ANOTHER BIG HOUSE
W. ]. Mcnamara Will Erect a Five
Story Building
IN WEST GRANITE STREET
More Room Is Needed and VIII Be
Provided - The improvement
VIII Be Apprec ated BY
the Travelling ublic.

Butte is to have another five-story
building this year. Arrangements have
all been completed and the work will
begin at once. w. j. Mcnamara, who
returned a week ago from an extended
trip through the South, has come to the
conclusion that there is no better place
than Butte for him to invest his money.
He has therefore decided to put three
more stores on his block in West Gran
lite street. This is the granite block Of
which two stories were erected four or
five years ago. and about that time the
financial depression came and silver
took drop, and the block was left I'M
completed.
Times have so improved that Mr.. Nc
Namara has decided to put three more
stories on the block this summer. This
will make II a five-story building. a
mate to the Owsley block. which is the
only five-story building now in the
city. The Mcnamara block has a base
ment on the south side and so will real
ly be six full stories in height at the
south side when the additional three
stories are put on. 1t will be higher
building than the Owsley.
The present block is of stone. but II
will be finished in pressed brick. The
estimated cost of the addition will be
100000 the cost of the present building
HdNlnS Deen ABOUT SZZUOU. III Is the IN
tention to complete the building with
out disturbing the present occupants at
all. The business firms now i'm the
block will remain there as the contract
ors claim that they can finish the build
ing without troubling them I'm any way.
The three stories will be built entirely
for offices and lodging rooms. 1t is not
the present intention to have any pub
lie hall in the building.
One reason why the new block will
be warmly welcomed by the people of
Butte is because of the humiliation
which Butte was forced to undergo by
its failure to provide accommodation
for the guests in attendance at the re-
publican convention. There were not
more than $50 extra people in the city
probably on account OF the convention,
yet the city was utterly unable to pro-
vide decent accommodation for them,
or even any accommodation at all and
the city might as well give up the idea
Of entertaining any more state conven-
lions until IL has more rooms suitable
for lodging. The hotels were all crowd
ed to overlooking during the conven-
ton and the lodging houses were all
filled. on Sunday night dozens Of men
carrying valises were hunting rooms i'm
all parts of the town. About 20 of
them utterly failed TO get sleeping ac-
commodations and remained all night
in saloons.

spccsal to TIC Jes-scu Cdty Nclrs.


TRENTON, March 4. 1S96.-The Republic
can Senators held q conference yesterday
afternoon after they adjourned for the
purpose of getting some idea of where
they were at. Senator Stokes jumped
on the new game law. Ee said that the
people down his way did not approve of
appointed. They thought tha they
stead of the. Commission.
Others found fault with other provisions
of the bill and succeeded in mix
ing the thing up so that the
Senators dropped it like a hot
potato. The constitutional amendment
ment for electing Assemblymen by dis
tricts was favorably considered. and it
was resolved to frame it and let the peo-
pie see how it looks in print. Joint meet
ing was fixed for Wednesday of next
week.
Mr. Rogers twelve signers excise bill
did not meet with such success. and the
general impression is that it will not be
taken out of the committee.
Final adjournment was discussed, and
House that IL take place as near March
IS as possible. That is generally ac-
cepted to mean that the Legislature will
adjourn the week following that date,
or TWO weeks from Friday.
There has been much comment upon
the failure of the Senator Voorhees, In
vestigatIng Committee to make It's final
report. There IS reason to believe that
there viii be more talk over the com
mittee's doings before long, and there is a
suspicion that a sensation is pending.
When Barney Ford was sentenced in
the Mercer County Court yesterday, Pros
ecutor Stockton in his address to the
Court said that he thought Ford would

truth in regard to the cases which had
been brought before the Senate Investigate
ing Committee.
Joseph Coult, who appeared for Ford,
said that Barney was win ng to aid the

mittee and to give all the information de-
sired of him.
-When this was brought to Senator

overtures to him in the spring, the COM
mittee would be grateful to h.,n, for there

There is considerable doubt whether
Ford could be induced now to tell any
thing. He is free from the law and
cou not be induced to tell anything
through hopes of immunity.

