Left Many Creditors to Mourn.
Albert Hauser, a Union Hill carpen-
ter, has departed, leaving O saddened
party of creditors behind him.
Hauser has not been long in the
country, and when he took the con-
tract for Undertaken Gschwind's new
building he did not estimate intelli-
gently, and so has lost nearly 50, 900
on the job. Saturday evening Gsch-
wind paid him $3.50, the last install
ment of the gil 900 for which Hauser
had contracted to do the work.
Hauser Immediately packed up and
that was the last seen of him.
His creditors met in Judge Schnuer-
iger's office this morning and deter
mined to seize Hauser's property on
Franklin and Ann streets, but as it is
heavily mortgaged it will hardly sat
isfy their claims.
Some of the persons who trusted
Hauser not wisely, but too we'll, are
Dodge, the lumber dealer, whose bill
amounts to over $1,000; Spencer Bro
theirs, from whom Hauser bought 5000
worth of paints Mr.. Etzel, who
claims $43 for electric bells; Hufragel,
the hardware man, and several others.
The Turner's Had Great Success.
The friends of the Union Hill Turn
Verein taxed the seating capacity of
Ruth's Hall, Union Hill, to its utmost
Saturday evening, when the Verein
gave the concert and ball for which
North Hudson has been SO long pre-
pairing.
The proceeds will defray the ex-
penses of the fourteen chosen members
of the Verein, who will represent it at
the coming festival in Cincinnati.
The club swinging, rope jumping
and sword exercises by the children
reused much enthusiasm, which broke
out afresh when the march of the
chosen team began.
Mr.. Edward Koch sang a tenor solo
brilliantly. The entertainment closed
with the pleasing farce, "~Eigensinn,n
with the following cast:-Ausdorf, a
rich gentleman, G. A. Schumann;
Katharine, his wife, Miss L. Brauti-
gam; Emma, Mrs. Ritschel; Alfred,
Mr.. P. Kohlhepp; Heinrich, Mr.. G..
Gietz; Lisbeth, Miss G. Schmitt.
The performance received a curtain
call at the end of the farce. Then
came the ball, but the hall was too
crowded for Waiting with comfort.
North Hudson Notes.
A meeting has been called in the
Town Hall, West New York, for some
night this week, to organize a truck
company for the protection of the
town. This is a much needed step as
the little hamlet would be
absolutely at the mercy of the flames
if a fire should break out, and would
be compelled to ask help from the
Gutenberg and Union Hill depart
ments.
The Hambletons, of Union Hill, and
the Barnets, of New York, crossed bats

comedians from New York appeared.
Mrs. Dexheimer's goat was indis-
posed Saturday evening, so the rattle
had to be postponed until next Satur-
day.
