TIRED OF LIFE.
j. M. FITZGERALD SUICIDES BY
THE MORPHINE ROUTE.
Becoming Despondent He Calmly swal-
lows Ten Grains of the
Fatal Drug.

Yesterday morning early a case'of sui
eide was reported to the officers, and A
zETTE news-gatherer was soon on hand to
ascertain the facts. The unfortunate was
a laborer by the name of ]. NJ. Fitzgerald,
and with his family lived at 1011 Monroe
street, near the planning mills. The particu-
lars Of the sad AFFAIR were difficult to learn
from the members of the family other than
Fitzgerald had been drinking for few
days past and had complained of not feeling
well for a week.
Yesterday morning he arose about z
O'Clock and asked his wife for Is cents,
which amount was given him. He said he
wanted to get morning today. He was
gone from home but short time when he
returned, drank some coffee kissed his
children, then threw himself carelessly
upon the bed and became unconscious i'm
medlately. 1t is supposed that he took
morphine in the coffee His mysterious
actions caused suspicicion, and H. p.
Shiel. who lives near by, was called in. 1t
was at once noticed all was not right, and
DR.. c. a. Parker was summoned. but could
do nothing to save the man, he having been
unconscious from the time he fell across the
bed. Usual remedies in such cases were re-
sorted TO, but to no avail.
Justice McClung viewed the remains and
investigated the affair. 1t was found that
Fitzgerald had pure hased from the Texas
Thirteenth streets, ten grains of morphine,
for which he paid 10 OF the 10 cents that
his wife had given him. The justice caIue
to the conclusion that deceased came to his
death by morphine administered by mis- own
hands.
The deceased leaves a wife and seven
children, one of whom is married He was
fifty-two years of age and is said to have
been an industrious, honorable man, having
been employed on the street commission
er's force, where he has worked the past
year, but by profession was an engineer.
He was a member of the Knights of
Honor and was in good standing; by his
membership with this secret order his
family will receive $1,000
Fitzgerald was native of Ireland, having
been born in Limerick
The family of deceased could give no
reason for the rash act, other than it is
supposed he became Respondent over
money matters.
The body was taken in charge by W. G.
Turner & Co., underwriters.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence at O'Clock p. m. to-day.

alone could work here. The fact is negroes
never worked here nor anywhere else az
hard as white farmers do, and never made
as much. This is proven here in the Jaini-
son settlement, near Oyster creek, on
where white farmers have congregated,
and where they have worked half as hard
as they would have done to have attained
the same success in Central, Northern,
Western or Northeast Texas, or any of the
pioneer parts of other states.
The advent of ''small'' land owners here
is creating an immense change in other
things besides the yield Of the land.

with complete success. y vein of the tragic

Robbery at Denison.
Special to the Gazette.

DESIsoN, GRAYsoN COUNTY, TEX, March
2.-Last night burglar forced an entrance
through window into a private boarding
house on Rusk avenue in this city and made
haul of iewelry and money to the amount
of $500, taking two valuable gold watches.
The man made his entrance into room oc-
cupied by two young ladies conformity, tele-
graph operators, who had attended dance
the evening before. 1t was about 4 a. m.
when one of the young ladies awakened and
discovered the man in their room. Seeing
she was awake the man, brandishing large
knife before her face, told her to be silent
or hewould kill her. She tainted, aud when
she recovered the man had disappeared
This morning the young lady is Frustrated
and historical. There is no clew to the
identity of the man, yet the police believe
they know him

A MANUFACTURING CITY.
THAT is WHAT FORT WORTH
COULD BE MADE.
Figures from the Manchester Cotton Mill.
An Industry That Ought to EN-
ploy 10000 Operatives.

The Manchester cotton mills-Manchester
is suburb of Fort Worth, on the Texas
and Pacific road-have been in operation
about six months. To-day they are giving
employment to eighty hands, and the daily
output is from $4,000 to $4,000 yards of
cloth,
A yard of cloth sells for Z cents.
1t weighs 3 ounces and grains.
Five yards weighs 10 ounces and Is
grains.
A pound of cotton, that sells for 6 cents,
will more than make five yards of cloth,
worth 80 cents.
These are the figures furnished to THE
GAZETTE by man who knows what he is
talking about.
There is no lack of market. The entire
product OF the Fort Worth and Dallas mills
is handled by the wholesale dealers of those
two cities. Ten times as much could be
sold, II the mills could make it. They are
running on full time, and often run at night,
in their effort to keep up with orders.
Wherever the homemade goods are
brought IN competition with the product of
Eastern mills, the foreign article is driven
out.
Now l want to quote you some figures"
said the gentleman who furnished The GA
zETTE with this information '.Texas
raises about :, GOO, 900 bales of cotton, worth
about SS0,0O0,0 600. If this cotton lint were
tAduSlHuISO " CObtO1 ClOLQ mere al nome,
each bale would be worth four or five
times as much, and instead of the crop
bringing US $50, 900, 600 it would bring US
from $500, 0O0,0O0 to S4O0, 900, COO. Think of
what magnificent thing that would be for
Texas! You wouldn't hear anything about
people hunting in vain for work-if they
wanted to find it. Why, Texas ought to
have 100000 hands in its cotton mills. and
Fort Worth ought to have 10000 of these u
But how about the relative cost of man
ufactureln asked the reporter. "Can the
Texas mills, paying high prices for coal,
compete with the Eastern mills, where coal
is cheap and water power abundantg'
There Is an advantage in the saving of
freight that more than balances this" was
the reply. by actual experience it is found
the saving of freight charges from Texas
to the Eastern mills viii more than pay for
the fuel consumed. The freight charges on
a bale Of cotton from Fort Worth TO East
ern points IS 81. A mill in Fort Worth that
uses ten bales a day saves $40 a day on
freight, and the total cost of fuel will not
begin to equal this amount.
Il tell iyou,H continued this gentleman
with the emphasis OF earnestness, 1--WE
must have manufactures to make a city of
Fort Worth, and the manufacture of cotton
goods is ours If we will only go ous and
take It. II pays, and there is no reason, as
| said before, why Fort Worth should not
now have tin-bu .ket brigade Il, 900 strong

ties. For nearly fifteen years, however it
has been used as a stable and will soon be
pulled down to give room for a structure
that will cost over $40, 600
Col. Jerre Warren, one of the Oldest and
probably the best known planter in Braz-
oria county, is in the city to-day, and in
forms me that five families of white farm
ers have arrived during the past ten DAYS
on his up-river plantation, couple Of
miles above the town of Brazoria. where he
and his neighbors have more than $500
acres of tirst-class kwell-lmproved farms
which they wish to rent or sell on long
timeand easy terms to white men only. This
is no isolated instance in this county.
The others are too numerous to mention,
and TIE Gazette correspondent earnestly
advises projecting farmers, whether rent
ers or buyers, to take look at this section
before deciding upon casting their lot else
where.

It must be admitted that this wheel bust
ness IS rapidly growing into a gigantic
business at Fort Worth. due to our charm
ingly-smooth chalk-paved streets. 1t is
business here to stay, undoubtedly. One
can almost conclude that it is a return of
the good old times of our great-grand-
mothers. when the wheel was cutting such
an important figure in domestic life But
the wheels of to-day spinning so merrily
on our streets differ somewhat from those
old wheels which spun in the house only,
and of which the old poet wrote:

AS she stretched the fleecy roll,
And for every tine she stretched 1t
