There was but one gentleman present at the polls on election day who could not persuade himself that it was the proper thing to do to put away his cigar while a dozen ladies waiting an opportunity to vote. But. then this is a new business to us all, and we shall grow into it gradual ly -Prof. James H.

Canfield's address upon the High School topic at Shafer's Hall on Saturday last was a masterly effort. The hearers felt that a man was talking--one not afraid to express his convictions, and with ability to maintain them. We have rarely been more pleased with an address or with the lecturer than upon this occasion. That was the most quiet and reputable election we have ever seen in Burlingame. It looked as though the postoffice had been moved to the city building, and everybody, men and women, were going there for their mail.

The polls have been cleaned at last. A great revolution has taken place, almost without our knowing is A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. A Surveyor in the Employ of the Kansas, Colorado Texas R. R. Seriously Injured, and Miraculously Saved.

It has been known for a long time that the authorities of the Kansas, Colorado Texas railway company were looking about for suitable depot grounds in Burlingame, and their secresy was thought to arise from the fact, that they would secure land cheaper by that means than any other. But it being absolutely necessary to decide at once upon location, men were sent here on Monday night last to make certain measurements and surveys by moonlight, and while our people were asleep, and in to doing a rodman fell from the bridge in Topeka avenue headforemost He was picked up by his companions in an unconscious state, and carried into the furnture store of B. Pratt, where the unfortunate man was placed in one of his fne reclining sofa chairs, which had just been received. And as the sufferer gazed upon the immense stock of new goods just arrived, consisting of everything usually kept in a first class furniture store, he seemed to revive, and Pratt knowing the inspiring influence of good sent at once for Prof, Ira Martin, who played a march upon one of those fine Estey pianos which Mr Partt now has in stock, and the effect Wag SO magical, that man arose from his downy couch fully restored and marched his hands down into his jeans pockets, and bought an outfit of furniture as a souvenir of the place and occasion, and the foilowing morning he was heard to remark on the street in front of the Shepard House, that he never before saw as fine a stock and the prices SO low, as at Pratt's furniture store in Burlingame. FIRE.

A Destructive Blaze for Burlingame About one o'clock on Saturday morning last, fire was discovered in the rear part of H. 0. Smith's furniture store, which, was in a two story frame building, near the city hall, on the north side Santa Fe avenue, owned by H. Shepard, and formerly occupied by him as a place of business. The alarmi was speedily given, but the fire obtained the control of the building to such an extent that nothing was saved, and the family of Mr.

Cooper, living up stairs, barely escaped with their lives. The next building west was a onestory frame occupied by Mrs. S. Window as millinery store, and the rear part as a residence by Mr. 0.

B. Blakesly and wife. It was owned by. Mrs. Heizer.

From this building everything was removed with little damage, and the fire licked it up in short order, notwithstanding the efforts of our citizens and the fire department to subdue the flames. While these two buildings were burning, and the fire extending eastward along Santa Fe avenue, the corn cribs of H. D. Shepard, filled with agricultural implements, took fire, but the flames were checked by the hard work and skillful efforts of the department with their chemical engine. The next building east of Smith's furniture store was a small frame owned by H.

D. Shepard. This was entirely consumed. Then followed the frame store building owned by Mr. Shepard also, occupied by Mrs.

Russell as a millinery store. Next was burned a frame structure owned by Hoover Bros. which was empty. This building was formerly owned and occupied by S. Holm, as a furniture store.

The fire now reached the Stender two-story stone building occupied by C. H. Kent Co. as a grocery. The stock was removed across the street.

The building had two openings on the fire side luckily guarded by iron doors, but the fire warped these open, and a desperate fight was made and was suceessful, to keep then fire contined to the window frames sash. In the rear of this building was a shed roof addition. The fire department tore this away and by a concentration of forces, the fire was stopped. roof of the stone building was so hot, that the frame work nearly took fire. The losses were as follows The Heizer building loss, $800.

No insurance. Smith's furniture store. Loss of building insurance, $500. On stock, insurance, $1,700. 0.

B. Blakesly lost $75 worth of goods in this store, and Mr. Cooper all his household goods. No insurance. The loss to Mr.

Shepard on two next buildings will probably foot up $300. No insurance. Mrs. Russell's loss was only nominal. No insurance.

Hoover Bros. probably lost by the burning of Holm's building about $500. No insurance. The damage to the Stender building is roughly estimated at $200-fully in loss of Kent in removal of goods is estimated at $200-also fully insured. Our citizens worked manfully as a rule, as also the fire department, but the inflammable character of the buildings rendered all efforts futile except to prevent the fire spreading northward, and saving goods.

The city building was on fire several times, but W. C. Chattield, like the boy upon the burning deck, stood to his post, and saved the structure, including Masonic Hall and THE INDEPENDENT office. Obituary. Died on Thursday morning last, of pneumonia, Harriet.

wife of John Hamner. The funeral took place on Sunday from the M. E. church, Rev. A.

J. Coe officiating. The former name of deceased was Harriet Lewis, and she was born in Shropshire, England, January 8th, 1826, being 61 years old when she died. She was married to John Hamner, at Buabon, North Wales, the 22nd day of June, 1846. She came to this country the spring of 1852, and settled in Cleveland, Ohio.

She moved from there to Rockford, and lived in Illinois 25 years; then came to Kansas, where she lived until the time of her death, -on 31st of March, 1887, of pneumonia. She was sick but a short time. Mrs. Hamner was the mother of nine children, five of whom are still living. One child is buried in England, one in Cleveland, Ohio, and two in Illinois.

one, a young man, of eighteen. Of those who survive her, there were present at her side, her husband and her only daughter, Mrs. Lestie Wood, the other children were absent at the time. The oldest son, John and wife, were in the east. George and family were in Howard, and Charles and family Carlin, Nevada.

Ernie was in Langford, Colorado. They were all able to get to the funeral except Ernest, who was out reach of the telegraph. A Bad Accident. This, Thursday morning, Mr. J.

D. Hall, formerly trustee of Burlingame township, was thrown from his buggy on Santa Fe avenue, at about 9 o'clock, and besides being otherwise badly bruised, suffered a fracture of the right leg below the knee. He was carried into the store of Albert Hoover, his sonin-law, and Dr. M. H.

Cazier called in, who, after making an examination, called in Dr. James Haller to assit him, and the injured limb was boxed. The serious part of this accident arises from the fact that Mr. Hall's broken limb is one which was badly injured by a gunshot wound at Stone river, and never completely healed -the bone, it is presumed being honeycombed. He will remain in town a few days, where the injured limb can be closely watched, and then he will I be remoyed to his home in the country.

An examination of the harness showed the cause of the accident to be a weak spring in the snap connecting a driving rein with the bridle. Mr. Hall failed to notice that the horse had rubbed the rein loose, when he unhitched the team. Seed Potatoes.
