MR.. MASSEY GETTING IN HIS WORK.
Special to the Gazette.
DOVER, DEL, Feb. 17.-To-day
has Been pregnant with matters of
legislative interest, chief and almost
exclusive of which was the Balti-
more u Ohio bill against the p. w.
q B. concern. Last night the House
Committee on Corporations held a
four hours session in which the bill
in question was the only matter
considered. Amendments requiring
actual work to be commenced in one
year and the i'm provement to be
completed In three years were adop-
ted. To-day the House was crowd
ed with spectators and lobbyists.
The b. - 0. people were present in
great force and asked for public
hearing this evening. The p. w. IL
b. people were completely surprised
at such move and succeeded in de-
feating it. Then a resolution was
adopted providing for a public hear
ing before the House Committee on
Corporations Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings next, when the pros
and cons of the railroad question
will be fully read.
Kent county, which has heretofore
been unrepresented in the Commit
tee on Corporations, to-day kicked
against the unintentional injustice
done its representatives, and Speak
er Williams promptly made amends
by appointing two gentlemen from
the middle county on this commit
tee.
Ihe town tonight is crowded with
railroad people. All roads seem to lead
quarters. There is great activity in
both places, aud the air is full OF rail-
road talk and Fumors Of the widest
kind Of combinations.
Now that we have given a general
view, allow us TO give view more In
accordance with our own judgment
George V. Massey is one Of the stron...
est lobbyists that ever bored legisla-
ture. He has scooped in the Dover
ring and is now using them to pull his
burnt chestnuts out of the fire. His
superior intellect and master manner of
bringing these fellows to time is superb
ly grand. They follow him like sheep
following bell wether.
Intimately acquainted with all his
schemes and with those men who dicker
with him, we are not surprised at GER.
tain representatives. opposition to the
bill to-day. You will find in the rsgu-
lar proceedings the various resolutions
that were offered and the names of
those who oppose measure that is of
the greatest interest to the State of Del

subject but leave the matter to our peo-
