CHICK KAAGAUGA CHATTANOOGA
| MILITARY PARK. Tenn, July 10, 1S9S.-
! Major General Brooke will return to his
headquarters at Camp Thomas tomorrow
morning and then the question of what
regiments will go to Porto Rico and when
they will go will be definitely settled.
This question has been the one of main
| interest in the big army camp since the
departure Of General Brooke for Wash
ington several days ago.
1t is generally believed that the regir-
| ments composing the First and Second di-
visions of the First Corps will be the
ones to go, bat this belief is based on
nothing official given out here. AS far
as can be learned only two divisions will
be taken.
The indications here are that the move

coRNELlsoN AVENUE A NUISANCE
Another Specimen of Contractor
Harrington's Work.

The Street and Water Board, in endeay-
oring to abate one nuisance which has
been an eyesore to the people of Jersey
City for many years, has created another
which is twice as bad. For years Cor
Nelson avenue. in the vicinity of the
Montgomery street bridge. has been much
lower than the surrounding land with the
result that after each heavy rain storm
the street presented the appearance of a
large pond.
The water was so deep in places, es-
peciaIly between Montgomery street and
the viaduct that boys went from one end
to the other on large RATS. and once a
little fellow who fell from raft was
nearly drowned there. The yards of the
few houses that are located on that part
of Cornelison avenue were flooded, and
pools of stagnant water would remain
around them sometimes for weeks at a
time.
Several weeks ago the Street and Wa
ter Board ordered Contractor Harrington,
who removed the city's ashes and gar
bage. to fill in the holes in Cornelison ave
nue. with ashes. Instead of filing them
dumped load upon load of garbage and re-
fuse there, which enits vile odor. The
health of the persons living in the vicinity
is endangered by the stencil and il causes
passengers on Montgomery street cars to
hold their noses as they pass Cornelison
avenue. Health Inspector Benjamin was
Interviewed by reporter for The News
concerning the nuisance. He said:-I nat
Is the concern OF the S!reet ana W9let
Board. 1t ordered Harrington to fill in
the street. l have told Harrington to
cover the ashes with dirt, as the ordinance
requires, but he has failed to do so. How,
ever he is accountable to the Street and
Water Board, not to me.

WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY.
The Week One of Exceptionally Fn-
vorabIe Temperature Conditions.

Washington. Sept S.-The weekly sum-
mary of the crop conditions issued by the
weather bureau Is as follows:
The week ending Sept. g. has been
one of exceptionally favorable tempera-
ture conditions for the maturing Of crops
generally throughout the country. No
frosts were reported from the states of
the central valleys, but light frosts caus-
ing no serious damage occurred in portions
of New York, New JERSEY and Pennsyl-
Vania on the 2lst, Heavy rains defayed
farm work in portions of Lower Missouri
and Ohio valleys, and proved injurious in
the Central Cuff states, while drought con
dltions continue unbroken in portions of
Minnesota.
"On the Pacific coast the weather condi-
tons have been generally favorable in
Washington and Oregon, while rains,
ranging from one-f0 urth 10 more than one
inch, fell over the greater part of North
ern and Central California causing injury
to raisins and unthreshed grain. Such
rains are very unusual in California at this
season, and while causing some injury,
win prove beneficial IN replenishing the
water supply
Except in Northern Missouri, where
considerable late corn needs ten days ia
vorable weather in which to mature, the
new crop is practically safe from frost,
and much has been cut. Heavy rains in
the Lower Mississippi valley have damag-
ed open cotton and interfered with pick
ing. over the eastern portion of the cotton
region the weather has been more favora-
bic and picking is progressing rapidly.
Picking has also progressed rapidly in
Texas, where the crop is reported irregu-
lar. being good in places and poor in 9TH
erS.
Reports throughout the cotton belt gen
orally indicate that the top crop viii be
very inferior and in some places a total
failure.
The tobacco crop has been secured, with
the exception of a small part of the Gate
crop in Maryland, Virginia and Tennes-
see.
THE soil conditions generally through
out the country, east of the Rocky Noun
tains, are highly favorable for, blowing and
seeding, Minnesota being the only state in
which the ground has been too dry for this
work The reports generally indicate that
fan sown grain has terminated quickly
and is coming up to good stand.

satisfactory the commission will formally
approve them and accept the time pro-
posed by Mr.. Egan to-day.

8, which relates to demurrage charges.
The road, through ]. C. Haskell of the
Car Service Association, sometime ago

would leave with its officers whether de-
murrrage should be charged, and the
commission took the matter under advise
ment after hearing argument. Under
rule 5, if demurrage is charged at one
station it must be charged at all stations
along the line, and this is what was OBJ
jected TO. The roads wanted to charge
at one place and not at another if they
saw fit.
