Special to The JERSEY City Neaus.
TRENTON. Feb. Is, 1S93.-Mr. Carroll in
troduced a bill yesterday afternoon
which, in the light Of the caucus held at
noon, appears rather peculiar. to say the
least. The bill provides that the Police
Commissioners in cities of the first
class shall be appointed by the
Mayor and confirmed by a two-thirds
vote of the Board Of Aldermen. This
course of Mr.. CarrolIs is considered by
some q direct challenge to the Governor
and the majority to fight. The Governor
has declared that he will rot sign any
such bill, rs it accomplisheS directly what
he objected to in Senator Days Corpora
ton Attorney bill, which he COM
PEELED the introducer to Withdraw.
1t was only yesterday that the
caucus refused to put the
seal OF party approval upon a measure
which sought the same end, and there are
many who look upon the bill as an affront
upon the dignity of the House and Gov
ernor. This view of the situation has
aroused much Indignation among the
members of what Essex and Hudson
somewhat sneeringly call The rural coun-
ties, and the prospect of the bill passing
the House on third reading. not to meD-

LANE WORRIES THEM.
Mr.. Lane introduced a substitute for
his race track bill OF Monday night. which
the majority of the people here have not
determined yet to take seriously or jocose-
ly. The observation-disclosures from the orgi-
inal only in that il makes directors,
officers. stockholders and Others inter-
ested in any corporation which vio-
lates the act, Individual liable. Mr..
Lanes real reason for the substitute
was to get the bill away from the NUM-
cipal Corporations Committee, where he
felt certain it could not live. The
substitute went into his own committee,
that on Corporations. whence 1t will soon
emerge, clad in all the armor Of a favor
able report.
The truth is Mr.. Lanes bill worries the
race track people. They are really afraid
of 1t and will give 1t a hard fight when it
appears.
Mr.. Thompsons refuses to discuss 1t. He
says he is in the Assembly to Legislate
for the good of the district he represents
aud not his own interests. lie didn't
know whether Gloucester and GQtten-
berg could fight the bill or not, and it was
far from certain that they would.
HARRISON AND KEARNEY.
Mr.. Coyle introduced the long looked
for bill consolidating Harrison aud
Kearney. 1t is about the same measur
that was Ia introduced last year and makes
a third class city out of the TWO towns.
The question of consolidation, however,
is to be decided by a vote of the legal
voters of the two places.

bills which provide for the enlargement
of the State Prison. They provide that
the State Arsenal shall be removed to
Sea Girt and the ground now occupied by
