FORT WORTHAAD SUBURBAN
WHAT THE GAZETTE REPORTERS
FOUND YESTERDAY.



From n voluminous intervening pc
tition filed late saturday afternoon 1t
appears that something terrible has
happened to the property OF the Fort
Worth and Denver railroad company.
The substance OF the petition stated
briefly IL that II Ia sought to have the
receivers appointed u few months ago
7emoycd ON the ground that their
appointment was fraudulently made
for the purpose OF preventing the pay
ment of certain claims and judgments
against the company by removing their
property beyond the power OF execu-
lion which was accomplished by plac-
Ing II In the hands OF the courts.
When Mr.. j. d. Moore. one OF the
receivers. was approached. he did not
seom TO attach much Importance TO
the suit ana referred the reporter TO
the legal department OF the road for
u statement in regard to the matter
Mr.. Meek of the firm Of Stanley,
SDoonta a. Meek, attorneys for the
road. was then seen, He said that he
did not apprehcnd any great trouble
from the suit unless something more
should develop than had appeared IN
the petition. The parties who had In
Htituted II. he said. sought thereby to
recover claims amounting In all 10
only n few hundred dollars II that
WAS their only object there was way
provided by statute. without resortlng
10 the extraordinary proceeding Of
seeking to have the receivers removed
and the title 10 the property vested
HEnin In the railroad company In order
that II might be made subject to the
claims which II was sought 10 collect.
The proper method, according 10 Mr..
Mcek'a view, would have been for the
fntcrvenorH to file with the master In
rhanccry n statement ~ their claims.
setting up that there was money sum
Client belonging TO the company to pay
the same II could have been classified
in due course with all the other
claims against the property and would
have come In for allowance as n claim
OF the sixth olnss under the statute.
The interVenor had, he said. also set
up the facts stated In the original bill
for the appointment Of n receiver COM
corning other claims than their own
which aggregated $4,000, In conncc-
tlon with this rehearsal Of those facts
he Ind asserted that they did not COM
ntituto grounds sufficient for the APP
polntment Of n receiver This Mr.
Moeka said was true, but he said the
original bill had also stated other
causes which were amply sufficient for
tho appointment of the receivers M
had been done, on the whole. II APP

losing any sleep on account Of the suit
instituted by Mr.. A. NJ, Carter and

History of . Great Diamond.

The imperial treasury of Austria
contains the Florentine diamond, one
of the finest of the world, noted for its
luster and brilliancy 1t is said to be
worth four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and has romantic history 1t
once belonged to Charles the Bold,
duke of Burgundy, who was rather
careless in guarding his treasures. He
went to battle one day with this dia-
mond in his pocket, and the result
was that he lost it. The diamond lay
on the road and Swiss soldier picked
it up, and. looking upon it as q piece
Of glass, threw it down again, but as it
fell the suns rays caught it, and the
soldier, thinking it q pretty trinket,
concluded to carry it along. Shortly
after this he showed it to a priest.
The priest admired it and gave him
two shillings for it. The priest sold it
to a jeweler for two and sixpence, and
rich merchant paid the jeweler twen-
ty-fve hundred dollars for it. The
merchant sold it to an Italian duke for
one thousand dollars advance of his
price. and the duke sold it to one of
the popes, who paid sixty thousand
dollars. After q number of other ad-
ventures it came. into the possession of
a grand duke who married Empress
Maria Theresa, of Austria, and through
her it came to the imperial treasury.

Lilo After Forty.

The best half of life is in front Of
the man of forty if he be anything Of
q man. The work he will do will be
done with the hand of q master, and
not of a raw apprentice. The trained
intellect does not see men as trees
walking,' but sees everything clearly
and in just measure. The trained tenn
per does not rush at work like a
blind bull at haystack, but advances
with the calm and ordered pace Of
conscious power and deliberate deter
mination. To no man is the world so
new and the future so fresh as to him
who has spent the early part of his
manhood in striving to understand the
deeper problems of science and life,
and who has made some Roadway
toward comprehending them. To him
the commonest things are rare and
wonderful, both in themselves and as
parts of beautiful and intelligent
whole. Such thing as staleness in
life and its duties he cannot under
stand. Knowledge is always opening
out before him in wider expanses and
more commanding heights. The pleas
ures of growing knowledge and in
creasing power makes every year of
his life happier and more hopeful than
the last.

Two of Queen victoris's Fads.

. Queen Victoria's conservative fond.
ness for the things she is used to is
shown in the fact that the little ivory
paper knife with which to this day she
cuts the pages of her new books was
in her possession when she was little
princess. The cabins of the royal
yacht are still frightened with the
same old-fashioned rosebud chintz
which her dead husband liked. The
queen has q particular love for fresh
air and sits in rooms so cold that no
American woman could endure them.
"A fortnight ago she had her summer
garden tent taken out of its winter
quarters and sat in it in the garden for
two hours or more for several consecu.
tive days, signing official documents
