DISTRICT COURT.

Black vs. Black was heard first yesterday
morning This was divorce case in which
H. W. Black asked for divorce from Sarah
A. Black; the facts as set forth in the petit
ton are peculiar, and SAVIOR somewhat OF the
Enoch Arden style OF romance.
In 1867, the plaintiff was married at Chey-
enne, Wyoming, to Miss Cora Pierson, he
lived with her and finally came to this city.
In the summer of 1871 she went on a visit to
S.. Louis and Galveston; he never heard
from her after her departure until in the fall
of that year hs was informed that his wife
had died Of cholera in st. Louis. In the fall
of 1872 he married a second wife,
the defendant in this case. Shortly
after this marriage, however, his first wife,
Cora, returned, took charge Of the household;
his second. Sarah, thus displaced gave up
all claims and disappeared.
The Doctor brought tbs action to have the
second marriage set aside, because it now
appears as a matter OF record thai he mas
two wives which fact, to some extent, inter
feres with bis real estate transactions. The
was granted.

new trial in Busch & Rogers VS. D. ".

THE NORRIS TYPE WRITER.

1t IS not every business nor professional
man who feels able to purchase CT own a
type writer, but every business man and
every professional man feels the need Of q
writer, and such writer as he can use right
Off without any particular instructing. The
Morris type writer is just such a machins.
1t does all the work of q standard machine
just as perfectly and does not cost but about
one-fourth as much And while it's work is
not only perfect, and its manipulation SO
simple that child can print with it,
it is SO handy and compact that
it can be carried about, placed il
adask or left on tho table with perfect con-
venience. IL fact, there is no question of its
being the best writing machine in the mar
k8t. This writer can accomplish ninety
words in minute. which is much faster
than many can write with pen Or pencil.
1t is denominated a second class machine,
but no first class machine can do better
work. Lawyers and doctors and other pro
fessional men will find this machine just the
thing, as will business men after g. little
practice. For particulars address J. B. Nor
ris, the inventor, Wichita, Kansas.

BOOKED FOR WICHITA.

Ma jor Dallas, attorney for the Pacific
Mutual Telegraph company, has been in the
city few days making arrangements for
extending the service Of that company to
this point. The abstract for the right OF
way through the county from Sedgwick
City to Mulvane will be completed today,
and it is claimed that work will be COM
menced at an early date on the construction
of the line from Kansas City.
Some persons who are familiar with the
way certain telegraph companies operate,
claim that the Pacific Mutual and Western
Union companies stand in together, and the
former was led to commence operations be-
cause it was feared that the Postal Telegraph
company would make break for this sec
ton. an intimation that the Pacific was
coming here was made some weeks ago, but
it seems that nothing Of an enthusiastic ma
ture transpired until the Postal company
took a positive step. The representatives Of
the latter company say they are going to
make n net work Of Kansas and reach
Wichita in few months, no matter how
many bluffs are given or not given.

THE SMALL BOY AND TIE CIGARETTE.

Yesterday afternoon the fire alarm sound
ed, and Immediately a crowd of people on
foot in buggies, wagons, hacks everything
commenced rushing toward Fifth avenue
and to keep as much as possible in the way
Of the fire marshal and the fire department
who were also going in that direction. The
scene Of the confiagration, a small shed and
stable in the rear of the Catholic church,
was reached the streets and yards for
blocks away were packed with people. The
fire department turned their hose upon the
flames and e1tinguished them but not until
tho stable was burnt down and the shed
partly destroyed.
The property was rented by Manuel Young
teamster employed in hauling brick at
and grain, and in the shed was packed the
spare bedding, clothing, household utensils,
furniture and new set of double harness,
all Of which were entirely destroyed. The
origin of the fire is not definitely known, but
it is supposed to have been ignited by the
carelessness Of some little boys who were
in the barn.
This locality appears to be especially fav-
ored in the way OF fires; within a short time
there has occurred three, not very extensive,
however, in radius of 200 yards of this
place.

the two armies were engaged in hand to
hand fight for short time late in the after

toned took part in that struggle.
Col. Russell thought OF the date yesterday
and hunted up his comrades and the trio
called upon Mr. Elliott ct his Office. The
four spent some time talking over by-gone
days and all agreed that they would rather
be engaged in business in Wichita than
shooting at each other for blood

RATHER BEADoG GIN WICHITA.

They were old acq ualntances, standing in
front OF the EAGLE Office, "a blind man be
ing led by dog was just passing,) and the
subject of their conversation was Wichita as
a place in which to live and do business.
The first speaker, whose name was John, and
who had just arrived from an old town in
Pennsylvania said: "Well Jim, how do you
like it out here anyway" John, you re-
member Tom Rogers, the cid tax collector of
our town, and ric1est and biggest man in it,
whom we all looked up to! Well, would
rather be that dog leading thas blind man
and live in Wichita than be Tom Rogers and

The City School Board Again
Manipulating the GuillO-
tine.
Miss Moore, Teacher ia the Second
Ward. Dismissed Last Night by the
Board-History OF the Trouble
Different Opinions as to
the Cause.

IL seem, that last Friday Ms, billie
Moore, who teaches in the fourth grade in
| the Second ward, told all assistant teacher
that she expected to resign her position near
! the first OF the year. Returning to her
school room Monday morning she found a
| short epistle tackled to her door stating that
her services had been dispensed with as
teacher in the city schools. It was signed
| by Messrs Caldwell and Campbell, members
of the committee on teachers and salaries.
She left the room as requested and an assist
ant teacher took her place as the committee
had arranged.
Yesterday Miss Moore returned to the
school room upon the advice OF friends, and
the assistant had an 'off day" and she taught
as usual. This action precipitated meeting
OF the school board last night at the city
chamber. Miss Moore was present. and
stated that she had not decided positively to
resign at tho beginning OF next year, and
considered her treatment from the committee
unjust The two members OF the committee
made their statement, and tia board then
dismissed all spectators and went into al
executive session.
Up to this time il tho meeting there had
been some display Of fire works and tho ex-
hibition did not entirely close simultaneously
with the doors. There was several warm
speeches made concerning the situation be-
fore vote was taken. The vote resulted il
showing the board unanimous 20 sustain the
action of the committee
1t is unprecedented that some trouble is yet
ahead. II is believed by some that Miss
Moore can draw her salary for the year,
whilo others think the position entirely I'M
tenablo and that no legal action .win be
taken There is a difference of opinion as 10
the cause of the committee acting Us it did.
tWhy did the committee discharge
herr" was The question frequently heard
asked. Her friends say that the committee
desired to favor some from unpraisworthy
motives at the expense Of others They
aver that she is an excellent teacher, was
considered so at wellington and also here by
all who knew most of her work Those dis
posed to take the part Of the board say that
she is incapable to teach, and her work has
been unsatisfactory. The statement from
her that sic contemplated resigning next
month caused the committee to take time by
The fore loci, and save one months salary
