THOMAS RnODES'S STORY.

Going From Jersey City Boy, He Re-
turns y Man-His Parents Dead.
A man named Thomas Rhodes called
at Police Headquarters this morning and
asked the police and reporters to aid him
in finding his relations In this city.
Rhodes was born in Morgan street and
is now twenty-six years old. When he
was nine years old his mother sent him
to carry his fathers dinner to the Greene
street crossing of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, where he was employed as
fagman. Thomas was attracted
by target excursion and followed
the paraders on the Heights. Then a
milkman picked him up and brought
him to New York. where he was turned
over to the authorities, and by them
placed In the Catholic Protectory at
West Chester. He remained in this insti-
tuition until he was sixteen years old, when
be was bound to E. G. Clark. a butcher
in Honesdale, Pa. Ae remained with the
butcher two years and then he ran away.
Since then he has been tramp
ing around the country. He said
he was seized with a desire to
return home aud walked from Boston.
He arrived here two days ago to find that
his parents had died and he cannot find
any trace of his relations.

Commissioners elective. Mr.. Barrett de-
clared that there should be no further
waste of time; the people wanted tnls
measure and they ought to have IL; ne
urged that the roll should he called to
show who were for and who were against
home rule.
Mr. Studer. the Republican mem ber
of the Committee, SAID that he stood
ready at any time to report the bill. Mr..
Hutchinson twitted the Democrats on
their new zeal in the cause OF Home RULE
Mr.. Armitage said thas he wanted the
bill brought up on the floor OF
the House, and fairly considered.
He was present. he said, TO legls-
than for any party. Mr.. Harrlgan said
that he was glad that the gentleman
wasn't pretending to be acting In the
interest of the Democratic party. Mr;
kearns asserted that the bill was Iuil
of cruditIes. He favored the
election of Board OF works
Commissioners by the people
but he wanted that done by proper bill:
Mr.. Studer quoted from Governor Werts'
message in favor of self Governments. Mr.
Harrigan reported that it was funny to
see Republicans taxing their docGrine
from Democratic authority. He wanted
them to understand that Governor Werts
voted for the Board Of Works law
as it now stands. Mr.. Byrne wanted
to have the Commissioners elected. Dut
he thought it advisable to have perfect
bill. Mr.. Armitage mustered sixteen
votes for his motion. Mr.. Barrett and
Speaker Flynn were the only Democrats
voting with him. The roll call was Kept
up for half an hour on Mr.. Woolsey's 8
account. He had taken himself away
without permission.
THE NEW CITY HALL BILL
Daly's Senate bill, increasing the appro-
priation for the new City Hall for Jersey
City came up on second reading in the
House this morning. Mr.. Lane moved, !,
as an amendment, that the rate OF
interest to be paid upon the
bonds provided for in the bill
should be four per cent. instead of five.
Mr.. Carroll objected strenuously, saying
that Jersey City could not sell four per
cent. bonds. He questioned If any nun
icipality could. Mr.. Lane replied that
Newark had borrowed large amount OF
thought a municipality with Jersey
Citv's good credit could do The
same. That was lost, as was also
another amendment by Mr.. Lane liking
the rate at ~ per cent. Mr.. Sal
niger then moved that further
consideration Of the bill be deferred until
Modday evening, SO that the people could
be heard upon the bill. Mr.. Carroll re-
piled by mentioning long list of repre-
sentative citizens who were in favor OF
the bill All efforts to delay the measure
were unavailable, and the bill took Its
place on the calendar.

MRS. ROE'S HOUSES.

Low Cunning Alleged to Have Been Used
to Avoid Payment for Repairs.
Michael Casey and Counsellor William
M. Dougherty got a Judgment some time
ago against Mrs Anna D. Roe of New
York for $500 for repairs to several
houses owned by her at the northeast
corner of Ferry street and West
Newark avenue. Mrs. Roe engaged
ex-Judge William T. Hoffman TO reopen
the case on the ground that the jud kment
was surprise to her and that an alleged
fraudulent assignment of mortgage OF
S21, 900 on the property to Mrs. Dunning.
of New York was bona flde, and for
consideration. Mrs. Roe has been in
Chancery Court frequently in the last
few weeks, and yesterday afternoon her
case was called before Chancellor Nc
Gill. She is middleaged, of stalwart
figure, with very blond hair and an at
tractlve face. Chancellor McGiil re-
marked that low. cunning seemed
to have been used in the case.
He appointed ex-Judge William P.
Douglas as referee and allowed three
weeks for taking the testimony. The
mortgage of S21, 600 is about all the
property is worth. Costs of litigation
have brought the plaintiffs claim to
abont SO, 900. ~sssz--s -i.@' 2

