The board of education held a meeting yesterday and in some mysterious way out side the ordinary rango of human knowl edge, hired altogether a different superin tendent than tho man to whom they tendered the position the other day and who accepted tho samo by telegraph.

Tho namo of the gentleman now hirod is F. S. Mickey, of Fort Scott. Will tho board stick to him? Our city authorities or gas company, or water company, one or tho other?, aro re sponsible for a nuisance, in that on tho principal streets they leave sinks or ditches which smash np and break vehicle.

Mr. Low compliments our city by saying: " hat wouldn t some of the cities of the Missouri river have been if they had possessed and evinced tho wonderful spirit and cntcrpnso of ichita!"

Somewhero or sometime, the page and book as indefinite now as the time when, we faintly remember to hive read of an en chanting f reno of a woman and a shimmer ing sheen, of bass and brcem, and shadow between, for that woman a screen, and of her pleasing dream; and we never hear any one talk of hooks and fiys and days of jest and abandon but that wistful picture ro turns with a growing influence almost irre prcsible. Wo hope our frbnds may catch such a like inspiration, remembering tho while, in compassion, the tread-mill mortals who know no holidays. Wo understand that Mr. and Mrs. Xorris go down in a few days to their old home in Massachusetts to spend the season, and the Eagle wishes them a delightful summer. Able Arguments of Connie! on Each Side Tho Case Given to the lory at 6 p. m The Edwards-Wilson murder trial was re sumed in the district court yesterday morn ing, with Judge James A. Bay, of Welling ton, on tho floor on behalf of the state. Judge Bay's argument, which was a fine effort, was directed mainly towards tearing to pieces the proceeding argument of the defendant's counsel, Wm. McDonald, and he succeeded in making some serious rents in that gentleman's version of the case. Judgo liay spoke for over an hour and a half, during which time he held the atten tion of the jury well. lie reviewed the ov idence very carefully and scouted the theory of self-dejense. He referred to tho sort of weanon Wilson carried, saying that it was only a little buckshot concern and was not a deadly weapon. He warned the jury of their duty in tho case and cauticced them not to be lod asido by any considera tion of sympathy that might be excited by the presence of defendant's wife and chil dren. Ho was followed by Mr. Thomas George, of Wellington, for the defence, who spoke about tho same length of time as Judge Bay had. Mr. George made an unusually strong and earnest argument, reviewing both tho evidence and tho arguments of the state's counsel, and dealing the witnesses for the stato sundry sturdy blows. He also dealt largely with the character of tho deceased, on which he drew several black lines. Mr. George concluded at 11:25 and court ad journed until 1 p. in. When court reconvened in the afternoon the room was full of spoctaters and listeners. A few ladies were also present and among the ladies inside tho bar besides those related to the deceased and the defendant, were Mrs. Judgo Bay and Mrs. H. H. Davidson, of Wellington. Tho Sedgwick county bar was well rep resented, tho two remaining and principlo arguments of Hon. W. E. Stanloey, of this city, for the defense and that of Mr. John A. Murray, Sumner county's young county attorney, on behalf of tho state. The court was called to order at 1:20 and the roster of the jury tvsa called. Hon. W. E. Stanley then squared himself before tho jury to make tho final effort for tho life and liberty of Wm. T. Edwards, and he certainly made an effecti ro and telling argument, which made a profound impression on both the jury and and all inside that hall. At first his manner was placid and cool but as ho advanced well into tho field beforo him, he warmed up, tho fire of conviction lit up his countenance and he waxed eloquent. For two hours ho poured forth a stream of ar gument, of persuasion and of appeal. Con fident of the justice of his cause ho went into it with an earnestness and a will that carried conviction, and in tho language of many w ho have known him for years, "ho made tho best effort of his life." He entered at great length into the evidence and shewed up every littlo inconsistency in the state's testimony; painted vividly the characters of tho camblcrs on whoso testimony the stato relied for conviction and inquired of th jury whether they would be willing to trust their lives or their property in such hands. For tho purpose of illustrating tho unrelia ble character of tho state's evidenco ho