LADIES' PIONEER VEREIN.

Successful Summernight's Festival for
the Home for Aged Germans.
The Ladies' Pioneer Verein is an auxil-
fairy OF the Pioneer Verein of Hudson
county, an organization which has on it's
rolls the names of some of the very best
of the German citizens. Its members are
the wives and daughters of the members
of the Pioneer Verein.
In May, 1888, an old gentleman by the
name of Raymond Roth died, leaving
$130,000, $4,000 of which he bequeathed
to any society that would organize for
the purpose of erecting a home for
aged German people of Hudson county.
The Pioneer Verein was organized to
carry out Mr.. Roth's purpose. The wives
and daughters of its members organized
themselves into an auxiliary and in De-
cember last gave a fair at Coopers' Hal
which netted them $4,000. This, with
other funds in the hands of the Pioneer
Verein, swelled the amount to $4,000
Grounds for the building have already
been purchased in G~reenville-a portion
of the Vreeland estate-and the good
ladies of the Verein will hold a festival in
the fall to open the grounds for the
Home. The $4,000 will be handed over
in August, during which month young
Mr.. Roth, the principal heir under the
will, reaches his majority. Oscar
Fackert and Charles Stier are the execu-
tors.
Last night the Ladies' Pioneer yerein
d $3.50 to the fund by giving a sum-

was well attended. The affair was man

THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS NEEDS.
Where the Money Has Gone and Where
Some More Is Needed.

Where the Money Has Gone and Where
Some More Is Needed.
In connection with the impoverished
condition of the Fire Department, set
forth in an article published several days
ago in reference to the appropriation
asked of the Board of Finance by the Fire
Board, it may not be amiss to state that
there is not a single spare engine nor
extra horse in the Department.
The sum of $4,000 annually has been
allowed on the general claim account to
run six districts, averaging 5000 to a dis
trict. From this is to be deducted moneys
spent for coal, horse feed, repairing of
apparatus and harness and buying horses.
The horse feed bill amounts to $3.50 a
month, and horse shoeing $135 a month.
In winter the Department runs $1,000 be-
hind, and catches up by taking off all h
heaters in summer. The laying of four
floors has recently been started, N at
No. 6 Engine House, one at No. 2, n at
No. z and one at No. 10. This has put the
Board So 500 behind. The roofs of the
houses are nearly all leaking, and there is
no money to make necessary improve
ments.
Since the Department organized in 1871
there have been only three sets of harness
purchased. In 1873, $147, 900 was allowed
the Department. In 1888 only S102, 900 was
allowed, and there were $50 more runs"
than in any previous year since its organ
ization. If the Finance Board would add
s12,O 900 annually for the next two years it
would put the Department in ship-shape
order.
Two weeks ago No. 9 engine broke down,
and No. 5 Trucks horses were taken sick
at the same time. 1t was found necessary
to take No. 9s horses and put them on
duty at No. 5 Truck, leaving No. 9 Engine
Z Engine was obliged to cover No. 9 En-
gine's boxes.

THE FLOODED. POTOMAC.


Highest Water-Mark on Record-Two Spans
of the Long Bridge Gone
WASHINGTON. D. C., June S.-Aftee
reaching the highest mark on record yester-
day afternoon, the Potomac began to fall
rapidly, and this morning the streets in
South Washington were free fsom water
all along the river front. It grad
uaIly receded throughout the day.
bringing the wharyes I5once.; more to
view. Hundreds of fish were left behind by
the receding stream and were caught with
the hands by boys and men who searched
through the wet grasses of the Smithsonian
grounds and elsewhere for them. The Fish
Commission spread large nets -aout in the
river near the monument for the
purpose OF recovering as many
of the German carp, which es.
capped from the breeding-station as
possible. Besidesthe carp, million young
shad two inches long were set at liberty BY
the flood. Several schoohers and large boats
have been left high and dry. There are
fears expressed that the foundation of the
Washington monument might have been
seriously damaged and a careful examine
ton will be made.
The long bridge, which it has been feared
all along would be swept away by the tur.
bulent river and the boats and debris which
smashed against it, remained intact, though
badly strained, until about o'clock this
afternoon, when one of the spans next the
ura" oEohe house anu staFteu down the river.
One other span will have to be cut away,
and tonight or tomorrow the work
of repairing 1.-The bridge will begin.
It is badly wrecked and torn and
will cause considerable loss to the PennsvI.
vanla railroad, which crosses it to make its
Southern connections. The railroad situa.
tion has frightened up considerable. The
Pennsylvania railroad to-day again made
connection with New York and places ives,
as far as Harrisburg for the first time since
Saturday. Mr.. J. Lowrey Bell, the Super
intendent of Railway Mail Service, stated
that the transportation of mails is In a con
fused state.
