UNDER THE CARS.

A team of the Rogers coal company was
yesterday standing near the Douglas avenue
depot awaiting load from the coal bins of
this firm that are located in close proximity
to the above named place. The moving of
trains by the switch engine, and the clamor
of the bell, whistle, etc, that is necessary in
the work of making up trains, caused tho
team to become frightened, and, breaking
from their fastenings, they ran down be-
tween the tracks at furious gait. The
tracks lay in the shape of a V, and trains Of
cars stood upon them both; the team was
bearing down toward the point where the
tracks met; and the breath of the spectators
was held when it was seen that a collision
was inevitable. On they sped at furious
gait, the intervening space being soon
closed up by the flying hoofs, and bang!
they collided with the wooden monsters on
either side, and are thrown under the cars.
Luckily, the cars were not in motion, and
they thus escaped death, though one valus-
bic horse was very badly bruised and LAGER
ted. The other escaped almost unhurt
while the wagon was completely demol-

COULDN'T LEAVE KANSAS.


Mr. F. Sullivan, one of our leading con.
tractors and builders, having parted with
his elegant home on east Central avenue, AZ
detailed in the columns Of this paper some
three or four weeks ago, was unsettled ant
undecided what course to pursue anc
thought seriously of moving to the COLDER
state on the pacific. After taking all thing
into consideration and weighing them well
the long head of Mr.. S. grasped the convic
ton that there is no place like Kansas and
no place in Kansas like Wichita, and forth
with, acting upon this belief he invested I
snug sum of money in ten acre tract o.
land lying near college hill.
Mr.. Sullivan ind family had in their Cen
trail avenue property splendid home and
they regretted to leave it, but it is the inten
ton to make the new place superior to the
old by erecting appropriate buildings and
putting out large line of fruits, including
grapes, raspberries, apples, peaches, etc.
Mr.. Sullivan is an energetic man and q
frst-class citizen and it is with pleasure that
it can be stated that he and his esteemed
family are to remain in our city and con.
tinue to be our friends and our neighbors.

A BEwILDEREp BUCKEYE

Some few weeks ago, there was noticed in
these columns, the arrival in our city from
the royal old buckeye state, Of two sisters OF
Mrs. J. F. Sullivan. One of these ladies
came from Youngstown and the other from
Salem. The prediction was then ventured
by this paper that when these persons had
been in the Forest city" Of Kansas for q
short time, had had opportunities to view
its beauties, to note its rapid and splendid
growth, to realize the richness Of its soil, the
pure and healthy climate and the great pos
sibilties here to be found, tina. they would
beside to move out and make this theil
home. This prophecy has already been full
filed, as yesterday at noon, Mr. d. b. II
Meas, daughter and son arrived from
Youngstown prepared to make this city
their future home.
Mr. Meas expressed himself as surprised
almost beyond measure to find such vigor
Gus splendid city "away out in Kansas" Il
seemed that his home in Ohio had accompa-
MED him on his trip and had arrived her
ut the same time, as the two cities are jus
about the same size, though there is grea

ST. JOHN SKIPS.

ELzRIA; O., Oct. l2.-It is stated and gen.
orally understood that ex-Gov. st. John has
left the state of Ohio bag and baggage,
thereby cancelling n number of engagements
1t seems that when he arrived in Oberlin,
Yesterday as per announcement, to make his
speech, he registered at the hothl, and was
surprised to find the orator, Mr.. Legate, of
Kansas, located at the same place. 1t is
stated that the governor was considerably
frightened, and he Immediately repaired to
Legates room, remaining there until the
time set for the lecture, and after the lecture
he again sought the room of his old acauain-
lance, where he remained until early in the
morning, begging, it is said, that Legate
would not appear in the political field
against him.
1t is further said that Legate has inis pos
session a letter written by st. John to the
Central Republican Committee of Kansas, in
which he asked to be sent as delegate to the
National Convention at Chicago and ex-
pressing himself as decidedly in favor OF
logan and Blaine;" favoring Logan for the
head Of the ticket. This letter, tho author
desires to keep secret, fer if it were known
that st. John had been in favor Of Logan be-
fore the convention, and is now working
against him, because of failure to work in a:
delegate or for any other reason, the re-
suit might be disastrous TO the temperance
cause From reliable source comes the in
formation that st. Johns destination is
Michigan. He found Ohio too warm with
Republicanism, and will find a sure-scented
foe on his path in Michigan, for Legate i:
following him, and is advertised to SPEAK Al
the first place on the night following st
John. The fact that Legate comes from tn,
home of st. John, and that the latter is SC
fearful Of his knowledge, shows that screw
is loose omewhere.-Toledo Blade.

OUR cINcINNATI APPLES.

