Now that Kent's muskrats and musk
ratters have been cared for by Dr.. Rioh-
ardson, Mr.. Brockson CONES along with q
bill for the protection Of the nuAkrsts of
New Castle county.
A House bill put through this morning
ELECTED the somewhat interesting fast that
only the record of the deed OF William
and Elizabeth Lewis, dated l747, was
needed to complete an uubsoken title back
70 William Penn for piece of ground In
Wilmington.
Tho Jingle divorce case is even more
hopolessly entspgled thau formerly. The
Senate has indefinitely postponed the rs-
considered bill and whether the Tingles
are thereby indefinitely unmarried or in
definitely remarked would puzzle an
archbishop TO determine. accidentally it
may be remarked that Mrs. Tingle is
suoh pretty girl and COMES hers 50 we'll
recommended by her pastor that most
people look upon her dissatisfied spouse
as one who DOES not know good thing
when he sees it.
Representative Brockeon's Muskrat bill
got an unexpected Ii this afternoon
through the desire OF few fun-ioying
members TO make the House proceedings
more interesting TO some lady visitors.
Casting around for subject, the sug-
gestion OF newspaper man that this bill
was an important matter that should be
hurried up met with general approval.
Through suspension Of the rules, the
bill, OF which notice had only been
given this morning, was introduced,
given second reading, and. after con-
siderable amusing horse-play, re-
ferrad to its rightful committee. Be.
fore this had been done the yeas
and nays had been called on
motion to refer to special committee
made up Of Messrs. Brook1on, Hynson,
CLARK, Biggs aud Downham. Messrs.
Lodge and Biggs made elcq1ent speeches,
setting forth that inuskrat hides bad
gone up with a rush since the pRs7lss Of
| Or. Richardgon's bill last week. and that
il was OF the utmost importance 10 New
| CASTLE county &, obtain this legislation ia
time to take advantage OF tue rise. L
| was fun for the ladies' but rough on the
rats.
The Senate concurred to-day in The
House (Downhsm) resolution appointing
| joint committee to investigate the ac-
| oounts of Observation-Disclosures Williams
aud Clerk of the Peaoe Cochran. Nobody
expresses doubt but that the diserepau-
oies In Mr.. Cochran's accounts will be
Satisfactorily explained without much
difficulty. Senate members Of committee,
Lewis and Ferguson; House members
Hoffecker. Dnwnham aud Whiteman.
Representative Clark's Australian Bal.
lot bill makes 81 pages of manuscript.
Mr.. Clark understands II to be oombi-
nation or oodihoation of two or three YER
sions of the Australian system. He will
probably introduce it tomorrow and
move for the printing of 1000 coplog.
Representative Armstrong; bill ia likely
to be also modification or eodilication
of two or more versions of the same sys-
tenn.
The House has indefinitely postponed
the Senate bill extending the provisions
of the exemption law TO married women
doing business in their own name. The
danger Of doubling up the exemption
ltuocked the measure out.
Among petitions presented during ths
day was flne from the colored convention
held here on the 9th inst, asking for an
increase of the annual appropriation for
oolored schools to B12, 900; the adoption
OF the district system as far as practica-
BILE aud the severance Of the colored
school tax from county, road and poor
taxes. W. e. Davis presented two petit.
tions: Ons from Thomas B. Courssy and
others, asking increased protection foI
food ash and the other for "the enact.
ment of new chapter for the protection
OF oysters in st. Jones and Murdsrkill
rivers, so plain that any one that can
read the law may be able to interpret it. '
