RACE TRACKS AGAIN The Anti-Gambling League Preparing to Descend Upon the Legislature. ALL WANT TO GO TO ST. LOUIS Lay Judges Think They Have Dis covered Flaws in the New Bill to Get Kid of Them. Special to the Jersey City News. TRENTON. Feb. 10. 1896.—The exciting race track scenes of three years ago arc likely to be enacted in a measure in the Legislature again this week. The Anti Gambiing League has become exceeding ly restless over it he repeated talk of more race track legislation this session and when lit was reported last week -that there was opposition to Mr. Voorbees* resolution providing for the adoption of the anti-gambling amendment to The Constitution and that there was danger that it would nof pass they could tetand it no longer, and as abated in “The jersey City News” last week, Mr. Kempshall in an open latter demanded a hearing on the resolution. If this is granted another large delegation of church people will visit Trenton and argue all over again •the race Track question. There is no doubt that the Republicans have been coquettting with The race track people in a manner which justifies the Anti-Gambling League that there is danger ahead. It began witfh Candidate vaiisgs ceieu raiea speecn in n'ocuKeii, when he declared himself an up-to-date candidate and said that he was not op posed to honest racing, but was down on the winter tracks, where poor, worn out beasts are cruelly run through slush and mud. From that time on there was a decided Griggs movement among race track men, bookmakers!. touts, stable boys and everyone drredtly or indirectly ‘connected with a race track. Up in Gut tenburg saloon men and doorkeepers got an “inside tip” that the tracks would be j open again when Griggs was elected and j they began to shout accordingly. In the early part of the campaign j everyone conceded that Monmduth would give McGffil an old-time majority. But soon it began to be whispered about the county that as soon as Griggs was elect ed and the Republicans were lirm'Iy en trenched in power Monmouth Park ; would be opened again. This was a great boon to the farmer who never saw bet ter times than when the park was in full blast, and a decided reaction in favor of , Griggs set in which resulted in giving j him the county by some 300 odd votes. , The same rumors spread in Camden and • Gloucester City which used to be relied upon tc pull dow-n the Republican major ity, did not figure at all in the result. When on top of this wall-known race track men came to Trenfton with the Le gislature and have been in assiduous at tendance ever since, and the unmistak able opposition to the passing of the an ti-gambling resolution has developed. Dr. Kempehall and his co-laborers deem it time for them to get into the fight. The Republican State Convention to select delegates to the Republican Na tional Convention and to elect members of the State Central Committee will in all likelihood take place on Wednesday, April 18, in Taylor Opera House. The - arrangements have been practically com pleted by Franklin Murphy and Garret A. Hobart, a sub-committee of the gen eral committee, who were authorized to lix a date according to the time that they cou'ld secure the hall, but the whole matter'is subject to the ratification of the general ocmaniiittee, which will meet early this week and issue a call. This will bring the contest on at once, and it can be expected that the situa tion will be very generally canvassed by the time that the Legislature will have adjourned, and before April 1. There is some contention among prominent leaders of the party for the position of delegate at-large. United States Senator William J. Sewell wdll be one of the four, and Garret A. Hobart will be another, but the other tw'-o are in doirbrt. John Kean wants to be the third, but is nervous about going before another convention so soon after his defeat last summer. He fears that the followers of Senator Voorhees and the faction in his own county, led by Mayor 'Rankin of Eliza beth, which, although it is not strong enough to make any one candidate, has proven itself to be strong enough to (break Mr. Kean, will oppose him. The Voorhees men, however, say that the 5'oung millionaire’s fears are groundless. They will not oppose him, but, on the contrary, they are inclined to support •him. as his selection would be an honor to the county and no one else from Union appears to want the place. The leaders outside of Union