When the reading of the Journal Of the
previous day had been concluded and a
mass of routine matters disposed of. the
Secretary read a letter from the officers
of the Episcopal fund, which gave the
pastors their first chill. 1t was a formal
demand for them to raise $3,4s6, the pro
rata amount for the Newark Conference

Especial to '9The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, April s, 1Ss7.-Governor
Griggs will be at the State House today
in attendance on the Court of Pardons.
1t is expected that the Governor will also
take action on some of the scores of
passed bills now in his hands. The Legis-
lature passed in all 292 bills and two Joint
resolutions, and up to date only 81 of
these measures have been acted upon by
the Governor. That this large number
of bills is in the hands of the Chief Ex-
ecutive is due largely to the legislators
themselves. They practically did moth
ing up to the last week, and then hurried
all sorts of measures through. When Mr..
Albeit was Governor and large Quantities
of bills were left in his hands a hue and
cry went w all over the State. denounc-
ing such a procedure. If it was a matter
subject to righteous denunciation then 1t
is a matter of righteous denunciation
now. 1t gives one man entirely too much
power. 9
Among the measures in the Governors
hands is the marriage license bill. which
was amended SO as to apply only to non
residents. 1t is not likely that the Cover
nor will approve of this measure. In fact
the Constitution of the United States We
toes it in advance, by guaranteeing to the
citizens of each State all the PRIVILEGES
and immunities of citizens in the several
States, and no State can constitutionally
abridge by law the privilege of any citi-
zen of another State that does not abridge
the privileges of it's own citizens. In this
respect the marriage license bill now in
the hands of the Governor is clearly un-
constitutional. as it requires citizens OF
other States DESTROYS of marriage in New
Jersey to secure a license and pay for
the same. and hedges the ceremony about
with other conditions not imposed by the
bill upon our own citizens.
In 1894 Governor WertS vetoed a SINH
lar bill on the ground that 1t was uncon-
Stitutional.

ROBBED A SCHOONER.

River pirates boarded the schooner Ida
G. Shorthand some time early his morn
ing at the Delaware, L~ackawanna and
Western Railroad docks, and carried off
a compass valued at $50, $40 pinnacle and
an overcoat. Captain William D. McIn-
tyre of the schooner, says he believes the
thieves are the men who robbed other
vessels recently in the same neighbor-
hood. The thieves must have carried
their booty away in a rowboat, as it is
almost impossible to reach the schooner
from the dock. The police of Hoboken
and of this city have been notified and
an attempt will be made to place the
pirates under arrest.

DAVIS ASSAULTED
The Bicycle Riding Teach
er Meets Bill Norton.
Trouble over Newspaper Item,
Davis Badly Hurt.
No Arrests.

There was an unpleasant occurrence
outside of independence Park pavilion
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The parties concerned were William
Norton and F. w. Davis, the latter the
man who runs the cyclery in the pa
vilion. The story told by Davis was
about as follows:
81 was inside the pavilion, and went
out upon seeing some one near the
gate. Arriving there l saw it was Nor
ton in a brake, and asked him if there
was anything l could do for him. Pc
this he replied that he thought he was
privileged to go where he pleased. In
this l acquiesced.
"Norton's next move was to call me
an insulting name, and accused me of
causing the writing of a certain piece
about him in the Advertiser of this
morning. l disclaimed all knowledge
of what he was talking about. Again
he repeated his insulting language, and
persisted in saying that 1 had been
instrumental in causing the piece he
mentioned to be put in the paper.
"Just as any other man would have
done after having been iinsulted, [
took a hand in the matter and at
tackled Norton, and that with a stick.
He jumped at me, got me down and
battered me over the head with the
stick Just as 1 thought all was over
two ladies came along and prevented
any further trouble"
When Davis was seen he presented
a pitiable spectacle. His face was cut
and scratched; blood was flowing from
his left ear, and there was cut on the
top of his head about two inches long
and quite deep. DR.. Wood was sum-
moned and Davis was made comforta-
BILE.
The ladies who saw the occurrence
corroborated the story of Davis.
The article referred to by Norton
before the encounter was one in which
it was stated that John Sylvia would
send a challenge to William Norton to
run ffve-mile race against his horse
Ralph. Nothing detrimental to Mr.
Norton was said, and, indeed, such a
race as the one proposed would be a
new and interesting thing in the line
of sports on the Islands. The reporter
never saw Davis in regard to the mat
ter, nor did the latter have anything tC
say about it at all. There were but
three or four persons who knew that
such a thing was on the tapis.

DEPUTY MARSHAL RETURNS.
Was Not After Opium But ON
Pleasure Trip.


Deputy Marshal Hitchcock returned
from Kaunakakai on the Mauna Loa
yesterday, after spending a few days
in hunting on his father-in-laws land.
Referring to an article in one of the
evening papers on the day of his de-
parture, Mr.. Hitchcock expressed sur
prise that things could have been so
far stretched as to have him after
opium on the Island of Molokai. The
facts of the case are these: Marshal
Brown was to have gone to Molokai
on a hunting trip himself but owing
to the departure of the Attorney Gen
eral it was impossible for him to do So
Word had been sent to Kaunakakai and
a boat would be awaiting the steamer
off the Island of Molokai. Mr.. Hitch
cock was given permission to go in
the Marshal's place.
The article referred to had the Dep
uty Marshal and Chester Doyle slowed
away in the Kinau upon her depart
ure, when, as a matter of fact, the two
men walked aboard in the plain sight
of everyone. and stood on the deck as
the steamer passed out into the chan
mel
Asked if he caught anything, Mr..
Hitchcock replied that he had sue
ceeded in bagging two deer at WaikO
lu.
However, Notwithstanding the fact
that he was off on a pleasure trip be
had his eye open TO business at all
times. While at Mapulehu he saw four
native men coming down the long road
that leads to that place, and upon the
back of each was what appeared to be
a pack. They entered a house nearby,
and, suspecting. an okolehao deal on
hand, he sent word to Deputy Sheriff
Trimble who went to the place and
found a goodly quantity Of the liq-
uor. Only one man was in the house.
but he was arrested.
