MAPLE AVENUE AND LINDEN STREET.
Gen. Birney asked that an appropriation be
made to continue the pavement OF Maple ave-
nue. to Howard avenue. 1t was desirable to
have Linden street paved, but he thought it
more important that the pavement on Maple
avenue should be extended. He also wanted
the sewerage improved.
FOR REMOVAL OF NEW YORK AVENUE PARKING
Mr.. Samuel Bryan urged the committee to
have the parking in the middle of New York

He said that anxious were the property

Mr.. Evan H. Tucker appeared for the East

that the objection was that the railroad track

mended that the appropriation, $4,000, be
expended in the general schedule for the north

Mr.. Circuit next called up the bill relating to
junk dealers, pawnbrokers and secondhand
dealers. The bill provides for license of $40
per year and that pawnbrokers under penalty
of 500 shall not exact over per cent per
month on any loan. The bill was amended
somewhat by the committee and passed.
STREET RAILROAD TICKETS.
The bill compelling all street railroads to sell

Mr.. McComas said he thought the compan-
les could well sell eight tickets for 25 cents
Mr.. Grout explained that at present the rail-
way tickets were liable to become old and
spread disease.
NO SEATS, No FARE.
Mr.. Springer moved an amendment provid-
ing that on any railway Of any sort where no
seat was furnished n passenger no fare should
be collected The amendment was agreed to.
EIGHT TICKETS FOR QUARTER
Mr.. McComas proposed an amendment pro-
viding that the railways should sell eight tick
cts for IS cents.
Mr.. Kerr Qowa) thought no hasty action
should be taken in this matter.
Mr.. McComas said the amendment was not
proposed hastily. He had long tried to have
some such legislation passed. 1t would be fair
to the companies and a benefit to the public.
1t would entail no new expense ON the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Blount thought Mr.. Springer's amend

McComas plan should 60 before some COM

THE LACONEY MURDER.
Efforts to Indict the State Witnesses
for Perjury.

There was a large crowd about the
Camden Court House yesterday morn
ing to learn what movements counsel
and friends of Chalkley Laconey
would make before the Grand Jury.
Rumors were circulated on the streets
that there would be developments Of
startling nature, which would throw
some light on the mystery, and prob
ably the production of the testimony
OF witnesses that would show who had
q knowledge of the perpetrator of the
crime. 1t was also ru1nored that an
effort would be made to implicate
Francis Lingo and Garrett Murray.
But for once the prophets were at sea.
When the jury convened it was soon
learned that the object of Mr.. Grey
and Chalkley Laconey was to secure
an indictment against County Detec-
tive Patrick M. Gallagher and Garrett
Murray, States witnesses, for perjury.
There we're fourteen witnesses ex-
amined, including Chalkley LeConey,
who denied the statements made by
Gallagher and Murray in their rebuff
tai testimony to the effect that they
found the chicken coop had been
moved sixteen feet nearer the house
than it was on the day of the murder.
The witnesses yesterday swore the
coop was in the same position now as
it was when built in 1876.
The Grand Jury unanimously
agreed to ignore the bill, which was
done. The announcement that La
coney's friends had simply applied to
have the two men indicted for perjury
was unfavorably received, as many
anticipated that the counsel for the
defendant was in possession Of im-
portant information concerning the
crime.
Mr.. Gaskill yesterday ridiculed the
report that action would be com
menced against the State for Laco-
ney's arrest.
After the SaddleEs Now.
1t was rumored in Newark yester-
day that an English syndicate.
through their representatives, were
negotiating with the leading saddlery
hardware manufacturers with a view
TO obtaining a controlling interest in
the concerns. The movement is yet
in it's incipient state and nothing def
mite could be learned yesterday of the
manufacturers who would be likely
to sell out to the syndicate. A mum
Der OF the firms, however, stated their
willingness to join the syndicate if
they are fortunate enough to be given
an option.
