EAGLE TALKS 10 OKLAHOMA.
This Paper and Blackwell Have the First
Talk Over Telephone.

Yesterday afternoon a representa-
tive of the Eagle talked with man
down in Oklahoma and it was an easy
matter too. although the man was a
hundred miles away.
1t was about O'Clock i'm the after
noon when the telephone bell in the
Eagle office rang and when answered
sounded with the voice of Bob Neff, Il
former Wichitan. Mr. Neff said he was
in Blackwell, o. T.. and that this was
the first word over the new telephone
connection.
The telephone from Blackwell to
Arkansas City was erected by local
men who are full of push and progress
and wanted to he on speaking terms
with Kansas. The regular telephone
system of Arkansas City from Wichita
enables the merchants in Oklahoma u
order goods from Wichita with the
same amount Of effort that IL takes to
veil across the room.

Extent of $4,000 This
Afternoon.
CARL DOLLS NARROW ESCAPE
The Building Burned Rapidly. But
All the Inmates Escaped
With Their Lives.

For the first time in many months
this afternoon the much dreaded general
alarm summoned the Fire Department
of the city to a blaze at the factory
of the J. .. Runyon Manufacturing
Company, manufacturers of bedding ana
mattresses, at Nos. 100 and 1872 Second
sreet. The building is a foNr-story brick
structure and was stocked with mat
tresses, hair. corn husks, excelsior and
other infiammable material. The blaze
started on the fourth floor OF NO l9O
where hair picking machine was at
work picking cotton.
The operator of the machine, the first
one to give the alarm, saw the flames
shoot out from the cotton he was work
ing and in less than a minute the whole
place was mass of roaring flames.
Friction is supposed to have ignited the
cotton. On the same floor were stored
large bales of excelsior, and these the
fiamess attacked destroying them in
short order. -
Carl Drei, the assistant shipping clerk,
ran through the buildings shouting,
ssFire" at the top of his voice. The
forty employees, among them number
of girls, escaped in safety. The TWO
the openings on the different floors be-
ing fitted with iron doors. While Doll
was on the fourth floor giving the alarm
some one shut the iron door on the moor
shutting off his escape.
Dollfound the elevator at the bottom
floor, but with great presence of mind
grasped the cable, lowering himself to
the floor below.
Fireman James Riddle. in the mean
time. had sent in an alarm from Box
No. l9, and this was followed soon after
by second and third alarm sounded by
Fireman Speicher. a., t1,a.,,
Flats, Nos 1874 and 1856, and the firemen
directed their efforts to saving the
buildings The excelsior on the top
ter the blaze started the roof and the
floor beneath fell.
The building was completed last Jan
uary and the insurance policies were
granted but two weeks ago. The loss
is about $4,000.

The lawn surrounding the residence of

attractive feature of the occasion was the
musical programme, the harp solos by the

to hear any citizen desiring to be heard
both those opposed and those favoring
the signing of the resolutions.
One resolution relates to contract
for a temporary supply, the other for
twenty-five (2O year supply.
The following facts should be kept in
mind by all citizens desiring to express
themselves
The temporary supply is to be furnish-
ed by the East Jersey Water Company
from its surplus above its contract re-
quirements, incident to that companys
water works known as the Peouannock
or Newark system. This supply water
is in the control of the East Jersey
Water Company until A. D. 1900 The
resolution awards contract for one
year, with the right to renew, and at
a price of $4s per million gallons for
twenty -(2O) million gallons, reducing
gradually to $50 per million gallons for
fifty 6O) million gallons. The amount
of that surplus, now available, is not
sufficient for the citys needs at all
times of the year and the additional
tanned by pumping the present water at
Belleville
The other resolution awards a contract
for period of twenty-five (25) years for
a supply of water by the gallon to the
Jersey City Water Company. according
to the terms of existing laws.
The law permits the city authorities
to make a contract to buy water by
| the gallon only, for term not exceed
| ing twenty-five (25) years, and to pledge
| the water rents to pay for it, and in case
the water rents do not meet the outlay,
then the deficiency is to be raised in
| the tax levy.
| The water-the Jersey City Water Com
pany proposes to furnish-is at the price
of 1915 per million gallons for twenty
| (20) million gallons, gradually reducing
to $25 per million gallons for fifty 600
million gallons.
The laws do not permit the city au-
| thorities to buy water works or bond the
city therefor in excess of the sum of
S5oo,OO0.
The law permits that the contract pro-
viding for the purchase of water by the
| gallon only can contain an option to
purchase the water works, but such pur-
| chase cannot be made unless it is sub
mitted to the votes of the people at
The cost of the proposed works of the
Jersey City Water Company is $780,
O0O5O The making of the purchase is
| in the control of the voters solely in
case I sign the resolution to purchase
| the water by the gallon, which is now
awaiting my action.
Very respectfully,
