A PALEOLITHIC LIE.


The Queer Story of the Fossil Rem aims of
Queer Reptile and Queer Man.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, April IS, 1ss9.-A
strange discovery was made yesterday by
a citizen in the northwestern district of
this county.
Having occasion to sink awell, Mr. Som
mes selected a spot in a valley near a
ravine of great length, land which, during
heavy rains is transformed into raging
torrent, depositing in the valley limestone,
gravel, mud and other debris
After reaching depth of four feet and
while in a formation of limestone gravel
that had been found almost uninterrupt-
edly from the surface down, Sommes
came upon the vertebrae and ribs OF an
animal.
The ribs were about the size of small
pigs, and rapidly tapered Carefully un-
earthing the bones toward the tapering end
Sommes came to rattles, which, when
counted, numbered seventeen, the largest
measuring six inches across. Attracted
by the strange find the neighbors gathered
and the work of unearthing the monster
was prosecuted with vigor.
Laying bare nineteen feet of the mon
ster Of other times, they found the entire
skeleton of a man of tremendous stature
in the stomach of the snake.
The remains of the man and serpent, so
far as the serpent has been exhumed, are
as perfect as when first denuded of flesh
and were doubtless covered by lime and
gravel soon after death.
Near the bones of the dead mans right
hand was a rude stone hatchet, which a
local geologist of some repute states to be
similar to the handiwork of the paleo-
lithic man.

Middlesex members, Cutter, Herbert and
Kane, led the opposition to it on the
ground that it would take business and
people out of New Jersey into New York.
Mr.. Hamilton, of Staten Island, whose
pet hobby the bridges are, listened
attentively to the debate, his hand at his
ear, and his old fashioned silk hat filled
with documents, proving the immense
advantage of the bill to everybody He
looks like DR.. Howard Crosby Several
members voted for the bill to oblige the
Speaker, but when it became apparent
that the needed thirty-one could not be
obtained by two, there was a rush to
change to the negative and the bridges
had only thirteen friends left at the
finish
The following Senate bills were shunted
on toward the Governors room among
others:--Authorizing cities to establish
fire limits within which frame buildings
may not be erected; exempting volunteer
firemen from taxation on $500 worth of
property; providing for the erection of fire
escapes on all factories where more than
ten persons are employed; requiring cable,
electric and horse railroads to make an
nual reports.
The House bill, authorizing the Gov
ernor to reject any or all bids for the pub
lie printing, was passed.
A resolution offered by Mr.. O'Neill ap-
propriating 500 to Reading Clerk James
e. Connolly for indexing the docket of the
House was passed. 1t was also resolved
to pay 500 to Clerk Matthews for prepar-
ing an index to the minutes.
Mr.. Voorhees, introduced bill author
izing the Riparian Commissioners to ex-
tend the line for solid filing between
Cavan's Point and Constable Hook out to
the twenty foot or deep water line. This
would take in the Pennsylvania Rail
roads recent big purchases.

WAS SHE SET ON FIRE 2

Strange Suspicious Abroad Regarding the
Destruction of the New Brunswick.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials ar Q
very reticent when questioned as to the
cause of yesterdays fire on the ferry boat,
New Brunswick. 1t has leaked out, how
ever, that there is suspicion in their
minds that a sire bug" was lurking
somewhere about the boat yesterday and
that the cause of the fire was incendiarism
and not accident.
1t will be remembered that some three
years or SO ago fire occurred on board
the ferryboat Chicago that was directly
traced to the presence of some chemical
preparation that had been placed under
the seats in the ladies' cabin of that boat.
AS it now appears, passenger on the
New Brunswick yesterday, told Superin-
tendent johannesburg that Immediately
after the alarm of fire he rushed to the en-
gine room door and could distinctly smell
he fumes of some drug or chemical.
This may on may not be SO, but at the
same time the whole affair remains
shrouded in mystery which the officials
are now quietly and secretly inyestigat-
ing.

IT RESTS WITH WYoKOFF.
That Is What Is the Matter with the
Harrison-Kearney Consolidation.

That Is What Is the Matter with the
Harrison-Kearney Consolidation.
Especial to the Jersey City Neacsl
TRENTON, April II, 1889. Senator
Wyckoff bolted the Democratic caucus
today on the Harrison -Kearney consolida-
tion bill, and Farrell's hopes were blasted
again.
They have met this treatment so often
that he is getting used to it, although he
VOWS he would not undertake
to Trenton n fifty years. When
Senator Edwards called the bill up
Mr.. Wyckoff asked to have it laid over
till tomorrow This would have been too
much like killing it by delay, and when
the request was denied, Mr.. Wyckoff
started to catch his train.
Senator Edwards explained the meas
ure and Mr.. Farrells deep solicitude
about it, and Senator Martin opposed it,,
Saying that it did not provide how the
vote Should be counted at elections or for
settlement of the debt of the two COM
munities.
During the roll call Wyckoff came
back, having lost his train, and voted
against it with the republicans. Senators
Edwards and Mallon changed their votes
to move q reconsideration.
Thus the consolidation rests chiefly on
the will of Mr. Wyckoff.
The democratic Senators held a caucus
in the evening at which Mr.. Wyckoff was
reproached for bolting.
1t is understood that he declared that
the bill was so imperfect that the
Governor would not sign it. Therefore,
he argued, that it made no difference
whether or not he voted for it, This
argument not suiting his colleagues, he
left the room

