A MATHEMATICAL WITNESS

Sometimes the closest oalcuiators are at
fault but, for all that, genius in mathemat-
ical science ought TO be appreciated. In the
Clark whisky case prominent councilman
of this city was subpoenaed as witness and
not being forthcoming when his name Wa,
called, an attachment was issued which
brought him into court. His escort pre-
sented him TO the bar of the court when his
Honor asked him 10 explain his action in
failing to respond TO the summons. Mr..
Healy said: MAY it please the court, l
meant no disrespect 10 the court, il was
simply a miscalculation Of time. | have
oftened been summoned here before; one
time was subpoenaed as witness here
and l came up and waited two days before
was wanted. The next time / was sent for
as witness and it took three days TO get TO
me, and at another time | came here rs a
litigant and it took several days before |
was wanted. When | was subpoenaed this
time made an average of the time with
mathematical precision and set the time
down when ] should be required 10 appear
here az being about the first of next week.
1t is simply miscalcuiation Of time, no
contempt, assure You, sir. | hope you
will take off the fine" The court observed
that mathematics would not work in such
cases, and advised the gentleman TO adapt
them to every day affairs, but leave off his
arithmetic when the mandate of the court
came around. The clerk was ordered TO re-
NIT the fine

TRAGEDY OR ROMANCE, WHICH

Chicago avenue was the scene of what
was thought to be an elopement or leaf in
some other kind Of romantic tragedy, last
Tuesday and elected great deal of curiosity
and excitement among the people Of that
vicinity. In the afternoon of that day
young lady, on whose rosy cheeks the
bloom of youth rested like a halo of beauty
mo line of care marked the full rounded
cheeks, the dimpled chin or obscured the
huoyant glance of her deep blue eyes, Der
form lythe, symetrical and buoyant with
the elastic step that none but youth can
give, stepped lightly upon the bridge span
ming the romantic Arkansas river. The
passer-by stopped to glance with a kindly
interest on the lovely apparation as gszelle-
like she passed oifthe bridge and entered
Chicago avenue. But, oh, what is that
crowd gathering abouts We approach. 1t
is the lovely form which the admiring glance
had rested on lying prone
in deadly faint, rigid. a
few moments before this two gentlemen
had crossed the bridge and were engaging a
team at livery stable opposite to where the
lady had tainted, when they ran to her as
sistance. This lady had fallen at the steps
of lady's house and assistance was given
at once. The gentlemen were on the spot
and bore the form into the house and in
way they took full charge of
her and soon succeeded in reviving her.
Now the very strangest part Of this thing is
yet to be told. The lady was an utter
stranger in the city. The gentlemen were
utter strangers. They wore acquainted. A
carriage was sent for and the three departed
for prominent hotel, after taking a lady
INTO the carriage for propriety's sake. The
ncoherent talk Of the lady when just re-
covering her senses was tragic and showed |
hat she was laboring under high stress of
excitement. The people on Chicago avenue
Ire now perplexed over the singular occur
'ence and picture all kinds of heart-rending |
possibilities and yet no clue is offered. Was |
t an elopement? Was it case of kidnap-
,ing? Time alone will solve the question. |

DELAYED TRAINS.

The heavy rain of night before last has
once more interfered with railroad traffic,
damaging certain portions Of nearly all the
roads leading into the city, delaying trains
from one to twelve hours The passenger
on the Wichita and Western was one hour
late yesterday morning and the train from
the west on The Sunfower due here at 9:37
yesterday morning did not arrive yet that
We know Of. The Frisco train from the
east due here AT 6 p. IN. was six hours late
last night. Information from the west along
the Sunfower is that the Ninnescah and
Slate creek are up and booming. This has
been severe season on the railroads, es-
pecially the west end Of the Sunfower, and
that company begins to realize the necessity
of building rip-raps and other projections
against the angry waters.

Quite serious accident occurred to one
of Peter Getto's horses in front of the
Cracker factory, on Douglas avenue yester-
day evening. While driving along on that
part of the street a grocery wagon drawn by
a single horse was passing by. and in conse-
quence Of II jam of teams at that point they
drove SO close together that the wheel of
the grocery wagon ran under the 'flank
of the off horse Of Mr.. Gctto's team, upset
tin him clean over, his head coming under
his body. The harness had TO be cut in
order to eNtricate him. His hind legs were
so cut up that he will be unfit for use for
some time, but it was very lucky his neck
was not broken.

JACOB BISANTZ.
MANN : tn Hardware House

The hardware and tinware house of Jacob
Bissantz, No. 107 Douglas avenue, is really a
mammoth concern and few even in Wichita
have the remotest idea Of the magnitude of
the store with its tinshop and cornice works,
nor the immense volume of business done
there. A reporter took look through the
entire establishment yesterday, and not
withstanding that he had passed by the store
two or three times day during the past
year, he soon discovered that he was far
from being posted as TO the extent of the
concern. The store is 25xlj0 feet and is
packed SO full Of goods that scarcely pass
age way is left between. The stock which
probably amounts in value 70 $4,000
comprises everything in the hardware and
and embraces iron and blacksmith's furnish
ings. The stock of stoves is very large and
fine, including large number Of splendid
oil burners. The floors and shelves and
counters are covered with goods, while from
the beams all manner of tinwarc hangs sus-
pended. No house in the southwest carries
so large and fine a stock of niantels and
CRATES. Another very important depart
ment of this big house is the galvanized
cornice works, which is increasing so rapid
ly as to tax all the energy of the concern 10
fill the orders. The cornice and tinworks
occupy the whole upper story of the build
ing and employ from fifteen to twenty
hands. 81 have received about $1,000 worth
of orders for cornice in the last two weeks"
said Mr.. Bissantz, "and / must put half
dozen more men TO work in that depart
ment." The spring has been backward for
building and now comes the rush; this
branch of my business is growing TO an
enormous extent"
An inspection of this big concern in all
its departments from the ground floor 10
the upper room is necessary in order TO
