TRENTON, Feb. II, 1885,. True to the
announcement in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
yesterday, MIR. Hardin in the afternoon
introduced his resolution fixing March 4
as the date of final adjournment. Mr..
Hardin, Speaker Bergen and the other
dictators were almost astonished out of a
weeks growth when, instead of a resolu-
tion going through without the slightest
opposition, it was laid over until Monday
night by a vote of "a to H. Tom Flynn
led the revolt. The Sneaker had put the
resolution and was about to declare it
carried rs a matter of course, when Mr..
Flynn arose with Il motion to postpone
the consideration of the resolution until
Monday night. He said that he did not
think it was fair to bring forward he
resolution at an afternoon session on the
last day of the week, when many OF the
members were away. He declared that
a question of such Importance as the
resolution should be considered when
most all the members we're present.
Mr.. Potts seconded Mr.. Flynn's motion.
He said that it would be impossible to
get through In that time, and the effect
of the resolution if adopted would be TO
place the House at the mercy of the
Senate. Mr.. Ketcham also favored post
pOlcLlcHbs I1C SEOh0 VI VIC biclhCl Al
which matters were rushed through in
order to effect an early adjournment aud
he sincerely hoped that nc such indecent
haste would characterize the closing
days of the session. After some further
discussion the motion TO postpone pre-
vailed. This "pOStponement, it was said,
was in the interest or the race track
people. and those who are hoping the
l~iveliest for the success of Mr.. Parker's
bills effected to be much encouraged by
the vote. But unless something unfor-
seen. and much of the nature OF a politi-
cal earthquake takes place, the resolution
will be passed Monday night without
serious opposition.
HARD LINES FOR THE SOLDIER DOCTORS.
Mr.. Heaney had considerable trouble
with his bill providing for a medical de-
partment of the National Guard, separate
from the other departments, and estab-
fishing the rank of the members. The
bill was a gre t pet of Mr.. Heaney,
he wanted it to pass in the worst way.
Many think, however. That his zeal has
given the measur a black eye. When
he called it up yesterday morning many
of the members wanted it's consideration
postponed until Monday night, when
there would be more members present.
Mr.. Heaney objected. He said he was
willing and ready to eXDlaip the bill, sec
ton by section, and insisted upon its be-
ing considered then. During the discus
sion on the question to postpone, Mr..
Hardin said that the colonies objected to
the h i'll and so did the Military Board OF
the State. Mr.. Potts said he represented
the captains and Iieutenants, and Mr..
O'Neill said that he spoke for the private
soldier, the frank and file." The further
consideration of the bill went over to
Monday night. cit is not probable that
the bill will pass. When spoke to Adju-
tant General SJryker about it he laughed
and ridiculed the measure.
STIRRING UP A COMMITTEE.
Mr.. O'Neill went for his esteemed
colleagues" the members of the Com
mlttee on Corporations in the afternoon
at u sixty mile an hour gait. He in
troduced a resolution calling upon the
committee to report by Monday night
his two bills aimed at Industrial insur-
auce companies and his fire escape bill.
He laid particular stress upon the fire
escape measure and said that it was
greatly needed in Jersey City and had
been endorsed by the Board of Aldermen
OF that city. MI. O'Neill broadly in
timated that the committee was irving to
smother the bills. Mr.. Hardin objected
to considering the resolution in the b
sence of the chairman of the committee.
Mr.. Thomas Smith, and the whole matter
went over.
The bills passed yesterday afternoon
were those:-Allowing clerks of the Cir
cult Court to sign postea when the Judge
has died, applies to Hudson County;
allowing the consolidation of West
Hoboken; giving Investigating Com
mittees of the Street and Water Board
power to compel the production of books
and papers.
AS soon as the House adjourned yes
terday afternoon workmen began to
make preparations for putting the large
and gorgeous chandelier in place in the
Assembly chamber. 1t will be in place
by Saturday and on Monday night will
light the deliberations or the solons for
the first time.
