Pennsylvania Road.
Special to the Jerseu Citu Neacs
TRENTON, March s, 1693.-General
Sewell met. with the Republican mem-
bers of the Legislature, in the State
House last night and discussed the ques-
ton Of adjournment. General Sewell
was here all day yesterday looking
after the railroad bills which transferred
the fight between the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and the junction Railroad from the
courts to the Legislature. This, it will be
remetr bered, is the case in which the
wooden judges of the Court of Errors and
Appeals outvoted the law Judge. The
junction road seeks to go under the
Pennsylvania's tracks, just east of the
new round house. at Old Mount Pleasant,
so as to connect with Central and
Baltimore and Ohio TRACES
at Communipaw. The Pennsylvania
tried to stop it, but were beaten in all the
State Courts. 1t then went to the United
States Court, where the matter now is.
There are two bills in the Senate which
allowed the junction Road to proceed
with their tracks. The bill reported by
Miles Ross and the Lshigh Valley and
opposed by the Pennsylvania, the latter
wants amended SO as not to affect pro-
ceedings now in the courts. They won
the first victory Yesterday.
The bills were called up but were laid
over to enable the Pennsylvania to get in
the amendment 1t is said this A. NJ
that she was successful.

tee to which was referred Coyle's paro-
chial school bill reported it favor
ably this morning. Mr.. Wright pre-
sented a resolution asking the
opinion of the Attorn ey General as to the

gan and Mr.. Coyle opposed the resolu-
tt on claiming that there was no occasion
for such an opinion. Mr.. Lane said
th at it was generally known that the AT
5orney General had said that the bill was
unconstitutional and not worth the paper
it was written upon. Mr.. CoyIe sprang
to his feet and hotly declared
that that was not So. Mr.. Lane. with a
choking voice, said that was the first
time his veracity had been questioned. and
he reiterated that the Attorney General
had declared the bill unconstitutional,
and had told Governor Werts so. Mr..
Hutchinson favored the resolution,
which moved Mr.. HarrIgan TO
accuse him of bad faith in supporting the
resolution aud said he was trying to stir
up strife. Hutchinson Indignantly
demanded to whom the Essex man
referred and Mr.. Harrigan replied that
he meant the gentleman who SO ably
represented Mercer county. The
Speaker threw oil on the
troubled waters by suggesting
that the resolution be amended SO as to
request the Attorney General to
send in his opinion at once.
The Speaker said that could
not delay action on the bill. The speak
er's suggestion was adopted and the re-
solution passed..
