G. Carlisle That which promises to be one of tho most eniovableand thoroughly pleasant society occasions ever transpiring in our ciLy, will be the public reception at the opera nousc this afternoon to be given in honor of the presence in our city of Hon. J. G. Carlisle, the Speaker of the National House of Representatives, and his estimable wife.

That our people will honor themselves by thus paying their respects to so distinguished a gentleman none will question. There may be those who will feel a diffidence in meeting such a personage in so public a manner, but wo take pleasure in assuring all that Mr. Carlisle is one of tho most affable and kindly disponed gentleman in public life, while both ha and Mrs. Carlisle are delighted "with our city and bDth anxious to become more closely acquainted with our people. There can there-foie be no excure for any lady or gentleman remaining away.

The reception will take place at the opera-house this afternoon, be-giuiug at o'clock and continuing till evening, which place has been prepared and elaborately decorated for the occasion. The Eagle sincerely hopes to see a largo turnoutlarge enough, at least, to convince both Governor Carlisle and his wife that, al though we are of a young, rushing and busy metropolis, nevertheless we are not unmindful of the uipenitles, polish and proprieties nertaiuimr to social life. The various com mittees having the matter in hand, including the committee on arrangements, are thoroughly representative of the society circles of our city, and if each make? his aud her duty the pleasure that it shoulu be, Speaker Carlisle and wife will go back to their Kentucky home not only favorably impressed with our city, but delighted with our people.

building, which will afford an opportunity for such as cannot be present at the general reception of the afternoon, to meet and form the acquaintance of our dis tinguished guests. Wo will only add in conclusion that all this has been arranged for in the most hurried manner, and by men whose every minute is occupied by the demands of their business and professions, mid if there has been any mistakes or oversights no one should feel sliiditled or hurt, but attribute it to the real cause, the hurry in which the entire matte-was necessarily arranged for. A FINK TKVTI.nONIAL. On last Saturday evening Mr. Geo.

E. Spalton, manager of the Lombard Mort gage company who resigns to go ,0 Lurope in the course of a few days, and who wili be succeeded by Selah S. King, was sent for in great haste to come down to the bank build-i lg. Arriving upon the ground he found the mortgage company's force and the bank force in possession of his office. Without deigning any explanations Mr.

kos Harris opened up in tho name of those present in one of his most taking speeches, at the con clusion of which he handed Mr. Spalton a magnificent gold watch of splendid design and finish with his mouogram beautifully chased on the qjiverso side. Mr. Spalton never lacks for a happy response, which in this iustancowas a feeling one. Lindsay, Humphrey, Skinner, King and Harris and Miss May Skinner we believe were the donors of the magnificent testimonial of worth and appreciation.

What happened after the speech making aud after tho ladies had withdrawn may only bo guessed at. but it was a lato hour before the last hack disappeared fiotn that corner. TO HOKK l'OK GAS. Mr. J.

W. Heath, of Clarendon, Pennsylvania, who wrote the Eagle a few weeks ago touching a proposition to bore for natural gas in Wichita, mention of which was mado at the time, arrived in the city yesterday. Mr. Heath is an expert and the owner of gas well machinery. Whilo a strongly flowing well of natural gas would be worth a million dollars to Wichita, he says ho nor anyone can tell whether it is here or not before a test is made which would cost considerable money.

The hole nut down here, which was eleven hundred feet deep would, ho says, decide nothing, as we would have to go below sea level for gas in all probability. The fat that this Ls out-siilo of t.h eo.il measures cuts no fisnire a majority of the best wells arc found outside of those measures. nope mac our peo- pie, or at lease some mmmii- tee may oe goitm logeuie. iu ne.u -mi. Heath, who not ontv conies well recom mended, but who is known away from home as a solid, substantial man.

A RUNAWAY. Yesterday morning the driver of express wagon No. S5 left hLs team standing on Douglas avenue near the Santa Fe depot and went into a store. The next glimpse of his property showed his two horses, frightened, rushing down the avenue, kicking at each other, at tho wagon and every jwrson or thing that ventured to come near enough to serve them as a target They were finally stopped in front of the Star stables, badly bruised, and tho front of the wagon showing plainly the effect of their supcriorkill as kickers. A CHALLENGE.

The ministers and Sunday school superintendents challenge the lawyers, doctors and hankers to a game of lall next Monday afternoon; proceeds for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. THE CiTY COUNCIL Looses its Kuddcr and Palls for the Shore With Full Sails.

