though but few State matters of intcres
mcr,, acted upon. The various commit
,ae, however, having these matters il

uor;aut matters on hand.
'To-day's session of the House, not
outstanding the fact that nearly all OF
III, S,,,rx members had vacated and
zone home, was a busy one and the re-
naming members were 10th to move tnr
an adjournment, and it was nearly two
IrIork before they ad journrh for din

il was until Monday afternoon at 4.30
o'clock, while the upper House will
meet at o'clock the same afternoon.
Another effort was made to-day to
ms, "A Joint resolution locking towards Il
nual adiournincnt but again was mn
successful. The resolution originated
in the House, and was to the effect that
no nrw business of II private nature

was read in the Senate that body
snmdcd it by Striking out the words
"of private nature, and sent il back

Delaware Railroad. giving that Com

ton to run through the town of Smyrna
and connect with the main line again
at point near Hrentord station, PASSED
the House, and having previously
PASSED the Senate is now a law and the
Company will soon commence building
operations.
The Senate showed their wise judg-
mrnt Yesterday in defeating two ulI.
wSr House bills, The first was an
amendment to section IA, chapter 80,
Revised Statutes, allowing the plaintiff
in an attachment where garnishces are
summoned to recover judgement by
default against the garnishcc for full
amount ol his claim.
Mr.. Co"pcr, Of the Committee ON Re-
yiScd Statutes, III reporting the bill un-
iavorabIy, said that in the judgment
of the committee the bill gave justices
ol til" frac" higher power than the
superior Court nov had in cases Of
TN, kind, which they thought should
never BE-, and not only that but it was
doing the garnishct Il great injustice,
consequently the bill was laid ON the
table.
The other bill was in relation to the
submission Ut questions To the judiciary, |
which was considered unnecessary ana .
waS moi in strict accordance with the
teachings ut the Constitution. Among
other things ia" bill provided that in
east any question was submitted to tie
Judiciary, THAI session oi The tuurt oi
