Snccial to the jersey c5ta Wears.

TRENTON, March S, 1896.-The Legis-
lature is evidently in earnest In its deter
mination to relieve the public of its pres
ence by March 20. 1t settled down to bust
ness yesterday, and without too much
waste of gas, got through with a large
amount of business. Then the Senate
went home until Friday. when it will
come back and consider the bills which
the House passed at it's session today,
There are encouraging prospects that
both Houses will sit until Saturday dur
ing the coming two weeks and will hold
night sessions. The public can forgive
them that If they only wind up at the
time designated.
The House helped out the Paterson
Board of Works which has gotten all
tangled up legally and don't know what
authority it has by passing a bill legaliz-
ing all its acts.
MI. Francis bill providing for a bicycle
path six feet wide from Trenton to AS
bury Park also went through the House
and so did Mr.. Francis bill providing FOR
the erection of a home for the INDECENT
blind on the Wilson farm lear English
town, which was donated to the State
for that purpose. Another bill passed by

Mr.. Bradley succeeded in getting the
Senate to pass his bill which provides
for the taxing of the inhabitants of AS

Hicks bill making 1t a misderneanor to
sell any article as sterling silver which

Senate bill No. 1874 goes through the
House, as it did through the Senate and
meets with the approval of the Governor

testate will receive all his personal es-
tate.
Mr.. Christie's House bill, which repeais
that clause of the act providing for a
bridge across the Passaic between Essex
and Hudson Counties which compels the
submitting of the question to the vote OF
the people, went through the Senate. II
viii be remembered that that section
along saved Hudson County last fall
from being saddled with half of the cost
of a bridge between Harrison and New
ark. The bill now goes to the Governor,
and there is little doubt that he viii sign
it. Essex wants the bridge and Hudson
tempt for Hudson County people is too
we'll known to encourage any exalted
hope that he will veto the bill.
The Senate also passed these bfils:-

ployment on any public works to give

Real Christmas weather is promised for

The weather bureau, however, does not
see its way clear to promising snow for
Christmas. The best it can co is to say
that it will not be quite SO cold tomorrow
as it has been, and partly cloudy. AS
Major Dunwoody, the forecast officer for
the time being, said to a Star reporter this
morning, the weather is always likely to
take sudden turn during the latter part
of December, hut there was nothing on the
map this morning to warrant the prophecy
of snow.

girls who will get sleds for presents to-
morrow" said Major Dunwoody, land there

saying that I'm sure there will be no snow.

CHRISTMAS SCENES.
The Rush for Presents is Lively
Today.


Today.
The keen breezes that blew out of the
west with much force today kept the
Christmas crowds in rapid motion and put
more roses into the cheeks of the pretty
girls than a florist could cultivate in a
conservatory in four or five thousand years
But even this multitude of flowers Of the
poetic sort were nothing in number or
refulgent beauty to the smiles that clothed
the countenances of the merchants and
shopkeepers. They stood at vantage points
in their respective establishments and
viewed the throngs Of buyers with a COM
placent satisfaction that would DEFY de-
Scription. From the Stores downtown where
trinkets and knicknacks suitable for holi-
day gifts could be purchased even as low
as nickel to the ijeWelry Stores where
magnificent creations in precious metals
and dazzling gems made certified chez ks
Tor large amounts a requisite for their pos
session, the crowds were large and eager
The sun shone from c1oudless sky and to
all appearances the clouds of hard times
had been dissipated, too, SO far as a super

number of people out was enormous, it will
probably not compare with the masses that
will follow their Christmas bent tonight.
For the first time in many years, the gov
ernment buildings did not close at II O clio tx,
and consequently the thousands of clerks
employed in them were unable to join in
the AFTERNOON rush. There was an unmis-
taxable increase noticeable in. the Christ
mas DECORATIONS that were ,tbein, secured
and, while arms full of holly houghs and
punches of mistletoe have been familiar
features during the past five or six days,
it seemed that Christmas eve remained to
be selected by the majority of,,people to
procure these appropriate beautfiers of
homes and every third or fourth person

sHOPLIFTERs CAUGHT,
4 Pair Found in the Division With n
Lot of Goods.

William Northridge and Annie Addison,
the latter said to be the proprietress of
house of i'll fame in the Division were
in the Police Court today, charged with
shopifting. Not being prepared for trial,
the case was continued until Tuesday next.
1t seems that complaint was made Friday
last by the proprietors of the Boston House
about woman who had been committing
theft at their establishment. From the
description furnished, Policeman Bell and
Schuyler last evening arrested Annie Addi-
son for the offense. Northridge was with
her at the time, and he was jointly
charged. ..
A saleswoman from McKnews identified
the Addison woman as the party who had
stolen goods from that store. A room oc
cupied by the arrested couple in house
on Missouri avenue, was visited by the po-
1icemen and feather and fur boas, imported
china cups and saucers, inkstands, bisque
figures and other articles of value found.
1t is believed by the officials that pair of
dangerous shoplfters have been placed be-
hind the bars.
