THE Fruit TRADE.

An EAGLE representative dropped into
the wholesale fruit and oyster house o.
Herring & Bryan. Main street, at Peckham
d l1ellar's grocery store, where be found
Mr.. Cherry, the able manager, busily en-
gagged in filling orders and up to his eyes in
business, 50 10 speak.
The new member of this firm, NJ. Bryan,
is an old fruit man and under the manage
ment OF himself and Mr.. Cherry this house
promisesto do fine trade in
this city. They employ trav-
cling salesman and supply customer
as far east as Toronto on the Fort Scott
road, also Newton, Wellington. Harper
Winfield, Arkansas City, Kingman, Sara
toga and Prbtt Centre. Their trade is in,
creasing wonderfully and they contemplate
erecting warehouse near the Santa r.
depot large enough to accommodate thei
increased trade. They are receiving greel
bananas from New Orleans and have room
fitted up for ripening them. They have jus
received a carload of choice Mesina lemons
being the first load Of that fruit ever brough
to Wichita.

1t is very copsoling and soothing now to
hesr church officials says that tie lines were
drawn too sharply by the EAGLE as between
the church, the home and temperance upon
the one side as against the saloon, the gam
bling house and the brothel upon the ether.
Such talk is hypocritical asd eowardiy. The
Democratic organ took the initiative by
boldly taking the side of the saloon as
against the church and that was the winning
side. So far as Rutan is concerned he holds
an Office in a church that was held for years,
right in this town, and right in the same
church, by Ben Aldrich, viz, a trusteeship
of the Methodist church. We arc sometimes
lead to believe that there is as much pulling
and hauling between the different church
organizations as between the church and
the world. As it was, loud mouthed prohi-
bitiouists, and st. John prohibitionists, voted
the Democratic ticket in part and in whole.
A prominent prohibitionist who has always
declared that he despised the saloon,
the gambling house and the brothel,
said in our presence yesterday that it made
him mad he way the EAGLE denounced
these things, and that he voted for Ben Aid
rich. We don't doubt it, for he is Demo
crat and was true to bis principles and un.
true to his professions. The course of the
EAGLE only afforded him an excuse to do a,
he did. The truth is, that the course Of tn,
mugwumps in the fight was more honorable
and consistent than that Of many professet
prohibitionists, for the one element made al
open fight against their party nomination.
and the other stabbed it in the back.

The ladies IN. T." society gave an Easter
party on Monday night at the home of the
Misses McVicker, North Topeka avenue.
The arrangements were original and uni
que, and proved splendid success. The
ladies went TO the house by themselves and
the gentlemen did the same. Eggs were
bronzed OF covered with gold leaf, then they
were pierced lengthwise and different color
ed ribbons were inserted and lastly arrang-
ed upon them us an adornment. Each egg
had written upon it the name of one of the
ladies Of the society and each gentleman as
he drew one of these pretty little souvenirs,
entertained during the evening and escorted
home the lady whose name he had plucked
from the grab-bag.
This created degree of uncertainty and
speculation tina: was relief from the regu-
lar order Of things aud was much enjoyed.
The amusements of the evening consisted
of music. card playing and dancingin which
all INDUCED to their hearts content and the
M. T.'s' had placed another brilliant event
to their credit.

Counciimen.
FIR

At . o'clock yesterday the old bell rang
out the alarm of fire in the Third ward, and
crowds rushed to the scene of the confiagra-
ton, but it didn't confiagrate much. The
blaze was found to be at No. 249 Lawrence
avenue, in the residence of Charley Mos
bacher. The fire company was promptly on
hand, but owing to the presence of mind
and pluck Of Mrs. Mossbacher, who turned
the hose upon the blaze, it was extinguished
before the fire company, or, in fact, hardly
anybody else got there. The fire originated
in the roof of the back kitchen, the siding
boards being too close to the stove pipe,
which was the cause of the fire. Very little
damage was done, but large area Of the
shingles were torn off the roof. An i'm
mense crowd congregated al the scene. In
this connection it might be proper to state
that the fire company is now thoroughly
organized and in an efficient condition. The
chief informed us that if he had arrived at
the scene a little sooner he could have ex-
tinguished the fire without tearing off SO
many shingles. a fire company, more than
anything else, should have the best encour-
agement from the citizens of town, as so
much property and SO many lives often de-
pend on the efficiency of the fremen.

A NOR TIER.

A trip over the northern part Of the city
shows vast amount OF building and im-
prorement in that quarter. On every street
there are new houses, fences, purches, etc.
being erected, and in very many places
along the full length Of the thoroughfares
there is painting, Singing and promiscuous
improvements being done. The greatest
amount of this kind Of work Is noticeable
in the nsighborhood Of the union depot, and
from that point for a half mile north, north
east and northwest. This amounts to II
village BY itself, and shows large growth
since the building season began.
The northern and southern sections Of the
city are engaged in hot contest for the
building supremacy, and the battle is being
wagej furious and close. Both afford splen-
did locations for homes, and he who pays his
money can take his choice, and ali may be
happy.

They are both most worthy young people

BACK FROM MEXICO.


Col. b. II. Campbell, the big stock man,
arrived home from the land of the Montezu-
mas Yesterday, his head adorned with an
immense Sombraro, bought in Monterey,
Mexico. He says he bought it for curiosity,
and as souvenir of his trip. The colonel
says his family stood the trip first rate until
they had reached Monterey, where one OF
his little boys was taken down with typhoid
fever. He can't say that travelling in Mex
leo, especially by stage, is the most delight
ful pastime in the world. He bought 49,.
600 head of cattle in Texas, and will start
next week to meet, count and receive them
in the Panhandle of Texas, from
where he will drive them to his
ranch on the Cherokee strip. He re-
ports things rather dull in Texas. and saws
that large numbers of cattle persisted on tn,
high, dry table lands last winter. Owing
to the drouth they went into winter POOL
and died in large numbers Col. Campbell
gives many interesting particulars Of hi
trin.

ABOUT TOWN.

The general status Of things in the city
yesterday was not lacking in interest. To
be sure, more business might have been
done, but in that respect there was nothing
to complain Of, our merchants generally be-
ing well satisfied. There was more grain
than usual in the market and the festive
emigrant still wends his way through the
city steering his schooner towards the set
ting sun. The result ofthe city election was
the general topic of conversation on street
corners; the Democrats and mugwumps
were joyful but the Republicans didn't APP
pear to be badly mashed on the result. The
question of measures did not enter into the
canvass at ALT was the liberal element
against the church, and strange to say the
church did not stick to itself. In our per-
ambulations yesterday we picked up some
pointers that would not look well in print.

The official canvass Of the vote in this city
has not been returned. bat we give the Hg-
ures as returned in totals and not by wards,
which will be found to be approximately
correct. The registration was light and the
registered vote lacked nearly three hundred
of being fully cast. The total vote cast
within the corporate lines was less than sew
enteen hundred, and the votes of the various
additions which were very light, did not
swell the total to more than about two
thousand votes, all told. We do not give
scattering votes nor the vote on school