From the Home Record, of Cincinnati, W,
clip the following notice Of the apples ex
hibited for this county at Cincinnati:
A fine display Of unusually large and beau
tiful apples from Sedgwick county, Kansas
attracted considerable attention at the expo
sition. They were exhibited as specimen
of the natural wealth Of Sedgwick county
by Mr.. w. X. Moser. Mr.. Moser, before re
turning TO his home in Wichita, Kansas
kindly placed this fruit in the hands of the
exposition commissioners, TO be sold for the
benefit of The Children's Home. At tn,
close of the exposition, accordingly, com
mittee, consisting of Mr.. Lee II. Brooks, j
b. Wilson and Jas. ii. Allison, was appoint
ed to attend to the matter. The fruit was
accordingly removed to the chamber OF
commerce, where it was sold at auction, the
first lot bringing dollar apiece. From the
beginning mankind seems to have been will
ing to pay heavy price for apples, and, in
SO good cause as the present one, the n1er-
chants did not hesitate to pay literally for
the luxury. The history of the apples did
not, however, end here. Mr.. X. A. Dykins,
having purchased large share of tie fruit,
sent it home. Miss Irene Dykins, hearing
their history, decided to send the apples to
The Home, so that the little folks might, BY
personal experience, learn to appreciate the
value of Sedgwick county apples. S3915 is
certainly fairly good price for almost a
bushel Of apples.

OUR KINDERGARTEN.

A visit was recently paid to Asks hall in
the Temple block, to learn something of the
school for children that has lately beer
started therein. Mrs. DIR. Marble, of Gift.
on, this state, was found in the midst OF 3
crowd of little masters and misses with the
most pleasant relations existing between
teacher and scholars.
The room is Q large and pleasant one,
provided with comfortable seats and q num-
Der of cots, upon which the children can re-
cline when fatigued.
Mrs. Marble is mild, pleasant, motherly
lady, besides being scholarly and cultured
and knows Just how to reach the hearts OF
the little people who are entrusted 10 her
care, She gives them instructions, after the
most approved manner, in the intricacies OF
learning; both as regards the science from
books and in the way Of department and ETH
ouette .andsher scholars are already in manners
little ladies and gentlemen. They were this
before they came, perhaps, yet here the dis
cipline is more strict and careful than at the
average home, where the little ones are gen.
erally pstted and more or less spoiled.
Besides the lessons from books they are
taught 70 do stitching and little jobs Of plain
sewing, and some of their efforts on patch
work Is really meritorious and remarkable
for ones so young. Tho ages Of the children
range from 1--WE to eight years; and the
answers to many questions put to them dur
ing the visit of reporter, were prompt, cor
rect and greatly to their credit.
The little ones take their dinner with them
to school, Mrs. Marble provides them with
hot coffee, the children arrange the table Tor
the noon meal and they have their social
dinner there together while their teacher In
structs them in table etiquette. This is .
splendid opportunity for parents to obtain
private and careful instruction for
their children, especially the little
ones who are Just beginning
their studies, the number is not SO great a.

SOUTHWARK. HOi

A trip was yesterday morning made t.
that part of the city which lies south of tn,
w. & W. railroad, and the building that i.
there being prosecuted is a matter of aston
ishment to anyone who has not made fire.
quent visits to that locality, or who has moi
been in this city long enough to cease Ia
wonder at the rapid and remarkable growth
and the mammoth extent Of the building
that has been done here this year and last.
One year ago there was not house south
of the above named railway. To-day in
this section of the city alone and south Of
this bounday of year ago there can be
counted two hundred (20O houses, and at
the present rate of building this time mex.
year will see two hundred more.
The houses are mostly cottages, but Of
handsome design and flrst-class finish, and
there are few things SO cosy and inviting as
neat, lastly furnished and snug cottage.
Several additions TO the city have re-
Gently been laid Off in this quarter and put
upon the market, to be snatched up almost
at single sweep.
NJ. Zimmerle recently placed forty upon
sale, which has nearly all been taken by
spectators and those wishing larger
found closer to the business center
tract was a large one, but has dwindled to
small proportions under the inroads of the
greedy seekers for lands and homes.
Perry's addition was the last to wheel into
line, but when the word, 60! was given,
these lots were checked off like hot cakes on
bill-of-fare, until tine books show that as
high as forty lots were sold in one day, and
that two hundred have gone into new hands
in the short space of three weeks from the
day the books were opened. This sweeps
away one half of this addition, while q
larger amount of the others have passed
from the hands of the original owners.
The land is cut up into pats to suit pur-
chasers, from twenty-five foot front to a
five acre tract, though most of the pieces
are one acre. These last, when the streets
and alleys are taken out, make eight ordi-
nary twenty-five foot lots, and it is a favorite
investment for spectators to purchase these
acre blocks and cut them up into regulation
building lots, and when the time and prices
suit them, they place them upon the market
for sale, and it is quietly rumored that many
an honest penny has been turned in this
way within very short time.
Building is going right along despite the
growing lateness of the season, many foun-
dations and houses are under way and in all
stages of completion. This is observed from
the drive on Lawrence avenue, while en-
route to the city on the same thoroughfare
there is noted near the First ward school
building three new frames going up. Surely
our good ship is under full sail, get on board
or get left, as all of our old salts say that we
have not begun to go yet, and that when the
rosin, pitch and turpentine is put into the
furnace there will be no landings made and
consequently no one can go on the through
cannon ball trip until she anchors at the top
of the market and where no one can then be
benefited except those who came aboard at
the starting point.
