Runor of the Increase Yof Capacity of tho
Fort Worth Fackery.
]. S. Andrews, the well-known livestock
man drew a GAZETTE reporter aside yester-
sday afternoon and informed him that there
was very strong rumor afioat, and he
thought there was great deal of truth In
it, that a number Of the most prominent
cattlemen Of Texas were greatly interested
in the present mammoth packery at Fort
Worth, and that move was on foot to en-
large the plant to a million dollar concern,
and more than treble its present capacity
These gentlemen are wide awake, far-seeing
men. They see that Fort Worth is the cattle
center of Texas; that she holds the key to
the situation, and they know that the present
plant cannot by any means keep up with
the constant stream or orders pouring in
upon it from all parts of Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Indian Territory, md even from
New York, San Francisco and England. It
is said the money Is on hand for this pur-
pose, and if the people of Fort Worth will
keep their perceptive faculties in their nor
NAL condition they will, before long, hear
something drop.

Two Distinguished Texans Who Can't See

Col. John R. Hoxie and Hon. T J. Brown
met each other for the first time yesterday
afternoon with a number of mutual friends
in a room on the second foor of the Pick
wick hotel and had very pleasant and
friendly chat on the political issues of the
campaign, including Hogg and the commits
sion. Both were in favor of Texas pro-
gress, the only difference being the means
of attaining this progre IS and incidental
prosperity. The colonel roundly scored
1.-THE Tyler crowd as he termed it, but
was not against the commission; only he
wanted justice done to the roads and re-
turn to the old-time principles of Democ-
racy. The Hon. T. J Brown defended
Governor Hogg, his administration and the
present commission in his usual able man
ner, and when the gentlemen parted Col.
HoXie said that, after all, there was very
little difference of opinion between them,
only he wanted governor from Texas, and
not from Tyler.

BOWIE, TEX, March 1.-THE Demo-
cratic executive committee met on Feb
ruary a. and II is said that at that meeting
county convention was called for the pur-
pose Of nominating county officers, but
from nsome cause the proceedings have
never showed up" and it is supposed that
the ''mugwump" has got in his work.
Grand Master John Watson of the A. F.
and 4. NJ. has just finished a course of lee
lures here 10 that fraternity. On the
last meeting night, after the close of the
lectures, regular old-fashioned stag
supper and banquet was INDUCED in by the
Masonic mem bers- a vote of thanks was
rendered Bro. Watson by the lodge. After
supper several members chaperoned by
Grand Pa Da Shay Riley, were duly in
structed IN the mysteries of the Grand
Orient, and are now full-fedged oriental

REVERSED AND RENAMED.
Tarrant County Will Have a May Term
of Court.

of Court.
The telegraphic supreme court report
from Galveston received at The GAZETTE
Office last night contained this line:
Reversed and remanded-Williams VS..
Taylor, from Tarrant"
That means that Tarrant county will have
a May term OF court
On account of the legislative act chang
ing times Of holding court in this county
not being enacted as required by the con-
ssitution, it was held by lawyers that the
law establishing the May term was in
operative. That was the view taken by
Judge Beckham, ana it was agreed to ad-
1ourn the February term to September. A
test case was made up, however, one Will
Jams getting out mandamus against Cir
cult Clerk Taylor, which, being decided by
Judge Beckham in favor of Taylor, was
carried up to the supreme court. The re-
versal of the lower courts decision means
that in the minds of the supreme court the
law in question is constitutional.

Mr.. T. B. Burbridge, one of Tarrant

Yes" said Mr.. Burbridge, 'sit was a
personal fight between Quincy and Fergu-
son. Ferguson was used as a tool by the
element that wanted to down Quincy, but
they failed. If the convention had not
got together when it did, and had waited a
day longer, there would have been bolt

The Australian system has many strone

Third partyitcs will make this election
law reformation an important issue in the
two campaign Of next year. Many Demo

that some change will he made in the near

constitutional convention might he called
and proper restrictions placed upon the
franchise. This suggestion was made and
strongly advocated four or five years ago
by some of Mr.. Blaine's intimate friends
in Virginia. They now favor the same
sort Of policy-of course, for reasons
entirely different from those which in
