RACE TRACK BILLS.
Banquo's ghost aint in it with the race
track bills, as Baron de Kalb. who prides
himself on his Shakespeare, would say.
phatic declaration of last evening, there
won't be any race track bills. that's the
edicl," they still bob up in way that
would make the ghost aforesaid turn
green with envy. 1t is low said that a
meeting of the representatives OF
the Clifton, Linden, Monmouth and
Elizabeth tracks will hold conference
during the week with Mr.. Thompson and
make another effort to agree upon a bill,
which will meet with the appreciation
of all interested. A we'll known lobby
ist told an interesting story last evening
concerning the disagreem ent between
the racing men. He said that Mr..
Thompson offered to secure the passage
of the bills and contribute onesxth of
i,,ni hor
the others would contribute the
remaining five-sixths. This the
Dryers refused to do, as they said it
was by no means certain that Mr.
Thompson had the requisite number OF
votes to pass the bills, as he claimed. ln
order to convince them, Mr.. Thompson
started out to corral his heep. In the
meantime some interested lobbyists had
been sowing the seeds of discomfort
among the flock, pointing out to them the
error of their ways in committing them
selves so early in the game, aud holding
up before their eyes in the most tempt
ing manner the great possibilities of Gne
game.
EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
The Senate adjourned for the week
after brief session in the morning and
the House did the same after a session in
the afternoon. Speaker Flynn kept urg-
ing the committee to report the bills in
their hands and his efforts bora some
fruit.
Mr.. Armitage's bill, which so ught to ex-
empt all mutual fire insurance companies
from the general fire insurance law.
struck some sQually waters aud came
near laundering. The majority of the
Committee on Banks and Insurance re-
ported the bill adversely and after some
discussion it was laid over until Monday
for further consideration.
Mr.. Thompson was much surprised
when he started in to count his aock TO
discover what luxuriant fruit the lobby
sts' sowing had brought forth, and It was
the gloom into which that discovery
threw him that caused him to promul-
gate his edic5 of last ev ening. Bets are
about even among the sporting men that
the bills will yet appear.

ICE ON TIE RIVER.

The thaw that has prevailed for the past few
days has brought with it large supply of the
thick ice from the upper Hudson to the shore in
this section. An ice field extends two hundred
yards out from the shore in this city. By the
action of the waves, winds and currents, they
have become piled upon one another, and cakes
forty feet square and fifteen inches thick are
common.

WILD RIDE ON A GREEN CAR.

The passengers on Bayonne car No. PAT which
arrived at the Junction at quarter to eight
o'clock last night, had a very exciting trip.
When the car reached Bramhan avenue, the
driver did not put on the brake, and the car
driver tried to stop it, he found the brake would
not work and as a blue line car was coming
down the Communipaw Avenue Hill, 1t looked
very much as though thore would be smashup.
The passengers, realizing that something was
wrong, became excited. The car was crowded.
The ladies screamed while the men rushed 10
the back platform and jumped off. The driver
of the blue car, however, stopped his car IN
time to avoid collision. ThesBayonne car rolled
on 10 the bottom of the hill.

NINE MEN FOR EACH COMPANY.

Superintendent Brown OF the Fire Depart
ment takes exception to the statement in yes
terday' Journal as to the cost Of substituting
permanent men for the present system of ''Buf-
faloes" or men-at-cal. He claims it will not
cost S53,OC0 per aunum, as stated, but only
S42,0U0 tho Journal calculator having failed to
deduct the amount of ST. 500 now paid. Super
1ntendent Browns estimate is made OF the
basis OF having nine men TO each company,
seven, in his opinion, not being enough to do the
work, as the engineers and stokers are requested
working at fire, be taken away from their
work. In Hoboken there are seven men to each
engine company, but in that city no more are
required. In Newark there are nine in most of
the companies and some have ten.
