Vital Statistics for Month of January
in New Jersey.

TRENTON, Feb. 6:-The number
of deaths reported to the Bureau of
Vital Statistics during the month of
January was 3,2S9, an increase OF
1,019 over the number reported dur
ing the previous month. BY ages
there were 4S6 deaths among infants
under one year, 202 deaths of chill
dren over one year and under five
years, and 770 deaths of persons aged
60 years and over. Compared with
the preceding month the reports show
an increase of SO deaths from pull
monary tuberculosis. Pneumonia
shows an increase of los and other
diseases of the respiratory system
show an increase of GA. These figures
are not unusual for this period of the
year, and indicate seasonable condi-
tions on the affections included in
this group.
The number of deaths from ty-
phoid fever (45) shows slight dimi-
mutton compared with the two previ-
GUS months December, At, and No
vember, 53). The mortality from
scarlet fever (11) is but slightly
greater than the average (9.33) for
the six preceding months. Diphtheria

Fire Connection Would BE an Inns
provement at Police Headquarters.
A fire alarm connection in the
police station is now much talked
of improvement, and it is possible
that the matter will be called to the
attention Of Chief Baker in the near
future.
During the past year the police
have rung in many alarms and hard
ly month passes that fire does not
occur at which the police are among
the first on the scene. The police
are often notified by telephone that
a fire has been discovered, with re-
quest to send in an alarm. When
the police receive such a messaga
they in turn must telephone to a
hotel or other place near a box, and
have the alarm run In that way.
Yesterday morning a fire was dis
covered at 103 Market street. The
police were notified and Chief Burke
tried in vain to have an alarm sent
in. He telephoned to s. Epitzer's
saloon, at Smith and State streets.
but was unable to secure a connec-
ton. In the meantime the house
might have burned down.

he saw some fifteen negro soldiers
within the garrison walls fire from the

and passed over his head. There was
no sentinel on duty at the time. The

During the recess Haines, of Mid
dlesex, arrived and the hopes of the
Briggs men revived. General Murray
and Treasurer Briggs saw the COVER
nor at luncheon and there was an
earnest ten-minute talk in which 1t is
said that the governor agreed to turn
in for the treasurer. That developed
later. when the caucus got together
again, for it was shown that the men
who had stood for the governors
election. despite his declarations and
the constitutional bar, were the hrst
to break to Briggs, and that was
really what accomplished the result.
Otherwise his advocates and those OF

to hold out, could have kept the dead
lock. indefinitely.

When the forty men got at 1t in
dead earnest again the friends OF
Senator Bradley felt that with little
help from South Jersey they could
win. 1t is said that their early count
was twenty-five for the Camden man,
and that others would be ready to
come to him at the proper time to
make his calling sure. In this, how
ever, they were outgeneraled. Briggs
got there first On the first test bal
lot he had the twenty-five. President
Minch quickly changed from Stokes
to Briggs, the majority of twenty
three was gained, and before you
could say Jack Robinson the treasur-
er had the nomination in his grip and
the thing was over. On the first test
ballot, however, Governor Stokes had
seven votes; Mr. Briggs, twenty-five;
Justice Pitney, four Senator Brad
ley, five, and former Governor
Griggs, two. The men who voted for
Stokes were: Drake, Minch, Lila
gore, Manson, Potter, Ridgeway and
Taylor. The four for Pitney were
Bradley, Chaplin, Buxton and Hill
lery; the five for Bradley were Jess.

Haines, of Middlesex, was detained by
the snow storm at South, Amboy, al
though word was received that he
had started for Trenton to be on hand
at the first assembly of the caucus.
Hard Work for Lineup.
There was much scurrying of feet
and many misunderstanding Briggs
men sent hither and thither for men
who could bring influence to bear
upon those who threatened to leave
the gathering. They had hard work
to keep Drake, of Middlesex, in line.
They counted AckerIhan absolutely
hopeless and Fake beyond all power

the caucus early in the morning but
Assemblyman Crowther, of Middle

full tongue-lashing denouncing him
for his stand and declaring him to be
dishonest and selfish, that Colby left
in complete disgust
With all their efforts the Briggs
men could not count the necessary
twenty-five votes to give them the
control of the caucus, and, after they
had been at it for two hours, they
submitted to a recess until 1880
