A. Richey, Capt. mouu or IT. Mr. AV. C. McCuno arrived yesterday from a visit of some weelL? to his old home in Clin ton county, Ohio. He like all our people who return from a vacation visit, brings good news for AArichita and Kansas. He reports finding people wherever he went earnest in their inquiries and eager to loam all they could of the so much talked of western city AVichita. Ho found no one but who had heard many tiinej of the city, and were not slow in saying "you havo quite a booming city out there, I hear." He heard many say the' were coming out here this fall and take a peep at the country and city. ursirr, i:tc. Yesterday near noon a gray team belong ing to Mr. AV. P. Piper, and in charge of his sou, becamo frightenod at the corner of Cen tral avenue and AVaco street. They took east on the avenue and many unsuccessful at tempts were made to stop them. On arriv ing at Lawrence avenue they executed a column-right and their speed was so great that the wagon to which they were attached upset in lino shape.

They were soon unhitched and the wagon "placed on its wheels." A gentleman in a carriage camo near being run into as they turned the corner. no moki: oi,n-Tiiu: stokms. A lino shower of rain fell at Valley Center yesterday and a very little here. How quiet the rains of late come. Haven't the old Kansans noticed it' How tho old-time sum mer storms ued to rush down upon us, the wind tearing up the earth and the lightning tearing up tho heavens, with flying dust below and rolling blackness above, 'mid crashingsof thunders the water came down in a deluge. Witlfin twenty minutes the conllict had ceased, the sun broke forth just before finally ilisappeariug for the night and there was a great cooling calm. 'Taint so any more, at least it hasn't been so for a couple of years. Till! 1UGGKST Mi:i,ON IX KAXSAS. Two or threo years since tho Eaglu chal lenged tho state on a sixty-one pound water melon, but yesterday, Mr. James S. AVaggen ncr rolled into our sanctum, a Cuban Queen, raised on his place, five miles south of tow n on the west side, which tipped the beam at seventy-two pounds. He would have shipped it east to some friends, but he couldn't get it into tho barrel he had provided, tho melon measuring four feet, nine inches ouo way and four feet, two inches tho other in circumfer ence. He had another of about the same weight, but of a longer shape, which just fits a Hour barrel, and that ho will ship on Sat day, when ho brings in another wagon load. Such a growth would be pheuominal in any other country oxcept in California or the Arkansas vallev. POLICE COUKT. But one case was on the docket for his hon or's adjudication yesterday. The offender was John Brown, "the same man or another one by tho tome name," his honor explained, "as was up yesterday." John had been sail ing around on West Douglas, in the vicinity of tho Douglas Avenue hotel, trying to pilot a considerable quantity of bug juice that he had on deck. Some one coming in the way ofyhe unsteady craft rose the wind and it was pretty squally in that section for a time. Policeman Clark came to the ir assistance however, and Brown was navigated towards the city prison. WTien he appeared in court ho found out that the fine imposed for such expeditions was $10. Here, again, John was left: for as it had taken all his money to get the cargo, he had nothing with which to jviy his revenue. So he put up liis chronometer for the amount and left to find smoother NKWART STOICK. Mr. Blackburn, of Detroit, who with Mr. VanDoni of the same citv came here to look at the prospects for starting an art store have readied the same opinion as uianv other prospectors, that AA'ichita is the pl'ace for tuem. After a long search for suitable quar ters they finally succeeding in securing tho room in the AVerner block recently vacated by the City Drag store. Thev will receive in a few days a large stock of oil lustre are- cine, mole-skin, and the new style Kensington paintings, also all kinds of nrtist's paints and materials, which they intend arranging in tho most attractive and artistic mannor nn thrown open to the inspection of all lovers of une arts ana tho public in ccneral at a rrand opening reception. THAT HIGHWAT ROBBEKV. The highway robbery which was reported to have taken place on the public street near the Santa Fo depot last night and whereby a man held up and compelled to fork over $500 does not, upon close investigation, appear to pan out well. Several of our shrewdest police officers have given tho day to this investiga tion, and the longer it continued the less plausible appears the story of the robbery. They state that they believe tho man had all of his money invested in his business, and that as he sold it for $05, receiving at the time but $27.50, they don't see how ho conld have been robbed of $500, AX IMPORTANT VISITOR. Hon. Henry Apthorp, commissioner of rail-1 roads and telegraphs, of Columbus, Ohio, who has been spending some days in going over our Kansas roads and studying the op perations of the traffic system from a western basis, made us a call yesterday in company J with Hon. G. W. Clement. Mr. Apthorp's opinion of the railway center of Kansas as expressed to us was a very flattering one. He said that he agreed with tho Eagle fully in its position that AVichita is undoubted a com ming comercial city of great importance, and that with the completion of the railroads al ready arranged for, there would bo nothing farther needed in tho way of transportation facilities to insure the lowest possible rates that the liveliest competition could afTord, while all the territory in any way tributary to this center will have been reached. AVhen we told him that AVichita was not only the greatest business emporium in the state today but that her people had every confidence that within five years her population would be from fifty to ono hundred thousand he an swered that he hadn't been in the town but a few hours before he felt impressed with the possibilities and wonderful spirit of the place. Commissioner A. went to Topeka yesterday to meet the Kansas board of railway com missioners. