DOVER, Del Dec. 19.-Dovers police
force put in a solid ten hours every day

The employees Of the Messrs. Richard.
son work till $50 every night now,

II is said that several of the foreign
stock companies doing business here have
notified their agents that they
will renew no policies here on account
of the valued policy law passed last ses-
sion. This law, it will be remembered,
went into effect on January /, 1890.
Senator Richardson, who is the father of
the law, is eThphatically of the opinion
that the state can stand it if the foreign
companies can. They have tried the
same game in other states where the law
has been in operation for years. When
they found the states wouldn't knuckle
to them, they've dropped from their os
tracising tactics every time. The senator
is Of the opinion that the people of Della
ware have too much stamina to tolerate
being dictated to by foreign insurance or
any other companies. The law only asks
them to transact on the square, business
principles, and if they can't measure up
to that, why the state can get along bet-
ter without them.
The Board of Directors Of the Delaware
Railroad met at the Office here yesterday

On April 30, 1885, Constitutional Govern
ment in the United States was ushered in
with the inauguration of George Washington
as first President at Federal Hall in New
York. General Washington had Travelled by
coach from Mount Vernon to Elizabethtown.
n. j., his journey being one continuous ova-
ton. At Ehzabethtown he was conveyed in
barge, rowed by thirteen harbor pilots. and
followed by procession of boats to the CITY.
There the installation ceremonies took place
on April 30 in Federal Hall, located at Wall
and Broad street, on the site of what is now
che massive United States Sub-Treasurv
building
And now, hundred years after that mo-
mentous event, the Centennial of the birth of
Constitutional Government has been ce1e-
brated in style of unparalleled magnif-
cence. There have been three days of ma
t1onal rejoicing in the Metropolis. Three
days marked with parades on land and sea-
banquets, receptions, decorations fireworks
and Examinations. The Empire CITY was
one vast field of decorative display. Flags
and bunting waved and f1uttered EVERYWHERE
throughout the length and breadth of the
great city. The humblest tenement as well
as the prOudeSt mansion rendered tribute to
the Joyous occasion by a display of the
national cOlOrs or gaily decorated picture of
the immortal Washington. Visitors from
all parts of the country came pouring into
the city by every train, and it is estimated
that at least 500, 900 strangers were in town
to view the ceremonies. A detailed account
OF what occurred during the three days of
the Centennial Celebration is subjoined.
