LOVE AND CASH.
Father Abraham Nash also broke out
yesterday afternoon for the first time
the House and galleries in roars OF
laughter by his impassioned elo-
quence. The theme upon which he
d1scoursed was the sacredDesS
of love and marriage. He was inspired
by Mr.. POTTS bill which provides that a
deed from married woman for premises
shall be legal and convey complete title
without the consent of her husband
in cases where the husband joined in an
agreement to sell. Father Abraham was In
his most eXuberant spirits and denounced
the introduction of the bill, which he said
sought to drag the sacred sentiment OF
love and the holy bonds of matrimony
down to the level of a business traDsac-
tion for dollars and cents.

the printed bill over his head SO vigor-

dered far from the point. The bill passed

TRENTON, Jan. 2S. 1S92.-The New Jer-
sey Historical Society met in the Supreme
Court room at the State House yesterday.
The subject of a suitable building in
which the records and relics of the society
could be safely kept called forth lively
discussion. Cortlandt Parker, Jr., said
that the society was sadly in need of such
a building. He said New Jersey had Il
remarkable history, and one of
which any State in the Union
might justly be proud, but that there
was no proper place in which to keep her
historical papers. A building suitable
for their purposes could be erected for

NEWARK VILLIANY.
Mr.. Barrett Attempting to Repeat
the Trier Act on the Water Bill.
Special to the Jerseu city Ne,es.


TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1s92.-Just as the
Senate was about to adjourn yesterday
noon Senator Hudspeth raised a brisk
breeze over his bill, which seeks to give
Jersey City a supply of pure and whole
some water, by condemning the
surplus waters which Newark cannot use.
but seeks to control in the interest of
gang of water thieves known as the East
Jersey Water Company to the detriment
of Jersey City and other portions of the
State.
The bill was introduced a week ago
Monday, and referred to the Committee
on Municipal Corporations, of which Mr..
Barrett is Chairman. Mr.. Hudspeth
asked Mr.. Barrett what had secome
of the bill, and Mr.. Bar
rett replied that he was not
ready yet to report it. 1t is the custom
of the Senate that no bill is printed until
it has been reported. Mr.. Hudspeth,
however, introduced a resolution provid-
ing that the bill be printed.
Mr.. Barrett protested again the adop-
ton of the resolution with all the fire and
eloquence at his command. but in vain.
The resolution was adopted.
The advocates of tine bill are filled with
encouragement. as this victory augurs
the passage of the bill through the SEN
ate There is hardly any doubt that it
will pass the House, and the prospects OF
its becoming law are bright.
JUST LIKE TRIER.
Mr.. Barrett was subsequently asked to
produce the bill in order that it might
be printed in accordance with the reso-
luton. The young statesman from
Essex replied that he had
not the bill upon his person.
The JERSEY City members are not going
to have any of Newark peculiar methods
of smotheriug bills put in operation in
the case of this measure, and if the bill is
not forthcoming Monday night there will
be something worse than an ultimatum.
