TRENTON, Feb. Is, 1s90.-Mr. Voorhees,
introduced bill into the House this
afternoon for the Committee on Ways and
Means. which is intended as measure to
provide for the current expenses of the
State. 1t provides that all moneys here
after paid into the State Treasury, as the
proceeds of sales, grants or leases, made
after the approval of this act. of lands
under water belonging to the State shall
be deemed a part of the current revenue
of the State and shall be used for neces-
sary expenses and the payment of general
or special appropriations; provided that
nothing in the act shall be construed as
transferring from the School Fund any
right, title or interest in any securities or
property now part of the assets of that
fund, or as in any way impairing the
right of the School Fund to the proceeds
or income derived from any securities or
property now belonging to said School
Fund
The bill, it is understood, has the ap-
proval of the Governor and is recon-
mended by the Comptroller Although
some question has been raised as to
whether the money derived from this
source can be devoted to any other object
than the school fund, some OF the highest
legal authorities in the State have given
it as their opinion that it can. The bill
will no doubt provoke considerable dis
cussicn and will be thoroughly consider
ed in all it's phases before 1t becomes q
law

tax payers.
In reference to the petition recently
presented by Peter Lanster, who owns

ard street, asking recovering of the
difference between the assessed and the
revised valuation of his property, the
Corporation Counsel had this to say to the
Board:-
''You have no power to return this
money. 1t there was an error in the
value of the property appearing upon the
face of the bill the owner should have
appeared within the required bylaw be-
fore paying the bill. The payment of his
was voluntary. There would be no end
of cases of this kind il this precedent
were established.
The judgment. amounting to $84.25,
recently recovered by Richard DooleY
against the old Board of Works
was ordered paid. Dooley's is
one whose name appeared upon the yay
roll of the old Board of Works when the
Big Four were indicted for malfeasance
in office, one of the charges of which
was that of paving men who did no work.
Dooley was employed in the Custom
House. In the trial he testified
that he wss employed by
by the Board of Works from a. M. to
p. m. The Custom House officials saw
the printed testimony and dismissed him.

TRENTON. Feb. 10, 1S90.-The Senate
Committee resumed the Investigation
of the Stuhr-McDona contest this morn
ing, and took up the Third district.
Nothing was found in the First precinct
except evidences that the tally sheet had
been tampered with. It gave Mcdonald
seventy-seven and Stuhr 122, while the
recount and official returns gave Nc
Donald eighty-two and Stuhr III.
A different state of affairs was found to
exist in the Second precinct, where both
sides seem to nave wandered from the
paths of rectitude. The dial, checked
registry list and poll book agreed upon
225, and seemed to tie regular. The box
worked well and punctursd distinctly, but
stamped family. The string had 224.
The affidavits Of John F. Conley. judge;
Michael Dunn and Owen Dougherty, in
spectors, and Henry A. Elston were In the
main correct.
were found which, though punctured,
bore no evidence OF having been niiied Or
stamped, while many others bore those
marks distinctly. An experiment with
the box led the committee to conclude
that the former had been put into the
box inclosed in Others
FRAUD FOR STUHR.
Several of these suspicious ballots were
for Stuhr, the sight of which so worked
upon the feelings of Senator Roe that he
ejaculated:-
"They wouldn't have been likely to put
in all Democratic tickets.''
One Stuhr ticket was folded in pecu-
liar manner. evidently for the purpose of
holding others A double ballot was
found on the string, marked scattering" !"
The two ballots bore out the conclusion
of the experiment made before.
The recount differed from the tally
sheet only in taking one vote from Nc
Donald.
THE THIRD PRECINCT.
The Third precinct was found to be
regular, and the recount did not change
the tally sheet, which footed up:-McDo
aid, 17s. and Stuhr, 35. No jokers have
been found thus far in this district.
The Fifth Precinct was also regular in
every respect, although he recount gave
Stuhr one more vote, making the total
Mcdonald 14S, Stuhr 147.
The Sixth and Seventh precincts were
found to be regular in all respects, and
the returns were not changed by the re-
count.

the Americans is already underwritten
by the founders, in accordance with the
English business style. 1t is expected
that the balance will be readily sub
