Princeton Celebrates.

PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 2.-Prineeton celebrated her foet-bsll victory here this evening. A huge pile composed of several cords of wood and of empty barrels and boxes, with several barrels of tar and oil poured over, was fired at about eight o'clock. The best brass band in Trenton and the col- lege drum corps furnished music. Several orange and black banners were stretched across the streets, and the windows and fronts of many residences and stores were brilliantly decorated. Later in the evening speeches congratulating the college and team were made by various members of the facul- ty and by officers and members of the team. The dual league was laughingly referred to.

 AssiGnment.
 CINCINNATI, Dec. 2.-One of the largest at- tachments made in this city took place at the Palace Hotel this afternoon. The attach ment may also load to the investigation of an assignment made by . big New York jewelry house several days ago. The seizure was made by Deputy Sheriff Cor many who captured between $125, 500 and $160.000 worth of jewelry, which was released on payment by the claimant of the costs, instituted by Tatten & Tatten of Boston, after which the stuff was hurriedly taken to Kentucky and concealed. Sev- eral days ago the big iewelry house of Stern & Stern, of New York city, made an assignment, owing over $200, ,0OO, but left little or no assets. The assignment caused 8 furry among the creditors, most of whom were manufacturers and importers and there were number of suits. Deputy Germany secured some private informa- tien that the trunks containing the iewelry were in possession of Joseph Phillips, trav- cling man for the firm of Stern & Stern, and secured the trunks at the Palace Hotel as above stated.

CHANGED to be there on business and the

money TO pay his fine and Br own told the
city authorities to let the man go home and
he would stand good"f the fine. He was
turned loose and in the book in which a
record is kept the fact was noted. On Sat
urday the fellow who had been arrested
had chance to send down five dollars by
some one who was coming to the city and
did so. The one having the money offered
it to Brown, but Brown had not been
called upon to pay the money and had not
paid it, and told the man to go the station
and attend to the matter. He did so and

A SUDDEN ENDING.

Henry Golden, well known brakeman
on the Fort Scott, was killed at the Mn
nescah bridge last Saturday night. He
was told by the conductor to search the
train for tramps and started over the train.
1t was dark, and just as the train struck
the bridge. Golden swung from fat car
to the ladder of box car, when a timber
struck him in the side. He then attempt
ed, although almost stunned, to climb to
the top of the car, when heavy beam
struck his temple, iuflicting fatal wound.
Golden dropped from the train into the
river and would not have been missed for
some time. probably, if tramp stealing q
ride had not witnessed the sad accident.
He threw chunk of coal, attracting the
engineers attention, and informed
him of what had occurred. The
train was stopped and search i'm
rnediately made for the--unfortunate
man. He was found in the water of the
river still living and suffering much. He
was taken to Clearwater where he linger-
ed for hours before death ensued. His
body was prepared for burial and taken to
Fl Dorado for interment-
When IL arrived in Wichita a beautiful
cross and bouquet of flowers were placed
upon the young mans coffin by the kind
and loving hands of one Of Wichita 5
fairest damsels. Golden was well liked by
all who knew him.

ABOUT STREET PAVING.

CINCINNATI. August 10, 1889.
L. F. Sherwood, Wichita. Kan.
Dear Sir: Having been aware for some
time of the agitation of the paving ques-
ton for Wichita. and eyer since my first
visit to your city have taken a lively inter
est in all matters concerning her welfare
Gor the reason that l wish some day to be
one of you) desire TO give few facts re-
gardipg asphalt as paving material In
our city. The following streets have been
laid with asphalt, viz: Race, Main, Wal
nut, Seventh, Ninth, Mcmillan and others.
Particularly has Race street been sub
jected to the heaviest traffic and it has
stood the test beyond any expectations.
The argument is all in favor of that kind
of pavement, in this, it is noiseless, easy OF
repair, the most cleanly aud il properly
laid will stand the heaviest traffic that can
be put on it. Granite block pavement is
terribly noisy and chips easily under heavy
traffic, the blocks becoming rounded at
the edges and when sprinkled very slippery
for these reasons very hard on horses, and
the cost of repair very much III excess OF
asphalt. In Wichita you have the very
best natural foundation for such pave
ment. Your soil packs nearly as hard and
presents surface almost equal to asphalt.
In my opinion (and it is backed by others
of our citizens who have visited Wichita,
if your city adopts asphalt for all your
streets you will do the wise thing. In
Cincinnati we have adopted the plan OF
retaining 10 per cent of the contract price
from the contractor for five years to insure
his keeping such streets as he paves in re-
pair for that period If was a resident
of Wichita 1 certainly would advocate
with all my might the adoption of asphalt
as a general paving material.
Yours, truly.
