Orncr, member of the Legislature front Barbour county, arrived in town to-day. Mr. Orner made his mark in the Legislature last winter, and also made many friends throughout the State. He is a rising man. rishl Flshtl Flshll! McKay Brothers, No, 245 Kansas avenue, announce that, commencing this evening, they will keep constantly on hjind a full supply of FreBh, Salt Water and Lake Fish; Fresh Oystcrf, Game, etc, Their choice Sea Fish come direct from New York; Turtles, Shrumps, Soft and Hard Shell Crabs, direct from New Orleans; the Lake Fish direct from Chicago; Oysters front Baltimore.

Messrs. McKay Bros, have been twenty years in the business, and know how to buy and handle the best of everything. It is important that Topeka should have a first class fish market, and all our residents should do their utmost to keep and sustain a firm who always keep on hand the choicest of everything in their line, Ineendlarliim Again. The North Topeka Tints says that the fire in its office was the work of an incendiary. 1 Of course; not a fire that has occurred in Topeka in the last two or three months but what has been declared incendiary.

The Incendiary, whoever he is, must be a marvel of industry, and it is strange he is never caught. Not the slightest reason can be given why a man should want to set fire to. a paint shop, a negro's cabin, a horse-car stable, and a newspaper office. The fact is that it begins to look decidedly silly to charge every fire to an incendiary, when it is more than likely -accidental or the result of carelessness.

The Rfdmondvillo Baptist char in Korth Topeka, was lt night tho scene of most tremendous effort on the part of the Bush and McCall men to control the colored vote in the coming election The colored brethren had been well no- tifled ofjhejpceting, which was Intend ed to bring up tho relative merits of the two candidates In such a way that every man could make his choice for Sheriff. Ostensibly the faceting was to be free and open to all Republican speakers, and a quiet and intelligent discussion of the issues of the day was expected. But alas for expectations. This mooting had been worked up, and though the audience was permitted to listen to everything that was said, the speaking was to be restricted to the Bush and McCall strikers.

The meeting was called for seven o'clock, but Mitch11 and Griffith, Bush men, impressed with the fact that it is better to be too early than too late went over to the chapel as early as six o'clock and "organized" the meeting with Mitchell in the chair. To be sure there were only five people in the house, but the work of organization could not stop for such a small thing as that. So when the crowd got there they found the chair occupied and a big rumpus ensued until finally Mitchell was ousted and the meeting cast bout for some one to preside. Dave Ware, the colored man who sweeps the State House floors and cleans the spittoons, having performed that service for nearly sixteen years, was selected as chairman on "account of the honorable position he had so long held in the State, serving his parly with fidelity ever since he hud been connected with it." This is the only office the colored man has ever had given to him in the State, and its honors and emoluments are the envy of I very colored man in Topeka. After a great deal of calling ar.d voting, Ware was finally hoisted triumphantly to the platform and called the meeting to order.

Meantime, A. P. Smith had arrived with two boxes of cigars, bought at a igar store on this side, with an order from Gorham. Gorham sas ho would jive $500 right out of his pocket to see Bush elected. And he began the process by pending ovr the cigars.

They were ot very good ones, and when the whole meetim? cot to smoking like a furnace. t. and the excitement waxed high and the noise loud, it was a tremendous sight. Mr. Geo.

W. Smith took the floor without any authority from anybody in particular, and began to abuse the Rev. J. F. Thomas, a McCall man, who is pastor of the Second Methodist church.

George W. Smith is a janitor at several the banks and business houses, but his aspiring ambition is to usurp the place of uave ware ai ine oiuie iiouse. Two or three voices yelled out of the rowd, ''Yo' Gawge Washin'ton Smith, net y' mouf." And when Gawge had laally "shet" Rev. J. F.

popped to defend himself. lie had not waded very far into his peech when M. W. Overton, another brother and a member of the County Central Committee, rose up and stated that "he else knowed dat Thomas an Stuart had been seen comin' ut de Co't Iiouse a-smilin' an gtuffiV deir han's in dere pockets." This' announcement was followed by a terrific uproar, which was quieted by A. P.

Smith passing Gorham's cigars around again. A. P. had just boughta new $17 overcoat, yesterday with his campaign fund, and he' jumped up every time an opportunity offered, to show it. lie paraded up and down the aisles, and flourished the tail of his coat in such an exasperating way in front of his less fortunate neighbors that one of them called outj "Smith, enybody could buys seventeen dollar overcoat if they was a gittin' two dollars a day for doln' dirty campaign work." This wicked insinuation Smith pretended not to hear.

Two or three speakers got the floor at once, while the audience stood up in their chairs and heered 'Vociferously at everybody and very thing, i The amiable and industrious quartette colored men, Geo. W. Smith, L. Full-bright A. P.

Smith and M. W. Overton, who are employed at two dollars a day by Bush to patrol Kansas avenue and run in colored votes, were at the meeting In full force, and were running the concern in splendid style. They are to receive twenty dollars apiece on the night before the election. It was very exciting excessively so, and the confusion sould not have been more eomplete.

But ai confusion spemed to be the Bush men's idea of a successful political meeting, they were in their glory. How long the meeting was kept up is not known, for our reporter loft before it was over. we suppose the colored vote is ompletcly in the hands of Mr. Bush.but ur supposition is somewhat shaken by the remark of a colored man who was present last night: "It seems jes' as if they hadnothin' to do but holler and abuse each other, an' as for me, I don't want any thins to do with 'cm. I'm goin' to vote for somebody as isn'fr always a promisin' something to ns colored people an never givin' us anything."