all favor Mr. Kean, and it is urged that his nomi nation would do much toward healing the dis sensions which have existed for some time among the Republicans of Union. Should there be enough cp post Cion against Mr. Kean to threaten his elec tion seriously Sitcute Comptroller William S. Hancock of Trenton will enter the race. He wHl not have everything his Oounity Clerk of Mercer, and a big chief 8n the councils of the Trenton Republi can Indians, will measure swords with ihitn. Franklin Murphy of Newark. Chairman of the State Committee, wants the fourth place, and so does Blias Ward, president of the South Orange Traction Company. The sentiment of New Jersey Republi cans is largely in favor of Thomas B. Reed for President. Several partial polls have been taken of the Legislature, and although every one almost has expressed a wiish that Mr. Hobart might secure iflhe nomination, be has followed it with a strong declaration in favor of the man from Maine. Should the nomination go to a Western man the Jenseymen will make a struggle to secure the seoond place on the ticket for Mr. Hobart. The Voorhees Judiciary hill, which wipes out forty-five lay Judges in the twenty-one counties of the State, Is ■threatened With complications before the ■law shall become effective. The bill pro vides that the Court of Common Pleas, after April 1 of this year shall consist of only one Judge, and he shall be a counsellor-at-taw. and the lay Judges are supposed to cease to exist after that period, but the lay Judges of New Jer II Chapping is causec keep the skin supple, only a mild pure soap lik The Procter & Gamble Co.. Cin'ti. sey have an association, and they do not propose to give up t'he ghost. Last year this association, through lay Judge Sohaik of Essex, attacked the elective judiciary law, fought It In the court and were successful. They now think they see unconstitu tional provisions in the n$w Voorhees bill, which is framed on the lines sug gested by Supreme Court Justice Van Syckle's opinion delivered on the con stitutionality of last year's law. This new bill, instead of having the only Judge of the county elected, makes him an appointment of the G-overnor. The lay Judges think the new bill is unconstitu tional, because it terminates the term of all the lay Judges on March 31, and that, they argue, is a direct violation of the Conatitutiion, because it legislates many of them out of office before the expiration of their terms, for only lay Judges Richard J. Byrnes of Atlantic and Hiram D. White of Warren go out this year, but Che terms of sixteen ex pire next year. The Lay Judge Association will not only fight the passage of the bill, but should it be made a caucus measure, it will be fought in the courts. Senator Foster M. Voorhees of Union county is the introducer of the bill, and he said:—"I understand that the lay Judges will fight the new judiciary bill, claiming it is unconstitutional. The ques tion that they raise is open to consider able doubt, and it would take the court ■to pass on it. but It will be useless for the Judges to make this contest, for several of the Senators have suggested Co me, that in case of any doubt of the present bill being effective, that another bill Shall be enacted which will fix the compensation of lay Judges at SI a year" and then we will see how many will care to serve. I think it will be found ■that when the per diem and the fees are abolished and the office made purely an honorary one, that the lay Judges will be glad to relinquish their office. “There is an expressed sentiment that lio x 7 Ti’i^ircc .fir'd ivcbitwc orMnnnf c tn tiVia judiciary, and their services • could be dispensed with and a way will certainly be devised to get rid of them.” The delegates from the Congressional districts spoken of are:— First—Frank F. Patterson, Camden; Congressman Lotldenslager. Gloucester, and Senator Stokes, Cumberland. Second—Ferdinand W. Roebling, Mer cer; A. M. Bradshaw, Ocean; General Grubb, Burlington; Congressman Gard ner, Atlantic. Third—President of the Senate Thomp son, Somerset; Senator Herbert, Middle sex; ex-Senator Nevius, Monmouth. Fourth-Congressman Pitney, Morris; Captain Shields, Jiunterdon. Fifth — General Congdon, Passaic; Clarence E. Breckenridge, Bergen. Sixth—Elisha B. Gaddis, John C. Eisele, Carl Lentz, Elias S. Ward, Con gressman Parker, Essex. Seventh—Sheriff John J. 