SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
Terms of Two Expire SOOn-The
Governors Position.
to the Jerscy City ",

Special to the jersey City NcHs.
TRENTON, Feb. 26, 1S94-The first effect
of the Senatorial deadlock will show itself
when the term of Supreme Court Justice
Magic expires ON Wednesday and his sue
cessor cannot be named for the present. The
Constitution requires that the appointment
must be made by the Governor and con-
frmed by the Senate, and the Governor can
not make an ad interim appointment.
Neither the Constitution nor the statutes
makes any provision for such an emergency.
The Justices of the Supreme Court are APP
p~rehensive that the Justices seat viii be
vacant. Justice Lippincott, sitting in the
Hudson Circuit, caused a murder case to be
postponed for the term and gave as the rea-
son that the Supreme Court would short
handed owing to the expiration of the terms
of Justice Magic on Wednesday next and
Justice Depue a few weeks later. This, ne
THINKS. will increase the work of the other
Justices, and he did not care to assume any
g1,eat RESPONSIBILITIES in his circuit while the
Supreme Court is in session. ~
The Governor will not say what ne Will
do with these judicial appointments and
the lawyers of the State are divided, for
many expressions were made a short Tune
apo on the possibilities of continuing the
(sIancery Court on the expiration OF the
term of the Chancellor in May. Some think
that fine Legislature is not in existence be-
cause it is incapable of doing any legislative
work. while others hold that they are prop
erly organized and in session. The Governor
viii NOT send the nomination to the Demo-
cratic Senate without a quorum, and he will
not recognize the Republican majority, and
the chances are therefore against the con-
frmation of these judicial appointments.
The vacancy on the Supreme Court Bench
does not stop the machinery, it only in
creases the burdens of the other seven Jus
-. t. will mt in any vYaV AFFECT the
legal contests to settle the Senatorial mud
dle. In the Chancery Court the effect will
be disastrous, for when the Chancellor stops
his whole court is crippled.

wEIDMAN's TRIAL GOES OVER.

The trial of Albert Waidman for man
slaughter was set down for today, but at the
request of ex-Judge Garretson the trial went
over until the April term of Court. Weld
mar was employed by the Consolidated
Traction Company as a motorman. On Sep
TENDER 30 his car collided with a wagon at
Montgomery and Monmouth streets, in
which were Joseph Carroll and John Kenny.
Carroll died from the injuries he received.
Kenny was not so seriously hurt. A suit for
damages was brought against the company
by Rose Carroll, a sister of Joseph, and by
John Kenny in his own behalf. The juries
found a verdict of $4,000 in favor of Miss
Carroll and of $3.50 In favor of Kenny. Both
cases lave been taken up on appeal.
Ex-Judge Garretson, in applying for de-
lay, said he thought it would be unfair for
this case to be determined by the present
panel of jurors, for they had heard the evil
dence in the two suits for damages. District
Attorney Winfield said he would not oppose
the application, and the case went off for the
time stated.

States the Political Condition.
Special to the Jersey CITY Ners.
AsBURY PARK, Feb. 90, 1s94.-The Rev.
S. Edward Young. Pastor of the Westmin i
ster Presbyterian Church and Secretary of
the Monmouth County Law and Order
League, in the prelude to his sermon last
svening>epitomized the New Jersey Senate
wrangle in the followi ng parable:-"If Aesop
were still alive he might frame a parable for
New Jersey ON this wise. There was a great
and good man named Publico possessed of a
vast and well favored estate, to secure which
he had suffered many tolls and received
many scars. AT a convenient place he built
a keepers house, and often in the third
month of autumn sent to occupy it a tenant,
decreeing that whatever the tenant might
do should be accepted as the wish of Pub
leo.
.sOnce the tenants name was Holdtight,
and he had one friend Jockey, who had been
driven away from certain other estates be-
cause of his wickedness. 1t was said that
Jockey gave Holdtight much money that he
might do his wickedness on this beautiful
estate, and many children OF Publico did he
draw into sin.
sHoldtight even openly delivered the
estate to Jockey, wiereupon Publico in great
anger FASTENED to the keepers but Hold
tight had fed, In the third month of Au-
tumn following Publico sent to the keepers
house another tenant, by name Upright, but
Holdtight barred the boor and forbade him
to enter. Over the estate there was also a
great Waterman, Doubleface. At first he
seemed to Publico to be of excellent counten-
ance, yet at the same time he secretly smiled
upon Jockey.
'sGreat Watchman Doubleface said that
Holdtight was tenant, but Upright dis
puted it. Now, Holdtight had also another
friend, as he supposed, named Highcourt.
The same was very wise and very slow, and
Holdtight asked him to decide which was
tenant, hoping thereby to let Jockey work
mischief still among the children of Pub
lico.
'.Then Publico held his head for shame,
and said, Heavens cause and my children's
welfare are baffied. Twill nourish the youth
Upright with approval, counsel and right
eousness, and in the third month of autumn
will again send him to the keepers house,
larger and stronger. and he will easily cast
out Holdtight, who weakens himself by his
gluttony and evil habits and double habits,
and Doubleface will l also depose and will
thrust Jockey from the estate forever

FIREMEN INJURED AT A FIRE.
Monroe Building on Fifty-nfnth
street Burned.

