city council asking that the directory dis
cuss with the sewer committee Of the
council the sewer question. The COM
mittee of Messrs. Brown, Derby and
Healy We're On hand and introduced the
present amount of data received so far on
that subject. The experience with the

When the proposition had been read Mr..
Clement moved that the city should be the
owner of any sewer system adopted. The
motion carried.

Colonel Lewis stated that Engineer
Moore, of st. Louis, had demonstrated

They were both brought into Justice
Walkers court and while awaiting for a
hearing of their case, Charles Tozier MADE
statement as follows: This matter al
started out of the contest between owens
and myself as to the right TO use a srihu
stone owned by me. Old man Owens
wanted to use it and as he was not very
friendly to me I objected We had some
trouble in the forenoon; and
again about noon the old man commenced
TO abuse me; I left him and walked away,
saying that did want to injure him as he
was an old man. / tried TO explain this
to Busby, when he drew back As if to hit
me with hammer. | tried TO force II
from his hand and then he and the old
man commenced firing all kinds OF tools a5
me. Brother John was in the hall facing
us while this difficulty was taking place.
He then got plumbers heavy hammer
and threw it at John; he lodged IL and the
hammer struck the wall making deep in
dentation which any one can see if they
go into the room. John then took
his revolver from his pocket and fired, the
ball striking Busby in the head. In this
old man Owens was injured and Busby
struck in the face. Owen has for some
time been unfriendly to me: at one time
when he went to the Office of Architect
Majors he made threats against my life. :"
Jack Tozier has himself very ugly cut
upon the palm of his hand, made by a
Ratchet which he said was thrown by
Owens
Mr. Majors made statement of the af-.
fair, which was substantially the same as
that given by Tozier. He also said that
the Toziers were good workmen and
quiet, peaceable, young men and
that what they did was evidently done in
self defense.
The two men both asked for a prelim-
mary hearing, which his honor, on account
of the great amount OF business, postponed
until Thursday. Prosecutor Jones thought
that, as the injured man was lying IN q
very precarious situation, the bond should
be made large enough to secure his pris-
oners in the city The bond of both was
fixed at 5000. The bail in the case Eof
Charles was given by George l.. Rouse;
his brother Jack had not last evening sue
eeeded in securing bail.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

| The attraction at this house last night
was the Casino Comedy company in
Busted" The unpleasant weather pre-
vented a very large attendance, but those
who were present were we'll repaid: for the
entertainment, while in many respects a
pleasant surprise to the friends of its pro-
jectors, was received with ever marks of
appreciation by the audience. Many of
| the finer passages were encored time after
time and the whole performances went
| with vim and spirit which is character
istic of the finer musical comedies. George
Paxton and Fred Dixon are both too well
known to a Wichita audience to need any
commendation, further than to say
that they sustained their re-
spective characters in the same
meritorious manner that they have every
thing else they attempted. Miss Char
lotte LIE Brun was as sweet and charming
little fairy as ever tripped before the foot
light. She completely captured the male
known performers We're Mr.. Allen and
Miss Delmaine; both acquitted themselves
nobly. Wallace Bruce made decided hit
as the German policeman, and Miss Lester
came in for her full share of popular ap-
plause. The comedy, which was written
by Mr. Dixon, is very funny, introducing
many ludicrous even if absurd and ridictl-
lous situations. The company leave the
city with host of friends and admirers,
all of whom unite in wishing them, indi-
vidually and collectively, unbounded
success.
GARFIELD.
Beach & Bowers minstrels played at
the Garfield last evening to house,
~ 10. he
evening, yet fully as appreciative and en-
thusiastic as before. Many new features
were introduced in fact, the program
differed throughout from the one of We'd
nesday night. Every feature of the entire
performance was deserving, and received
the applause of the audience. During
their two nights engagement here the
Beach & Bowers MINISTRIES have drawn
unexceptionally large houses, and have
insured by their superior class of Minis
trels, in case they should return, flatter-
ing welcome.
MISS BLOOMFIELD.
The New York Musical Courier says:
The fifteenth concert of the Boston Sym
phony orchestra took place last evening at
Music Hall. In Miss Bloomfield we made
the acquaintance of an artist of the true
stamp, and will say right here that her
performance of the Henselt concerto was
mastery in every respect. Some misgiv-
ings had been manifested as to the advisa-
bility of the choice of this concerto for her
Boston debut, since the massive chord and
octave passage of the work seem to call
for a mans power; but those who heard
her last night must certainly say that if
there is lady artist who can make one
forget this, it is Miss Bloomfield. 1t is
seldom one has the pleasure of listening to
so clean cut performance, and that Miss
Bloomfields efforts were duly appreciated
by the audience was amply shown by the
hearty applause and repeated recalls be-
slowed upon her. DR.. LOUIS MAS.

Says Millions of Eastern Money Will Seek
Western Investments This Spring.

Mr. Robert E. Lawrence, president of
the West Side bank, is home from visit
and business trip to New England of some
weeks. He kept an ear open while away
to learn the general opinion concerning
Wichita and says that scarcely any other
city in the state is mentioned. When
Kansas is referred to some one will the
next breath have something to say about
Wichita They all know something of
the wonderful growth of the city and look
at this point as being the great CONNER
cial center of the southwest
In speaking of the many reports current
east about the city OVERRIDING itself and
falling all over itself, as it were, he said
that faIsehood had in most places and in
most cases been supplanted by the truth.
The people who had been imposed on by
irresponsible newspaper contributors or
letter writers had learned something more
OF the facts and were willing to accept the
truth. This Mr. Lawrence seems to think
quite favorable indication for the
city, as it causes many to give
the city more investigation, which
he thinks in the case Of Wichita
can only result in good for the city.
concerning money iHattefs Mt. Law
renee reports a decided better feeling and
men looking around for investments. The
millions in eastern banks unemployed, he
thinks, will soon in great amounts seek
western investments. The movement
west had commenced a few weeks ago and
in his opinion is rapidly increasing. With
this flow westward Of currency there is
also an increase in immigration. This
spring will find thousands of good people
coming to Kansas seeking homes and the
majority of those wishing to locate in bus
mess In city will come to Wichita I
heard many say they were coming here
to live and they are already coming. This
year will find more money put in buildings
and business in Wichita than last. This
saying good deal for a campaign year,
but think we W i'll find that it is true"

Judge James Humphrey, Amen Gillett

Lyons over the Missouri Pacific and will
leave this morning for Belle Plain to ex-
anime into the request recently made by
that place to have connecting switch
made between the d., NJ 6 \. and the
Santa Fe roads
Commissioner Green stated that the
board had been at work for some time
formulating some rules and regulations 10
govern the crossing of different roads, and
thus prevent many of the disasters and
railroad wrecks, so many Of which happen
at crossings. Their work is not vet COM
pleted; but so far they are of the opinion
that they will require the new road 70 be
subordinate TO the old and give the latter
the first right to the Guessing.

WANTS TO BUILD.

Councilman w. L. johnson has received
a letter from Capt. j. B. Carey, who is now
a resident of California, in which he says
he is anxious to return to Wichita and put
up another large brick building adjoining
the Carey Grand hotel. The captain wants
the parties who own the other three lots in
block to join with him and together build
a block two hundred feet by one hundred
and forty, with front to correspond with
the Carey Grand. The people here know
Captain Carey and are warranted in believ-
ing any house he may build is sure to be a
credit to the city. There are good many
people here who would like to again see
Captain Carey on our streets, giving COM
mands to a large force of workmen as of
