Trouble in jerseys Legislature.

"A very lively contest between the dem
ocratic and republican senators of the
/ New Jersey legislature was inaugurated
Tuesday for the control Of the Senate.
| The House organized without any diff
Guilty or excitement, but the Senate was
( not so fortunate. The holdover demo-
! cratic senators had been informed that
| the republicans had expressed a purpose
not only 10 repeal all the laws that bear
the impress of the democracy. but also to
| legislate all the democratic judges out of
office and 50 redistrict the state as to
prevent the election of another demo-
| cratic assembly or another democratic
| congressman, Such an uniustiiable at
| tack upon the democrats was very natur-
ally resented by the democratic senators,
and they planned to get control of the
Senate by organizing that body without
consulting the republican senators. They
proposed TO do this by declaring the seat
of Mr. Bradley, a republican senator
vacant, because Of the charge that he had
obtained his election by fraud and brib-
cry.
The House is republican, standing 40 re-
publicans and 20 democrats. The Senate
stands II republicans and 10 democrats,
counting Bradley. 1t seems therefore
that on the face of the returns the repub-
licans have majority of each House.
1t is questionable if public sentiment
will sustain the democratic senators. Al
though New Jersey is a democratic state
The republicans were victorious in the last
election. The reason was that the last
legislature passed some very obnoxious
laws in respect to race tracks. 1t was
said at the time these laws were enacted
that the democrats had made a mis-
take, and that they would lose control of
the state. A great many democrats, anx-
lous to rebuke their party for its unwise
legislation, voted for the republican can
didates for the legislature. The legisla-
ture is therefore republican by democratic
votes.
The republicans are making a mistake
IN threatening to gerrymander the state
and legislate all democratic Judges out of
Office, and the democratic senators are
wrong in trying to withhold control of
the senate from the republicans, to whom
1t rightfully belongs. 1t may be true that
Senator Bradley was elected by fraud.
but his opponent is not contesting his
election and the democratic senators
have no right to assume he is guilty.
AT the next election the democrats will
get control of the legislature again, in all
probability, because the democrats who
voted with the republicans at the last
election are still democrats. They have
not abandoned their party. Their purpose
was to rebuke it, and the republicans, if
they resort to unfair means to retain con-
troll of the state, will be more severely
rebuked than the democrats were.

Failed to Give Proper warning.

A good story is told by one of the parties
interested of Brooks county Judge who pre-
sided at an action for damages against the
Savannah, Florida and Western railroad for
the killing OF COW, not many years ago In
such cases the testimony OF the engineer and
fireman is always allowed in behalf Of the de-
fendant, except in certain cases.
Itseems that in this instance the COW walked
across the track and behind a shed, which
stood very near by, and then emerging from
behind the shed tried to cross again when she
was killed by the train.
What did you do when you saw the COW on
the track asked the plaintins attorney of
the engineer, who was on the witness stand.

the reply, I blew my whistle"

Anything else?"

cumstances."

The railroad won its case with the Jury.

ROBBERS HOLD UP A TRAIN.
Five Masked Men Make a Good Haul
Near st. Joseph.