Monroe Building on FIIty-ufntu
Street Burned.
NEW York, Feb. 26, 1s94-Fire was dis
covered in the Monroe Building, Nos. 9, II
and 10 East Fifty-ninth street, at one O'Clock
this morning, and so rapidly did it spread
that by two O'Clock four alarms had been
sounded.
The Monroe Building was just inthe rear
of the New Netherland Hotel.
Guests in that hotel and also in the Hotel
Savoy, ON the south side of F~ifty-ninth
street, were awakened by the noise made by
the fremeu and greatly alarmed when the
smoke from the burning building poured into
the hotels.
The Monroe building was owned by Henry
Heidenberg. 1t was recently transformed
into an elegant office building.
One corner of the building was occupied
as a drug store by J. N. Negeman & Co., in
the cellar of which the fire started.
The flames swept up through the floor of
the drug store and rapidly climbed the walls.
Much of the material in the building was old
and burned f~uriously.
Smoke rolled out in great volumes and was
swept into the New Netherland Hotel, just
west, and the Hotel Savoy, across the street.
The guests of the former hotel hurriedly
arose, and many of them ran hurriedly to
the street.
While Fireman Lewis McAuliffe was
carrying the nozzle of a line Of hose up the
stairway leading to the second floor, the
stairway collapsed, and McAulhfe was
thrown amid the burning debris to the first
floor. His comrades promptly went to his
rescue and succeeded in getting him out.
His injuries are believed to be serious.
John McHugh, of Engine Company No.
%, was also injured by the falling stairway.
He was burned about the face and neck, and
his hands were cut by broken glass. Nc
Hugh and McAuliffe were taken to the
Presbyterian Hospital. It is not believed
their injuries will prove fatal.
The building is fiyestories high. 1t has a
frontage of IS feet and runs back about 100
feet. The second foor is occupiedsbya hair
dressing establishments, the third floor by
Tile Fireproof Construction Company, and
the fourth floor by the New York Sander In
stitution, an establishment for massage
treatment.
On the fifth floor are located the offices of
Buchanan & Brisler, architects, and also the
agents of the building. There are also on the
fifth floor several art studios.
At $50 A. M. the fire was still burning.

Special to the Jersey City Ncacs.
MOUNT HOLLY, Feb. 26, 1S94.-The mem
DRY of Samuel Read, who died several years
ago in this city, is to be perpetuated by the
erection of a handsome monument.
Mr.. Read was the father of the Order of
knights of Pythias of this country: He in
stituted New Jersey Lodge, No. /. of Mount
Holly, the Grand Lodge of New Jersey and
the Supreme Lodge of the world, and there
is no Pythian Knight more dearly beloved
today than he.
At the session of the Grand Lodge, held in
Trenton, last week, the matter of erecting a
suitable monument in honor of this illustri-
Gus Pythian Knight was introduced by
John Clark of Woodland Lodge, No. 5, of
Jersey City.
Plans of a suitable monument were sub
mitted and approved. 1t is to be triangular
in shape, "A feet high, 9 feet at the base and
will represent a temple of three columns, the
centre shaft being triangular in shape.
There will be three stones at the base repre-
senting the three degrees of the order. There
will also be emblematic stones on the top, on
which will rest an open Bible and a sword.
On the front will appear a suitable inscrip-
ton, and also a profile of Mr.. Read, and
over his head will appear thirteen stars, rep
resenting the number of grand lodges which
he organized in the different States.
The monument will be constructed of gran
tie, and in every piece will be recognized
some portion of the orders work. 1t is to
cost from s 5000 to $4,000, and will be
erected over the grave of Mr., Read in st.
Andrews Cemetery, Mount Holly, in about
two years. There will be nothing in the
monument foreign to the order, and the in
terest of every lodge in this country will be
secured in its construction.
The Grand Lodge at once subscribed $500,
and many other subscriptions were pledged.
An effort will be made to secure a handsome
gift from the Supreme Lodge of the world,
of which Mr.. Read was the first Grand
Chancellor, and which meets in Washington
next August.

An Indian Legend Regarding
Queen as Beautiful as CLEOPATRA.

queen as utAAsk AS patE
The story goes that in the old days, be-
fore the Amargosa River ceased to water
the valley, the place was the site of a power
full city ruled byia princess as beautiful as
Cleopatra and as imperious as Elizabeth. An
ambassador to the reign Aztec monarch de
scribed to her or his return the glories of the
kings palace in the City of Mexico.
Resolving to equal the magniicence OF
her neighbor, she began the erection of a
vast building. All the laborers and ar
tificers of the city were employed, and
the work was pushed night and day, for
within twelve months the Aztec ruler was
to be her guest. and she wished to welcome
him to a palace as splendid as his own. She
exhausted the resources of her realm. men
went mad with toll and hunger, and at last
the high priest protested,
He was ordered to execution and, dying,
cursed the city for the princess's sake. That
night the earth shook and sank. the river
dried up, and the morning sun poured down
a food of heat. All persisted and now the
ruined walls of the palace alone remain
