Interesting Meeting of Newark Council.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal

NEWARK, May I4.--At an adjourned
meeting of Town Council. last night, the
question of new.pavement for the town
was considered. Il was decided to pave
the north side of Main street from Centre
station to Chapel street, also to pave in
froEt Of the Elliott property. Mr.. Elliott
has successfully blocked the Council for
over three years in all endeavors to.
straighten the street in front Of his prop
erty What action he will now take is not
known. The matter will probably be
settled in court.
No street improvements will be made in
the west end of town. The paYements
there are in q miserable condition.
Action was also taken in regard to
the old organ factory. 1t was reported
around town this afternoon that Mr..
Gambril of Baldwin's, had gotten within
Sl.2O0 of the organ factory peoples price,
and that he wanted the town To give him
free water. The truth of these statements
could not be ascertained as Councilmen
refused to tell what had been done. 1t is
generally concluded that MIR. Gambril's s
advances had been met half way.

Talks of Probable Inprovements.

Major Raymond, United States Engineer,
Talks of Probable improvements.
United States Engineer Major G. W.
Raymond, in charge of the Delaware river
and harbor improvements, says;
'At Schooner Ledge, between Chester
and Marcus Hook, there has been much
shoaling. which is due chiefly to the wash
from Chester Island. There is still a great
deal of rock which should be removed.
though some years ago large quantities
were blasted out and the channel deepened.
There was depth Of IS feet of water at
low tide over the ledge originally. The
depth now is "a feet over a width of $50
feet" 8
II is Major Raymond's opinion that this
channel ought to have attention. IL has a
hard bottom and is dangerous to vessels of
deep draught, and is regarded as most
Important place for forimprovements at the
present time.
"rhe Horseshoe shoal," Major Raymond
says, Chester Island bar and Marcus Hook
bar, upon which vessels have grounded at
infrequent intervals are out of the chan
mel, which in these localities is one of the
best in tie river. The shoals, which are
buoyed, are nearly parallel with the chan.
mel, and the government does not con-
template any improvement at these
points" ttAfsN

Gordon Heights and Shellpot give
promise OF being popular excursion resorts
for Philadelphia Sunday-schools and
societies. Manager Heger of the City
Railway Co. has already arranged for one
excursion party from Philadelphia. The
excursionists will arrive at Gordon Heights
at about 8 O'Clock in the morning and the
railway will afford communication with
Shellpot for those who wish to visit the
latter resort. Gordon Heights is an ad.
mirable picnic ground and is better located
than any other on the Delaware river, and
excursionlsts have an opportunity to visit

Tot So Much of a Nllsfortune.

The reasonable conclusion would seem
to be that the Republicans must pay the
penalty of their own folly in dividing their
votes between Higgins and Addicks. and
that Delaware must be content with
single representative in the United states
Senate until another Legislature assem-
bles, When, however, IL is considered that
that sole representative is Senator Gray, it
may happen that the misfortune is not so
great. and that there are other Democratic
States which would gladly exchange, it
such were possible, both OF their Senators
for one faithful, loyal Democrat like Gray.

Three of the negro boys. aged from to
