TRENTON, April II, 1s94.-Senate Bill No.
ISL, providing for a new Board Of Works in
Newark and Jersey City was the last, but by

About the Result.
Special to the jersey Cfty Nears.
TRENTON, April II, 1894-There was a
large contingent of Fourth Regiment officers
in the House last night. They came down to
see what they could do toward securing an
additional appropriation for their armory,
and in the party were Colonel Abernethy,
Captains Bruins and Matthews and Lieuten-
ant Broderick. The commandments,
however, was able to do more than all OF
them put together. He sen for Mr.. Lewis
the other day and advised him to consent to
an amendment which would allow Jersey
City an additional $40, 000. This, he thought,
would permit Jersey City to build her
armory of granite instead OF brick. Mr..
Lewis yielded to the Executives request and
last night introduced the amendment, The
bill with the amendment will probably pass.
Governor Werts has appointed the court
of inquiry to consider the charges brought
by Colonel Stevens of the old Second
Regiment and Colonel Barnard of the
old Fifth against Major-General Plume in
connection with the reorganization OF the
First Brigade. The court consists Of Cen
eral Bird w. Spencer, Inspector General of
Rifle Practice; General William G.. Heppen-
beimer, Inspector General n Judge Ad-
vocate General Meaney. Colonel Erlen-
koetter, who introduced the matter to the
Assembly, and pushed it along until the de-
sired result was reached, declares that he is
satisfied with the board, and thinks it will
do the disbanded regiments justice.

THE MILL GREEK SEWER.
Lehfgh Company objects to Hts
Emptying Into Their Basin.

[OSSA-s "
TRENTON, April II, 1s94.-Mr. Egan's
bill, which provides for the construction of
a sewer in the bed of Mill Creek and the
filling in of the creek, is to be amended.
The amendment is to provide that the sewer
SO constructed shall not empty into any tide
water basin and is to be made to please the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. The
,~ofiicers of the company pretend to have no
objection to the main features of the bill.
They say that they would be willing to have
the sewer built and the creek filed in, but
they would not consent to have a sewer
belch forth its contents into their tide water
basins just beyond the south cove. 1t would
create a great nuisance there, they say, and
declare that unless the bill is amended to re-
move this objection they would see that the
measure was killed.
Some people might be marc hearted and
optuse enough to declare that this objection
ruins the bill anyhow. They might go
further n enquire what good the sewer
will be in the bottom of Mill Greek, however
perfect it might be in construction If 1t Is
not going to empty anywhere. Again, they
might want to know how a sewer, emptying
into the basin, would pollute the crystal
waters and create a nuisance any more than
the creek does. which carries down and
empties into the basin now a large amount
of sewage. The matter has q peculiar
look, to say the least, and there are many
who say that this amendment will practi-
cally kill the bill. This the representatives
Of the company deny and say that the sewer
can be carried in pipes under this basin
across the long stretch Of land now occupied
by the Central Railroad out into the deep
water of the bay. This, of course, would
cost a large sum of money, and even II the
pipes were carried across thsy would con-
stantly be in danger from vessels anchoring
in the basin or from the dredges which are
at work there most of the time. The COM
pany's people further say if that plan is pot
feasible the Mill Greek sewer3 could be con-
nected with sewers in Grand and the other
streets which cross the creek at right angles.

