The BGudebaI6er Mansion De
BGr0yeal.

sogTHBEED, Ind, Oct. 9.-Tbe
magnificent stone mansion of MIR.
Glen. Slndebaker, of Studebaker
wagon fame, and which cost about
&250,000, was almost entirely de-
stroyed by FIRE this morning. The
residence was one of the largest and
costliest in the west. 1t was built of
Indiana field stone, with tile roof and
copper facings, and the interior was
finished 10 the most valuable of native
and foreign woods, while it was fur.
nished in the richest style through
out. The gallery on the third floor
was filed with rare works Of art, and
al these we're destroyed. Mr.. Stude-
baker is absent as a member of the
International American Congress and
was TO have entertained that body in
the house on the 10Th inst. The rest
Of the family except Mrs. Studebaker
and her gEandniece, we're from home.
Mrs. Studebaker discovered the fire at
2 o'clock this morning in closet OPP
posite Mr.. Studebaker's "Den." It
was evidently caused by spontaneous
combustion of some oil rags which
had been used and thrown in there.
Next to the closet WAS the elevator
shaft reaching to the roof and BY this
means the flames were soon all over
the building.

A PROSPEROUS CHURCH.

The First services OF the st. Paufs NJ.
E, church, on the corner of Lawrence
avenue and Thirteenth street, Rev. E A.
Hoyt, pastor, We're held in October, 1881.
At its second anniversary last Sabbath il
reported 49, members and probationers; :.
Sunday school SO large that a separate
room had been built this summer for the
accommodation of the infant class; the
financial matters in fine business shape,
and a congregation embracing many OF
the first families in the north part of the
city. Through tie earnest and hearty
cooperation OF pastor and people it now
presents all the elements of permanence.
and success as church. The congrega-
ton is only awaiting favorable times
financially to erect church edilice which
shall be an ornament to the city and a
strong influence for the cause of God.
Rev. Hoyt has just issued from his OWE
press Second Anniversary Directory OF
St. PauFs, neat little pamphlet which
contains the hours of all the public
services connected with the church, the
names of the official board, trustees

TEMPORARY REMOVAL.

The fire boys of hose house No. made a
hasty removal last evening from their own
comfortable quarters to Divers barn, cor
ner of Waco and First streets. The exca-
vations for the pavement OF Market street
reached the hose house at o'clock and cut
them off from the street and an immediate
removal was necessary. They will be able
TO get out in very good time from their
present location, but an air of general dis
content is noticeable. In several days at
most there is no good reason why the boys
can't be reinstated in their old quarters on
a well paved street, and they feel that this
portion OF the paving should be put down
with all possible dispatch. Chief Wal
denis horse is still at the old stand, but
probably it will be found necessary to
make some other arrangements today.

WICHITA AND THE QUADRANGLE.

DR.. E. I. Metcalf, of Colony, and (. NJ.
his son. now attending the Garfield Uni
versity, The former two brothers of Pro
fessor Metcalf of that institution, called
yesterday. These gentlemen were not en-
tirely unacquainted with Wichita, but
both are delighted with her life and many
evidences of stability. Mr.. George d.
Metcalf. the California brother, said
he had seen enough TO convince
him that Wichita is just as
sure of her position aud fu-
ture as are Denver, Omaha and Kansas
City respectively, that in fact Wichita
seems to have rather the advantage in the
great quadrangle. That's just what we
all know down here, but its comfort TO
know that disinterested outsiders have
commenced to realize the fact Wichita's
territory does not 10 any appreciable ex-
tent lie in the direction OF these other
three cities SO that while their competi-
ton will embarrass each Of the three more
or less. Wichita will not be touched. For
q truth Wichita's competitor if she ever
gets one either in the near or remote
future must be located within three hum
dred miles and to the south or southwest

sional readers Of the EAGLE and so called.

THE CITY COUNCIL, THE PEDDLERS AND
THE EAGLE,

THE CITY COUNCIL, THE PEDDLERS AND
THE EAGLE,
We are in receipt of some strong criti-
cisms touching the city councils action
with reference to meat peddlers and are
asked to roast that body. These protest
against the councils proposition to slap a
round license tax onto meat and other
peddlers. Cheap meats are very desirable
no doubt, but we are not in
the midst of a nomadic civilization.
Those who formerly preferred that
Kind of life with all its cheap
features could, few years since. 60 out
and kill their own meat as it ran wild
Meat was cheap that it didn't cost cent.
If peddling is to be the rule let US desert
our fine, costly business editices. expensive
paving, sewerage, etc., and quit paying
and take to the prairies, for
street peddlers don't make nor
sustain cities; they simply take advantage
Of an opportunity brought about by the
capital, labor and enterprise of Others
The streets cost money and belong to the
public, and if the peddlers prefer the use
of the street to the use of building they
should pay into the public's treasury
rental in the shape of license commen-
surate with the value of the privilege they
enjoy, and not be allowed to run their
business at the expense of the people who
keep up the street, and at the expense of
the capital invested in permanent business
places. Streets are for traffic and are kept
up at the expense of the tax payers whose
properties adjoin, for the benefit of that
property and the business done thereon,
and not for the behoof and ben
eft of anybody who may come
along and desire to use such streets
as business room. The EAGLE is with
the council on this matter of street
peddler's, and street stands, ETC. If we
are to permit, without cost, or expense,
hardware peddIers to haul up their outfits
in front of each of our hardware stores.
and the dry goods peddlers in front of each
dry goods store, etc, ETC., what sense
would there be in trying to maintain such
stores, when if the stores were all taken
away the very opportunity of the peddler
would disappear with them, as would the
city itself, which shows clearly enough
that the peddler is getting something
which was brought about and belongs to
another, and but for which other would
not exist at all The street
peddler's room is more valuable
than anybody's as his customers are
forced to go through his place of business
and notice his wares and goods, whether
they will or not. And as the council, in
the name of the people, are made the GUS
todians of the streets in more than one
sense, we suggest that when peddlers are
furnished with such advantages that they
at least pay as much rental as the man be-
fore whose place of business they have
taken their stand. Two hundred dollars
year is not more than one-third enough.
AS for cheap meats, cheap dry goods, or
cheap anything else, open, even-handed
must regulate and control,
but not competition wherein public in
terests and public moneys are pitted by
individuals against private enterprise.

