THE BROWN ASSOCIATION
Its Summernight's Fest At
tended by a Large Crowd
Of People.

The Summernight's Fest Of the Brown
Association, held last night at Pohlman's =
Park, was very successful AS early as
eight O'Clock couples began to arrive and
the festivities continued until early this
morning. The dancing was ali in the
pavilion, from which pretty view of
lower Jersey City, the river and New York
was visible. The silence of this
scene and the soft twinkling of
the lights on the passing craft
and the lights of the city over the
river contrasted strangely with the romp-
ing and glare in the pavilion. All the
ladies present were young, and there
seemed to be scarcity of family parties.
During the evening the dancing was
relieved by an exhibition drill of the far
famed Van Houten Drum and Fife Corps
under the leadership of ex-Alderman
Marinus. The corps is too well known
and too widely praised to need any
their exhibition was literally ap-
plauded The orchestra of Pro.
fessor Beggs furnished the music
for dancing, in which about one
hundred couples participated. At one
O'Clock supper was served, after which
dancing was resumed and continued
until the affair broke up about two hours

German English School Hall where
dinner was served.
After dinner the delegates proceeded
to consider the business before the con-
vention. Most of the business was trans
acted in private, but o long set of
resolutions were passed which set forth
that two years ago, through the efforts of
the liquor dealers, the Legislature was
made Democratic, and promises were
made that the license bill passed by the
Republican Legislature should be re-
peaIed. Instead of this the Werts'
| bill was enacted This the assembled
dealers protested against. demanding the
| right to open liquor saloons after noon on
| Sundays, and the establishment of u
| minimum license fee OF 500.

A CHURCH FOR GREEKS.
The Two Hundred Families in tho Co,
rsusIdino 81 Nav Housa of ypora,,t,

The Two Hundred Families in the County
Building New House of Worship.
A small, unpainted, weather-stained
building, one story high. covering an area
of about 2ox16 feet, and containing only
two windows, on the lot corner of Chest
nut avenue and Henry street, has for
three years been the place of worship for
the Greek Catholics of Hudson county.
The congregation is the only one of the
kind in New Jersey, and, outside of Penn
sylvania, in the United States. The
church holds allegiance to, and recog-
nizes the Pope as the head OF the church,
differing in this particular from the
Orthodox Greek church. which recognizes
the Car OF Russia as its head. At the
controlled by Bishop or other officials of
the Roman Catholic Church.
The society meeting on the Hill is
known as 1.-THE Greek Catholic Church
Of Saints Peter and Paul" I'ne quai Mt
edifice was erected about three years ago,
and until recently it has been sufficiently
large to accommodate the worshippers with
standing room only. Now, it has become
too limited for the two hundred families
composing the congregation, and without
any fuss or noise the church recently de-
termined to erect a larger edifice.
Yesterday ground was broken for the
foundation, and by the first of December
one-story building, 30x85, Will take the
place OF the present structure, and con-
stitute a new church home for the Greek
Catholics scattered all over Hudson
county.
Plans for the building were drawn by
Architect George L. Bettcher. Messrs.
John M. Klink, carpenter, and Martin

GRIFFING IRON COMPANY.

1t Takes Hand in the Dispute Between
the City and Central Railroad.
AT the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night the following petition
from the A. A. Grifiing Iron Company,
handed in by Alderman Max Salinger,
was read and referred 10 the Committee
on st reets:-
Honorable Board of Aldermen Jersey City,
The petition of the A. A. Grlfiiug Iron
Company respectfully shows:-That the
said company has q large iron foundry
located on the Morris Canal, midway be-
tween Communipaw avenue and the
Newark and New York Railroad Com
pany. where it employs steadily more
than five hundred men aud boys at an an
nual payroll of more than $780,
That during the past few years com
petition has become so close and the
margin of profit SO narrow that your
petitioners have frequently considered
the advisability of moving its works to
some more convenient point in the South
western States. especially as it hnd been
unable to secure a railroad connection
into it's yard whereby to obtain without
great carting expenses its necessary sup
ply of iron and coal.
That finally. and after much negotia-
ton, il secured from the Central Railroad
of New Jersey the promise of spur from
its New York branch at point near Van
Horn street to said foundry. The peces-
sary rights OF way were. purchased, and
the construction of the spur COM
menced. In making the surveys,
therefore, it was found that by ca
son of the coal chutes used by Patrick
H. Rehill at the junction of Van Horn
street and said railroad, said spur would
have to be built somewhat below the
grade of the Newark and New York
Railroad; that your petitioners have been
informed that the city claims that in 1889
Woodward street was opened from Com
munipaw avenue to the line of the right
of way Of the Newark and New York
Railroad Company.
While the railroad claims that said
street is only opened to the line of its
property, which is distant about forty
feet north OF the northerly line of said
right of way, that in order to build said
spur 1t will be necessary to cross said
Woodward street, on said disputed tract,
at or about at the grade of said street;
that this company does not pretend TO
know the exact rights of the city and said
railroad in said strip, but it submits
that the interests of the city would be in
jured by permitting said crossing at least
temporarily and until more feasible
plan can be developed for getting over or
through said coal chutes, especially as
Woodward street ends in the embank-
ment, over twenty feet in height, Of the
railroad at this point, and as the railroad
owns the land on both sides OF Wood
ward street for a distance Of over five
hundred feet on the westerly side and of
over one hundred fifty feet on the easter
ly side.
Your petitioners, therefore, pray that
your Honorable body will pass q resolu-
tion permitting said spur of railroad,
which is known as the Lafayette Rail
road, to construct its road with a single
track across Woodward street at grade.
or at most more than Ave feet above the
grade thereof.