placed several objects on a tablo in front of tho jury to show tho situations of tho sev eral aitnes'i'S and the combatants with re spect to each other and went onto show how impossible it was that their evidence re garding tho position of Ed wards and Wilson on that futal occasion, could be true. In an elegant peroration ho drew a very vivid picture of the theories of both sides of tho CHSn and closed with a very pootical ap peal to tho jury. At pricisely 2:45 County Attorney Mur ray, of Wellington, took the floor and spoko until G o'clock. He bowod to the judge and then turned and faced the jury, entering immediate ly into his argument with no in troduction sato referring to the painful duty his position, as tho attorney of tho state. imposed upon him. From that on ho pro ceeded step by step into tho merits of tho caso and delivered thrust after thrust to the defendant's theory and placed him in ex actly tho same category as tho stato's wit ness whom the attornoys'for tho defenso de rided and claimed their evidence was en titled to no consideration. According to his own evidenco ho said tho defendant was a gambler and had been the proprietor of a gaming house in Wellington. For two hours and twenty minutes he con tinued to pour forth a stream of convincing argument, that might bo likened to tho fresh and vigorous current of a rapid river, now gliding smoothly along without a rip plo on its surface, again rolling over a rocky bottom and anon breaking on somo rugged cliff or promontory. It was an argument that claimed general attontion. He dis claimed any desiro to unduly influence tho jury, and maintained that he desired noth ing but justico in accordance with tho law and tho testimony. Suddenly he would sometimes wheel around to tho counsel for the dofonsc, and deal their conduct during tho trial somo telling blows. Ho made such a furious charzo on his townsman Mr. George's conduct in connection with tho case in its first stagos, that Mr. Stanley deemed it expedient to ask the court to call him to order. He possesses a wonderful memory, which cnablod him to traverse the wholo of that long and intricate case and re view tho whole testimony without consult ing his notes. Tho general observation of all who heard him was that this young man would make his mark as a lawyer. Xo mat ter what the result of this case, in which his sido was very black both as to tho central figure and tho material he had for witnesses, ho and his law partner, Mr. Elliott, and their colleague, Judgo Bay, havo exhibited fino legal abilities and talent, and young Murray was the central figure. Judge Wall instructed the jury on tbo kind ot verdicts they might render in the case, and at G o'clock tho jury retired, and up to this writing no word has been heard from them. Tho gcnoral opinion seems to bo a hung jury PERSONA!. L. F. Jones and wife, of Cheney, are in the aty. J. H. Brusbfield of Howard,! registered at the Occidental. K.

The Eagle cordially welcomes the gentleman who had such ample faith in Wichita when somo wavered. HOW ABOUT THE FOURTH? "slow aDout tne rounn ot July!" said a gentleman yesterday, who not many years ago saw the prairie grass ,-rowing in the streets of Wichita. "How about it you say!" replied a re porter, to whom the question was directed. "Yes, ain't wo going to havo any Fourth here this year! If you are, it is about time you were beginning to say something about it I should think, and no one doubts but we can havo one of those times you read about hero on tho glorious old Fourth, if we take a notion. That is the way wo do things hero you know. Who is it that is against a celebration for that day? No one! 2o, not even ono of those six fellows that voted against tho bonds. This is saying a good deal in favor of tho fourth when wc say it will be more popular than tho bonds, but it is truo all the same. There is not a business in the city Urn, it would not help. Then aside frnin alt that it is fit and proper that we should havo something on that laj appropriate fur iIip occasion." During the diy thn rvrtiT waj fre quently asked if a fourth of July was "any go" this yer. All seemed to think that it would ba the prnrxr thing to have a grand blow out" and their ideas on matter :iih rule cniacido with those of the first gentleman quoted. One seemed to think that a committee should be apppointed immediately to in vestigate tho matter and determine if it was best to try to have a celebration and if the question was decided in the affirmative to immediately go about making the proper arrangements. It is safo to say that the matter is beginning to ba talked thoroughly and something will be dono in tho near future. RAILROAD COMMITTEES The railroad chess-board is now com manding even more attention than tho real estato bulletin board. Last evening thcro arrived in this city railroad delegations from Wellington and Caldwell to meet General Solicitor M. A. Lowe, of tho Beck Island system, at the Manhattan; Dr. P. A. Wood, John Mur phy, M. V. B. Holmes, T. P. 