The Ponce de Leon Opening.


The passengers by the special vesti-
buled train from New York, numbering
seventy-five guests, arrived at the Ponce
de Leon about $50 yesterday evening, in
time for dinner. The party comprised
the following who We're the first to regis
ter as guests of the Ponce de Leon:
Capt. a. S. III. Leroy (who is the senior
captain of the Pacific Steamship Line,
and in command of the party, Nj. G.
Bouvier, Miss A. f. Bowler, Ill. Nj.

The excursionist party only were en-
tertained at dinner, which was quite
informal. Joyce's grand orchestra gave
a grand impromptu concert from $50
to 10 o'clock in the grand dining room
of the hotel, which was the only
festive feature of the occasion, it
h0ving been the determination of the
management from the first to
avoid all ostentation and make the open
ing exercise as simple and unceremonius
as possible. The concert, which was
conducted by Mr.. Thomas III. Joyce,
embraced the following selections:
Grand overture. Conservation" orches-
ira: cornet solo, .'Auld Lang Syne," Mr..
Walter Rogers; preclude and chorus,
'Tll Remember" orchestra; harp solo,

Council Meeting.

Council met in special session at 4 p. m.
yesterday for the transaction of urgent
business. Present, the President, Alder
Atwood and Pinkham.
Petitions were disposed of as follows:
G. w. Atwood, for u one story build
ing. corner Bridge and Cordova streets,
with plans and specifications, granted,
subject to the provisions of the fire ordi-
nance.
F. E. Witzell, for two story building
on Spanish street, no plans. Referred to
the Fire and Police Committee with pow
er to act.
&. +. Hamblin, for 4. six inch iron
sewer pipe in Green street to the river.
This elected a general debate on the
subject of defective, damaged and short
sewers emptying into the bay above low
water mark. One member reported an
offensive smell noticed by himself arising
from such sewers, and another remarked
that it was only a question of time when
the authorities must require all sewers to
be extended to distance of several
miles from the city. 1t was finally deci-
ded to grant the petition on the condi-
ton that sewers extended into water
five feet deep at extreme low tide.
The next petition was one signed by
A. f. Douglass and about twenty other
citizens, calling the attention of the
Council to the broken and otherwise
defective condition of several sewers
emptying into the river. The debate
was renewed and continued with much
spirit, and it was unanimously ordered,
on motion of Alderman Pinkham, that
the petition be received and filed and that
all owners of sewers be required to re-
pair the same and also extend the same
into water five feet deep at extreme low
| water mark, and below the surface of
| the ground or bottom and that the mar
shall be instructed to see that this order
1 be carried out.

Committee had not reported an ordi-
nance in conformity to the adoption of
the report of the Police Committee en-
bracing police regulations and fixing the
number of police for the ensuing year as
instructed by the Council several weeks
ago.
An Alderman asked why had not the
Ordinance Committee performed their
duty?
A member of the Committee called
attention to the fact that the Committee
had Just been granted further time to
act by the Council. On motion, it was
decided to confirm the number allowed
under the existing ordinances, and, on
motion, the Council went into executive
session on the nominations, and ON open
ing the session, the following cOntirma-
tions were reported: Day police, X. r.

Presbyterian Sunday School.

Last Sundays exercises at the Presby-
terrain Sunday School We're more inter
esting than usual, the occasion being the
schools anniversary. DIR. Webb, the
superintendent, being absent, Mr.. F. j.
Ballard, assistant superintendent, d.
rected the exercises.
At the close of the lessons the report
of Mr.. j. A. Enslow, Jr., chairman of
the committee on home business, showing
that although that committee was
formed only three weeks ago, it had col
lected $40, with promises of so more,
and suggesting that the school should
undertake the support of an orphan for
one year. which was, upon vote submit
tsd to the school by the pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Mitchell, and unanimously agreed
to.
Inquiries had been made as to the poor
in this community, and none were found
who needed help. This school is thus
fairly started on the home mission plan.
After the reading of said report, the
Rev. DIR. Thos- Hastings was called upon
to address the school, which he did,
illustrating the growth of habits, by a
chapter in his own experience with an
asparagus bed, which would grow in
spite of efforts to suppress it. His ad-
dress was listened to with the greatest
attention by the children
The pastor also made some remarks,
promising to preach a sermon ere long
to the children.
The annual election was held in which
all of the former officers were reelected
as follows:
DIR. Dewitt Webb, Superintendent.
