up a bill abolishing the game associa-
ton l will vote for it. The shape OF the
bill caused the committee to report it
unfavorably.
Mr. Chipman-The game named in
this bill is about the only game that is
of benefit to the farmer, and il the
farmer is not benefited what is to be-
come of the country Are we to allow
the people from the cities and towns to
| flood the country in the fall and kill the
birds that protect our cropsg II there
is any class in the world that wants
benetitting it is the farmer class. If
this game is to be killed and carried out
of the State as has been done, in a few
years we shall have none.
Mr.. Eisenbrey-This is question
that very much interests the farmers,
and, as il has come upon us uneXpect-
eddy, / would move that it be laid on
the table and made the special order for
tomorrow at II o'clock.
This was done. 1t looks as though
the bill may pass.
The Senate to-day concurred in the
House joint resolution appropriating
$4,000 to pay for the Georgetown Insane
| Asylum, with an amendment directing
the Sussex trustees of the poor to apply
the money to the liquidation Of their
outstanding obligations, amounting to
between $4,000 and $1,000. This $4,000
| appropriation was authorized in pur-
suance of an agreement made when the
State purchased the New Castle asylum
two years ago. No bill or resolution
has yet been introduced to remove the
cloud which still hangs over the $4,000
of State bonds then ordered for the CON
summation of this purchase. This is a
matter that has been frequently talked
Of but has not yet gone beyond talk.
The trouble was that the act authoriz-
ing these bonds originated in the Senate,
when, as an appropriation bill, it should
have originated in the House.
The Senate also put through the
Weekly Payments bill, but with a pro-
viso that makes il little better than
waste paper, as follows: provided that
nothing herein contained shall impair
or interfere with any arrangement or
contract entered into between employer
and employe."
Mr. Eisenbrey called up yesterday
afternoon the bill, introduced by him
self, to divorce Mary A. from William

ton. Wherefore his appearance as the
mover for the passage Of divorce bill
cause the House to smile, and the smile
expanded considerably when the quiet
and diminutive Mr.. Tindall arose and
with an air of ineffable guilelessness
said, in the words SO often used by Mr.
Eisenbrey Il would like to know on
what grounds this divorce is asked. =
