ROAD LIGHTING BILL REPEALED
Passaic and Hudson Freeholders De-
nounced During Debate.

Special to the jersey CITY NetcS.
TRENTON, April 25, 1S94.-Some very hard
things were said last night in the course Of
debate in the House on Assemblyman Lewis
bill, 1888, which repeats the act requiring
freeholders to light public roads at a dis
tance of four miles from the county court
house.
From Mr.. Tours explanation 1t was made
plain that the measure was intended
specially for Passaic county. 1t would
affect Hudson county as well, however, and
q knowledge of this fact brought Mr.. Coyle
to his feet in opposition to the bill.
Mr.. McEwan pitched into the Hudson
Freeholders for awarding a bid tor boule-
ward work to a party for a sum higher, by
$4,000 in round figures, than the proposal Of
the lowest bidder. 1t was a notorious scan
dial, he said.
Mr.. Carroll lnterjected q remark to the
effect that the boulevard work had nothing
to do with a bill affecting lighting.
Messrs. Lewis and Storrs in advocating
the measure spoke of the indicted and con-
victed members Of the Passaic Board Of
Freeholders, and claimed that the right to
award such contracts should not be vested
in such men.
Messrs. Flynn, Coyle and Carroll opposed
the measure. Flynn explained that the in
dicted Passaic Freeholders were republicans.
"Republieans or democrats, they should
not have this power said Storrs.
There was a great deal more scandal talk
and the Passaic difficulty twas revamped
thoroughly. TIL bill was finally passed by
q party vote.

speeches should be limited to five minutes;
The first speaker, Cyrus Dietre, declared
that If some such bill as Senator Bradley's
was not passed the fish would soon disappear
from our coast, as nothing could escape the
nets now used by the pond fishers.
Ex-Judge Walling said that the bill had
been draw with malice aforethought, and
was evidently prompted by q ~prejudiee
against an ancient and honorable industry.
He opposed the bill because 1t would stop
pound fishing.
The fishing interests Of Atlantic county
were advocated by Harry HUM of Atlantic
county. The fish, he said, sought the es
tuaries Of the coast both Tor food Inc to
spawn, and while on their way to these
grounds they were caught by the pounds;
This kept them from stocking the waters OF
the inlets and rivers along the coast. Several
gentlemen spoke on each side OF the con-
trOVersV.

TRENTON, April 25, 1S94.-One of the most
noticeable things of this session is the more
than cordial relations which exist between
Speaker Holt and Thomas Flynn, e~x-Speaker
of the House. Mr.. Flynn receives more
consideration than any other democrat upon
the floor, and he often helps the Speaker out
of a Parliamentary hole. A good ~illustra-
ton of this transpired in the House yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Lewis, in the morning,
introduced a bill for a new board of works
for Paterson. 1t was reported and brought
up in the afternoon session. Mr.. Carroll
wanted it laid over. He called attention to
the fact that 1t had only been introduced In
the morning and denounced the proceeding
as r~ailroading legislation. He wanted the
bill laid over until 1t would be printed and
the members obtain some idea of what 1t
meant.
The earnest manner of Mr.. Carroll and
his vigorous protest had no effect. The rules
were suspended and the bill passed to second
reading. Mr.. Carroll then demanded that
the bill be read clause by clause, but MI.

