Sunday afternoon a horse attached to a cirriago became frightened on Wichita street, near Central avenue. A first-class runaway was tho result.

THE G0RD0NIAN KNOT Cut by Councilman Allen and Hence tlic Broad Smile Over the Sal ary Grab. IScal Estate Men in For a Black EyoTiie Kail road Business Shook Moro Water for the North ThcTelephonlc Fire Alarm System. Tho city council met last niirht in city chamber at promptly 7:20 o'clock with all the members present. It had been whispered on the street dur ing the day that tho famous salary grab or dinance would again bob up if all council men were present. When the roll call found that such was the case a rith smile seized a number of tho most arduous supporters of that measure. While tho clerk was wad ing througn tho long and laborous minutes uf tho previous regular and last call meeting tho interest in tho coming event perceptibly increased. When everything was ready for business his honor, the mayor, seizing a long, preparatory breath, said, "have a full council tonight and would like to have a vote taken on the salary ordinance." This wa3 sufficient to restore silence in the hall and looks of sur priso were not scarce whilo tho opposite kind could also bo detected. Mr. Allen was tho only member who had not committed himself on tho question and naturally thoso who were cognizant of that fact looked at him to see if they could foretell tho near future. Tho ordinance was read hurriedly and readily as tho clerk was not a stranger to the ordinance. Mr. Healy remarked that it was the samo ordinance that had been rec ommended by a majority of the finance com mittee. Tho names were called with tho fol f owing result: Ayes Healy, Harris," Stone, Chivington, Hoff and Allen. Nays Carey, Richoy, Brown, Kenyon. Healy I movo that tho salaries of tho councilmen bo given to tho Ladies IJenevo lont Homo. Allen I second tho motion. Kenj-on I amend that motion by includ ing the mayor's salary. Care' I certainly second that motion. This started a laugh around tho board, and for some reason all eyes wero turned to his honor who joined in tho laugh rather sluggishly. Mr. Carey then asked tho mayor if the motion and amendment wero in order, to which an energetic reply was made staling it was "out of order." This knocked the eyo out of the benevolent scheme, and Healy, as chairman of the pub lic improvement committee, commenced his report by asking that tho shado trees on Main street, bet.vccn Douglas avenue and English street, bo cut down. His suggestion was well taken and tho street commissioner ordered to cut them down. Mr. Suinpsit was allowed a bill on work done iu curbing and guttering. Mr. Healy said ho had the city engineer to ruu a line from the corner of Market and Orrao streets to the river for tho purposo of ascertaining the fall for sewerage. Ho found that it was near ono Inch to tho foot. Ho considered that there was nothing of as vital importanco to tho city a3 tho sowerago question, no thought it had been clearly demonstrated that the city could bo drained as well as any cit'. no said thero was a company hero that would sewer the city, but ho was in favor of tho city doing it. Richey It seems to mo that tho street com mitters Mas instructed to givo a list showing tho cost of the Topeka avenue sewer. I don't think tho present system is practical at all. Carey Think wo ought to have moro sew erago. I would move, however, that tho re port bo laid over until tho noxt meeting aud allow the street committee and tho mayor to investigate tho question. Richey proved his second and the motion carried. Mr. HofT, as chairman of the gas commit tee, asked that an electric light bo placed at tho corner of Lawrence and Central avenues. It was allowed. Mr. Allen set in a plea for a gas lamp at the corner of Emporia avenue and Third street. It was also allowed. When Mr. Cnrey, as chairman of tho railroad committee, arose to mako his report tho council seemed to recognizo that perhaps a difficult task was near at hand. He said that tho committee did not desiro to make a report on tho Wichita and Winfleld road. Tho committco recommended the parage of the Wichita aud Suburban railway franchise. As to tho motor line leading up Market street to Riverside park ho desired that to bo continued until tho uext meeting owing to tho fact that the citi zens on Market street had sent in a large petition asking that tho ordinance bo not passed. Harris I move that both the streot rail way ordinances bo laid ou the table. Mr. Stone availed himself of the opportu nity to second a motion. Attorney W. E. Stanley then asked per-mis-iou of tho council to speak on the mo tion before tho body. Ho said that the Rivorsido motor lino question had been on hand a long timo and in order to expedite matters he would remove Market street, which would compel the line to run on Water, street. Healy This favors the ow uers of Riverside addition. They have spent about $100,000 over there and have greatly increased the value of property in