Sunday School Scholars of Our
SaviOrS Danish Lutheran
Church Celebrate.
BIC CHRISTMAS TREE

Our Saviour's Danish Lutheran
church, on State street, was crowded
with happy, eager little children and
their parents last night, who came to
attend the Christmas tree celebration
For weeks the little ones have been
looking forward to this event, and last
night at 7.30, when the church doors
were opened, the children were wait
ing.
The first part of the evening was
passed with recitations and songs by
the children, who, from the way they
took their parts, were credit to their
instructors and the pastor, Rev. Skoy.
In the forward part of the church a
huge Christmas tree had been placed,
and this was loaded down with pres
ents of all sorts for the little ones.
After the entertainment was over the
Sunday school teachers of the differ
ent classes, commencing with the
Bible class, gave out the presents.
Each pupil received q gift of some
sort while the smaller ones were given
box of candy, oranges, nuts, etc.
Before the parents took the little ones
home, the Ladies Aid Society of the
church announced that table had
been set in the basement of the church
and here coffee and cake were served.
Tho church was beautifully decor
ated with Christmas green's, which
were draped from theF ceiling down
the size walls. The program closed
about 9. 30 o'clock.

Dredger at Work at the Foot Of
Washington Street Finds
Relic.
PIECES OF OLD HULL.

At the foot of Washington street the
Standard Underground Gable Works
has big dredge at work digging out
a slip at that place. All day yester-
day two men from New York were
present and watched the dredge at
work.
/ Once in while the digger would
bring up piece of hull of an old boat
which seemed to excite the men S
curiosity. Where the work is being
done the old Caledonia is supposed to
be buried, about which so much was
written a few years ago. Who the
two men were and what they intended
to do with the old pieces of the hull
which. they took away with them yes
terday is not known, but it is thought
that they are in the employ of some
New York Society, who desire to
have pieces of what they think is the
old Caledonia.
Only few of the Perth Amboy
people think much of the matter now,
but some time ago, when W. B. Pratt
said that the Caledonia Society of
New York had offered a reward of
$40, 900 for the finding of the remains
of the old boat, there were many con-
lectures as to where the hull lies.
Old residents tell different stories
about it. Many remember the re-
mains of an ola vessel near tine foot of
Washington street which disappeared
years ago, but some claim this was
not the Caledonia.

Lively Time Anticipated at the Caucus to be Held
Before the Council Meeting Tonight When the
Commissioners Will be Named
SOME OF THE NAMES THAT ARE MENTIONED

Who will be the members of the
newly created board of water commits
sioners? There are five of them to be
appointed by. the Board of Alder
men at its last meeting, which is to
be held tonight.
Many minds have been agitated for
the last few days in an endeavor to
form satisfactory answer to the
above question and yet no one seems
to be able to give one At least even
If there be any wise folks around
town who know or think they know,
anything about the matter, they will
not say so. That there Is a lively
scrap on there is no denial and con-
ferences and interchanges of visits
between the different aldermen have
been frequent the past week. In these
little "talks" the Mayor takes con
siderable part. 1t Is understood he
has a slate he wants to have put
through, and, it was said this morn
ing, 1t would look as if the Mayor
would win. So bitter is the struggle
that there are rumors of a split at the
caucus tonight at which the commits
sioners will be chosen. This even
goes so far as to declare that some of
the aldermen may walk out and there
by tie up the whole matter. When
questioned about this, however, it
was said that such an extreme would
not be reached. The caucus promises
to be q warm one.
A News reporter has made general
canvas among some of the men who
are posted in municipal affairs and,
after boiling down and sitting out the
accumulation Of replies which were
received, the following list of hust-
ling eligibles who are being pushed
for places on the board has been got.

field the five who are said to be on
Mayor Seanan's slate are. Adam
Eckert, Patrick Campbell, William D.

that this slate would probably go

CITY APPOINTMENTS.
Democrats Still Havel Majority in the Board Of
Aldermen and Present Office Holders Will All
be Renamed.

The first meeting of the new Board
of Aldermen will be held on the reg
uIar meeting night, Monday, January
