ATCHISON DAILY CHAMPION, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1889. FURNITURE AND CARPETS. JbOUTY-IlVE DOZEN Genuine Foster Miss Fannie Rohr had a rather exciting adventure yesterday afternoon. She was driving her father's horse down Fourth avenue, when the animal became frightened and ran away, notwithstanding her most heroic efforts to control him.

Martin, ex-Senator S. Pomeroy says: "How well I remember a young man, not twenty-one years of age, coming to my office in Atchison, Bnd proposing to Bettle'with us in the then new town of Atchison. I at once took to the young man, who said his name was John A. Martin, from Pennsylvania. Mr.

Short had bought the firwitter Sovereign, from me, but had not paid for it. The proposition was made me to have this young man take the paper, and I to take his note for fifteen hundred and release Mr. O. F. Short from one of the same amount.

This I readily did, as lie seeuied and as he proved to be too noble a man to take any advantage of his being under age. This was the beginning of a noble and useful career, which has been crowned with so much honor and usefulness for one third of a century. He has done his work nobly and fearlessly. His civil career was gilded by noble and brave deeds in the military service of his county. lie was never found wanting in either.

He was, as I have reason to know, a corstant and faithful friend, a patriotic and high- minded citizen, a true and faithful hus band and father. HeBOlutlonnof itexpect. The rector, wardens and vestry of Trinity church, Atchison, at a meeting held October 8, 1889, adopted the following resolutions: We have heard with sincerest regret and sympathy of the death of the Bishop of tlie diocese, the Right Reverend Thomas Hubbard Vail, D. D. We desire in our own behalf and that of the parish to place on record our grateful appreciation and remembrance of his faithful labors, his untiring industry, his upright life, and his thorough consecration to the work of building up the church of Christ in this diocese.

Especially do we recall with both pleasure and sad interest the early days of his Episcopate, when he was to tli is parish both Bishop and rector, and in both capacities loyal, conscientious and self sacrificing. It is with unfeigned sorrow that we think "we shall see his face no more." We extend our hearty sympathy to his wife and family under their sore trial and bereavement. "To God's gracious mercy and protection we commit them. The Lord bless them and keep them. The Lord make his face to shine upon them, and be gracious unto them.

The Lord lift up his countenance upon them, and give them peace, both now and evermore. Amen." F. K. Brooke, Rector. D.

The wife of Geo. II. Painter was yesterday declared insane by our Probate Court. Miss Stella Farrington entertained a Dumber of friends very pleasantly Tuesday evening. George Tofte bad a surprise ratty at bis house Tuesday night, but he kept it very quiet.

Adara Brenner, of Doniphan, who has been under the weather for some days, is better. New sidewalks are needed all over town, and Tom Tarrant had better "get a move on htm." J. P. Brown was la Hiawatha ysteer day to protest against a portion of his land being taken for a road. Lak kill an The Woman's Exchange will discontinue tlie lunches which have been a feature of their establishment during the summer, and direct their energies hereafter to the sale of such articles as may be furnished by the members.

The ladies have found it very difficult to conduct the lunch branch as it ought to be, and have wisely concluded to abandon it. The prospect of Boon having a street car connection with the north part of the city, by way of Fourth street, enthuses all class of the people. Seldom has there been, on any subject, such universal satisfaction. Senator Ingalls, when asked if he was in favor of a street railway up Fourth street, said: "Yes, I am in favor of civilization." Politics are growing exciting. At least Claud Martin and Judge Bean found them so yesterday.

They engaged in a discussion on Fifth avenue near the Court House, and in the heat of the argument, the former struck the latter on the head with a slung-shot. It is said that an unsettled political balance carried over from last year was the cause of the difficulty. Slung-shots will do for Alabama, but not for Kansas, gentlemen. Frank Price and James Caldwell, who burglarized Weber's store, and Emanuel King, who stole $10 from Speil- man's store, were taken to Lansing peni tentiary yesterday morning by Sheriff Barry and John B. Murphy.

They are all young colored men, and were chained together. Price told the Sheriff where a large amount of stolen property had been secreted in St. Joseph and Sheriff Barry will go after it as soon as possible. Major General Nelson Monroe, of John A. Andrew post, No.