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A serious accident happened yesterday about 1 o'clock near the union depot. Mr. J. F. Fordyce, a young farmer living several miles east of the city, was with his wife returning home from attendance upon the Teachers' institute- He was driving a spirited young horse to a single, covered buggy. Although ho was exercising the greatest care in tho management of the ani mal, yet when about to turn from Fifth avenue to Oak street and cross the railroad track his horse became frightened at an en gine passing, commenced backing, then started plunging and kicking toward tho de pot, but meeting some obstruction turned quickly to the riglt, upsetting the buggy and throwing out Mr. and Mrs. Fordyce. They were dragged for some distance, but fortunately the shaft broke and the horse freed from tho buggy started for home but was captured several blocks east. A number of persons witnessed the runaway and expected to see both occupants of tho carriage killed They ran immediately to tho rescue, and it was found that while Mr. Fordyce escaped almost uninjured, his wife was badly hurt. She was carried to the residence of Dr. Bain, on Fifth avenue. Dr. McCormick was called in consultation and it was seen that she had received some injuries of the spino which will compel her to keep her bed for some time, and may, it is feared, result still more serious. INSTITUTE NOTES. Thursday closed the normal institute at Wichita; the exercises consisted of reviews of tho principal studies that have been fol lowed for the term. The classes were found to be very profici ent in all cases, showing that a large amount of work has been done by all connected with the institute; and it will be found that those that are employed at the same place as last year, will be greatly improved by attending tho institute; and better results can be look ed for. There is a great deal of expenso connected with the institute when wo count up the board and other expense, and somo one should reap the advantages; that the teacher does not is evident to any observing person, as there are a larjjc number of teachers that do not attend, yet tbej' get about tho same wages as thos that do. Still there are quite a number of school boards that visit the institute to see what is being done to im prove tho teachers. This has been a very successful term. AA'hilo the members do not equal last year, 3et there has been us much earnest hard work done as at any institute ever held in Sedgwick comity, perhaps more; all tending to mako this the most profitable session. There is a reason for this. In tho first place tho success depends largely on tho coun ty superintendent, as all matters portainiug to the employment of instructors depends on him, in fact all tho business matters nre in trusted to him, and unless a man is eminently qualified for his position it would be a great detriment to the success of tno Insti tute, but Mr. Hammond has always proved equal to every emergency, as a teacher or as superintendent. Mr. Jay as conductor has but few equals in the state. He not only has the knowledge of books but ho has the faculty of impartin information. That is the great reason for his success as a teacher. He is a very pleasant gentleman yet has the dignity that always commands respect Mr. Shull, although a stranger to us at the commencement, yet he has gained the respect and good will of all, as he has shown himself to be master of all he undertakes, so that while he had friends at the beginning hi has certainly two hundred more at the close of the institute that will remember him for what he has done for them. Mr. Pence has been with us before and is well-known and his classes will show the ef forts he has made for their advancement, and he will long be remembered as one of the teachers of the most successful! institutes ever held in this country. Mr. Hammond as a teacher is so well known that it is useless to say anything about him in this connection. All are pleased with the manner in which the institute has been conducted, there has not lxx-u so much bickering and little petty annoyances as in years past, but there has been an era of good feeling throughout: without the usual soft nonsense: we hear of some cases, but the first frost will obliterate all the ideas of soft nonsense that they might have caught here so that when tho teachers of this institute commence work they will be able to satisfy the people with whom they come in contact that the Sedgwick county normal institute has been of great advantage to the children of Sedgwick county.
