Only Seven.
Special to tho Jersey CITY Ne,rs.

TRENTON, Jan. 8, 1S96.-The
Hudson and Essex members came
down today to confer as to their lines
of action during the coming ses-
sion. Col. Sam D. Dickinson was
on hand and had a conference with
General w. J. Sewell'sN man BEETLE.
! t is believed they will control the
Hudson men.
Some diff Guilty occurred before the
Hudson and Essex members got to-
gether. Four of the Essex men were
absent and the remainder couldn't
vouch that the absent ones would be
bound py the conference. Hudson
told Essex she wouldn't give Ii votes
for Z, but intinated that they would
support Duncan for Clerk If Essex
eleven votes would be given to G. F..
Sutherland or Henry M. Nutzhorn
and an assistant sergeant-at-arms the
latter to be waived at pinch.
Essex couldn't give this assurance and
the conference broke up. Another
confab will be held on Monday night,
but the general impression is that the
two counties won't unite.

afternoon filed his decree in the di-
vorce case brought BY Mrs. Anna
Sloane Allen against her husband,
Rev. John G. Allen, pastor Of Bergen
Baptist Church. The Vice Chancel-
lor gives Mrs: Allen her freedom and
orders Pastor Allen to pay her ali
mony of 81. 80 per week.

refused to support her, alleging that
he had only enough for himself and
his father and sister He procured
from her her signature selling some
property, promising to become recon-
ciled to her, but after he procured the
signature he told the trustees Of his
church he wouldn't live with her.
Counsellor Lindabury fayed the
pastor during his argument and
showed that the pastor and his adopt
ed sister had caused no end OF scam
dal in Brooklyn BY their conduct.

temptible. action by q minister to keep
people ia the house against the wish
OF his wife and when his act made

THE NEWS IN SPITE
or Difficult TIES.

Today, we are obliged to ask the
indulgence of the public for whatever
shortcomings may be found in this
edition. Publication is made under
great mechanical disadvantages, and
for once we IRE obliged to ignore all
standards and be content to iss ue the
best paper that the circumstances
will permit, however imperfect in
itself.
Some time last evening, the wire
of the Jersey City Electric Company,
which supplies power to our compos-
ing room, appears to have broken
loose, and crossing some other circl1it t
burned out portion of the electric
motor to which it was attached. This
di,ables all of our Mergenthaler
III, lines, and obliges us for this day,
at least. to return to hand compost
tion, without proper preparation
or an adequate force of men to set up
the entire paper at its usual standard.
All we count on doing is to present
the main features Of the days news.
and rely upon our record as guar
antee that only an occurrence which
could not be foreseen and situation
which is beyond immediate remedy
are responsible for the shortcomings
which must be only too apparent to
all.
