ROUT FOR THE GAMBLERS.
Governor Voorhees, Special Message
to Jersey Legislature.

Trenton, March 10. Governor Voor-
hees gave the Legislature surprise
this afternoon by sending to both
Houses a vigorous message calling at
tention to violations throughout the
State of the constitutional provision
against gambling, and submitting the
draft of bill for the Legislature s
consideration.
When questioned as to his specific
reasons for the message, the Governor
said he had in mind the policy shops
in Jersey City and the gambling clubs
at Long Branch.
On motion of Mr.. Lewis, the Repub-
hcan leader, the House decided to
consider the matter without further
delay, and Mr.. Lewis at once intro
duced the bill which the Governor
submitted. 1t provides that where
any Mayor or Chief of Police receives
notice from the Governor, Attorney
General, Supreme Court Justice,
County Judge or Prosecutor, that gam
bling is going on within his jurisdic-
tion, he shall proceed to raid and
close up such gambling places within
10 days, under penalty of being held
guilty of a misdemeanor.

DRUNKEN MAN
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Was Lying Drunk ON the Trolley
Tracks ON the Millville Pike.

The presence of mind of motorman
William Paullin, of the Millville pike
line of the Traction Company, and the
automatic air brakes on car No. II
saved the life of drunken negro last
night.
When No. II left Millville Sunday
night at 500, it bowled along rapidly
the controller being wide open. About
twenty minutes past eight the car had
reached the Wood farm Two hun
dred yards this side of that point the
passengers of the car were thrown
from their seats by the car being held
with the automatic air brakes and
stopped within its length.
Just at this point the track is very
dark. Two car lengths away motor
man Paullin had discovered an object
upon the track and he had thrown the
brakes on with all their power.
When the investigation was made,
1t was found that big, burly negro
was lying right across the track un-
conscious from intoxication. He was
dragged from the tracks, across the
road and into the woods, and never
awakened.
The fellow boarded the last car and
came to Bridgeton, getting off some
where down ON South Pearl street.

CATCHING BASS
AND PICKEREL.
Game Warden Conner Has Been
Taking Many From the
Waters.

Perhaps hundred bass and as many
more pickerel have been put in Tumb-
ling Dam pond during the past few
weeks. Game Warden Conner has
been looking after this matter, and as
a result of his labors fishing will be
all the more successful during the
season which opens ON the thirtieth of
May
Just south of the big gates of the
pond little way from the Sunset
pavilion, thore is deep hole. 1t is
the extreme head of Cohansey river,
and into it the tide flows. Into this
deep hole, are almost every day many
fish, pickerel, bass, sunfish and perch.
Mr.. Conner, assisted by Park Officer
William Rasinger has been fishing
with a net and taking from the water
game fish of all sizes. These fish are
put into the big pond where they will
breed and make splendid sport for the
next and subsequent seasons.
Mr.. Conner thinks these fish came
up the river. 1t is the nature of the
bass to fight his way up streams al
ways looking for fresh water. Some
years ago the river was stocked with
bass, and undoubtedly these fish are
some of that breeding
Some of the bass and pickerel taken
from this hole have been big fellows,
and they will help to stock the pond
in the future

SPRING ELECTION
LAW IN COURT.
The Court of Errors and Appeals
Will Announce Decision on
Monday Next.

Trenton, March 18-After hearing
argument to-day in the suit instituted
to test the constitutionality of the act
abolishing spring elections in New
! Jersey, the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals announced that the decision
would be given out after a general
conference next Monday, which will
be only two weeks and day before
the regular date for the elections As
the law requires that nominations
shall be filed not less than ten days
before an election, a decision that the
act is unconstitutional The argument
against the act was made by Samuel
Kalisch, of Newark, while Senator
McCarter appeared in defense of the
measure.
Mr.. Kalisch's points, in brief, were
That the law is a special one regulat-
ing the internal affairs of cities; that
the title of the act does not express
the true object of the act; that the
act embraces more than one object
having no proper relation to each
other; that it embraces provisions of
special and local character; that the
act is in contravention of their consti-
tuition in that it deprives the voters in
cities of the right to vote separately
for officers who are elective by the
people.
Mr. McCarter, after pointing out the
confusion which would result should
the act be set aside, argued that it
was not the function of the courts to
pass upon the policy of the law, that
prerogative being intrusted to the
Legislative branch of the government.
He contended that being applicable to
all cities the law was general, and
not special, as contended by Mr.. Kali
isch He also refuted the argument
that the law was multifarious. No
constitutional inhibition, Mr.. McCar-
ter contended in conclusion, was vio-
lated by the act.

