tOuSh Ahcros
TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 23.-By an over
whelming vote, both branches of the
Legislature to-day, decided that New
Jersey shall have the credit of having at
least some semblance of pride in the
honor conferred upon one of it's Illus
trious sons, by sending a representative
body of troops to the Inauguration,
A bill appropriating $500 to pay the
expenses OF provisional brigade at the
ceremonies, which was killed by failure
OF two-thirds vote in the Senate last
week, was resurrected. A new bill was
introduced by Leader Voorhees, last night
and promptly reported with a favorable
recommendation this morning. Then it
was advanced to second reading, and
promptly referred to the proper COM
mlttee for engrossing. Under suspension
OF the rules this afternoon it was brought
up Tor final passage, and though "Ob-
Jector'' Parry, of Burlington, and Kuhl,
OF Hunterdon, again fought it with all
their strength, they were powerless to
defeat it. There were but sixteen Sena-
tors present last week, and three voted
against the bill. Eighteen were on hand
to-day and the same three-Parry, Kuhl
and Barber-again voted against it, but
fifteen affirmative votes, the necessary
two-thirds, were cast in its favor, and it
passed.
House Also Passes Bill.
Over in the House the bill identical
with the Senate Appropriation bill was
also passed, despite the objections of AS
semblyman Wildes, who is likewise from
Burlington County. Wildes submitted
an amendment providing that the money
needed be taken out of this years appro-
prlatlon for the maintenance of the en-
campment at Sea Girt.
Leader Derousse opposed the amend
ment, and it was lost. Mr. Thorn said he
was opposed to the bill because the ap-
preparation was too small. New Jersey,
he said, will be laughed at with her one
regiment, and the entire brigade should
be sent to Washington. Mr.. Gledhill
said the niggardly appropriation was the
height of monumental meanness and no
shabby genteel representation should be
made. Mr.. Goldenhorn spoke earnestly
for the bill and favored sending the entire
division to Washington.
After some further discussion the bill
passed by vote of SO to IL. Those voting
IN the negative were Messrs. Bowers
Crlspen, Flummerfelt, Harrison ,Lawshe
Lloyd, Macarthur, Nelson Powers. Van
Doren, Watkins and Wildes. Mr.. Thorn,
of Mercer, did not vote
Light for Atlantic City's Walk.
Senator Hoffman's bin giving Atlantic
City power to issue more bonds for con-
structlng the necessary conduits to carry
electric light wires for the beautiful new
ocean walk was passed by the Senate.
The wires will be entirely out of sight
and the lights will be of such ornate con-
struction as to give the walk added
beauty.
The Senate passed Senator Stanger's
bill, under which it is designed to
straighten the line between Cumberland
and Gloucester county, by restoring a
wedge-shaped bit of land to Cumber-
land, from which it was taken for gerry
Wandering purpoees.
Senator Herbert, of the committee on
Railroads and Canals, reported the Rail-
road Commission bin, with number of
minor amendments.
The Senate, in executive session, con-
firmed the following nominations, sent in
February s: Law Judge of Gloucester
county, John S. Jessup; Judge of Pas
sale City District Court, William W.
Watson; Pilot Commissioners, John r.
Dewar. Henry w. Miller, Henry c. Gu
lick, Daniel G. Chase, Elias A. Newell
and Mark Townsend; Manager of Home
for Feeble Minded Women, u. K. Pang-
born.
Senator Ross introduced bill provid-
ing for the incorporation of Ocean City
as city. Senator Francis introduced a
similar bill, providing tor the similar in
corporation of Asbury Park.
Little Work in the House.
The House loitered along through the
day with commendable effort to make
show of doing something, but it was a
sorry attempt. While business was in
progress Mr.. Gledhill gave notice that he
would, at the proper time, move to re.
lieve the Committee on Railroads and
Canals of further consideration of his BIZ
cycle baggage bill.
Several minor bills were passed, and
number introduced. One of the latter
creates some new officers at $500 per
year. 1t was introduced by Assembly,
man Brown, and provides for board of
examiners to issue licenses to stationary
engineers.
Assemblyman Demarest, of Hudson,
introduced bills providing for under
ground pipes or subways for all tele-
graph and telephone wires in first and
second class cities and requiring all cleo
trio light, heat and power companies to
put their wires under ground. The
House adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing.
