AFTERNOON SESSION.
Judge Maxwell Again Fu. the AIT with
Words.


Judge NIiNwsu Again Filis the Air with
Words.
When the court reassenblsd in the after-
noon, Judge Max sell passed a discussion
OF the issues arisieg from the Kanawh'
county contest He reviewed the sci0n
oil the committee in regard 10 Lewiston
and CJslburg precincts, aud described the
conditions under which the original count
was conducted in Charleston. There WAS
40 mistake In this count. Bul a recount
was held When thst recount vas ioish-
"a it found that there were touriesn less
a. d voice than bad been counted by the
election commissioners, snd fourteen more
Fleming votes than they had been able 10
dad.
Right at this point the couaty court
stopped and proceeded 10 do what 1t should
have done a. ii1st. That was 20 inqalre
of these ballots had bsen carefully kept
There was nothing

else was guilty OF tamperiog WITH the bal
lots. there vas nothing % fix crime on any
one. bat there was testimony that the nal
lo,s were tampsred With. TTo men Of re
snee'abilitv and crsdi: testified that there
was q crack in the bottom oi the bo1,
which Veg not there when the pa 1918
acre put in IT, A piece Of the bottom
had been prisd GU, and it vas nailed again
with a rev nail
O,ber witnesses testified that the box
had not been tsmpsrei with, but with
them it was matter OF opinion; the two
witnesses testified as to facts. John NJ.
Cunningham. President OF the County
C,urt. testified that he had examined into
all the facts and was convinced that tn
ballots had not been preserved; not only
this. hut what were the circumstances o.
This change The contestant g,iued Ia;
the conieste, lost IA. Was there not
something remarkable il that fact. II was
utterly impossible 90 calculation oil chance
that such "a thing could occur.
wHEw
Send the proposition out to all the uni
vsrsi6es 0t the country and they would
tell them IL could not occur IN ten thou
sand million years. AZ the minority SAID
in their report, this fact alone was suiil-
cient to prove that the recount was fraud
uleut, and the original count in Charles
ton precint should bs taken. With this
very unsatisfactory Argument on quss-
tion. which has proven zoo krOtty for any
Of the R-pnblCsn pieadeIs to handle. Ihe
learned Judge ed his auditors up the
Ksnawhs Valley, 10 Mercer and Mellow
ell. the counties over which, be said, the
dark clouds OF frand we're alleged 70 hover.
The poll lists for several distriets in
these counties wsrs discussed, and ths
judge claimed thst these lists had not
bten put in evidence properly and ought
not to be considered by the assembly.
without these lists, there was no proof
that ans man mad voted il these counties

Unclaimed ConSoIs.

One curious result of the conversion OF
British consols was the discovery Of large
amount upon which interest was unclaimed,
and some for the principal of which there
were no owners at all. Out of 6S, 500 notices
posted there were returned, through the dead
letter Office, owing TO defective addresses,
II, roo, of which only about ! 200 admitted Of
being reposted to fresh addresses. Many Of
the letters so returned were marked de
ceased " and from this and other sources the
bank learned for the first time that hundreds
of stockholders were dead.
Many persons were reminded by the notices
that they were owners of stock which they
had been too careless TO claim for many years,
while others were made aware for the first
time, that they had money IN the funds, and
in some instances the stock in question, about
which there was TINS agreeable surprise,
amounted 70 as much as 81 900, with many
back dividends accrued.
The redemption operations were continued
till the end OF September, 1889. and when
they were concluded there remained at the
Bank of England a sum OF 81, SAG, 755 due 70
stockholders. but unclaimed. This sum was
credited 70 10, 800 accounts, which included
more than forty holdings Of over 9l0, 900, the
holding of one individual in consols and re-
duced threes amounting together 70 GI57r j3S.
In addition there were unclaimed stocks in
the hands Of the national debt commissioner
amounting to 9576,368, 50 that the total
amount of stock Tor which no owners could
be found was Is, 246, I41-Montreal Star.

UNDERSTANDS WICHITA.

The Hon. James A Miller, ex-mayor of
Wheeling. West Virginia, reached the
city last evening and will remain few
days looking after some personal matters.
He has many acquaintance in the city
who will be glad to meet him and inquire
about old times and mutual friends and
the condition of the ''nail' town. He has
a good word for his town, but says he can
readily understand how it is that the
broad rich acres of the west are occupied
by energetic and thriving farmers and a
rich country calls for distributing points
which means cities He also concludes
that the great southwest needs a supply
point and he understands the demand is re-
suIting in a city known to fame as well as
to the maps as Wichita. He spent few
hours very pleasantly last evening with
some friends at Hotel Metropole and will
remain some DAYS.

o. X. SCHOOL o K.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The evening of the 22nd was a proud
occasion in the history of the 80 K school. "
The first graduating exercises ever held in
the district occurred then and there. A
large audience in their Sunday suits were
present to do honor to the occasion. Miss
Mason had done well her part in making
elaborate preparations Everything
evinced the charming success of her year
as teacher. County Superintendent Pence
moved in their midst as one inspired, and
presided over the assembly to the entire
satisfaction of all present.
The three graduates, Misses Brown,
Jones and Clark read well prepared and
thoughtful papers and well merit the
diplomas awarded them. While present
ing the diplomas Miss Mason made the
young ladies very happy speech.
A. ROsenberger, of Wichita, made few
eXtempOraneOus remaks in the nature of
a class address. Mr.. Clark and MIR. Rice,
members of the school board made earn
est, appropriate remarks Much enthusi-
asm prevailed and the children were
thoroughly impressed with the Importance
of pressing on.
Supt Pence, the teachers of the county
and school boards are doing an invaluable
work for the public schools by their per-
Sistent efforts in thoroughly grading the
schools and in fostering in the children the
desire for higher attachments. 20. h"
is good nei9hborhOod, has an excellent
new school house, abundant supplies and

PLANS COMPLETED.
Work on Central Station House OF the Electric
Railway to Commence Soon--The Service
TO the Packing Houses Improved.

