MAX ERDWURM MARRIED.
A Popular Clubman Welded Quietly
10 a Charming Lady.


TO a Charming Lady.
MIR. Max Erdwurm, prominent citizen
Of the Heights, living at No 208 Orient
avenue, was quietly married last Satur-
day evening to Miss Jennie Murphy of
No. 95 Orient avenue. The wedding took
place at the BRIDES home. and was of
q private nature, only members of the
family being present. The Rev. Father
Sheehan of st. Patrick's Church per-
formed the ceremony. Mr. Erdwurn is
an enterprising citizen, an owner of a
tin factory situated near his home. and
also President of the New Jersey Bowl
Ing Club on Virginia avenue, and Treas
urer of the Frank Kimmerly Associa-
ton, where he is deservedly very popu-
lar. Few men in that district are more
respected for sterling qualities of head
and heart than Mr.. Erdwurm or MAX"
as he is affectionately termed. His bon
hommie makes him a clubman and a
general good fellow.
Mrs. Erdwurm is g. tall and extremely
handsome woman of charming manners
and unusual accomplishments. Those of
their many friends who read this no.
tice will wish them the -prettiest and
trueSt of compliments.

tor to aeviate from the pending speeia-


There are four distinct specifications, !"
he said, land it is likely that there will
be one or perhaps more bids submitted
under each of them. Nothing is to be
gained by delay and much may be gained
by advertising for proposals. What the
city will gain by receiving proposals will
more than offset the outlay for advertis-
ing and other minor expenses. After the
bids are received we win see the ideas
of the different bidders. New sources OF
supply may be introduced, new sugges-
tions relative to the delivery of water
furnished and many other things. Once
we have bids, it then becomes the city's
duty to study out the plan which best
suits our case. Then is the time to en-
gage experts. employ engineers and have
them assist the city officials in determine
ing which plan is the best When the
best plan is selected, then it becomes a
duty to make the accompanying propo-
sitions fit the specification In that way
and no other should there be anv devia
ton.
1T is not likely that the water prob
lem will be disposed of speedily or with
out mature consideration Some action
must be taken or the question will al
ways hang fire." -
Mr.. HARDENBERGH'S OBJECTIONS.
Commissioner Hardenbergh's objections
to voting for the resolution to advertise
for proposals are like those of Presidenf
Jones. He will make a hot fight for the
employment of competent hydraulic en-
gineers to assist the city officials in de-
ternining which plan is the best and
suggesting safeguards which should be
embodied in contract before he votes
one way or the other. AS matters stand
at present, Clerk Bouton of the%Street
and Water Board is authorized to ad-
vertise for proposals as soon as Mayor
Wanser attaches his signature of ap-
proval to the water specifications. I'm
less something unforeseen turns up bids
for the new supply will be received by
Street and Water Board on the morning
of March 25

The "Pall Mall Gazette" says that the
applicants for the. bonds received letters
of allotment today embracing larger
amounts than they had expected to re-
ceive. The small applicants. the" Gazette
more than they were led TO believe they
would get, and the larger applicants from
five to fifteen per cent. in excess or their
applications.
Notwithstanding this statement, it Is
a fact that some applicants for large
amounts, who had sold bonds In expecta-
ton of receiving substantial al1otments.
are disappointed at the amounts they
have received, and there has been among
them some eager buying of bonds in Or

BRAVE LITTLE ONES.
Piteous Appeal Of a Girl
Against an Unnatural
Father.

One of the saddest and most path
etic tales ever told to Recorder Melon
ough, in all of his nineteen years ex-
perience as Recorder of Hoboken, was
told to him this morning by a pretty
young girl, poorly but neatly Clad who
called upon him to see II she could not
have her father kept away from her
house The Recorder had just dispensed
with number of drunks and disorder
lies and was about to leave the court
room when the young girl touched him
lightly upon the arm and in a trembling
and sad but sweet voice, said:--

Honor, in a CHEEKY tone; come right

Nine years ago he left my mother, my

Here the poor girl broke completely
down and burst into tears. After a
pause she continued

nine years ago lived at No. a56 Newark
street, with as good a wife and mother
as ever breathed, and six small chill

Al, the. thought of him leaving her
mother the sad look turned to one of
hatred and scorn, and her eyes fairly
flashed.

sick with heavy cold, from. which she
never recovered: in fact. she became

calmly. and told the congregation to
move quietly out of the church. They
walked out. not knowing what had hap
pened. Father Murphy. with many of
the Pensioners. rushed back into the
church. and saved all of the sacred yes-
sels. Down in the basement another
crowd was at work. Most of the benches
and small organ and piano were re-
moved.
Several wooden houses in the vicinity
caught fire. but the flames were ex-
tinguished before any damage was done.

DEFENCE OF BOSTON.
Next Problem for tho Naval War
ColIege-Coyerln. the Coast.


ColIege-Coyering the Coast.
NEWPORT, r. l.. Feb. q. 1895.-The
subject of the problem in naval warfare
to be considered at the next term of the
Naval War College will probably be the
defence of Boston and the coast. Last
year the defence Of New York and the
important waters of Long Island Sound
and Narragansett Bay was discussed and
valuable data secured in the solution
which would prove of great practical
value were the navy ever required to
actually defend these localities.
The Faculty of the college. Comman-
der H. c. Taylor. its President. and Lieu
tenants w. r. Rush. Frank Marble and
H B. Wilson have begun work upon the
outlines of their problems for the next
course of the war college, from June !
to October l5 but have not yet decided
upon the locality. The underlying prn-
ciple-naval manoeuvres aflcat and CO.
operative movements ashore will be in
volyed as 1t was last year, the Faculty
having found this to be the most COM
Drehersive, and tending to furnish soIu-
fions of the greatest practical value.
1t is expected that in alfew years, by
successfully taking contiguous pieces OF
coast for subjects for war college prob
lens, practical solutions for the defence
Of the entire coast can be secured. Tho
next class will consist of twenty-five Of
fcers.
