Yesterday the Wichita Plumbing and Pump company shipped 100 pumps to the Crane company of Kansas City, Missouri. This is tbe biggest house of the kind in the country and the fact that it buys all its wooden pumps from Wichita is a great and well deserved compliment to the Wichita house.

It is particularly complimentary in view of the fact that the discrimination of the railways will not allow anything but a local rate of freight on these shipments. Mr. Buck-ridge, the manager of the Wichita Plumming and Pump company; says that he can compete with the world even against tbe discrimations of the railways, but thinks as a matter of right and justice that he should be given car-load rates on car-load lots. The AVicbita Plumbing and Pump company by a superior knowledge of the business are enabled to beat the world in selling pumps and more than that they manufacture them here in Wichita, thus giving employment to home labor. They have their own traveling men, who are rustling business in every direction, and practically controlling tho trade against all outside concerns.

They will add two more men to their travelling force on the first of the month one of whom thpy have taken away from one of the best houses in tbe United States by reason of offering him better inducements. They hauulo every thing in the line of plumbing and pump goods and carry an immenso stock of them in their house on North Market street which is oue of the busy places in town. The Kansas Plumbing and Pump compmy is one of the nourishing institutions of Wichita and as it is a very enterprising company it ought to flourish for, after all, enterprise is the true basis of success. A illXKJ) CKCnVI). The John Martin Democrats and Populists were flocking into Topeka, Sunday night, for what purpose is selfevident.

A party from Caldwell, numbering twenty, went north on the Rock Island, about one-half of them being Populists and the balance of them febion Democrats headed by S.im Woodson, who says that if John Martin is not the caucus nominee th.it the Seventh congressional district will never again fuse with the Populists, and that they can go to thunder as far as assistance from Democrats is concerned. Jerry Simp-ou's manifesto to Chairman Jone, he says, has about killed all fitiion sentiment anyhow and further savs it will be next to impossible to pull Sumner county Democrats to the "fusion altar" this year, if John Martin is turned down in the Populist caucus. No power on earth he states can bring them to take the dose they took last year. Tlie Caldwell delegation was conipo'ed of the following gentlemen: Sam Woodson, Judge John L. McAter, Henry C.

Ketdin, William A. Storms, J. P. Love, and John Stonhensou. The above named gentlemen repiesent the Democratic contingent and tho Populists were represented by Pat O'Connor and S.

Dill, tho Oklahoma boomers Tom Murphy and Wliliam Wykes. Thoysaid that the Topeka senators and representatives may look for the fur to fly for each and every one of tho above named delegates had blood in his eye and will tell them that they are tired of the foolishness that has been the order of the day so far. WOMEN OVER A DOO. A furious fight occurred ou North Water street last night between two women, which attracted quite a crowd. Strauge to relate, the trouble arose over a Some fotir or five days ago the woman who delivers milk in thut part of the town drove her w.igon up so cloo to the sidewalk of one of her customers that tho said customer's dog jumped into it and was carried home by the milkwoman, or.

at least, thjs is the story that is told. When the milkwoman was making her rounds yesterday the dog accompanied ner, and he was safely tied in the rear end of the wagon, where he was not easily to be seen. When she pulled hr wauon un in front of tho other woman's door as usual the lady dime out to get her milk. While the milk woman was measuring out the milk tho other woman peeped into the watron and saw her lost dog there. She immediately charged tho milk woman with stealing the dog and the latter defended herself by sy-inu that the dog was er own and that she raised him.

Then the lie was p.issed in I rue maculinc style and tongues began to exercise themselves at an enormous rate. Finally their blood began to boil more furiously aud hair pulling commenced. Those who saw it say it was a terrible battle. JMCOSPEltOUS rEKICLUMANS. The Periclesian society of Garfield uui-Vur-ity held ils regular meeting last night with an interesting program, which in cluded recitations and declamations.

The first was a declamation by Mr. Crum, entitled "The Telephoue," which was delivered in an excellent manner. This was folio wed by a rtcitation by Mis Bessie Wood whicli wss splendid. Her ability on the stage is worth many favorable comments. A recitation, "Tho Polish Boy," by Miss Nellie Wood, pleased the audience so well that she was encored and then recited in her able manner "The Kiss at School A violin sulo by Mr.

