The reason why this act does not apply
to New Castle county is because the Five
Commissioners bill has already provided
for that county. The Five Commissioners
bill, having been signed by both speakers,
was deposited with the secretary of State
this afternoon and is now full tiedged
law.
THE FULTON TAX BILL KILLED.

taxationl-or more correctly the substi-
tllte therefor recently reported from COM
mittee-was consigned to the tomb this
afternoon by vote of 10 to 8. The
funeral occupied about IL hours. Messrs.
Eisenbrey and Higgins delivered lengthy
speeches in advocacy of the bill and Mr..
Hutson followed in brief and more mod
crate vein in its favor. The vote was as
follows;
Ayes-Eisenbrey, Hickman, Higgins,
Hutson, West, Speaker Sirman-6.

ton. Jackson. Marvel, Morris e. j., Morris

THE DOVER BANK WINS.
The bill to require the deposit of all
moneys received by the State treasurer in
the Farmers Bank at Dover-a reminis-
cence of the early part of the session
came up in the House this afternoon. Mr..
Smith stood up calamity for the right of
the Wilmington branch bank TO a share of
the funds which solargely come from that
city, and u. j. Morris did the same right
thing by the Georgetown Bank. Mr..
Smith told the members that the Farmers
Bank at Wilmington can get 9 per cent
for all the money it can get hold of, and
does not have enough to supply its GUS
toners. Again he said II can't for the
life Of me understand why the Dover
bank should have all the money. know
to my certain knowledge that the Farmers
Bank at Wilmington has sent customers to
other banks, and they contend that if they
had the money they could loan it out at
per cent while the Dover bank has had to
loan it at 2 per cent ] contend that the
Farmers Bank at Wilmington should have
a portion of the fund "
Messrs. Higgins and Hutson spoke in
favor of giving it all to the Dover bank.
The vote was uncertain, but the speaker
said II believe the ayes have it, and,
nobody calling for the yeas and nays, he
declared the bill passed.
DOVER. May AS soon as the journal
had been read and approved, in the House
this morning, Mr.. Hutson arose to a ques-
tion of privilege.

before the hour of meeting, called on
