HARR1sBURc. April 20. Mr.. Capp in
the house attempted tOcut of tho trip of
the legislature 10 New York BY getting
the house 70 agree to meet Oh Monday
when it adjourned this week. He made
this motion and denounced the trip to
New York as 4 disgrace to the state and
to the legislature. Business had been
crowded together in few CLOSING days,
and IN the face Of thiscondifiOn OF affairs
ii was proposed To take = junket ID New

with, and an amendment providing

passed.

upon adjournment this week the legisla-
ture shall meet again on Thursday morn
ing. in order to attend the New York cen-
tennial.
Discussing High License.
The senate then proceeded to the cal
endar, and the consideration of the Fow
license transfer bill came up on final
passage. Mr. McAleer moved to strike
out the section which was inserted on
second reading by Mr. Cooper. and
which provided that the license should
be limited to one to every 500 persons IN
the city or county.
Mr.. Cooper said the question resolved
itself to this: For or against high license.
The good results Of the bill was OBVIOUS,
and because some judges abused the dis
cretionary powers given them by the
Legislature by granting licenses to all or
no applicants. that was no argument
against high license.
Mr.. McAleer said the present laws
were sufficient to protect the people of
the state. He said: The gentleman

AN UNWARRANTED ARREST.
A Criminal Proceeding to Collect Pay
for n RrnLen Glass

A Criminal Proceeding to Collect Pay
for q Broken Glass.
James Bowen, whose occupation is that
of driver and whose home is at No. 1876
Morgan street, was made the victim of an
entirely unjustifiable arrest last night.
Officer Gallagher took him to the Gregory
street police station at the instance of
Frank Muller, a saloon keeper at NO. 81
Newark avenue. Muller declared that
he had purposely broken a pane of glass
in his saloon window, and charge of
malicious mischief was entered up
against him and he was sent to cell in
the basement.
This morning Muller put in an appear
ance at court only to announce that
everything had been Settled all right,
Shudge" Justice Stilsing wondered
what power there was that could settle a
proceeding in his court without his
knowledge, and began to make some en-
quiries.
He learned that while Bowen was pass
ing the saloon last night he slipped, and
falling against window pane broke it.
Muller rushed out to demand pay for the
damage Bowen was not in position to
arrange the matter at once, and for the
purpose OF forcing him to settlement
Muller called Gallagher and had the
luckless man lugged off to the police
station Mr. Mpller's announcement in
court that Everything has been settled
all right, Shudgep' was pretty clear proof
to Judge Stiising's intelligence that Mr.,
Bowen had bought his way out of prison
by paying for Mr.. Muller's bloken win
dow pane.
Justice Stilsing delivered himself of a
honily on the wickedness of collecting a
bill in that way, and let Mr.. Bowen go to
his home,

The New County Committee held pro
tracted session at Roche's Hall last night
1t was secret session, of course. The
time was employed in talk, judging from
a disgusted members remark when he
came down stairs at the close of the
meeting He said;-'pm tired of coming
here and sitting until midnight to hear a
lot of chin music"
The members were interrogated. The
majority averred that nothing had been
done beyond fixing the primaries to elect
delegates to the County Convention. The
primaries will be held on Wednesday, Oc-
tober 2. 1t was rumored that they had de-
cided not to endorse ex-G x-GovernorAbbettti till
they had digested his letter of acceptance.
Several when asked whether this
was true refused to either affirm or deny
it. 1t is understood, however, that a
resolution to endorse was merely laid over
for future action. When the query was
put what the next Governors letter
could possibly contain to influence them
either one way or the other, they gave 10

A BIG STEAMER ON FIRE.

The Nashua, of the Providence Line,
burning at Her Dock.
The steamship Nashua, of the Provi-
dence Line, was discovered to be on fire
about ten o'clock this morning as she
was lying at her dock at the foot of War
ren street, New York.
The fire started in the coal bunkers on
the starboard side and was discovered by
Peter Creed, one of the coal passers. He
instantly shouted fire and in few
minutes the fire engines were en-
gagged in playing on the burning
vessel. Meantime The big tugboat
Sayre, whose captains attention
had been attracted by the
dense volume of smoke pouring out of
the Nashua, had steamed up to her, and
anchoring alongside, poured in a lively
stream. This action saved the decks of
the burning boat and prevented the fire
from spreading to the superstructure.
The fireboat and several other tugboats
soon arrived and began throwing streams
upon the boat. The firemen boarded her.
but experienced great difficulty in locat-
ing the fire III the darkness and smoke
They chopped holes in the deck and
poured tons of water into the hold. Some
of the cargo was thoroughly drenched.
At eleven o'clock the fire was pretty
well under control, though still burning.
The cause of the fire is a mystery. Chief
Engineer Smith said that the fires were
hauled after the Nashua had made her
dock. He had no explanation to offer as
to the cause.
1t was alleged that careless stoker had
kicked q lamp over. The Nashua has
been in commission about five years She
is 300 feet long and carries freight only.

