FIRE AT GREENWICH.
The Entire Store and General
Stock of s. r.. Mills, at Green
Wich Pier. DESTROYED.

The Entire Store and General
Stock of s. R. Mills, at Green
wich Pier, Destroyed.
Monday night about haIf-past eight
O'Clock fire was discovered issuing
from the general store of g. r. Mills,
at Greenwich Pier. An alarm was
spread and people assembled, and an
attempt was made to put out the
flames. Before any headway could be
made at this entire interior of the
store was flame swept, and the stock
of merchandise was all afire. An ef-
fort was made to save goods, but only
one case of shoes was got out.
A bucket brigade was organized and
water from the Cohansey, right by,
was poured upon the flames, but
without avail. The building, a good
sized frame structure, was burned
down and all the stock and contents
were consumed. The willing workers
devoted their efforts towards saving
the other buildings which we're con-
tiguous and thickly placed on the
pier. and in this they were successful.
No other building was fired. Mr..
Mills had large general stock of goods
adapted to the oystermen's trade, such
as groceries and provisions, boots,
shoes, clothing, oil and rubber goods,
hardware and general merchandise.
The amount of the loss, which must
have been considerable, could not be
ascertained at this writing, but the
store and contents were insured in the
Cumberland Mutual for $25OO.
How the fire originated is unexplain-
able, but 1t broke out on the inside of
the store. Mr.. Mills closed up his
store about quarter to eight O'Clock,
leaving everything safe, and no clue
can be given as to the origin of the
flames.

A DIRECT REFORM.
Assemblyman Austin's New
Measure.

Measure.
In the House of Assembly, Hon. It.
F. Austin has introduced several i'm
portant bills, but the one that went to
the clerks desk Tuesday is a most
important and commendable one, and
somewhat In the line of the referendum
scheme, which Is just now being
agitated by many people throughout
the State.
The title of the bill provides: San
act relative to the publication of the
laws of this State, and to promote re-
form In the introduction of bills be.
fore the Legislature"
The first section of the bill reads:
''That hereafter all statutes of this
State. when printed or published In
newspapers, or In pamphlet form, un-
der and by virtue of any existing
statute OF this state, shall have printed
Herewith Immediately above the title
thereof, the surname of the Senator or
Assemblyman who In troduced said act
In that branch of the legislature In
which the same originated, and that
following the last section of every
such statute, there shall be printed
statement of the votes In detail by
whichlsaid statute was finally passed,
such statement to contain the surname
of each. Senator and Assemblyman
votingapon the final passage thereof,
and the nature of his vote thereon,
whether for or against the same"
Section two provides that the manner
in which the printing shall be as now
appears in the Senate Journal or the
Minutes of Assembly.
Section four provides that this act
shall apply to all statutes passed by
the Legislature of 1895.
The object in the introduction of
this measure Is In the direct line of
reforms 1t first places every member
on recotd directly before his people.
In the phblication of any law, con-
stituency has but to glance over the
columnsand see how his representa-
tives voted. At present people gener.
ally can tell b1tlittle of the work of a
member. The minutes are not easily
accessible.
A member who knows that his vote
Is thus to be perused by his entire COZ
stituency will net soon betray his
trust. His vote will not be given
where 1t should not be recorded.
Vicious bills, commonly known as
''strikers'' will net be introduced, and
bills now introduced by request will
not be touched unless they are entire
| ly acceptable. 1t is in the line of
economy for it will keep from the Le-
gislature scores of bills that are not
expected to pass, but are only used to
embarass and burden the Legisls ture.
In word the bill gives the people the
Information they have right to know
and makes the member responsible In
a manner which he had not heretofore
been obliged to respect.
Pass the bill.

FAVOR THE SCHOOL LAW.
The Council of Education Makes
Some Inquiries--Hostility has
SubSided.

Some Misunderstanding has
Subsided.
The Council OF Education appointed
by the Legislature has been making
some Inquiries into the working of the
new school law: One hundred and
fifty-nine reports of Presidents of the
Board of Education show that 11S
townships received the law with favor
and 40 with opposition, few saying
it ought to be repealed. Cape May,
Passaic and salem were not examined.
Some of the larger townships recon-.
mend that the Boards be increased so
that each district may have a repre-
sentative. while smaller townships
recommend that the number on the
Board be reduced to five. Some
recommend that the Boards have
the power to order taxes raised
for current expenses without having
meeting of the taxpayers to order 1t
raised. This would be reasonable If
limited to one dollar for each child on
the school census.
The old method of apportionment
was based on the census. The new
plan provides for an apportionment
of 5000 for each teacher for the full
time for which the schools were main
tanned during the next preceding ap-
portiouments The remainder of the
money Is to be apportioned on the
basis of the previous published census.
The hostility to the township law
has In a great measure subsided. There
is some yet, but it is no more formid.
able than that of 1869, when there
took place that great changs in the
school legislation that set New Jersey
In the foremos rank of States as to
her educational system.

The Disappearance of Charles
Morrow Solved.

The City Trust and Safe Deposit
Company. of 927 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, has solved to its own
satisfaction the mystery surrounding
the disappearance of Charles Morrow,
the Reading Railroad agent. at Mullica
Hill. The company, which is the
surety on Morrow's bond, has made a
careful investigation of the affair, and
II. Parsons, the assistant trust officer,
who has had the matter In charge,
says that Morrow was short In his &C.
counts with the company to the
amount of $400. He said that Morrow
had also borrowed money on promis-
sorry notes In at least three cases In
amounts ranging from $3.50 to $3.50,
these notes being nearly due.
1t was learned that at least some of
Morrow's clothing, such as shirts and
heavy underwear, was taken away
when he left. He was not known to
have any particularly expensive habits
beyond what was indicated by finding
number of lottery tickets among his
effects, with an agreement signed by
large number of persons, showing
that they belonged to club for the
purchase of tickets In the Little Louisi-
ana Lottery Company, In which, as 1t
appeared by a certificate found, Nor.
row held $500 worth of stock given

pleaded guilty to the larceny of some
clothing, was brought In from jail and
