The train that leaves the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot at four o'clock Monday
afternoon caFries an enormous delegation
sf statesmen bound for the Monday eyen-
ing session of the Legislature at Trenton.
Last Monday afternoon when the tram
started out. the smoking car was SO packed
that crowds were forced to stand. Assem-
blyman Mcdonald was one of these. A
tall, heavy, thick-set man arose from a seat
near the door to take of his oyercoat. He
was little drunk and the pitching of the
train made HIM dcubly unsteady on his
fe t., and Ia the natural course of events
he stood on Mr.. McDonald's toes.
ssWhat the - r you doing ?" asked the
Assemblyman in indignation.
ssWhat in - 8 the matter with you ?"
asked the heavy stranger, with menacing
slowness.

turned the Assemblyman.
Your oorns be Id" coarsely re-
turned the other. 'sWhat the do you
suppose John L. Sullivan cares for your
corns
The slim-built Assemblyman looked at
him from head to foot and was satisfied
that he was in contact with the great
slugger.
'sOh beg your pardon r. exclaimed
the Assemblyman, with the most gracious
urbanity.
Subsequently Slugger Sullivan's friends
made up their minds that he was too big a
fellow to be in an ordinary smoking car,
and they led him back to the parlor car
He was ushered into thesmoking apartment
where congregation Of smoking Senator'S
Brinkerhoff among the number-sat. He
drew out handful of cigars.
"Take one, he said imperatively, as he
handed them Ground.
They all declined.
Damn it. take a cigar" he commanded,
s'or John Il. Sullivan, who can lick any
man in the void, will make you"
Then they all made break for the cigars,
and chorus of sweetest voiced
Thanks you's,

The cigars were all as strong as Sullivan
himself, but no one dared not to smoke,
and Sullivan was happy. He was on his
way to Philadelphia.

THREE FINGERS LOST
How VIII Hon. Terry DNIconnid Measure
His Nhiskey Nows

How VIII Hon. Terry DlIconaid Measure
His Nhiskey MOVIE
Hon. Terence J. Mcdonald, member of
Assembly from the seventh district, walked
into Police Stilsing's court yesterday morn
ing with his right hand in sling. He
said that three of his fingers had been
broken. and this is how it happened.
Contrary to his usual custom, of course,
the Hon. Terry stepped into a saloon,
Friday night. It was O'Grady's, on Bay
and Grove streets. There he met q Mr..
Reilly-not the Reilly who keeps the
hotel, but another Reilly who carries
q whiskey still around under his vest /;
and this man Reilly, he wanted two
dollars from the Hon. Terry. 1t isn't quite
clear whether he wanted it for loan or to
square up an account he had against the
Hon. Terry, but it is clear that he wanted
it for whiskey. The Hon. Terry instead of
going down into his pocket for the 81, went
out of the door, and was about to board a
passing car, when, whack he saw stars
somebody had hit him in the face. As soon
as the stars had twinkled out of his vision,
the Hon. Terry said that the somebody was
the aforesaid Mr. Reilly. The Hon. Terry
lifted his foot and pushed him into the
gutter; but the aforesaid Mr. REILLY climbed
quickly to his feet and made again for the
Hon. Terry. He had his foot up and some
how or other the Hon. Terry's right hand
came in contact with it. When Terry had
time. after laying Mr.. Rielly out, to take
account Of damages, he discovered that
Mr.. Rielly's foot had broken three of his
Angers. Which is why Mr.. REILLY was at
the bar of Justice Stilsing's court yester-
day morning. With the Hon. Terry facing
him as his accuser. he was committed for
triaI--pot the Hon. Terry but Mr.. REILLY

man named Hughes, to whose so-called cure
Pasteur attached special importance. A

The investigation of the Broadway Railroad
franchise was continued this morning, and
Mr.. Abe" Disbeckea arose and announced
that he was present aud prepared to be

sisted mostly of reassertion of his testi-

regard to the celebrated meeting of the
Board of Aldermen, and the prior removal
of the injunction, did not vary from the
general statements of other Witnesses and

Jersey City Fire Department have lately
put some needed improvements upon the
old bnilding. The original building was of
wood, and had been used first, as a yolun-
teer fire house, and later by the city
During the past year the department has
erected new brick structure in front of
the old one; thus making the new building
large and quite ample. The entire ground
floor is used as stable for the three
horses, and gives house room to the truck
and the chemical engine The second
floor is divided into three apartments, the
front room serving as parlor and bedroom
for the four men who are constantly on
duty there; the centre room is large, and
makes a respectable dance room. The rear
room is the kitchen. The city furnished
only the four iron bedsteads, and the me-
cessary clothing the members of the
company went around among the resi-
dents of the vicinity on collecting tour,
which proved successful. The proceeds
have been expended in the purchase of
four black walnut bedsteads and four
walnut closets. in whish the men keep
their clothing. The floor is nicely car
peted, which gives the room not oily q
neat appearance, but very homelike as
well. The company concluded to formally
open their new home, last Thursday even
ing, by rendering a supper to their friends,
as mark of gratitude for their kind eff
forts in aiding them to secure the furni-
ture. The supper was elegant and largely
attended. Among the guests were Fire

Something About the Lawyers who viii Act
for the House.

