Castle Point Cyelers in Fear Of
], Their House Steward.

The members Of the Castle Point Cycle
Club, the fashionable wheeling organiza-
ton of Hoboken, which has an elegant
clubhouse at Park and Eleventh streets,
are in dread of their ~janitor, James
Schroeder. Since the night Of the Fourth
they have been in terror lest he should
do the members or the house some in
jury. They say that the janitor has peri
odical 5amborees and that he celebrated
the Fourth by tearing through the house
like a mailman, smashing and breaking
the furniture. He smashed one of the
doors to splinaters.
Last night a committee of the club, con-
sistfng OF President Trautwein, Herman
Lang and Cecil Hasbrook, called on Ser
geant Stanton at the Second Precinct
station and reported that. the janitor was
on the rampage again and that they We're
seeking some means of getting rid OF him
before he played havoc with the furniture.
They said that the jaudtor Keeps an I'M
mense mastiff dog which will fly at the
throat OF anyone who attempts TO. touch
its master. The dog is more feared than
The man. The police say they cannot eject
the ~janitcr. who has all the rights OF a
| tenant. and that it would be necessary
to shoot the dog before the janitor can
be arrested. The .Janftor is defiant and
claims no four policemen can arrest him.
Meanwhile the members are afraid their
| steward will injure the billiard tables and
other furniture in his drunken fury. Ser
go before the Recorder and get a warrant
for the janitor as a disorderly person.

hard work to find the ball, AMI made only

exciting, and the Oswegos tried very hard

hapk Planning a Burglary.

Thomas Johnson, Frank Brown and
Charles Brady, tramps, were committed
to lthe P~en9tentsary this morning by
Justice Potts for three months. Police

but the Sergeant at the desk in the
Gregory street station released them
upon hearing their explanation that they
had just come in on a freight train.
The tramps returned to a saloon at
Railroad avenue and Henderson street.
Entwistie Swallowed them and finally
went over to the spot where he had seen
the men. TIC his surprise he found a
loaded revolver and a burglars jimmy.
He kept a close watch on the suspects
and was rewarded by seeing Brady re-
turn to the spot where he had been ar
rested and look about for something.
After a few mute search he rejoined
his companions. Entwistle again ar
rested them.
In the station house they protested
their Innocence, but it did not work.
Chief Murphy believes the men contem-
plated committing a burglary.

Society.

PRIVILEGES OF LEAP YEAR.

A brilliant New Years ball was given
last night at the Concordia Club on Van
Ness avenue, and as in former years on the
same occasion the club sustained its high
reputation as an entertainer Though all
the arrangements were delegated TO spe-
cially selected committees that carried out
the trust of receiving the ladies and their
friends in way that left nothing to be de-
sired, members assumed the pleasant duty
of assisting as bosts
The clubrOoms were lavishly decorated
with seasonable evergreens and flowers.
Chandeliers were transformed into sus-
pended bowers OF greenery, ferns, smilax
ana Christmas greens, having been deity
woven to represent natural clusters that
might be looked for in some basky dell.
The halls were beautifed-if indeed it were
possibly to further adorn them-wjth fes-
toons OF green leaves and wreaths, from
which red berries cleaned prettily. But
above all the ballroom and the supper
room appeared in the loyeliest of winter
garbs-the walls festooned with flowers of
brilliant hues, intertwined with light
touches or evergreen, while here and there
were great masses of blossoms and Christ
mas berries amid green wreaths or gar
lands.
The guests began to arrive shortly be-
lore o'clock, and for fully Two hours a
constant stream of fashionable people
passed through the doors of the ballroom.
The ladies fairly outdid themselves in the
elegance and beauty of their costumes, for
rarely, II ever before, was such variety of
exquisite gowns seen at any ball in this
City. and there were so many guests
fully 3OO-the ballroom scene>was indeed
brilliant; 1t was the ball of the year in
fashionable Jewish circles.
Dancing began with march and the
lancers, which were followed by waltz,
a deux temps and fine extra numbers be-
fore midnight, when all withdrew to the
supper-room to enjoy a dainty supper.
Promptly at the midnight hour all pres
ent exchanged New Years greetings, ac-
companied with a general shaking of
hands and expressions Of good wishes.
The following menu was discussed with
out the formality of toast, but as if the
guests and hosts constituted one large
family party:
CoSCoRDIA CLUB.
California Oyster Cocktail.
Frogs a la Poulette 00n'0mme'
Squads On Toast Fresh Mushroo m Sauce.

Shrimp Salad.

g.. - Pickles. Olives.
DESSERT.
Pombierc Icecream.
Assorted Cakes. Candies. Sated Almonds
Pistache Cream Cake. Camelia Cream Cake
Mocha Cream Cake.
Fruit. Cafe
After the supper the ball was given over
to the management of the ladies' it being
then their privilege, because 1896 is a leap
year. The ladies were presented with
beautiful souvenir programmes, bearing
the inscription in gold letters amid bells
and roses, "With best wishes for the sea
son." And ten the merry dance was
resumed, to be kept up until daylight.

VAN GUELPEN'S STEAL.
Warrant Out for the Arrest of the De-
fauIting Treasurer Of tho Cigar
Makers Union.

President T. f. Burns OF the Cigar
makers Union appeared in Judge Joa-
chi,nsen's court yesterday and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of George w. Van
Guelpen ON the charge of embezzling $500
of the funds of the union.
Van Guelpen was for years the secretary
and treasurer of the union, and implicit
confidence was placed in him by the Off
GERS and mem bers.
On September u his disappeared from
the City, and an examination OF his books
showed that he was defaulter to the ex-
tent of between $500 and $i100 The union
at subsequent meeting agreed to pay an
assessment per month till the amount of
the treasarer's defalcations was liauidated
50 that the funds OF the union would not
be depleted.
The probability is that Van Guelpen has
returned to the City, hence the warrant for
his arrest.