The Controlling Faction in
the Board Held Its Cau-
Gus Last Evening.
TRYING TO QUASH INDICTMENTS.
Four Members Of the Board Go To
Inspect Some Contract Work at
Snake Hill.

Ex-Judge Garretson this morning made
motion before Judge Lippincott to
quash the indictments against the Board
OF Works Commissioners. He said there
were five indictments in all, two against
one member, and one each against the
three other indicted members.
He based his motion on the ground that
the Sheriff had not made a proper re-
turn of the Grand Jury, and that the re-
turn had been made to the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions instead of to the Court of
Oyer and Terminer.
He claimed that in order to make good a
return of a Grand Jury to the Quarter
Sessions, a precept must have been issued,
which, in this case was not done, and that
the only court where return can be made
without the issue of precept is the Oyer
and Terminer
He stated that had precept been
served the return would have been legal .
District Attorney Winfield in reply
merely produced the records from the
County Clerks office and showed by it
that the Grand Jury had been in the
Court of Oyer and Ternniner, was sworn
there and presented indictments.
This he considered a sufficient return,
but Judge Garretson argued that formal
return should have been made
THE MOTION TO oUAsH DENIED.
Judge Lippincott said that the objec-
tions were very much like those raised in
the case of Freeholder Hennessey. and in
view of the opinion he delivered in that
case, he felt constrained to deny the mo-
tion to quash the Indictment.
He said the Court was in doubt in
rendering the decision, but he thought it
was better to accept the present oppor-
tunity to have q rule of law on the sub
ject.
A caucus was held last night at Lem
mertz's Hall by the controlling faction of
the Board of Freeholders The object was
to arrange for the distribution of patron
age.
The meeting was secret one, but it has
been ascertained that those present con-
cluded to reappoint Dr. King to the Asy-
lum, Warden Regan to the Aims House,
Andy Manning to the same institution,
Colonel Grimes to the Penitentiary and
all the present matrons and heads of de-
partments
1t is said that the Board cannot dismiss
pointing him, because he was appointed
for specified time.
THE REASON UNDER IT.
The purpose of dismissing these people,
and reappointing is, as THE JERSEY CRY
NEWS stated several days ago, to get rid
of some men Objectionable to the Board
The Wardens will be asked how many
men can be dispensed with, and
the Objectionable ones will go and then
the Freeholders will claim credit for econ
omy. 1t is expected that the changes will
be made today, but they may be deferred
until May.
Snake Hill had the honor of visit from
four members of the Board of Freeholders
this morning, the object of which was to
inspect certain work which, it is said,
has been done in an unsatisfactory man
ner. The bills for this work will be con-
sidered today, and it is quite possible that
they may be laid on the table.

THE NEWSPAPER TRUSTS

IrTOW Me 1sStcuFH JOWTNut
The great dailies of New York city
have from time to time had much to
say in condemnation of those com
binations in trade known as trusts
but disapproval of this form of inn
position on the public has not pre-
vented them from organizing and
carrying out comprehensive trust of
their own to increase prices for their
Sunday editions
Yesterday the price of all the Sun
day newspapers in. New York, with
one or two exceptions, were stimuli
taneously advanced to five cents, and
this is the second advance in the price
of these publications in a year, MAX
ing a total advance of 66S per cent.
To justify this there has been no in
crease in the cost of white paper and
none in the price paid to labor. Every
dollar of the increase goes to the pub
fishers, who were making large profits
even when the papers sold at three
cents per copy. The World claims
circulation of about 375, 900 copies on
Sunday. The increase from three cents
to five cents gives an increased profit
to the publisher on the Sunday edition
of $390,000 year.
Is it any wonder that the New York
dailies can erect palaces for publ ca
tion offices with profits like tn ese
wrung from the public by combina-
ton? And wherein does the extortion
practiced by these New York newspa-
pers differ from that of the sugar trust
and Standard Oil monopoly? News
papers have become daily necessities.
They enter into the daily life of the
people as much as anything else that
belongs to the category of necessities.
The public can find no protection in
competition, for the newspapers that
have joined in this trust have an abso-
lutte monopoly OF their field. No new
competitor can purchase franchise in
the Associated Press, which controls
all the avenues of intelligence covered
by the Western Union Telegraph
Company, and the distributing
agencies in and out of New York are
also under the control of the confeder-
ated newspapers.
1t is melancholy to see the rapacious
spirit of greed thus seize upon the
great dailies of the metropolis and
array them with the trusts and other
combinations of trade that are clutch
ing at the throat of the American
puplic, and stealing the peoples
substance. Having arbitrarily in
creased the price of the Sunday
edition 66s per cent, the next step
of the trust will naturally be to raise
the price of the daily. Extortion pro-
ceeds by degrees. But profit will be
had at the expense of the trust news
papers Their opinions will no longer
carry weight in public questions.
People will have to look to the ''pro-
yincialn press for an honest expression
of the public sentiment and for sin
cere, unbiased and unselfish criticism
of men and measures.

