WEATHER TO-DAY. Official Forccnat. The weather too ay will be fair aad cooler and will cootlnoa until Wednesday night. To-nl K bt there will U' the usual Tuesday evening ball at the Stock too. All should attend It. The “Evening. Bulletin'’ of Philadelphia, publlahed an. alleged'account of the aad death of J. Sergeant Price which was almost wholly online. attributed the sad event to drowning asserting that Mr. Price was drawn beyond his depth and to bis death by

'Nothing of the kind occurred, and we are at a loaa to understand why a raputable journal abonld publish a statement so damaging to the reputation of the resort, when It bad a

lutely oo foundation In fact.

The Stockton baa eontributed largely to the entertainment of visitors during the season, Hr. Hoiaoe M. Cake, the proprietor, having provided faellilles for the purpose at great expense, and

it la very fitting that appreciation for these efforts abonld be shown In th c

form of a testimonial benefit to Mr. Cake,' which D to occur next Saturday evening as announced Incur advertising columns. That H will prove to be another of the aeries of grand and suoeeeaful affairs which have occurred at the Stockton this season we have no doubt. Extensive preparation! are being made by the committee In charge to provide many entertaining features, sod the memory of lest season's most ■noceasfnl testimonial to Mra.Cake will attract an even larger company.

City Surveyor N. C. Prloo has prepared drawing on a large acale of the plan of the waterworks, showing all the wells, machinery, tanfca, etc., and giving the depth to which eaob well la la driven. These are to Ce placed in the City Recorder'! OfBoe for preeervaUon. He Is also preparing a oaae faced with glass which la to contain the varIona kinda of aoll through which the pipe baa 'been driven to the point at which aatiafictory water waa obtained. The soil will be so arranged aa to dearly abow the various stratas, their trend And depth, and will prove to be a moat Intereatlug exhibit This alto will probably find ita way to the office of the City Recorder. The water for the olty Is now drawn from a series of driven wells, averaging over one hundred feet In depth, and being about thirty In number. Most of these have

been driven along the line of

and 8 J R R through the courtoay of that company by granting the privl lege, baa probably aaved the olty an expense of some thousands wbiob It would have been compelled to pay for

land. The old wella are held

for use in ease of fire. The capacity of lbs new wells la 8,000,000 gallons per day and the water la of aupeiior quality. The next Improvement to the system Is likely tc be the runnldg of s main down Broadway, thus making a a complete circuit and abolishing dead ends. There may be more tanks erected, also ao aa to secure a larger reserve. The city Is jnetly proud of the system and Ita completeness, and baa

demonstrated the .great value

payers of municipal ownership, the work yielding a Urge revenue to the olty treasury. The grounds about the water works have* boon prettily Uld out sod are kept In the pink of condition by the engineer, James Rloe, and

his assistant, Samuel Barton.
