New CASTLE, March 2s.-An inspection
of the jetty was made to-day by three ill.,
spectors Of the United States Engineer
Corps relative to the channel which has
been cut by the jetty. Other improve
ments are to be made, as the current is so
strong on the western side that it has cut
away great quantity OF the shore n0lr
the lighthouse, and has made the lights
somewhat out of range. 1t has also made
a splendid bathing resort, and u great
many persons took advantage OF II last
summer.
Many persons who place flowers upon
the graves of departed relatives or friends
in the Episcopal cemetery have been much
grieved To see the vandalism and destcra-
ton committed by school children and
others, who 60 into tho yard ard tear up
and destroy the decorations. The atten-
ton of the police has been called to the
same and it is expected that some arrests
will follow.

meeting last night to take 10 shares in tho
third series of the Citizens Building and
Loan Association. 1t il expected that IN
short while an armory may he built,
