special to the .Jersev citu Mems.


TRENTON, March 10, 1890. The true in
wardness of the opposition to Senator
Abrams bill providing for free scholar
ships in the State Agricultural Col
lege appears to be that Princeton
College is opposed to the measure
because it tends to build up Rutgers Col
lege by giving it $12, 1000 year. Prince
ton had Thomas N. McCarter, of Newark,
working against the bill in the Senate
yesterday. When the measure came up
in the House this morning, Wyckoff, of
Mercer, moved that it lie over on
the ground that Princeton College
wanted to be heard upon it. Mr.. Nash
opposed the measure and berated Prince
ton soundiy for wishing to deprive de-
serving young men of an opportunity for
obtaining an education through fear of
losing few fees.
Mr.. voorhees, also opposed the motion
to lie over, and gave a history of the col
lege. He told how Princeton
refused the college when it
was offered to her, and how
Rutgers accepted and ran it since at aIoss

TRENTON, March IS, 1S90.-In the House
this afternoon the Committee on Judi.
ciary reported favorably two of the pro-
posed amendments to the constitution.
The rules were suspended and the resolu.
tions were rapidly passed to second and
third reading aud finally concurred in.
One clause permits of special legislation
for municipalities and the other corrects
d clerical error il tiio clause relat!ng rc
appointment of the Judges OF the Courts
OF Common Pleas.
Through the mistake of q clerk the
clause read that the judges should be
appointed by the Governor and the ''Sen-
attend General Assembly in joint meet
ing The amendment adopted today
strikes out the words quoted above. The
amendment met with no objection ex-
cept from Mr.. jackson, of Essex, who
claimed that the first would open the
door for unnecessary and harmful legls-
lature.
MIXED UP MOTION.
There was another amendment which
permitted special legislation for corpora,
rions, which was not concurred in
A funny episode occurred when that
amendment was under consideration.
When the vote was announced Mr. Potts
claimed that it had been concurred in.
Mr.. Marsh. he said, moved that the
amendment be nonconcurred in and the
clerk announced that thirty-four had
voted in the negative and none in the af-
tirmatiye.
Therefore the motion not to concur had
been lost and consequently the amend
ment was concurred in.
Mr.. Marsh looked troubled and tried to
explain matters satisfactorily when Mr..
Kalisch, who was in the chair, straight
ened matters out by saying that he put
the motion Shall the amendment be con-
CURED in"
SHOULD 1T HAVE PASSED.
There are many who think that this
should have been concurred in as we'll as
the other two. They say that so much
general legislation has been had which
was meant to apply TO particular corpor-
tions that it is a hard matter for a man to
tell whether ne owns the lot in the ceme-
terry in which his child is buried.
A POPULAR VOTE NEXT.
The amendments have passed both
Houses at two succeeding Legislatures,
as required by the constitution. They
must now be submitted to the people be-
fore they go into effect This will be
done at special election for that pur-
pose only, Which will be held in about

An Explosion Of Ether at
the Chemical Works.
Two Men Hurt.

The residents OF the Fourth ward, in
Hoboken, were startled at about four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by a terrific
explosion.
Upon investigation it was found that
an iron condenser containing sulphuric
ether had exploded in the chemical works,
at the corner of Jefferson and Fourth
streets. The building was Of brick and
in bad condition and the force of the ex-
plosion tore one of the walls down.
slight fire was caused by the gas
coming in contact with the furnace, but
was extinguished without the aid of the
firemen.
With the exception of August Bastgen,
the foreman, OF No. 146 Adams street,
and Gustav Sipples, the engineer, of Sec
ond and Adams street, all the Workmen

of the factory, was out of town at the
time of the accident When he learned
of the injuries received by his two work
men he was terribly upset The damage
to the building and machinery will not
amount to over 81 900. The explosion was
caused by too much steam pressure.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1890-01-25

The present year promises to be an
interesting one in the way of improve
ments in this CITY, Many new build
ings will be erected and some of the
fine residences are to be remodeled
and improved. Before the snow be-
gins to fly next winter, Ottawa will
be the center Of a cluster of pretty
new cottages occupied by those who
earn their daily bread by the sweat of
their brow. In other words, the work
ing class Of the city propose erecting
number of cottages. These will be
constructed after the most approved
fashion, combining both beauty and
comfort.
Mr.. Watson, the architect, says
that this year will witness the con-
struction OF more new cottages in OF
tawa than any previous year in its
history. This is saying a great deal,
yet the gentleman evidently knows
what he is talking about. He is now
drawing plans for several cottages, TO
be erected on the west and north sides.
The German Benevolent Society
contemplates building new hall this
spring. They are now engaged in Sc
lecting suitable site for the build
ing.
w. Fl. Hull will remodel his house
on Madison street as soon as weather
permits. These Improvements will
cost about 1900.
