NEW DEPOT OPEN
Remarkable Work by the
P. R. R. at the Ferry
Handsome Lobby.

An excellent illustration of the re-
sources of a great corporation is seen at
the new depot of the p. r. r. Only on
Saturday the waiting rooms were lit
tered with barrels of cement and plaster,
piles of lumber and scaffolding were on
all sides, and dirt and dust were every
where. But-as if magician had waved
his wand-the waiting room and restaur-
ant were ready for the public yesterday
and all was cosmos where few hours
before chaos reigned.
The feature of the new building, and
which when fully completed, will be the
finest of its kind in the United States,
is the general lobby running from the
Brooklyn Annex to the trains. 1t is
noble passageway, $50 feet long, about
75 feet wide, and nearly 100 feet high, de-
corated in white stucco and having grace
full columns and quaint loaded window
panes. When the extension of the pres
ent shed is finished, increasing 1t to 100
feet the lobby will terminate at the
trains.
The restaurant proper is not completed,
because until the general waiting room is
ready half of the dining room space is
used for the passengers. In few days
the entire room will be utilized as a dining
room The barber shop at the south end
of the building is nearly finished, as IS
also the ladies' retiring rooms.
This morning workmen are tearing OH
the roof of the restaurant to make way
for the addition to the trainshed. In about
two months the engineers hope to have
everything finished and then Jersey City
may justly feel stuck up about its
handsome depot.

PALMA CLUBS STAG.
Good Programme Given the Members
Saturday Night.

The Palma Clubs stag last Saturday
night was one of the best seen in this city
in long time, and the crowd that focked
to tlt handsome club house on Jersey
avenue was one of the largest ever seen
on the floor, where the theatre is stu
ated. The programme consisted of pro-
fessional talent entirely, and the COM
mittee who had secured their services re-
ceived praise from the members for get
ting such a good lot of entertainers
Miss Jennie Yeamans, an old favorite
in this city, made great hit in her
usual monologue. Billy. Carter, the ban
joist and monologue artist, was first class
Sisters. in their speciality as mirror
dancers were a very clever pair. Little
Eva the child wonder, was also very en-
tertaining and received her share of the
applause The programme closed with
Turner and Turner, who, as aerobats,
were very good.

of Chancery--Too Much

Vice Chancellor Emery in the Law LII
brary this morning heard testimony in
the suit for divorce brought by Mrs
Annie O'Connell against her husband,

cruelty and deser.ion.
O'Connell was brought from the County
Jail in the custody of Constable Egan.
He was sent there in November last fol

His brother-in-law, Bernard Kennedy

at Fourth street, and on Christmas Eve
two years ago they had a party. Whether
it was the mixed ale or wh-skey, or both,
O'Connell broke up the festivities and
proceeded to throw the furniture out OF
the windows. A policeman stopped the
hailstorm of beds, chairs, tables and
dishes, and rescued the baby, or it would
have gone after the furniture.
s.You don't like your brother-in-law?

Kraft STILL INDIGNANT
Ssys Intrigue in the Improve
ment Association Turned
Him Down.

Frederick Kraft, who as President of
the Hudson City Improvement Associa-
tion resigned his office and membership
and left the meeting of the association on
Friday night in highly indignant mood
during discussion as to who should rep
resent the association at the opening of
No. 26 School, was asked yesterday by a
reporter for 1.-THE News" if he had any
thing further to say beyond his utterances
as he left the meeting room.
On that occasion Mr.. Kraft said he was
tired of being continually slapped in the
face (figuratively speaking) by certain
members of the association. He repre-
sented the association at the laying of the
new school buildings corner stone, and
has usually as President been selected on
similar occasions.
Mr.. Kraft was 10th to be interviewed
upon the subject. He said he preferred
not to say anything further at present
upon the subject except to admit that he
was indignant at "the manifestation OF
evident intrigue during the discussion.
He said he did not act hastily; that he
knew before he went to the meeting that
the matter of naming some one else to
represent the association at the school
fused to discuss his future attitude toward
the association.
It is recalled that Mr. Kraft, who holds
decided Socialistic views, and ran Ior
office on the Socials c-Labor ticket last
spring, remarked in the course OF MS
address a the cornerstone laying that
neither the city officials nor the improve
ment Association was entitled to all the
credit of the rearing of the building, but
that all as citizens. had done their whole
duty.
Mr. Kraft intimated, yesterday, that
this had given offense to certain officials
and he had reason to believe that an
of the association, to crush him in con-
nection with the opening OF the schooi;
He said that it was not that he cared
so much for the honor of representing
the association, but the manifestation OF
evident intrigue on the part OF certain
He said he was perfectly Wiling that
some one else should have the honor
1t is recalled also that William kasten-
huber, who as president of the Hudson
City Business Mems Association has
been selected to represent that organfza-
tion at the opening of the new school,
was one of the first to suggest some one
else other than Mr.. Kraft to represent
the Improvement Association.
Mr. Kraft was asked If this had any
thing to do with exciting his Indignation.
He said he did not wish to discuss the
subject any further.
Vice President Muir, who, as chairman
of the School Committee, was chosen to
make the address at the school opening,
wrote a personal note to Mr.. krant,
Krafft's resignation and expressing, the
hope that he would reconsider his deter
mination. Mr. Kraft refused to discuss
this matter.

He also said that the dissenting faction
was very small and that the trouble did
not bother him. Further than that he
would not refer to the controversy in
any of his sermons.
Mr.. Josephus Plenty, the junior warden,
was inclined to think that the actions ct
his rector were not so bad as the majority
of the people think. He said

tiously and according to his own way OF Of
way of thinking had been anything but
beneficial to the church. He said he be-
lieved in confession. When asked if he
went he replied
'Oh, no."
The only thing he objected to, he said,
was the books which were distributed
during the mission. Further, that It did

a woman member said that there would
be more designations after the meeting OF
the vestry, which takes place shortly af-
ter Easter
.It is purely woman's church now, y
she said. There is not a man in the
church who agrees with him, and it's a
pity that the vestry cannot kick him out
My children will never go to that church
again. The idea of having any young
people confess to that man, is too terrible
to think Of Mr.. Elmendorf said that ths
mission was held for young people, and
that he did not want the parents there;
In this manner he said he could mould
the minds of the young people to suit him
This talk of the church being prosperous

flies who refuse to attend services now.
"Those who refuse to talk are the ones
