NO SPECIAL LAWS.
Overwhelming Defeat of
Both the Proposed Con-
stitutional Amend
mentS.

The election held throughout the State
yesterday to give the people an oDpor-
tunity of expressing their desires relative
to the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution in favor of special laws for mu-
inequalities was quietly conducted and
aroused but litCle interest anywhere.
Every one seemed to take it for granted
that the obnoxious proposition to permit
special legislation would be beaten, and
every one was right. 1t was fairly snowek
out of sight with ballots.
In jersey City the election passed off
quietly. None of the saloons were closed,
and enquiries even in saloons as to the To-
cation of polling places in the precincts
were invariably met with astonished
looks and remarks like, Didn't know an
election was on.
The most remarkable thing in connec-
tion with the returns is the vast differ
ence in the vote upon the two separate
propositions. 1t sho ws that those who
voted did so intelligently. Some persons
doubt whether the second proposition
was thoroughly understood. Voters
knew they wanted no special legislation
for municipalities. There was no trouble
about the first proposition The second
proposition was to exDunge an inconsist-
ency in respect to the appointment of
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas.
The vote shows that many were in favor
oe this proposition who were opposed to
special legislation. Yet many voters in
their zeal voted negatively on it by cross
ing out the clause referring to it on their
ballots
Section of Article of the State Constitution
reads as follows:-
]. Justices of the Supreme Court Chancellors,
Judges of the Courts of Errors and Appeals and
Judges of the inferior Court of Common Pleas
shat De nominated by the Governor and ap-
pointed by him with the advice and consent of
the Senate.
2. Judges of the Court Of Common Pleas shall
be appointed by the Senate and General Assem-
bly, in joint meeting; they shall hold their offices
for tiye years; but when appointed to fill vacan-
cies they shall hold for the unexpired term
only.
The ticket as prepared for the voter in
reference to this proposition read
For the proposed amendment to Article r, Sec
tion 2 by omitting the words 'shall be appoint
ed by the Senate and General Assembly in joint
meeting. they, SO that the same shall read:--
'2. Judges of the Court of Common Pleas shall
hold their offices for five years; but when ap-
pointed to fill vacancies they shall hold for the
unexpired term only
1t will be seen that in opposing this
proposition the conflict in the constitu-
tion remains Yet many voters errone-
ously so voted.
A noticeable thing in connection with
the return of the ballot boxes last night
to City Clerk Scot:'s office was the fact
that the outlying districts in a majority
of instances were the first to show up,
whereas the returns from precincts, COM
paratlvely speaking, within a stones
near mldnight-and the vote light one,

force of habit, others that the managert
were waiting to hear from South Jersey

PAYING DEAD MEN.
Mayor Grassman of Hobo
ken Discovers Two De-
ceased Policemen on
the Payroll.

Mayor Grassman, of Hoboken. in look
ing over the police pay roll Of that city
found a glaring error which shows q
careless way of doing business. The pay
roll, which had been passed and certited
to as being right by number of officials,
contained the names of two dead police
men, George Mulcahey and Edward
Kelley.
The pay roll was made up by Sergeant
Rathjen, and certified as being correct
by Chief Donovan. 1t was then submitted
to the Board of Police Commissioners
and was passed. The Police Board or
dered requisition drawn on the Council
for the total amount, and the Council
men. thinking it correct, passed it. The
error was discovered by the Mayor, who
deducted S16666 from the amount Ali
OF the Commissioners expressed surprise
at the revelation, and they say that they
will be more careful hereafter.
Sergeant Rathjen states that he made
up the pay roll with the exception of
placing the amounts opposite the names.
He said the pay rolls were printed, and he
omitted to erase the names of Kelley and
Mulcahey, and the chief, in inserting the
amounts, put 1888 opposite their names.
There is q great deal of swearing about
the City Hall over the error.

Trouble in Army Circles.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 25.-A sensation
in army circl threatens to develop here
shortly and promises to grow out of the re-
cent promotion of certain enlisted men
from the ranks to second lieutenantship.
A case in point is that of young Garashe
Ord, son of tho late Gen. E. 0. G Ord. A
few weeks ago young Ord was examined by
the army board here and promct' d from
second sargant to second lieutenant Gen.
Stanley assigned him to a company of The
Eighteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort
Clark. Col. Lasalle, commanderof the post,
is preparing protest against the reception
of Lieut. Ord as a commissioned ofi1cer
in his regiment, on the ground THAI his
promotion was the result OF species OF
favoritsm becoming too frequent in the
United States army. 1t is claimed by a
certain element of army officers that the
sons of the rich men, politicians or army
| officers thar fail to pass the examination
for West Point are enlistng in the army
With the understanding that, after serving
short time, they are to be given uhdut
preference over the ordinary private in the
matter OF promotion.

Coyote Hunting.

hills, where they sleep on the soft grass, or
