SPECIAL TRAIN FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY TO REH0BOTH.

As a result Of a request made by mem'
bers of the Wilmington Board Of Trade,
headed by William D. Mullen, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
decided to put on a special train to Re
hoboth Beach on Fridays during July
and August. The company had already
arranged for a special on Saturdays
during those months and the Friday
train is in addition to the one to run on
Saturday. The new train, which will
run on Friday and Saturday at the
same time Of day, will leave Whining
ton at 2.58 O'Clock and from Harring-
ton it will run as an express to Reno
both. This was especially requested
as the late regular train does not get to
Rehoboth until after 8 o'clock. This
special will reach there at $50, and as
it will be an express on the lower divi'
sion there will be every facility for
reaching its destination on time. The
same interests have petitiOned the rail-
road company to establish a 15-day ex'
curslon rate at a reduced price, when
they hope will be granted.

Council was an important one, and
business Of public interest was trans
acted. First of all the report Of the Col
lectOr Of Taxes was received, and 1t

has received s457S. 90 of that amount up
to the first day Of June and discount
Of 3 per cent. was given on it to the
taxpayers. This enables Council to pay
its back bills, and meet the bills Of this
season promptly.

vest $1,000 now in the sinking fund from
the interest on bonds held by it, and
$1,000 which is to be paid to the Sinking

of $4,000 to extend the sewer from
Front and Walnut streets down to Pear
street.-The town to furnish the sewer
pipe only, and the contractors to do

sewer will be required to connect their
property with it, as it is built. This
will do away with all future opening
Of streets for connecting to sewers.

Jr., was directed to grade Lake View
avenue from the railroad crossing out
to the town limits.

A Quiet Fourth.

The indications are, at present, that
the coming Fourth Of July will be the
most ouiet that the people Of Milford
and adjacent country have experienced
for wears. Only two games Of base ball
will relieve the quiet. That there will
be no celebration in Milford Of any mo-
ment goes without saying, as the town
has long since lost interest in any thing
to attract large crowd here. The pro-
prietors Of Slaughter and Cedar beaches
respectively, have neither done any aa'
vertising which is evidence that moth
ing of special interest will be doing at
either place.
