The City of Homes.

Philadelphia more than msintsina iis proud record of being the city of homes Largely through inc aid and incentive Of the building and loan ass ,cia ations. it t ,s no equal in 'he world as city ci home owners, and it's lead in this respect is steadily growing. The facts on which this statement is based come from the office of the Board of Revision of Taxes, where it Ia shown by the returns of the assessors for 1896 that the city contains l56, ,l4s individual owners of real estate. This is a big increase over the total oi lSs6, when the number was III ,5S0. and over the number in 1880, when the total was 50.470. The increase has been steady and well distributed Only seven of the thirty seven wards show de- crease, and this Is exclaimed by the faci that these are wards in the business sec tions where houses have given way to warehouses or manufacturing concerns - Evening Post.

The statement that Anson H. Smith has been industriousy circulating a statement that W. H. Lake was a thief is not true. When Anson H Smith left KiDgman tor Utah. some weeks ago, Mir. Lakes friends circulated the story that we were going there to dig up facts relat. ing 10 steal, and when we returned they enquired if we had obtained what we went after and our answer was, "yes, and more too" Thursday night when we had been advised of Mr. Lakes challenge to produce the proof we charged Mr. Lake openly with the mis. appropriation of taxes collected in the years 1s9l2 and are prepared to sub stantiate the charge. Mir. Lake, or his friends knew when he issued the chal. lenge that we had in our possession the most damning of evidence and tha, his letter was mere braga docia. At the tune of obtaining all the facts wanted it was too late to give the case to the people and allow Mir. Lake an opportunity to answer, and the slight part of the matter made public today was simply called out by MT Lakes letter. He has his redress and we defy him to refute single charge,

CHICAGO MARKET.
The Days Transactions on the Board OF

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Wheat was strong
from the start. Opening quotations were
from u to X cent higher, partly because
of the Liverpool opening advance of Sd
and partly because of the feeling that the
worst Of the local financial troubles were
over. Opening transactions for May were
over range of from S2A to S2is. 1t soon
began to gather additional strength and
got as high as S2z in about an hour from
to the advance. not the least of which were
reports on the Russian winter wheat crop,
showing q decrease of S00O0,000 bushels
from last years CURES. To lend strength
to such figures Boston and other Atlantic
ports report large clearances Later Liv-
erpool quotations, however, came Nd lower
for January and bank failure was re-
ported from Minneapolis and another from
Roanoke, Va, the effect of which. upon
the wheat market, was temporary reaction
to S2%. 1t did not take long to recover

ANAHEIM, Dec. 29.-The city trustees

prepared by E. C. Sharpe for the electric

c. s. Rogers for the Improvement of

meeting. was present ard read the
changes called for by the board The
plans and specifications for improving
the water system were then adopted.
The plans and speciicaticr,s for the
electric light plant did not fare SO well.
Several changes were suggested. Eec-
trical Engineer Sharpe stated that, with
the money at their command the trus-
tees could rot arrange to use the 500
light plant now installed with the new
plant. This created considerable dis
cussion, as did also the advisability of
getting a medium-apeed engine instead
of high-speed engine. 1t was finally
decided to ask for bids on the plant for
both high-speed and medium-speed en-
gines and. with some other changes, that
were thought necessary. the plans and
specifications were adopted
