rRoLLEY LINES RECEIVE A BLOW.
Gov. Abbott Refused to Sign the Bin 70
 IMRAlIxs Them.


 NEWARK, N. J., April 11.-Gov. Abbett, In disposing of the bills left in his hands, gave the electric car system of Newark hard blow by not signing the bill to legalize the trolley Esystem in this State.
 Several lines of the Newark Passenger Railway Company--those to Orange, to Irvington, and up Central avenue notably are operated by trolleys, and the poles that support the trolleys are between the up and down tracks and directly in the middle of the street. They are not only unsightly, but constant menaces to the life and limb of the unwary, and public sentiment has severely condemned the City Council for permitting the com pany to save 8 little money by placing them there.
 All the trolley-wire roads in the State, as we'll as this particular one in this city, are running in contravention Of law, and the problem that interests them is as to what they shall do to save their plants from destruction. They may, in the hope of delaying the necessity for taking down their center poles and wires, appeal to the Court of Errors. By the time a decision is reached they hope the next Legislature will be in session to give them relief.

THE FAIR APPROPRIATION.
Arguments Will be Made Why Congress
 Should Grant 66, ,OOO,OOO


 WASHINGTON, April il. - President Baker and Directors Odell, Winston and Butterworth of the Worlds Columbian Exposition will appear before the House of Representatives Committee on Worlds Fair tomorrow to show cause why Con gress should appropriate $5,OOO,OOO for the exposition.
 ''While we are in Washington, said MT. Baker, "I shall see the Coinage Com mittee and try to get them to recom- mend the issue of Columbian medal half dollar to be used for admission at the Fair in place of printed tickets. It would be less easy to counterfeit than tickets and besides would be valuable as a souvenir of the exposition. This issue would also relieve the silver question to the extent of about $10, ,000, 900, for we can easily use 20, OOO 900 of them.
 ''If they are issued we will buy them from the Government, have on sale at the regular ticket stations and make them the only ticket of admission to the grounds"

Walker has served seven terms in
the penitentiary for stealing horses,
but it appears that that is not enough.
He is notorious character, and
possesses shrewdness that has baf.
fled many a skilled detective.
The first horse Walker stole was
from the United States Army. He
brought the horse to this county,
sold it and then stole another here
and took it back to the army. From
that time up to the the present he
has been following the dishonorsble
business, and it has been stated by
men who know him well, that during
past twenty seven years he has
stolen over one hundred horses
