the vast number of Negroes who come
te Saratoga year after year and being
impressed with the thought that there
ia not one first. class, up-to-date and
modernIy conducted hotel here for Ne
aroeg. it has struck your correspondent
"a being more than strange some OF
the many energetic business men of
the race turn their eyes IN this direction
and supply the long felt want. When
one considers the fact there is q large
and ever Increasing number Of young
men and women holding lucrative pO-
s1tions ard who would be glad to spend
their vacations at lovely Saratoga, If it
we're known that there was first. class
IN every particular-hOtel here; the
thought becomes more emphatic to him
that # is strange that so promising a
field should be so continually over
looked by the business men Ofthe race.
Some years ago quite an exodus Of peo
ple from Washington came to Saratoga
in search of that pleasure and magnif1-
eence which they had heard of so fre-
suently. They found the place all
and more than they had anticipated as
to location, beauty and general sur
roupdings, bat they were sadly disap-
pointed in the Accommodations offered |
them, The result was that these peO-
pie left the place more or less disgusted |
and as q rule have come no more. Now /
these people were from the various de-
paTtments and schoOlTOOms and COM
msnded good salaries, and were In a
position to pay the price commensurate
with an up.tO- date hotel, but on aIriv-
ing here they either had to go to some
boarding house in an obscure street or
impose upon the hospitality Of some
friend or former acquaintance. That
such state OF affairs was unsatisfact-
DRY is proven by the fact that the rest
and plss sure seeking visitor to Saratoga
are few and far between. In such q
desirable place as Saratoga such state
Of affairs should not be. Let some
good business man come to Saratoga
and open up the right sort ofplace and

Rumorea Railroad Change.

From authority that is reliable it
has been learned that the C. & P. will
soon discontinue running their through
trains to this city, and will only run a
local accommodation train to the Ter
minal Junction at Martins Ferry to
meet all the trains. From what has
been learned the c. & P. will run all
their trains to Wheeling over the Ter
NINA road, which will save time for
their passengers reaching Wheeling
n save the annoyance Of the patrons
taking a street car at Bridgeport. 1t
is not thought this change will injure
this city, as it will still be a centre of
railroad traffic, as the public has learn
ed to come here for it's advantages in
reaching and connecting with trains,
and if this city is not made the ter
minus of this company it will receive
its usual trancient custom.

Another evidence of the necessity
for a prompt settlement Of the tangle
at the City Hall was furnished yester-
day, when an effort to collect water
rents from city employees failed,
through City Clerk Thomas O'Brien's
refusal to recognize Ross Chew as Sec
rotary Of the Water Board.
Monday Mr.. Chew addressed a letter
to the City Clerk, in which he gave the
names of thirteen employees Of the city
who are in arrears for water rents, re-
Questing the Clerk to turn over to the
water Board money due the said en-
ployes in sufficient amount to dis
charge their Indebtedness. The thirteen
gentlemen named are creditors OF the
city for their services, but have failed
to pay water rent, and this method
was taken to collect the money.
Clerk O'Brien yesterday handed a.
written reply to Secretary Chew. He
stated that there was no record in his
office of the election of Mr.. Chew as
secretary of the Board; that Chew's
bond was not in his hands; that the
bond of the Water Board had not been
approved. by Council; and that, there
fore, he was compelled to decline the
request.
1t was another very satisfactory day
at the Water Board office, the collec-
tions being three times as large as the
corresponding day last year, and twice
as large as the corresponding day last
week. Nearly all of the money col
lected is for delinquent rents. OF the
$1,000 collected since the new force
took charge. l ,750 has been from de-
linquents.
Secretary Chew would not have
handed his report to Council last night,
even If a quorum had been secured.
The work which it will cover, and
which will greatly surprise citizens
when it is made public, is more ON
plicated than the secretary thought
when he undertook it. The report will
not be ready before the close of the
week, If then.
Secretary Chew and his assistants,
although handicapped by the absence
of some official books and papers, are
working hard to get matters in shape
and are making considerable Roadway.
The aggregate of delinquent bills SO
far footed up, is s32 900. A large pro-
portion of this money, judging by the
success already attained, can be col
lected.
