Baptist Home Mission Society

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 27.-The fifty
third annual meeting of the Baptist Home
Mission society began this morning. The
report of boards show 209,06l members in
churches under the charge Of missionaries.
Total receipts for the year, S447,37e; ex-
penditures exceeded receipts, S63,667; debt
at the beginning of the year 1880; max
ing an entire deficit of $112,997 losses by
assignment of j. ii. Dean. About 100000
of these losses in no way interfered in the
work of the society. Lcgacies aggregating
100000 have been received. The great
problem is where the money for deficit and
for future work is coming from. A CON-
nittee of seven prominent business men
from all parts of the country was appointed
to make recommendations on the subject.
Representation from all parts of the coun-
try is very large

FURIOUS FLAMES.
Hacker & Jackson's elevator and MeFariand's
Foundry Completely Destroyed ,tog ether with
two Cars of the Sunflower Route

AT ten minutes TO II last night, as ar
EAGLE reporter stood at the corner o.
Douglas avenue and Main street the cry Of
sire" rang out upon the air. Seeing q
blaze in the vicinity of Hacker & Jackson's
elevator, he rushed thither and was among
the first to reach the spot. AT that time the
entire elevator was enveloped in flames. II
was sometime before the fire company
could reach the spot, and by that time the
elevator was pretty well burned down. and
the flames swept upon and over a
train of freight cars standing
on the elevator track and leaped
over onto Netherlands Iron Foundry.
that fronted on Wichita street where stood
another train of cars. ono or two Of which
contained oil. The fierce flames swept
through the foundry like a fash and it be-
came clear that it could not be saved. BY
this time an immense concourse of people,
male and female had gathered at the scene
and the fire company had got into position,
but the only thing they could do was to
prevent the flames catching the cars con-
tanning the oil and prevent it leaping across
the street to the planning mill, which at
one time was seriously threatened.
Those living in the small frame
houses north of the foundry were
terribly frightened lest their houses should
catch fire and they began throwing water
upon the roofs. For some reason it was
three-quarters of an hour before the Fort
Scott engine was ready 10 pull up the train
and it was feared the OF would catch and
explode and the flames rush along the train
and thus communicate with the row of
frame houses. The fire company, however,
prevented this and when the engine came
ard pulled out the train the danger was over.
The two buildings were burned low and all
breathed more freely as it was apparent the
prevented. For q time it looked gloomy.
In that neighborhood is number of old
dry frames, an old blacksmith shop, Longs
stables and considerable lumber belonging
to the wagon shop. The horses and mules
were all removed from the stables and stood
neighing and trembling in terror upon the
streets. The proprietor of the Germania
hotel was making preparations to get out
and the whole neighborhood was alarmed.
Men and women rushed in all directions and
nearly the whole population of the city had
reached the scene. The council session and
the Turner's bali were broken up and con-
fusion reigned. The whole thing was done
inside Of an hour and the two buildings
with their contents were burned to the
ground. Two cars of the Fort Scott road
were burned, one car loaded with coal and
another partially burned. At this writing
the damage cannot be estimated, nor is the
origin of the fire known

G. 4. 2. OF VALLEY CENTER.

On Tuesday evening last Valley Cente
had but one rival in the world, and that wa
Bareti's circus. You see the Grand Arm,
boys of that delightful little burg had mad,
preparations for grand blow out on tina
evening, and invited Garfield Post up t.
help tackle the deadly bean, but Garfield
Post was alone conspicuous by its absence
1t didn's materialize worth cent--it had
pawned its stove and gone to the circus
The drum corps was likewise demoralized
and had gone to interview the elephant
Notwithstanding these disappointment,
Valley Center rallied by twos and by fours
until the NEST spacious vacant building in
town was filed to OVERLOOKING. Department
Commander Stewart and lady and Adjutant
General Woodcock and lady, Inspector Ask
and lady and Mrs. Chas. E. Warmer had
arrived BY the train and the songs that were
sung, the speeches that were made, the
stories told, in connection with the sciopti-
con views given by Major Ask, made this a
memorable and ver-to-be-forgotten occa-
sion.
The Valley Center Post is named Chas. E.
Warmer Post No. 1856. Col. Stewart, in a
few well-chosen remarks presented this
post magnificent blue silk flag, the cost of
which was SCI, donated by Mrs. Chas. E.
Warmer ana the citizens of Valley Center
Alter the flag presentation Mrs. Warmer
presented the post with an elegant engrav-
ing of her late husband, handsomely framed.
This fine work of art was obtained at a cost
of $50, and the post at Valley Center may
well feel proud and honored above their
comrades In being the recipients of two
such valuable and appropriate gifts on the
same evening. The presentation speeches
of Col. Stomach and Mrs. Warmer were re-
sponded to on behalf of the post by Rev.
Parker, chaplain of the post, in such Ian
guage as commended itself to the hearts and
minds ofevery one present. Col. Wood
cock, being called upon for a speech, re-
sponded in his most happy manner. Capt.
Shipley related a few anecdotes, which elic-
tied much applause. The Sciopticon war
scenes, by Maj. Ask, was treat for every
one, and concluded this period of the exer-
cises. The audience then adjourned to the
lower story, where tables were arranged to
feed the multitude. 1t was eleven o'clock
when your scribe took "his'n" standing.
At half-past one the last relief were in good
order. when the storm broke with fury
not often equaled.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