SHOT AT 4 SNEAK THIEF.
Roundsman Hopkins Sent
Sprawling in the Snow
by a Prisoner.

Three we'll dressed youths were locked
up at Police Headquarters at noon today,
and there appears to be no doubt but
what they are professional sneak thieves.
They were detected entering an apart
ment house almost within the shadow of
Police Headquarters.
At one o'clock Policeman Coyne saw
the three men on York street. Their ac-
tions aroused the suspicion of the police
man and he watched them. They saw
him watching them and walked away.
At roll call, Policeman Coyne reported
the matter to Sergeant Coz and
sent out in citizens clothes.
They located the fellows at the corner
of York street and Van Worst place, but
they managed to slip the police. They
were next seen on Montgomery street,
right around the corner from Polics
Headquarters. Two OF them stood out
side Of McCarthy's apartment .house.
while another was mp stairs
at work. The two policemen grabbed the
ing Montgomery street with his prisoner,
the fellow put out his foot and
Hopkins went sprawling In a
snow bank. Hopkins quickly regaineu
his feet, however, and, pulling
his revolver, fred shor in the air, at the
same time ordering the fellow to halt.
Sergeant Cox, hearing the shot. jumped
fromlbebind the desk and rushing into the
street. grabbed the fleeing prisoner. The
trio were locked up.
They said they were Thomas Dixey, a
clerk of Newark; Henry Smith of Nc. 13
Second Avenue and James Hill of No. 342
East Forty-ninth Street. New York. The
police believe the names are fcticious.
The trio will be arraigned before Justice
O'Donnell tomorrow morning.

WEEHAWKEN ITALIANS.

They Assault Foreman of the Erie
Stock Yards.
The Hoboken police arrested four Ital-
ians at the lower ferry this morning on
information received from the Weehaw-
ken authorities. P. J.. Flanagan, of
Eighteenth street and Willow Avenue
is foreman in the Erie stock yards at
Weehawken. Yesterday he employed
four Italians to shovel snow. One OF the
men found the weather too cold and
knocked off work at noon without the
foreman's consent. This morning at
seven o'clock he appeared at work, BUT
Flanagan ordered him out OF the yards.
He refused to go. Flanagan attempted
to put him out, and was set upon
by the four Italians, who felied
him to the ground with blow
from shovel and would have seriously
injured him had not other workmen
hurried to his rescue. The Italians fled,
OF the four men arrested at the
Hoboken ferry one was recognized as
as one of the offenders. He gave his
name as giuseppe Sinopolo. He was
turned over to the Weehawken police.
The other men had not been captured at
noon,

