NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE,
Bill to Punish Annrchy Before the
Assembly.


Assembly.
TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 2G.-In the
New Jersey legislature Asscmblyman
Lords bill to punish anarchy was the
subject of Il debate yesterday between
the intr1ducer and Assemblyman
Waite. The latter thought the bill
had been badly drawn and that under
strict Interpretation of its provisions
it was made crime for any man to
criticise any administration that might
be in power in this state. Mr.. Waite
pointed out that the bill classed as an
anarchist any person opposed to any
and an governments" This, he said,
was, in his opinion, designation that
might be held to apply to Il person op-
posed to particular government or
administration. Mr.. Lord insisted that
the designation meant only those who
were opposed to every form of govern
ment.
The house after humorous debate
passed the bin appropriating $4,000 TO
enable Professor Smith to make ex-
periments i'll the direction of Kidding
New Jersey of mosquitoes. Professor
Smith is confident that he can reduce
the mosquito evil very materially by
drainage of marshy places that are
breeding spots for the pest.
1t was finally agreed that the bill
should lie over.
A Joint session of the two houses Of
the legislature was held at 3 o'clock
to give an audience to the committee
from the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition commission of st. Louis, who
have come east to urge upon the diff.
ferent legislatures the wisdom Of max.
ing appropriations for state buildings
and state exhibits at the big st. Louis
exposition next year.

NEW YEARS EVE.

4 am thinking to-right of the year that is
gone,
OF its hours of grief or OF glee;
4 anu watching Its swift passing current
glide on,
TO be lost in eternity's sea.
AS the months have rolled by, you hav.
sped on your way,
Bearing onward TO veal or to woe;
Along flower-fri:ged banks you have
known lo delay,
Ever ceaselessiy onward you flow.
BY your wh;e-cresled waters full many a
bark
Has been shattered and washed on the
=. shore.
While its timbers with witnessing fissurt
! ard mark.
Speak In silence OF struggles now Ger.
And In fancy l see stately ships sail away
Sail away on new waters Tonight;
With their white spreading sails on thu
glad New Years day,
Speeding on III expectancy bright.
oh. how many the storms that will bea
| on their sides.
! And how many cold w!ntry blast!
And the shores will be lined by the storm
tossing tides
Like the shores of the year that is past
But my own little bark. will 1t weath tn
gale?
Will II breast the waves fury and might
Win 1t glide on its course though will
storm-tattered sail?
VIII 1t speed toward the haven o
light?
Yes for Christ is my Captain, ny PHO
and Guide,
Who Of Old calmed the waves of th
sea;
] will trust Him for all, and keep close t
His side,
He will save as on old Gallee.
30 ! welcome the New Year, ard launc'
out my bark.
Well know that no III car befall.
j will fear not the tempests. nor wave
high ard dark.
Since my Pilot will guide through then

BUFFECTBD
BY BYTHESTORM

Lewes, Del, Eeb. Z5.-A wild
northeast gale, blowing over 30
miles an hour, has been prevailing
hers since daylight, and the sea
has been breaking over The Dela-
4 ware Breakwater and the new Har-
Dor of Refuge with terrific forse. A
dense fog and drizzling rain accom-
pany the gale.
The life-sayers are patrolling
the beach with more tEan ordinary
vigilance, fearing disasters to ship
ing before daylight.
A big four-masted British bark,
supposed to be the Lyndhurst,
from Java for Philadelphia, with a
valuable sugar cargo, is ashore on
the Hen and Chickens Shoals, just
outside Cape Henlopen. Owing to
the gale it is impossible for life
savers to board her. The ship is
burning distress signals, but there
are no tugs iii the harbor, all hay
ing gone to the wrecked French
bark Alice and Isabelle, ashore at
the Assateague Inlet. The steam
pilot boat Philadelphia will prob
ably assist her.
The bark is on the outer shore
but the life-savors expect the sea
to drive her inside the shoul on
the high water, and it will place
the ship in a position. OF great
! peril. There are fears that she
will break up before daylight and
that all on board will be lost.
Vessels which met with accident
in the storm several days ago are
beginning to arrive. The British
steamship Yeoman from Galveston
for Liverpool, towed to the
Delaware Breakwater on Monday
night the Spanish steamship Ereza
from Fiume, Austria, for Philadel
iphia, with 10000 bags Of beet
sugar. The Ereza lost her pro-
peller four days ago, when 425
miles off the coast, during heavy
weather. For - hours the Yeo-
man was hove to before she sue
ceeded in getting Il towing hawser
to the disabled Ereza, and even
when the line was made fast the
Yeoman experienced great trouble
in towing her prize to the Dela-
ware Breakwater.
The pilot boat Philadelphia re-
lieved the Yeoman OF her charge
and towed the Ereza to safe
anchorage inside the new harbor
of refuge. The Yeoman's coal sup
ply has been practically exhausted
and she will have to coal up again
to enable her to proceed on her
voyage. Owing to the great risk
the owners of tho Ycoman will get
u large salvage award for their
work.
! The French bark Alice and Isa-
belle, from Sables dOlonno for
Philadelphia, in ballast, ran ashore
early yesterday morning on the
Virginia coast, three and one-half
| miles southeast of the Assatcaguc
Life Saving Station. AS soon as
the stranliny was reported the
tugs North America, William
Cooley and Toaser left the Della
ware Breakwatcr under full heads
of steam, racing for the vessel.
The crew of the French craft re-
main on board. The Alice and
Isabelle is u stecl-built, bulk-oil
carrier and is owned in Paris.
