MURDERER ARREsrED.-Boston, March
Lewis Wagner, suspected of the
double murder at the Isle ofShoas, was
arrested in Fleet street, Boston, last
night, and committed to await the requi-
sition ofthe authorities of Maine, within
whose jurisdiction the murders wore COM
mitted. Wagner is about thirty years Of
age, and weighs one hundred and seventy
pounds. On his person was found
small amount of money, but watch was
soon found where he had disposed of it,
and his old clothes, spotted with blood
were discovered in shop where he had
procured new out fit. The murder,
which was most brutal in its details, was
discovered at an early hour Thursday
morning by members Of the Harriet fami-
y, at whose residence the murder was
committed. Wagner was a farm en-
ployee of the Harriet family, and he
killed the two women with an AK for the
money and yaluables he expected to find
in the house. The details show shocking
brutality

OUR DOVER LETTER.


Both branches of the Legislature met yestet-
day at 3 O'Clock, with members all present in
both Houses. The regular proceedings will
show much larger amount of business done
than has yet been done in any one afternoons
session since converting. From the amount Of
bills and petitions in the hands Of members, ilIi-
less il is now decided Ia take no more new bust
ness, an adjournment ducs not seem probable
sooner than the middle Of April. There ar:
something over onc hundred papers that have
not yet had u rradng and that many lave re-
Gently been brought up Tor action. Senator
Lesley, it seems, finds that stuhborny yielding
nothing to the popular demand is not he wisest
action M the world, ami now yields half
measure. lie suggests, in a bill offered, 10 ex-
empt one-lalf Of worliin. mans wages from
attachment. Bravo. but, alas. the DIR. g
chances for ever going To Dover again 10 Lcgis-
late for the people are ilrapait and few between.
New Castle wants, and must have more liberal
men TO represent her wants. She will have
them, too, in the next Assembly.
A Wilmington bill, incorporating the Holly
Tree Inn Association, passed the Senate yester-
day, having previously been passed by the
House. In this branch another divorce bill has
been killed, most probably to be reconsdered
and recalled at some future time. The parties
in question are Casssimer Arbiser and his wife,
Mention of this case was made in last weeks
letter, and we think the plea one of the most
iustfable vet before the Legislature, and why
SINGLE this case out to be killed is a query. But
as we have before said, it will most likely be re-
considered.
In the House, petitions signed by some six
teen hundred people, were presented, asking
the removal Of the CouIt House from New
Castle to Wilmington, and petitions of iemon-
STRANGE, signed by about 200 persons, were read.
Other petitions were read, asking notifications
of the usury law and regulation of the liquor
business. The Legislature is to be asked to
pass a I'LL allowing your City Council To issue
bonds to the amount Of twenty-five thousand
dollars ior tho purpose OF building city hospi-
la The Maryland y Delaware ship Canal
bill lies quiet for the present, b'l it will come
up soon. hENT.