WORKING THE TOWN.

About two weeks ago 4. c. Miller. a
wandering printer, struck the town. after
having made the circuit Of the western
cities During last Friday and Saturday
Miller worked on the Mirror, and Satur-
day evening Mr.. Mackenzie gave him a
check for his wages. Miller sized up the
signature to the check and on Monday he
commenced raising paper" in the way of
forged checks and being known here, a
number of citizens were victimized for
small amounts Early Monday morning =
check was presented at the Fourth Ma
tional bank and Ed Lauck promptly
threw it out and pronounced it forgery
at first sight. Checks were cashed for
Miller by B. & Brown, 81. 80; - Hsrtog,

and is generally regarded as reckless citi-
zen, but this is the first criminal offense
that he has ever committed here. He

TROUBLE FROM THE WOLF ACT.

Some of the students of the Garfield
were considerably excited yesterday and
in fact have shown symptoms of that kind
for some days. The extra amount of con-
Germ yesterday was caused by a faculty
meeting which nine Of them were invited
to attend. 1t was their first meeting Of
that kind. The boys had no objection
being called in to see the workings of the
faculty, merely acting as spectators, but
the invitation to be on hand without fail
they looked upon with suspicion, not be-
cause they knew anything about what was
going TO happen or referred to except what
passed around the corner TO them.
1t was not long until the faculty met
but the time passed very slowly and when
the faculty did meet the boys were on hand
for while they dreaded the performance
very much they thought it best TO be on
hand. The roll prepared somehow and by
some means was called and the answers
were made, using many parts of the scale.
The red-faced fellows took the baSSo ard
the pale ones come in little higher. They
Were questioned and cross-questioned re-
minding them somewhat of being on the
witness stand. They were unable to give
much OF the information desired and ex-
pected. The result it is thought, will be
announced this morning. 1t is claimed
the trouble was caused by some fellow
aspiring to be a wolf in sleeps clothing
and if the animal is found out he will prob
ably be dealt with in manner not un-
familiar to hot-blooded American STU
dents

AS TO THE BEST PAVEMENT.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
| In all that the EAGLE has had to say on
| the paving question its editor has never
! once, so far as | have seen. given his oDin-
| ion as to the kind of paving that should
he adopted by this city. Ever so out
spoken on other subjects why hesitate
here. TAX PAYER
Tax payer didn't sign his proper name
Had he done so we would feel more like
trying to answer him. Tax payer should
have kept his eyes sharper about him.
The EAGLE has spoken in cOmmendatory
terms of more than one kind of pavement,
and disparingly of at least one kind
When this matter of paving seemed in
evitable we went TO reading up, inquirip q
and observing.
The more we read, inquired and observ-
ed the more thoroughly did we become
convinced that no pavement yet discover
ed is without faults, and no pavement in
use but that has some points Of superior
ity either in cheapness, in durability, in
the readiness with which it can be taken
up and relaid, in noiselessness or in some
other direction. In addition to these con-
siderations come the matters of home
product, labor, etc, In short, we made up
our mind that no paving company can
claim absolute superiority IN all particu-
lars. If our conclusions are correct, then
in the adoption of any one of the pave
ments recommended for the city as
whole there would for all time and eter-
nally follow critisms and complaints from
all those who wanted different pavement
from the one adopted, therefore we re-
specially suggest to tax payer that it
would be the happiest thing, the best pos
sible policy, upon the whole, to pave with
ali of the standards, granite, asphaltum,
wood and brick. with gravel or macadam
for some of the less frequented streets.
And, speaking of gravel there are long
stretches of gravel drives in some cities
which are very fine and satisfactory, both
rs TO wear, cheapness, and light cost of
renewal. Asphaltum is the most aristo-
cratic street in use, and the expert COM
missioner sent to Europe last year by New
York, in his report says that the Trinidad
asphalt, as laid down in Berlin, Zurich,
and some other European places, is the
best pavement in the world, everything
considered. Wichita has started in with
asphalt.

NEARLY READY FOR A TEST

Within few days the city council will
be invited to visit he water station. The
new pump of 100000 capacity per day
is about ready to be tested and arrange
ments will be made to make an exhibition
test. The city uses about 100000 gallons
per day, and enough fire plugs will be
opened to allow the pump to work at full
capacity for the benefit of spectators.
AS to making short cut connection be-
tween the West Side and the station, the
new superintendent yesterday said the
matter possibly would be looked upon
favorably by the company. 1t would be
known in few days what disposition
would be made.