Porter was responded to by cheers till he returned to the stage the second time. A song by Mr. McLaughlin showed that the "Mc" in his name is very appropriate. "How Jane Conquest Rang tho Boll'Vas well recited by M.ss Ethel Mr. Ah delivered a very pleasing declamation.

Prof. McGibbon gave a declamation which wiii well received. At the business meeting thirteen names were presented foe membership which shows how the society is growing. The following officers were elected for the ensuing teim: President, F. S.

Boone; vice president, Mr. Porter; recording secretary, Miss Louise Caiupttell; corresponding secretary, Miss Otie York; treasurer, Ethel Lee; marshal, A. N. Whiteside; critic. Miss Woodman; chaplain, Mi-s Mc Kibbeu.

After the election of officers, the society passed resolution? thauking Mr. Whiteside tor his services as president of the society for tbe past term. The meeting tuen adjourned. ABOUT THK bT.VTION. Tom Cummings eo far recovered as to be able to go home yostenlay.

directors of the A. A. M. home met Jau. 5.

After the reading of the several yearly reports time was too far spent for the election of officers, so the meeting adjourned till Jan. 19, when the following officers were elected the ensuing year: Mrs. Naomi Anderson, president; Mrs. P. Glover, vice president; Mrs.

M. Ray, secretary; Mrs. C. Barker, treasurer; Mrs. M.

E. Banks, financial secretary. Several new members have been added to the home during the past mouth, and we enter upon the third year of otir labors for the helpless aud needy ones with renewed vigor and hope. The past year has been full of trials and difficulties; changes bare come to our old board, caused by removal and absence from the city, and a resolution of regret was passed at our last meeting in consequence of the removal of Mrs. Catella Moore, our financial secretary, to Chicago.

Our prayers will follow her, and we dearly hope tbe good work in which she engaged in here will not be forgotten by her aud that she may ever be ready to do what her hands may find to do for the benefit of helpless humanity. Our present matron, Mrs. C. J. Alexander, is a most esteemable woman, a true Christian, and in every way suitable to the position she holds.

To her economical management belongs tho credit that we were able to get through the year with a balance in the treasury. With one cash donation amounting to only $10, and a grocery bill of only 673 during tho whole year, the public must feel to know that the burden has rested heavily on the board of management. During the year we have had one death, received three and dismissed four. Four children are now inmates of the Home, and it is the determination of the newly organized board to start a sinking fund, whereby we may be able to prepare more comfortable quarters for our Home before another winter set in. The present building is very old and the owner thereof deem further repair useless; the rent, however, being cheap and our funds short, we have been forced to remain.

Wo sincerely believe God will opeu the way and that some of our fairer brothers and sisters will lend us a helping hand, whereby we may be able to build a permanent Home for our little ones with modern conveniences and pleasant surroundings. A soliciting committee- will be appointed at our next meeting, whose names tvill be duly published. ItUwith heartfelt gratitude that the board join me in returning thanks to the few friends who have thus kindly remembered us iu the past, and our prayer is that God may return to them threefold. Naomi Andehson, President. 1IIE COLOJthl) IJXr, AT THE 'MIEATEIC.

So much has been said pro and con here with reference to the incident that occurred at the Crawford Grand last week in which a colored man was put into a pro-cenium box with a number of white people, that the following from the Topeka Democrat will doubtless be of interest to tho readers of the EAGLE: Liwwer Albert M. Thomas has brought suit in the district court against the Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska Opera House and Amusement cotnp-tuy and Lester M. Crawford for $40,000 for lefusing him admittance to the dress circle of tbe Crawford opera house to witness the performance of "Richelieu," by Keeue. Plaintiff is a colored man, and avers that the discrimination was against him aud his laity friend on account of their color.

That he puid for the tickets and did not know at the time th.it he would be refused admission. Ho alleges that L. M. Crawford used "loud, upprobrious and insulting language" towards him, and that at the lime of ejecting plamtift he was running the opera housf without a license. A Democrat reporter called upon Manager Crawlord for the purpose of learning his side of the story.

