House Passed and Rejected.
Specfdl to the JERSEY City Neirs.
TRENTON. Feb. O., 1S92.-'"The Funniest
Show on Earth" as the bills designated
the performance mt the Opera House last
night, was not sufficiently attractive to
keep the throngs from the State House
and the galleries of the Assembly Cham
Der were packed. The Hobbies were also
crowded and many faces we'll known in
Jersey City were seen there. Aside from
the debate on the Library bill there WAS
little interest for q Hudson County man
in the proceedings. The bill giving the
consent Of the State to the erection of a
bridge across the Delaware River was
passed, also the bill making compulsory
the teaching in the public schools of the
effects of alcohol and narcotics upon the
human system.
GRAND JURY PAY.
The bill to repeal the law of last year
giving grand jurors So per day, came up
on final passage and created a stir. IL
was supported by Potts and Lane and by
Cole, Beekman, Hutchinson u Nash.
The most enjoyable feature of the scrap
WAS the e%ffectual manner in which Mr..
Potts sat down upon Cole. The bill was
lost by II vote of IL to 3S.
The bills, providing that In makineAs-
sessnients for XeS the assessor must de-
scribe the property BY block and lot
number on city assessment maps, pro-
vidiug pensions for the widows u
orphans of members of the Hoboken Fire
Department., and f%orbidding a Justice OF
the Peace to lave his Office in the same
building with an Attorney at Law all
passed.
THE SENATE.
The session of the Senate was short
and uDeventful. The bill empowering
the governing boards OF second class
cities to designate official newspapers by
resolution and that providing for the pay
menJ of travelling expenses of County
Superlntendents passed to a third reading.
The bin providing for the establishment
of excise city boards also was passed.
THAI G~REBNvILLE STATION HOUSE.
The bill providing tina the Police Com
missioners of Jersey City should build a
new station house in the Greenvilie sec
ton, which President Feeuey of the
Board succeeded in having passed, was
recalled from the Governor. Some sur
prise was expressed over this. but an in
vestigation showed that it was only
another illustration of the Governors
safe flnanciering and far sighted,
ness. The Governor had refused
had made up his mind that he would ap-
prove no more bills of this nature unless
they contained a clause providing for the
creation of a sinking FUND for the pay
ment of the bonds upon which the money
to be expended is to be raised. Mr..
Feeney's bill will be SO amended and
will then no DOUBT become a law when
Greenville will have "a model station
house.

George S. Duryea WAS nominated by
the Governor to succeed himself as Com
missioner of Bank and Insurance Com
panies. Wilson Teuseman was appoint
ed Common Pleas Judge of Atlantic
