Governor Abbstt Puts In Another Heavy
Days Work at Trenton.
Special to the Jersey City Ne,os.
TRENTON. March "a, 1892. Governor
Albeit worked Yesterday in his New
York office and returned to the Secretary
of State thirty-six signed bills, many OF
them of Importance. He signed the bill
which gives Paterson, Camden and
Trenton Board of Public Works. 1t
concentrates the government into the
hands OF five Commissioners, TO be ap-
pointed by the Mayor. 1t is principally
intended for Trenton.
The National Guard of the State will
now have medical department, which
Will be separate from other departments.
Flynn's bill making fifty-five hours a
weeks work in factories and workshops
is approved. The inheritance tax bill,
which imposes per cent on all gifts,
legacies and collateral inheritances, is
made law. There Is to be Deputy
State Treasurer and Comptroller in the
future. The Chicago Fair Commissioners
get $4,000. The Labor Bureau will re-
ceive $1,000 that it needs for current ex-
penses.
The Governor now has power to loan
the Sons of Veterans tents when they go
into camp. The State Poultry Associa-
tion has been incorporated. Such counties

bonds for 100000.
The State Charities Aid Is to receive
5000 as an appropriation. Lakewood Is to
be new township in Ocean county. The
Cumberland county gerrymander is also
approved.
The bill continuing the commission
that Is codifying the township laws has
also been signed by the Governor. The
commission consists of Messrs. Camp
bell, Page and Hendrickson. They have
been working for nearly year and have
not yet received penny.
They were created under an act passed
In 1891. The original bill required that
the work should be completed before the
compensation was made The Commits
sion is not through with the work. 1t
has found that the township laws have
been piled on the statute books, and are
there as confused mass. 1t will require
another year to complete the work. A
bill was necessary not only to continue
the commission. but to arrange for par
tial payment. The Governor signed the
measure and audited the bills that the
commission has paid out. The compensa-
tion OF the commission will be fixed in
few weeks.

day the facts concerning the collision
between the ferryboats Princeton and
Susquehanna. The facts briefly told
were these;-
The Princeton left Desbrosses street at
twenty minutes before three. The fog
was SO dense that Pilot Decker could not
see forty feet ahead of him. rhe boat
was under half speed and pointed down
stream. Suddenly the Erie ferry boat
Susquehanna loomed up. Before the en-
gines of the boats could be reversed the
crash came The smashing of glass and
pieces OF flying woodwork caused panic
among the passengers.
AS soon as quietness was restored it
was discovered that Miss Annie Nichols,
of No. 90 Second street, New York, and
Miss Mary Gordon, of No. 204 Broom g
street, New York, had been injured. The
ladies were sent to their respective homes
more frightened than hurt. The Susaue-
hanna was badly damaged and was at
once sent to the Hoboken dry docks for
repair. The Princeton was but slightly
damaged.

every consumer. want it cheap
From Allan L. McDermotts Aaasaoer
to HIS Maligners.
A quartette of precocious youths, the
Oldest of whom was but fourteen years
old, and the youngest ten, was arraigned
in Recorder McDonou0h's Court. Ho-
boken, this morning. All were well
dressed and intelligent. They belong in
Buffalo where their parents reside.
Thirsting for adventure and desire to
see New York and the Brooklyn Bridge,
they had left good homes In Buffalo and
beat their way to Hoboken. They were
stranded when Hoboken was reached, but
were about to commit burglary in the
most approved style when policeman
pounced upon them.
DAZZLED.
It was about eleven O'Clock that Police
man Quinn noticed the boys on Hudson
street. They stood In front of Cronheim's
Theatre, and gaZed with wondering eyes
at the gaudy show bills. The boys then
walked slowly along and feasted their
eyes on the goodies" displayed in the
lS5bbuldut WluQOW5. Lucy 0hu uOb ud4
a square meal since they left Buffalo.
Policeman Quinn followed the boys for
over an hour. Their actions were sus-
picious. They conversed together, and
viewed darkened private residences and
business places with strange interest.
At about half-past twelve o'clock the
quartette stopped in front of Assem- bly,
man Tahen's saloon at the corner of
Fifth and Adams street. The saloon was
closed and dark. Two of the boys gazed
furtively up and down the street while
the others tried the door.
CAPTURED.
At this juncture Quinn pounced upon
them. They did not make any attempt to
get away from the officer, and gladly went
to the police station. There they said they
were:-Peter Healey. thirteen years old,
of No. 461 Front street; William Flynn.
fourteen years OLD, of No. 500 Front
street; Myron McBeen, ten years old, of
No. 303 Front street, and William
Philips, fourteen years old, of No. 80
Fifth street.
Phillips was the brightest of the quar-.
tette and acted as leader. He was armed
with fully loaded revolver and some
wire made into skeleton keys was found
on the others.
Phillips said his father was police SER
geant In Buffalo. He and the others had
determined to see New York and the
Brooklyn Bridge. They had not cent,
but that made little difference. They
boarded Delaware, LackawRnna and
Western Railroad passenger train at
Buffalo and stole ride to Elmira, where
they were put off.
Then they stole rides ON freight and
coal trains, and arrived at Hoboken yes
terday afternoon. They had not tasted
anything since they left Buffalo except
some sandwiches kind hearted farmer
near Corning had given them. The boys
denied the officers story about trying to
break into Assemblyman Tahen's saloon,
but admitted that they were in desperate
straits. Some food which Janitor German
gave them they devoured ravenously.
Recorder McDonough decided to commit
the boys to the County Jail until such
time as their parents could be commune
