BIG SMOKE AND LITTLE FIRE.

Last night shortly after II o'clock the
residents iu the Walters q Sniyely block
were awakened from their sleep by thick
clouds of smoke permeating every nook
and corner Of the building. They all rush
ed frautically out into the hall at the call
of fire. and although the smoke was pain
fully apparent, no fire was discernible. i
few moments later Mr.. Liebrandt discov-
cred the Clair restaurant was on fire. 1t
seems some table linen had been hung up
to dry near the range, aud had taken FIRE.
As soon as the doors were open the kitch-
en- burst into a fame. Fortunately plenty
of water was at hand, and the fire was ex-
tinguished without calling out the depart
ment. The damage was roughly estlma-
ted at $50. In the meantime the families
up stairs were euveloped in smoke, and re-
ceived word that the Clair was ruined
Their grief was then beyond control. for
they all had meal tickets. Mr. Liebrandt
soon assured them that breakfast would
be served as usual in the morning, and
they went back to bed satisfied

Feast.

The nubIic installation of newly-elected
officers of the Garfield Post and the Wo-
mans Relief Corps last evening found the
Garfield hall crowded. The occasion of
the annual installation ceremonies has de-
veloped into first-class reunion Of the
members of the Grand Army, their wives
and families. There were present last
evening many from the country who had
not been present for two and three years,
and as result many Of the comrades We're
heard remarking that it was one OF the
most successful annual installation cere-
monies ever held since the Garfield Post
was organized. Past Department Com
mander Balderston had been selected as
installing officer, and the officers for the
Post were as follows:
j. A Wallace, P. c.; NJ. W. Coulter, S.

president, Mrs. Caswell; junior vice-pres-
ident, Mrs. Scott; chaplain, Mrs Lee;
treasurer, w drrener, COHuuCeOfs III D
Bayless; guard, Mrs. Martin.
After the ceremony Mrs. Sheppard ex-
tended thanks to Mr. Balderston for hav-
ing officiated and in response the judge
made a few remarks for the good Of the
Post ahd the Relief Corps.
He was followed by Colonel N. Stewart,
who said he was glad to see SO many out
TO the annual love feast. It was causing
the old time enthusiasm and meant more
interest in looking after the welfare of
comrades. The supper, the time honored
hard tack" was on hand, and abundance
of it. More than enough
for the immense crowd present.
He concluded by reciting the "Old Army
Blanket" with good effect.
After this the command was given to
fall ir'' for the supper. There was no
difficulty in getting started. The tables
were in waiting on the stage accommodate
ing seventy-fiye people at once. There
were an abundance of provisions and the
comrades and their families with many
friends enjoyed the supper. After the
'beans" the hall was cleared OF chairs and
the dancing commenced. 1t of course was
one of the most enjoyable features. The
young friends were scarcely able to boast
of keeping better time" than the COM
rades, although they might be inclined to
remain on the floor later in the evening.
Prof. Rogers was present and sang a
number Of selections OF the patriotic brand
which greatly enlivened the crowd, es-
pecially the comrades.

ONE OF ITEM CAPTUREp.

Yesterday evening under warrant
sworn out in Justice MosleY's court, one Of
the parties was arrested who was implica-
ted IN the Mattel robbery OF the night be-
fore. II seems two men, under the pre-
text of buying out 6 lunch counter, had
busted themselves the previous day in
making inquiries about town. During the
conversation they would work up bet
and put up $50, which would necessitate
the different proprietors going 70 the safe,
or wherever any surplus money was kept
When their money was covered they would
back out OF the bet In working this
scheme with the Mattel boys they learned
that surplus cash was kept IN this trunk,

CITY BUILDING STONE.

There was some talk yesterday that the
stone question for the city building might
be recousidered at the next meeting of the
city council. The Towanda stone owned
by parties in the city and pronounced by
the city engineer better than the Augusta
stone and costing 81 GOO less, some seem TO
think it ought to be considered more
thoroughly. Councilman Mercer says 1t
was good supper they had at Augusta,
but that ''cut no fig'r." He was for the
Augusta stone no matter if it did cost
more.

THAT CITY BUILDING.

WICHITA. Kan, Jan. :, 1890.
To the Editor of the Eagle,
In the council proceedings OF last nlgnU,
as published in the EAGLE this morning,
we notice that the contract for the city hall
was awarded to R. Rogers for s6l, 965. Au-
gusta stone, R. RS bid on Towanda
stone being 22. 600 less was not accepted.
We would like to ask the council why the
bid on Towanda stone was not accepted.
when we cap furnish the best of evidence
that the Towauda stone is as good or bet
ter than the Augusta stone? II any testi-
nonials are needed as to the merits of the
Towanda stone we would respectfully re
fer to the Whitaker packing house, which
used the Towauda stone exclusively; the
Dold hacking house. which used several
hundred car loads Of the Towanda stone:
the Y. NJ. c. A. building, which is all of
the Towanda stone; the watch factory,
same. and for foundations OF hundreds of
buildings. such as dwellings. business
houses. churches. schools and colleges, the
Towanda stone has been used; al! over
this city. 4 large quantity OF the
sarna stone has been used
in Hutchinson, Newton, Conway
Springs ana other places. We can get tes-
timonials from nearly all contractors and
stone cutters having used the Iowanda
stone as to its good qualities. but testl-
monials are cheap AMI not needed when
every man in Wichita can satisfy himself
bv looking at the structures referred to
above.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we think an exp'ana-
tion IS due the taxpayers Of the city by
those councilmen who voted in favor OF
the Augusta stone. thereby adding 3, 600
TO be paid by the taxpayers OF this city.
We are amoug the heaviest taxpayers OF
this city and Towsnda stone quarry IS a
Wichita enterprise: almost every dollar
Maid at quarry returning TO Wichita for
commodities: but we ask nothing on that
score. All we ask, al things being equal,
is fair play More anon.
Respectfully yours,
MCLEAN & MARTINS0N,
Owners Towanda Quarries.
