FIFTH EDITION.


Correspondence OF the REPUBLICAN.
DcvER, April 3.-After Wednesdays
whirl, the Legislature settled down
into routine ruts again, and though
much business was done, it VIVA OF
routine character. MIR. X. r.. Morris
brought in new railroad bill. 1t Is
entitled ar act to incorporate the
Georgetown, Milton and Delaware
Bay Railroad Company. Ex-senator
Dorman, Ex-Governor Ponder, Ebe
Tunnel and other well known Sussex
nen are named as in oorporators.
The road Is TO run from Georgetown
to the mouth of the Broadkiln via
Milton. The capital stock Is fixed at
sac, 900 and the corporation is.to organ
4 lie when one-third Of the stock shall
have been subscribed for. The shares
arc to be $25 each. The Sussex MEM
bers arc all interested In this bill. They
say that the road will do much to de-
velop the section through which 1t Is
/ to run.
The House Free School Book LII
passed this afternoon unanimously.
| This is substitute for the original
House bill introduced early In the ses-
sion. 1t is almost similar to tho Senate
bill, which passed the Upper House yes
terday and OF which synopsis was
given in the REPUBLICAN yesterday.
| lut OIly tobCHLHti ttdtutto Ill Which
it differs Is that II does not provide FOR
a State superintendent. and this Is one
point tho House will Insist on and
that 1t approprlates but $4,000 to tho
colored school instead OF $4,000, the
appropriation made In the Senate bill.
Ii Is likely thore will be q committee
OF conference on the bills before either
| of them pass, and IL looks now as
though the House will insist on no
State superintendent, but will accept
the 800 appropriation for eolored
schools.
In the House bill also the State
treasurer Is directed TO purchase books
only from the publishers" while tho
Senate bill allows the books to be-
bought from home dealers as we'll as
from the publishers" IL they can DO
obtained at schedule rates.
Mr.. Chapman called up his game bill
this afternoon, but on motion 1t was
made the special order for the day at
| IL a. m.
This Is nm Important bill, and will
interest sportsmen, especially nom
residents. Section says that from
and after the passage OF this act, it
shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to ship, take or carry away, or
attempt to ship, take, or carry out OF
this State, any quail, partridge, robin
Or rabbit dead or alive for purposes
OF sale or otherwise. And 1t shall DO
unlawful for any person who Is q nom
resident OF this State to ship take OF
carry, or attempt to ship, take or carry
away any quail, robin, partridge or
rabbit, dead or alive, from one county
to another county In this State for
the purposes OF sale or otherwise.
This is the bill and then follows the
penalties, which are five dollars for
each bird or rabbit, Then follows
proviso which makes 1t lawful for any
one to kill any sort OF game oil his own
land at any time during the year.
There will be some heavy discussion
on this bill before IL Passes, but Mr..
Chapman has hopes of passing it all
the came.
The Senate got rid OF two more d.
vorce bills yesterday afternoon after
tusslelng as usual over them.
The Senate passed yesterday tho
weekly payment" bill but with an
amendment that knocks the bottom
clean out OF II.
Speaker Donahoe has fought hard for
this bill. IL was lie who had it intro
duced, but the Senate has amended
and re-amended it, uutil it Is hardly
recognizable. But its the last Soc
ton of the bill that knocks the wind
out of the whole affair.
This section, which Is an Amendments
Just put on yesterday, provides that
nothing herein contained shall impair
or interfere with any contract or
agreement in regard to the payment
of wages entered into between en-
ployer and employee.
1t will be readily seen that this does
not prescribe anything and rather mul.
tiplies the other provisions of the bill.
: The proposed new registration law
will not be in this week, as 1t is not in
shape yet Mr.. Nicholson, who is
draughting 1t, however, says IL will DO
ready by Tuesday next.