'foffey, Colonel Samuel Dickinson, Gilbert ’ Collins, Rod erick B. Seymour, Hudson. Eighth—Senator Voorhees, Frank Ber gen, Roswell G. Horr, Congressman Fowler, Mayor !tank/n. Union. The contest for keeper of the State Prison continues to excite much atten tion. Every day it is becoming more interesting. The frierfds of John Hart Brewer feel more confident' than ever that he will be appointed. He has the support of many of the leading Repub licans of the State and some of the Gov ernor’s closest friends have come out in his favor. Still, ex-Sheriff Charles H. Skirm continues Wis candidacy, and hav ing the support of Senator Skirm he feels that it is a prestige that must not ’ be underestimated. Ex-Senator Roe, of Gloucester, who is pursuing a quiet can vass for the place, seems not to be with out hope of success. Ex-Assemblyman Jonathan Goble, of Ocean, is a very ac tive candidate. He is rallying his friends to his support and expects to make a deep impression upon the Governor. Mir. Goble is now serving as a deputy keeper in the State Prison. It looks as if the candidacy of ex-Senator Wffllsts. of Cum berland, had gone into obscurity. The numerous friends of ex-Assembly man “Jimmy" Mulherron in this part of the State feel sanguine of the success of his candidacy for Factory Inspector. Henry Gruber, of Hudson, has by no means given up the light, and is still making a very lively canvass. The bill which was offered last week to virtually legislate out of office Dairy Inspector George W. McGuire has a poor prospect of becoming a law', as is gen erally understood. Mr. McGuire himself says he has no apprehension as to the future with regard to his office. He states that he has conducted the office to the best of his ability and believes he has given satisfaction in the per formance of his duties. He says while he is a Democrat he is not a politician and never has been. Polities has noth ing whatever’to do with his office. Gen eral Newton, who was his predecessor, and is a Republican, when he resigned recommended his appointment to the State Board of Hearth six years ago, and ever since he has retained the same staff, which consists of four Republi cans and three Democrats. The Rev. George H. Maddock, chaplain of ’the State Prison, was somewhat flur ried during the week when he read a re port in the newspapers that an effort was being made to have him removed from office. He says his position as chap lain has no specified term, and as he had performed his duties very satisfactorily so far, he has no fear that Governor Griggs will give him his walking papers. He is at a loss to know the names of the dominies who want his place. The truth is, there is some > opposition to Mr. Maddock, hut it is not believed to be strong enough to deprive him of the chaplaincy. vu.iiu.uicc uu Aciijj uaus anu v.uuais nas mappc" out .. cnaiderable work for themselves for this afternoon and even tog. They will give a hearing on six of the principal railroad bills that axe now pending. These bills are Assembly Bill No. 4, by Assemblyman Smart, which re quires all electric cars to' have Inclosed or vestibuled platforms, and any violation of this law is to be punished by the Im position of a puiality of $25 per day No. 10 is Assemblyman Fleming’s elevated railroad track measure, with which the public Is well acquainted, and Which has already been fought In previous Legislatures to the entire satisfaction of the railroad companies. No. 17 is Assemblyman' Bullock's 3 eent fare, which is also ah bid measure that has been considered In committee be fore. It fixes street car fares between 3 and 7 A. M. and 5 and.6:30 P. M. at the rate of eight tickets for 25 cents. During all other hours the fare is hot to be more than 5 cents. The remaining three bills 43. 44 and 45, emanate from Assemblyman Bauer of Hudson county. One requires all all surface railroads to erect and main tain waiting rooms and transfer stations; another is waged against exchange tick ets, and makes the fare over all lines of a system 5 cents: and the other requires all railway cars to be properly heated and ventilated. The character of these hills is such as to indicate that the hearings will be unusually interesting. ■ MULLERY’S MIDNIGHT VISITOR Michael Mullery own® a small grocery store at No. 1 Orchard street. He lives above the store. Abouit three o’clock yesterday morning Mullery was awaken od by hearing a noise iq the store be low. Arming himself with a revolver he started downstairs to investigate.

