A woodchuck, the pet of an Auburn
family, has come out of winter quarters
and is amusing the family with the old
tricks in which he is as proficient as be-
fore alternating. Last fall the woodchuck,
which had been taught to beg when he
wanted anything, began to put in all OF
his time sitting and begging, and news
papers and pieces of cloth seemed to be
what he wanted. He would take them
and make off and then come back and beg
for more, and it was discovered that he
was building and lining hole in the
ground under the piazza. When the first
snowstorm Of the season came on Mr..
Woodchuck turned up missing and in
vestigation showed that he had gone into
his hole and pulled the hole in after him
so to speak. That was the last seen of him
until Friday when the woodchuck came
into the house looking little lank but as
tame as ever.

A DESTITUTE FAMILY.
A Case That Appeals 10 the Charity
of tho Public.

A lady reader of the Gazette yester
day called attention TO the condition of
destitute family by the name of
Roberts. who live at No. 1000 Harding
street in the eastern part of the city.
Upon Investigation IL was found that
Mrs. Roberts and her three children
are indeed In very destitute circum-
stances. Tho woman was found sick
and lying on "a poor pallet on the floor
and around her were the evidences Of
extreme poverty She said that she
came here last April and had been sick
and unable to do anything for living
She has two boys. aged II and 8. and n
little girl still younger The family
came from Arkansas and the husband
had been dead four years. Mrs
Roberts said they had been supplied
with food by the neighbors and had re-
ceived some medical attention. The
people In the nelghborhood say they
have clothed the children and supplied
the family with food for several
months, While the woman and her
children do not seem to be suffering for
the actual necessities Of life, yet their
home Is 30 squalld and entirely desti-
tute of comfort that the case certainly
appeals to the charity Of the public.

WILL THE ROADS UNITE
is THE QUESTION THAT Sow PRE-.
sENTs ITSELF TO THE AT
TENTION OF THE PUBLIC.
Col. J. Peter smith Wants 10 Har-
duce the Hest Results.

A great deal Of interest was mani
tested yesterday in the Union depot
situation after the announcement was
made in the Gazette yesterday morn
Ing that General Manager Yoakum of
the Santa Be wanted $4,000 from Fort
Worth In order to complete the sum OF
$4,000 to erect Il depot for the use of
the Santa Fe and certain other rail-
roads. The announcement attracted a
great deal of attention. and very vari-
Gus were the opinions expressed. 1t Is
said in behalf OF the Texas and Pa
ciiic that the key 10 the situation is in
their possession, and that a Union de-
pot will certainly be built. but that 1t
will be built by the Texas and Pacific
road and upon site selected by that
road and no where else.
II MIR. Yoakum wants to go ahead
and build a depot for the Santa BE,
let him do 30. but he will not ind
that any other OF the roads that enter
Fort Worth viii consider 1t eNpedient
to follow suit and join with the santa
Zee, and he will have to stand ON a
lone hand In the enterprise. This Is
the solution of the question by those
who look at IL from a Texas and Pa
sion seems to prevail very generally
among the people Of Fort Worth that
single large union depot Is what is de-
sired ana what the city must have. and
this opinion on the subject was free
ly expressed by many who discussed
the subject yesterday.
Col. j Peter Smith was interviewed
last night by a Gazette reporter. and
was asked II there had been any eff
forts made yesterday to secure the &c..
900 Mr.. YoalSum says he wants. ana
Col. Smith replied; Il do not favor any
agitation OF the union depot question
which win tend TO place the railroads
at loggerheads; II we get union de-
pot more can be accomplished by har-
mouy among the roads Interested in
the matter than in any other way. 1

all the roads can concentrate and do
not think II viii be good policy tO d.
vide them between two dcpots. As to
Mr.. Yoakum's proposition. as far US
know nothing OF a definite nature has
vet been accomplished, and the whole
thing is In q state OF chaos 1 do not
know how 1t got out that certain cltl-
zens had said that they would put up
property In order to enable Mr.. Yoa-
kun to carry out his plan for a depot
Tor the Santa Fe and several other
roads. II the plan Is 70 be carried out
/ the $4,000 can be raised"
Col. Smith again insisted that he

would tend to array the different rail-
roads against each other, what was

! As to Mr.. Ioalium's return today
and any conference with him, Col
Smith said he knew nothing of II.