that part of tho city. They have nover asked a cent from an3'oue. Carey If Market street as left out I think both ordinances should be parsed. Harris I withdraw my motion. Richay I am in favor of passing tho Riv erudo ordinance as it is. Thjre will ba a kick, no matter w hat street is taken. Healy I understand that Mr. B. H. Campbell is in Chicago and asks that the council take no action tonight ou this ques tion. E. C. Ruggles Mr. Campbell wrote me to ak the railroad committee to postpone ac tion until his return. It is a fact that the street railway company have spent $2S,000 moro than the charter of the compauy calls for and the earnings of the com pany iu extending their lines iu onler to accommodate the growing citv. They did this thinking they had the exclusive franchise. They looked to tho future growth of the city for pay. Richey Tho extensions of the line wore i built largely from subsidies. Healy Can you forbid them from occupy ing any street not already occupied? Campbell Certainly you can. The privi lege ix with the council. One council is not bound by the action of another. Rubles Wichita, as it now exists, can I possi ily support on company, but by allow- j ing two or three to come in it is doubtful if j nnv nf ffiA-n nan mr tarvii tn thn rir- i The may jr (looking at tho clerk) Is there ' amotion oefom the council 1 Me was informed that there was a motion ' to the effect that further timo be given the committee on tho Wichita and Winfield rail road scheme. That motion prevailed. Kenyon Think should lay the other two ordinances on the table. Stanley Tho Riverside Land Company af-ks to build its own line. The old company wanted too much bonu3 and concluded to build it themselves. Mayor According to resolution passed at lait meeting these ordinances should bo pub lished before council acts. Allen Did not intend in that resolution to include present business. Stone I move that both ordinances be continued until the next regular meeting, Hnff Second tho motion. Tho Hon. Rodolph Hatfield then gaining tho permission of tho council said "That Wichita and suburban ordinance has been before the council eight weeks. Mr. Allen's resolution was a good ono but, as he says, it does not apply to this; There aro capitalists out of this city who are waiting to risk money m a motor iiue, Thiscomnauv don't ask a bonus. Tho motor power for such purpose has proved a success in other cities and want a chance to try it here. Tho point is wo want it acted upon now. You now have a full council and now is tho time. Mule power is all right for a city of a few thousand. In Kansas City Jim Corrigan had control for years and kept it as long a3 possible and accommodated tho peo ple as little as ho could and comply with tho ordinance. There aro many outside districts that need better transit. Wo need moro rapid transit, and, gentlemen, when wo get more rapid transit we get cheaper transit. This company asks no bonus, Dut only asks you for the right of way. The motion carried to defer action on both ordinances until tho next meeting. Care' Want to call the attention of tho public improvement committeo to tho con dition of tho streot car track on Douglas avenue. Mr. Harris on behalf of tho firo committee reported favorably on ordiuance providing for the telephonic fire alarm system. Each instrument would cost 82.j per year aud at present "six were necessary. The ordinance was adopted. Harris Want a boll for fire alarm. Think it should be ordered now. Allen Get a chestnut bell. Harris Ring off! Carey I movo wo get a bell weighing 1,1300 pounds. His motion carried. Mr. Stone, chairman of tho water works committee, said that some montha ngo a pe tition had been submitted to tho com mittee, asking that mains bo extended on Waco Etreet from Oak to Thirteenth and thenco to Fairview avenue. Ho reported fa vorably and same ordered. When ttio licenso committee was called Mr. Carey directed tho attention of tho council to ordinanco 145, which has formerly been referred to in tho Eagle. Ho wanted to know if real estate men were expected to pay a licenso of $.j0 per year. Campbell I doubt very much if they can bo compelled to pay it. Healy Am in favor of making it so they will bo compelled to. Carey I more that tho city attorney draw up an ordinanco compelling real estate brokers to pay a license. His motion was passed. Mr. Chivington, chairman of tho library committee, stated that tho city library would bo without a keeper after the first of next month, and seemed to bo at a loss to know what to do about tho matter. Mr. Carey finally moved that tho question bo referred to the library committee, aud the mayor with iower to act. HON. JOHN G. CARUSr,!:. Hon. John G. Carlisle and wife arrived in the city Sunday night. An Eagle reporter last evoniug called at tho residence of his son3, W. K. and L. L. Cnrlislo on North Emporia to find if there bo any truth iu tho report, o3 stated by tho Times-Star, that he will shortly remove from Covington to Wichita and make