day afternoons session of the Hous
the Committee on Railroads and Canals
reported the Erie Track Elevation bill
which was agreed Upon in the nature Of
a compromise at yesterday afternoons
meeting. A synopsis of the compromise
was published in THE Jersey City News
yesterday. The bill was sent to the En-
crossing Clerk to be prepared for second
reading. There is little hope of making
it a law this session. The corporations
have succeeded in delaying the bill even
after it was in a shape which they de-
| clared is perfectly satisfactory to them.
Only three days remain in which to pass
the measure. and it can not be done u n
less under a suspension of the rules, and
as that requires q majority in the House
| and a two-thirds vote in the Senate. 1t

again.
This Legislature is having a hard
time to rid itself of the hearing fever.
1t had a slight relapse yesterday when
the Committee on the Revision of Laws

was a poor concern for pedestrians. He
