LONDON, March 30, 1S97.--An inquest
was held at Highongar, Essex county,
yesterday over the body of Isabel Murphy,
aged twenty-seven years, daughter of the
late Daniel Murphy of San Francisco,
sister of Lady Wolseley, and of the wife
of Luis l.. Domingrlez, Argentine Min
lister to Great Britain. The body was
identified by Madame Dominguez as that
of her sister.
The deceased woman was worth ESQ, ,o0c,
which has been in the hands Of a Roman
Catholic priest named Smullen, who con-
trolled the money as he pleased The
priest lived in the same house with Miss
Murphy and accompanied her on trip
to America. 1t was shown by the testi-
mony taken that the deceased had been
heavy drinker of alcoholic spirits for a
long time. Recently she became i'll, but
no doctor was called to attend her, the
priest prescribing for her himself, refus-
ing to allow anyone else to see her
The woman died on March "a ana post
morten examination showed that her
death was caused by an accumulation of
fat around the heart and liver, together
with the effects of alcohol and narcotics.
A verdict was rendered by the coroner 8
jury in accordance with the results of the
autopsy The woman left a will making
the priest her sole legatee and her rela-
tives are preparing to contest 1T.

IN DOUBT.
Adjournment May Not Take
Place This Week The
Reasons.
Special to the JERSEY City Nelps.

TRENTON, March 80, 1897-1she monot-
onous roll call which marked the rapid
passage of bills was kept up in both
Houses this morning. The bill to pre-
vent the Introduction of infectious, epi-
demic and pestilent diseases into the
State and to improve the present system
of of maritime quarantine was passed by
the Senate.
AT IL o'clock the Senate held caucus,
or, as in their dignity they call it, a
conference, and after considerable discus
sion resolved to support the Bicycle Bag
gage bill as a party measure. Subse-
quently Senator Herbert, chairman Of the
Committee on Railroads and Canals, re-
ported the bill, saying that the commit
tee did SO out of Difference to the request
of a number of Senators. The committee
had held the bill believing it to be un-
constitutional, and he believed the courts
would so hold
The bill then passed its second reading
and on Senator Skirm's motion it passed
to third reading. Mr.. Skirm advocated
the bill eloquently, forcibly declaring that
army of wheelmen. The measure was
also favored by Senators Ketcham and
w. M. Johnson. and it passed without a
Lloyd's Marriage License bill passed to
a second reading with the Senate amend
nlentS and ordered to be engrOSSed.
The bill extending the provision of the
Martin act to towns and townships was
passed after a short debate. Senator
DAILY advocated the measure and Senator
Kuhl opposed it. The bill, however,
passed by a vote of l3 to 8.
Much doubt is expressed this morning
as to whether final adjournment will
take place this week Several things
stand in the way of such a desirable re-
suit. First is that branch of the Su-
preme Court, consisting of Justices Gum
mere and Garrison, who heard the argu-
ment upon the constitutionality of the
election extender act. their de-
there is well grounded sus-.
| piclon here that should the decision
be against the bill the Legislature will
be held until another bill can be passed,
meeting, If possible. the objections OF the
Court Another huge barrier in the way
of final adjournment this week Is the
| Constitutional amendments. Both Sena-
tor Voorhees, and Senator Johnson have
made all sorts of solemn vows that they
| will pass their individual judiciary
amendments or know the reason why.
They are hard at work marshaling their
forces, and the battle is expected to open
| at any minute now. The Senate has not
| yet adopted the adjournment resolution,
| it does, it is generally believed that the
! adjournment will not take place before
| Friday.

STATE HOUSE, Trenton, March 80,
1S97-Justices Gummere and Garrison to-
day filed an opinion in the case of the
Jersey City and Newark anti-spring cleo
ton bill. The Court holds that the re-
ceiving of the certificate or nomination

TRENTON, May 80, 1897.-The Legisla-

evenings session, and very little trans
pired to relieve the monotony of con-
tinuous roll call There was little re-
lief in the Senate caused by debate on
the Asylum bill dividing the State into
two districts for the care of the insane,
which was taken up on third reading at
nine O'Clock, according to previous or
der.
Mr.. Vreeland saw no valid reason why
the bill should be passed, but every rea-
son why it should become a law The
present system, he maintained, had
worked well, the managers had been
faithful in discharge of their duties and

SENATE GRABBBRS.
Republicans Selling Their Souls
to Populists for Committee
Chairmanships.

WASHINGTON, March 80 1S97-It is
understood that a combination has been
made with certain Populists whereby
they are to vote with the Republicans on
the question of reorganization of the
Senate. The Populists who are to be
given good chairmanships are said to be
Senators Jones of Nevada, Stewart and
Kyle. 1t is understood also that Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts opposes such a
combination and will not agree to any
recognition of the Populists.
The Republicans of the Senate this
morning put into motion the machinery
looking to the reorganization of the Sem
ate SO far as the committee vacancies are
concerned. The caucus was called for ten
o'clock and was promptly attended by al
most every one of the straight Republi-
cans of the body. Adjournment was not
taken until 1880.
Senator Allison, Chairman of rhe eau
Gus Committee, made an elaborate re-
port, in which he told of the troubles
that had confronted, and which still
stood in the way of the COMMITTEES Many
conferences had been had with the Demo-
cratic steering committee, and at no time
were the members Of that committee,
man, willing to admit that there was
any changed condition in the Republican
party since the Senate committees had
been organized by the Republicans. The
Democrats insisted, said Mr.. Allison, that
they should have the same number of
men on the committees as they had un-
der the previous arrangements, and de-
clined to permit the Republicans to take
an additional number sufficient to outvote
the silver Republicans who had bolted the
st. Louis convention, and who were now
members of committees, if they con-
tinued with the Democrats
Short speeches were made by Senators
Hale, Gallinger, Wolcott Wilson and
others. The only new member who spoke
was Senator Mason of Illinois, He con-
tended that the new Senators were en-
/ titled to committee assignments and thai
the effort should be made to place them,
be attached to the straight Republicans
They would at least have made an effort
and more than that the new Senators
could not ask that much, however ht
said, they were entitled to.
Mr.. Allison stated that the situation
had been carefully canvassed and while
sufficient votes to pass the necessary
resolution were not now in sight, he said
that the committee hoped within a very
short time to be able to say that the
votes were at hand that would give the
Republicans the absolute control of the
membership of the committees.
The result of the discussion, which was
of a decidedly varied and somewhat nebu-
louS character, was a resolution instruct
ing Chairman Allison to appoint COM
m1ttee on committees which will assign
the Republicans to the various commit
| tees on the basis insisted upon by the
Republicans. This will at least put the
machinery in motion and force the fight
ing to finish.
