TIE WORK OF JAY COULD.


The Railway News says; "If The
contract for the construction of tho
Rio Grande Division had been carri.
ed out honesty and in good faith, it is
quite possible that Mr.. Gould would
not now have to complain of the hard
option that is now offered him.
His fault finding with the construction
OF the Rio Grande Division, its ply
sical condition and the miserable way
In which 1t has been kept up, is about
as refreshing and cool a piece of Inn
pudence as one often comes across
IN mid-winter. The catechism on this
subject is very short one. Who
built the Rio Grande Division? The
Pacific Improvement Company. Who
organized the Pacific Inprovemen
Company? Mr.. Jay Gould. Who se-
cured control of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad? Mr.. Jay Gould. Who ac-
cepted on behalf of the Texas Pacific
Company the Rio Grande Division In
its uncompleted shape? Mr.. Jay
| Could"
1t also goes on to say that Gould
acquired the Texas and Pacific prop
erty simply for stock jobbing purposes
and adds: "He knew that the prose.
cution Of the work of finishing the line
through to Ell Paso would furnish an
abundant supply, both Of stock and
bonds, and the digestive power of the
investing public would soon be severe~
~ tested, even If its appetite for secu-
rites was not Installed. 1t was neces-
sary, therefore, to rush the work of
construction with all speed and energy
mot so much in order that the line
might be completed and put in work,
ing order, but 10 order that the rails
might be laid down and securities
issued upon them. The market was
given the rosy hue of prosperity, and
the impression sent abroad that there
was demand for the new stock and
bonds far beyond the supply, by the
steady borrowing of both stock and
bonds for delivery on account of sales
made in advance of their issue on the
new road, and as fast as they were
promptly transferred to the care Of the
innocent lambs"

THE SNYDER WAGON WORKS

Yesterdays EAGLE made reference to the
presence in our city of the Snyder Brothers,
the proprietors of the well-known Indiana
wagon mandatory, located at Auburn.
These gentlemen and their works are known
to some of our leading people. The firm
stands very high, and the reputation of their
wagon is probably second to no other.
Their factory plant, machinery. blacksmith,
paint and finishing shops, and ware houses
cover four acres Of ground. Last evening
these gentlemen, in response to an invita-
tion from some of the leading men, met q
number OF citizens at the rooms of Presi-
dent j. o. Davidson, of the Citizens bank,
at the Manhattan hotel, to talk over propo-
sition to move the factory or its machinery
and business to Wichita. The company ask
nor desire any bonus. Their PROPOSE
ton is that if sufficient stock of the company
is taken to pay for the necessary buildings,
they will move their machinery here and
build shops with q capacity of twenty-five
wagons per day and with sufficient capacity
to employ 400 to 600 men in the future. The
number Of hands to be employed at the
start being 200. Our citizens who partici-
pated in the meeting, entered enihusiastical-
ly into the scheme and $4,000 was sub
scribed by ten men on the spot, aud five or
six offered the necessary ground A COM
mittee consisting of Geo. II. Blackwelder,
C. K. Miller, Mr.. Snyder and Mr.. Peck were
appointed to call on the builders of the city
and ascertain the cos: of the necessary build
ings.
This looks like business, and there is little
doubt that all-necessary preliminary arrange
ments will be concluded to-day. The re-
mainder of the stock for concern like this,
we have no doubt, can be secured in two
hours. Let the good work 20 on.

LEWIS ACADEMY.
A Gift of twenty-five Thousand
Dollars.
The Wichita Academy to Be An En-
downd Institution Under the
Above Name.

Rev. j. D. Hewitt impaired the very
pleasing information yesterday morning that
the board of directors had changed the
name Of the Wichita academy to that of
'The Lewis academy" in honor of Colonel
Hiram w. Lewis. the president of the
Wichita National bank, Of this city, who
makes the first subscription to its perma-
nent endowment fund and of the truly
munifcent sum of twenty-five thousand
dollars. The further fact was ELECTED that
that the corporation had just secured one
hundred feet additional frontage, running
from the present grounds to the corner of
Market and Third streets, which includes
the present resident property Of ex-Shirifi
Fisher. This additional ground cost the
sum of $1,000 and gives total frontage of
2O0xl40 feet, making, in fact, respectable
campus. This academy, situated or located
as it is, right in the heart of the city
will prove q successful institution, of its
character, beyond q peradventure, from the
day that its doors are thrown open. 1t will
afford q standard of education so much de-
seryed by hundreds of parents who do Eot
want to send their children away. Here ad-
vanced scholars and others can systemati-
cAlly and thoroughly pursue their studies in
the absence Of undue haste or over crowd
ing. The academy will in fact grow To be .
popular college. In truth the proposition
to endow it practically makes it q college
for We know of no more distinctive feature
or line of difference between an academy
and college than the endowment feature.
While it will probably make no pretensions
to being university, it will nevertheless be
just as important an institution Of learning
as that for which our people offered the
Methodist conference forty thousand dol
lars, and for which Winfield paid, or agreed
to pay, a price equal to ninety thousand
dollars.
The basement wing, which is of an extra
quality Of brick, resting on the finest and
heaviest basement walls yet erected in the
city, is progressing finely. The walls are
nearly up to tho top of the second story
windows, and appear really quite imposing.
A few weeks will find the building enclosed,
and within short time we hope and expect
to be able to record the successful opening
of an educational institution which in time
will not cnly be an honor to the state, but
back upon which many good men and wo-
men in the future will look with pride as the
alma mater Of their character and success
The EAGLE, with unfeigned pride. plumes
itself and congratulates the people of Wich-
ita upon the assured fact of the permanent
success of so important an institution as the
Lewis Academy.

Superintendent Nickerson of the Santa
Fe was in the city yesterday good part of
the day. As Wichita is the principal city
on the line Of the Santa Fe the EAGLE sug-
gests that Superintendent Nickerson and q
few of his division corps make this their
headquarters. Wichita is about old and big
enough to stand little counting from such
corporations as have the necessary weight.

POOR OLD wIND-WoNpER

The real estate firm of Joclyn & Thomas
had two propositions yesterday to trade
Kansas City props rty for Wichita property.
Of course, we don't suppose that this will
surprise anybody in Wichita, and only
merely mention it as pointer to incredu-
lous outside parties. In ali that the EAGLE
has ever said of Kansas City We have never
reflected upon the intelligence or smartness
Of the average resident of that place. They
know enough At least to appreciate the ad-
vantage there would be in trading Sni Hill
ravines for live property, Of which there is
no other kind in Wichita.