THENToN, March 10 Special The Sem
ate has directed Keeper Laverty to appear
at Its Bar on Tuesday and plead to the
charges Of high crimes and misdsmeanors
that the House of Assembly has lodged
against him. It was the original intention
to have commenced the taking of testimony
on Wednesday, bit the delay in the pre-
sentation of the Articles of Impeachment
will probably throw the actual commence
ment of the trial over to Monday or
Tuesday OF next week. The House Board
OF Managers consists of four Repub-
licans and but one Democrat. Bes-
son. OF your county, was to have been the
second Democrat, but he declined. and
some supercilious Assemblyman moved
that the Speaker be appointed in his place
It is known that Speaker Armstrong has
been itching to be made one of the Board.
and it is broadly minated that Besson was
picked out for service on the Board, with
the full knowledge that he would decline.
and the design Of running Armstrong in
his stead. Armstrong viii be- the noisest
and the busiest man among the House
managers even If he is the youngest. Mr..
Parker, however, has been selected as tie
President of the Board, with Mr..
Hangover as Secretary. All the
members of the Board Of Managers are
lawyers that Is they have been admitted
to practice in the courts; but none Of
them has had any experience of any account
in the conduct of criminal trials. Parker
is the ablest of the lot, and it must be ad-
mitted that good deal of ability walks
hand in hand with his conceit--but his
practice has been confined to civil cases.
he has been at the bar sixteen years, and
Is now As years of age. Armstrong and
Throckmorton have been practi ling only
SIX years, Hutchinson only seven. They
are all unusually young men. Gangewer
is Philadelphia lawyer, but his practice
has been confined entirely to Patent cases.
fhrockmorton and Hutchinson are gradu-
ates of Princeton. Hutchinson was second
prize man for the Senior grafton at the
time of his graduation. He afterward
studied law in the Office of VIM. H. Yre-

on an 4tinernnt Intruder.
Some of the Newark avenue tradesmen
were excited and annoyed when they read
in last sundays TATrIER that q strange
concern was about to import a stock Of
clothing into the city, and pitch a business
tent temporarily in Becker's old building.
next to the City Hall. The stranger Ind
fixed upon Thursday as the day for his
opening, and the clothing men put their
heads together in an endeavor to devise
scheme to prevent him from opening.
Finally keen-witted man struck an
act OF last winter that fitted the
ease. The act provides that "when-
ever any person. firm or corpora
ton shall subsequently to the completion
Of the annual SITUATION and assessment for
local taxes IN any taxing district, bring or
send into such taxing district any stock of
goods or merchandise to be sold or dis
posed Of ia place of business temporarily
occupied for their sale without the inten-
ton OF engaging in permanent trade, in
such place, the owner, consignee, or per-
sonaln charge shall notify the Tax Asses
scr, who shall appraise the stock and inn
pose the full local tax upon it. It de-
clares further that it shall be unlawful for
such owner to make sale till he has paid
the amount of his tax bill to the Collector.
The penalty for failure, in the perform
ance of the act is forfeiture of twice the
amount of the tax.
The stranger came into town with large
stock, such as it was, and the local mer-
chants chuckled over the prospect of see-
ing him retire from the market rather than
pay the tax. He had scarcely opened the
doors of his store before Assessor O'Neill
thrust his nose in, made valuation, and
showed a tax bill into the intruding trades
mans hand.
''Je Willicken," he gasped, as he looked
at the bill, 'sS146-fcr what2"
Your taxes to the city" responded the
Assessor.
The stranger bolted out to inquire OF the
City Collector about that. Mr.. Love hadn't
heard of the law. And of Chief Mu-phy;
he hadn't heard of it. But both had to ad-
init that it was on the statute books and to
recommend obedience to It's mandate. The
stranger plunged his hand into his pocket
with long face, counted out the green
backs with a longer one, and paid up
with heavy sigh. He Will fight shy Of
Jersey City, and the State, too, in the
future, for the law is State law,
The episode has called the attention of
the local tradesmen to the frequency of
these lncursions of outside itinerant adyen-
turers into this market. They feel that the
home industries are entitled to protection
at the hands of the city authonti s, and
yesterday petitions were circulated asking
the Aldermen to pass an ordinance calcu-
lated to keep them away. Every business
man on the avenue cLeerfully put bis name
to the PETITIONS.

THE MURDARED BABE.


It's Murderer.
The body of the beautiful year old boy,
that was thrown into florist Van Reiper's
garden, on sipp avenue, last Monday night
to die, has not yet been identified. At the
Morgue, Louis Hecht says that no stran-
gers have called to look at it. The Police
of the SECOND Precinct struck clue last
evening that may afford clue. John
German, engaged at the Baker Il Brothers
castor oil factory on Washington and Bay
says that he was waiting for friend late
Tuesday night in the Pennsylvania Rail-
road depot, when man and woman
walked in. The woman had baby in her
arms the man carried satchel. The
woman sat down to rest. The man retired
TO the toilet room, and German went in at
about the same time. He heard tie man
muttering to himself, but he could
not distinguish what he was saying.
The couple interested German, and
he watched them. They went out
presently. The woman boarded blue car
bound for the Hill, but the man kept TO the
sidewalk, till the car had got little way
up the street, Then he ran after it and
jumped oH German says he would be able
to identity the couple. The babe was with
out clothing, and the satchel was doubtless
to carr, back its clothing.

he had got into the hands of a sharper,
kept his eyes on all the avenues of exit.
The basement door was hole the fellow
might get out through, and the boy
watched it through the front door, which
he held ajar. Presently he saw the bundle
fall from Q secpnd-story window into the
areaway. He made dive for it, and ran
back to the store with it. II is not
known how the thief got into the house,
or how he escaped. The police are look