here his fu ture homo. Mr. Carlisle and his wife wero sitting in tho library reading, when the reporter was ushered into their prosenco by Mr. L. L. Carlislo. When tho object of the call was stated ho roplied: ''There is not a shadow of truth about it. Tho report eui enated from tho samo source as that pub lished a short timo ago that I was making largo purchases of land in Kansas with the intention of moving here." nis son afterwards reiterated his father's remarks, saying that he knew his father hail no idea of leaving Covington, he was born within twenty miles of that city and had lived thero over since ho was nineteen years of ago and was thus closely identified wi h the interests of tho people aud state. If he was to leave Kentucky bo believed that he would come to Wichita in preference to any other place. ASSIGNMENT. Yesterday morning papers were filed with the register of deeds by which Messrs. Leslie M. Combs aud II. R. Roller, as co-partners doing business at tho "Fair," ou North Main street, make an assignment of their store to S. T. Majors, the papers being dated Novem ber 6. Mr. Majors told a reporter that lie could not assign any reason for tho assignment other than a lack of business and neglect of the interests of tho lirm. lis placed the liabilities aro about $4,000 and believes that the stock of goods on hand will be sufficient, if not forced to sell, to pay off the entire in debteduess. Mr. McCombs says the stock in the establishment is worth at least $5,000: Mr. Taylor, ho rcver, thinks it will not in voice that much. THE SHAKESl'EAKlANA. Last eveuiug in the parlors of the Sterling, No. 2:37 North Market street, there was or ganized a society of ladies and gentlemen for tho purpose of studying the writings of Shake-peare, and the following officers wvre elected: President, Mrs. Kanouse; vice president, Oscar DeLong; Secretary, Miss Dora Wadsworth; treasurer, Harry Evans. The meetings will be held every Monday evening at the residence of the members, and promises to be highly interesting and instruc tive to those attending. Hamlet will be the first work taken up. and the club hope to accomplish a great deal in this and other plays daring the winter. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Richards No. 1112 North Market street. STOLEN. Last evening Isaac "VV.

THE FAIR Opens With a Good Attendance at the Opera House. Fine Exhibits of Beautiful and Costly Needle work, Toilet Articles and "Works of Art. The Catholic fair at the opera house was formally opened last night. There was a good attendance and a keen and lively inter est taken by all to make it a great success. For some time the ladies of the church have been busily engaged preparing the room for the reception of their friends and they may well congratulate themselves upon the success that ha3 attended their efforts. Upon entering the hall on the right aro first tho tables, upon which is served a fine sup per or dinner, oysters, or any other of the delicosies that may bo ordered. This ap peared to be a very well patronized depart ment, and if ono may judge from tho appear ance of supreme satisfaction that shono from tho face of its patrons, a highly successful department Next on the right is the fancy table, pre sided over by Miss Emma Crist and Miss May Stafford. Here are exhibited toilet sets, pincushions, fancy work of all kinds, and in the rear upon the wall is hung a large and elegantly worked piano cover and an equally beautiful plush banner. Tho ar rangement is unique and novel and makes in all a strikingly beautiful bazaar. Miss Tillio Kelsch presided at tho next, tho candy stand, and offered for sale tho most enticing confectionery and sweetmeats. Or,, if you should not care for anything in that line, die can accommodate you with a clear Havana filler and "throw in a match. Miss Mollie Friend runs the picture gallery and will show all the great works of art oil paintings by tho old masters and new mas ters, photographs, heliotypes, lithographs chromos aud everything else that go to make a complete and well organized art gal lery. Thi3 interesting collection is not open to tho inspection of all but only thoso who have tho extra ten cents, a mere pittianco to be given for such a rare exhibition. Closely connected with the art gallery is the postoffice. Misses Josio Stafford and Ella Stanton aro postmistresses. This postal department has some advantages-over Un do Sam's, for anyono can call for a letter and always get it if ho happens to have a dime. Besides lettera can bo mailed for anywhere from Valley Centre to Hong Kong, China. Upon tho stage wero exhibited the gold watch and writing desk to be voted off. A blackboard near by keeps a record of the success that attends each of tho candidates. Already Ben Kclch and P. V. Healy have each ten votes for tho watch; and Mary My singer aud Elida Flagg each 23 votes for the writing desk. Coming down on tho left side of tho build ing will be seen tho quilt bazaar, whero is exhibited