'cal and John T. Stewart, of Wellington, and Hon. Geo. W. Biloy, A. M. Coulston and others, of Caldwell. W. S. Forrey, of Harper, and James O. Steele, of Anthony, were also hero, but for what purpose the writer knows not. Tho pcoplo of the enterprising and flourishing city of Caldwell, situated in a fine fertilo section of tbo state at tho door of tho Indian Territory, and ono of the chief cattle shipping points in the south west, will make a strong and united effort to secure the southern extension of the Bock Island road. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. 12000 2400 200 200 1615 4000 2800 325 600 1295 15570 400 CO 2000 2100 THE CATHOLIC SEMINARY. Tomorrow will bo tbo last day for receiv ing propositions for the location of the above-named institution, and tho board de sires to impress upon the owners of real es tate the effect the location of an institution of this kind will havo on the value of the property in its vicinity. Several thousand dollars annually will be expended in con nection with the seminary, and the Catholic Emigration society will endeavor to locate several families about these institutions. The pecuniary advantage to the owners of real estate in their vicinity will therefore be apparent. BOATINQ. STILL TH Y COME. YdtenUy was ono of the big days for ar rivals in this city. Every train that came in was crowded with passengers who got off and looked out for tho first time upon tbo booming city. AH tho hotels in the city were taxed to their utmost and were even compelled lato in tho evening to send people away. Four and flvo pigcs of tho registers were consumed at each hotel and an inspec tion of these disclosed the fact that in one day people como hero from almost every state in the Union. Ono thing noticeable in yesterday's visitors was the large number of real estate agents who came in from the neighboring towns. There is scarcely a town of any importance within fifty mile of hero but had two or three representative of that business turn up in the city yesterday. 'Wo have need of them," said a fsntle raan last evening who was speaking of this peculiar phenomena. "What few we have in tho business are over-worked, and it is quite probable if not possible that some of ours will kill themselves from over-work if help don't put in an appearance soon. These lots around hero are getting too numerous and buyers too plenty and assistance mu.t come. Thcro are more buyers than can possibly ba accommodated with the present supply of real estato men and the inevitable laws of supply and demand make it certain that those who are anxious to bo taken around in agents' carriages will soon bo accommodated." About fifty persons were boating on tho littlo river last evening. Tho high stage of tho water makes it inviting these delightful evenings. A littlo accident occurred Wednesday evening which nearly resulted in giving some of the boys an opportunity to swim ashore or try it at least. A boat containing several persons ran against the Bivcr Queen at right angles, doing considerable damage and almostupsetting her. Some parties are getting up quite a large crowd to go out tomonrow ovening and glide over the placid waters. They expect to ascend the little river some distance. HE CAME TO SEE Another very delightful nartv-with ne dancing and refreshments, was held in Ben helscns new store building in the Fifth ward last night, which was attended bv a Urge number of respectable ladies and gen tlemen. Judge W. B. Warrick, of Urbana, Ohio, arrived in the city yesterday. He came di rect to Wichita to investigate matters for himseli concerning the big and everlasting boom that has for some timo been experi enced in this locality. The talk in his sec tion of the country, as well as every place else, is concerning the fabulous growth of the metropolis of the southwest. He heard so much of it that he thoaght it deserved investigation, to he is bore on his prospect ing tour. CROWDED HOTELS. The proprietors and employes of that pop ular fist-class hotel, the Manhatten, are com' pliningof being almost worked to death, so great is the rush of guests. Scarce a night come that they are not forced to reject guests, and their dining room is crowded to many hours each day that they have scarcely time to clean of! the tables.
