New York, 1895
Jamaica Brevities.
The second floor of the old Trustees Hall on Union avenue is to be fitted up for a meeting room for the village fathers.
At a meeting of the Chub Club Thursday evening the following officers were elected: President, John H. Eldert; vice president, William E. Everitt; secretary, Samuel Burger; treasurer, Henry M. Haviland.
A fire occurred in the house occupied by Benjamin Clark on the Rockaway road, Jamaica, on Monday morning. The origin of the fire, which was on the first floor, is a mystery as the family were not home at the time. The damage was trifling.
Tickets have been sold extensively for the concert of war songs to be given by the boy choir in the Town Hall on the night of Decoration Day. General admission tickets may he exchanged at Peck's Hall of Pharmacy for reserved seats. Rehearsals are held in the hall every week. Francis Wilson has lent for use at this concert the score of one of his songs, and one of the costumes used by him in "The Devil's Deputy."
