TIE WICHITA CARRIAGE WORKS.

Two weeks ago we gave the particulars OF
the negotiations between W. ii. Mcdaniel,
of st. Louis. in behalf of himself and part
ners, with the Board of Trade Of this city,
touching the location at this point of car
riagc works. Mr.. Mcdaniel returned home,
since which time his partners, II. +. Pow
itzky and J. A. Paulis. have come on There
is at present some hitch in the arrangement
whereby they were TO have the building op-
posite the Douglas Avenue House, but that
will be fixed. They want, we understand,
seven houses for their employees and their
families. In conference with these gentle
men, we are informed that all three partners
are expert workmen in their departments,
and they come here for the purpose of build
ing up trade and reputation that will be
State wide. They propose and will gu ran
tee their work to rival that of any manufac-
ture in the West. Their speciality will be
fine carriages, buggies and spring wagons
They say anybody who may patronize them
are at liberty to bring the work back if not

lars. Old carriages and buggies will he over

Mr.. Henry c Wilson of st. Louis, NO.,
the head Of the money loaning firm of Will
son and Toms, has recently spent several days
in the valley looking after the Wichita aud
" ellington Offices and inspecting various
securities held by the firm on loans negotiat-
ed by them. Mr.. Wilson expressed himself
as well pleased at the rapid development OF
this section, and his great confidence in the
fuiure OF this city and surrounding country.
In company with Mr.. Carver, the compaBy's
conservative Wichita manager, Mr.. Wilson
made an extended trip through western
sedgwick. Kingnan and Harper counties,
as far south as the cherokee strip where be
has cattle ranch. The true test of the fu-
ture Of any country is the faith that capital
has in it. Mr. Wilson said he was much
pleased with his Kansas farm securities that
they are gilt edged, and that for making
careful loans, Mr.. Carver wears the blue
ribbon.
There is considerable speculation as to
the result OF the late cold spell on the fruit
in this valley. The fruit in several eastern
states was almost totally destroyed and in
some sections wheat that had jointed was
killed. But 1t was much colder east and
north than here. A personal examination
warrants us in saying that in this immediate
locality peaches will be scarce. About three
fourths of the pears were killed. Some kinds
of plumbs were cleaned out entirely. All
the grapes that were in blossom were killed,
but only small percent. Of the vines were
SO far advanced we will have plenty Of grapes.
Apples were but little damaged.
The whole northern heavens were lighted
up about midnight Sunday pight. The light
was 30 unusual and brilliant that some peo-
pie got up supporting ii to be daylight, while
others jumped hurriedly from bed thinking
u fire was raging. For few minutes ordi-
nary print could be read, aud the light re-
sembled that OF day and the sky looked like
cloudy morning before sunrise. II was
said by some that there were no streaks or
other indications of aurora borealis, but
Others say broad pinkish band spanned the
