TRlCKED BY BRIDE AND GROOM
Guests Couldn't Find Young Couple
to Serenade Them.
Especial to ''The Jersey city News

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News."l
FREEHOLD, Feb. 25, 1S01.-The society
people of Freehold have not yet got
through laughing over the clever way Mr.
and Mrs. William T. Buck tricked their
wedding guests who travelled thirteen
miles by train for the purpose of giving
them a serenade while the bridal couple
was miles away on Pennsylvania Rail
road train en- route to Philadelphia.
The guests included number of young
women prominent in society throughout
New Jersey They planned a serenade for
the bridal couple and soon after the bride
and groom left the house they rushed to
the Central Railroad station and purchase
ed tickets for Matawan. the terminal of
the road, thirteen miles away, suspeeting
that Mr.. and Mrs. Buck would board the
train at some of the small stations on
the way. hoping thus to avoid the hail OF
rice and old shoes. Every station was
passed, but the serenaders found not
those whom they sought. The result was
they had to return to Freehold looking
very sheepish
Mr.. and Mrs. Buck had been driven to
Howell a small station below Freehold
oil the Pennsylvania Railroad, where
they took a train for Philadelphia.

EMORY DEBT RAISED.
$4,000 Subscribed Before
Yesterday and Only
S9,l5O Owed.

The congregation of the Emory Metho-
dist Church, on Belomnt avenue, sue
ceeded in entirely wiping out the mort
gage debt at the services yesterday. As
near as can be ascertained about IS, eco
was subscribed and this with sum of
$4,000 already in the fund, places the
church in an excellent position. Very
little of these funds We're raised yester-
day. The work had been done quietly for
several weeks by a committee empowered
to canvass among the congregation.
The mortgage debt was $3.50. This hung
over the church for several years. The
Rev. G. G. Vogel, who succeeded the
Rev. w. H. Hoagland last year. took up
the work in earnest with determination
to cancel the debt and build a new
church. He preached yesterday morning
and at the close of his sermon subscrip-
tions were called for. About one thous-
and dollars were raised
In the evening, Presiding Elder John r.
Wright occupied the pulpit He dwelt at
length on the Twentieth Century Move
ment and told of the success of his plans
in raising church debts. The work will
be pushed throughout this year as the
churches have until the end of the year
ot cancel all debts
Every member of the congregation was
greatly pleased over the surprising re-
suits. Pastor Vogel and his Board of
Trustees will cancel the debt from time
to time as soon as the funds subscribed
are collected. When the debt is liquidated
plans will be considered for the erection
of new home on the site adjoining the
present structure.
