the Street&.

William Ellis, Jr., son of ex-Freeholder
Ellis, of No. 200 Monroe street, Hobo
ken, and Thomas Logan, of No. lis
Grand street, got into an alteration at
an early hour this morning at Fourth
and Madison streets, Hoboken. Logan
drew a knife, and cut Ellis about the
face and chin. Ellis pounded his adver-
sary's' face until it was black and blue.
While the fight was in progress Patrol
men Kennedy and Leahy came along
and arrested both young men. Ellis had
his chin sewed up by City Physician
Simon.
When arraigned this morning Logan
said he cut Ellis in self-defence. He was
held, and Ellis was discharged. Later he
was bailed. and had EliSs arrested on a
counter-charge of assault and battery.
He also was bailed, and will be examined
later. The cause of the fight did not

TRENTON, Jan. s, 1S95.-Things were
duller this morning than last night The
expected myriads of Republicans from
Hudson and Essex and Camden did not
materialiZe About eleven o'clock a band
appeared on the streets, behaving IN a
manner which would have driven Sousa
crazy had he heard IT. About one hun
dred men in high hats, light overeeats
and big blue badges followed it. They
were announced as the Schober Guards
of Newark, who had come down TO
escort Assemblyman Schober to his seat
this afternoon. They paraded around the
streets for short time. and then,s fail
ing to arouse any enthusiasm, sent their
band home.
A glorious row has already begun in
the ranks of the reformers 1t is be-
tween those two eminent political saints,
Storrs and Olcott. They were rival can
didates for the leadership of the House
at last nights caucus. Olcott has been
most outspoken in his opposition to Cen
eral Sewell and the General proposed
to punish him. So the GeneraPss men
voted against Olcott. Olcott's friends are
very sore, and propose bringing the mat
ter up at the earliest opportunity.
What the Murphy men call thunder
bolt out of a clear sky, and the sewell
men say don't amount to- anything, oc-
Cured this afternoon at the Assembly
caucus. Mr.. Storrs presided, and DR..
Wilbur was Secretary.
Gsnder, of Mercer, offered resolution
that the Senatorial caucus be held next
Monday night. Codding, of Union, a
rabid anti-Sewellite, raised the point that
the Senatorial question could not be con-
sidered until all the membership had
been sworn in Storrs sustained the
point. and. an appeal having been taken
from his decision. he was sustained by
a vote of 81 to %.
The Murphy men wore smiles as broad
as a Quaker's brim hat, while the Sewell
men do not seem to be very much wor-
ried. Hudson secured two doorKeepers
and two pages. Nutzhorn and Schober
got the doorkeepers and Gruber and
Blackshaw got the pages. Joe Guesto, of
Hoboken, wanted to be a doorkeeper
badly, but Nutzhorn named David Mil
Ter. Mr.. Schober named Isaac Jacobs.
Gruber gave his pageship to William Nc

DRUNKEN MOTORMAN
He Allows His Car to Run
Full Speed Into a Loaded
Sugar Track.
TOO DRUNK TO STAND
He Is Taken Away In a Patrol
Wagon-No One Injured on
the Car.

William Irwin. twenty-four years old
of No. q Market street. Newark, was
IN charge of Newark trolley car No. 15
this morning, while in such d beastly
state OF intoxication that he was unable
to stand or speak in an ineligible man
ner when placed under arrest.
No one knew of his conaftion until ht
ran his car crowded with passengers,
into a heavily loaded truck of the Aneri.
can Sugar Refining Company at Pacific
avenue and Grand street. Fortunately
the passengers escaped unhurt, but ths
front platform of the car was completely
wrecked.
Irwin was in charge of the car which
left the depot at two minutes before
eight O'Clock. Passengers say that hs
ran the car at full speed through Mont.
gomery street, not Stacking a particle
at the Washington and Montgomery
street curve or at the turn at Wash
ington and Grand streets. The car few
along Grand street, narrowly escaping
several pedestrians who crossed in front
of it, and many trucks and express
wagons on the way to New York. Wit
nesses declare that the man did not have
his hand on the brake at all, but was
iolling against the front door in a stupid
condition.
At Grand street and Pacific avenue tfa
sugar truck had become stuck on the
tracks. A passenger who occupied a
seat near the front of the car declared
that the motorman must have been
asleep, as he seemed unconscious of tha
presence of the truck At full speed il
crashed INTO the heavy wheels of the
truck. PaneS of glass were broken, and
passengers Sprang from the car IN alarm.