EX,PRESIDENT
PASSES AWAY.
General Benjamin Harrison Dies
at His Home i'm indianapolis.

Indianapolis, March 13.-General
Benjamin Harrison died at AS
o'clock this afternoon without regain
ing consciousness. His death was
quiet and painless, there being a
gradual sinking until the end came,
which was marked by a single gasp
for breath as life departed from the
body of the great statesman. The rel
atives, with few exceptions, and
several of his old and tried friends
were at the ex-President' bedside
when he passed away
The Generals condition was so bad
this morning, after restless night.
that the attending physicians under
stood that the end could not be far
off, and all bulletins sent out from
the sick room were to this effect, so
that the family and friends were pre-
pared when the final blow came. The
gradual failing of the remarkable
strength shown by the patient became
more noticeable in the afternoon, and
few moments before the end there
was an apparent breakdown on the
part of the sufferer, as he surrendered
to the disease against which he had
been so bravely battling for many
hours. The change was noticed by
the physicians, and the relatives and
friends who had retired from the sick
room Ito the library below were
quickly summoned, and reached the
bedside of the General before he
passed away.
None of General Harrison's children
were present at his death. Neither
Colonel Russell Harrison nor Mrs.
Mckee had reached the city, although
both were hurrying on their way to
the bedside of their dying parent as
fast as steam could carry them
Elizabeth, General Harrison's little
daughter, had been taken from the
sick room by her nurse before the end
came
The group at the bedside included
Mrs. Harrison, William HI. I'll. Miller,
Samuel Miller, his son, Rev. Dr. NJ
L. Haines, pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church, which General Harri-
son had attended for so many years
Secretary Tibbett, Doctors Jameson
and Dorsey; Colonel Daniel M. Rams
dell, Sergeant-at-Armso of the United
States Senate and close personal
friend of the dead ex-President
Clifford Arrick, and the two nurses
who have been in constant attendance.
General Harrison s two sisters and an
aunt We're also present Mrs. Harri-
son kneeled at the right hand side of
the bed, her husbands right hand
grasped in hers, while Dr. Jameson
held the left hand of the dying man,
counting the feeble pulse beats. In
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the end
came, DR.. Jameson announcing the
sad fact. The great silence that fell
on the sorrowing watchers by the bed
side was broken by the voice of Dr.
Haines raised in prayer. supplicating
consolation for the bereaved wife and
family

YOUNG GIRL
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Nary Morgan Eighteen Years Old
Tries to Commit Self Murder
Sunday Afternoon.

The waywardness and jealousy OF
Mary Morgan, aged IS years, caused
her to nearly take her life by swallow
ing red precipitate Sunday after
noon.
About 2 80 O'Clock in the afternoon
Mary Loper came running down Co
hansey street, and calling for help.
She ran to Harry G. Kirchhoff's drug
store, almost crazed, and Mr.. Kirch-
hoff, who had just stepped up the
street, but who was within hearing
distance, was called back. After be-
ing told of the attempt at suicide in
brief by Mrs. Loper, DIR. Kirchhoff
called DR.. E. S. Fogg, who went to
the house with him.
The girl lay in an unconcious condi-
tlon at the little home No. III Cohan-
sey street, nearly opposite the Central
r. R. station.
For two hours the doctors in at
tendance worked with her without
effect, but in another half hour she
regained consciousness and began to
improve. Slowly the life seemed
to be drawn in her body. At ten
O'Clock in the evening she was out of
danger
AT first DR.. Kirchhoff thought it
was arsenic poison she had taken but
on investigation found some of the
poisonous red precipitate in the back
yard where Miss Morgan had vomited
a trife. Miss Morgan will give no
other reason why she attempted self
murder than spite and jealousy. Who
the lover is is not kown.- She lives
with Mrs. Loper on Cohansey street.

was in barrel of crude petroleum on
the farm of d. H. Burge, this morn
