GETTING TO WORK.
Some Results Accomplished By
the Legislature Yesterday.
Special to The Jersey City Nerus

TRENT ON. Jan. 25, 1893.-The commit
tees stirred themselves during the roon
recess yesterday, and the House had
enoug to keep it going & up to five O'Clock.
A lar ge number of bills were advanced
10 the second and third reading. Mr..
Lanes bill, increasing the salaries of the
Vice Chancellors from $500 to $1,000.
was passed. While the matter was un-
der consideration, Mr.. Bake, the new
younP member from Atlantic, a rose and
said:-t would like to have your opin-
ality of this bill" rs
''Me9 My opinion on its constitL.t,oh-
alityS" exclaimed Mr.. Flynn in astonish-
meut. Pm no constitutional lawyer,
but I'll take the chances of its being all
right"
A general laugh followed, after which
the bill went through. There is some
doubt among some of the members as to
whether the bill is constitutional, as it
changes the salary of an official during
his term of office. MIR. Lane, however,
says the bill Is all right.
A POINT FOR PESHALL.
Max Salinger's bill providing that
person charged with murder must be
tried by 6 jury and not be perh.itted 10
plead guilty, passed to a third reading.
Mr.. Carrolps bill providing that all cleo
tric light wires shall be protected By in-
sulators. red in color, reached the same
stage. The Senate adjourned at one
O'Clock until today, and the House did
the same at the close OF the afternoon
session. A
AGAINST MORE OFFICES.
Some one went to Mr.. Hugh Kelly, OF
Hudson, Yesterday. and asked him TO ex-
plain the bill which he had introduced
providing for the appointment by tine
Board of Finance of a Superintendent of
heating aud ventilating in Jersey City.
The bill was introduced by MIR. Carroll,
aud Mr.. Kelly repudiated 1t most en-
phaticaliy.
II know nothing about it," he exclaim-
ed; Il did not introduce it and will not
introduce bill which creates a new
Office. don't believe in them"
THE MEADOW PIPE LINE
Mr.. Carroll says he will introduce an
amendment to the bill providing for tine
new pipe line from BeIleville to the reser-
vofr, cutting down the amount OF the ap-
preparation. He says that IS per capita Is
too much, but he is not decided yet at what
figure he will place it. His amendmen5 viii
meet with some opposition, as the Sc
favoring the bill say that that amount
was placed in the bill SO that sufficient
sum could be realized TO ensure the COM
pletion of the work at once. They argue
that the new pipe is an urgent necessity
and should be laid at once and the danger
of limiting the sum to smaller amount
than that named in the bill, is
that none of the bids may come
within the limits, in whicn
case, the work would have to be delayed
until the Legislature ineels year hence.
The fact that the sum is placed at S. per
capita does not necessarily imply, they
say, that the work will COST that amount
THE TEACHERS WANT THIS.
Mr.. Barrett secured the passage In the
Senate yesterday of bill which, if it be-
comes law, will bring down upon his
head the sweetest blessings of all the
pretty schtolmarms in Jersey City
and Newark. The bill provides
that warrants for teachers pay NAV
of compelling them to run around the
City Hall i'll search of their warrants,
while the smart young men in the various
depar tments make funny remarks about
them.
TO PROTECT COMMITTEES.
The taking of No. 13-the anti-Wanser
bill-out of the hands of the committee
yesterday before they had fairly seen it,
brought from Mr.. Wright, of Bergen, q
resolution providing that, hereafter, a res
olution relieving standing committee Of
the consideration of bill shall not be en-
tertained unless the House is given one
days notice of the same, The Speaker
ruled that the resolution was an amend
ment to the rules and referred it to the
Committee on Judiciary.
STATE PRINTING OFFICE.
Just as the House was about to ad-
Journ, the Speaker had read by the clerk
d communication from the Federation of
Trades. 1t asked the House to consider
the advisability of doing away with the
system of having tine State printing done
by contract and establishing printing
office under the supervision Of the State,
in which the rules Of the Union shall OBJ
tain.