FRoLICSoMH GEoRGIE BoUToN.
George Bouton was the next speaker.
He had not expected to be called upon for
speech; nevertheless. he had prepared a
few remarks, which he proceeded to
read. Mr.. Bouton was very funny-Mr-
Bouton's literary skill is noted-and he
said things which made everyone laugh.
He said he appeared before the commit.
tee on behalf of the Democratic party of
Jersey City The party did not ask for
reward or office, but they came as having
helped the party to win many OF It's Dat
ties in the past, when it would have
been defeated had 1t not been for the
Hudson contingent. They came in sack
cloth and ashes and as supplicanJs, asked
the committee to salve their wounds.
Mr.. Bouten likened the Democratic party
of the State to q wagon of which Hudson
County WAS the wheel. Unless the COM
mittee recommended the bill before IT,
the Democratic wagon would lose It's
wheels and become useless. He next re-
ferred to the elevation OF the common
enemy to the Supreme Court judgeship"
and asked II his crowd was worse than
the Republicans.
MIR. F. H. o'NEILL's PLEA.
City Collector p. H. O'Neill declared
that the Mayor had crippled his depart
ment. For nineteen years the Rspuo oil
cans had eleven Clerks in his office, but
now Mayor Wanser thought the work,
which had increased since then, could De
done by eight men. Mr.. ONelll also
waxed facetious as he proceeded, aud
said some things which must have
made Mayor Wanser's ears burn. He re-
ferred to the Mayors refusing to sign the
warrants of the poor laborers" and some
women and said that while the Mayor
was eating his Christmas dinner, these
poor men were hustling around TO nnd
bread for their families. The ridiculous
ness of this struck even the speaker, ana
he burst out into fit OF laughter In
which he was joined by the entire gather
ing. The farcicality of the whole scene
was overwhelming.
Norman L. Rowe was the next speaker.
He said that although there were only a
few present there were many more down
in Trenton who have come to demand
that the Legislature do something to re-
Aeve Jersey City. He eulogized the FL
nance Board and said that was the proper
Board to strain the unlimited power OF
the Mayor. The honesty and welfare OF
the city demanded such check. He spoke
the Governor and confirmed by the Sen
ate and claimed that the same principle
should be applied to jersey City.
FRANK MR.. TUMILTY.
Ex-Assemblyman Tumilty, who failed
to receive a vindication last fall, said that
he was one of the Assemblymen who
voted to make the Mayors term five years
and he had been sorry for it ever since.
Mr.. Tumilty claimed that the city wanted
many citizens had come to him and told
him they were sorry he was beaten for the
Assembly last fall. Mr.. Tumilty's re-
marks fittingly closed the hearing.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Bribery in Olden Times-The Plan OF
Representation

Bribery in Olden Times-The Plan of
Representation.
An interesting instance of political
bribery in England three centuries ago is
quoted by B. G. Skottowe in his s.Short
History Of Parliament. The passage is
from the will of country square from
Derbyshire, and was written in 1472:
Item, received los OF Bemont, wor-
shipful Squier of the West Country by
the hands of Page in the last Parliament.
did nothing there, and if I did, it is
against my conscience tor so moche as |
was one of the Parleament and should be
Indifferent in every matter of the Parlea-
ment, / will he have it ageyne."
This repentance could have found no ex-
cuss for venality in poverty. since no
squire could sit in Commons unless pos
sessed of landed estates to the annual
value of e2O-a regulation passed In 1880
by the House, when it determined TO Call
esquires, owing to the lack of knights, OF
whom alone this division of Parliament
at first consisted. The Lower House, this
valuable little book tells US, separated
from the Upper some time during the
middle of the thirteenth century, shortly
after the lower clergy, whom Edward I.
allowed to withdraw, they having always
shown a marked aversion to taking a
share in government.
The first Edward planned a perfect
representation of all classes qualified by
their education to serve, but England
proved incapable of carrying out his
scheme thus early in Its history; intrigue
and apathy worked together co give the
control of the elections into the hands of
the strongest or the richest, as they have
done since. BY 1880, among the lower
ranks all under forty-shilling freeholdefs
were disenfrapchised. From this time no
trace of the old folk mote from which the
representative government took its rise.
remained, AID for more than hundred
years the assemblage gathered at the
kings will and pleasure chiefly to grant
moneys to the crown, and almost never
to exercise any law-making functions.
The Bishops, as well as laymen. fell into
corruption; they all fawred upon the
royal favor, and membership fell into
such disrepute that representatives de-
manded wages from their constituents.
Phe modern Parliament owes Its exist
ence to Henry VIII, who first realized
how much power, in other directions
than in the getting of taxes, laid in the
hands of the peoples representatives.
After the fall of Wolsey the functions of
the Houses in the way of governments be-
gan to engage the members under the
Kings encouragement, and in the course
OF Mr. OkobboWeS CdieAul IeCoIu we oee
how the great institution of England
grew In Importance, until its power Is
such that according to Frederick Harri-
son "the House of Commons represents
the most absolute autocracy ever set up
since the French Revolution. Govern
ment here is now simply committee of
that huge Democratic club, the House Of
Commons, without any of the reserves or
power in the other parts OF the constitu-
tion which are found In the constitutions
OF France and America.
