About three O'Clock Friday afternoon
last an alarm of fire sounded, which
gathered a crowd about burning shed
and hay-stack, the property of c. A.
Brown, who lives on the east edge of
town. A little child started a bonfire
and probably said to itself, for the first
time, ''behold how great matter a little
fire kindleth."
The fire engine sped to the scene with
Tom Fleming at the front and a promi-
nent real estate man on the rear end of
the machine. The boys worked nobly
and the fire department the hay-stack
was nearly subdued, when a black
smoke was noticed in the extreme north
east part of town. All haste was made
to get the paraphernalia to fire number
two. The house was small one-story
frame, occupied by Mrs. Ellen Sullivan,
a colorcd lady. The fire is supposed to
have started from a match which was
intended to light darkey's pipe only.
Perhaps a case of consequential dam
ages. Mrs. Sullivan, who was away at the
time working for neighbor, says that
there had been no fire in the house since
Thursday. The fire was under such
Roadway when help arrived that it was
impossible to save the building and only
few household goods were gotten out
Mrs. Sullivan is widow who works out
for her living and the loss falls heavily
upon her. A subscription for her relief
has been started, and about fifty dollars
raised by A. N. Hanna.
A broken leg for Jordon Carson, the
driver of the city team, makes incident
number three of this list. When the
alarm of fire sounded he was at the rear
of George Bragunier's new building He
hurried toward the engine house, but in
turning the corner of Fourth avenue and
Commercial street one of the horses fell
with the above result to the teamster.
On the same day, near the junction
of the railroads, there was an unfortun
ate shooting affray A proprietor OF
one of our hotels, it is said, began a
quarrel with the clerk of the Fuller
House. The latter, Eugene Smith, drew
revolver to settle the dispute or the
disputer. An outsider, named William
Dewie, but better known as the "Iron
Jaw" man, an employee of loves livery
stable, playing the part of a peacemaker
received a serious wound. The bullet
entered the abdomen and struck the hiI
bone, followed it around and lodged
somewhere near the spine The ball has
not yet been found. The wound is of &
serious nature, but the patient, under the
skillful treatment of DR.. Trueworthy, i,
doing as we'll as could be expected.

About Freight Rates.


When Col Goddard, the present gen.
eraI freight agent of the A. T. 81 s..
F. railroad, was here some months ago,
we could hardly credit the statement that
the two railroads had pooled in such a
way as to make freight rates to and from
Emporia higher than to small stations
at larger distances. This sort of work
on the part of the roads would really jus
tify the cancellation of the bonds issued
on their account, for those bonds were
voted on the plea that two roads would
give us lower freight. The final result
of such railroad management we will not
undertake to predict. To show the
freight agent how Emporia is discrim-
mated against, we publish the following
note appended to bill of goods shipped
last month to a firm in this city. The
eastern shippers had contracted to lay
the goods down here at a certain price,
and to save freight shipped them to
AmerIcus, nine miles west of us, and
paid for their carriage back to Emporia,
rather than pay the pooling rates charged
to EmpOrIa. The documents can be
seen on application. The shippers wrote {:
1--WE shipped the above to Americas in
order to save freight. You can send an
order to the railroad agent at Americas,
and have the goods forwarded to EmpO-
ria. Endorse amount of freight on back
of the enclosed nOte.'

EDITORS EMPoRIA News. = In my
statement as it appeared in NEWS and
Ledger there are two or three errors, one
of which ought to be corrected. Mr.. Nc
Cune will recollect that our interview
was hurried one, as / had been sent
lect also that 1 hesitated in answering
some of This querries-querries concern
ing some little details which had occur
ed two or three weeks before the fire,
and which were not important enough
at that time to have any permanent i'm
preston upon the memory and conse-
quently were soon forgotten. After a
careful reflection, am enabled to make
the following correction: After they
had delivered about fifty or sixty tons
of coal it seemed to me a very large heap
to be packed together, and l began to
feel a little afraid it would take fire. /
spoke TO Mr. Pomeroy somewhat like
this: II wonder if there is any danger
that coal will take fire." and it was to
this remark that he answered somewhat
like this: Il should not think so, as the
weather is getting cool now" In my
interview with Mr. McCune 1 mistaking-
ly stated that the above remark was
made by Mr.. POmeroy after l handed
him the warm lump of coal. When l
handed him the warm lump he gave or
ders to scatter it, which l did. / had
heard some complaints about gas in
rooms above two or three days before
the fire, but l did not think much of
that, as had heard such complaints be-
fore. The furnace would sometimes
give out gas. did not throw water on
coal as had heard and read that damp
coal was more apt to ignite. I am GER
tain though that the coal room was
damp. 1t took long dry spell to dry
it. 1t had no kind of flooring. do not
pretend to understand the chemistry of
spontaneous combustion, but l have
learned by observation, LIST, that it is
most apt to occur in fine coal, closely
packed in great quantities. I'd. That
removing and scattering such coal thinly
even after it has taken fire, will put ii
out, just as burning coal taken out of a
stove and left on a shovel will go out.

THE NORMAL.

what the Papers Say About II.
The Normal method has been practi-
cal and successful, the school has been
doing good work. Though State in
stitution it has not been fostered and en-
couraged in a manner adequate TO the
results accomplished. 1t is to be hoped
that the building will be rebuilt at the
earliest practical day, and the good work
of disseminating enlarged and enlight-
ened views go on.-Hartford Enterprise.
The loss is estimated at 100000
The building cost $S5, 900. The Normal
school was one of the finest structures
in Kansas, and was the pride both of
Emporia and the State. The fire Origi-
mated in the engine room, through spOn-
taneous combustion. - Wilson County
Citizen.
The loss is heavy one and will be
felt all over this section of the country.
We understand there was no insurance
on the building, and what will be done
in regard TO rebuilding the school is I'M
certain. The present term will be COM
pleted, church buildings having been
secured for that Cottonwood
Falls Leader.
The building cost 49,, 900, and its de

SAD DIsAsTER.-The beautiful state
Normal school building, at Emporia,
was destroyed by fire last Saturday
morning. The loss is a heavy one, the
building being worth about 100000.
The fire was caused by spontaneous COM

the building. We have not learned
whether the building was insured or not.
