HOTELS AND sUMMER REsoRrs.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-12-13

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-The stock
market today retained the regularity
OF movement that has recently charac-
terized the dealings. There was O.
point of difference, however, in the
fact that the volume of business was
not SO exclusively in the industrials as
heretofore. An interesting development
OF an encouraging character was the
resumption of dividends on the prefer
red stock of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad during an interval of over two
years. The news that the presidents
OF the anthracite coal companies had
recognized the absurdity of mining at
least double the quantity of coal sale
able at profitable rates and had recon-
mended a SO per cent. restriction of the
output, had a logical effect on the mar
ket. Speculation opened moderately
active and heavy in tone. Prices stiff
ened soon after the initial dealings but
a sagging tendency soon developed and
trio, Tennessee Coal and Union Pacific.
The official announcement of the decla-
ration of l per cent. dividend on Den
yer & Rio Grande preferred was re-
hected in a gain of about l per cent. in
the stock in the final dealings. Sugar
on the other hand lacked support and
lost about as much. The closing was
fairly active and generally firm.
The railway bond market was cas-
fer in tone until the late dealings.
when a brisk inquiry rose for reissues.

clined per cent.

INVOLVES MILLIONS.
A Sensational Case Now on at San
Diego.

n Sensational Case Now on at San
Diego.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. IAN important
action has been begun in the United
States circuit court which involves a
question of millions of dollars worth of
property and according to the complaint
MED, lays bare a story of corruption OF
municipal officials of this city. The COM
plalnant is the Consolidated Water COM
pany, which controls the San Diego
fiuem and the San Diego water companies
now supplying that city with water.
:, The defendants are E. s. Babcock, the
Southern California Mountain Water
company, the city of San Diego, the
common council, Nat R. Titus, city au-
ditor, and 7. ]. Dowell, city treasurer.
enlolned from contracting with the
Southern California Mountain Water
company for water supply, and distrib-
uung system to cost $1,575,000.
1t is alleged that F. z. Babcock, act
ing for himself and the Mount Tecarte
Land and Water company, which was
succeeded by the Southern California
Mountain Water company. entered into
a contract, whereby he employed c. b
Mayne to influence members of the COM
mon council by bribery and other cor
rupt means to support the Tecarte pro-
position to furnish San Diego a, water
that Mayne, acting for Babcock and his
company, arranged and agreed with A.
D. Barrows. W. j. Davis, Joseph S.
Bachtan. Thomas II. Dunklin and w. II.
kroah, their members of the council, to
vote for the desired water plan.
Mayne was indicted by the grand jury
for attempting to bride Spears and Rob
inson. but it is alleged the indictment
was squashed through Babcock's influ-
ence.
Following the recital of the corruption
OF the council an injunction against the
contract now favored by the council is
asked because the action of a, joint water
command of the common council in re-
commencing and authorizing the making
of a contract with the Southern Callfoi-
mia Mountain Water company was pro-
cured By fraud, corruption and bribery.

HEALTH AND FORTUNE.

A New Hampshire woman, who had
always made flavoring extracts for use
in her own family, began some thir-
teen years ago to manufacture the
extracts for sale, using the same pro-
cess-that of making them directly
from the fruits themselves, instead of
from oils-that she had used when
making the extracts on a small scale
The result has been that she not only
regained vigorous health from the out
of-door employment necessary in
gathering and overseeing her materials.
but she is building up a constantly en-
larging sale for her extracts through
out New England

yesterday, the Changers bank. of this
city, did not open it's doors for business
today. 1t was announced that the bank
had been closed temporarily for the pur-

gers bank, and none are ANTICIPATED.

CHICAGO GENERAI. MApKErc

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The pressure to sell
wheat short was not quite SO pro-
nounced as it was yesterday after
noon. The Cincinnati Price Current
remarking on the condition of winter
wheat plant, said that the weather was
somewhat trying and many sections
were lacking in snow projections Min
neapolis and Duluth got 270 car loads
less wheat than on the corresponding
day of the week before. The lake
shipments appeared to be over for the
season; today's outgoing all went out
by rail, and such was the case also re-
garding the shipments posted yester-
day and on the day before. For the
three days the quantity shipped by rail
amounts to 266,000 bushels, and on the
similar three days of the previous year
the quantity shipped was only $1,000
bushels. The demand for wheat at
Minneapolis, both by millers and ship
pers. was said to be surprisingly good,
and San Francisco wired that owing to
the competition between millers and
shippers there the price was advanced
&c per Genital. Three cargoes, said a
dispatch from there, were taken for J
