TRENTON, April 10, 1901.-There was
great scarcity of members of the Legis-
lature at the State House yesterday, and
those who were there were from the i'm
mediate vicinity of Trenton. No one from
Hudson or Essex called upon the Cover
nor in regard to the extra session and
the general impression about the State
House was that there will be no extra
session this year. When questioned upon
the subject the Governor refused to COM
nit himself one way or the other. He
said that he would not make up his mind
what he will do in the matter until he
had been waited upon by the committee
of Essex citizens appointed at a recent
meeting in Newark and acquainted with
their views.
Lawrence S. Mott of Orange, one of
the committee, was at the State House,
but he was there on other business. He
said that he had not heard from the
committee since he was made member.
He understood that they were waiting un-
til they could get definite assurances from
the Hudson members of the Legislature
that they will help Essex pass the Pas
sale bills and that nothing would be
done until those assurances had been re-
ceived.
The State House Commission, consisting
of the Governor, the Comptroller and the
State Treasurer spent over an hour yes
terday selecting carpets for the new wing
of the State House, which is now complet-
ed and ready to be furnished. The con-
tract for carpets was awarded to Bam-
berger of Newark.
Governor Voorhees, was waited upon
by delegation from Cumberland county
today and invited to attend the reception
to be rendered Chancery Clerk Edward c.
Stokes, at Millville, next Friday The
Governor accepted the invitation cordiai-
ly and promised to attend.
Upon receipt of letter from General
Sewell stating that he did not expect TO
return from Hot Springs for two weeks,
and urging meeting of the military
board in the meantime, the Governor de-
eided to call the meeting for Thursday,
April Is. The board will then select a site
for the Trenton armory, and will also
fix a date for the proposed encampment OF
the First Brigade.

STRUCK BITING WOMAN.
Policeman Tooman Had to
Silence a Prisoner With
His Club.

Lizzie Jefferson, of No. 315 Grand street,
was arrested by Policeman Tooman, of
the First precinct station, yesterday
afternoon after desperate struggle in
which it was necessary for the officer to
strike the woman on the forehead with
his club. A slight wound and a severe
headache were the result to the woman.
The blow was necessary in order to com
pei the prisoner to stop biting Tooman
AS it was she inflicted a severe wound on
his left arm with her teeth that made it
necessary for the policeman to go to the
City Hospital for treatment. Her wound
was also dressed at the hospital, after
which she was taken to the Third pre-
cinct police station and locked up until
this morning, when she was arraigned
before Police Justice Hoos and fined $40.
a cell.
Tooman saw a great crowd gathered
ABOUT Mrs. Jefferson'S house late in the
afternoon and he went to investigate.
lie found the woman drunk and roaring
Like bull, abusing her neighbors and
using shocking language. He ordered her
to desist and go into the house. With
a string of oaths, the woman refused to
obey, and Tooman decided to arrest her.
He placed his left hand ON her shoulder
and started toward the signal box. She
immediately began to punch and kick
Tooman, and the officer had his hands
full. Suddenly she made vicious bite
at Tooman's face. He pushed her head
back with his hand. Then she bit him on
the left arm until she almost made him
howl with pain, though he is a big, strong
man. He could not make her let go,
and finally, as a last resort he struck
her on the forehead with his club The
woman was stunned and all the fight was
taken out of her. With blood streaming
down her face she was led, unresisting,
to the signal box and later taken to the
station house in the patrol wagon An
examination of the officers coat showed
that the prisoners teeth had penetrated
the cloth and cut the skin of his arm
drawing the blood.
Tooman has been in the Police Depart
ment for years and has an excellent
record He was never kTwn to use
unnecessary violence on a prisoner His
superiors consider his action proper.

song, Goodbye, Dolly Gray. Miss Car
us had promised TO be present and the
committee was at a loss to explain her

floral stage decorations was naturally a