FOR AN IMPOSSIBLE CRIME.
Mrs Eta Hill in Jail for Conspiring tc
Rob Her Husband


Rob Her Husband
A curious case came up in the Court of
Sessions this morning.
1t concerned the arrest of Eta NJ. Hill
and William Cayanagh at the instance of
Cornelius Hill, husband of Eta, and pro-
prietor of a hotel at Durham, where he is
well known.
He went to the office of Justice Becker,
September 10, and made an affidavit that
his wife had conspired TO rob him by hay
ing secreted Cavanagh in his house with
out his knowledge.
He claimed that his wife and CaYanagh
intended TO steal all they could and asked
Tint they be arrested This was done and
they were taken into custody and locked
up in the County Jail.
District Attorney Winfield arraigned
them and then said to the Court that in
asmuch as the law declares that a wife
cannot rob or steal from her husband she
could not conspiye to do so, aud he asked
to have the woman released on her own
recoguiZance.
Judge Lippincott surprised Mr. Win
field by refusing the request, and said
that il she was to be released it must be
by writ of habeas corpus.
The Prosecutor afterward told me that
unless the Justice of the Peace secured
that Woman's release she must remain in
jail until the Grand Jury dismisses the
case.
This is what call one way to get rid
of q wife," said the Prosecutor.

HINES GOES TO JAIL.
He VIII Have to Answer for Grave
Crime Against a Child.


Crime Against a Child.
John Hines, the young tough who is ac-
cused by little Edith Riker of having
led her astray, from the Railroad avenue
soups, was arraigned before Police
Justice Stilsing this morning. The Court
directed its enquiries especially to the
question of the girls age, which is an inn
portant element in Hines prosecution.
The Legislature, by an act passed a
year or two ago, declared that the abuse
of child less than sixteen years of age,
is constructive rape, with heavy penalty
in the form of fine or imprisonment. or
both, and it was under this act that
Justice Stilsing proceeded.
The girls mother was unable to say just
what the child's age is. She had an idea
that the girl will not be even fifteen till
her next birthday, but then she could not
say " hen her next birthday will be- She
was willing to say, however, that the
child is not yet sixteen years of age.
The girl herself said that she is not six
teen years old, but admitted that she had
once said that she was over sixteen. This,
however, she declared, she had been told
"by lady" to say. why the lady advised
her to say SO, or who the lady was, was
not made clear by the child's testimony,
but the advice was not, for all that ap-
peared i'll the case, given with reference
to this case.
For the rest Hines waived examination,
and Justice Stilsing decided to hold the
young man to await the action of the
Grand Jury, under the law already re-
feIred to.
Bail was fixed at $1,000. Hines was, OF
course, unable to furnish it, and he will
go to Jail.

HEROIC WORK ALONG THE COAST.
The Record of the Life Saving Corps IL
the Recent Storm.

The Record of the Life Saving Corps In
the Recent Storm.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 21, 1889. The
most heroic chapter in the history of the
Life Saving Service will be the record of
the life savers during the recent storm
along the Atlantic coast.
Brief telegraphic reports are all that
have been received here, but from these
it can be gathered that hundreds of lives
erty have been saved through the efforts
of the various life saving stations.
AS soon as telegraphic communication
was restored with the stations along the
coast Superintendent Kimball suggested
reports from each.
Nothing like the same number of res
cues within period covered by q single
storm has ever before been accomplished
in the history of the life saving service of
any country.
Along the coast of Massachusetts nine
teen vessels in distress were reached by
the life saving crews and either assisted
or their crews taken ashore. Thirty-five
persons were rescued along that coast.
Along Rhode Island coast two crews,
aggregating nine men, were rescued.
Seven crews, comprising twenty-four per-
sons, were rescued on the cost of New
Jersey. At the Delaware Breakwater
twenty two vessels in distress were as
sisted, and 1874 persons taken ashore.
At Cape Henry three stranded vessels
were reached and twenty-four lives
rescued.
When the full returns of the work
done by the life-saving service during the
recent storm reaches Superintendent
Kimball, he intends to compile them and
submit them to Congress with the recon-
mendation that these rugged men be
recognized to the extent of at least giving
them adequate pay for their courageous
service

They will hereafter appear rs from the

the ex-Finance Commissioner has mar

1t is many years now since Justice
Warren began the real estate business in
this city. The beginning was humble,
but tact and shrewdness, combined with
industry and scrupulous integrity in his
dealings soon brought him into notice,
and year by year his business has grown,
till now it is no longer possible for one
man to attend to it all.
1t is because he has been forced by the
necessity of dividing the labor of his
growing business that he has entered into
partnership relations with the son of his
old time and long time friend.
This arrangement will enable the mem
bers of the new firm to give their per-

to their hands, and all callers at the
office will always find one or the other of
the two partners there to respond.

Another life has been sacrificed on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey at the
dangerous Centreville station in Bay

indirectly working for the company.
William McGrath, aged twenty years,

and threw him off, the wheels of the en-
gine passing over him, killing him in
stantly. His head was crushed to O

The King Award Case.

Counsellor Vredenburgh, ON behalf of
the New Jersey junction Railroad Com

morning to have the appeal of John and
Catherine King from the award made by
commissioners appointed to condemn land
owned by them dismissed. The counsel
said the award was made May 10, 1886,
and the appeal was made soon afterward.
Since then every effort had been made by
the railroad company to have the appeal
dismissed or the case tried Counsellor
Beekman, for the defendants, informed
the Court that he was ready to try the
case at any time, and The Court declined
to dismiss the appeal and directed that a
struck jury try the case two weeks from
