said he introduced the bill in the interests of
the people.
He said he had attended to his business
while in Trenton this winter while the gen
tleman from Hudson had done things which
he ought not to have done, n Mr.. Flynn
proceeded to specify in q manner which no
gentleman world resort to even il his allega-
tions were true. He spoke with much vehe-
menco and before he got through sounds OF
~disapproval were heard all over the House,

with his gavel.

quiet, easy way, us he proceeded to reply. 81
could look for just such an attaek as this
from the gentleman from Passaic. Last
week he called me a trickster and nov it is
something else. Well, all have to say is
that assaults by such a nan as Flynn and his
me too from Camden fThompson), serve
only to make a man more popular. | will
not dignity his allegations by replying to
them specifically. What / said was in the
interests of the people and against corpora
ton grabs
Mr.. Storrs vigorously attacked the bill
which provoked Flynn's assault on Mr.. Nc
Evan. He was supported by Mr.. Lewis,
who said that it would be an outrage to
take from the people the meagre right that
other legislators. had left them. 1t was
claimed by Mr.. Storrs that the object of the
bill was to take litigation out of the courts
SO that corporations could lay tracks over
disputed streets on Sundays and holidays.

ton of the bill went over.
1t was discovered, after the adjournment
last week, that the police justices bin for

and almost ruined the object which it was
intended to attain. So, last evening, Mr..
Storrs introduced a bill remedying the de-
fects, which was rushed through the House
under a suspension of the rules.
