LOOKS LIKE CHORAL DIsCORD.
Father Corrigan's New Musical Proje'
Offends His Choir.


Father Corrigan's New Musical Project
OfSends His Choir.
Sunday last at the several masses in the
Church of Our Lady of Grace. Hoboken.
the pastor. Rev. P. Cerrigan, announced
that he had made arrangements to organ
ize grand choral union, to which would
be admitted ladies and gentlemen, Prot
estants or Catholics, free of charge. He
spoke enthusiastically of the project. and
said it had long been his desire 10 see the
church provided with a large chorus,
the members of which would raise their
voices in songs of praise and thanksgiy-
ing. He said he knew there Was taleiit Ia
the young people of the parish, and he
urged all to join, rich and
poor. There would be no
favoritism, he said. as Prof. Nuremberg,
whom he has engaged as leader, would
select the voices.
The senior choir of the church is COM
posed of ladies and gentlemen of the
parish, who have given their services free,
and the majority of whom have been
taught by Prot. de Granville. Mr.. de
Granville has been Organist of the church
for over thirty-five years, aud is highly
respected by the members of the parish.
He likewise has given his services free
all this time, the cost to the church for
the choir being merely few hundred
dollars year for music.
Father Corrigan's announcement of the
formation of the choral union. and that
he had engaged Prof. Neuenherg as
leader. was a surprise to the organist and
the singers. He had not consulted then
at all in the matter, had not even extend
ed them special invitation to join the
union: but he did say the junior choir
conf posed of number Of young ladies
would form the necleus of the choral
union.
All these little matters promise to ere
ate rumpus IN the church. Professor
de Granville has rendered his resignation
as orgapist, aud it is expected the mem
bers Of the choir will do likewise before
Sunday next.

nOBoKEN's SCHOOL wRANGLE.

A New Candidate for the High School
Vacancy-New York Out of 1t.
There was 'fmuslc in the ar'' at the
meeting of the Board of Education of
Hoboken last nightover the appointment
of teacher for the third class in the
High School, which has besn vacant
since the beginning Of the last term.
Discipline has been enforeed in the
High School since Principal Brewer
of School No. 5, exchanged places with
Principal Elston. In the third class,
monitresses seem unable to enforce dis
cipline, so it is necessary permanent
teacher should be assigned. Last week
special meeting of the Board was called
to appoint teacher and pass the pay
rolls. No. quorum appearing, there was
no meeting. Some of the trustees, if that
meeting had been held, would have voted
for Miss Lewis of New York. Presi-
deLt Russ favored Miss Lewis as
lid Trustees Hess and John Reid. Trus-
tees Dynan and Cannon favored thu ap-
Dointment of one of Hoboken's fair
daughters who had graduated from the
High School aud the State Normal
School. They intended that the girls of
Hoboken should be given preference, pro-
vlded, of course. they were capable They
favored the promotion of Miss Julia
o. roole. a teacher in the primary school.
but qualified for the vacant position. The
contention of both parties has been the
talk of Bbe city for some days.
The prevailing ''home rule" sentiment
scared Russ, Hess and Reid. SO they
dr. pped Miss Lewis and last night rec
ommeDded to the position Miss Mary K.
LAWYER, who for some twenty wears has
been teaching in NO. 8 School. Miss
Lawier is a teacher capable in every way
and one whom scholars have always re-
spectyN
trustee Cannon opposed the appoint
menfEnerely ysaying that he saw no rea-
soa 4pr haste, as tnere WAS another
vacB1cy existing that had not yet been
tiliedE No name was mentioned at the
meeting nut Miss Lawler's. Three times
during the meeting he subject was sand
wich d between the other business, and
three times the motion to appoint was
lost by vote OF six in the ath NATIVE to
-four in the negative, eight votes being
necessary for selection.

A HORSE THAT NEVER WON.

judge Lippincott tried case in the
Circuit Court yesterday without a jury.
The suit was brought by AdolDh Adel-
man against John Carmody. Both men
are familiar figures at the different race
tracks and are well known sports. Adel-
man was once the owner of the race
horse Grapeshot, which proved to be o
very Improbable investment. AMI was
never known to win race.
1t was claimed by Adelman yesterday
that he became disgusted with such per-
formances and gave the horse to Car
mudy 10 be trained, and he also author
lied Carmody 10 sell the animal
for $500. Carmody denied this and
said the price of the horse was fixed at
5000 for which sum the trainer sold him.
Adelman W ,nted 10 recover the difference
between $500 and $500 from Carmody.
Judge Lipplncott reserved his decision.

Mr.. M'DONALD'S DANGER,
The Congressman's Sickness Very
Serious-Brought on by Cam.
paign Work.

When JERSEY CRY NEWS reporter
called at the home of Congressman Nc
Donald on Davis avenue. Harrison, late
last night. he was told by Mrs. McDouald
that there was a slight improvement in
his condition, but that his illness was of
very dangerous character, and grave
fears are entertained as to his recovery.
1t is certain that he will not be able to
take any further active Part in the cam
paigp.
The news of Congressman McDonald's
illness spread like wildfirs and was the
sole topic of conversation among poll
ticians in all parts of the county last
night. Many who knew the Congress-
man better Than others EXPRESSED little
surprise at his illness. Tney said they
knew that Mr.. Mcdonald for a long time
had not been we'll man, and many of
them had endeavored to persuade him to
refrain from taking such an active part
IN the campaign, but he would not listen
TO tnem. he has made, on an average,
two speeches night since the campaign
opened. and has made hundreds of votes
for The democratic tlckeb.
HIS SICKNESS.
On Saturday morning Congressman
Mcdonald was unable 10 leave his home.
He was chilled and complained of severe
rison, his family physician. was called in.
He saw at a glance that the Congress
mans illness WAS serious. AS night an
| preached. the Congressman began TO sink
| rapidly and Drs. Henry and Roth were
called in. The physicians held consul
| tation and one of them remained within
| easy call oil night. Sunday morning, the
sick mans condition was slightly i'm
| proved, but yesterday he had another bad
| turn and it looked as though he would
not survive the day. Last night slight
| improvement was again noticed. Inc
malady has been diagnosed by the doctors
| as pneumonia of a very severe type.
| DEVOTED WATCHERS.
| Mrs. Mcdonald, the devoted wife of the
| Congressman. is in constant attendance.
| She will not employ a nurse, preferring
| to look after her husband herself. The
| strain on her is so great that the ply
sicians will iusst that she take a rest.
| The Copgressman's family consists of
| four boys and one girl. 1t was a sorrow
| ful household Monday, but last night the
report of slight improvement in the
| patients condition had the effect oe buoy
| ing up their dropping spirits.
Among the callers at the house last
night were Freebooter Tierney ana Judge
| MuIliean of Harrison, two of the Con-
| gressman's most Intimate friends, No
one is allowed to see the patient.
