THE RETREAT OF THE CHILDREN.

When the children started to the fort,
Stephen greatly outran his sister, and
when he gained hundred yards would
wait on her until she would catch up,
then scamper off again. until he ran to
the top of hill overlooking the river a
mile below the fort; he ran Gown the
hill, which was very steep, jumping and
sliding to the river. He undressed and
swan over, now regarding himself safe
and believing his father was killed. His
grief and emotion of mind were great
he went into a house where Catawaba
now stands,) and found an old leather
hunting shirt which he wrapped around
him and went crying to the fort. His
sister got down the steep hill as well as
she could-saw Stephens clothes-and
supposed he had swan over. She waded
in the edge of the water along the shore
a mile to the fort to prevent the Indians
tracing her in the soft earth. She got
to the canoe the same time her father
did. Seeing him so covered with blood
she did not recognize him, supposing
him to be an Indian. She concealed her
self in some bushes, but he espied her
and called her to come to him, and they
crossed over to the fort together.

MORGAN'S CHARACTER, &C,

He possessed high character for hon
or, benevolence, morality and intelli-
gence was a member of the Episcopal
Church, and lived in the highest esteem
among the early settlers. DR.. De Hass,
in his History of Virginia. giving an &C.
count of this adventure. says: "Of those
who removed with their families to
Prickett' s fort was David Morgan, one of
the earliest settlers on the frontier, and
a man of great energy of character and
of sterling worth. He was a near rel
alive of General Daniel Morgan of Revo-
lutionary memory, and like that distin-
guished officer, possessed, in high de-
gree, courage and capacity for almost
any emergency"
This was the character he bore among
the settlers on the border, and he took
care to impress these traits on his own
family.
Some historians assert he killed three
Indians on this occasion, which is mis-
take ; he only killed two. Others state
he tomahawked and skinned the wound
ed savage. 1t is likewise mistake, for
he was not on the ground after he re-
turned to the fort; being wounded and
exhausted from the fatigue of the en-
counter, he retired to the bed which he
had SO recently left.
Again, they all, in narrating the event,
say he attempted to escape to the fort by
flight, which is also incorrect. He never
ran a step toward the fort or with the
expectation of getting away from the
savages. The running he did was to get
advantage of the savages, which worked
fully up to his expectations. He had

law of the deceased was first TO make the
discovery stated that the body was warm
when he first saw it, between and
O'Clock Sunday morning. All efforts pos
sible had been made 20 restore life but

suicide.
The jury found that the deceased came
to his death from poison administered by
his own hands.
The deceased left home on the 18th inst.
TO attend 10 some business at Sed gwick
City and his return was expected that

SEDGWICK COUNTY FAIR.

| During the first week in October the
Sedgwick County Fair Association will
give an opportunity for one of the most
! extraordinary displays that has ever been
offered in the State.
The floral hall will be completed, and
ready for occupancy on Saturday next,
and everything in and about the grounds
will be as complete as possible. The ar
engagements are being perfected very rap
idly for each display, and If good weather
prevails it is safe to predict the greatest
crowds to witness the grandest fair of
Sedgwick county. The association have
a number of special premiums which will
attract the keenest competition from far
mer friends, for cattle, hogs, sheep, ETC.,
and the magnificent premium of 500
which has been offered for individual
corn, should bring the best corn and pleH-
ty of i There is nothing in the privileges
let which will mar the feelings of any one
and yet everything viii be there to amuse.
educate and entertain.
The speed program has been pre-
pared with care, the number and character
OF the races being of a very excellent order,
and to insure fast time in each class. The
county trotters and PAGERS which have
never competed in race will have an
opportunity to display their mettle, while
the ponies and tWo-year-olds Will attract
their admirers.
The management deserve great credit
for the prodlgious efforts they have put
forth TO make this fair successful one,
and bespeall the attention OF every resi-
dent of Scdgwick county to make the fair
their fair and to show by their presence
that they appreciate the efforts made. The
admission and other fees are placed ut the
lowest figure, and no eXtortion viii be per-
miJted in any way. Come to Wichita dur
ing fair week and see how the grandest
city in the southwest can entertain you.
Secretary Kelly viii take the distribu-
tion of the premium list under his personal
care and intends to place one in every
family IN the county. Several thousand
will likewise be consecutively distributed
in adjoining counties. The foundation of
the building at the grounds is already laid
and the main hail is being raised today
This part of the work will be hurried with
all possible speed. Entries are being made
daily. Yesterday amongst others some
very fine hogs were entered from Rice
county, and cattle from Marion and Pratt.
The fear is now that the displays Will be
so numerous that audience room will be
limited. The Belle Plain people have
issued a general invitation to the citizens
of Wichita to attend their fair this coming
week, promising TO come en- mass to wit
ness the wonders of Sedgwick county III

ANOTHER ELECTRIC STATION.
Important Improvements to be Made by the
Riverside and misunderstanding
Links TO be Put In.

