Preston Lea and Willard Salisbury
IL, ESD, representing the Wilmington
Gity Hallway Company, and Franklin
Is, Cotton and j. Harvey Whiteman
Esq, representing the Front and Union
syndicate, got together to day, and
effected an amicable arrangement, which
was laid before the committee this even
ing in the shape of amendments to the
Cotton bill. Both bills had stuck; the
Wilmington City Company's bill being
held up in the Senate TO force the move
ment of the Front and Union bill in the
House; and Mr.. Richards, chairman of
the committee in charge of the latter.
was untlinching in his determination
not to be coerced by any delay Speaker
Donahoe might impose upon the Will
mington City Company's bill. In a
waiting game Of this kind, Mr.. Richards
could be as determined as Speaker Dom
ahoe, and the blockade might have con
tlnued until the end of the session with
out shaking Mr.. Richards back
bone. Therefore the Cotton side
had to give way, if they were re-
sponsible for the Senate hold-up,
which they deny. The outcome Is
thus reported by Mr.. Salisbury eve

ments to the Front and Union) charter
The chief amendments are, providing
that they shall only have the right TO
use our tracks by mutual agreement;
that no right of condemnation shall be
exercised over us; that wherever our
Tracks are laid or wherever we are eX-
tending them, under permit from the
street and Sewer Department, they are
not to be interfered with in any way;
that they shall have the right to go on
the east side of the city if they want to
and to go west on Front street: that
they can run line on du Pont, Union
or i}roome streets, where our lines are
not laid or about to be extended. The
general provision about connections has
been stricken out and the right to use
steam as n motor prohibited. The whole !
thing is made subject to the Street and |
Sewer Department. They agree to |
Withdraw all opposition to our bill, but
claim they have made none, and with |
the amendments as agreed upon in com
lnlttee, we stipulate not to fight them
any more"
On motion of Mr.. Hutson, this after
noon, The adverse vote of yesterday on |
me Nudge divorce case was reconsid-
cred and the bill recommitted for a re-
of the testimony which has
been taken. Mr.. Eisenbrey objected to
The reconsideration, but voted prac.i-
ially alone against it. In the short

ny face as solidly as stone wall
against any more divorce proceedings in
his General Assembly. We can scarcely
ret quorum in the House while the
llyorce committee is in session."
Mr. Hickman got the Greonberg di-
'orce case through this afternoon, with
,ut hitch, while Mr.. Eisenbrey's atten-
ion was momentarily diverted. This
case where the petitioner, a Jewess,
vas married, by a Camden, N. j., mag
strate toa man who already had wife.
Under the circumstances it was doubt
u whether the marriage possessed any
finding force whatever, but the prevail
ng impression was that a divorce should

bly, free. A precedent was set BY a
rcvious Legislature in granting d.
orces TO two of the wives of Prince
William Decker-it was not altogether
ertain how many wives he had in the
ggregate.
