MEWAN's INQUEST BILL
Killed BY a Close Vote-Bil Passed
In the Assembly.

In the
Special to the Jersey City Neirs.
TRENTON, March 8, 1s94-Considerable
opposition to Assembly Bill No. 142, which
came up for a third reading and final pas
sage, was developed at yesterdays afternoon
session of the House. This measure author
ICES county physicians to order an inquest of
any person who is killed by accident upon
the application of the father, grandfather,
widow, uncle, aunt or any other relative of
the victim. Mr.. McEwan championed the
bill on the score that there are, as at present
constituted, many cases of sudden death,
never investigated by a c%oroner's jury, be-
cause of influences brought to bear upon the
county physicians by corporations whose
policy is to smother such instances of vio-
lent death. Cross of Union n Minority
Leader Beeknan strenuously opposed the
passage of the bill, arguing that it was intro
duced in the interest of cOroners, OF whose
misrule the people had already had a bounti-
full suficiency, their chief object in former
times being the fees accruing from mquests,
which had proved an onerous burden to the
taxpayers in every county in the. State. 1t
would. in Mr.. Cross opinion, abolish the
office Of County Physician, one with which
the public is well satisfied. Mr.. McEwan ap-
pealed to the members to pass the bill, claim
ing it to be a "spoor mans measure" mas
much as it would save the latter the expense
of expert testimony at trials for damages
arising from accidents on railroads and the
like. Mr.. Beekman challenged this state
ment and the sincerity of the ~introducer of
the bill. whom he asked to recite instances
where corporations had attempted to prevent
/ inouests. After more bandying of words the
speaker ordered a call of the roll on the bill
audit was lost by a vote of sixteen to twenty
one. Nh. Codding moved to reconsider the
vote, but this movement was deprecated by
Mr.. McEwan, upon whose motion 1t was
tabled.

Opening The boulevard
Fine Roadway to Elmhurst Inspected
by SCrantOnians.
NOT YET ENTIRELY COMPLETED
Delay About Bridge Over Nay Aug Falls
Is the Cause-Names of Those
Who Enjoyed the Spin
Over the Road.

The opening of the Elmhurst boule-
ward yesterday afternoon was an event
that was enjoyed by numerous society
people Of Scranton and lovers Of horse
flesh generally. Although the elements
were not propitious to pleasure driving,
the people who have been anxiously
watching the building of the ideal
driveway during the past summer,
eagerly availed themselves Of the OPP
portunity to speed over the delightful
thoroughfare that has been built upon
the mountain tops between this city
and the charming summer home town.
At o'clock, the hour designated for
the pleasure procession to move, nearly
one hundred vehicles freighted with
ladies and gentlemen were lined up on
Washington avenue in readiness for
the drive.
Owing to the trouble that has de-
layed the building Of the bridge at Nay
Aug falls, 1t was necessary to find
new approach to the boulevard, and
permission had been obtained of the
Pennsylvania Coal company to utilize
one of the old gravity road tracks as a
roadway to the top of Nay Aug tunnel
where the boulevard is reached.
The Procession Moves.
At the appointed hour the gay pro-
cession Of handsome turnouts moved
up over the Petersburg hill headed by
]. L. Crawford driving span Of spirit
ed bays that were amply qualified to
lead the parade. Crossing the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western tracks
near Little England" the prancing
steeds easily threaded the winding
pathway up the mountain side and
We're soon upon the boulevard level.

JEFFRIES RUN DOWN.
He Attempted to Levy Blackmail Once Too
Often and Was Caught-Spelt Night in
Police Station.

Often and Was Caught-Spelt Night in
Police Station.
William Jeffreys is, or was, watch
man at the Johnson breaker and holds
also the position of special officer of the
borough Of Dunmore. He is now in the
central police station upon a charge of
blackmailing.
On Saturday night young man
named William Kennedy was walking
with the object of his affections in the
field near the steam power company's
plant when Jeffrey pounced upon them
and suggested that If Mr.. Kennedy did not
grease his palm he would make charges
affecting the lady's virtue.
Both not only protested, but We're
highly indignant but that did not
count with the ineXorable special
officer, whose sense of duty was so
strong.
Kennedy was compelled to leave the
young ladyas the hostage with the oblig-
ing Jeffreys to find the sum of IS. This he
did, and after some delay she was re-
leased.
Last night Kennedy and friend lay
in wait and set a bait for the voracious
guardian of the peace and caught him
at the game.
Lietenant Davis was sent for and
brought him to the police station, where
his revolver, loaded stick, and badge
were taken from him and he was
robbed of the glories of his office.
