ADRIAN IN A HURRY
The Senate got TO work at eleven O'Clock
yesterday morning, passed a few bills,
and then went home for the week. Ii
President Adrain had remained behind
half an hour or SO he would have heard
himself blessed most protusely in an adj
verse ratio. When the Senate adjourned,
he found he IA barely tiEae to catch mis-
train, aud he rushed ava without sign
ing the bills which had passed, Among
them were many measures which their
in%troducer wanted to have sent to
the House in the afternoon, and
rushed through that body: but as they
could not go without the Presidents sig
nature the i~ntroducers aforesaid We're
hopping mad. There was no help for it
aud all they could do was wait until
Monday ana say things about the Prest-
lent which Sammy Thompson says they
wouldn't dare say TO his face. Anon
The bills passed were House No. 104, pro-

The House made a similar arrangement
at its afternoon session and passed several
bills. MIR. Dittmar's measure compelling

his bill, which makes it unlawful for

without q license, in which he showed
how the industry OF ferreting out crime
in this State needed protection from
foreign labor. He got his hill through

HUSBAND N WIFE.
If the trials aud tribulations which Mr..

measure appeals strongly, to the gal

yesterday with a wont-you-try-a-pound-

emphatically.
When Uncle Harrigan, the Essex
veteran. was asked to vote for the bill, he
declined most emphaticaliy and declared
that 1t was q pity that such a nice young
man as O'Brieu should Introduce such a
measure and he would have to talk to
him about it. Mr.. G'Brien himself is not
