A COUNTER INVESTIGATION.
The Democrats of the House MAY Open
the Camden Boxes.

The Democrats of the House MAY Open
the Camden Boxes.
Special to the jersey Cstg Nescs
TRENTON, Feb. 13, 1890.--The air is full
Of rumors today that an investigation
may be instituted by the Assembly into
the Camden county ballot boxes, similar
to that which the Senate is conducting
into the Hudson county boxes
1t has been current gossip for years that
the Camden Republicans have been en-
abled to hold the county against all COM
ers by the manipulations Of the boxes;
while their refusal, at the last election.
to make an even divide with the Demo-
Gratis in the selection OF officers to serve
at the polls, has aroused suspicion that
an excursion through the boxes may be
big with evidences of Republican wick
edness.
A contest has been begun to unseat
Harris, the Republican Assemblyman
from the Second district, and that con-
test can afford a very convenient justifi-
cation for an inquiry into the manner in
which the election was conducted there.
The House Democratic caucus INDUCED
in some causual talk about the matter
yesterday, but it took no formal shape.

Smith threw up his arm, but not in time
to.prevent the keen blade from iDflicting
a deep cash an inch long just below his
right jaw.
White started to rush for the door, but
was grabbed by Thomas Gilbert, friend
of Smiths. He broke away from Gill
bert's grasp and made wild dash up
Montgomery street, but was headed off
by two citizens, who turned him over to
the care of Patrolman STANLEY.
Both White and Jackson were taken to

not necessarily dangerous, was dressed
by the police surgeon.
White was committed this morning by

THE PRESSURE CHAMBER.

Safeguard for Workers Affected by
Compressed Air.
1t has been found by sad experience that
work in compressed air, such as has to be
done sometimes in sinking foundations
in driving subaqueous tunnels, often results
in serious injury to health and sometimes
even causes death. The danger does not
appear to be so much In the application of
the pressure as in its too rapid removal,
especially after being exposed to it for too
long time; and it has been discovered that
if workman who has collapsed on coming
out of the air-lock is promptly put back in
the chamber, and the pressure then reduced
very gradually, he will suffer little, if any,
i'll effect from what might otherwise prove
a serious matter.
Noticing this circumstance, and finding
frequent occasion to employ such treat
ment for the men engaged under his charge
On the Hudson River Tunnel, the resident
engineer in charge of the work, L. w. Moir,
determined to make a special arrangement
for such cases, as the gradual reduction OF
the pressure in the air-locks often consumed
so much time as to interfere with the pro-
gress of the work. He has, therefore de-
signed separate pressure chamber, in
which any man who shows symptoms OF
suffering from too rapid release OF pressure
on coming out of the air-lock can be at
once placed, and the pressure relieved as
slnMIy rs Hctu ut, Wui!o dt luc odtlio llino
opportunity is given for the entrance of
physician, and no interference with the
working air-locks is necessary.
The apparatus consists Of a cylinder OF
%-inch boiler plate some six feet in diam
eter and sixteen feet long, lying Oh its side.
The alright door opens inward ut one end,
and in the middle is Partition, with
similar door. Light is given by some bulls
eyes in the sides, and the structure is de-
signed ard braced for a pressure Of forty
pounds per square inch.
The patient is carried in on a stretcher
and placed in the inner chamber; the mid
die door is then closed and the air pressure
turned on, which is afterward allowed to
slowly escape. Should it be necessary for
physician to enter the outer chamber will
answer as an air-lOck for that purpose; or,
in case of emergency, it can accommodate
another patient on stretcher.
The chamber is being built by the Cock
burn Barrow Company of Jersey City, and
it seems reasonable to expect that it will
materially increase the safety and comfort
of work in the Notwithstanding Record.

WANTED TO BE BRAVE.
A HoodIum Row Comes Near
Ending With a Tragedy.

A disreputable resort at 210 Grant avenue
was the scene Of very lively fight last
night which came near resulting in trag-
edy. The place is the headquarters of
hoodlums, who carry on their orgies until
late hours of the night.
j. l.. Luhmensen, a piano-worker, and
friend entered the dancing hall last night
and after drinking several times began to
make rather free with one of the mattresses
in the place. A hanger-On objected, and
words passed between the parties. These
led to blows, and soon resulted in a free
fight. During the melee Luhmensen
stabbed young man named Patrick Hardy
three times. This somewhat cooled the
on the scene and placed Luhmensen under
arrest.
Hardy was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, where an examination of his injuries
showed that he had had a very marrow es-
cape from death. The knife in none OF the
three wounds had penetrated the lungs, al
though every cut was in the left side near
the heart. The most serious wound Is near
the left nipple.
Luhmensen was booked at the Central
Station for assault to murder. He did not
seem to realize the gravity of his situation
and was inclined to laugh about IL. He
said that during the fight somebody gave
him the knife, and he did not want to see
his friend and himself punched to death, so
he used it.
Il wanted to be brave" he said, "and
went to the assistance of my friend. II
was coward l would have had revolver.
This is what get for being brave"
The knife with which the cutting was
done has an ugly-loOking blade about six
inches long and is as sharp as razor. 1t
was covered with blood for about three
inches of its length.

FASHIONS In BANGLES.
Many Little Rings, Heavy Twisted LinI
LII d

Many Little Rings, Heavy Twisted Links,
Flexible Ropes.
"H0w are bangles" asked a CALL re-
porter of prominent jeweler the other
day.
They are very much in vogue just at
present." was the reply, as the man of gems
and jewels opened his case, and drawing
out two trays filled with every variety of
wrist ornament, told the reporter to examine
them for himself
"In the first place, there's this about
bangles" said he; everybody wears them.
See these tiny little ones-not much more
than dollar in diameter-these are for
children; larger ones are for young girls.
and here are some, so heavy, so rich and so
attractive that any lady might be proud to
have one on her arm"
II don't see any with the dangling
COINS" said the reporter; "haye they gone
out of fashion~
Most decidedly, although now and then
you will see one worn by some one who is
10th to cast 1t aside because it was given by
a friend, and contains the souvenirs or the
trophies OF many affairs. No wonder that
that fashion soon lost its hold. In the first
place it was too easily copied, everybody and
anybody could have and did have collec-
ton Of coins dangling from the wrist. And
in little while 1t was not confined to silver
coins. All sorts of limitations began to spripg
up, and not content with vulgarizing the
idea with flash fac-similes of coins and
pieces OF money, some enterprising dealers
conceived the idea of flooding the market
with bangles OF brass, strung with South
Sea curios aud shells. That killed the ban
gle business for a long time. Just
now the fashion seems to be res
directed, and ladies who had cast
aside their bangle rings by that /
mean the plain ones with no ornaments
suspended from them-have begun to res
urrect their forgotten finery, with view to
wearing it again. Why, any number of my
customers have brought theirs in to me to
have them cleaned up. You know that
nothing furnishes SO quickly as silver when
1t has been laid away"
" How do you clean silver?" but the
jeweler simply smiled, saying:
Do you expect me to give away the
secrets Of the trader"
Well, then, perhaps you will tell me
what is the most popular of all the STYLES ?"
with pleasure. / must say at the outset
that there is nothing more stylish, more
lady-like than plain gold bangle. / have
one or two customers who have worn them
for years. But the latest thing In silver
bangles is to be found in the pure white sill
yer. The 0xidized variety is going
little out OF the front ranks Of the fashion.
Here you see are some that are cut so as
to give back diamond reflection. 9TH
ers prefer the favorite marguerite; some
show squares, circles, scales, links and ali
sorts Of devices. The most stylish of them
all are the heavy links; some of them are
