CUSICK FOR
SHORT STOP.
MariOns Sign Famous HOhOken
Player For The Season
Here.
is A GREAT PLAYER.
MarlOns Are Getting Ready For Great
Sport This Year Declared They Had
Winner Up Their Sleeve And May
Have Another For Third Base Fans
Are Enthusiastic Over The Prospect.

By far the most sensational an
nouncement that has thus far emanat-
ed from the Marion management came
this morning when Manager Calvin
made public the fact that he had sign
cd Jack" Cusick, the star infielder
OF the Hoboken team, to play at short
with the Marions this season. The
news of the acquisition of Cusick will
prove joyful surprise to the fans,
who, while they had an inkling that
the management had big card up
their sleeves, nevertheless had no
idea that such a crackerjack player
could be secured.
1t can be said without question that
Cusick is the best semi professional
shortstop in the vicinity of New York.
In hitting and fielding he possesses
ability that ranks him far and away
above all other players of the position
hereabouts. He is a sure sticker and
timely one, his ability to WELD the
ash when men are on bases making
him a terror to opposing pitchers.
His work at short is capable of bsing
classed as phenomenal because of the
ease and accuracy with which he fields
balls that are knocked his way. He
covers great lot of ground and is on
that account of great assistance to
the pitcher. He is feet baserunnel
and the equal of Hickey as a run
getter.
Last year Cusick was seen here sew.
eral times with Orange and conse.
quently his worth to the Marions is
easily recognized by the fans. He
has already played several games this
season with the crack Hoboken team,
of which he is the star, and will be
in fine shape for the opening game
here.
Cusick IS coming will be hailed with
delight by all baseball enthusiasts be-
cause it makes good the promise set
forth in the Evening News that the
best men in the business were being
secured for short and third. The
announcement of the player for the
latter position will be made in a few
days and will cause just as much of a
sensation as the signing of Cusick.
1t is now time for the cranks to get
in line at the box Office window and
get their season ticktes. There is nc
longer any doubt but that Perth Am.
boy is going to have oorking good
team this season.

rled in St Peters Episcopal Church
2 O'Clock, this afternoon. The cere-
mony was performed by the rector,
Rev. J. L. Lancaster.
The church was filed, many out Of
town guests being present.
The floral decorations in the church
were beautiful but very simple, the
altar alone being decorated with
Easter lilies, palms and southern
smilax. The bride, who was given
away by her father, wore beautiful
gown of peau de sole with duchess lace
and chiffon trimmings and a veil of
tulle caught up with orange blossoms.
She carried shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley. At the altar she was
met by the bridegroom and they were
married with the beautiful Episcopal
service.
Miss May Mercer, cousin of the
bride, was maid of honor. She was
dressed in beautiful gown of en-
broidered pink crepe de chine trimmed
with valenciennes lace and she carried
bouquet of bridesmaids roses. The
best man was to have been John
Henry Cornell, of New York. brother
of the groom, but he was taken i'll
suddenly and could not be present
| The ushers were Cortlandt Parker
Jr., of Newark, Herbert G. Ogden,
DIR. Albert Potter, Richard W. Meade,
William Paterson Van Wyck, of New
York, and DR.. N. Darrell Harvey, of
Providence, r. 1.
Immediately after the ceremony the

ceived by Mrs. Theodore f. Mercer,
an aunt of the bride, who was charm
ingly dressed gown of embroidered

done by Begerow & Gerlach, florists,
of Newark.

ALDERMEN DISCUSS
FIRE IMPROVEMENT.
At Committee Meeting Last Night Was Decided To Take Some
Action But Nothing Definite Was Decided UpOn-A New Company
May Be Organized And Chemical Engine Purchased

ihe improvement of the fire depart
ment was discussed at the meeting OF
the committees of the Board of Alder
men last night. 1t was definitely de-
cided to make several improvements
the exact nature of which are not
fully decided upon. The amount of
bonds to be issued is another subject
not yet determined as the aldermen
want more figures and estimates be-.
fore they take this step.
1t is very probable that Few COM
pany will be organized; chemical
engine purchased and horses be bought
for Mcclellan Hose. This is to meet
the demands of the Fire Underwriters
as nearly as possible. In the event of
horses being furnished the McClellans,
the membership of that company will
be reduced.
Nothing was definitely decided upon
at the meeting last night, but it is
pretty certain that Washington Hose
Company will have new house sit
uated on lot owned by the city. The
location has not been decided upon.
AS far as could be learned the alder
men disapprove of the purchase of a
steamer on the ground that if it YVES
put to work it would pump all the
water away from the hose companies.
AS the aldermen have not fully
made up their minds what the i'm
provements will be these plans may
yet be changed. The matter is to be
ignored no longer, however, and with
in short time Perth Amboy will
have an up-to-date department.

PARDEE BALL
BIG SUCCESS.
Hundreds of People ThrOng Wild
er Hall To Dance Last
Night.
FOR HOSPITAL BENEFIT.

The popularity of the Perth Amboy
Hospital was fully demonstrated last
night at the ball given by the en-
ployes of the @. Pardee Works in
Wilder Hall. The place was packed
with the largest crowd that has ever
entered it,
The people came early and long be-
fore the time set for the grand march
there was hardly room to move. To
the stl aims of Nelson and Morrissey's
orchestra the crowd danced until 8. 45
O'Clock when the grand march began.
This was led by William Hoy and Miss
Cordelia Hull They were followed
by about seventy-five couples. After
the grand march dancing was again
the feature until II O'Clock when the
cake walk took place.
This was the feature of the evening.
The judges were @. Seymour Dutton,
E. V. r. Sofield, Philip Gabriel, Mr..
Metzer, and M. Miller. There were
two couples in the walk which was
for prize of $40 in gold. There
we're some very clever figures made
and fhe walkers won plenty of
applause. The judges awarded the
prize to Hugh McArdle and Miss
Rachel Jago.
At the last Pardee ball McArdle
was also the lucky winner of the cake
walk. At IL O'Clock grand supper
was served in Closson Is restaurant.
The pretty badges worn by the com
mittee attracted great deal of atten-
tion. They consisted of two steel
bars attached to ribbon which was
clasped to pin also of steel. Suspend
ed from the lower bar by thin wire
was small piece of tile with the
date of the Pardee ball on it, The
badges we're made by James MoCabe
and all the material used came from
the works of the @. Pardee plant.
Early this morning the last of the
crowd left the hall, and when the
money taken in last night is turned
over to the hospital authorities. it
will add neat sum to the treasury.
The floor manager was William H.
Hoy assisted by John F. Rickwood,
while the committee of arrangements
consisted of the following: F. H.
Walker, J. F. Rickwood, J. w.
Maokey, W. B. Addison, W. H. Hoy,