Brewster Williams was tried in the General Sessions Court this morning for grand larceny. On September 28, Will ! lams and a man named Coby went around Bajronne buying up scrap iron. They agreed to pay for it when it was 'deliv ered on board a canal boat they had ly ing at the dock. When they got the boat loaded they cut her loose and towed her away to Brooklyn, omitting the trifling circumstance of paying anyone. The iron has not been paid for yet.' Coby has pleaded non, vult. One of the vic tirris was the Consumers’ Coal and Ice Company. Thomas Brady, the manager of the company, testified that Coby and Williams called on him on September 27 and arranged to buy the iron. Will iams represented himself as one of the proprietors of the Brooklyn Iron and Slteel Works and presented h-is card. - Goby’s card represented him as doing business at No. 69 York street, this city.'* Williams gave Patrick Patton, a Bayonne man, as -reference of his responsibility ' and business standing. Patton told Mr. Brady that he didn't know Williams, , and had no idea of what his responsibil ity might be. The witness sold ten tons of iron afi^ $10 a ton. Williams' w-ife, ae- ] -•companied by a lawyer, called on Brady . after Williams was in jail and offered to 1 settle. Patrick Paton, a brawny Bayonne blacksmith, was the next witness. “Do you know Williams?” asked the , Assistant Prosecutor. “I ought to know him. He made me know h-im.” Ex-Judge Hoffman objected and the - answer was stricken out. Cornelius Desmond and James Meehan, two of the victims, testified to the skill ful manner in which they had been done up; James Dougherty, of No. 71 Morris street, testified that he got Williams’ check for the iron he sold, and he added, “I’ve got it yet.” John W. Coby, the junior member of the firm, testified that he lives at No. 113 Lexington avenue, this city. He was formerly in the livery stable busi ness, but Williams persuaded him to go into the business of buying old iron. He . was to get .nothing at first, but after he | learned the business he was to be paid a commission of fifty cents a ton. Will lama gut cclius prinieu ror mm Decause he said that it would look more busines-s like. His story of 'the purchase of the •iron corroborated the statements of the victims. When the boat was loaded Williams and Coby boarded the boat and it, was pulled out by a tug. On the way down the Kill von Kull Williams glee fully remarked to Coby, “Well, we beat those hayseeds, anyway.” The witness was to be paid $50 for his share of the swag. The boat and iron were taken to Blake’s yard, at Thirteenth street, New , York. Williams told the witness that he had sold the iron to Blake. The witness : had a talk with Williams in the County ■ Jail. Williams wanted Coby to stick to the story he (Williams) proposed to tell. Williams said he would fight the com- ‘ plainahts. with their own money, and if 1 mat wasn’t enough he would spend $1,000 of his own money. He also said he would probably apply for a change of venue, as he was afraid the Court and jury would be prejudiced against him. Ex-Judge Hoffman askqd the Court to , direct the jury to acquit the defendant, as the State had failed to make out a case of grand larceny. The transaction was simply a bargain and sale. Mr. i Hoffman claimed that it was a perfectly honest business transaction, except that Williams didn’t pay for the iron. The motion was denied. The case had not ! been finished at recess. ACCUSES WATCHMAN DONOHUE- - Mrs. Kate Kelly, who says she is the . w.ife of a peddler, makes a serious charge against Night Watchman Donohue, who is employed by the Central Railroad, at : Communipaw. About one o’clock this morning Donohue says he was startled ; by hearing a woman’s screams in the - lots north of the main tracks of the railroad. Making an investigation he 1 found the woman talking to John Don- : ohye, another watchman. The woman i said she had been assaulted by a man 1 and robbed of a gold ring. She became so abusive that Donohue arrested iicr i for disorderly conduct. When removed , to the Gregory Street station she re peated 'her story of the assault, as told to Donohue, with the additional asser tion that her assailant was with Dono hue, and that Donohue helped him over power her. The woman’s story is not believed. Justice .Potts adjourned the case until tomorrow morning. i OUT A SWATH AT~TAYLOR’S HOTEL ‘ The trial of John J. Fink for obtaining board and money at Taylor’s Hotel, un°- ' der false pretenses, was fixed for trial ] in the General Sessions Court this morn- ! ing, but a doctor’s certificate was pre sented to the Court showing that the defendant is sick. The Assistant Pros- ! eeutor said tha.t the State has a'witness from Washington who is here at consid erable expense, but as a check for J20 , had been given to compensate the wit ness he was willing that the case should ’ go. over.

