Etaff Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL
DovER. Del. Feb 1S-The eighth
week Of the General Assembly opened to-
s3ay with a determination on the mem
hers part to get in good work. During
the day considerable legislation was
started The members do not propose to
stay away from the inauguration Of Har-
rison. although it was thought the matter
had been dropped. Representative Wal
lace introduced resolution in the House
this morning appointing committee of
three to look after the arrangements
necessary to attend the Inauguration.
Representatives Wallace, Richardson,
and Gray were appointed the committee.
The Senate promptly concurred.in the
resolution. and Senators Richardson and
Moore were appointed on behalf Of that
body. Just what is intended to be done
has not yet been decided upon. Hitherto
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has taken the members, but it is feared
that the Inter State Commerce law may
prevent it this year. Some Of the Re
publican members are anxious that Della
ware make as good q showing at this in
auguration as was made at Cleyelands.
Should this idea be carried out, then
company of militia viii be sent to Wash
1ngton to participate in the parade or
perhaps the whole militia.
IMMORAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
Mr.. Whiteman is after vulgar and OBJ
scene advertisements and the vandal who
defaces rocks and fences without regard
to the rights of individual owners or any
one else. He introduced in the House
yesterday morning an act making it a
misdemeanor, punishable with fine and
Imprisonment, for any person himself, or
through another, TO post or print any OBJ
scene or vulgar poster or advertisement
within the border of the state. The sec
ond section makes it a fine with the same
penalties for any one to disfigure rocks
fences, trees and buildings unless the
owner or tenant gives consent. The act
is comprehensive and under its provis-
ions some Of the theatrical advertise
ments that frequently appear around
Wilmington would be squelched. 1t is
at these that it more particularly directs
The provision about rocks, trees etc,
would relieve the public of one of the
great nuisances that dishgure romantic
places.
WILMINGTON BILLS
Senator Donahoe and Representative
Gray furnish nearly one-half the bust
ness, and this of course comes from viii
mington. They both complain, however
that their constituents do not send on
their work fast enough, and unless it
comes pretty soon they both win be so
loaded down with work that somebody
win get left, and this in face Of the fact
that Wilmington has two of the hardest
working representatives that 1t has had
for years Among the bills introduced
by representative Gray were one to in
corporate Columbia Lodge, No. 26, I. o.
@. IT,, OF Wilmington, act to incorporate
the City Market House Company; for the
relief Of the Delaware Loan and to incor-
porate the Stone and Hudson Supply
Company. The act to incorporate the
City Market House Company Is Of inter.
est ON account Of the age of the corpora
tion. The Market House was first built
in 1882 and the corporation has existed
contemporaneous with that date. In 1874
the present corporation was formed and
the city g interest In the house leased to
fhe corporation. The latter then elected
Shefpresent fine building upon athe site.
Their lease expires shortly and it is nee
essary to have the company reincorpor-
ated before the expiration Of the lease.
Senator Donahoe win probably present
to-day the act Incorporating the Eighth
street railway. The act provides for an
electric line from one end of the street to
che other. An amendment to the banking
Laws was also given notice Of by the SEN
ator yesterday. II provides that mailed
notice Of a protested note or check will
be legal notice At present, as is well
known, notice is required to be served
personally. With Wilmington's large
and growing interests this has been
found to be great burden to the banks
AFTER STATE LAND.
Representative Richardson has com
menced war on lands that are now held
under grants from the state. His Joint
committee on Kent Island has engaged
George Y Massey, Esq, and he is pre-.
pairing the papers and making investiga-
tions as to the states title. The doctor
says that he is not half done with this
matter yet, and he does not propose to
stop until he has every acre Of land right
fully due the state. He says at present
there are at least 5000 acres that are
illegally held by squatters, and he pro
poses to ask that the committee be given
power to make all these men show their
title
GRAVES FOR SOLDIERS.
The Grand Army again desires to come
before the Legislature and ask state aid
Tor the burial Of soldiers They asked
this same thing two years ago and the
members failed to see Just why the state
should do this. The government Of the
United States certainly takes sufficient
care Of the soldier and why an appeal
should be made to the state government
Is bard to understand.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republicans held caucus tonight
and among other things considered was
the state treasurer and state auditor.
The Senate almost as soon as they re-
ceived the joint resolutions appointing
Houston and Moore nonconcurred in
them. The Republicans win now stop
trihing and several Of them recognize the
justice Of the criticism upon them in these
columns last Friday, and have come to
the conclusion to do the right thing and
it is not unlikely that the names Of Her.
bert and Boyce viii be sent to the Senate
to-day. They have determined at least
not to oppose this amendment to the reso-
lutions If the Democrats offer it again.