st. Joseph, Mo, Jan. 1O.-Five masked
men held up the Hannibal and st. Joseph
railways fast train, the eli, . tonight
about 6 40 o'clock, four miles east of here,
and robbed the express and mail cars
The men placed torpedoes on the track
and swung a red lantern to stop the
train, and as it slowed up three men
climbed into the engine cab. Revolvers
were thrust into the faces of the engineer
and fireman, but they were not told to
throw up their hands It was an old
fashioned robbery, but it was successful
in every detail.
THE EXPRESS CAR ENTERED.
The engineer and fremen were forced
to walk back in front of the robbers to
the express car, and ordered to tell the
messenger to open the door. Express
Messenger Wetsell did not suspect that
there were robbers outside, and when he
heard the engineer calling he opened the
door. As he did so, two of the robbers
leaped in. They secured the keys to the safe
and went through it in jiffy, but the Of
ticials refuse to state how much was in
the safe. They say, however, that the
amount was not large. AS it was
through one TO Chicago it is believed that
the robbers made good haul, notwith-
standing the denials of the officials,
RlFLED THE MAIL POUCHES.
The mail car was entered in the same
manner as the express car The mail
agents were unarmed and made no resist
ance. It is reported that a registered
pouch was carried off by the robbers
Other mail pouches were cut open and
ritied and everything of value in sight
was taken. The passengers were not
disturbed.
AS soon as the train had been robbed.
the masked men ordered the engineer to
proceed. The rear brakeman, John Ryan,
had been sent back to flag approaching
trains when the robbers stopped
the train, and when they released it,
Ryan was left ubehind He secured a
horse and rode back to the city, where he
reported the affair at once to the officials
The conclusion was at once jumped at
that the robbers went from this city and
have returned to the city. Upon this
theory the officers are now working.

Ex-President Harrison,s Plans.

There is a good deal of speculation
among the politicians as to whether ex-
President Harrison is a candidate for the
Presidential nomination of his party in
1896. The national republican committee
meets in Washington to-day, and will
1t is believed, discuss matters that are of
interest to those who are thinking of
seeking the nomination. The statement
Is made that nearly every member of the
committe is hostile to Gen. Harrison.
The reason for this hostility is not given,
but that it exists is not denied.
A correspondent of the St Louis Re-
public called on Gen. Harrison at his
home in Indianapolis few days ago and
asked him whether or not he is a candi-
date. Gen. Harrison declined to answer
the question. The asking of it at this
time indicated surprising amount of as
surance.
Ex-senator Palmer, of Michigan, who
was minister to Spain under Gen. Harri-
sons administration, pretends to know
Gen. Harrison's mind in respect to the
presidential nomination He saws the
general is not a candidate. Mr.. Palmer
says that he visited him at Cape Nav
last summer for the purpose of finding
out his views respecting the nomination.
and was told that he must not be consid-
cred to be candidate.
From what Mr. Palmer says, the III
ference is that Gen. Harrison has had all
the political honor he cares for.
Gen. Harrison, however, may change
his mind before 1896. 1t is safe to saw he
will change it if he becomes confident he
can be nominated. He is not man to
throw away the chance to be President,
even though he has already administered
the Presidential Office one term.
The probabilities are however, that he
is finally and forever out of politics. Even
if his friends should desire his nomina-
ton they could not induce him to make
an effort to get it unless he were confident
he could get it and could be elected.
Mr.. Palmer is, therefore, comparatively
safe in declaring that Gen. Harrison is
not candidate.

Seventeen innings were played. Ives

Ives in the fifth inning.
Schaefer, SlOsson and Ives met to-day
and signed an agreement which bars the
anchor nurse for the balance of the tour

sense is an invaluable factor. Mr. Wilson
and those who agree with him are asmuch op-

but they are proceeding by different methods
to eradicate it from our tariff system they
are proceeding as they Can; Mr.. Watterson

TAPPING A LUMBER REGION.
The Dallas and Southeastern Project
Backed by Huntington.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 1O.-It is semi .offlc-
tally given out that the Dallas and South
eastern railroad projects backed up by Mr..
Huntington, who has undertaken to float
the bonds. That portion of the road
from the terminus of the Texas Trunk to
Palestine, a distance of less than
fifty miles, is to be con-
structed at once, Burkett Il Miller
being the contractors. AS soon as this
portion of the road is completed work will
begin on the construction of the line to
traverse the lum Der region between Pal
estine and Beaumont, where the projected
road will tap the Southern Pacific system
This line will be an i'm
portant branch of the Huntington
system, as it will tap the finest lum Der
section reached by that system. The ex-
tension of the trunk will give Dallas
direct connection with the country to the
southeast and New Orleans, which are
now reached by circuitous routes.