TRENTON, April IS, 1894.-There was a
lively breeze in the Senate yesterday after
noon over the bill which ~appropriates sls,-
900 for the payment of Samuel B. Rose OF
Atlantic City, Henry c. Garrison of Sweeds-
boro and Captain John Graham of Jersey
City for their services in the Stuhr-McDon-
aid contest in 1890. Each is TO receive sSoO.
They were the sergeants-at-arms OF the In
v~estigating Committee. A. b. sharpe,
secretary of the Senate of 1890 is to get
$500. When the bill came up Mr.. DAILY
offered an amendment which provided that
w. H. Dougherty of Jersey City, who acted
as a sort of counsel for Stuhr during the
contest, be included for $3.50. Mr.. DAILY was
attacked with govt during the morning ana
had to have his foot attended 10 by q SUR
geon. It rested on a chair beside him, but
was so tender that he could not stand upon
it. Mr.. Adrain pushed his amendment for
him. The Senator from Middlesex in doing
SO said that in his opinion everyon con
nected with the case ought to be paid. M
Dougherty had acted as counsel land was en-
titled to his pay.
Senator Hoffman explained that he had
included in the bill only those names sent
ito him by Congressman Gardner, who was
|. Chairman of the Investigating
be had no nI0QLlOn OF dOHlltbiuS any OnS,
and he moved that the matter be laid over
untlI he could investigate the new claim. Mr..
DAILY said he would youch for the correct
ness of the claim.
Mr.. Winton was not ready to vote upon
the measure until he had learned something
more about the parties named in the bill.
He thought 1t strange that this bill should
come up four years after the investigation.
That was because party prejudice would
not paw them before, Mr.. Adrain explained.
He then vent into a long history of the case,
and said that as he was q member of the
committee he knew that the men bad faith
July rendered the services and were entitled
to their money.
Mr. DAILY then said that he would reduce
his amendment from $3.50 to $500, which
caused Senator Squirm TO remark that II
the Senate would wait a few minutes Mr..
DAILY would reduce the claim to $3.50.
Mr.. Hoffman said that Mr.. Abrams
statements were satisfactory and he would
withdraw his objections.
This brought the founder of Asbury Park
to his feet with an objection. He believed
that all such bills were fraud and he would
not vote for them.
what nonsense it Is to talk that way" said
Mr.. Adrain a scornful voice, 1.-THE Senator
from Monmouth is not the only honest MAJ
in the Home.n
sNo, Of course not, while you are here.n
replied Mr.. Bradley.
"Well, I'll soon be away from here and
then you can be all alone by yourself" was
Mr.. Abrams parting shot.
The Middlesex Senator hen made an
earnest appeal for the bill and Mr.. Bradley
opposed it. The measure finally went over.

NABBED WITH HIS PLUMBER.
A Bundle Leads to a Burglars
EsvnEf NM4

Arrest.
Yesterday afternoon while Sergeant Cox
and Detective Larkins Of the Seventh precinct
were walking on Bergen avenue near West
Side avenue, they saw a man drop a bundle.
Some BOYS picked it up and ran after him.
When he heard their running he started to
run, and Cax and Larkins joined the chase,
as did also motorman Putnam. The man was
caught after a short chase, and had on
three pairs Of pants and two over
coats. He had a bundle in
which were two shawls, some
dress goods, and a muller. When questioned
he said that he had bought the shawls and
other things from a man on Newark avenue.
Sergeant Cox took him to the Seventh pre-
cinct station house, where he gave his name
as Henry Williams, twenty-three years old,
from Cleveland, Ohio.
In one of the trousers pockets was a re-
| ceipted bill headed Edward Grimes, grocer,
No. $40 Grove street. Detective Larkins
went to Grove street n found that Grimes
| had been out of business thirteen months.
| He then went to Grimes house, No. 1877 Bay
street, and found that the name on the bill
was Fouhy, and the address No. 286 Wayne
street. At the latter address Larkins found
the house, the lock on the door broken,
and everything in disorder. He waited until
| Mrs. Fouhy came home, at six o'clock, and
| thew went through the house together.
| Every room had been entered, drawers ram
sacked, and even the mattresses had been
overturned in the burglars search for
| money, which he did not find. There were
missing:-Two pairs Of trousers, two shawls,
handkerchiefs, napkins, a gold watch chain,
two pairs of cuff buttons, two muffiers, some
| pieces of dress goods and some small articles.
All these things were found upon Will
Jams at the station house. He was arraigned
in the Third District Court this morning,
and still stuck to his story of buying the
| shawls, but admitted that he had stolen the
rest of the articles. The shawls were identi-
| fed by. Mr.. Fouhy as belonging to his
mother. Justice Kimmerly committed him
for the action Of the Grand Jury.
After court was adjourned, Touhy
went to Williams cell, and
while talking discovered that Williams was
wearing his Fouhy's) hat. He asked to see
it, and when he took it he found that Viii
hams had torn out the sweat band and lining
to keep him from Identifying it.

MOSQUITOES IN HOBOKEN.
4,OOO,C coo Passed Through Last
Evening On Their Way South.

Evening On Their Way South.
Mosquitoes made their appearance in Ho-
bokeH last evening. Between six and seven
o'clock a swarm of them passed between
Clinton street and Willow avenue, going
south. Many dropped by the wayside and
made themselves felt during the night, but
luckily the great majority continued in their
flight, and Judging from the rate they were
travelling must be many miles away now.
The mosquitoes sailed through the air about
fifty feet from the ground. They kept with
in about twelve feet of the rear of the Will
low Avenue houses, and were SO closely to-
gether that, looking from the street, it
seemed as If some vei[like material was be-
ing waited through the air.. They occupied
a space of about 140 feet by 300, equal to
5000 0 square inches. Judging the size of
the mosquitoes from those which alighted
on the window panes, they averaged in
length about a tenth Of an inch, or about $50
to each square inch. This would make alto
gether about 54,0o0,00o. The mosquitoes
| seemed to be of the ordinary Jersey variety,
| with well developed suction pumps.