Ilo declined to say anything in regard to the matter until he has cotisulted attorneys. The papers were served on Mr. Crawford this moru-ing. Tho ticket seller says that no man has over been turned out or refused admission to the opera house by reason of being a blaek man. In selling this ticket a mistake was made, anil a ticket for another performance was issued.

The mistake was not discovered until the ticket, which was d.ued for another day, was presented at the door. Instead of asking to have it exchanged, or demanding his money back, it appears that Thomas went away iu a hull. In tho of Thomas vs. Crawford, just brought, it is under no pattictilar statute, and is for cml damage, which might be recovered without the help of any statute. Thomas claims lie bought two tickets, and had couitact relations uith Crawford, and that Ciawioid lefused to honor his contract with indignities.

1)1 HD. Mrs. Nancy F. Glenn died at the family iiome, 017 Hewitt avenue, West Side, at 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mrs.

Glenn passed her 7-d birthday on Jan. 1, inst. She had been in feeble health for several mouths, aud the family knew the etid Mas drawing nearer daily, and were not unprepared for tho final period to her life. She passed peacefully away as oue lapsiug into pleasant slumber. Nancy Glenn, which was her maiden name, was born in Kentucky in 1S21.

In 1S29 her family removed from Kentucky to Brown county. where in 1S37 she married R. A. Glenn, who died in 1850. Iu 1S31 she removed to Kansas and has since that time been a resilient of this city.

Mrs. Glenn was a widow for thirty-two years and the surviving members of the family Major Henry Frederick A Louis Mrs. I. N. Miller and Mrs Mary E.

Tebo, the latter resident in HHuois aud Louis in Washington, D. C. Funeral services will be held atlO o'clock this morning from the family residence, conducted by Rev. Dougal AicCormick. Friends invited to attend.

A CANNING rACTOUY. A movement is now on foot that will probably lead to thu establishment of a canning factory in this city. That the location, the railway facilities and the productiveness of the soil make this a de sirable point for it all must admit. The possibilities of a canuiug factory as a money circulator in a community are not realized by most persons. A re cent report of a factory at Greenwood, a town of 2,000 population, is givea for last year as follows: taid our.

CMOS Boxes Pay surs.si 83.577.2 1.4d3 9 Total OUTPUT. Case of corn two doea ia cae) 44.CCO Oas tomatoe (two down in cse) S7Xw) Oases of peas (two dosea ia case) IS Total Total o. 2 poend cans Iu addition to the pay roll named above it will be seen that of the large amount p.iid out for cans and boxes the great percentage is for labor thus making it a source of benefit to a large number of Uk inhabitants of the town where the factory is located. The Dean ditch case was yesterday set for Lewriug on the 9th of February wt 10 o'clock, in the probate court, tne sme being au appeal from the couitty commissioners. Tbe appellants filed their bonds.

BDKGLARIZIG PECHIN'S STOKB. The store of N. B. Pechin at 306 East Douglas avenue was entered by burglars at an early hour Sunday morning and robbed of about $100 worth of jewelry and cutlery. They gained an entrance by cutting holes in the rear door and unfastening the bolts.

The police are of the opinion that they know the gulity parties aud will catch them. REVIVAL. AT AGUVTA. A great religious awakening is going on at Agusta, Kan. One hundred and sixty-have been converted, 125 have united witu the Methodist church.

The whole city is under the influence of the meeting. The pastor, Rev. E. C. Jollard, is expectant of 200 conversions.

Tbe church is too small to bold the crowds who desire to attend. Adjoining pastors are aiding in the work. A NEW GAS COJ1LMNV. Last night a new organization known as tthe Wichita Prospecting compmy appeared before the city council and asked for a franchise to lay gas mains throughout the city for the purpose of conducting natural gas for heating purposes. The company is composed entirely of home people.

Corbett, L. D. Skinner and other well known business men. A CONFIDENCE GASIS. A young man named Abner Barnes cani8 here from Valley Center yesterday to find employment, wanting to husk corn.

