Hardy and MIR. D. D. Bryan of the Worlds
fair association.
After dinner the guests and hostess made
up theater party and attended the per-
Torrance of Hermann at the opera house
The occasion was one that will long be
remember by all participating.

Texas as Steel-Producing state-The
Grades of Ore.
The following letter to the president of
the Chamber of Commerce by Judge Lynch
will be of interest, especially as it calls at
teution to the possibilities of Texas as q
steel-producing state and for the location of
factories for the manufacture of articles
made of iron and steel.
FORT WORTH, TEX. Nov s. 1891.
Mai. X NJ Van Zandt, President Chamber Of
Commerce, and Martin Casey, Esq, Fort
Worth:
DEAR SIRs-Complying with your desire
for more specific information in connection
with the subject matter of our recent con-
versatiou regarding the possibilities of
Texas as 4 steel producing state, l take
pleasure in submitting the following:
In the county of Llano and those adjoin-
ing in this state to the southwest of here,
there exist large bodies of magnetic iron
ore commonly called ''Bessemer ore,n
owing TO the susceptibility of such ores be-
ing converted into steel by the Bessemer
process. The ore generally appears to lay
in veins, readily traceable by the:foat rock
on the surface.
Numerous tests including borings with
diamond drills, trenching, tunneling and
eXcavating generally have been made,
switch go to prove the existence of this min
Seral in apparently ineXhaustible quantities.
The most important working which l eX-
amined there showed a shaft fifty feet in
depth, sunk through the wall rock of red
laurentian granite Immediately on the out
side of the. vein, from the bottom of which
A-Fdhcry was driven, prosecuting the vein
at right singles and developing twenty-five
feet of mineral by actual measurement, the
vein extending upwards to within five feet
of the surface of the ground, as developed
by trenching At the surface, and to an I'LL
known DEPTH the roof, sides and floor of

able, samples of which took at the time,

II is said by those who know, that the
work of taking up the outstanding city
scrip Will begin not before next Wednes-
day, rs there is at least four days work on
the check books, etc, and that by the time
these are finished up the money for the sale
of the bonds viii all be in the city treas
urerS possession, and payments will begin,
rumorS to the contrary notwithstanding.
II will perhaps be Thursday, but Wednes-
day Is the DAY set. City officials say that if
those doubling that this money can be used
as above indicated will take the trouble to
investigate the matter, there will be no
cause for misleading statements being made.

Tarrant's Roads.

1t has been suggested by one of Fort
Worth's most prominent business men that
it would be good idea for the business
men of the city to raise purse of $50 to
500 and place it IL the hands of THE GA
zETTE: this money to be given as prem
ium to the person writing an article on the
road Improvement question who should
suggest the best and most practical plan for
improving the roads under the road-taX
law. A sample of different roads can be
seen close to the city. The one known as
the Joe Henderson road is faulty, in that it
has no slopes. the sides of the fill being per-
pendicular. Two wagons can pass, but two
loads of hay cannot. This WILL of course,
wear down in time so the desired slope is
given, and the road will then be all that
could be desired; but this is not what is
wanted. Out by the stove works is another
piece of road that is very nearly perfect.
The object is to provoke discussion of the
road question and the best plan of max
ing the roads what is desired.
The discussion would not only result
in obtaining many valuable suggestions as
to what the roads should be but would
awaken an interest in their construction.
The commissioners would study the best
location for the roads and could notify the
farmers where the line would be SO they
could build their houses, barns, etc, ac-
cordingly, and though the road might not be
built for three years, when 1t was con-
structed the farmers would not find all
their farm buildings awry. The building
of graveled roads will be of more Importance
10 Fort Worth than the building of line of
railway. as it gives the farmers better
means of getting to the city and will stimu-
late the settlement of vacant lands. The
building of graveled roads to the county
line will result in drawing the trade of at
least a third of the adjoining country, as
the better roads leading to Fort Worth
would induce them to come here instead Of
going elsewhere

The Five Cent Savings Bank VIII Not
Have to Close Its Doors

BosToS, MASS, Nov. 6-The run on the
Five Cent savings bank continues this morn
ing but in a smaller degree. President Evans
says: The trustees have no intention now
of taking any action under the sixty day
clause, and the bank will pay cash to de-
positors when they desire it. The run is
about over. Looking over our books we
find that many people who have Withdrawn
their accounts are the ignorant class, mostly
German Jews, and some could not write
their own names. Less than l per cent of
deposits were withdrawn the day the run
was largest, and some who withdrew have
to-day returned to deposit again.
