WIRES Cur. At about s O'Clock on
Monday evening, communication suddenly
ceaEed over the wires along the P. W. &
8. r. R., belonging 10 the Western Union
Telegraph Company. Men were sent out
on an extra engine at 10 O'Clock p. M,
and fouhd two wires cut at Charleston,
Md. From the condition Of the wires II
is evident that they had been cut by
Ratchet. II 10 difficult TO imagine what
could have been the object Of the dastardly
act, but IL IL was done by any fleeing ras-
cal trying to elude expected pursuit, II
could not have aVslled him anything
since the company still had communication
with Washington over the turnpike wires,
over the P. & B. G. K. X. wires, and cir
cults could have been arranged around by
Harrisburg, or even via New Orleans
IL every direct line between Washington
and New York were cut. II lie also posi-
BILE that some human devil cut the wires
with view TO disarrapging the running
of trains and thereby causing an accident,
the tracks being crowded that night with
trains carrying people to Inauguration.

PAYING TRUSTEES OF DELAWARE COLLEGE
THE "ISJUN MEALn BiLL--A NEW
HOTEL PROJECT.

THE "INJUN MEAL" BILL-A NEW
HOTEL PROJECT.
DOVER, March 5.-Both branches Of the
Legislature again assembled this morning,
but three or four of those composing them
being absent. All looked somewhat sleepy
and the absence Of the usual oratorical
efforts In the House was traceable, no
doubt, TO the innocent dissipation of yes
terday.
The bill amending the charter Of the
Delaware College and allowing the Trus-
tees of that institution so much per diem
for attending the meetings OF its Board, Is
not understood, evidently. The idea
which is prevalent that, should the
bill pass, the Trustees Will be paid out
of the treasury of the college, is false.
The bill provides that the State shall meet
these expenses. At the present time but
| few of the Trustees will attend meetings at
Newark, for besides the loss Of time, they
are compelled to pay car fare and hotel
bills. Il is extremely difficult on this ac
count TO get sufficient number of Trus-
tees together to transact business,
hence the interests of the college
suffer. Something should be done
to remedy this, and II nothing but
the expenditure by the State Of a
small amount of money will do 1t the bill
which has passed the House and now
is pending 10 the Senate should be passed.
The bill regulating the sale by weight
OF Indian meal, mill feed, etc, introduced
recently IN the House by Mr.. Silver, did
not originate with that gentlemen, but was
prepared, aud is supported by the most in
iuential citizens of Brandywine and Chris
tiana Hundreds. It has now gone TO the
Senate, having passed the House, but what
It's fate will be will not venture to pre-
dict.
Mr.. Silver will soon introduce bill 10.
cooperating the Washington Hotel Com
pany of Wilmington. lie proposes to tear
out and remodel the Washington Hotel
recently purchased by him, at second and
Market, and provide II with every modern
improvement. This is to be done to accom-
modate mechanics, and furnish that class
with excellent food, good rooms and q
pleasant home in fact, II is to be first
class hotel with secoad-class prices. Thi:
is something Wilmington has long needed
and Mr. Silver will not only popularize bu
( immortalize himself if he does what Ii
proposes, and have no doub
he will. He is unable at present t
give the dimensions of the hotel when be
makes these improvements, but II will b.
much larger than at present. Mr.. s. is Al
/, yet unable to determine upon the time fol
commencing his laudable enterprise.
Lewis Thompson's bill for the protection
of women is in the Senate and will soOl
be called up for final consideration. II
its present shape, of course, 1t will no
pass that body, but may become a laV
after being modified and Its worth CORES
= pondingly impaired. W. S. 7.

THE TOWN ELEofIoN-oFF FOR

DOVER, March S.-Dover's town election
took place to-day, and furniehed interest
sufficient to those of the "manor BORN"
