Hoboken Notes.

The first annual ball of the employees of
Odd Fellows Hall will be held at the hall
tonight and no doubt will be one of the
finest events OF the season. The decora-
tions by Schwenck are on grand scale
and Major Weinthaps double orchestra
will furnish the music.
S. T. Meyenberg, the proprietor of
Meyenberg's silk works on Clinton
street. will leave for Europe in the fall
for the benefit of his health.
The Hoboken Camera Club celebrated
its first anniversary today by giving a
banquet at Naegeli's Hotel.
The Rev. Mr.. Fruend, of St. Johns
German Evangelical Church, united two
couples in the bonds of matrimony. They
were John Morton, OF Brooklyn, to Miss
Mary Wilhelmine Gilbert, of this city,
and Otto Pabst, of New York, to Miss
Emily Stuke, of Hoboken.
1t is probable that Schutzen Park,
Union Hill, will be occupied by the Miller
Rifle Club on Decoration Day. The club
will hold monster shooting festival and
picnic at the big park on that day.
The funeral of Dr. Joseph Schrenck, the
late director of the Hoboken Academy,
took place this afternoon. Appropriate
memorial services were held in the Acad-
emy. The deceased was greatly beloved
by the students.
Mayor Grassman has vetoed the resolu-
tion of the Council favoring the accept
ance of $11, 900 as compromise from the
bondsmen of John McMahon. The Mayor
thinks the city ought to recover $4,000,
which might be done ii the corporation
attorney pressed some of the poor bonds
men. 1t Is; highlyl probable that the
Council will pass the resolution over the
Mayors veto.
the politics in the Third ward are sadly
mixed and it would take a very smart
man to name the winner. There are q
half a dozen candidates for Alderman
and Lord only knows how many would
| like to be School Trustee.
The people will determine whether the
police shall receive an increase in pay at
| the coming election. The increase seems
to meet with general appreciation, as an
awful lot of territory IS covered by them.

| tician interceded for him and he was
severely rebuked by the Recorder and

| leave his mothers house.
| The Rev. Father Tighe, who is beyond
| doubt one of the most eminent preachers

nouncement of his preaching always has
| the effect of crowding the church.
| The First Ward Democratic Club, Q
| strong organization, will meet at Bonce
| let's tomorrow afternoon.