His nonor, the Mayor, Bcsizna his 1'osish and the Council Plays Trumps and Sweeps the Hoard "No Money No Wort," the Jlotto. "Tonight is council was the frequent assertion made 5-esterday" on the streets. Sometimes the same words were put in the form ofa question, and upon Imj-ing assured in the affirmative a discussion concerning what that body would do, would inrnrinlik fnllmv. SolillO WOUld SaV, 'tue thing was others would agree in saying they believed the terse assertion was true, but would add that they did not taink it would fire, while others said that they would risk the cigars on it that it would ex-plodo if any fire came in sight. So the talk went on upon the street, all arivJng that there was a chance at least, to see t.o-ncthing done of dimensions.

As the day advanced tho interest jwrccpt-ibly increased. This was probably caused largely by a number of bloody rumors that gained circulation. It was believed by some that the Santa Fe depot question would bob up again serenely aud shako its head sancily demanding a new investigation. The dummy line to the Riverside park, it was affirmed, would make its little bow to tho fathers and ask a being. In addition to these "dynamite like' questions it was recalled that the committee on salaries would make a report which was likely to result in a fiamo if fanned on the proper side.

As would bo expected quite a number assembled at tho city chamber to see what would actually bo done. When the roll was called Councilman Carey, Heal-, Brown, Richey, Harris, Kenyon, Chivington and Stone, answered to their names. Mr. Allen, "bninmntt nf tlm finance committee, was tho only member absent. Tho minutes of the previous meeting being read it was noticed that the statement was made that, his honor, the mayor, had withdrawn his resignation.

This seemed to bo quite a surprise to some of the councilmcn as it was not generally understood that his honor had so acted. At the time for correction no one mado any inquiry if it was a mistake. In the absence of Mr. Allen, who was sick, Mr. Ilealy read the report cf tho finance committee, to whom the matter of arranging salaries for the city officials was referred.

Among other things the committee submitted was the following: Your conunitteo, to whom was referred tho ordinance fixing salaries of city officials, beg leave to submit tho following recommendation: per year. Mayor's salary w)0 Vitift Inifin 1 City Attorney 1,000 tXX) 1,080 720 000 800 Citv Marshal Policemen each Treasurer Citv engineer. J. P. Allen.

P. V. Healy, C. C. Kenyon, Committcs.

When the reading of the report was fin ished Mr. Harris said, "I think we ought to stretch out that a year for councilmen. Don't think their work is worth a darn. I move that the report bo adopted." His motion received a second. ltichey I movo an amendment that the mavor receive 3 a year.

Mr. Carey seconded his amendment. ltichey I want the names called on this question. Tho name were called, with the following result: Ayes Carey, ltichey, Chivington, Brown. Hotf.

Nays Healy, Harris, Stone, Kenyon. When the vote was announced Mr. Harris said, "Beat out of it, your in a sort an oil-hand way. His honor then said, "--suppose that means carried. You are well aware of tho position I am in.

If that is the way you come at me I dout want to be mayor any longer." Kenyon "I move that his resignation be Richey Do I understand that tho mayor has submitted his resignation I Mayor Yes sir. Richey "That being tho case I necondMr. Kenyous Tiie question then arose as to who should act as president, Each councilman favored his breathreu with a half -arred look and seemed to wonder where the old ship of state was going to land. A painful silence pervaded tho entire hall and somj looked as though the- expected sv calamity to be telegraphed into the city at any moment. Finally Air.

Healy suggested that Mr. Carey, of tho oldest members of tho council, ha thought it would bo proper for him to place the motion before the body foravote. Mr. Carey after being urged by thO council acceded to their wishes. The names were called with the following result: Ayes Carey, Richey, Brown, Kenyon, Chivington.

Nays Healy, Harris, Hoff, Stone. When tho name of Mr. Harris was called he said ho would vote in the negative but before going further ho would say that ho thought it very unfair. He was thoroughly opiosed to that way of acting. Before the vote was anuouncod Mr.

Carey said, "I want to explain myself before the vote is announced. I am aware that the mayor has more to do than tho councilmen, but all of us were aware of what our salaries would be when we accepted our positions. I think the mayor has done his duty while in office. It being so near the time for a new council to be elected I think we should re-ceivetho present salaries." Harris I don't think ho cares for the money, but it i3 tho principal of the thing. Ex-Mayor Aldrich then said, "I thank jou irentlcmeu.

It removes from me a great re- snonsibilitv." After so saying he vacated tho hall. Mr. Carey moved that Mr. Harris act as president pro tern. His motion received a second Tho motion carried unanimously, and Mr.