his Office. He ordered thorough in

able that the conductor who worked with

report the motormau's drunken condi-
ton. The starter, too, is likely to be
discharged for not having noticed irwin s
condition The starters explanation is
mind time, and that sometimes they have
TO start right out after arriving here.

TRENTON, JAN g. 1894.-The Republi-

promptly at eight oelock at the Wind

were present. Assemblyman Codding of
Union who would in all human probabil-
tiles be Leader of the House. only the
Speaker comes from Union. called the
caucus to order. A battle Immediately
ensued for permanent chairman, who,
by virtue of that Office is leader on the
floor, between Charles Bigelow Storrs,
the erratic young statesman from
Orange; Colonel George Peripatetic Oh
cott, whose arduous labors in behalf of
reform last year were rewarded with
the appointment of Assistant Quarter
master, and Micajah J. Matlack of Bur
lington. Storrs won by a small ma
jority and after Olcott had gone out to
drown his sorrow the caucus nomin-

LAST NIGHTS CROWD
The Clans Rally About General
Sewell's Cigar Box
Murphy Smiles.


TRENTON, Jan. g. 1S95.-The Capital
assumed it's usual night-before-the-fair
aspect last night. The members and the
small army of candidates for the vari-
Gus legislative offices, with their friends
and adherents. crowded the Hobbies OF
the hotels and kept up a continuous
procession from the Trenton House to
the Hotel Windsor, where the Republi-
cans made their headquarters. The chief
topic of interest was the Senatorship.
The general cut and dried aspect of the
two caucuses threw damper over every
thing as far as the general public was
concerned although the fight over the
Clerkshtp of the House and one or two
other minor offices kept the candidates
and their friends on the tenter hooks
until the caucuses were over.
General Sewell kept open house in the
famous room 100 in the Trenton House
He was amiability itself. and stood at
the door, where he welcomed everyone
who came in with a hearty grip of the
hand, and then passed the visitor along
into the room. He was as cool and col
lected as ever, and seemed confident of
success He said that he had enough
votes now to elect him. He modestly
declined to say how many votes he had.
but his friends made no bones of saying
that the General had sixty.
Such able lieutenants as William Bet
tee, Dick Reading, John Laird, E. B,
Gaddas, Sheriff Toffey, Joseph GaskflI,
who has been running the Generals
literary bureau John Kean, Jr., Garret
A. Hobart and Major Anderson, took
charge of the guests as the General
pushed them along as a good thing,
and saw that they were properly refresh
ed and reasoned with If they happened
to have votes or infioonce.
MURPHY'S SIDE SHOW.
Down at the Windsor Chairman Frank
lin Murphy, of the State Committee, also
kept open house. He had a magnificent
suite OF apartments with plenty of lace
curtains and portieres. and other good
things of different quality, but he
failed to attract the crowds that packed
General Sewells room and made the All
.nosphere there difficult to breathe. He
also stood at the door thanked by his

of the state Committee. and nice

a inonotonous chant, the burden of which
was that General Sewell had not all he
claimed, and that there would be q sur
Prise for someone when the caucus was
held. Mr.. Murphy made a statement. III
which he claimed that he had 81 votes
and assurances from IL others that they
were not pledged. 1t will require so
votes to secure the nomination. Mr.
Murphy would not state where he got
his 81 votes, and looked sad when any
one doubted that he had them:
