until after the holidays. To-day the en-
plOyes OF the old mill were notified that

guide and sbeet-iron departments Of
Singer. Nimick & Co.'s mill, employing
about one hundred men, closed down

TIE GEODETIC SURVEY.
important Developments Made Boundary
Line Traced.


A Washington special says: The summa-
nv report Of the United States Coast and
Geodctic Survey for the last fiscal year has
been sent to the Secretary OF the Treasury.
Among the estimates is one for SlS,000-not
S25 900, as first reported-for the resurvey
OF New York bay and harbOr, including East
river TO Throg's Neck. OF this additional
item Professor liigard says it was intro
duced at the instance OF the maritime and
commercial bodies OF the city OF New
York. The commercial Importance OF the
port OF New York is so great that, in his
opinion, q constant watch should be kept
on the changes in the harbOr, and the de-
pariment recommends the appropriation
asked for this purpose.
Professor IIlgard urges the necessity for
the larger appropriations for the continu-
ance OF the work Of the survey, as he Is
often obliged TO recall parties for want Of
funds during the best part OF tue season,
or delay sending them till but part Of sea.
sons work can be accomplished.
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS.
Among the more important develop
ments Of the past fiscal year affecting imme-
dialely the interests of commerce and nayi-
cation may be mentioned The location OF a
dangerous ledge in Englshman's bay,
coast OF Maine: the development OF lodges
of MInOt's lighthouse, Massachusetts, bay !;
the discovery OF several dangerous shoals
in MonomOy passage; the location OF dan
gerous rock off Warren's Point. Rhode
Island, and OF dangerous lodges in Fishers
Island sound the discovery OF rocks IN East
river. New York, near North Brother and
Riker's islands, and OF a dangerous rock
in East river, in the prolongatIon Of TWEEN
tieth street, near Mes Rock; the survey
and development OF dangerous shoals of
Cape Henlopen, and important changes OF
higl-water line near that point. To these
and other dangers attention was promptly
called by the publication of "Notices to
Mariners"
A request from the joint commission OF
the State OF PeDnsy lyania and West

adopted by the JOINT commissioners was a