The plans for the building to accommo-
date the power station of the electric rail
way company have been completed and
are IN the hands of the contractors for bids.
The building will be located on the corner
| OF Tenth and Wichita streets and be IA
feet long and eighty-fve wide, two stories,
built of brick with stone trimmings, two
stories high covered with slate. The con
tractors will have bids ready to submit
within a few days, when the directory will
| examine the same and award the contract.
In the building will be about S25, 900
worth of boilers and engines for producing
machine power and about $4,000
of electrical machinery. This will
be on hand in due time and
by the time the building is ready
to receive it it is thought all the machin-
cry Will be on hand ready to set in place.
The company is rushing the work of
track and line construction as rapidly as
possible The cutoff to the packing
houses and car works from Thirteenth
street and Topeka avenue north, as esti-
mated, viii be completed by Monday next,
when it will be put into the service This
will be a saving in distance to the packing
houses of nearly one mile. As soon as the
connecting link is ready for service the
track and line abandoned will be taken up
and placed somewhere else in the new and
revised system.
1t is estimated by the construction de-
partment that all the poles will be set and
track completed on Topeka and Main down
to Douglas avenue within three weeks
They have all material on hand necessary
fp1.f hot a %Ia
possibly cross ties and they are arriving
daily and no delay on this account is con-
templated
1t Is difficult as yet to form any estimate
of how long it will take to complete the
entire system. One thing, however, is
quite certain, and that is it will take time,
much labor and several hundred thousand
dollars 1t is estimated that it will be
quite difficult matter to remove the old
track and replace it with the new and
change of motor power and keep the SER
vice up to the point that will accommodate
the public and cause as little Inconvenience
TO the people who rely on the service for
reaching the central part of the city. This
question is giving the management no lit
tie trouble, but it is supposed that the
company Will serve the public as well as
possible, if for no other reason than that it
is to their interest to do so. 1t is believed
that as soon as the line on North Main
street is completed it will he pressed into
service; the same true of Topeka avenue
north and Douglas avenue east and west
and South Main. To wait until the whole
system is completed would greatly inter
fere with travel throughout the city and
III this less inconvenience experienced.

made the EAGLE very pleasant call in the
forenoon. 1t has been several years since
Mr.. BARLEY of Wisconsin has been to
Wichita and southern Kansas, and the
transformation that has taken place in city
and country during the interval is a very
revelation to him. So wonderful has the
change been and inviting the present pros
pect that he is almost persuaded to pull up
stakes in the north and come and cast his
lot with us. Fact is, that is about what
his present visit will result in. There is
plenty of room and cordial invitation
awaiting such people along this line of
laritudp

however, who were figuring and consider

IMPROVEMENT OF BUSINESS.
in Week as Shown by Clearing House.
Wholesale Men Especially Wen Pleased.

The clearings for yesterday were Sal so;
corresponding day last year Sill, 246; for
the week ending yesterday SSS9, $50; cor
responding week last year 500, 594, or an
increase of 26.6 per cent. This will no
doubt be two or three times as much as
shown by any other town in the state
which is according to the general rule
The per cent of increase also, it is thought,
will be far above the average if not the
best showing made by any city in the west.
The increase as shown by the accurate cal
culatiOn corresponds with the opinion one
would have on becoming acquainted with
the increase, growth and rapid develop
ment of the business interests in the city.
Those engaged in the manufacturing
business and wholesale trade are especially
well pleased with the situation. They re-
port orders coming in at more rapid rate
than ever. They come also from mer-
chants better able to pay their bills owing
to the improved financial condition of their
customers. This increase of business and
the outlook cause them to have an abund-
ance of faith in the country which is being
supplied from this point.

SPECIAL CoUNCIL SESSION.

A call has been issued for the city coun-
Gil to meet today and it is supposed the
purpose is to do something with the CHS
holm creek question. The regular meeting
on Monday evening causes some of the
members to think that it might have been
as well to have no extra session. Buck
ridge said he was engaged in business and
with one or two exceptions all the other
members of the council and he was quite
sure those having to hustle for living did
not want to quit every now and Occas-
sionally for council meeting unless there
was demand for it. Others claim that
Buckridge is responsible for the two meet
ingf per month resolution and if he don t
want to have special sessions thrust on
him he had better have four meetings per

WIRING OF COUNTY BUILDING.

Mr. Reed, who has the contract for wiz
ing the new court house building for in
candescent electric lights will probably
have the work completed within two
weeks He is adjusting the circuits for all
the building above the basement and the
basement probably in due time will be
given the same attention. 1t is much
better that this class of work be done, as
claimed, before the building is completed
enabling a more graceful arrangement of
the wires. 1t is also thought an arrange
ment can be made for putting the mean
descent lights in the Jail building, giving
light cheaper than by the present arrange

SHORTENING TIP THE TIME.

By the new time schedule of the Santa
Fe taking effect June LIST, the time between
Wichita and important points is mater
tally shortened The west and south
bound trains will leave Wichita $40 a. m
for Panhandle, Purcell and Caldwell; 40
p. m. for Galveston, being the fast mail
train, and $50 p m. for Caldwell. East
bound will leave Wichita at 1910 p. m,
connecting with the fast line between
Kansas City and Chicago; at ATOP. m. for
Denver, and p. m. for Missouri river
points. This schedule brings Kansas City
three hours nearer, Chicago four hours
nearer and Galveston eight hours nearer.
