Mr.  Corbin — These  bills  show,  if  the  Committee
please,  that,  during  the  session  of  1893,  the  committee
met  here  on  Monday  and  Tuesday,  practically  every
Monday  and  Tuesday  during  the  session,  and  these  bills
contain  substantially  nothing  else.
Witness — Did  it  have  me  down  here  every  Monday
night  ?

Chairman  Voorhees — Not  every  Monday  night,  but
pretty  nearly.  January  16th  the  Legislature  met;  you
were  here;  and  the  22d,  the  next  Monday,  you  were
here,  and  the  25th  and  26th  you  went  to  Bayonne ;  the
30th  you  were  here  (that  is  the  next  Monday);  February
Ist,  2d  and  3d  you  went  to  Paterson ;  February  6th  you
were  here  (that  was  a  meeting  of  the  Legislature) ;  the
13th  you  were  here;  15th  you  went  to  Paterson.  Then
there  was  a  week  skipped.     Then  the  27th  you  were

here  again  ;  March  6th  you  were  here  again ;  March
8th  aud  lltb,  Jersey  City.  With  two  exceptions,  you
were  here  every  Monday  night.
Senator  Skirm — The  Legislature  of  1893  closed  on
March  11th.
Mr.  Corbin — Then  that  only  omits  one.
The  Witness — I  want  to  tell  Mr.  Voorhees  about  it.
I  didn't  come  down  here  to  attend  the  session ;  I  come
down  here  at  the  call  of  the  chair  to  attend  meetings  of
the  Board.
Examined  by  Mr.  Corbin.
Q.  But  as  a  matter  of  fact  there  was  no  strilse  going  on,  for
you  don't  appear  to  have  attended  to  any  strike  ?  J..  I  guess
you  will  find  if  you  look  at  the  clippings  that  there  was  some-
thing to  do.
Examined  by  Chairman  Voorhees.
