1t was our privilege Tuesday to meet
Mr.. VIM. Jay and his excellent family
at their new home northwest of the city,
and to explore, in company with num-
Der of other visitors, the charming in
terror of the beautiful mansion which is
so well fitted for the exercise Of that
generous hospitality for which the pro-
prietor is so widely noted. No man,
perhaps, in Emporia, has labored moro
assiduously for the promotion of her
interests than MIR. Jay, and it seems a
fitting thing that one who has been iden-
titled SO prominently with the material
advancement of the city, should crown
a career of such abundant pabIicI spirit
by the erection of palatial dwelling
which is an honor Ia the tIjWti' and a
monument of the builders industry and
faithful application to business.
To attempt description, in detail, of
Mr. jays delightful home would be to
venture upon an undertaking for which
we feel ourselves scarcely fitted, and Its
attractions after all that might be said of
NC oCSd " nc
ed. Suffice it to say that the promise of
the handsome exterior is more than real
lied by the beauty and convenience of its
internal appointments, and that from
the exquisite vestibule with its magnifi-
cent doors and beautiful arch, to the adj
mirably arranged kitchen, every apart
ment reflects the symmetry of a plan
whose consummation is an ideal home,
embellished with the best handi-
work by the most skilled artisans.
From the roof OF the house, which is
gained by means of steps leading to the
observatory, an enchanting view of the
surrounding country spreads out in all
directions, and with the aid of power
full opera glass the houses of Americas
are plainly visible from that point of OBJ.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jay were visited Tues
day by scores of friends who were unan.
imous in their expressions of admiration
for the lovely home among whose de
lights 1t is so fitting that the declining
years of such faithful laborers in life'i

Says the Eureka Herald: The st.
Louis and San Francisco passenger
trains now run at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour, including the stops. This
is the fastest schedule time made by any
road in Kansas, and enables US to get TO
st. Louis in less than twenty-four hours.
1t is probably the best built road in the
state, having steel rails and heavy oak
ties, and therefore they can run at
higher rate of speed without difficulty
The Santa Fee branch of the Atchison

through an apparently barren country
covered with stunted cedars, tall tree
cacti, and sage brush, and cut up by
deep ravines and arroyos. The railroad
winds about like snake. Sometimes

Republican Mass Meeting
at EMPORIA, on
SATURDAY.. October 9. 1880.
Tho Accident at Plymouth.

The Aurelius Carter that was mention
ed in last weeks NEWS as being badly
hunt, is son of c. N. Carter, of North
Carolina, vino was here the summer of
1860, and entered land near Cottonwood
Falls and bought the 10. Fuller farm
four miles east of Emporia, WITH presl
pect of moving TO Kansas, but the war
coming on he was not able to dispose of
his property there, consequently he never
came. He isa grandson of John Carter,
SEN, of Plymouth, where he has been
making his home mostly, and is about
% years of age. lt
On Saturday evening, the s5ffi, he got
on his grandfather's Highlander horse
and started TO bring in the cows. When
a few rods from the house he met with
other boys, and some one bantered him
for a race, which he accepted, and about
the time ne had gotten under good head
way the horse ran against a cow that was
crossing the road and turned complete
somerset, passing over the rider, and
in the fall managed to break the
alvaolar process of the upper
jaw with teeth entirely loose;
besides smashing up and fracturing
nearly all the other bones of the face.
DR. Hibben was Immediately summoned
who pronounced it a bad break; after
wards DR.. Jacobs, of Emporia. and DIR.
Pugh, of the Falls, were called in and
they agreed to procure the assistance of
DR.. Young, dentist, and have some plates
made to hold the broken parts to their
places. His sufferings can be better i'm
agined than described. He is young
man of good character and q good
scholar, educated mostly at the Friends
boarding school, n, c., and was employed
for more than year in Summer1eld
high school as teacher of Greek and
Latin, where he gave good satisfaction.
He attended the State Normal school
one term, and has first class certificate
from both Lyon and Chase counties
and had a school engaged at the time OF
the accident which he was to commence
in few days. We are glad to inform
the public that, though very badly hurt
young Carter is improving, and there
are good prospects of his recovery.
Truly, Nv.

On Saturday night as Mr.. Western,
who has recently bought the Fishback
farm southeast of the city, was driving
home with his family, his team stumbled
into ditch near the Fowler place, where
the pipe that used to run from the Santa
Fee water tank to the windmill is being
taken up, and one of the horses was kill
ed. The night was so dark and rainy
that neither the driver nor horses could
see the road, and hence the accident.
The occupants of the wagon were much
frightened, though happily the damage
was confined to the loss of the horse
1t would be well to require the employ
ment of danger signals wherever the
road is torn up as in the above case, and
lighted lantern should always be
placed at such localities for the protec
ton of the public.
