cians who spent fortune In DIR.
Brown-Sequard's elixir in their desper-
ate endeavor to keep life In the
patient, for the patient is now in a
worse condition than ever. 1t had q
,congestive chill yesterday morning,
and after consultation held in the.
afternoon the doctors decided that the
safest course to pursue was to put 1t
back In bed, and tender hands yeeter-
day Afternoon laid 1t to rest In the COM
mittee's little bed.
The story Of the days tragedy is O
pathetic one. 1t was thought that
everything was fixed" but to make
assurance doubly sure conference
WINS held Tuesday night again on It,
1t was sounded In every part, thor
oughly examined, every point eanvass-
ed, and the more 1t was examined
the more perfect 1t seemed.
All that was necCssary apparently was
TO pull the string at II O'Clock yester-
day and the thing wasdone. But when
the string was pulled 1t was found the
machine wouldn't work.
There was screw loose somewhere,
and II little investigation soon develop
ed the fact that more than one screw
was loose.
1t was soon given out that neither
Senator Williams nor Senator Hall
would vote for the bill. Then to use
the only term that suited the occasion,
there was the devil to pay. The out
slders didn't know what to make oft
and the insiders knew only too well.
Senators Williams and Hall have re-
, Elected and the more they reflected the
more satisfied they became that the
bill was not a measure they could vote
for-and when men like Senator VIII

their minds on point, 1t takes well It
, takes more pressure than the engi-
-neer5 of the Five Commission bill can
bring to hcar to move them. They are
both decided in their opinions, and
thoy had their opinions on that bill.
1t was OF no use; they would not
move and yesterday afternoon another
conference was held. What was ex-
actly decided on there, could not be
learned but 1t was rumored that Sena-
tor Williams said he would not vote
for the bill unless II was further amend
ed SO as to allow the people to elect
, the Commissioners and that they
should be elected on the third Tues
day in May tho date set for the special
!, election on the constitutional question.
IL Is also further rumored that Senator
Hall is OF the opinion that II Com
: missioner is good thing for New
Castle County it's lust as good thing
for Kent and Sussex, and that the bill
should lie changed to u sort OF State
concern, aid that oil the Commits
,sioners might as well be elected ut the
I same time.
! Be this as II may though the men,
! bers OF that conference said nothing,
i thcy quietly recommitted the bill TO
committee, and it was called up late
in the afternoon.
There It Is now, how long will II
stay theIeg And in what shape will it
IL come out2
