Chance for Mayor
WanSer.

The new Fifth Precinct Station House
in Greenville, although but half COM
pleted, is already falling to pieces. Last
week two brick arches in the basement
tumbled down. and there is further evi-
dence that the material used in the con-
struction of the building is not of the best
quality. The large arch over the stable
doorway is cracked. The brown stone
block trimmings are also of poor
quality. The stone is SO soft
that 1t can be cut with knife. Door
man Pinkham. of the Fifth Precinct, who
is an experienced stone cutter. says that
the brown stone is of the poorest quality.
"Wbyw said ne, "you can take knife
and cut it as you would piece of wood. ;"

late Bishop Peck of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, has instituted suit for breach

returnable on February s.
Mrs. VanuorIwck became acquainted

and on Independence Day Mr. Holbrook
made proposition of marriage. She
accepted him and January 2 of this year
was named as the wedding day. About
September l, Mrs. Vannortwick noticed
that Mr.. Holbrook's attentions to her
were less assiduous than formerly. A
few weeks later she received several
anonymous communications, the tenor of
which Were deroqatory to the defendants

from Mr.. Hobrook, for she had learned
in the meantime that he was paying at
tentions to a young widow In Ocean
Grove.

alleges that she moved all her furniture TO
her fiaDce's cottage in Ocean Grove and
made preparations for the Wedding. She

FOR THE RAYMOND ROTH HOME.
Handsome Sum Realized at the Pioneer
Verein's Concert Last Night.

Handsome Sum Realized at the Pioneer
Verein's Concert Last Night.
Seldom has Pohlmann Hall held a
larger and more select assemblage than
that which thronged it to the doors last
night. The best element OF German So
ciety on the Heights was represented,
and the affair was brilliant success. 1t
was the occasion of a concert and ball
given under the auspices of the Ladies'
Pioneer Verein, and the proceeds, which
were very large, will be devoted to the
Raymond Roth Home for Aged Ger
mans.
Long before eight o'clock the lower
pavilion began to fill, and at eight o'clock
there was not a vacant seat and crowds
stood In the aisles aud rear OF the halls.
The assemblage was fashionable one,
including many of the prominent mem
bers of society in Hudson City.
The first artist to appear was Miss
Martha Meyer, the well-known contralto
of st. John's Church. Miss Meyer re-
ceived an ovation. Her voice was in ex-
celtent condition, and she rendered sew
eral contralro solos. which elected hearty
applause. Mr.. Walter Wisths, who has
quite a reputation as baritone
cred several selections excellently. The
hit of the evening was made BY Miss
Carter Rohr. who came next on the pro-
gramme. AS an elocutionist Miss Rohr
has few equals, and the manner in which
she reclted pathetic and humorous
pieces occastoned the highest praise.
She was encored several times. Mr..
F. A. Mollenhauer, the talented
violinisu, performed several difficult
selections on the violin and the Arion
double quartette followed. Thequartette
was in its usual good form and received
well earned applause. The concert closed
with an overture by Prof. Louis Eckert's
orchestra. Prof. Eckert is furnishing
rare music of late and 1t is understood
that he is candidate for the position OF
leadership of Cappa's band.
After the concert the large audience
adjourned to the spacious ballroom over
head. where a reception was held. The
dancing order was lengthy one, and 1t
was early morn before the last CT the

PRACTICAL RAPID TRANSIT.

At the meeting Of the Hoboken Common
Council last night petition was received from
the North Hudson County Railway Company
asking for track privileges, which throws some
light on the company's plans for giving the
citizens of West Hoboken rapid transit, more
especially to the Fourteenth street ferry. The
petition asked for the right to run double track
surface railway from its present tracks in
Willow avenue, through Fifteenth strest to the
foot Of the Hill, aud thence southerly aaong the
private right Of way Of the company at point
twenty five feet of the western boundary OF
the city with clearance of at least thirteen
feet above the surface of Fourteenth street.
If this privilege be granted, the Company can
run along the inclined road at Fourteenth
street to the Hl on to Palisade avenue. Thus
rapid transit communication would be afforded
ali the northern townships with the upper and
lower Hoboken ferries.
