Tumilty, Police Commissioner Kelly and
other shining lights OF Jersey City
ranged themselves about the Speakers
throne and Senator Daly's desk. all
ready to participate in the fountain OF JOY
which was about to squirt for them.
The fountain spurted but it was gall
AS soon us uhe Presidents gavel fell.
Senator Barrett moved TO adjourn and
the President declared the motion
carried.
Davis countenance was a study. He
sat on the pedestal, motionless, as though
red by turns. Finally he said something
to Adrain, who exclaimed
'Well, l don't propose to stand here
like II fool all day trying to get your bill
through. had it up Tor yon this morn
ing and DAILY had it put over"
A RATIFIED GANG.
Billy Cook was in that condition the
boys designate by the term wild. He
hotly snapped at Barrett. who came UP
to the Presidents desk, and told him to
wait until his electric syndicate came up
before the Jersey City Board of Works
for an electric franchise; they wouldn't
get blank thing. The Essex man had
electric road and now he wanted to turn
II udson down.
Then Barrett warmed up. He turned
op Cook and savagely said:-
'sSee here, you can't make any votes
here for your bill by any such talk as
that. You can't own the Legislature and
there is no use of your trying. Nobody
is afraid of you and you can't bulldoze
anyone here"
WHAT'S THE MATTERs
Miles Ross stole among the group and
wanted to know what was the matter
Davis accused him of bad faith and
Miles asked him what he was talking
about. He wanted to know IL the bill
could not be passed over the veto tomor-
row just as we'll. Davis said it could, but
it would have to lay over day i'll the
Assembly and the Legislature was going
to adjourn this week. Ross said he didn't
think there would be any adjournment
until next week and there was plenty Of
time to pass the bill yet.
TREACHERY AHEAD.
Davis would not be placated and went
away muttering about the next House
being. Republican. and those fellows
would see.
Billy Cook said great deal about the
Senator from Essex which was not
altogether complimentary and Eddie
Dugan put on his nice new mackfntosch
and hurried home in hopes he could get
up to the Gut" before the racing was
over because he had good thing there.
DAILY was one of the widest of the gang.
He had heard that the adjournment was
about to De sprung at the dlctation OF
Miles Ross, and he was on his feet to
stave 1t off when Barrett made his mo-
tion. He shouted 'Mr. PRESIDENT" very
often and very loud. out it did him no
good. He was angry, and he took no
pains to conceal his anger. He declared
that the Hudson men had been
cheated. He had helped pass the
hi llc nd nth ich
these men who were against them in the
Wanser matter wanted, and in return for
their staunch good faith. they had been
dumped by the very men Who had prom
Used TO help them. He said sixteen
Democrats were pledged by the caucus to
vote to pass the bill over the veto and it
would pass.
Daily was very sore, and undertook TO
bring Bob Adrain TO task for his share in
the snap adjournment. He said some
things which did not please Handsome
Bob" and that gentleman walked up to
Davis Senator and asked him what he
meant. in dangerous way. DAILY modi-
soon the two were talking amicably to-
gether.
MILES ROSS DID 1T.
1t appears that the adjournment was
really brought about by Miles Ross. The
Governor won't sign Ross rail

tion Railroad to depress, elevate
or do anything else 1t pleases, with Jersey
City's streets. and Ross wants time to
work up sufficient votes to pass the bill
over the Governors veto when it comes
ir.
By adjourning the Senate, this after
noon, he has ruined almost all chances OF
adjournment this week, and the Legis-
lature will remain here another week,
unless his opponents are too much for
hina.
KELLY'S BAD BREAK.
Smarting under the defeat of the
scheme to take from Mayor Wanser his
appointive power, Mr.. Hugh Kelly
vented his spite on the Speaker yesterday.
The Speaker had bill which increased
the salary of the Comptrollers of Pater-
son, which he was very anxious to pass.
He called it up and asked for a suspension
of the rules.
Mr.. Kelly objected.
The Speaker said he had done the men,
bers from Hudson many favors, and he
thought he might do this one for him.
"Tne Speaker has never done me a
favor and l never asked him for one,"
hotly exclaimed Mr.. Kelly.
"Oh, haven't, haven't 1?n said the
Speaker, In his calm way. well. that's
where the gentleman from Hudson and l
differ"
Mr.. Kelly subsequently apologlzed to
