TRENTON, Feb. 8, 1S97.-The House
made a valiant effort to do some work
by holding a session yesterday afternoon.
Something was ACCOMPLISHMENTS much.
Leade Derousse offered a resolution ex-
tending sympathy to the Pennsylvania
Assembly at the loss of the State House.
Two bills introduced by Mr.. GIedhill of
Passaic were passed. They were:-House
II, amends the disorderly persons act by
providing that a person charged with nom
support shall only be required to give
bond, when arrested, for his appearance
at a hearing fixed by the Justice: House
Is, provides that a person convicted of
n~on-support shall give a bond binding
himself to carry out the decree of the
court. AS the law now stands the man
who is arrested under the disorder1y act
for non-support of his wife, is obliged to
give bond to appear for a hearing and to
abide the decision of the court. MIR.
Gledhill, for some reason or other, thinks
that the man should be compelled at first
to give a bond only for his appearance.
Several bills were received from the
committees and advanced to second read

as third reading. When the House meets
again on Monday there will be quite a
calendar ready for it's attention and much
may be accomplished if the Assembly is
| so inclined.

A third authorizes Boards of Education
in first class cities to acquire lands upon
which to erect school houses.
