FIRE WAS IN STOVE.
Alarm Sounded But the Firemen
Could Not Find Blaze.

There was a fire about $40 O'Clock
last night-in a stove. An alarm was
sounded from box So, at State and
Commerce street, and the firemen re-
sponded, but they were not needed.
Mrs. B. Levine, who keeps a store
at 396 State street, was building
fire in the stove and the smoke escap-
ed through a small pipe chimney. The
top of this chimney does not reach
higher than the roof of Roth &
Leichtman's building on the south.
An alleyway separates the two build
ings. Because of the direction of the
wind and because the pipe was in
clined slightly toward Roth & Leicht-
mans, the smoke was waited across
the open space. Several people saw
the smoke and Mr.. Roth made an in
vestigation on his own account. The
cry of fire had been taken up, how
ever, and two young men ran to Quig-
bys cafe. opposite, and got the fire
alarm box key and the alarm was sent
in. The firemen made remarkably
good time and one or two of the COM
panies had the apparatus on the
scene before the last tap had sounded.
1t was just at an hour when the
streets were thronged with people
and hundreds crowded the sidewalks
in the neighborhood.

IN FAVOR OF
COMPETITION
Another Petition Being Circulated
for Market Street--POints Out
the Difference.

Another petition in regard to the
Market street pavement is being cir
culated by property owners of that
thoroughfare who would like to see
competition when the bids are receiv-
ed. The new petition has been sign
ed by many and it is thought that il
will be presented to the board of al
dermen at the next meeting.
The first petition for paving Mar
ket street, from City Hall Park to its
western extremity at Herbert street,
with bitulithic or wood block, was
received at the last council meeting,
and it has 80 signers headed by c.
H. Thompson and c. L. Wilbert. This
is over three-fourths of the number
of property owners on the street, and
thus valves the preliminary assess
ment. The cost is not to exceed 81. 20
per square yard. The petition was
referred 10 the committee on streets
and sewers. Some signers wrote
"brick" with their names.
The new petition calls the atten-
ton of the board of aldermen TO the
great difference in price of bitulithic
and wooden blocks and explains that
as the original petition says that the
cost is not to exceed 50. 20 per square
yard, the wooden block people will
not consider so low a figure. The
new petition asks that all firms that
care to bid be given a chance, so that
the residents of the street can get the
best possible pavement for the least
money. The new petition is headed
by John c. Donehue

DISTRICT BILL
is CONDEMNED
IN AN OPINION
Attorney General Says Assembly
District Measure Is UnCOnsti-
tutlOnal--. WAS Expected.
A UNIQUE SITUATION.
Measure Is Being Passed So
That Supreme Courts S Decision
May be Carried Higher.
Special to the EVENING NEWS ::


TRENTON, Mar. 27.-Attorney
General McCarter sent to the assem-
bly, last night an opinion declaring
that the bill providing for the cleo
ton of assemblymen by districts is
unconstitutional. Such an opinion
was expected, however, and will not
interfere with the passage Of the bill
This proposed legislation rests on
Il unique basis, and the very fact of
its unconstitutionality presents the
main argument for its passage by
the legislature. 1t is doubtful if such
a situation ever existed before in the
history OF the state.
The Opinion i'll Full.
The opinion of the attorney gener-
al follows: This bill provides for the
election of assemblymen by assembly
districts, instead Of by the county at
large.
''As is well known :he supreme
court, in an elaborate opinion writ
ten by the late Chief Justice Depue in
the case of the state against Wright
son, Sc n. j. l.. p. 1876, held that a
statute similar to the one under con-
sideration, and providing for the cleo
ton of assemblymen by assembly dis
tricts and not by the voters of a coun-
ty at large, was unconstitutional and
void. | am therefore, compelled to
reach the conclusion that, under the
adjudicated cases in this state, the
bill in question is unconstitutional.
To BE Carried Up.
81 think it fair to say, however,
that the decision of the supreme court
adjudging this legislation to be un-
constitutional was not carried to the
court of errors and appeals for re-
view, and / assume that the present
bill is introduced for the purpose of
having that court pass upon the pro-
posed method of electing assembly
men," The opinion was received and
ordered spread upon the minutes.
The bill itself provides a method
by which its constitutionality may at
once be tested in the courts. Section
four provides that the county clerks
shall, within ten days after the ap-
proval of the act, cause the same to
be printed for distribution. After the
bill is approved a county clerk, likely
Clerk Baker in this county, will re-
fuse to proceed as directed, on the
ground of the alleged unconstitution-
ality. Action will be brought to COM
pei him to act, and that will bring
the law before the courts. The case
will be forced through to the court
of errors and appeals, and the court
of last resort will be asked to pass
upon it. That will finally settle in
New Jersey the question that has
been hanging fire for many years,
whether or not it is legal to elect
Assemblymen by districts.

ANOTHER EFFORT FOR
NEWARK BAY DRAW.
Former Congressman Benny Killed
''' The Project in Congress Two
Years Ago.

BAYONNE, Mar. 27-The Bayonne
Board of Trade has decided to make
another effort to secure a bridge
across Newark Bay, between Bayonne
and Elizabeth. When the bill intro
duced by Congressman Marshall Van
Wrinkle is reported the board will
send a delegation to Washington to
ask its passage.
Former Congressman Allan Benny
of Bayonne, who succeeded two years
ago in having a similar bill pass the
house, but saw it killed in the senate,
said yesterday the reason that his bill
failed was that the Pennsylvania
railroad was against it.
Such bridge would injure the
railroad business between Elizabeth
and Bayonne. The New Jersey Cen
tral railroad is owned by the Balti-
more and Ohio and the latter by the
Pennsylvania. Why, the audacity of
the railroad companies wanting us to
erect a double-deck bridge, the rail-
TO occup the attic.
Half the horses would be in the
bay if that was done. 1t would be
very well for the railroads. The
present railroad bridge was built
about the time of the civil war. 1t is
like cat--has nine lives. Such a
bridge is supposed to be used less
than fifteen years. Personally, | do
not believe the people of Bayonne
want the new bridge very badly. If
some one would place it at their feet,
they would take it, but they would
not exert themselves working for il"
