BODY SNATCH|NG BILL.
What They Called the First
Bill Killed in the House,
Legislative Routine.

Especial to THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, Feb. %, 1S99.-The session
of the Legislature on Tuesday afternoon
was very brief and little of Importance
was transacted. There was some feeble
protest against adjourning for the week
in the House. Some wanted a night ses-
sion and others wanted to sit this MORN
ing, but the leaders snapped the whip
and the seventh week closed as the others
before it have.
Several bills, however, passed, one of
which, Mr.. Murray's bill to sell cemetery
lands, provoked the only debate of the
session. The title of the act vas ito
amend the act authorizing THE sale of
lands owned by religious corporations or
societies in which burials had been
made" Mr.. Murray explained that the
object of the bill was to prevent the re-
moyal of the bodies buried in such lands
without the consent of their relatives,
or until they had an opportunity to enter
objections to such removal in writing
The Hudson members were all opposed
to the bill and Mr.. Albeit, who led the
opposition to it, said that Mr.. Murray had
probably, without realizing that fact, in.
correctly stated the object of the bill. In
stead of throwing additional ~afeguards
around the care of the remains of de-
ceased persons, it actually removed the
safeguards of the bill it was sought te
amend. objection in writing on the par
Of the relatives after the publication of q
notice of sale in an obscure paper would
be rather difficult, and for that, if for ne
other reason, the bill should be killed.
Assembiymen Murphy, Bruder and Mar,
neil followed in a similar strain and Mr.
Murray replied with the assertion that i
was probably the opponents, and not he
who misunderstood the provisions Of sht
hin
We'll, / am one of the opponents OF the
bin, and it's because / understand It's
provisions thoroughly" shouted Mr.. Car
roll, Of Hudson. 1T Is a body-snatching
