A New Jersey Legislator Confesses to
Being Bribed.
TRENTON, n j., March 29.-The House
this afternoon took up the Senate bill No 1877,
relating to the Jersey City water fronts which
was recently vetoed by the Governor and
passed over his veto by the Senate Numerous
motions by opponents of the bill, with view
to obstruction, were made and. voted down I'M
til finally Mr. Shinn of Atlantic rose to a
question OF privilege and submitted an affida-
Wit to the effect that he had received $500 on
condition that he would vote for the bill and
against sustaining the Governors veto, and
stated he now had this money in his posses
sion. This produced great excitement in the
chamber and the opponents OF the bill who
had been favoring an adjournment began to
change their votes and motion to adjourn
was lost. A running debate took place on a
resolution for the appointment of committee
of FIVE to investigate the facts set forth in the
affidavit with authority to send for persons and
papers, examine witnesses and employ stem
ographer. On motion the committee was in
creased to seven and instructed to report at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning and as thus
amended the resolution was adopted and the
committee appointed
Shinn, in al. affidavit, states that the per-
son from whom he received the money is we'll
known to him; that hefirst loffered him $500,
then $500 to vote for the bill but that he( Shinn)
demanded $1,000. He was told that other
members who were voting for the bill only re-
ceived $500 except those who were engaged as
attorneys for the bill, 1t was finally agreed
to pay him $500 down and the balance in a
few days
At the investigation tonight 1t appeared that
the man who gave Shinn $500 for his vote is
Mr.. Cromer, proprietor of the Arlington
House, Cape May. He first offered Shine a
bride while the two were playing draw poker.
Other members testified they had been cor
ruptly approached in the interests OF the bill.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Only One-Half OF the Lawrence
Strikers in the City
AID PROMISED FROM BIDDEFoRD
AND OTHER PLACES.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 29.-The spinners
held meeting this evening in Father
Mathew Hall. About one hundred were pres
emit. Communications from Fall River and
Biddeford, Me-, were read announcing that the
operatives in those places were ready to con-
tribute to the support of the strikers. From
Biddeford it was learned that the operatives
there will hold q meeting Saturday evening to
take action towards forming union to support
strikers here. The meeting of the spinners was
addressed by John D. Givie, who stated that
the operatives of all the mills in the city were
quietly organizing and that already 800 had
been subscribed to support the strikers He
announced that the weavers would hold a
meeting in City Hall, Saturday evening, to
which all operatives in the city will be request
ed to attend. Collections thus far made by the
strikers amount to about 5000. Many who left
the mill unwilingly have sought work else
where and it now appears that not more than
half the original strikers remain in the city,
and the leaders of the strike are working ardu-
ousy to retain the remainder. The fact that
aid is promised from other manufacturing
cities to those who hold out, keeps them hope
full, but the corporation will never yield, and
when ready to start work will employ new
help in the place of the strikers.
