London fire department statistics show
that although theatre fires have increased
greatly in number, they are far less dam

cation excels in any other branch Of his pro

Revision of Laws. Senator Gardner, the
chairman of the committee. submitted a
minority report.
Senator Roe does not seem to be salts
fed with the volunteer weather service
bureau attached to the Agricultural
College, and introduced a bill for the es-
Establishment of such q bureau npon bust
ness like methods, The bill provides for
q Board OF Directors, to consist of the
State chemist. the State botanist and u
third person to be appointed. The
Senator seems to think that a mixture of
botany and chemistry will produce q
superior order of weather.
MI. Werts is seeking by q bill intro
duced last night to establish u geological
museum in the State House, and Mr.
Leaning proposes to enlarge the State
Reform School by a 81, 600 chapel and an
5000 family building. The bill which
will be introduced for that purpose ap-
prOpriates $1,000 for the payment of the
clergymen attending the institution. Mr..
Winton wants the railroad companies to
arch their tunnels with blocks of
masonry. His bill with that object in
view contains a penalty of a $50 fine for
its violation.
A large delegation of physicians, among
them DR.. B. A.. Watson, of Jersey City,
labored with the Senate Committee yes
terday afternoon over the bill creating a
State Board of Medical Examiners. After
an amendment was agreed to, providing
that it shall requine a vote of the entire
nine members to issue diplomas to appli-
cants, the COMMITTEES intimated that the
bill would be reported favorsbiy shortly.
The doctors went away iubilant.

townships in his districts to make a
yearly exhibition, and for that purpose
introduced a bill authorizing the expend-
iture of 500 annually.
Mr.. Smith, of Essex, thinks it would
be a good idea to pension the Judges of
the Supreme Court, and, with that OBJ
Ject in view, introduced a bill providing
that all Supreme Court Justices who are
over seventy years of age and who have
served twenty consecutive years shall re-
ceive a salary of 5000 per annum, pro-
yided they resign. MI. Kelly introduced
q bill into the House establishing O tax of
i've per cent. on all legacies.
There was an animated spat this even
ing between the great anti-parK agitatof,
Mr.. Kelly, and the little giant of Hudson,
Mr.. Potts. Potts secured the passage
last week of a bill giving the District
Court jurisdiction in replevin suits. Mr..
Kelly thought he had made the discovery
that this bill was passed to meet a case
OF MI. Potts, although that gentleman
assured him the day it passed that such
was not the case.
He procured an extract from the clerks
minutes, which he thought proved this to
be u fact. He therefore moved to recon-
slider the vote.
Mr.. Potts was indignant, and soon set
tied Mr.. Kelly with the point OF order
that as Mr.. Kelly had not voted on the
bill he could not nov a reconsideration.
This aroused Mr.. Kelly's wrath, and he
was inclined to think that he had voted,
but as the journal sustained Mr.. Potts he
subsidized.
Later MMr. MMuiiiione look up the fight for
him, but q compromise was patched up
and the bill was allowed to stand.
Speaker Heppenheimer announced as
the committee to investigate the State
Prison:-Messrs. Malone, Marsh, Trier,
Voorhees, and Williams.
The bills providing for a State board of
railroad commissioners, preventing the
merging of railroads unless they surren-
der any existing contract exempting
them from taxation. and making life in
surance policies and certificates non-for-
feitable after two years were recon-
mitted.

Mr.. Mcdonald, who has always de-
nonnced the conduct of the Senator from
atlantic for this auuocratic 1surpation of
the 5enate's rights, secured the passage of
a~resolution requiring the committee to re-
port the bill. The committee. at the die

Commissioners will be glad to hear
suggestions from taxpayers relative to
any under or over valuations in the
last tax lists, or any information that
will enable them to make a proper
adjustment of tax valuations in the

each piece of property in the city, but
it is now proposed to do that work with
elaboration and justice to all tax
payers.
In cases of written appeal already

in will be thoroughly examined, and
in other cases the Board will hear all
persons verbally o. by brief written
statements from April 1, to May 1,
