eARDNERS BLUFF,
/ asked Senator Gardner this morning
what he thought of the move made BY
The Democratic House in appointing tbfs
investigating committee.
Il am glad the House appointed the
committee" he said. IF one House has
the right to appoint such q Committee the
other has, and this gives us the oppor-
tunity for which we have long been fookg
ing for. On Monday night the Senate
will appoint a committee similar to that
appointed by the Assembly, which wila
inquire into the election methods of one
or two other counties and some Of the
municipalities of the State.
Why, If the Senate had supposed it
had the power to appoint such q commit
tee we would have investigated Jersey
Clty's municipal government long ago.
The senator intimated that Middlesex
was one of the counties the COMMITTEES
which the Senate proposes to appoint

did not seem to be much disturbed over
the prospect OF having his county and tho
methods by which he has carried 1t SO

THE PRISON ENQUIRY.
The House Committee, which has been
investigating the alleged violation of laws
in the State Prison, has completed It's
labors and will make a report early next
week. 1t is reported that the rumored
charges of favoritism in the treatment of
the prisoners is unfounded
Lizzie Garrabrant, the life prisoner, and
several other women prisoners were ex-
amined yesterday afternoon and all con-
frmed the testimony of Mrs. Patterson,
wife OF the prisoner, that all were treated
alike and that they had no complaint to
make. DR.. Cornelius Sheperd, the ply
sician of the prison, said that Eva
Hamilton was not sent to the hospital at
his direction, but he concurred in her
own suggestion to be sent there. She
had evidently been i'll and had been con-
fined to her bed while in the hospital
Charges that some prisoners had been
inhumanly treated were also inquired
into and in the opinion of the committee
were not sustained

FROM HER HOME.
Bertha Haines' Sad Story Of Her
Uncle's Brutal Conduct.

MT. HOLLY. April %, 1890 There was
big audience In the Court House yester-
day afternoon to witness the trial of Will
liam Sloan, charged with assaulting
Bertha K. Haines. his twelve-year-old
niece
Sloan is a short, compactly built man,
about fifty-three years Of age, and wears
a mustache that completely covers his
mouth, which makes him look rather
ferocious. He was accompanied by his
wife, who carried six-mon this old infant
in her arms. Prosecute Budd opened
the case for the State briefly. and Charles
r. Haines, the girls father, took the
stand to testify. He told a straightfor-
ward story of the search for his daughter
after learning of her absence from home,
and how he discovered her in Sloan's
company in an abandoned house nine
miles from her home. The witness ex-
hibited some vehemence when he told
how he commenced TO beat the prisoner
with his lists and was stopped by the
constable
Mrs. Haines, the child's mother, then
came forward with bowed head, and
showing in her face traces of the sorrow
wroughJ by her daughters ruin. She be-
gan to tell what she knew of the matter,
but broke down and wept copiously. Her
tale throughout was broken by sobs. She
remembered that Bertha packed up some
of her clothes the afternoon of the day
she left home, but afterward put them
away again, and the mothers suspicious
were not aroused. She Is the mother of
seven children, and Bertha is the oldest.
She seemed greatly relieved when the
lawyers ceased to question her.
Bertha Halnes,'' called out the Prose-
cutor, and every eye was strained toward
the witness stand. Bertha stepped for
ward, was sworn, and took seat facing
the audience. She is a very large girl for
her age and wore long dress. She ap-
peared to be quite intelligent but told her
story reluctantly and with much hesita-
ton. She said she packed up her clothes
that day for long journey. Mr.. Sloan's
wife told her that he wanted her to go to
the seashore and live with him, and the
tempting offer of nice home, nice
clothes and other nice things was made
to her. She was to meet Sloan that night
and start She stole out of the house
about eight O'Clock in the evening
and met Sloan along the road
in waiting for her. They then
walked the nine miles to Butler Place,
and arrived there about one O'clock in
the morning. The evidence gathered
from this point 1ntil the time Of the
arrival of the child's father is unfit for
publication. The girl bore the ordeal of
the examination by the lawyers with con-
siderable fortitude
This morning Micajah &. Mattock, the
defendants counsel, will put him on the
stand, and, while he will not deny his
guilt, will endeavor to show some miti-
eating circumstances by attempting to
prove that the girl was not enticed away
from home, she having told defendant
she was not treated right there and did
moi want TO stay.

GARDENERS BOOMERANG.
Mr.. Corbin Finds Proof That Many sus-
pected Votes Were Straight.

Mfs C0rDin flndS RrooT That Many SuEs
pected Votes Were Straight.
The Senate Committee on Elections
rugged up their dredging machine in
Chancery Chambers this morning and
resumed the monotonous work Of trying
to find some Justification for their pro-
posed theft of Senator McDonald's seat.
George w. Peterson, superintendent OF
the United States Express Companyss
stables, on Henderson street, was the
first witness. and a very unprodt-
was asked about some men who
were registered from the company's
stables, and much to Mr.. Corbin's
chagrin he testified that the men might
be all right. as some of their employees
lodged there Mr.. Corbin may not be-
have the investigation start off without
fraud, so he dismissed Mr. Peterson
quickly, and running over his bundle OF
slips had Stenographer Mcknight note
number Of names which could not be
found to agree on the poll book and
registry.
The frantic manner in which the COM
mittee strains after fraud was forcibly i'll
lustrated when Mrs. Mary Leary, OF No.
521 Henderson street, was on the stand.
She was asked if Desmond Mohr lived in
her house, and she promptly said s'N0. y
Mr.. Corbin was about to have this put
down as a fraudulent vote, when Judge
Garretson suggested that Desmond Mohr
was evidently meant for Mich. Desmond,
and Mrs. Leary said that Michael Des-
mond lived in the house, and thus another
one of those ''seventy-five fraudulent
voters day" was ruined.
Senator Gardner received this letter
this morning.:

Liquor and Fake Shows.

ATLANTIC CITY, April 23, 1890. LIN har-
mony with the great improvement made
to the boardwalk, the tone of the class of
amusements along the promenade is also
to be raised and the recent action of
City Council on the matter meets with
general approval. Under the ordinance
passed by Council no place where liquor
is sold will be licensed unless it is twenty
five feet away from the walk, and no
shows or theatrical performances at
which liquor is sold shall be within 200
feet of the walk. Then, again, places
licensed shall be properly screened and
passers-by need not, unless they choose to
visit these places, know what is going on.
The shanties of one story will be done
away with and wherever license is
granted the provisions of the law of the
State requiring accommodation for en-
tertainment of boarders will be required
A three mile walk from Inlet to Excur-
sion House, free from annoyance and
disorder, will thus be provided for the
Atlantic City visitors of the future.
One of the prominent arrivals Is Treas
urer Robert w. Smith, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. He makes headquarters
at the Sea Side House.

Non-commissioned officers throughout
the State are greatly excited over an
order published from the office Of the Adj
jutant General. The new order provides
in substance that when the term of
enlistment of a non-commissioned
officer expires and he is granted a dis
cnarge ne ceases 10 De nOn-com-
missioned officer, even though he re-
enlist at once. According to this order,
even though non-commissioned officer
re-enlist on the date of the expir-
alton of his term, he becomes
private, and the company must go
through the formality of another cleo
tion, and If the same man be elected
he must undergo another exam
ination and receive another war
rant before reassuning his Office
The injustice of this is apparent when
it is considered that ''non-com, who
holds senior rank in company or regi-
ment one day, may by the workings of
this order become a junior non-com on
the following day.
