A NEW INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE.

Miss NJ. Palmer, of Waynesboro, Pa, is
in the city for the purpose of establishing
a filature or plant for growing, reeling and
manufacturing silk. In company with
Mr.. H. E. Bidwell, the superintendent of
the local silk station. Miss Palmer called
at the EAGLE editorial rooms yesterday
and exhibited two new varieties of cocoons
the product of what is called the sacred
highest prices because the finest of any
known. These species are fed on the ordi
nary oak and apple tree in India, and Miss
Palmer's specimens were produced from
the same growths in this country. She
desires cooperation with some parties here
in establishing here, not only the enter.
prise of raising the cocoons, but also in
preparing the thread for the market, and
as soon as it can be done mill for the
manufacture of the silk into the various
fabrics for the market. She has already
ordered l.0o0 worth of eggs of the new
varieties and has some additional capital
to put into the enterprise, but not enough
to start the enterprise on as large scale
as is desired.
Miss Palmer will be at the board of
trade rooms at 2 O'Clock for few days and
will explain her plans more fully and
demonstrate the proftableness as well as
the entire feasibility and practical bility of
the enterprise to all who may desire such
information. From what the writer
learned of the matter from conversing
with the lady he is convinced that the I'M
dertaking may be made perhaps the most
valuable to those who engage III it and
also to the city, the section, and the state
of any thing that has yet been offered.

FIRST NJ. E. CHURCH.

The attendance at the revival service
held in the First NJ. z. church so far this
week has greatly increased over that Of
last week, the main auditorium being
scdrcely able to hold the number in at
tendance last night. Rev. r. T. Savin
preached a powerful sermon on THE
Blood of Jesus (Rev. $50 as the only
Ground of Salvation" and as he showed
the universal doctrine of the Old Testa-
ment was the application of blood as the
means of redemption, SO he also showed
that the scarlet cord bound the new with
the old, and that while all other depend
encies fail the blood of Jesus Christ alone
cleanseth from all unrighteousness. Fol-
lowing the sermon number of
earnest testimonies were given
of the personal experience of the
the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ in
cleansing from sin. When the invitation
was given quite large number asked for
prayer for themselves, while several went
forward TO the altar. The spirit OF con-
version was very deep, large numbers
throughout the congregation just halting
between two opinions bnt unable as vet TO
make a decision for the new and better
life. The pastor reqnes.s that the
Christian people continue earnestly in
prayer on behalf of the meeting. Prayer
meeting today at 5 O'Clock. Services to-
night at half past I. Let everybody who

THE PARK RESOLUTION.

There was some talk yesterday about
the resolution submitted in the city coun-
Gil by Mr.. Mercer for the improvement of
Linwood park to the extent of $1,000
Some thought it good idea; that that
amount expended judiciously would make
a beginning and would in a measure bring
the park before the people and If properly
cared for many people could find relief
there during the hot season of the present
year. The parties who contributed the
park have commenced to make some OBJ
jections about the manner in which they
have been treated, claiming the agreement
was to make some valuable improvements
within year after the donation. While
this was true, there were some who
thought the present situation would not
suggest the city expend money on parks.
They suggested well fed street force. fire
department and to keep in sight OF obliga-
tions about as important as TO commence
blowing in money on parks in the present
financial weather.
The question as to the city's ability to
improve parks outside the city was also re-
ferred to and in the event the opinion is
given that the city cannot go outside its
boundaries with expenditures of that sort,
il is believed the committee TO be appoint
ed on boundaries will find is urgent TO re-
commend taking IN spots designated as
marks

