An Excuse for ue.alin,,on.

Speaker Hotfeoker has appointed
Messrs. Whitewsn, Biggs, Richardson,
Clark, Wallace and Lingo, to consider
the arti-Chicago dressed beef bill. A
Legislative correspondent says they will
kill 1t. II they do not, we favor killing
tho committee. OF the 200 bills intro.
duced in the House this session this il
the most foolish ind mischievous. II ia
clearly unconstitutional, because 1t in.
fringes the rights of interstate commerce.
The bill is simply the demand of few
gsangers who wish all legislation in their
favor, and without regard TO the rights or
interests OF others. There has been too
much Of this sort of legislation, the oleo-
margarine law Of the last session being a
bad sample. We hope that when such a
measure becomes law in Delaware that
Illinois and other states will not receive
Delaware peaches unless they are in.
spected on The tree.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
SMYRNA, March 1.-THE hayfork and
piano swtadlers an account OF whose
operation with Mr.. Samuel Armstrong
arc given on another page of this issue,
have been run to earth and forced to quit
these parts. As was supposed the bit of
card to which Mr. Armstrong attached
his signature was convertible into ne
gotisble note and the amount of IL after
the swindlers had fxed II up was 1886. so.
Adams, alias Perry, tho prime mover
In the transaction, was closely watched
pending the effort to obtain the warrant
fol his arrest, which the officer was
obliged to get from the New Castle
county authorities. The warrant was
obtained and placed in the hands Of
Officer b. V. Weldon OF Smyrna, who TO-
Gated his man at Green spring. Perry
slipped away from Clayton late Friday
night and walked to Green Spring. He
boarded the early train north, all uncon-
scious OF the surprise party on board for
him. When the train moved away from
the depot Officer Weldon made his pres.
ence known, stated his business and
placed hand cuffs on the man. He Of
fered no resistance. Upon renching
Townsend the officer alighted with his
prisoner, aud procuring conveyance
drove to Blackbird, where Perry ives
given hearing before Squire Deakyne.
The testimony Of the witnesses, who
bad been telegraphed for, showed Perry
under, and he admitted the swindle. On
behalf of Mr.. Armstrong compromise
was offered il he woald surrender the
note. he very readily agreed to the
proposition and wrote ON order for the
note to one of his confederates ct Clayton
who kept it in his possession. A meesen-
ger was despatched thither, and the note
was given mp. Perry was thereupon re-
leased and immediately shook Delaware
soil from his feet.
While the events above recorded were
transporting, "Jones' aud "Guise,n the
other members OF the firm were under
surveillance at Hotel Stoeokel, Clayton,
by an officer with a warrant for their
arrest. They kept severely secluded
within their room, and not until the sur.
render Of the note did they appear out
side. They took the night train north,
presumably to join Perry in seeking
newer pastures for their hsyfork and
piano business.

yiyors in no particular way, and many
who took holiday on the occasion Of tho
event-notably some OF the telegraphers

covered the ground with heavy

mosphere with bitter colaness and
flying particles Of ice, offered great
contrast with the present weather. Last

The right For the Clty,s Money.

Notwithstanding the refusal by City
Council of their request for division OF
the city's depoaits, now kept entirely in
the Union Bank, the other banks will
carry the fight to the Legislature, and
bill providing for the scheme is now being
prepared. The proposed plan is to secure
the passage of amendments to the char.
tera OF the Water Commission, Street and
Sewer Department and the Board Of Edu.
cation to deposit their funds In any bank
they see fit. Should these amendments
prevail it is supposed that the aocouuts
of the Street and Sewer Department would
be transferred to the Farmers Bank
those OF the Water Commission to
the Bank Of Wilmington and Brandywine;
those of the Board of Education to the
Central Bank; while the account of the
City Council would remain OF the Union.
The Water Department receipts amount
to abont $1l0, 600 in the course Of a year,
and those Of the Street and Sewer De.
partment TO nearly as much. The Board
of Education receives this year $95 600
for school purposes (and is entitled to S
per cent increase yearly, payable in
monthly instalments, and 800, 600 addi
tional, payable In lump, for the erection
OF new school houses. A lively contest
is expected when the subject Ia pressed
upon the attention OF the Legislature.

A WoRp TO suBscRIB sRs.

For the first time since We became
connected with the REGISTER-nOw
more than seven years-we shall SEND
out within the next week or two, state
mepts of account to all our delinquent
subscribers. 1t IL most unwelcome
task, but in justice to our business
and to our creditors-we are compelled
to do it. No one subscriber owes us
very much, but there are several hun.
dred who owe us from 81 to $40, and
the aggregate burden Is more than we
can carry. During the past three or
four years, while times were hard, we
have not pressed anybody for pay
ment. But now that times are some
what better, 1t does not seem as II
those who are indebted to us should
consider 1t hardship to be asked to
render us what is our own. For 1t
should be remembered that while we
have waited on our su oscribers from two
to seven years, our creditors have not
waited on us. Our bills have to be
settled at the end of every month In
hard cash. Every paper that goes out
of this Office is paid for in advance by
the publisher, and he must trust to
the honor of his subscribers to get his
money back. We hope this trust will
not prove to have been misplaced In q
single instance. If you cannot pay
the whole amount of your bill now
paw part of it as an evidence Of good
faith. And if you are inclined to be
nettled at receiving a " dun," remem.
Der that we are infinitely more sorry
to be compelled to send 1t than you can
be TO receive it.
