Gossop That has Been Provoked About
the New Police Headquarters.
There is much speculation in the minds
of those directly interested as to the
cause of Mayor Cleveland's delay in at

the erection Of the new Police Head
quarters building.
The date fixed upon for the completion
of the building Is drawing gradually
nearer, but beyond tearing down the bid

The bricks are still piled in the vicinity
and this morning Contractor Cuf1ey had
another complaint lodged with Justice
Stilsing against him by Charles LIE Vaire
for obstructing Cooper place. The con-
tractor was recently fined SIS on the same
charge.
BY some 1t is said the Mayor very prop

contract because the specifications are

Finance refused to concur In the resolu-

Mayor Cleveland was not in his Office

Special to the JERSEY city Nelcs
TRENTON, Feb. 12, 1S90-A misunder-
standing upon the part of Mr.. Kelly
raised quite commotion in the House
this morning. Mr.. Potts offered resoiu-
tion asking the Senate to return the bill
which was passed yesterday giving the
Aldermen of Newark a salary OF 800 a
year. 1t was then learned that the bill
had been rushed through the Senate
under @ suspension of the rules and was
in the hands of the Governor Mr. Potts
then offered joint resolution asking the
Governor to return the bill without
signing it.
Mr.. Potts objected to the bill because
1t was thought il applied to Jersey City,
and withdrew his opposition when as
sured by Mr.. Kalisch that the bill had
been drawn by the Governor so that it
would not apply to Jersey City. In view
OF this fact, therefore, Mr.. Kelly threw a
bombsheH into the House when he arose
and said that he had taken the bill to the
Governor and the Governor had said that
it applied to Jersey City
This statement raised commotion on
the floor during which the Governor sent
for Mr.. Kelly. When Mr.. Kelly came
back he threw oil upon the troubled
waters by saying that he had made mis-
take; that he had taken the original bill
TO the Governor. and not the substitute
which the Governor had drawn for the
purpose of exempting Jersey City from
its provisions So the matter ended.

THE SEVENTH PRECINCT.
Something, But Nothing Very Start
ling Found in the Box.
Special to the Jerssp ostu Mems.

TRENTON, Feb. 10, 1890. The Senate
Committee on Elections proceeded with
the investigation Of the Hudson county
tor Adrain. The first box examined was
the Seventh precinct of the first dis
trict, which was opened just previ-
Gus to adjournment yesterday. AL
though the box was opened yesterday,
the lid could not be budged this
morning and had to be broken off This
polling place was in One Truck House, at
Van Worst and Grand streets. The box
sent there in the morning would not work
and another had to be substituted. This
accounts for the fact that the dial of the
box produced this morning registered 147
while the poll book contained 240 names,
and certificate of that number was cor
rectly signed by Patrick Mannex, judge;
William McAnally and Peter Cooper, in
spectors, and Edward Gafney, clerk.
Henry Hewitt, son cf Poor Master
Hewitt, and Jersey City reporter, testi-
fed to the fact that they saw the first
box on election day, that the machinery
in the lid would not work and that they
saw the lid taken off. City Marshal
Long testified to the fact the boxes were
changed. The poll book contained the
statement:-"This book contains the
names and addresses of the persons vot-
ing at this precinct on 31st day of Novem-
ber, 1885,"
A number of affidayits were in the box
showing that the persons named therein
were voters. On the tally sheet Mcdonald
was given 167 and Stuhr "a. The string
contained 240 names
STUHR GAINS SEVEN.
Two tickets were found on the string
numbered 154 The result of the recount
increased Stuhr's vote by seven and stood
McDonald's, 167, and Stuhr, II. Some of
the ballots bore mark which had not
appeared before in the investigation. The
committee ran twenty-five blank tickets
through the lid and found that the new
mark belonged to the box before them.
The dial registered correctly, con-
secutively and marked each ticket dis
tinctly with an elipse punctured in the
centre. A double ballot was run through
with the result that the outer one was
marked and puncrured while the inner
was plainly Dunctured but not marked.
Senator Gardner called attention to the
fact that on the string thin ballot, the
size of the regular Democratic, frequently
alternated with regular Democratic
ballot The regular bore the marks of
having gone through the box in tine reg
ular way while the thin one did not seem
to be marked at all. There were no

TRENTON, Feb. IL. 1S9O.-The Senate
was in session but short time today.
Mr.. Carter introduced bill which will
attract considerable attention. It places
the protection of the law by allowing
them to write to any Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas whenever they may
desire, and over these letters there shall
be no censorship exercised or allowed by
the asylum officials.
The bill providing for levyiDg tax of
one-third of one mill on a dollar for es-
tablishing Park Fund, " to be used for
the construction and maintenance OF
parks, was virtually killed by a motion
of it's introducer, Mr.. Mallon, to in
definitely postpone. When the bill came
up Mr.. Martin moved an amendment by
"shall levy a tax, ETC." AS this would
virtually kill the present law, Mr.. Mallon
took the course he did.
The Democratic members of the House
held a caucus today and resolved to con-
firm the appointment of the pages
and to go into a joint meeting
for the appointment of Com
missioners of Deeds. The date for
holding the joint meeting was not fixed
nor were any names mentioned for the
commissionerships.
The Joint Committee on Ballot Reform
met at the adjournment Of the House
this noon and instructed Senator Werts
to prepare d bill TO be presented to the
committee at it's meeting next Wednes-
day.
On Tuesday afternoon the committee
will give another public hearing in the

tally sheet showed Mcdonald to have sol

A. +. O'Herne, clerk, certified that
511 votes had been cast. This certificate
was on the second page. The last ballot
on the tally sheet was numbered 507.
When twelve ballots had been counted
Senator Gardner said that he had not
noticed any signs of puncture or milling
on any of the ballots Mr. Corbin thought
he discovered some faint traces.
In order to settle the question num-
Der of blank tickets of different thick
nesses were run through the box and
found to be marked and punctured dis
tinctly. Mr.. Corbin turned the crank,
and did so vigorously that he broke the
dial and did not register after the first.
AS the count proceeded tickets were
found distinctly milled and punctured in
the same manner as those run through
the box by Mr.. Corbin
The recount changed the figures on the
tally sheets materially. Stuhr gained "a
votes and Mcdonald lost 80. The recount
stood Mcdonald, All; Stuhr, 81.

When the count was completed Mr.. Cor

votes cast was 234, that all the names on