FISH PONDS

VIM. Hof turned good sized force OF
hands to work yesterday increasing his
ice lake by adding about three and half
acres to his present lake of four acres. He
has an eye to fish raising. He has looked
the matter oyer carefully and has con-
cluded to make venture in that direc-
tion. The pond located on Hydraulic ave-
nue. near Second street, will be from four
to seven feet deep with stone wall around
it while back from the wall few feet will
be high board fence for the benefit of
the small boy who might have an idea
that he could have some fun fishing in the
pond. or course it is not expected that
anyone would want to steal any
of the fish SO the fence is
put up for mischevious boys alone.
The pond will be supplied with water by
an engine which brings it up from thirty
feet under ground and is able to do the
work at the rate of two thousand gallons
per minute.
Mr.. Hoff expects to have the excavation
completed for the pond within few weeks
and everything ready for turning the fish
into the clear water. He has made ar
rangements with the government fish COM
missioners having Kansas in charge for
some German carp, and enough will be Sc
cured to make returns within eighteen
months. Mr.. Hoff estimates that the ca
pacity of his pond will be 700 pounds of
fish per day after eighteen months from
time the stock secured.
MIR. Chas Payne is also figuring on
fish pond fifteen miles west on his farm.
With little labor he can make a pond of
two acres from three to eight feet deep.
He will commence work in a few days and
has also made arrangements for securing
German carp. The water supply will be
maintained by drive wells and pumps.

THE IN AND OUT BUSINESS.

The judiciary committee of the school
board having the matter of finding out if
Prof Campbell is a member of the board,
as expressed by member. have a job on
their hands scarcely pleasant. He said
there was no doubt but that Campbell had
been elected to the position, but the new
division for wards had thrown him in the
Third and the Fourth left with apparently
one member, some of the fellows in the
Fourth were disposed to take advantage
of it to make dist urbance. AS far as he
had been able to learn the trouble origin
ated with one or two old political buns
parasites who were always figuring to get
into hole if it was no deeper or broader
than member of the school board. AS Mr..
Campbell had been elected he could not
exactly see that any see-saw business by
the city council could bounce him, if SO
the city council could with mercurial
action have the board composed of ap-
pointees. The board, however, would give
the matter thorough attention and possibly
at the next meeting report would be SUBJ
mitted. 1t was suggested by another that
the committee was likely to investigate
and make no report and the whole thing
squelched in that way.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.


Tonight Rice's Evangeline company viii
| make Its appearance at the Crawford
Grand with the essential elements of the
| original cast. rejuyenated with new faces,
new talent and new beauty. This bur-
lesque has had one OF the most successful
! runs of any burlesque ever written. and
has lost nothing by being reproduced time
and again.
Mr.. Crawford Wal is to correct an erro-
neous impression that seems to be abroad
concerning the scarcity of seats. There
are many of the best seats in the parquette
and balcony still uusold, and may be had
by applying at the box Office this morning
A few patrons who perhaps insist upon
having some particular aisle chair are dis
appointed and then circulate the report
that all the good seats are sold. The man
agement guarantees that any reasonable
persons coming early this morning can
obtain satisfactory seats.
The grand trunk finale at the
end of the first act will be
presented with new features. The
lone fisherman and the heifer will do
a challenge jig and this feature OF the en-
tertainnient is entirely new and original
The diamond fields scenery is also new
and be the most magnificent Spectacular
production ever Witnessed in the city.
Bessie Tahnehill. superbly beautiful
southern brunette, will be the new Ga
briel. She has magnificent contralo
voice, and has already made name in
opera. Evapgeline. lbe winsome Acadian
maiden, viii be fittingly portrayed by
Yolande Wallace, Il perfect blonde, whose
fne soprano voice and distinguished ap-
pearance were feature of Washington
society two years ago. The other ladies
are Ella Rock, who Will lead the Amazons,

MEHClFCLLY KILLED,

Last evening at o'clock a double team
belonging to the Wichita Bottling works
was turning west at the corner of Main
and First streets when one of the horses
stepped the hind foot into an open cut off
box connected with the water main. The
supposition is that the cover Of the box
must have been off as it was too thick to
be easily broken. The cover might have
been thrown off by the wheel of heavily
loaded dray. or it might have been re-
moved by some person out OF pure malice.
AT any rate the animal fell down, break
ing the leg short off just below the knee
The other horse was ulhitched as soon as
possible and the wagon, which was light,
was pulled back but all efforts to get the
horse to its feet were fruitless. 10 put
the poor auimal out of its misery it was
mercifuliy dispatched with blow from
an axe. The animal, to all appearances,
was valuable one and is a heavy loss to
its owners.