The Riverside & Suburban have decided
to put in power plant some where on
Fifteenth street near the offices of the
Fairmount branch. Two large Corliss
engines have been ordered with 800
horse power capacity have been ordered
and will be on hand in few days. The
company already has on hand dynamo
power Of 225 horse and will increase that
as needed to three hundred. This will
make one OF the largest electric power
plants in the state. The Old station be-
tween the rivers will be removed and the
new one serve the company no matter how
much line may be added. The new plant
in addition to all the machinery now on
hand will cost about $4,000. 1t is
thought work will commence in a few
days, and in the absence OF delay in re-
cei7ing machinery the new plant will be
able TO furnish the power for the system
within a month.
The company has twenty-five men at
work extending the line from the packing
houses TO the Burton car works. 1t Is
thought this extension will be completed
within ten or fifteen days and the service
extended north.
mand that all street car track not III use
should be removed from the street, the
company have been figuring what to do
with the Williams street track. 1t has
been decided to ask for an ordinance to
enable the company to run south on Mar
ket to Williams and then they could
run east to the Santa Fe depot and
also take in the opera house. This would
enable them to utilize part of the old track
and the other part from Market around to
Douglas and Water could be removed.
The company is also anxious to get an
ordinance allowing them to use Market
four blocks north to connect with the
Fairmont branch so that travel could
come down Market to Douglas the same
as the Riverside cars or could go down
Water as they should desire, operating it
in response to the demand of the public.
The While matter has been under con-
some months and was held
back some time waiting for the City Rail
way electric motor move thinking it pos
sible that the new station could furnish
power for all lines in the city. That Eav-
ing been disposed of as it was it was de-
cided to so ahead with the work and put
in the station for the electric line in oper-
alton and put in to stay and make it the
finest station of the kind in the west.

SMALL FIRE.

About O'Clock last evening fire was
discovered in two houses on Mosley be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh. The depart
ment was quickly on the scene but nothing
could be done to save the property as a
strong wind was blowing at the time.
Good work was done, however, in saving
property adjacent to the burning build
ings. The cause of the fire is unknown as
the houses were unoecupied at the time
and have been unoccupied for several
months. The houses were owned by a
man named Craven. No insurance was
carried on the buildings. Loss about 500.

MILTON MOBILES.


Milton and Dollie Mobiles made their
first appearance in some years at the opera
house last night. The play was From
Sire to Son"
1t is the most recent work Of its versatile
author, and is so prominently his best as
to rank among the masterpieces of Ameri
can playwrights. The action is melo-
dramatic throughout, but is judciously
relieved, at frequent intervals, by spou-
taneous outbursts of comedy. \ novel
idea, that of Alfred Armitage's temporary
loss of speech. is worked into the plot with
telling effect. Mr.. Mobiles part is that Of
Alfred Armitage, a reformed gambler, the
scene being ut first laid III a Cali
fornia mining camp. His acting
last night was characterized by
naturalness and a sympathetic quail
ity that is always observable in Mil
ton Mobiles IN the dual role of Mabel Al
mitage, mother and daughter Dollie No
bies played with great sweetness and grace,
while in the last act when the daughter
repudiates the parentage of Jonas Hardy,
she attained remarkable emotional force
In the character part of Peter Grimes, a
hypocriticol old express agent and post
master, Louis Howard did some excellent
work in a judicjous "farce-comedy' style
Mr.. I. Nj. Hunter gave mastery per-
formance of DR.. Mandrake and the entire
company is above the average, being COM
posed of actors" Tonight the engage
ment will terminate. Love and Law being
the attraction. The curtain rises promptly
at O'Clock. such being the rule with the
MOBILES company.

The large audience that filed the Globe
theater last evening was doubtless at
tracted by the unique title OF the piece
presented, HE, She, Him, Her" The

ing incidents, having no especial bearing
on one another which serve to introduce

pany of comedians in their specialties, all
making al evening of uproarious fun
which seems to be entertaining if not par-S
