BALLOT AMENDMENTS.
Peculiar PhraseOlogy-County Reg
istrar Blacks Views on the
Subject.

A strange legal blunder has been dis
covered in the election law of 1891, which
amended the so-called Ballot Reform Act
OF 1890. The blunder is in Section No. "a.
as amended in 1891 The process says
That none of the provisions of sections CO. 21 22
and % shall in any manner apply to or affect any
such municipality which. by the last preceding
census contain ed population OF not less than
1900 inhabitants. Section so further exempts
the same cities from the provisions OF all that
part of the law from sections 20 to 40 inclusive
The intention of the persons who
drafted was that it should not apply to
cities of less than four thousand in
habitants.
The peculiar phraseology of the amend
ment, however, shows that 1t applies only
to those cities of less than four Thousand
Inhabitants, Instead of to cities with not
less than four thousand inhabitants
which was originally intended.
Charles 9. Black, of the County Board
of Registration, had his attention drawn
TO the peculiar wording of the law by
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter.
"The peculiar wording OF the law
said Mr.. Black, attracted the attention
of the County Board of Registration.
The Law, is full of difficulties. uncertain
ties and incongruities, but the intent OF
the law is so clear that / doubt IL any
court would hold a case to the strict word
ing of the act. The intention of the Legis-
lature WAS perfectly clear and although
the law is SO worded that elections would
not have to be held under it. doubt il
any Court would sanction such action.
1.-THE law was intended to apply to
cities like Jersey City and Newark, and
everyone knew it then and knows it now.
The drafters of the bill became confused,
in all probability. The law was intended
to relieve small cities.
1.-THE law is muddled; everyone ac-
knowledges that, but it can be easily
remedied."
Would you favor the passage of re-
vised ballot reform law?" / asked.
81 would" said Mr.. Black, land If care
fully prepared it need have no flaws and
would be SO worded that it would show
at a glance that the law was to affect
large cities, where corruption is apt to be
found"
The present Legislature will probably
either remedy the old law or pass a new
act,

FORTY-TlYR WARRANTS.

Office Today.

The Situation at Justice Lockwood's
Office Today.
Justice Lockwood and Constable" Jack"
Graham were holding a whispered con-
versatiou when l entered Justice Lock
woods Office this morning. Both men ap-
reared excited about something, but when
asked if they were becoming frightened
over the outlook of the Gutenberg race
track fight replied in the negative.
The direct cause of their excitement
subsequently learned was the fact that
then had both been subrwnaed to appear
before the Grand Jury this afternoon at
two O'Clock. All the constables who are
serving under Graham have also been d1-
rected to appear before the Grand Jury at
the same time. Why they have been
subppnned they pretend not to know,
but ex-Judge Plalr has been dodging in
and out OF Lockwood's office for the pur
pose of examining complaints and assur-
ing the consta bles that the course they
pursued was lawful and right.
Lockwood is not over positive that
everything is as it should be, and he
rather fears the result of his actions.
MIR. John G.. Carr, one of the executive
committeeman of the track against whom
a complaint has been made, appeared be-
fore Lockwood at ten O'Clock this morn
ing and gave bail in the sum of $500. Mr..
lanes j. Waters became his bondsman.
No arrests will be made at the track
today. but Lockwood has forty-Ave war
rants prepared for service us soon as he is
direoted to move. He expects TO have at
least one hundred more complaints be-
fore him by Thursday.

PRINCETON. Jan. 10, 1892. general
mass meeting of the college was held
last evening to consider the advisability
of organizing cooperative university
eating club in University Hall.
About five hundred students were

after which the meeting was addressed
by DR.. j. o. Murray, the dean of the
college; Professor William McSloan and
Professor Libbey, all of whom heartily
indorse the scheme. The plan will go
into effect as soon as it is made evident
that about two hundred students will
support it.
There was great excitement in the
meeting Hats were thrown up and
cheers given. President Patton also In
dorses the plan.
The suject of having a university crew
at Princeton was also discussed at some
length at the joint meeting of the Gradu-
ate, Advisory and Executive Committees.
The question was pretty fully considered,
but no action was taken in the matter.
Those present decided to leave it over un-

SCHOOLS In BAYONNE.
Miss Davies Had Holes in Her Dress
and Allowed Leapfrog.

The Bayonne Board of Education held
lively session last evening. The first
gingery debate was precipitated by re-
port from the Committee on Schools,
agreeing to the report of Superintendent
Davis that Miss Josie NJ. Davies. q
teacher in School No. G., is incompetent
and recommending that she be dismissed.
Trustee Humphreys dissented from the
report and insisted that this action was
unjust to the young woman, He insisted
that the testimony given before the
Committee by Principal Ebenezer G.
Esrl was rather favorable to Miss Davies.
Trustee Robertson insisted that the
Board should stand upon its dignity and
make the dismissal. inasmuch as Miss
Davies and her father virtually defied the
Board to remove her. He spoke of the
young woman as being ''slouch" in her
attire, having worn In the schoolroom
dress containing fifteen holes, counted by
a visitor. and not decently fastened. He
also said that she had no discipline over
her pupils. who played leap frog in tn e
classroom and otherwise misconducted
themselves during school hours.
Trustee Hickey aroused another breezy
discussion by introducing resolution to
ascertain the responsibility for changes
made in the official minutes of the meet
ing OF December z. as printed in the offl-
cidl newspapers. He said that report
from Superintendent Davis, announcing
the incompetancy of Miss Davies and
recommending her dismissal had been
purposely omitted through the impudent
action of some unauthorized individual.
Trustee Robertson admitted that he was
the culprit@He had inadvertently read
as part of the report q private letter from
uperintendent Davis to Trustee Edwards
and when he ascertained the fact had re-
quested the editors of the local papers to
omit the matter. Trustee Hickey rebuked
Trustee Robertson severely for his as
sumption in altering the record, and after
getting the desired information Withdrew
the resolution, leaving Trustee Robertson
in a dazed condition of mind.