provided that the Governor should appoint
five persons commissioners to visit and ex-
anime any Of the intermediate ~reforinatorles
in other States and make report to the Gov
ernor as to the best institution and system.
The act further provided, that the commits
Sioners should'Select from any fund a suit
able site or otherwise should select one else
where. They were also authorized to en-
ploy architects and to procure plans and de.
signs for a reformatory. with q capacity or
not less than Ave hundred prisoners. The
commissioners were directed to report to the
Governor the plan, in their opinion, best
adapted to the purpose, with an estimate OF
its probable cost. which plan and estimate
the Governor should report to the next Leg
stature.
"a commission was appointed under the
act, consisting of Charlton Lewis, Patrick
Farrelly, David U. Chambers, Ira Otterson
and Robert w. Elliott.
'The commission discharged the duty as
signed them in a very thorough manner.
Their report was submitted to the Governor
under date of April 81, 1890, and was by him
transmitted to the two Houses of the Legis-
lature, by special message dated April s,
1890. | herewith enclose a copy of that re-
port, by reference whereto 1t will be seen
that the matter of a State reformatory has
received very comprehensive and exhaustive
treatment.
"Among other things, the commissioner
report that the Edgar farm, owned by the
sinking fund, at Railway, Union county. Is
a suitable site and better adapted to the pur-
pose, than any property offered by private
owners. They also submitted plans for the
structure, of which they commended and eS-
timated the cost at $500, 900.
sTo their report, they appended the draft
of a bill, providing for the erection of o re-
formatory on the Edgar farm. The Edgar
farm comprises about 125 acres, and is still
owned by the sinking fund. l presume the
bill pending in the House of Assembly was
tiers herein stated.
II AVE accordingly thought proper to
transmit this message to your honorable
bodies, in order that the subject may be con-
sidered with reference to what has hereto
fore been done. 1t would seem to be all
sufficient to enact the draft of the bill sub
United by the commissioners, making such
changes therein as may be deemed proper,
having regard at all times to the financial
situation Of the State.
Respectfully,
GEORGE T. WERTs."
The following resolution on the same sub
ject by Mr.. Lewis, was accepted
"Resolved, That whereas. it has been al
legged that the State Prison has not sufficient
accommodations for the prisoners sentenced
to penal s%ervltude; be 1t
"Resolved, That the Committee on State
Prison be instructed to ascertain the require
ments of that institution In the matter of
larger accommodation, and to report the
same to the House, by bill or otherwise, as
to them may seem proper"

ANOTHER DEAL TALKED OF.
Depue to BE Rejected and Ex-senator
Grlggs PLACED ON the Bench.
Snecid1 to The .Ic1Sen 9th NRtS.

Special to the Jersey City NeuS.
TRENTON, April II, 1894.-Both the Re-
publican and Democratic Senators held
caucuses last evening. The Republicans met
in the Presidents private room and the
Democrats in one of the cloak rooms. Both
were in session at the same time, and that
fact would not lave been SO significant habit
not been for a peculiar circumstance. The
Democrats had not been long In their room
when Senator Winton emerged therefrom,
and, going to the door of the Presidents
room, knocked. Senator Stokes immedi-
ately appeared, and the two held d
short conversation. Then they disappeared
into their respective caucuSes. This pro-
ceeding did not attract attention until it
had been repeated several times with an
appropriate amount Of mystery. This started
inquiryAs to its cause, and it was said that a
peculiar deal was on foot. Friends of ex-
Senator John Griggs of Passaic were trying
to secure the rejection of the nomination Of
Justice Depue to succeed himself upon the
Supreme Bench. in which case the Governor
would nominate Mr.. Griggs. The Republic
rams, it was said. were sounding the Demo-
Gratis to see how they would take the propo-
sition. though why they should be anxious
to learn the Democratic position in
the premises when they had enough votes to
confir1nfdid not appear. 1t was argued by
those who opposed Judge Depue that he is
getting old, and that it was time to have
younger blood upon the bench. The Demo-
crafts expressed themselves favorably to Mr..
Gfiggs' nomination if it should come before
the Senate, but they did not say much about
rejecting Judge Depue.
The republicans were in caucus over an
hour, and discussed the nomination of Major
Andersoafor Supervisor of the State Prison.

Senators Skirm and Ketcham. Then there
was more talk and the old arguments which
have been published were advanced, Another
vote was taken, and this time the opposition
was reduced to Senator Skirm. All induce
ments to make the Mercer Senator change
his opinion failed. He said that his con-
stituents were against Major Anderson, and
be could not vote for him. The caucus broke
up, and Major Anderson's nomination went
over. So did that of Judge Depue. This
was done, it was said, because his name was
in the envelope containing that of Major
Anderson, which had not been opened.