The plan of selecting lawyers as lay
judges OF the Court OF Appeals, just
adopted by Governor Griggs. appears 10
be open to grave criticism. AT any RATE,
1t is by no means the all-wool, yard
wide reform that the Governors gobe.
mouche admirers are willing to take it
for. The claim is that the court is
strengthened by the increase in the num-
Der of it's members. who are learned in
the law. But on an examination of the
facts. this is perceived to be by no means
certain.
If the new members are nominated as
lawyers, whose professional skill Is to
count equally with that of the law
judges. it won.1 appear tina their selee-
ton is in violation of the spirit of the
Constitution, which sought to
balance the over technical : instincts of
the lawyers on the bench by the broader
considerations which would appeal more
strongly to the layman. In a recent
notable case in this State. which was de-
cided by three law judges of very great
learning indeed, we all saw that there
the Constitution thar they nave lately
been given credit for. 1t is very probable
that if the lay .ldge system had pre-
vailed in the Supreme Court, this impos-
sible Judgment would never have been
rendered.
But, putting out of sight the general
question of the d~esirability of lay judges
and granting for the sake of argument
that all had better be lawyers, there re-
mains serious objection to appointing law
yers in place of laymen under the present
system. The nien selected are placed in
an anomalous position. They must either
keep on practising law for a living. or else
quit practice and live on the emoluments
of the judgeship. If they stay in practice.
their position is somewhat embarrassing.
They are liable to nave cases all the time
in the court in which they are judges. If
they quit practice, they find themselves
in receipt of a liberal income of IS a day
for every day the court sits. or perhaps
$500 a year. Whether the lawyers, who
will be willing to sacrifice their practice
for this compensation, will add strength
to the court, remains to be seen.
There is, of course. another alternative.
h Governor may select lawyers who are
not in practice. But what advantage do
they offer over laymen?

4 WELCOME PROJECT.
Philharmonic Society Being Or.
ganized- Miss Turner's
Debut.

A number of influential music loving
people of Jersey City are about to or.
ganize "a Philharmonic Society of Hud-
son County, for the purpose Of giving
performances of the highest class. The
leader in the movement is Mr.. F. G.
Wolbert. the well known a%uctioneer of
this county, who has had a large ex-
perience in musical matters and is HIM
self a dilettante of no mean reputation.
Hearing that Miss Florence E. Turner,
the accomplished daughter of Mr.. Will
lam E. Turner of this city, is about
to return home from Paris, where for
the past two years she has been study
ing singing with the famous. teacher,
Marchesa, 1t occurred to Mr.. Wolbert
that a concert to mark her debut would
be a fitting compliment to one of whom
Jersey City is justly proud. To that
end Mr.. Wolbert has consulted a great
number of musicians. both professional
and amateur, and some of these held a
meeting recently and decided to organize
the Philharmonic Society and invite Miss
Turner to sing at the first concert Al
gated with the eminent leaders Anton
Seidl and Theodore Thomas, for the
purpose OF securing one of them TO lead
the concert. Negotiations with these
gentlemen are pending. and Mr.. Wolbert
hopes to be able to secure one of them.
Miss Turner will be written to today
and upon her answer of course depend
the arrangements.
It is the intention of the promoters of
the society to give the first concert al
Turner win sail for New York on the
steamer Paris, which leaves Southamp-
ton in the first week in May.
Mr.. Wolberts plan is to make the
society a permanent organization which
will give Jersey City people an oppor-
tunity to hear music not attempted since
the old society reigned. Many attempts
have been made to form a chorus Of
mixed voices, which,. with an orchestra,
will be able to produce cratorios and
works Of the highest musical type. '.The
News has repeatedly suggested the union
of the Schubert Glee Club and MeIo-
poeia Societies. when the latter society
existed. but as it was not the desire Of
some in either society to see an amalga-
nation of that character a considerable
amount of cold water was thrown on
the suggestion and nothing was done.
Mr.. Woibert. in ~reyiving that laudab1e
Idea. deserves every encouragement in
his purpose and it Is said he has received
assurances from prominent people that
they viii support him.
