man, making a very serious effort to smile.

Assistant asked, seriously.
ssNot necessarily but that is the kind that
is generally used. Young horses, unless they
break their legs or die from some cause, are
seldom used. They are more valuable ahve
than in sausage. No." said the melancholy
Adam, "old horses are the ones generally
used"
The Prosecutors Assistant hunted up his
law books. and, after half an hours research,
he discovered that law in 1881 made 1t a
misdemeanor to manufacture food from I'M

sick horses. :,

McGinniss Discharged for Hitting
the Policeman With Shovel.
Michael McGinniss of Sixth and Grand
streets, Hoboken, was tried yesterday in the
Court of General Sessions on an Indictment
for atrocious assault and battery on Police
man Meyer of that city. The policeman said
that McGinniss had been carting ashes over
sidewalk and that he spilled some of it.
Never said he told McGinniss that he must
not cart any more ashes; that McGinniss be-
came impudent and said he would
do as he pleased. McGinniss, accord
ing to the policeman, threatened him and
when Meyer raised his club, the ASH man
struck him on tne eye with shovel. cutting

he was running Meyer drew his revolver and
shot McGinness in the back of the shoulder.
The fugitive clambered over fence and dis
appeared Meyer said the blood which
| flowed from his cut blinded him so that he
could not give chase, but the next day Nc
Ginness was arrested by deteetive Gallagher.
The evidence OF Meyer was partly cor
roborated by brother policeman, who testi-
! fed that he had taken Meyer to his house
and washed the blood from his cut and band

ing ashes, but was simply shoveling it into a
| cart that stood in lot thirty-fve feet from

in the cart Policeman Meyer came up to him
from behind and prodded him with
his club, at the same time saving
he must stop carting. MeGinness
told Meyer not to prod him again
and denied that he was carting the ashes.
| Meyer said that he had been carting and
again punched him with the club; Mel5innis

| he would take hand in it himself Meyer
raised his club to strike McGinnis and the

him in the back Of the shoulder.

Special to the JERSEY CITY Ne,cs.

TRENTON, Jan. %, 1894.-The Democratic
Senate met at ten o'clock today, and took
the usual adjournment to Friday for want

Soon afterward the eleven republicans
gathered around two long tables in the room
of the Committee on Judiciary. After some
preliminary work, they took recess for
half an hour
1t was then announced that the hillside
manded by the people which they could pass,

Water Board law, and the law which keeps
Christie Smith and John Brown at the

when the business of the State is brought to
standstill for want of funds, they propose
to place the blame upon the Governor.

MAYOR WANSER DISAPPOINTED
Never Expected Such a DecisiOn-Th
Rascals Happy.

Mayor Wanser acknowledged to me that
he was disappointed. Despite rumors to the
contrary, he fully expected that Governor
Werts would remove the accused officials.
''I cannot discuss the decision at this time"
said he II have not read it all yet and un-
til do must decline to say anything
One thing that is pleasing TO the enemies
of Mr.. Erwin, whose appointment as City
Attorney is now awaiting confirmation, is
the whack Governor Werts gives him for
the manner in which the hearing of the
charges was conducted.

this morning bright and early. They were
aware it is said, that the decision would be
made public today.

RETICENT AT THE COURT HOUSE.
At the Court House today the lawyers and
politicians eagerly talked about the action Of

Wanser No one would express any opinion
on the merits of the decision, but to man
all appeared to be greatly surprised at the

decision to be as represented and said they
| would not be convinced until they saw the
decision in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS today.
COUNSELLOR ERwIN's OPINION.
"After what read in THE JERSEY CITY
| NEWS the other evening am not surprised,
said Counsellor James S. Erwin. The
| Governors decision is miscarriage. The
evidence in this matter was verwhelming
as complete as anyone could wish main
| tain it fully warrants removal of these
men, 1t must be remembered that we did
not set out to show any criminal acts. The
| gist of our proof is that these Commission
| ers showed incompetency and neglect OF
public affairs and for these reasons it is for
| the public welfare that they should be re
moved. We have positively proved that
they were negligent and acted without any
regard for public interests, and am in
tensely surprised at the Governors de

COMBINED TO FIGHT THE PENNsY

Messrs. Hugh Leslie, Thomas Hill Hickey
and other property owners who claim that
their property has been injured by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, have IN
diyidually brought suit against that corpor-
alton for the amount of $4,000. In the
company's pleadings, however, certain ques-
tions are raised which make it certain that
the litigation will be carried to the highest
courts of the States judiciary, and possible
into the FederalsCourt. The expense OF this
being more than these individuals can bear,
II has been decided to amalgamate and in
duce others having grievances against the
company to join, and then fight the company
in body. For the purpose meeting was
held in Counselor E. K. Seguine's office in
the Weldon Building last night where the
owners met and discussed their plan Moth
ing definite was arrived at, but on Monday
evening next they will meet again and take
some positive action.

Going Away Indefinitely.
IL 4 q IL Tnna N-aai.. !


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. %, 1894.-Sena-
tor Mcpherson has not been benefited by
his trip to Florida A letter received from
him yesterday says that he found that the
air of St. Augustien did not agree with
him, and he is now at Aiken, South
Carolina. where he says he
will probably remain indefinitely. He
will ask Senator Smith to arrange for him
an indefinite leave of absence from the SEN
ate, and has also arranged with Senator
VOORHEES,, Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, to fill his place temporarily on the
committee in case there is work to be done
on the tariff bill. This indicates that the
Senator has no intention of returning
to the city for some time. There
was a rumor current today that he
intended to take a trip to some South
ern country in Europe, but this could not be
confirmed At any rate, if New Jerseys APP
pointments are to be held up in his absence,
there will be few made for some time to
come, unless they are of postoffces, for
whose appointments the recommendations
have already been made. Senator Smith has
recovered from the grip and is in the city.
