CRUELTY BEATEN.
Striking weavers Assault a Workman at

the rlington Mills.
Paul PHILIPPINE, weaver at the Arling-
ton Mills, was brutally assaulted by a
party Of striking weavers on the Brandy
wine race, at Adams street, about 6
o'clock last evening. There were abont
half-adozen in the gang but PHILIPPINE
could Ionly recognize. Joseph Wallhair
and 'Reddy" Kellum.
PHILIPPINE was on his way home from his
days work in company with Miss Bella
Black, another employe of the mill
Just as they were passing cluster of
bushes near Adams street, the men
jumped from the bushes and began to
beat PHILIPPINE. The girl began to scream
and was insulted by the men. PHILIPPINES
face and hands were badly cut. The
roughts attempted to strip him of his
clothes; they threw him to the ground,
rolled him in the mud then picked him
up and threw him in the race, then fed.
Miss Black went to the rescue Of
PHILIPPINE and helped him out of the race
way where he might have drowned, as he
was exhausted from the beating he had
just received. Warrants will be issued
for the arrest of the strikers.
When a number of the weavers went
on strike week before last, PHILIPPINE did
not go out. He has continued steadily at
work since. 1t is probable that this fact
had something to do with the assault

ANOTHER GAME LOST.
Harrisburg wins From Wilmington BY
score Of 90 to 0.

Score Of 90 to 0.
Wilmington was defeated again by
Harrisburg yesterday, by score Of 20 to
9. Sprogels poor pitching, and the bad
fielding of the home club were the causes
of the defeat It was expected that
Bradley would pitch for the Wilmington
club, but he did not appear and Sprogel,
who has done all the pitching since the
club was organized, had TO be put
in the box He was not in good condi
tion and his errors are excusable to a
great degree Long aud Rigby did only
fair work behind the bat and nearly all
of the remainder of the team played badly
Wild throws and bad errors allowed the
Harrisburg team to score runs even
when no hits were made
Wilmington did better at the bat, but
found CANDLES delivery harder to hit
than Miklejohn's on Saturday Nearly all
the seven runs scored by Harrisburg in
the third inning were on errors. Con
roy's run for the home club in the first
inning was an earned one.
The visiting team felded badly in the
fourth inning and probably three Of the
runs made by the Wilmingtons were on
this account. 1t is sad to relate but true,

their runs in the closing inning by su-
perior playing. And the home team s

attempting to use the same piece Of track
at the same time. The task was attempted
near the west end of the Oak street bridge
and caused by one of the men in charge OF

who persisted in talking to him than TO
the car ahead Of him. The other car had
stopped and he did not see the situation

AN OKLAHOMA PREACHER,

We had call yes erday morning from a
Rev. E. c. Towne, who says he is preach
ing for all the towns in Oklahoma. Mr..
Towne is seveuty-two years old and has
been preaching for fifty years on the Dor
der and smOng the Indians. He landed
in Liberty, Missouri in lS44 when the pres
ent cite of Kansas City was included in
the MCGEE farm. He gave US vivid de-
scription of the rush on the 22nd as wit
messed at Purcell. He had an appointment
to preach today at Oklahoma City, where
the congregation were to assemble at the
sound of the bugle, but the exciting
scenes of the past week have been too
much for his nerves and he came up TO
Wichita for brief rest and something TO
eat. He would be thankful also for the
contribution of some blankets and tent.
He breaches at Kingfsher next Sunday
and Sunday week at Oklahoma City, no
preventing providence, both in the morn
ing and at early candle lighting, without
money and without price and that's the
kind of preacher Mr.. Towne is.

THE GREATEST YEAR FOR WICHITA
Six Hundred and Three Houses Built Last
Year.

As city becomes greater improvements
which would have been notable are lost
sight of. Few people, probably not outside
of the assessor, had any idea that a greater
number of houses were erected in Wichita
for the year ending March 31st. 1889, than
for the previous wear. However, such is
the fact They do not represent nearly as
much cash outlay as the building opera
lions of the previous year, as those just re-
turned are almost wholly residences and
suburban business places, but that two
houses were built for every working day
of last year is nevertheless record which
cannot be shown by any other city IN the
state. Six hundred and three new houses
appear On the assessors returns at a
value of six hundred and thirty-four
thousand four hundred dollars. OF course
none of the more pretentious buildings
now in course Of construction were In
cluded, could not be. The figures are not
given so much as an exultation or even of
congratulation. but being Official and
sworn to are offered for the delectation Of
the mines all over this and adjoining
states who have been declaring that Wich-
tia had stopped, growing-for the better
information of the unconscionable
wretches who have been publishing to the
world that Wichita was made up OF
empty houses which would not rent at
any price. 1t must be evident that either
the people who built these six hundred
and three houses must be fools or that the
people who have been declaring Wichita
full of empty houses are liars. We leave
the answer with our intelligent readers.

For the EAGLE.
SOMETIME

Somewhere in time or eternity's space,
Will each one reach his souls ideal grace,
Only look upward and patiently try;
List not to the heart with its questioning
why.
It's wondering why, that the best we miss,
Why oceans of trials for each drop Of
bliss.
But some where we viii reach the souls
white highth,
Sometime the darkness will be all light:
All, sometime the heart viii be satisfied,
And all it has lost will be yet supplied.
For all that is good and all that is pure.
In the heart of man will ever endure.
Sometime, though the place is know not
where.
But tho-e that love will meet me there,
The souls have loved, and hold the key
OF hearts that are mine for eter nifty,
VIII come, am sure, they will come TO
me
Through the boundless breadths of in
fnity. n. W. n.
