Investigation held no meeting this morn
ing Gardner was too i'll to proceed, al
though he was present in the Senate and
took part in the proceedings. Prepara-
lions were made to seal up the contents of
the ballot boxes and send the boxes back
in accordance with Senator Abrams reso-
luton. It is understood the committee
will hold no more meetings this week,
but will renew the taking of testimony
next week in Jersey City.
a resolution was adopted by the
House today allowing the Ballot Reform
Committee to meet during the session of
the House. 1t is doubtful if the bill will
be ready this week. The committee met
yesterday, but transacted no business.
owing to the want of quorum. Kelly's
Saturday half holiday bill passed the
House.
There was lively scene in the House
increasing the Lay Judges salaries.
After some discussion vote was taken
and the Clerk announced the bill had re-
ceived thirty one votes

speaker declared the bill passed. Kerr
and Voorhees, claimed it had not, as they
had counted only thirty votes for it, The
names of those recorded in the affirma-
tive were then read.
When Trimmer's name was read a
storm arose. Trimmer had announced
when his name was called on the vote
that he was outside the bar. He subse-
Quently walked down to the clerks desk
and had his name recorded in the affirm

The Speaker said although Trimmsr's
course was out of order he had announced
the bill passed, and all that could be
done was to reconsider. Voorhees, pro-
tested against that mode OF voting.

TRENTON, March H. 1890 The Senate
this evening passed Speaker Heppenheim-
er's bill, giving the Park Commissioners
power to condemn lands. This is plain
notice to Mr.. Kelly that his attempts TO
deprive the people of their prospective
breathing spots will receive no more con
sideration in the Upper House than they
did in the lower.
One Of the increase of salaries bills re-
ceived its quietus in the Senate and will
probably he seen no more this Seseion.
1t was the bill increasing the salary of
the District Court officers and it will be
appropriately mourned by those hard
working officials all over the State.
1t was adversely reported by the COM
mittee. The same process killed Boyle's
Milk bill. limiting the price to be charged
for the transportation of milk to fifteen
cents per can, and Mr. Erwin's bill abol-
ishing the separate examination of women
when acknowledging deeds and like doc
umentS.
The Ballot Reform Committee was
given permission TO meet during the ses-
sions of the Senate, providing that it
does not interfere with the work of the
Senate.
Mr. Murphy's fire escape bill passed
the Senate, and if the Governor sees fit
to sign it will become a law.
The bill providing for the incorporation
of Bible societies, and that appropriating
$500 for the State Prison library also
passed; as also the bills which provide
that owners of lands benefited by the
street improvements shall be assessed for
the same and approDriating a. 900 to the
Labor Bureau.
The House bills providing for the taxa
tion of property when the same has been
overlooked by the assessors; permitting
the laws to be published in the news
papers of secret societies; Civ
ing council or township committees

requiring organizations to give the chief

TRENTON, March II, 1890. 1.-The session
of the House this evening was one of the
shortest aud dsillest Of the year. Com
missioner Conway and Clerk Esterbrook,
of the Fire Board, and Assistant City
Collector Miles McCartin were upon the
floor anxiousiy awaiting developments in
connection with the increase in salary
bills in which they are interested. But
their vigil was in vain, and they departed
without seeing any of their bills progress
further than the order of third reading.
About the first business transacted was
the passage of a resolution calling for the
appointment of committee, consisting
of three Senators and three Assembly
men, to go to Philadelphia on Wednesday
and witness the launching Of the new
United states cruiser Newark.
There was slight skirmish over the
bill which gives the lay judges in second
class counties salary of 81, 500, and some
of the most excruciating puns Imaginable
were perpetrated The bill was before
the House on second reading, and Messrs.
Williams and Kerr opposed it strenuously.
They contended that the wooden judges
were merely an ornamental and expensive
luxury. Instead of having their salaries
increased they should be abolished en-
tirely Mr.. Kerr had an amendment fix
ing the salary at $1,000, which brought
Father Nash TO his feet with character
istic speech in defence of the ornaments
VINO, like almost every one else whose
cause Mr.. Nash champions, 'are COM
posed of the bone and sinew of our land. y
s'What good are the lay Judges in
Camden county, anyhow" asked Mr..
Kerr
''They are good sleepers, il they are
nothing else," responded Mr.. Harris.
"Then you pay too much for layers
down there, said Mr.. Williams.
This pun killed the amendment and the
bill went to a third reading. Among the
other bills passed were those authorizing
Prosecutors in the second and third class
counties to employ detectives; permitting
the State Treasurer to sell personal prop
erty belong to the State; authorizing the
investment of trust funds in county, city,
town or township bonds where the public
debt does not exceed fifteen per cent
of the taxable value of the real
estate, and permitting constables to re-
ceiye their fees unon the certificate OF the
County Clerk that they have performed
their duty Also the Senate bill which
provides that when deeds are lost the
property may be assured to the owner by
the county, upon presentation of the
survey Of the premises and extract from
the public records.

A fine Showing.

While Sheriff Gardemal was preparing
u statement to make his settlement with

payers Of this parish: The amount Of II.
censes collected for 1889 is Parish 81 1,585,
80 and state $3,l97,5O. The above shows
a great gain over the licenses collected
in 1887 which were Parish $1,000 and
state $2,85OOO.
The paper further shows that OF the
tax OF 1889 the Shelf has versed in tho
State Treausery the amount collected up
to December 3lst., which is $7,79l SO, and
has settled with the parish Wednesday,
turning over to the treasurer $6,929,6l.
The amount collected of the tax of 1889
up to Jan. 2Oth., is $9,S21,55.
