LIVELY MONDAY NIGHT.
A Lot of Interesting Things Done by

TRENTON, April 20, 1890. Whatever may
be said about the dullness Of the Legis-
Iature, Monday night still has its attrac-
tion for the outside world. The galleries
and floors last evening were crowded to
greater extent than usual, and there
were large number OF Jersey City
people present. President FeeneY
and Chief Murphy Of the
Police Board were on hand
for the purpose of securing the Cover
nor's signature to the bill providing for
the new station houses in Jersey City.
As the bill only reached the Governor
technically this morning. their mission
was unsuccessful. Commissioner Hitler,
of the Board of Finance, was using all his
influence for the passage of the bill CIV
ing the Sinking Fund Commissioners a
salary,
DR.. Watson and Counsellor Traphagen
came down TO stem the tide which set in
in the Senate last week, in favor of the
measure which permits the Erie Railway
to maintain its shed in Tenth street. I'm
less they derived some pleasure from
their trip outside of the State House, they
might as we'll have remained at home.
THAT ERIE BILL.
Mr.. Zimmerman, Of Bergen, called up
the bill in the House, told how it merely
gave railroad companies the right to
maintain sheds in cities and was wanted
by everybody in Jersey City, with prob
ably one or two exceptions. That was all
the House wanted to know and the bill
went through with only two votes against
it, those Of Messrs. Erwin and Byrne.
Then ex-Senators Brinkerhoff and Ed
wards were here visiting the scenes of
their former trlumphs, and r.. B. Ward
was devoting all his energy toward
guarding the waters of the State.
The House received the Governors first
veto. The bill which gives the Prose
cutor of Monmouth salary of SO, 600 was
the fated one The Governor said that it
was clearly special in its nature and he
would have to veto it.
Assemblyman Trefz, the baby Of the
House, is dangerously ill with typhoid
fever, and on motion Of Mr.. Jackson ap-
propriste resolutions were adopted.
