favored having tho laws printed In pamph-
let form. Mr.. Harrigan suggested that the
bill be laid over in order to amend it SO that
''scab' newspapers should not be designated
to print the laws. His motion to postpone
was lost. In his opposition to the bill Mr..
Hairigan paid a glowing tribute TO the New

in general, and made u violent attack on the
proprietor of the Newark Times, who, he
said. had boosted that be would spend $780,

Mr.. Clark wanted the rules suspended and
the Committee on Judiciary be relieved from
further consideration of bis bill, which
makes it unlawful to deny a man employ
ment ON account of his religion. His mo-
ton gave Mr.. Thompson al opportunity to
wipe the floor up with the A. p. A. He be-
came very much excited as he denounced all
such organizations, Language almost failed
to express his wrath and Indignation, and as
he went on hurting invectives against all
connected with the association, large beads
of perspiration stood upon his forehead and
glistened in the sunlight like the diamond on
his immaculate shirt front. His e~loquence
was In vain and Mr.. Clarks motion was de-
feated. Mr.. Clark then gave notice that he
would renew his motion today.

TRENTON, May is, 1s94.-Mike Nathan Of
Jersey City, who, according TO his testimony
before the Supreme Court took it upon HIM
self to keep the Republican Senators out Of
the Senate Chamber during the stormy
times Of the organization, is very much
surprised that the Republican Senators have
refused to pay him for his ofdciousness.
Nathan was Sargeant-at-Arms of the Senate
of last year and he wanted $500 for his SER
vices in staggering about the Senate Cham
Der in the early days of this session and tel
ling every one what a great man he is.
William Pintard, Private Secretary to SEN
ator Adrain when he was President of the
Senate, valued his services in coming here
once or twice a week and helping adjourn the
Democratic Senate at the modest figure OF
$3.50. The various sdoorkeepers, clerks and
Jerry Cornell, the solitary page, who at
tended the few wants the Democratic SEN
ators had, were willing to take from 500
to S75.
t8The Republican Senators held a conference
last evening at which these modest demands
were brought up.
They won't get a red cent" declared
President Rogers, emphatically.
"Amen," chorused the others.
"Ain't it about time we were doing some
thing for our counsel in the quo Wds7Gato
proceedings said one Senator.
81 don't believe they'd take a cent" re-
marked Mr.. VOORHEES,.
Most of the Senators agreed with Mr..
voorhees,. but a committee was appointed to
get up some sort of a testimonial to the
lawyers.
The Senators agreed not to fix a day posi-
lively for final adjournment until they had
passed all their partisan bills, including SEN
ator Voorhees, County Court bill. There
was a general understanding, however, that
the Legislature must wind up this week.

Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night
Positive of Victory.

The Early Closing Association of Jersey
City met last evening at Humboldt Hall
Long before the hour for opening, the hall
was densely crowded. Seven local assem-
blies of the Knights of Labor were repre-
sented, together with District Assembly No
1877, which was represented by A. J. Zoller,
Recording Secretary. At half-past eight
o'clock President Cole called the meeting to
order. He addressed the members, and
among other things said
Ar Interview appeared in one of the Jer-
soy City newspapers some days since be-
tween a representative OF the paper and tho
manager of one of the large houses O n New
ark avenue. No doubt you all have seen it
and the remarks therein, where the man
ager of this business house said they were
not in the way of early closing. We placed
the interview at once in the hands OF our
Press Committee, who replied to it through
THE JERSEY Cry News, which reply you
have all read, and which have removed all
doubt from the public mind of what cur
position has been, and what our demand is.
Now, this house was a stumbling block we
cannot deny. But it has undergone new
management and it now remains for you to
say what our position shall be towards il"
a. J. Zoller, Recording Secretary of D. A.
1917, K. of L., next addressed the meeting.
He said, "Shorter hours is one of the foremost
planks in the constitution of the K. of L.,
and an injury to one is the concern of all.
You nave an injury. 1t is our injury.
You nave q grievance 1t is a grievance of
the Knights Of Labor. You nave the sup
port of every true member of the order In

TRENTON, May 10, 1S94.-Governor Werts
will go down to history as the veto Gov
ernor. He sent another bill to the House
yesterday afternoon with his objections
thereto. 1T was House bill 8s, which repeats
the act under which special detectives are
appointed By Prosecutors If the Pleas in
counties with a population of between Sc, 600
and $4,000. He says no provision is made
for any person or persons to perform the du-
ties now performed by the present detectives.
The concurrent testimony Is that the present
officials have proved valuable and efficient
aids to the administration OF justice. Their
compensation is limited. The repeater will
entail serious detriment to the proper en-
forcement of tho criminal law i'll those coun-
ties. As a matter of economy it will prove
mwise, because the services now performed
will probably be provided for hereafter by
Boards of sFreeholders at increased cost.
The veto, under the Constitution, was laid
over for one day.
The House took up the bill providing that
writs, process, etc, may be served On
foreign corporations on legal holidays. II

GENERAL sEWELTs LUNCHEON.
1t Prevented Action on a Pennsy
Railroad Bill.

Special to the Jersey City Meas
TRENTON, May 10, 1s94.-General Sewell
gave a luncheon yesterday noon to the mem
bers of the Legislature, and everyone else
who happened along. The General is far
more Democratic in his hospitality than he
is in his politics, and no one ever goes from
his door hungry or thirsty.
The reception had q tendency to delay
matters somewhat in the afternoon, and it
was late before either House got to work.
During the session the House took up the
measure with the innocent title, HAn act to
authorize the Pennsylvania IL New Jersey
Railroad Company of the State OF New Jer-
sey to connect its railroad with the Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey Railroad of the State
OF Pennsylvania, but which in effect gives
the Pennsylvania Railroad the right to build
a bridge across the Delaware River some
distance above Camden City.
Mr.. Watson denounced the bill and said
that it would clog the Delaware at its busiest
part and form a serious impeachment to navi-
cation. He declared it was ridiculous to
construct a bridge from a populous point of
Philadelphia to the farming district of Cam
den county.
Mr.. Stecker said that Mr.. Watson was
Jealous because he could not get a bridge
across the river at Camden, and argued IN
favor of the bill.
.sThis is a corporation MEASURE shouted
Mr.. Carroll, '.and gives the Pennsylvania
Railroad a great privilege. That lunch at
the Trenton House was a very nice affair,
and has a great deal to do with this bill. |
know what / am talking about"
Mr.. Covle said that. although he had at
tended the reception and enjoyed himself, he
was going to vote against the bill.
Much talk followed about amending the
bill SO that pedestrians and vehicles could
cross the bridge as well as locomotives, u it
came to naught.
Mr.. Thompson made a strong plea for the
bill and said q great deal about che necessity
of bridging the Delaware at that particular
point. 1t would make a difference of>Afteen
minutes, he said, between Philadelphia and
New York. The bill was carried by AZ to IL.

and said the bread was bought from a baker
on Willow avenue. She explained that she