Harris, in taking the chair at the head of the council board said: "I thank you for tho honor, but I am ont of place. I feel like we are busted up." Healy I move wo adjourn. Brown I second tho motion. Campbell Have some ordinances to read tonight. Harris Can do no financial business to Campbell The council is organized for! business.

Healy I don't understand that wo can do any business in the absence of a mayor. If you can find it in the law, all right Campbell, taking up a law book I will find it nere. JAlter looking a few moments ho read soma law on the subject. Healy You can't allow any bills. The question of adjournment is not debatable.

By that time the speaker had succeeded in removing his hat from the hat rask and was making preliminary arrangements for absconding. Carey Would suggest that wc meat Thursday night. The suggestion was accepted and the council adjourned. After the adjournment the crowd was very reluctant about leaving the hall. The question of the mayor's resignation was the sole subject of conversation.

Some scorned to think his honors actions rather strange to say the least. The history of the whole affair was rehearsed. When the salary question was first introduced some recalled that Capt. Carey had spoke rather extensive and earnestly against allowing the councilmtn and mayor a compensation, at least during this term. At the close of his remarks Mr.

Aid-rich had said that he was not asking a salary. "I tell von. ritrht here," he continued, if von vote me a salary-1 won't accept it." This statement, placed by the side of his state ments aud actions on tho very next meeting, and those of last night seemed to baffle explanation from tho.se who were disposed to bo-most lenient. IE will be noticed that the report of the conunitteo last night raised the city attorney's salary from 5600 to 900 per year. After the mayor's resignation, Mr.

Campbell said he did not know that ho was city attorney any longer, as ho had been appointed by the mayor. He seemed perfectly willing to resign if it was deemed his duty. It was stated by some last night that; an election for mayor would have to be called within ten days. rORTV-THREETIIKCE-STOUVBOirjTHNGS. A neighbor in a nearby town intimates that the Eagle's late comparison of the building being dene by Wichita and Kansas City respectively, might safely be modified.

Not a bit of it. What was said was no guess work. By actual couut, made yesterday, we find now being completed, or courso of construction, in this city, forty-three three- story brick, two four story brick, aud one five story brick aud stone combination business houses, all of which will be completed by January if tho weather holds good. What wo said was, that outside of the new seven-story stone office-block being erected in Kansas City, Wichita was putting as much money into jiennanent business strictures this season as was Kansas City. We take nothing back.

Y. M. C. A. Last evening was tho first anniversary of the Y.

M. C. and a large audience assembled to join with the members of this worthy association in celebratiu their first and prosperous year's existence in this city. After the reading of a beautiful and appropriate selection from the Scripture, by Rev. Parker, of the Congregational church, prayer was offered by Rev.

Hodgson, of the First M. E. churca, followed with an anthem by the choir of St. John's Protestant Episcopal church. Mi.

J. C. Rutan, president of the association, then arose and said that tho official year closed with November. A report by the general secretary had already been made, but fearing that many had not yet read it, ho would mahe brief synopsis of the year's work: Tho association was organized November 0, 18S5, and on the 1st of Novetiiber they secured their present quarters, consisting of one room used as a reception, reading, sitting and general secre-tarv's room a very much used apartment; another, a hall with a seating capacity of about 100. Jauuarv IJOth the institution was incorpor ated annt charter taken out.

On March 10th tho present general secretary, Mr. Baird, was secured. Since then tho associa tion has been well officered. Last May tho district conference of the Y. M.

C. A. was held here and it resulted in much trood to tho institution. Soon after ward a canvass.was bojrun for tho purpose of purchasing a loi and placing upon it an association building. Nino thousand dollars has been paid on tho lots and $13,000 has been secured in pledges.

Tho lots bought are sit uated on the corner of First and Topeka and First aud are 75x110. The aim of the association is too well known to need any further explanation than to say it is for tho a Ivaucemeut of the social, moral and spiritual welfare of young men. Zealous committees are" at work, going into tho street, hotels, boarding houses aud rail road depots, and inviting young men to coino to tho meetings. The Ladies' Auxiliary has dono much to aid tho cause; they have provided as far as possible pleasaut and apptizing eatables for socials. The membership "3 KW, average daily attendance at reading room Sunday afternoon prayer meeting 57; the last three months the attendance has been from 60 to TO, last Suudav 111.

During tho year nineteen young men have been converted, aud three backsliders havo been reclaime 1. In future ho says thoy will profit from past experience and much can le accoin-lished. We have, first, to provide 2,500 for current expenses of tho forthcoming year; aud, second, about to complete the buildiuj. This amount ought to bo pledged; tho foundation should be put ia this fall. Wo havo no library.

