a rir...ela.s Appointment

We take great pleasure in announcing
the appointment, by L. 5. Marshal Ben
Simpson, of T. J. Fleming, of this
city, as deputy L. S marshal of Lyon
county. 1t viii not only afford very
general satisfaction throughout the
county, but it places in position for
the exercise of high order of talent in
the direction of detective work, a man
who will he of great value 10
the government in this sphere
of action. Mr. Fleming served four
years rs city marshal of Emporia, and
during that time demonstrated his pc
ouliar fitness for that responsible posi-.
ton and developed facility for ferret
ing out on slight clues the perpelra-
tors Of different classes of crime which
would have done credit to an officer of
much ripper experience and more gener-
Gus advantages. His reputation as a
citizen is all that could be desired, and
as we have before indicated, the appoint
ment rs one which does honor to Mr.,
Simpson and will meet with most
hearty approval IN this community. A
better man for the place than Tom
Fleming could not have been found in
TIE state OF Kansas.

HofaI Changes.

Friday Mrs. Maria Schmidling and j.
Il. Morrison assumed the management
of the Park Place hotel, which they re-
Gently leased from the proprietor, Mr..
Luther, for a term of five years, and the
fremont House, which has been under
the management of Mrs. Schmidling,
will be conducted by Mrs. Morrison.
The success which has attended Mrs.
Schmidling's connection with the Ire.
mont House speakes well for her ability
as landlady, and with such an assist
ant as Mr. Morrison it is safe to predict
that the high standard of the Park
Place will be fully maintained. The
travelling public and patrons of the
house will be rejoiced to learn that
John Burke, who has made so many
friends during his connection with the
hotel, is to still have charge of the Of
fee.
Mrs. Morrison will, in the meantime,
continue to make the fremont as it has
been in the past, one of the most com
Portable stopping places in the city, and
will doubtless prove thoroughly equal to
its successful management.
Mr.. Luther has fitted up the cottage
south of the hotel for his occupancy. and
the hope is general among his friends
that he will enjoy the respite from bust
ness cares which he has so fully earned.

HORRIBLE DEATH.

A Brakemzn Killed on the Santa Fe.
A shocking accident occurred last
week at Horners. a station few miles
east of Florence, of which a brakeman
on the emigrant train in charge of Con-
ductor Branch was the victim. He was
running ahead of the locomotive to open
the switch, when he became entangled in
some trestle work over which he was pass
ing, and the engine and the cars which
it was drawing ran over the unfortunate
man, maDgling him in the most terrible
manner. The remains, which were
scarcely recognizable, were taken to
PeahSdY for burial. The deceased was
from Indiana, and we learn that the
fateful trip which resulted in his death
was the first he ever made over the
Santa Fe.

Retrospective.

Hearing that a fine view of the city
could be obtained from the roof OF the
new Masonic temple, we made our way
there the other day and while admiring
the beautiful panorama that stretched
all around us, Mr.. Fred Hirth came upon
the roof to see what progress the paint
ers were making. Nothing was more
natural than 10 commence compar-
ing the prosperous and growing city
to the days when we each first entered
1t. Mr.. Hirth came over the hills from
the northeast afoot in the winter of 1860.
The writer had then been here we'll on
TO three years. Each related brief ex-
periences of those hallowed times, and
each pointed out where certain buildings
and objects of interest had stood. What
change had been wrough-tfrOm q
village of few wooden shanties and
100 people To magnificent and prosper
Gus little city of 5000 inhabitants, all
busy in the pursuit of their varied occu-
pations-all rushing ahead inspired
with the hope Of the reward
that earnest toll brings. Stretching
from the Normal school to the Cotton
wood, and from the railroad tracks on
the east almost to the fair ground, were
clustered thousands of happy homes,
while the picture was interspersed with
hundreds of fine brick structures, church
es, business houses, public buildings,
and many elegant residences. To think
of twenty years ago, and then to see
what laid before us. seemed like the
realization of a dream. The noble order
which is about completing the building
on which we stood, the finest one of the
kind in the state, has kept full pace
with the growth surrounding them.
Our mind recul red to the beginning of
the order in Emporia, and the triumph
OF enterprise which was celebrated with
great eclat when the little building on
the corner of Commercial and Seventh
streets was completed and dedicated as
"Masonic Hail." What days those
were. We made more noise about that
hall than will be made over the new
temple in a month or two. That
was festive occasion in 1858. The
people came distance of fifteen, TWEEN
~ and twenty five miles to see the new
hall. The growth of this order is but an
example of the way everything in En-
poria has grown. and who can tell what
the next twenty years will bring forth.
We bespeak front seat so we can take
a good look when Emporia Will have
reached the age of fortv.five.

and ran as far as Fifth avenue, when the
lines became entangled in the wagon
and the horses were stopped. At the
depot the flying team collided with Gill
christ's and Barwick's carriages which
were waiting for the train, and the
horses attached TO the latter were slight
ly injured. Barwick's driver, Glenn
Moore, showed splendid pluck and held
onto his horses at the risk of his life.
Fortunately the only damage done was
the breaking of a wheel on the Elstun
wagon.
