BROWN & COLE Va. CAREY.

It will be remembered that some time
since suit was entered BY the firm Of Cole
& Brown against John b. Carey for $l,o45,
the commission on the sale Of Carey park.
The former secured the services of Sluss
Stanley, while the defense employed the firm
of Dale & Reed. The prominence OF all the
the parties concerned, has made it the sub
ject Of moro or less attention by the public.
An EAGLE reporter happened, yesterday, in
the office of the circuit clerk and learned
that the defense in the case had been filed and
made hasty examination Of the came. 1t
is certainly q novel defense and deserves
.mention. II fret denies the sale and then
sets up tho existence Of city ordinance,
No, AS, which imposes license tax OF $50
upon what is termed real estate brokers.
In the minds Of the defense all real estate
agents should, in view of that ordinance,
Day $50 before being able to transact BUSH
ness legally. The penalty ordinance No.
32l Is also referred 10, which imposes fine
Of not more than 500 nor less than S. for
each and every offense.

CARRIAGE REPOSITORY.

Mr.. NJ. L. White, who represents the car
riage repository of d. NJ. Hsydock. OF st.
Louis, was in tho city and favored re-
porter with new scheme yesterday. de
said he had been travelling in this state for
some time in the interest ofthe company, and
had been instructed to secure the most de-
sirable point in the state in which TO locate
a repository, both for the purpose OF run
ming a retail and wholesale trade. In travelling
the state he had kept an eye out for the
point alfording the best shipping facilities
and he had come 10 the conclusion that
Wichita was the place. He had instructed
the company to that effect and was reason
ably sure that they would act according TO
his directions. The fact that so many rail-
roads arc booked for this point, in addition
to those wo now have. seemed
to place it in his mind above
ANYTHING in the state. While other
towns had, indeed, offered some inducements
to him in order to secure she establishment
he was led to choose Wichita without ask
ing any assistance.
If the scheme natures es il is expected
the company will aim to get big stock here
within sixty days. They will do this in
order to be ready to benef: BY the fAl
trade

AccuMULArING WEALTH.

The editor of the Abilene Gazettee seems
to entertain q suspicion that, touching the
matter of real estate transfers in Wichita.
all is not square. For fact, it must be
hard for the citizens Of the average town to
swallow the long list Of real estate transfers
appearing in the columns Of the EAGLE but
next to the assurance of this paper that they
are all legitimate and correct, tho most
satisfying thing would be to come down and
investigate. One day will be sufficient to
convince any man that saving, probably
Kansas City and Minneapolis, no town or
city in the west ever surpassed Wichita in
rapid growth and in the accumulation Of
wealth. Wichita for the year 1886 will add
more to her possession in the way Of sub
stantial buildings and stocks Of trade, TO say
nothing of her increased realty-values, than
any half-dozen of the best cities in Kansos.

kept fighting it back however until nnai'y

Long before this, however, some ]aners
had got an eye on him. "nen

scene with helping hand Of course. They
conducted the lad to fayorite ranch. On
arriving, however, he had recovered sum-
GENTLY to know when An evil hand Va
making its way into his pocket. A fe~
harmless games Of cards were participated
in, in order to while away the time and gel

The hour for supper arrived, however, be

Our Great Carpet Sale Continues
at the New York
Store.
The SO.Called Honest Man Hurt.

The honest man states that he cannot tell
a lie. Yet he says there is no new carpets
fresh from the loom outside OF New YORK
Simply because he is not large enough to
attend the Big Manufacturers Auction sales
that take place annually in the great CONNER
cial center, but has to content himself by
purchasing from iobbers:
Marshall, Field & Co. and other large
dealers were there and bought Mr.. M.
Kohn bought for his three stores at the same
sale.
AS all know, even if the so-called honest
man does not, all Carpets for Fall and Winter
Trade are on the looms in the Spring and
Summer months. so if the honest man has
not new Carpets he must have old ones; :.
One word more to the Honest Man =,
We were never Home Brigadier General
lin the late unpleasantness- high priv
|ate-but in this Carpet War. we are in the
front rank. We have the largest and best
stock in the city--ALL FRESH FROM IHt LOOMS,
Our great sale consists Of 5000 YARDS OF
TAPESTRY BRUSSELS. and every Carpet pur-
chased will be made and laid tree OF extra
charge. We are not egotistical: we DO not
say we are the only honest man; we do not
lbrag on our honesty. neither do we permit
our clerks to state that the Carpets Of other
houses are moth-eaten, when they know 1t
Ito be a bare-faced LIE.
We only ask purchasers to attend our
Carpet Sales and we will prove these facts.

