WONDERS OF THE DEEP.

The EAGEE has made reference heretofore
to some fine collections of shells, in the pos
session of w. B. Mead, which were sent to
him by Albert E., his son, who is auditor of
the Santa Fe's Sonora extension, and who's
residence and Office is at Guaymss, on the
Gulf of California, Old Mexico, as many of
our local readers know. Albert has not for
gotten his old friends here. and yesterday at
the hands of his father, presented the editor
of the EAGLE with fine collection of shells
for his cabinet, consisting of fifty odd large
specimens and hundreds of email. some Of
them almost infinitesimAlly small beauties.
These shells were largely secured by himself
though some of them were got of the sailors
who come into Guaymas from the South
Pacific. We most heartily thank Auditor
Mead for remembering us, and hope he may
long enjoy the confidence and support OF
the great corporation which he is SO accept.

ABOUT The FIRE.

Tho scene of Tuesday nights fire present
ed q dreary appearance yesterday morning.
The ground was strewn with bales of hay,
frames of sewing machines and the charred
remains of Mr.. Holmes fine horse. The
damage is much more than was generally
supposed at the time. Mr.. Holmes claims
that the loss in his premises was nearly
$500 and there was but $3.50 insurance,
which was on the barn. He values the
horse at $3.50, and there were fifty bushels
of corn. ten sewing machines, only one Of
which was new, two sets of harness and a
box Of collins partly destroyed.
The damage done in Cash Henderson's
stable was mostly to hay and q part Of the
barn, which was insured with Niederlander

OUR WHOLESALE HOUSES.

The Wholesale houses of the city are gain.
ing ground every day. To prove this state.
ment it is only necessary TO state the facts as
they occur every day.
Kanouse Il Merrill. paper dealers, yester-
day sold goods to parties living in fifteen
different towns, situated in the southwest
and northwest and west
One not familiar with Wichita's way OF
doing things would not think that any Of
Our houses could send goods toward the

sun.
A man connected with . Wholesale house
in the city said yesterday that the chances
for this becoming wholesale
centre were scarcely any longer "chances"
but solid. rigid and adamantine facts. He
continued in quiet sort of way by saying
that the railroads were now beginning to
give rates and the producers in some lines
in the east such terms that made it possible
for houses to succeed. He thought these
two facts were evidencethat it was getting
abroad that this is to be q collecting and

A GRAND SUCCESS

The crowd that visited Memorial hall last
night to take in the G. A. x. fair, was
much larger than those who were most
sanguine in the belief that the enterprise
would be success, had ever anticipated. Al
times during the evening the hall was
crowded beyond comfort. The thermometer
being on . high. made it dissgrecable, c.
pecially to those who we're engaged on COM
mittees and assisting in running the Affairs.
The attendance during the day was net so
great Probably As many passed in and
out, but they made j; a point not to stay so
long
About $500 was taken in yesterday from
all sources. The booths, nearly all of
them, are doing exceeding well. More

Mr.. !. +. Caldwell, wife and daughter,
who have been spending several weeks on
the Pacific coast came down from HalsteAd
yesterday morning to spend day or two at
their old home before returning TO their

Caldwell says he saw many pleasant and At
tractive things on the Pacific coast, but TAX

surplus of capital could render himself ex-

California, but he don't believe it the coun-
