TROUBLE OVER TOWN WATER
SMYRNA Council Decides to Adhere Strictly
To Certain Rules

Stan Correspondence Evening Journal
smyrna, July 2S.-rhe principal busi-
ness transacted by the Smyrna Town
Council at its meeting last night was
lengthy discussion over allowing rebates
in the water rents. This subject came up
as a result of Walter /. Honccker ap-
pcarng before the council and asking
that the estate of the late Congressman
Hoflccker. not he charged for water from
April TO June, as it nad been cut OFF IN
January. II was brought out that proper
notice had not been given the town and
that il a plumber cuts of the street stop
without notifying the Water Committee,
hc is liable tO fine of ten dollars.
Considerable trouble has heen expert
cnccd by the committee having the town
water in charge. Persons going away
from home for period of three months
ur more, ask for rebates ON the ground
that the water has not been used. The
water ordinances expressly state due no-
tice must be given when the use OF the
pipes are NO longer needed. as charges
viii be made whether the water Is use
or not Mr.. Hoffccker's request will noi
be granted. by the Water Committee. tC
whom il was referred II would establish
bad precedent. Council stated there
must be- some system adhered 10 and IN,
old laws win not be tampered with ol
amended.
BY granting requests OF the electri,
light takers similar to these made by III,
water renters the town has lost CON.
siderable money in the past.

NIGHT MARCH MADE
BY LORD ROBERTS
In Face of a Terrible Storm
He Continues Operations
Against Beers
~ lNiN

London, July 2S.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts:
French and Hutton continued their
pursuit on July 25. The former
crossed Oliphants (Olifants?) river.
and from the high ground on the east
bank he could see Middleburg and the
enemy retiring in great disorder. The
main road north was blocked for sew
eral miles with horsemen and wagons.
The enemy's rear was then seven
miles north. The mounted force were
still west of the river. Night was
closing in, the rain falling in tor
rents, and so it was impossible to fol-
low. The night was terrible. In ad-
dition to the rain a strong east wind
made the bivouac most uncomfortable
One officer, l regret to say, died oil
exposure, and the mortality among the
mules and oxen was great.
Hunter has occupied Fourierburg
and, so far as l know, did not suffer
loss. He found Mrs. Steyn. wife Of
the ex-president, and several Of oul
men whom De Wet had captured al
different times and whom he was un'
able to send to Machadodorp.
"The enemy in the Bethlehem hills
are now closed in upon. BasutolanC
is closed to them. Harrismith is tbs
only line open, and it will not be easy
for them to reach there with guns ant
wagons.
"Broadwood is still watching Chris
tian De Wet, who has taken up a posi-
ton on high hills near Reitzburg
about seven miles south Of the Vaal
"P. De Wet, younger brother o
Christian, surrendered at Kroonstal
yesterday"