some of the Committee of One Hundred
have concluded that all Jersey City can
do is to make contract with Mr.. Bart
lett Every member of this committee
stands as he always has on this subject;
The resolution provoked considerable
discussion, during which Mr.. Ward SAID
that the cost of supplying Jersey City
with pure, wholesome water, according to
the State Commissioners estimate, was
$12 per million gallons as compared with
$40 per million gallons offered by the COM
panies.
Mr.. Murray and Mr. Booraem were op--
posed to the committees being committed
to unalterable opposition to making con-
tract with the water company.
PASS THE WATER BILLS.
Mr.. Booraem thought that the time
might come in the future when such a
curse would be the most practical, and
Mr.. Murray said that there are wise men
in Newark who have discussed this affair
and concluded that it would be better to
make a contract with the Lehigh Valley
Company, rather than trust to the poll
ticians who at present are to be found in
the State. Mr.. Ward said that the plan Of
the Commissioners provided for a Board
of Trustees, so appointed as to make the
Board State Board.
This Board would have the right to
build works and issue bonds pledging the
franchise and revenues of the water works,
for the use of which each city is to pay a
pro rata share of the expenses. These
bonds would have the nature of State
bonds and pay u low rate of interest. SO
that a city burdened like Jersey City, for
instance, would not incur an additional
Indebtedness.
The resolution was finally adopted, as
was one also by Mr.. Cole, calling upon
Senator Edwards in the name of seventy
five citizens, in meeting assembled, to Sc
cure the passage of the three bills affect
ing the water supply which, having
passed the House, now slumber some
where in the Senate

The Board of Works VIII Begin Its
Fight at an Early Hour.
The Board of Works held an adjourned
meeting this morning, and after transact
ing little routine business, adjourned
until half-past eight O'Clock Monday
morning.
Commissioner Cannon eyinced consider
able objection to this and wanted the
hour fixed at ten O'Clock, as usual, but
when it was explained to him rather sig
niticantly that additional time would be
required to transact the business which
would come before the Board he acqui-
esced in the motion.
1t is to be inferred from these proceed
ings that Mondays session will be par
ticularly interesting The terms of the
present members expire then, and the
plan as now mapped out by the new mem
bers is to organize and stick until ousted
by a higher authority.
The Board of Finance and Taxation was
requested to appropriate $500, in accord
ance with the recent act of the Legfsla-
ture, for work on streets paved with cob

rifth verdict in the Losel case.

The jury in the case of Thomas Rehill
against Albert Losel rendered verdict
last night. The plaintiff was awarded
81 200, with interest from December 20,
1884, This verdict concluded the fifth
trial of this case, the first being tried in
October, 1895.
The result of the first case was verdict
for SLAP rendered by Referee. Six
months later the case came before a jury
and the award was set aside. The follow
ing September new trial took
place, but was not finished, for
at the suggestion of the Court
the plaintiffs case was withdrawn
and removed to the Court of Chaneery to
have the contract reformed" The trial
just completed lasted six days, and was
brought, under the mechanics lien law,
for labor done in the erection of build
ing on the corner of Erie and Seventh
streets.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April IS, 1S89.-While
Pittsburg and Lake Erie passenger train
No. IS was passing over q broken switch
near Coraopolis, last night, the baggage
car left the track and was thrown twenty
feet into mud bank over the ditch on
one side of the track.
The engine went into the ditch.
The engineer and fireman were thrown
off, and the latter badly cut about the
head. He fell near the tender, and the
water rushing out of the tank would have
drowned him, but the engineer, though
badly shocked, staggered to his rescue and
pulled the fireman away.
The smoker contained seventeen men in
it and fell down into the ditch.
The stoves rolled into the aisle and the
lamps were extinguished. One passenger
got an axe from the rack, and in attempt
ing to smash window to get OUT the axe
backward and was knocked from his
hand
1t fell on James Lear's foot and
smashed several of his toes.
The next coach remained on the track,
but the ladies' car ran into the ditch. A
number of passengers were slightly hurt.