On leaving home lie met a man at the depot and rode to Wichita with him. The stranger made himself very agreeable and on reaching here met another man, and together they induced Young Barnes to accompany them to a house on South Fourth avenue, where he watched his new made acquaintances play a game of cards. The first one he met soon held a hand that he said could not be beaten and induced Barnes to bet on all tho money he had, his watch, and finally his overcoat. Of course he lost it. Barnes complained to the police and Harmon and Spaun soon had them behind the bars.

They gave their names as John Smith and Charles Hendryx, and were fined $10 each yesterday for vagraucy aud committed. They will be tried on u. charge of workiug a confidence game. The coat and watch were recovered but they had spent the money. ODDS.

AND KINDS. Colonel W. H. Sellers, representing the Smith Drug company of St. Joe, was in the city yesterday for the first time iu twelve years.

Mr. Sellers was one of the pioneers of Wichita, having resided here when there was not a house ou Douglas avenue. He is full of interesting re-minescences of early life in Wichita and his excellent memory enables him to recall the most trivial details of the first settlement. W. H.

Welland one of the men arro3ted Saturday night on suspicion of complicity in the assault on Tom Cummings, was fined yesterday morning on the charge of intoxication aud discharged. It was stated that Weiland was a professional loafer which is not the case as it appears for gentlemen connected with the super-intedent's office at the Santa Fe headquarters say that he has been working steady for the company for some time. Rev. C. S.

Nusbaum closed a very successful series of meetings at the South Emporia avenue Methodist church Saturday night. Mrs. Tom McCarthy of Lamed spent Sunday iu the city visitiug her daughter, Nora, who has been sick at All Hallows academy, but who is now much belter. Several gentlemen from all over southern Kansas are iu tho city to take derees in the consistory reunion which meets in tbe Scottish Rite cathedral today. Will A.

V. Koogle, Assistant City Clerk. AMUSEMENTS. "HOT-STUFF." Richards and Pringles Georgia minstrels were at the Crawford Grand last uight and were greeted by one of the best houses seen here during the season. The Georgia boys came here with a big reputation aud they sustained it fully on this occasion.

A miustrel show, if it is good, is always a source of merriment, but seldom has a company appeared here which captured the hearts of the audience ao completely as Richatdsand Frlnglescom-biiiHtioii. Billy Keraands, of course, was the star, anil provoked roar after roar or laughter. Jim Crisby came in a good second and bad to respond to four encores in one turn. Crosby is a typical steam boat dancer and can sing a comic or topical song in a catchy, rolicky way that is always relished by the audience. The music was excellent and it would be hard to find a better variety of good singers in one company than are carried by this combination.

Tho company will leave thl3 morning for Hutchinson and will then proceed westward until California is reached. Then they wijl travel up the coast and return home by wav of Idaho, Montana, Dakota and Minnesota, finishing their season at St. Paul. It is safe to predict that they will do an immense business along their western route, when fun is so much desired aud appreciated. BILL NYE COMING.

Where is your boy tonight? Not next Monday night; then he'll be with you at the Nye aud Burbauk entertainment, but do you you kuow where he is tonight? Js he at home under your watchful eye, or is he away somewhere nailing the handles on his first little joke? Pirent, beware. Teach your boy to beware. "Watch him night and day, or suddenly he will grow hale, he will have a faraway look in bin eye, and the bright, rosy boy will have become the flat-chested, joyless, confirmed youmorist. I am an youmorist; I am not very much so, but still I can see that I am drifting that way, yet I was once a blube as a speckled yearling, and recked i.ot of aught nor anything else, either. But I was exposed to this malady, aud now my whole life was blasted.

Idouot dare eat pie or and no one tell funny stories when I am uear. Let a man get the name of being a humorist, say Bill ye, and ho doesn't dare to register at tbe hotels, and he has to travel anonymously, and mark his clothes with his wife's name, lest the public may lynch him if be doesn't say something humor cus." Bill Nye and Burbank as stated above will be at the opera house Mood a night next. It will be a grand treat. OLE OLsOX. Do you know Ole Olson?
