Pleasant Rapid Trips to the seashore

IltdhhL II AihBo w 49,
The season is now with us when every
one longs for a longer or shorter %sojourn at
the seashore, inhaling the cool breezes from
the depths of "Old Ocean"
To all intending a visit to the shore, the
Philadelphia & Reading Route offers special
advantages as to both location and the getting
there. Atlantic City is so well known with
its many unsurpassed attractions, that it is
only necessary to say that the schedule of
fast trains via the Philadelphia & Reading
Route is this year fully equal, if not superior,
to that of former years, and that the sixty
minute trains run in the summer season are
the fastest scheduled trains in the world.
By the lease of the South Jersey Rail
road the Philadelphia Il Reading has also
acquired Il direct route to Cape May, one of
the finest and oldest of sea shore resorts, Sea
Isle City, "a lourishing up-tO-date resort, and
to Ocean City, a magnificent family watering
place. What will attract many persons to
the latter place are its many religious con-
v%entions and the strict temperance regula-
lions strictly enforced. The Philadelphia x
Reading is the shortest route to all Of these
resorts.
Through tickets can be bought and baggage
checked from all principal stations OF the
Philadelphia & Reading Railway and its con-
n%ections. For illustrated booklet, giving list
of principal hotels and boarding houses aud
rates, address Edison J. Weeks, General
Passenger Agent, Reading Terminal, Phila'
delphia.

STATE EQUALIZERS.
THE WEBER COUNTY OFFICIALS
HAVE a HEARING.
Protest Over the Proposed Increase
In the Valuation of Sheep and the
Raise On Real Estate Assessed
As Acreage.

County commissioners Armstrong and
Seaman, Assessor Civilians and Dep
uty Assessor Langsdorff of Weber
county were before the state board Of
equalization yesterday, and continued
their protestation against the proposed
Increase in the value of sheep from S1.75
to 81 per head, and 10 per cent on req!
estate assessed as acreage. The board
has the remonstrance under considera-
ticn, and pending the investigation an
order has been issued reconvening the
county board of equalization of Weber
county next Monday at Up. m, to con-
slider the raise on sheep.
County Commissioners Fisher, Ker-
shaw and Parker, of Davis county, ac-
cCmpanied by Auditor Phillips and
two deputy assessors, were given a
hearing by the state board yesterday
afternoon to express their opposition
to the proposed increase of 1G per cent
on the value of real estate. An order
was issued reconvening the Davis
county board Monday at 10 a. M, to in
vestigate several matters pertaining to
the report received from that county.
The Salt Lake county board of equal
ization was ordered to make an equali

THE COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
Consider the Matter of Judgments
Against the City.

! Against the C1Ly.
City Attorney Hall and the council
committee on municipal laws wrestled
| for over an hour last evening with the
] problem of how best to care for the
/ Judgments, costs and interest, aggre-
eating about $4,000 in six cases for
claims and judgments, which have
lately been decided against the city.
I The main case is not appealable, and
unless the administration effects some
satisfactory arrangement with the Pa
cific Paving company to settle its Judg-
ment claim of S27, 900 some time next
year, the judgment creditor will take
out an execution on the city's cash
when the taxes come in next Novem-
Der. Last fall the retired council
agreed to set aside enough money to
pay the Judgment, but failed to do so,
and no provision was made on the LIST
inst, when the tax levy was made, to
care for this debt. The committee came
to no conclusion with reference to this
matter.
The next big item, the Parley's can
yon conduit judgment of over $4,000,
was passed for future consideration. it
being the intention to spar for time by
endeavoring to get a retrial.
1t was decided to recommend to the
council the payment of the judgment
of 300 odd dollars in the Wach
case, and the judgment of over $500
won by Peter F. Goss. The Tucker
case, involving nearly $1,000, and ne
Dwyer case of $1,000, will be Appeared.
SEEKING MORE WATER.
The waterworks committee devised a
plan for increasing the supply from
Parley's creek by developing springs in
Lambs canyon. 1t is estimated that
the supply of water from this source
can be increased one-fourth, probably
as much as half a million gallons
daily, and to this end Superintendent
Game was directed to eXpend $500.
which sum is to the departments credit
from the maintenance fund. Until it
rains or until it is demonstrated that
the detectives can cause enough whole
sale arrests or otherwise minimize the
wasteful and unlawful use of water it
was determined to grant no more pc
titions for the sprinkling of additional |
streets, and besides to curtail the |
amount of street sprinkling now being !
done

CULVER ENUMERATED.
Why the Illinois Regiment Was Or
dered Back.

Washington. July 2S.-It is reported
from Chickamauga that because the
Fifth Illinois regiment was turned back
from the Porto Rico expedition Macy
n,en had deserted. the morale of the
regiment had been destroyed and the
failure to secure active service had
been charged uD to the secret efforts
of Colonel Culver to keep it from GO

department that. as a matter of fact,
the colonel has been the victim of cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll. When the Fifth Illinois had been
ordered TO Porto Rico, a. delegation of
lEciana people awaited on the Dresi-

who has lived in Havana for "a years,
stopped here today en- route to Ger
many on a visit. In an Interview Mr..
Grupe said: when l left Havana, two
weeks ago, the inhabitants were not in
the slightest fear that the city would
be bombarded. In fact, everything was
going or the same as usual. The the
aires. dancing halls, business of every
character were fiourishing, and but for
the presence of troops in the city you
would never know war was in prog
ress.
THE blockade at Havana. has thus
far not proved very effective. The farms
around the city furnish all the supplies
necessary. The soil is so fertile that
crops can be produced in 80 days. There
is no scarcity of provisions in Havana,