AoRE BIG SALES.

Onee in a while one can hsar some one
cav that there seems to be lull in the real
estate, but this is because they do no! know
what is going on. OF course there is no
furry of excitement in the real estate market
but the daily list averages about 100000
which does not indicate any lull.

BRAEBILLA CONCERT.

The handsome auditorium of the II. Z.
church was filed last evening with an audi
ence composed Of the cultured and music
loving people Of the city. The applause
with which the entertainment from begin
ming to end was greeted is compliment to
any company. Below is the program:
Concerto. ........... .................De Beriot
Mr.. John Behr.
Ballade-G Minor. Chopin
Miss Z. +. Bsckus.
Vorrei Morer.
Signora Linda Brsmbilla.
Legende.. Nv einlAihki
Angel Serenade ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Signora Linda Brambilla.
Miss Z. +. Backus.
Der Tfaum
Violin-Act from Sonambula. Robinson
Signora Linda Brambilla.
The principal interest was, Of course, CEN
tered in Signora Brambille, who was re-
ceived upon her first appearance with
gentle murmur of applause. Her "Eorrei
Merer" being encored. she sang "Home'
Sweet Home" and when she rendered the
last piece ON the programme the audience
seemed 10th to go and hung back hoping
she would again appear. Her voice is pure,
deep and sweet, and che sings the most diff
cult pieces with great ease TO herself.
From MIR. Little, her manager, we learn
something of her history. She is about
twenty five, WAS educated at the Musical
Conservatory of Milan, and married Signoi
Mora, who was shortly Afterwards compelled
TO fes Italy for political ofiense. Her drs'
appearance in America was at San Fran
cisco where she sprsng Immediately int
popularity.
Although Signors Brambilla was the cen
ter of interest, yet Miss Bsckus and Mr.
Behr came in for full share of popular favol
and appreciation.
During tho intermission Mr.. Stanley, see
ing the satisfaction the performance wa
gividg, moved that as the company e1
pressed willingness TO do SO, they repea
it this evening He was most heartily sec
onded and the vote WAS unanimous in fayol
of the motion.
The performance with change Of pro
gramme will then be given in the oper'
house At the previous price Of admission
and there is no doubt that large audience
will witness their second appearance.

A BIG FRAUD.

A fraudulent scheme Of gigantic proper
lions, 1t to grace the pages Of . novel.
cropped out here Yesterday, and the in
tended victim is O. o. Brown.
There Is nothing to show that Mr.. Brown
has besn dreaming Of gold latsly, but car
tain Il il that along about s o'clock on
Thursday evening . foreign-looking man
who could speak English very impsrfscs'y
came to his house, ostsnsibly under the in
preston that he was Orlando o. Brown, Who
worked with him for q time in gold mine
in Mexico, but LEFT for the states before he
had struck it rich, and after be had discov-
cred the immense treasure, he had struck out
to hunt him up. he, in company with .
Mexican, in their search reached Kansas
City and came to Fort Scott, where they
heard of o. o. Brown, Of this city, and sup
posing him 10 be his Brown, he left the
Mexican in charge of eighteen pounds OF
gold bars ut some widow woman's place
near Fort Scott, and armed with one bar Of
the gold to prove the quality Of the stuff in
the mine he wanted worked, he came on
here and hunted Mr.. Brown up.
He said this Brown was the only man be
knew he could trust. That he was afraid to
trust the Americans and afraid to bring hi
treasure to mint lest they might catch OF
to his hidden el dorado. He appeared r.
have implicit faith in the Browns, anyhow
and offered o. o. partnership in the who'll
business provided he would put up $1,000
to work the claim. The gold he showet
Mr.. Brown appeared to be all right, AM
Brown had quite notion to fix up and g