He OIL COMPANIES FIGHT Injunction Proceedings Before Viee-Chaneellor Emery Today. ^ One phase of the flgl\lt between the Standard OiU Company and the United States Pipe Line Company came up be fore Vice-Chancel for Emery this after loon in Injunction proceedings begun 3y the Delaware, Lackawanna and West Jrn Railroad Company against Henry W. Breekenridge. The pipe line company in October ‘ast began laying pipes und,er the Dela ware, Lack. & Western Co.'s tracks it a point in Warren County in the bor )ugh of Washington. When the railroad company's men started to tear up the two pipes to transport oil from Pennsyl vania to Hampden Junction in New Jer sey, Breekenridge, superintendent of the Pipe Line Company, with a man named Uouls Emery, Jr., and a gang of men 'esisted them. They, the pipe line crowd, tad a car over the pipes, laden with ron and they had firmly entrenched hemselves in a hut and an inclosure. 4-rmed each with a pick handle with one ;nd wrapped in waste soaked with oil md alight the battle began and two of the invaders were seriously iftjured: Bneckenridge’s attackers withdrew 'and le at once procured a temporary re strainitng order against the D.. L. & W. -o. That order was afterward discharged >y Vrce-On’anceilor Bird, who held that he pipe line people were trespassers. When the railroad company by virtue >f 'the discharge of the Injunction tgamst them started hi to tear out the npes another riot ensued and to prevent noodShed the men left the ground and he company secured an order to Show lause why the pipe line people should lot be restrained from interfering with he D., L. & W. R. R. Company in re lieving a nuisance. That order was re urnea today and this afternoon Judge r. Frank Fort of Nawark opened the lase for the D., L. & W. R. R. Com >any. He claimed that the railroad company iwnpjl f h P land' /in wlll/kVl tha mlnnr. aki, and this land they had bought from -ornehus and Elizabeth Stewart. The >pinion of Vice-Chancellor Bird in the ormer case, he said, showed that the >ipe line people were trespassers. He contended that the laying of oil pipes un Ler the complainant’s tracks was a nuis mee, and if allowed to continue would re iolve into an easement. Counsellor Henry H. Harris, for the U. 5. Pipe Line Company, and Henry W dreekenridge, answered bv saying that lis clients own the ground on which they vere operating. They had title in it >y purchase from ths Stewarts, and the •ailroad company had no right to inter ’ere with the work of laying pipes. Counsel said that .the pipe line com >any owned the land on both sides of the ailroad, and it was only a question vhether or not they go under the tracks In court during the argument, was Senator Emery, of Pennsylvania, who •ondueted the fight for Patteson against Delamater in Pennsylvania.

