of the greatest Importance to persons who
have to move about the country on bust
ness or for pleasure. Just where to GO
is what every man wants to know when
he leaves home. The Grand Union Ho-

York City, is very popular resort, be-
casse the attendance there is prompt and
satisfactory. The charges are reasonable

For some time ordinance officers OF
the United States army have been look
ing for suitable tract Of land upon
which to store the government powder
and erect works for the manufacture Of
powder. The essential conditions are
that the tract shall be away from the
salt air, which Is said 10 have a deteri-
Grating influence upon the article; that
IL shall at the same time be easy Of ac-
cess and easily fortified; that it shall
afford water power and have deposits
Of clay necessary for manufacture;
that 1t shall be large enough 10 contain
4 number Of magazines at such distan-
ees apart that the explosion Of one will
not affect the rest, and 1t is desirable
that the location shall be behind the
fortifcations OF New York harbor.
Locations have been surveyed in Penn
sylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey.
The tract known rs the ''Middle Forge
property" on the Green Pond noun
tain. Morris county, N. j., q few miles
from Dover, seems to have been finally
selected. At least, negotiations have
SO far advanced that, at the request Of
the army officer I'm charge, bill was
passed by the late New Jersey legisla-
ture to allow the United States to ac-
quire title to the land. The tract
contains 1,40o acres. and belongs to
George Z. Fighter.
Congress has made an appropriation
OF sl00, 900 for this purpose, and annu-
al appropriations for maintaining the
magazine and manufactory will be
made hereafter. 1t is expected that
similar action will be taken by the navy
department.
