Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."l
TRENTON. June 2, 1S97.-There was
very little life stirring in the lower cor
ridors at the State House yesterday. The

tfeians would be on hand, but they failed
to materialize.

this city to serve ad interim as a member
OF the Asylum Board for the Trenton dis

was harmed last week with the other
members. The Democratic Senators, how
ever. refused to confirm Mr.. Rice because
be had failed to support the free silver
doctrine last fall.
The other members of the board were
confirmed at the time, and it was under
stood hat the Governor would annoint
Mr.. Rice ad interim.
Mr. Rice has been a merchant in this
city for many years and has held several
public positions.
The State Board of Assessors and State
Board OF Taxation each held a. meeting
other than routine business.
The Board Of Taxation has decided to
sit in Jersey City on Tune is and hear ap-
peals- On the 18th they will go to TOMS
River to hear appeals from the assess
ments il the borough of Lavalette.
A meeting of the Executive mint