tho.elegant quilt to bo given away. Mesdumes Greiil'enstein, Tagney and Kno blauch take of this bazaar. Tho quilt is a raro and beautiful pieco of needlo work. It is made of 20 squares, in the center of which aro embroidered most beautifully and artis tically all tho beautiful and choice flowers, one squaro having a center piecj of tho harp of Ireland with tho words, "Erin Mavourneen" beneath, all encircled with a wreath of shamrocks. By the side of thy i3 the sales table in chargo of Mrs. J. M. Leveridge. Here, be sides the many rich and raro toilet sots and specimens of fancy work, arc sold tickets for tho lot in tho Academy addition, on the West Side, and for a complete bed-room set. Mrs. Lynch at her bazaar, tho next one, also offers tickets for this flno bed-room set. At her toblo is also a china tea set, a costly sofa pillow, pin cusions, dolls, albums, vases, casters, aud mauy other pretty and dosirablo articles. In tho corner is the fish pond, in which a group of young people wero trying their luck. Tho fishers did not appear to have tho ordinary fisherman's luck, but evcry tirao they drew out the lino were rewarded by finding some prize on the hook. In the center of tho room is Rebecca's well, a mysterious fountain from which Miss Lydia Flagg draws forth sweet draughts to quench the thirsty visitors. In front of this is a largo safe belonging to tho Mosler Safe company, bnt so profuse is Father Casey in its praiso that tho general opinion prevails that tho generous agent cannot refrain from presenting at least half its value to the fair. f ; The fair has certainly opened out under tho most favorable auspices, and everything points to the fact that it will bo a highly successful event.

Sunday afternoon a young man named John Frankinstein, a cigar maker employed at Futado & Co's. manufactory entered Eck ert's restaurant, and being somewhat intoxi cated, commenced abusing the clerk at the lunch stand, Mr. PowelL The latter en deavored to quiet the man, when ha grabbed up a butcher knife from the counter and com menced stabbing at him furiously, inflicting several very ngly wounds, one- upon the cheek, another upon tho chin, and a very large gash which severed tho cords of the left arm. Powell, exhausted from loss of blood, sank to the floor and was carried to his room, where medical aid was immediately sum moned and tho wounds dressed. Policeman McKeo being notified of tho affair went in search of Frankinstein Arrested him and brought him before his honor charged with being drunk and disor derly. Ho will be rearrested by tho state upon another charge. Powell is still confined to his room, but will bo able to be about in a short time. ANOTHER. A young man who lives on Mosely with his mother, Sunday made n murderous assault with an ax upon an aged neighbor. The circumstances of tho case as learned from his neighbors are as follows: Tho youg man had be2n unusually attentive to tho young wife of his gray-haired neighbor. Last week ho went so far as to persuade her to accompany him to a place and there live with him. He car ried off part of tho household goods and Sun day returned for the remainder. The old gentleman , objected to this, and after tho two men had exchanged a few words the assault was made. Tho wounds although painful are not thought saverc, tho largest being the ono upon the head inflicted by the sharp edge of tho axe. The assailant was arrested by Officer Joe Stewart and put into tho cooler, rowel; couut. His honor held his reception yesterday tnorsing and wa3 greeted by quite a largo and interesting collection of callers. Four fingered Jack, II. L. Jackson, and Newton Stenman came in first under escort of an officer, "What's tho chargo" inquired his honor. '-Drunk'' replied the officer. "Jack and tho rest of you, what do you hay?" "Guilty." "Well, you aro pretty good judges of such things so I will flno each of you S3 and costs." Next came, P. R. Trotter, tho man who had mado such a sturdy resistance to arrest Saturday afternoon. Ho was charged, first, with being drunk and disorderly, becocdly, with resisting tho officer; for tho flisthe paid S7 and the second $12. John Frankstein followed. Ho had dis tinguished himself by cutting a young man uamed Powell, at Eckert's restaurant, aud was fined $17 for being drunk and disorder ly. Ho could pay only SO. Frank RhoaJes was another blood-thirsty culprit. Ho paid $5 for a drunk and -S17 for drawing concealed weapons. Lastly came Mattio Malone, who had been drunk and disorderly; sbo left with tho city treasury 5, Tho judgo then suspended operations until in tho afternoon, when a fresh lot of visitors came up from tho Ironclad. There was John Doe and Richard Roe who hail been scuflling and disturbing the peace. Richard pleaded guilty and was lined $5; but John waft released. Jesoio Wells and Maud Jeffreys were both charged with being drunk and wero fined 5 each, which they paid and departed. NEW BOOKS. Wo were yesterday shown a fac-simile of a letter from Mrs. James A.
