and Clerk CarYin Sign Their Names.


The new county funding bonds were
being issued yesterday Mr. Busch
chairman of the board of county com
missionerS signed and then he passed
the bonds over to County Clerk Carviu
who countersigned each and after
which they were inspected by Commits
sioners Harmon and Webb.
There are fifty of these funding bonds
of the denomination Of $1,000 each
There are sixty coupons attached Ia
each bond for semi-annual interest
which shows that the bonds may run
for thirty years. 1t is provided how
ever In the body OF each bond that the
county may at its option after twenty
years by giving six months notice a the
fiscal agency in New York pay any or
all of the bonds and stop interest.
The bonds draw interest at the rate
of 5 per cent per annum payable semi
annually as stated. The prOviSo allow
ing the county to pay the bonds after
twenty years will obviate the necessity
of "a sinking fund as bond can be call
ed for at any time the county wishes

county has not been inscreased by that

A dispatch to the Eagle yesterday
from Topeka announced that the WITCH
1ta wholesale Grocery company Of this
city had secured judgment against the
Missouri Pacific railroad for ten cars
OF sugar burned at the time the grocery
company was burned out on north Wa
ter street several years ago.
On the 10th day of July fire origina ted
in the brick building on the northwest
corner of Market and Second streets
then occupied by the Wichita Wholesale
Grocery company, which nearly de-
stroyed the building and contents.
The evening before the fire the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad company switched
two cars loaded with sugar on the
switch OF the grocery house. The fire
company were unable to run the two
cars from the building and they took
fire and the cars and contents were de-
Stroyed.
The Missouri Pacific claimed that the
sugar was delivered when set on the
switch built for the especial purpose
OF the w w Grocery company but the
grocery company claimed that the sug-
ar was not delivered until it had a
chance to inspect it and accept it.
The railroad company refused to pay
Tor the sugar and the grocery company
commenced suit IN the district court
and procured a judgment for $3.50
winch was the value Of the sugar burn
ed in the Two cars.
SlusS ard Stanley were counsel for the
grocery company and after Judge Sluss
was appointed on the federal bench J.
u Houston became associated with Mr.
Stanley in the case.
The raidhoad company appealed from
the verdict of the lower court and the
case has hung fire ever since until yes
terday. The case has been twice ar
sued in the supreme court before a de-
clssion vas rendered but IL is finally de-
clded in favor OF the Wichita parties
The original judgment with interest
viii now amount TO between s., 1000 and
$4,000
Messrs. Stanley and Houston very ma
turally feel elated over their victory
as the railroad company employed able
counsel to present their case 1t does
seem a little hard on the railroad com
pany when they had only done the
switching but it was merely matter
OF law TO determine who had possession
Tne insurance carried by the grocery
company would not cover the sugar
When 1T was in possession, legally, of
the railroad company
The result Of this suit caused many
people to enquire about the price of
sugar now and in 1889. One wholesaler
SAID that these two cars of sugar cost
the w. w Grocery company over Sc. 600
In 1889 but that if the Missouri Pacific
road were allowed to replace the sugar
now instead of making good the loss
they could do it for about So 800

to pay.
1t was at first supposed that by MAX
ing these bonds of the denomination of
might be taken by home capitalists who
would prefer to make such investments
rather than deposit money in bank but
it did not take very long for the COM
miSsioners to ascertain that no Sedg-

ment that promised no greater return

tive, Earnest John Vanaman Secretary

tors of Last Years Election.

The Republican central committee met
yesterday and organized by the election
| of T. c. Wilson chairman, John Van
aman secretary, and c. L. Davidson

| The attendance was very large, near

One of the questions Of interest that
came up before the committee meeting
was the nomination for coroner.
On the day of the convention, it will
be remembered, ". NJ. McColister, the

After the convention was declared ad-
journed the secretary announced that
mistake had been made in the foot
ings of the tally sheet which when cor
rected gave the majority Of the votes
cast to Mr.. NJ. N. McColister.
There was no means provided at that
time 20 make the correction and the
tally sheets were saved until the organi-
zation of the committee.
As a result yesterday, the committee
passed a motion declaring it 10 be the
sense of the committee that Mr.. Nc
Lean be declared the nominee for cor
oner.
1t is not clearly understood what &C
ton can be taken in the matter but a
majority of the committee believe that
the chairman and secretary of the coll
ventiOn who are also the chairman and
secretary Of the committee have power
10 certify the nominees and will proba-
bly, certify the nomination CT Mr.. Nc
Lean.
On motion OF a. ] .Myatt the follow
ing resolutions were presented and
adopted:
