TRENTON, March Z, 1S99.-It was ex-
ceedingly lively here yesterday afternoon
and evening for this hitherto dull session.
There seemed to be more visitors han
usual at the Executive Department, and
the Governor. who arrived early, was kept
busy receiving his callers. Among the
early arrivals were the two United States
Senators from New Jersey, General Will
lam J. Sewell and John Kean. The Gem
eral was admitted to the presence of the
great mar from Elizabeth while his jun
Tor was obliged to sit outside and wait.
He consoled himself by talking on gem
eral matters with Senator Stokes and
CAPTAIN s'Dick" Reading. General Sewell
was closeted with the Governor a long
tine and it was said that they devoted
their time entirely to discussing the re-
organization of: the National Guard. It
was understood, however, that the Cen
eral urged upon the Governor the neces-
sity of an early adjournment Of the Leg
islature, and ~besougnt him to use all his
endeavors to bring it about in two OF
three weeks at the latest.
The question of adjournment was the
one TOPIC Of conversation about the Stare
House last night. The resolution passed
bv the House last week reached the Sen
ate last evening, and was referred to thu
judiciary Committee, often called "cold
storage because in It 50 many measures

OFFICE GRABBING PARTY.
Another Bill to Perpetuate Re-
publicans in Places Intro
duced by Mr.. Nicklin.
especial to ..rhe Jersey city News."]

~ lSDecldl 10 II JCloCy lily ~
TRENTON, March 7, 1Ss9.-Another
scheme of the Republicans to perpetuate
themselves in office by the very means
they condemned in the Democrats, came
to Eight last night in a bill introduced into
the House by Mr.. Nicklin, of Trenton. 1t
provides that no change in the ward lines
of any municipality can be made IN ten
years. provided the present lines were laid
out under the act of 1895. Trenton is SO
districted that the Republicans control
almost all her boards, and if this bill be-
comes a law will continue to control them
for years to come.
An important bill by Mr.. Murphy re-
quires superintendent of Schools in New
ark and Jersey City to perform such
duties and lave such powers as are or
may be imposed upon County Superin-
tendents, and as may be prescribed by the
city Boards of Education; which boards
may fix such city superintendent salary
not to exceed $1,000 per annum.
Other House bills were:-
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures sidewalks to be
laid, and paid for by assessments, along
the loop Of the Boulevard in Hudson
county.
Mr.. Kelaher-Provides that telegraph,
telephone and electric light poles shall be
at least seventy-five feet apart, and if
more should apparently be needed, all
companies must unite and use jointly one
large pole.
in Jersey City and Newark to try all
cases of assault and battery petit lar
ceny, malicious mischief, embezzlement
and false pretences, where sum involved
is under $40; adultery, fornication and
lewdness, if trial by jury be waived.
Mr.. Hail-Authorizes the incorporation
of tunnel companies, and is for the pur-
pose of giving a new company power to
tunnel from Jersey City to New York
and Camden to Philadelphia.
Mr.. Mungle - Authorizes governing
bodies of cities to appropriate $25, 900 for
the purposes of furnishing, refurnishing
and equipping hospitals.

are frozen to death by the frigidity OF It's
very properties. The general impression
last night seemed to be that about TWO
weeks more would bring the end OF this
do-nothing Legislature.
Mr.. Kean's mission to the Governor, ne
declared, was a purely social one and the
visit had no significance. In the evening
General Sewell and Mr.. Kean held a re-
ception in room 100, at the Trenton House,
and received the homage of the faithful.
General P. Farmer. Wanser of Jersey City,
dined with the two Senators and had
a talk with General Sewell later in the
evening over the National Guard reorgan-
ization scheme. The bipartisan bill for
Jersey City was here again accompanied
by its keepers, Colonel Samuel Dickinson
and Edward w. Woolley. With them IN
order to give a tone of responsibility and
responsibility to the measure, were Jonn
of the Jersey City Fire Board,
Ed" Mitchell and Hen" Gruper.
Mitchell KEPT his eye on his own
little measure to Increase his salary an
the time and let no opportunity slip for
putting in a good word for it.. The heavy
sponsor for by-partisanism had another
talk with the Governor on tneir pli, ~
they found the Executivemore dlff1cult TO
move than the Erie tracks. Ihey ap-
parently made no Roadway and getting
the ear of General Sewell, Colonel sam
poured into his ear such a sad tale OF the
woes of the Hudson County Republicans
destitute condition., that those who stood
by declare they saw tears in the olu
mans eyes. Nevertheless he bill did not
appear in either house last night.
John Wahl Queen was another VISITOR
and his heart was almost broken Wnen
the clerk of the House read a resolu-
ton extending the privilege of the floor TO
John Woolley Queen Mr.. Queen was
looking after some bills AFFECTING Jersey
City.
Aaron S. Baldwin, Of Hoboken,, who
came to Trenton merely to look on, mao a
short talk with the Governor. Mayor
Hinchliffe of Paterson was among me
Visitors and he was working necessarily
AGAINST Senator Johnson's bill providing
for a commission to carry out the prov1s-
ions of the report of the Passaic Pollution
Commission. He say that it Will Dank-
rupt the city of Paterson to build the
sewer called for by the Commissioners;
The city. he says, is now near the dept
limit. n to add two or more millions 20
her debt at this time would be It's man
cial ruin. Mr.. Hinchliffe made little II any
progress, as outside of Paterson the peo-
Die along the river demand the passage OF
the bill. s
Governor voorhees, has again incurred
the enmity of the country
TIC a large delegation of editors and pup
fishers who called upon him last night ne
fiatly declared that he would not ap-
prove any bill thai provided for the pub
~iication Of the laws again in the news
papers.

Judge Held Court IL Hours q Day and thsn
Sawed Wood.

From the Utica Observer.
Speaking Of the sitting of the Rennos court
martial which begins at o'clock In the morning,
an old lawyer remarked to-day: Il think IL pity
that Martin Grover Is dead. for II no were living
he would be able to point TO Col Jouaust as tho
latest convert TO his theor Of making judges work.
Why when Judge Grover was holding circuit In
Wyoming, he amused all the lawyers he didn't
disgust by opening his court al o'clock in tho
morning. and running Il with only an hour of at
noon until eight in tho evening. "Taint as long
as farmers have 10 work explained this wise old
iurist and I'll tell you what II is II had my way,
I'd open court at seven every day in the year
And what would you do before that time In
the morning2' asked one Of the attorneys who was
standing by.
I'D get up and dress. and eat my breakfast
and saw wood until the time came for court 10 OPEN
responded the Judge calmly.
"Out OF that statement grew the fiction that
Judge Grover while working the lawyers eleven
hours day was paying his board by saving
wood between times for the family with whom he
boarded"
