The Wires Down but "The News
Gets There All the Same.

TRENTON, Jan. %. IeoL-The House in
dulged in discussion this morning over
Mr.. Daly's bill limiting to three years the
time in which actions shall be brought by
personal representatives for the recovery
Of damages for death OF a person.
The bill was on second reading and the
corporation people tried to kill 1t with
amendments. They wanted the time cut
down to two years. eighteen months and
other periods. Mr.. Daily came to the res
cue. He showed how the law at present
limited the time for bringing the action
TO one year. and how ft worked hardship
upon those who through ignorance of the
law or want Of means were unable to as
sert their rights.
After considerable discussion the
amendments. except the tjeo years limit,
were voted down and the bill went to
third reading. Mr.. Daily is elated over
mis- success.
Mr. Lane introduced bill which If
passed will give Judge Lippineott a
salary Of S. 00O Der annum.
MULLoNE TO THE FRONT.
At eleven O'Clock Mr.. Mullone called up
his resolution providing that ths States
appropriation for the "World's" Fair be
withheld If the Force BILLS passed, much
to the disgust Of a delegation of agricul-
turalists who had been trying all the
morning to get a communication before
the House to the effect that the State
Board Of Agriculture was in session.
After a call OF the House Mr.. Mullone
consented to let the communication be
read.
Mr., Mullone then took the floor. He
characterized the Force bill as the great
est danger which had threatened the
country since the Rebellion. He then
quoted statistics TO show that the Repub-
licans were ia a minority in the North.
He paid his respects to Mr.. Potts as his
"Liliiputian friend" in a manner which
brought down the House and galleries.
Mr.. Potts. he said with the rancor OF a
partisan Republican, bad referred to his
reduced majority at the last election, and
he would call attention TO other people
whose maiorities were reduced at that
election. Mr.. Mullone then quoted figures
to show the fate which overlook the ad-
vocates of the Force bill in Congress. He
quoted Instances, he said, to snow that
the country voted against the Force bill
last fail.
He then showed how the Worlds I,
Fair was taken to Chicago because New
York was Democratic city, and Platg
and Dudley could not control it.
Mr.. Potts tried TO reply to Mr.. Mullone.
IN THE SENATE.
The Senate Committed on Elections ex-
tricated themselves from the difficulty
into which they were thrown by the ap-
pointment of Senator Keys upon the
committee and the reference TO il of the
contest against the same gentleman. The
committee resolved to ask the Senate to
relieve it of the contest and have it re-
terred to a special committee.
The joint House resolution condemning
the Force bill was passed this morning.
Senator Cranmer, Republican, of Ocean,
offered a substitute reafiirming the posi-
Iion of the Republicans upon the subject
The subject was thoroughly ventilated In
the House last week that the resolution
was adopted without discussion. Senator
Mcdonald says that the bill exemptiug
State and municipal bonds from taxation
was introduced by him by req uest.