15, Department of Massachusetts, is at the Byram. His business here is interesting the G. A. posts in making the $8 pension act a law. This act provides for increasing all $2, $4 and fl a month pensions to $8, and recognizes an honorable discharge as a proper voucher, doing away with the necessity of two witnesses who were com rades, and will entitle many widows and orphans to their just dues.

The expenses of the Orphans Home for September were 977.08. By the way the accommodations for the children are wholly inadequate, and something ought to be done to secure an immediate enlargement of the buildings. The late John A. Martin had that subject close at heart, and if he had lived would have seen to it that the capacity of the buildings were doubled. The Grand Army men of this city must keep up this fight.

The officers of the Atchison Water company spent the early part of the week In St. Louis interviewing Mayor Waggener for the purpose of arranging the termB of a new contract with the city. It is stated that there will be an entire revision of the rates and a great improvement in the service. The water company is determined to furnish its patrons with the best supply that can be obtained, and in the matter of rates it don't propose to allow any other city to show a better schedule. Dan Y'oung, of Northwest Atchison, came to the police station about 0 o'clock last evening for an officer to protect him from the Van Meter brothers, who had invited him to step outdoors and let them shoot at him.

The trouble arose from a mgnt uetweeu jane uoiy wite ana me (sixteen-year-old daughter of Young on fTuesday evening, in which Mrs. Doty came out second best. Officer Smith with a "trusty" went with him and brought the Van Meters to the station. They were allowed to return home on their own recognizance to appear at 0 o'clock this morning. The colored gentleman who sold electric belts opposite Tub Champion office last evening gave a lecture with each belt, which displeased one of his audience, who undertook to argue the matter with the lecturer and was worsted.

One of the police commissioners who heard the discussion concluded that the lecturer was liable to arrest for the language used, and ordered Officer Smith to take him in. The officer and his pris oners were followed to the station by I large crowd, all of whom sympathized with the victim. The man put up $10 for his appearance this morning, and was released.

Starr captured George Freeholz on the bridge last evening, and the frisky young lad will now rest quietly his allotted time in the county jail. The Electric Light company are ready to put in place their new one hundred and twenty-five horse power Ball engine, which will be here in about ten days. It is stated that the county high school and the court house cases will not be taken to the Supreme Court, but the tax will not be placed on the books this year. Dr. O.

I', llice, a well known citizen of Atchison county, and an old soldier, will be a candidate for Coroner, subject to the decision of the Republican convention. Marshall Park have secured a thousand dollar contract for the mill work of a church at Richmond, sixty-eight miles beyond "Poor old St. Joe." Thus do our factories reach out. Bryant Lanier, the young man who cut Hill Woods in East Atchison some time ago, and has been evading the officers since, was arrested and taken to St. Joe yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Smiley.

The Republicans of the North precinct of the fifth ward have noplace to hold their primary as yet, and we rcom-niend that the ward committee find a suitable room to-day and let the voters know it. Ed. Wills says that there was such a crowd in St. Louis on Tuesday that the sidewalks were blocked and people had to take the street. Cable cars couldn't run.

He had to come home because he couldn't find a place to sleep. Secretary Pierson of the association of stationary engineers waB vainly look ing for a competent man to fill a short vacancy in one of our mills. It is a healthy sign to Bee all our skilled mechanics profitably employed Mr. Frank Keabric, of Rulo, spent the early part of the week in town purchasing property.

Herman Jochems, poor commissioner, was before the county board yesterday to apply for a new pauper burying ground, there being but twenty-five graves left in the county plot at Mount Vernon. Mr. Jochems is in favor of a location at Sumner for this purpose. The Windsor meat market affords its patrons an opportuuity to chose from the very finest fish, oysters and meats that this city can offer. This market is steadily growing in favor both because of the quality and variety of the stock, and the care taken by the proprietor to suit all who call.

We commend the Windsor market to all who like good, fresh meat, fish or oysters as the place where they can be had. I 405 COMMEKCIAL STREET. HSTACLISIIED 1808. (OLD AND TRIED.) The Atchison County Abstract Office, 501 Commercial Street. TELEPHONE No.