TRENTON, April 25, 1s94.-Max Salinger
lost his temper yesterday and said some
things about Mr.. Flynn which caused the
Speaker'to sharply call him to order. Mr.. Sal
niger sometime ago introduced q bill giving
Lloyd's Insurance Companies the right tod
business in the State, and the Committee on
Banks and Insurance reported it adversely.
He moved yesterday afternoon that the re-
port be not concurred in, and supported his
motion in a rambling speech in which be ar
raigned the regular insurance companies for
their injustice and extortion.
Judge Cross and Mr.. Olcott opposed the
motion and claimed that the kind OF COM
panies which Mr.. Salinger's bill sought to
foist upon the State were unreliable and
"go-as-you-pleasen concerns which gull the
people and escape punishment because they
belong outside OF the State. Judge Gross
said Mr.. Salinger had been imposed upo
In supporting the committee Mr.. Flynn
said that the bill was the most ridiculous OF
the many ridiculous bills which Mr.. Sal
niger had introduced.
Mr.. Beekman secured the floor before Mr..
SaIinger, and said that this talk about the
interests Of the people made him tired. The
.'dear people" racket was getting played out,
and some of the loudest shouters for the
dear people were often found supporting bad
measures.
When Mr.. Salinger arose to reply he was
white with anger. In a trembling voice he
declared that he had been grossly insulted.
He wanted Mr.. Beekman to understand that
he had never yet introduced a bill in his own
interests.
Nor any one e~lse's,n exclaimed Mr.. Beck
man.
Mr.. Salinger then turned to Mr.. Flynn
and said that his calling was an honorable
one, and that was more than could be said
for the gentleman from Passaic.
s'The gentleman from Hudson will come to
order" shouted the Speaker, pounding the
desk.
sAnd I have always gone in honorable and
respectable society" Mr.. Salinger went on
despite the words of the Speaker, but at this
point several members sprang TO their feet
calling him to order.
SOh, let him go on" said Mr.. Flynn, when
quiet had in a measure been restored. II
am well acquainted with his past life, and
have been waiting for a chance to get at
him.
Mr.. Salinger, however, did not go on, and
a vote being taken, the committee was sus
tanned.

If Peter Lyons, who is ten years old, and
lives at No. AGO C~ommunipaw avenue, keeps
on in the way he has begun, he will be an
expert craftsman by the time he reaches his
majority. He had the honor, at least he
seemed to think it an honor, of being ar
raigned before Justice Kimmerly yesterday
on the charge Of breaking and entering
and larceny. Last Tuesday night the saloon
of Henry Rolf, No. AGO C~ommunipaw ave-
nue., was broken into, and bottles of soda
water, boxes of cigars and cigarettes were
stolen. The till was opened, but there was
nothing in it. There was no clue to the
burglars at that time, On Sunday night
Vincent Stohrs butcher shop on Jackson
avenue was also entered, and as there was
no money In his till the meat in the Ice
box was all hacked to pieces. Yesterday
Detective Hottie of the Fourth precinct
got a clue, and arrested young Lyons. He
was taken to the station house, and when
examined by Captain McKaig he cheer
fully admitted that he had broken into both
places with the intention of robbing the tills.
He talked in q perfectly unconcerned man
ner about it, and seemed to a K great pride
In his deed. He implicated another boy of
the same age, Emil Linskie. Of No. 8l6
Garfield avenue, whom he said he employed
to stand outside and "Holler cheese It'll when
de cops come along
He took great pride in telling how he pried
open the windows of Rohlff's saloon. The
mothers of both boys were in court
this morning, and after hearing
the testimony Justice Kimmerly dis
charged Emil with a warning. Lyons
mother seemed to be Indifferent
to her sons fate, and when the Judge asked
her If she would put him in an institution.
to keep him from being 9 to Jail, she
answered, "Well, / s'pose Ill have TO, If !
can't do anything else" and promised to put
him in some reform school in New York.
Before Lyons left the court room he said
that he had also been in the habit of