Her Endeavor to Help a Girl Causes Grave Suspicions Chinaman’s Happy Wife. A well dressed young woip'iun describ ing herself as Grace Rlner, twenty-one years old, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., was found in the Pennsylvania Railroad pas senger station yesterday by Detective McNally. She told Chief of Police Mur phy 4 peculiar story. A few days ago she received a letter from a woman living In New York ad vising her to come to that city at once. Work was promised her. A ticket to New York was enclosed In the letter and She decided to come on. Her directions were to go to No. 16 Pell street, which is the heart of the Chinese settlement. Yesterday she went to Pel’l street to look up her friend. As she was enter ing the house she was intercepted by a policeman, who was attracted by her rosy cheeks and natty dress. He learned her mission and a'dwised her to return to her home. She said she had no money and the policeman, who believed It was a case ot a girl being lured to her ruin, gave her suttiolent money to get to this city and get something to eat. Her woman friend gave the name of Mrs. i Soo Sin. She was telegraphed for and to the surprise of the Ohiet she put in an appearance within an hour. She knew Grace and had befriended her on ■many occasions. She was an Irish woman and told the Chief she had sent for the girl to better her condition. Grace, she declared, had workef in many Chinese laundries In Wilkesbarre and had been married twice. One bus ■band was killed in the mines and the other met death on the railroad. She further declared She was, herself, living happily with her Chinese husband, who, idhe said, was better to her than the majority of American men are to their wives. When asked her real object in sending for the girl, she said it was purely charitable. She told the Chief that if he thought she wanted her for immoral purposes, &he would send her back home. The Chief thought this plan advisable. Mrs. Soo Sin went out at once, pawned a ring for $4 and gave it to the Chief to buy a ticket for Grace to Wilkesb’arre. The girl was not anxious to be sent back. __ MSS- HOFFMAN BUSIED. Funeral Services in Hoboken At tended by a Large Crowd. Tne runerai services oi me iace ivirs.

THE PRESIDENTIAL" OFFICE, General Harrison Asserts that no In cumbent has Satisfied All the People Ex-President Harrison writes on “The Presidential Office” in his “This Country of Ours” series in February Ladies’ Home Journal. In discussing the constitutional' provisions for the selection of a Chief Magistrate, he touches upon the discus sion in the convention relative to a plu ral Executive of the nation, and upon the point presents his own views:—“Expe rience has so fully justified the conclu sion reached by the Constitutional Con vention in this matter (a single Execu tive head) that no change has ever been suggested. The incumbent has never sat isticu everyone, but the discontented have never sought relief by giving him a dou ble. Executive direction should always be single. When anything is wrongly done we must be able to put a hand on the man who did It. The sense of respon sibility begets carefulness, and that sense is never so perfect as when, after full consultation, the officer must go alone into the chamber of decision. In all of the recent reform city charters this principle is made prominent—by giving the Mayor the power to appoint the city boards and officers, and so making him responsible for the efficiency of the city government. Two Presidents or’ three with equal powers would as surely bring disaster, as three generals of equal rar.k over a single army. I do net doubt that this sense cf single and personal respon sibility to the people has strongly held our Presidents to a good conscience'and to a high discharge of their great duties. Breakfast in tlio Old Days. In old days a hungry man could get m»re things to oat at a New England breakfast table than are today served at many a banquet. Hungry men have declined in numbers and influence, and European, travel has had a depleting effect upon that fine old institution breakfast. No one but the “Autocrat” ever talked much at that meal, for the viands were too tempting—great beef steaks. hot rolls, buckwheat cakes, omelettes, potatoes, coffee, and even, at Mr. Emerson’s, pie. Then returned tra velers began to bring back tales of the refined Continental breakfast of coffee and a roll. It was even narrated that an Italian gentleman thought that he had eaten a very hearty breakfast when he put’cream in his coffee. So pie was .first banished, and the other heavy articles gradually followed it into exile, and breakfast is shorn of its glo ries. Those who aim at a restoration of the vigor of the Puritans should b“gin by restoring “pie” to its former high es tate, .and the "Continental breakfast” should be banished from a hemisphere where the Monroe Doctrine and tine pie should reign supreme.—Harper’s Weekly. Some Aspects of Civilization. It is not so much a lack of native taient and individual capacity which is observ able in Congress ’today, as it is a lack of the trained intelligence requisite for deal ing with complex public interests, and still more of the moral character which is superior to motives of mean personal ambition and partisan advantage A Sen ate in which a large proportion of the members owe their places to wealth used directly or indirectly to obtain them, with out exposing themselves to general re probation or the scorn of the’r fellows is not likely to be the seat of much uori'r>‘ or enl.ghteced legislation. The delegations in the House of 'Kepresentat'ves from New York and New England—that is, from the part of the country supposed to he civilized—do n~- raise high expectations concern rg th from States which pos sess fewer advantage® of culture and fewer traditions of statesmanship.—February “Forum.” !