The Ladies Auxilliary will make a canvass aud ask ouo good book from each house in this city. Another need is a lot in tho cemetery in which to inter the young men who die hero and away from home. Ho kindly asked anyone who may think of making a will to add a bequest giving something to tho institution. Or if they should wish to see the good j-esult of their money they can endow it before they die and then watch its progress. He then expressed the thanks of tho association to the press, preachers, business mm, and to tho good people in general who have givan them assistance.

A solo, "La wa- then sung with exquisite sweetness and feeding by Miss Earl. Mr. Baird, tho general secretary, came in from tho depot and stated th.it the speaker of tho evening, Rev. H. W.

George, had been delayed by a railroad accident of soino kind noar Sedgwick and he would not be hero before 10 o'clock. He then presented a snecint report of tho past year's business; afterward the chcir rendered a lwautiful quartette, "Sweet and Lo While tho audience was awaiting Mr. George's arrival Mr. Tred Bell was introduced and entertained the audience by a short talk and several songs.

There being considerable anxiety among some of the creditors of the Wichita Schuyler Electric Light caused by the defalcations of tho nresident of the Schuyler Co.

at Hartford, Mr. E. J. Welch, the superintendent of the Wichita plant, desires to say that as yet there is no cause for anxiety on the part of creditors, as the condition of the cmnpany financially is not so bad as at first renorted. and as the following letter and clippings from the Hartford daily pa pers will show.

The allowing is a letter received by Mr. E. J. Welch from Mr. Chas.

This is trouble which could not bo foreseen or provided for, but am confident for the future, if our creditors do not press us before we have time to realizes upon our assets, aud turn matters so as to bring funds. Yours very truly, Chas. E. Dustin, The following is tho result of tho meeting of tho principal creditors: orriCE or ScauYLxn Electric Light Company, Hartford sepu.

Holsies, Booth Haydens, Fitciiburg Steam Engine Watertown Steam Engine W.

A. Simons, Trastee. The following is a clipping from tho Hartford Daily Post dated September 2o: The Schuyler Electric Light company is safe according to Mr. C. E.

Dustin, the secretary. A meeting of tho directors was held this morning and it was unanimously voted to ask the parties holding the company's paper with Bartholomew's endorsement for a few days in wincn to reanzo on meir ussuus. Mr. Dustin said that yesterday the employes were given 40 per cent, of their wages and today they would get the balance. Tho men nil enfwfiiwl mifl Tiovfr.

Bv next Tuesday wo will have a meetiug, at which wo hope to have every thing straignteueu out. iue piuuu iis never in such fine condition as at the present time." iLVtmv Tmrli nf vnur nntiflr IS Ollt With Bartholomew's endorsement' Is it "No, not near mat sum: ou5 ic is neavy enough." The following is from the Hartford Daily Times, dated Sept. 23.

This concern has paper indorsed by Mr. Bartholomew to about 8200,000, as stated in the Times yesterday. Tho company knows that this is all of its outstanding paper, because it keeps its own note book, and Mr. Dustin's name as treasurer must appear on every note. This morning tho company received letters from financial men in Saw Vnrl- to the effect that if tho Schuvler com pany was to continue to make the same showing its uusiuuss us ueiciu-fore, tho company would not have any ditliculty in discounting us paper.

The company nau tne oeneui 01 Bartholomew's name on its paper, and this was a great help, particularly wheu it needed ready money for some particular piece of work. The statement that the Schuyler company hail closed its shops and discharged its hell) is untrue. Before even the Pluukett defalcation it was decided to reduce the number of employes. This was because the business was growing too largo for its present amount of power at tho factory. Tho superintendent recommended to Mr.

Dustin a reduction of thirty per cent of its help, if additional power could not bo obtained. Yesterday tho employes were paid forty per cent of their wages. Today they will receive the sixty per cent balance. At 10 o'clock this forenoon creditors of tho Schuyler company, representing four-fifths nf its indebtedness, held a meeting in the company's office, and decided after a statement of the company's condition, that every offort must be made to continue tho company aloug. Its business is in a most flourishing condition, and if a littlo time is given it, there will be ierfet solvency.

Next Tues--day will bo held a meeting of all tho creditors, and then ill be considered tho b.st means of arranging for funds to tide tho shoal water. Tho credi tors their utmost coulidenco in the management and tho certainty of the company's buiuess putting it on ito feet, uuhani- nered bv such embarrassment as now pre vails. It has some SHo.OO'J in bills against two electric plants about completed, which will be paid shortly. Ol'El'A HOUSE TONIGHT.