To the Editor of the Eagle:
Allow me to intrude little, and give you
an item.
Monday evening, May 25th, as the shades
of evening gathered, the residence Of the
Catholi, priest, of Wichita, were sur
rounded by the little ones of his congrega-
tion,al arrayed in spotless white, emblems of
their innocence, bearing in their hands
bouquets Of natural flowers. As they filed on
to the porch, they commenced beautiful
screnade. The Rev. gentleman, who
was about to go for drive,
was peeiec.ly surprised as he advanced to-
wars the door to find that the children had
secretly and silently prepared little speech
and surprise present in the shape of hand
some steel engraving Happy Thoughts"
and fine gold toothpick, accompanied by
an album with the names of the donors in
scribed. They were delighted to think that
they succeeded in giving him such sur
prise, for he was SO completely astonished
that he scarcely knew what to say. After
they finished their serenade Master Charlie
Lease stepped forward and in behalf
of his schoolmates read an APP
propriate address which he did in a
very warm manner, then Misses. Mamie
Graley and Daisy Lynch came to the front
and presented him with the picture. The
Rev. Father thanked the children for their
kind remembrance of him, and invited them
in; as they passed into the parlor each pre-
sented him with bouquet. He gave them
a little treat; they all seemed happy, and re-
mained until 10 O'Clock, having good
time. Just as the children were about to
leave, another serenade was given; this was
by the choir attached to the church; they
formed in front of the parsonage. The
music of the violin and singing waited on
the evening air, made one think of happy
scenes. At the conclusion OF the screnade,
Mrs. Chas Allen read an address of con-
gratulations, as also of presentation of fine
marble top center table and vase. Then fol-
lowed another address read by one of the
Sodality girls in connection with hand
some plush chair. To both addresses the
reverend gentleman replied, as he is never
at loss for the right word in the right
place. He received several individual pres
ents too numerous to mention. As he in
tends to take Il trip east, one of his friends
furnished him with large fine saratoga
trunk. Father Kelly. who is of a genial
temperament, extended the liberties of the
house to those who so kindly remembered
him. All enjoyed themselves to the ut
most. After partaking of the delicious re-
freshments prepared on short notice all re-
tired, bearing with them the feeling that it
was an event to be remembered.
Wishing the Rev. Father many happy re-
turns of that festive day, / will retire with
the rest. QUAIL THORN.

cans Santa Fc n. NJ. special says: A
detachment of the Fourth cavalry, under
command of Capt. Raffee, has been to-day
securing the San Meteo mountains in hot
pursuit of the Indians. The troops are not
more than ten or twelve hours behind, and
fight is expected tomorrow. The killing
of Frank Adams is confirmed by the finding
of his body about half mile from where
Stevenson and Moreland were slain.
A Fl. Bayard special says: Indians are
leaving their reservations daily. The num-
Der of Indians doing the killing during the
last ten days is said by military authorities
to have been only 13i, thirty-four bucks and
eight half grown boys and ninety-two
squaws. Outside reports indicate many
more.

The bears were in high feather to-day, their
predictions OF hrcak in wheat owing to the
large stock in sight. virtually bore fruit and at
one time during the session prices were SIC
under those current two days ago. The down.
ward movement threw out quantity of long
wheat upon the market and the short feeling
was also rampant during the day. The short
interest in the cereal having been very largely
increased the crop outlook was entirely ig-
nored for the time being and argument of the
large stocks here and at Duluth was employed
as a reason for decline. There is still no.
ticeable lack of shipping demand and the re-
ceip.s continue free. The advance of British
consols to par assisted the weakness in the
| market There was a slight reaction from the
bottom and towards the close OF the afternoon
a s.eadier feeling prevailed The latest trad
ing of the day was one cent under yesterday.
The corn market showed greater steadiness
in comparison with wheat though the feeling
was one of easiness. The receipts were large
