Special Correspondence Of the Commercial.
DOVER, DEL, Feb. 16.
The sixth week of the session opened YET ter
day with perceptible increase of business.
New bills are being introduced and notices for
others still keep coming. The expected
REIMBURSEMENT BILL
to compel the Levy Courts of the several
counties to pay back to any officer or person the
fines and costs in cases where the parties nave
been convicted in the U. s. Courts of violating
the Enforcement act came into the House yes
terday. 1t applies only to the case OF Archie
Given and is meant to plunder the State
Treasury for his benefit. II we may believe
what we hear, it won't pass, but We will wait and
see
AFTER THE DELINQUENT RAILROADS.
The railroads that are delinquent in their pay
ment of ten cent head and other taxes to the
State are to be looked after, and a'joint res
Houses to summon the late State, Treasurer
who are the defendants What is to be done
then--whether the poor railroad presidents are
to be blown from the muzzle OF cannonIls
not stated in NIr. Trademarks resolution. Mr..
Fiddeman, one of the Delaware railroad direc-
tors, is the father of it.
NO DIVORCES.
Notwithstanding the letting up of the House
OH the subject Of divorce, the Senate seems
determined to stand by its first resolution, and
not indulge in the pastime OF unmarrying people
who first rush into rnatrimony and then rush to
Dover. A bill passed by the House was sum-
mariiy desposed of in the Senate by an indefinite
postponement. Another bill passed the House
yesterday but only to meet the same fate in the
Senate whenever it appears in that body.
GATHERED oRuMps.
Hon. w. G. Whiteley has been invited to de-
liver before the two Houses his excellent ad-
dress on the Delaware soldiers in the Revolution
at some time convenient to himself.
Dover is i'll a ferment of excitement over the
expected excursion of the Temperance
ladies Of Wilmington, to-day. There
will be a large gathering of people
here from the country round about, drawn
by the novelty of the OCCASION The ladies will
be admitted to the floor of the House in the af-
ternoon session, the House adjourning early for
that purpose. y. ii.

THE DARKNESS OF SATURDAY NIaHr.-Whcther
the statement be true or not that the Mayor or
dered the contractor for the lighting of the CITY
lamps to light the same on Saturday night last
during the dense darkness it was duty devolv-
ing upon him to do go undor his contract. We
have before us a schedule of the hours when
the lamps shall be lighted and extinguished for
the present month. and from this schedule on
Saturday night the lamps should have been light
ed throughout the city Mt IL o'clock and extin-
guslled at $50. Instead of this, the city was in
total darkness, under cover of which the incen-
diaries moved about at will and applied the torch
without detection. This is a serious matter,
and we invite an examination by the Lamp Com
mtsoe of Council. II the contractor will not per-
form his duty let the contract be abrogated.

LITTER FROM Mr.. dARRETT TO COL. sceTf-No

LINES.
President John ". Garrett, OF the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad sent yesterday lengthy des-
patch TO Col Scott, Of the Pennsylyania road,
complaining of the atter's action in regard to
freight charges. Hc thon says;
s'rhis day advised that your company has re-
sorted to the use of the present monopoly
through the Camden u Amboy railroad between
Philadelphia and New York to attempt to deprive
the public and the Baltimore and Ohio road OF
the convenient use OF that line by withdrawing
the tickets for the through service by the Baiti-
more and Ohio road from onr oilces IN New
York and New England. That you have also
ordered that freight cars of the baltimore and
OHIO road shall not pass over your tracks III the
city of Philadelphia according TO usage from Ihe
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore load 70
uoiut. of delivery for the merchants and deal
ara of philadcphia and that you pro-
poae to put additional trains of cars between
| Washington and New York for the purpose OF
interfering with the business OF the Baltimore
| and OHIO Company, which passes over its Wash
| ingtou branch and western roads. After the ex-
| perence of the past cau scarcely believe that
| such action can meet the approval OF yourself
the thoughtful executive OF your great company,
and am prepared for the present to attribute IL
| TO reckless subordinates wish, however, 10
say that the Baltimore and Ohio Company is pre-
| pared as in December, 1878, to act promptly,
effectively, and, know. successfully, in main
tanning its rights auG interests.
| Mr.. Garrett adds that
alt is duo to the grave interests involved, to
| state to you that if am correctly informed a.
to the action of your company, and that you ap
prove of the action, that the Baltimore and ohit
| Company will feel at liberty to adopt and VII
adopt such measures i'll reference to passenger
rates and otherwise as will vinlieate its abilit,
| TO MAINTAIN it's rights. 80.
This sounds decidedly warlike, and Balti
more dispatch, last night, says it Is understood
there that on md fafter to, day. CIueaday,) ny
ears OF tho Baltimore and Ohio Road will be al
lowed to pass over the Pennsylvana Road t.

Dover, Feb. Is.
This evening, Professor Purnell President of
Delaware College, and Prof. Newell, principal
of the Maryland State Normal School, and Su-
perintendent of General Instruction in that
state, having been invited by the Committee on
Education to give their views relating to public
education addressed the members OF the Legis-
lature, in the Hall of the House. The members
were nearly all present besides many citlzens OF
Dover John W. Phillips presided, and first ill.,
troduced President Purnell WHO in an able man
her spoke of the great need and benefits of q
general system of education.
Professor Newell, being introduced. dweIt at
considerable length on the general plan and eff
iiciences of the Maryland school system. He re-
viewed the school law of Maryland in operation
as early as 1894 and which without much impor-
tant change renamed i'll operation up TO 1860, a
period of Ill years. The system, though good
in it's day, outlived it's usefulness, and under
went an important change in 1865, when the
present law was put in force There is now be-
ing educated one out of every six OF the popula-
ton. From $465,O00 spent for education In
1856 there was last year spent SSS3,0O
This fund was raised by county tax and state
tax, the latter being ten cents on the 500. This
was the utmost limit of State tax, but the coun-
ties through their Sch9ol Board, could levy any
amount of tax, some running as high as 10
cents on the 800. Baltimore, by these means,
raised 900, 600 more than needed for her own
schools, and distributed the overplus amongst
the poorer agricultural counties, and the
members Of tie last House of Delegates from
that city were willing to double the
tax, il need be, for that purpose. Theschools III
90 OF the counties were kept open 10 months in
tic year, aud in the remaining IL counties they
were kept open from ~ to months.
The Professor then gave an interesting account
of the working of the Normal school for the
training of teachers, and at the close of his ad-
dress q vote OF thanks was, on motion OF Senator
Ray, returned to both the speakers for their able
address es.

Early to-day a fire broke out in the first floor
of the four-story brick tenement, No. CIT East
Ninth street, occupied by John Eckler as a shoe

the bydrants the flames were unchecked till they
reached the upper floor of the house.
The police, on arriving on the ground, were
very active in arousing the inmates OF the house
and conveying them to places OF safety. Mre.
Wells and her daughter Ella. aged four years,
who lived on the top floor, got scared and para
lyzed by fear and were unable to do anything to
save themselves, and, in spite OF the exertions
of Mr.. Wells the police and fremen, they were
