SPECIAL SESSION TO LAST.
Biennial Sessions and Voorhees, Ju-
dietary Men at Work..

The probabilities that the special seS-
sion of the Legislature, which meets
next Tuesday at noon in the State House,
at Trenton, will last longer than one
day are growing stronger every day. Mr..
W.. H. Corbin was in the Court of Chanc
cry this morning, securing the signatures
of lawyers to a petition praying he Leg
islature to pass the Voorhees, judiciary
amendments to the Constitution. There
were only a few of the members of the
Bar present, but Mr.. Corbin made the
best out of them. He first approached
William R.. Barricklow. who refused abb
solutely to sign the petition. Washington
B. Williams said the amendments, al
though not all that was needed, were a
step in the right direction, and therefore
signed his name. Ex-Assemblyman
David D. Zabriskie and one or two others
signed the petition. Sergeant-at-Arms
Andrew B~reidenbach of the House was
asked how long he expected to stay at
Trenton for the special session, and he
| replied a week at least, if not longer.
Mr.. B-reidenbach is well acquainted with
the politics of his county (Essex) and
is generally acquainted with the leaders
/ and their policy.
