They finally gave it up and went to

bed
Everyone talked of the organization
and the Senatorial election, and the opln-
ions that were delivered and the. wise
predictions that were made were simply
startling. One man had Adrain elected
President of the Senate and another had
him defeated, while the opinions as to the
election of the Speaker were as conflict
ing as the Board of Trades views on the
water question.
SENATE MATTER SETTLED.
The Senate matter. however, was set
tied beyond cavil early In the evening by
the caucus The Barker adherents
claimed that they had seven votes and
would make strong kick for recogni-
ton, but when the caucus met they went
in as quiet as lambs. Mr.. Barker noml-
mated Senator Adrain for President aud
he received all the sixteen votes. Then
this slate was made up:-Secretary, Samuel
C.Thompson of Warren; assistant Secre-
tary. William E Ross of Sussex; ;Engrossing
Clerk, John P.Flynn of Salem; Assistant,
John Monahan of Bergen; Journal Clerk.
George H. Coleman; Assistant. John
Mattison of Somerset; Bill Clerk, Henry
j. Earle of Passaic; Calendar ClerK,
Gande S. Robinson of Cape May; Ser
geant-at-Arm Michael Nathan of Hud-
son: Assistants, John w. Lancaster OF
Hunterdon and Edward r. Van Couver
of Burlington. The door keepers were
distributed among the Senators In this
fashion:-Essex 2. Monmouth l, Hunter
don 1, Middlesex l, Bergen l, Union l,
Somerset !, Cape May l. Senator Barrett
was chosen Chairman Of the caucus.
which makes him leader of the Senate.
Senator Winton acted as Secretary.
All the officers OF last year who were
reappointed were promoted except Mat
tison. He was Journal Clerk last year
and was put down peg. He is Senator
Keys's man, and as the Senator baulked
somewhat at coming into the caucus,
it was decided TO turn him down.
When he heard of it he rushed into the
caucus and made speech which secured
him this Assistant Journal Clerkship,
DoorHeeper and Page.
THE SPEAKERsHIP.
AS to the Speakership contest. 1t IS all
over but the count of the votes this after
noon, and Thomas Flynn wins in can
ter. Last evening Lane practically
acknowledged his defeat by withdrawing
from the contest. Mr.. Flynn received
ing the greater part OF the night,
and the sounds OF rejoicing
which proceeded therefrom could be
heard out on the street. Mr.. Flynn will
appoint Thomas f. Fitzgerald, the vet
eran correspondent, his private secretary.
Flynn is a strong Abbett man, and his Sc
| lection is taken as a victory for the Gov
ernor.
The Republicans will caucus tomorrow
and will give Maurice A. Rogers OF Cam
den the empty honor of a nomination for
President of the Senate. and Augustus Z.
Sruder for Speaker of the House. Barton
B, Hutchinson of Mercer will lead the
minority of the House.

TRENTON, Jan. 10, 1s93.-The great
Reading coal combine is broken. The
New Jersey Central Railroad Company
has Withdrawn from it and hereafter
will be operated independently. the same
as it was before the agreement with the
Reading & Lehigh Valley was entered
into. The authorities here decline to
speak about the matter. but an official OF
the Central this morning confirmed the
truth of the news.
He said that Attorney General Stockton
was in possession of a communication
from the Central. in which 1t Is acknowl-
edged that all its agreements with the
roads In question are cancelled and ter
minated. This applies also to the leases
under which the coal lands were recently
absorbed by the combine. What inf1u-
ences moved the Central to take this step
are not known, but undoubtedly fear of
action on the part OF the Legislature had
something, If not all to do with it,
1t is also stated that the Jersey Central
has not only cancelled its agreement with
the Reading lease OF its coal lands. but
has resumed independent action on the
sale fixing prices of its own coal.
William Y. johnson, the Assistant At
torney General Of New Jersey. last even
ing said that the report of the withdrawal
or the Central from the combine was
true. The Central has asked Chancellor
McGill for permission to prove this fact.

Gen tlen,en of the Senate and General Assembly,
In obedience to the requirements of the
constitution, herewith present to you my
annual message, showing the condition of
the state and recommending such measures
as 1 deem expedient.
Mesa free press., 1893-11-16

ALLUsIoN is mad.. i'm another
column to the communication from
the first auditor Of the treasury to
Delegate Mark Smith, with refer
ence to the introduction of a bill
transferring the jurisdiction CT In
dian cases from the territorial to
the United States court. This is
a change advocated by Governor
Hughes in his annual report and
ought to have suggested itself to
Mr.. Smith as an advantage to the
territory without nudge from the
department in. which. it would
greatly simplify matters. The
transfer of this particular class If
cases from the territorial to the
federal courts will relieve county
officials of great deal of RESPONSE
bility and the taxpayers of a great
deal of expense.-Republican.
