could ill afford to lose Mr.. Wick and that
his past work is greatly appreciated. The
letter further stated that the church did
not feel that his place could be easily
filled and that Mr. Wick's gain was the
churc1,s loss.
DR.. Brett paid a tribute to Mr.. Wick,
saying that he could not see how his
loss could be supplied in the church he
was leaving.
Mr.. Wick, in referring to his resigna-
ton, said he wished to express his love
and veneration for the Rev. Mr.. Van
Cleef, pastor emeritus of the church he
was soon to leave.
Il have enjoyed the best of fellowship
with all of you, he said "and 1 deeply
regret my exit from the South Bergen
Chassis. My ministry has been a success.
My congregation has been very kind to
me and if my future congregation is as
devoted to me as the one 1 am leaving
shall enjoy prosperity
Mr.. Wick's resignation was accepted.
He then resigned as clerk of the Chassis
and this was also accepted.
Fhe pastors then partook of an excellent
lunch provided by the ladies of the
church. AT two o'clock the afternoon
session began. The afternoon was wholly
devoted to the reading of reports and ap-
pointing committees.

THE VOTE IN HOBOKEN.
Fourth Ward viii Poll
More Than Any Other
In the City.

In Hoboken the fine weather brought
the voters out early this morning. In
many of the precincts small knots of
citizens ha dgathered before the polls
opened The voting began at six o'clock
and was brisk UP till noon.
Indications point that the Fourth Ward
an old Democratic stronghold, will poll
more votes than any other ward in the
city. Two, three and four hundred votes
were polled early in the morning in the
majority of the precincts of this ward.
A hard contest is being waged in this
ward, but it is believed that it will go
Democratic by some four hundred
majority.
The Stuhr faction has Pinkerton de-
tectives stationed at all the polls to look
after the interests of the ex-senator The
presence of the detectives is not regard
ed with favor by a large percentage of
the voting population.
Evidences of the intense feeling in the
contests are displayed throughout the
town. Citizens awoke this morning to
find the sidewalks converted into so many
ballots Enterprising friends of the diff
ferent candidates had made a tour of
the town with paint pots during the
night and every available inch of sur
face was daubed with injunctions
and advice to vote for that or
the other candidate. The en-
ployes of the Hamburg-American Line
and other steamship companies along the
river front were given, an extra hour to
vote. They were dismissed at eleven
O'Clock this morning and were not obliged
to return until one this afternoon.
The crowds at the polls were orderly
and no occasion for police interference to
preserve order presented itself up to
late hour this afternoon.
Ex-senator William Stuhr, the Mayor
atty candidate, was one of the earliest to
put in an appearance. He was up and
about before eight o'clock. Mayor Pagan
was not around until later in the day.
and William Schell, the Republican
Mayoralty candidate, was not visible at
all.
The polls will close at seven o'clock
this evening.

Much excitement and comment. were
occasioned among the members of the
Bergen Reformed Church several weeks
ago when it leaked out that the young
ladies of the church were to give a min

to use a preparation of burnt cork on
their fair faces, but this enterprise was
abandoned when comments were made by
the church members.
However, the young people are not to
be deferred from giving an entertainment
although their original project was de-
ferred for several weeks. This evening an
entertainment consisting of series Of
