President Ware, before announcing etc appointments, called attention to the condition of the Council Chamber e declared that It was a disgrace to e city. Another subject that was touched upon with emphasis by the President waa the furnishing of music for the public at Pavilion No 1. He jaug seated the renting of the pavilion for nominal turn, to some one who for the privilege of Its use would guaranhe maintenance of a suitable muslcal^jen’ertainment there throughout the season.

HARBOR SET BACK General Mackenzie Again*, ttepe May Work VR ASIIIN'GTON, Jan. 7.—The project to establish a haabor of refuge at Cape May. received a setback today when a for from fovorable report waasubtniUed Congress. The findings are by Wajor Flagler. General Macketziy lay* the ndoraement. ^ ■' The plan is entirely feasible from an engineering standpoint, but tbe proposition for tbe General Government to join wbith private interests in creating a harbor at a point where there it no present commerce is an unusual one. As this case may serve aa a precedent in leading to a material change in the policy of dealing with new improvemeats, 1 concur in the views of the division engineer. Colonel Stickney, that this ia a question that only Congress, in its wisdom thooid decide." Major Flagler, in hli report, doubts Ihe necessity of establishing a harbor of refuge so near to Deitware Bay. The tone ot the report will probably prevent an appropriation for the project, onleei Congressman Gardner will show his influence at Waaniugton and get the appropriation in the River and Harbor

The report of the Security Trust Co. covering Its business for the year ending on December 31 shows a very satisfactory gain. Last year the Securcame near reaching the mark and a half muttons In deposit, which made a record year then, the year just ended, tbe deposits

York Utr.

Some years ago it wa* proposed that tbe body be brought to this SUte on the gf^und that It was New Jersey he served so signally in the early sixties but then the members of the General’* family objected and the mailer was dropped. There is being erected ic Newark a monument to the memory of General Kearny that will' cost when completed dose to $150 000. This has ted to the revival of the desire to have th* b-idy of the General reinterred in thle Bute.
