It now seems probable that Chief
Justice Conegys will be able to re-
sumo his seat when the Superior
Court for New Castle County opens in
this city next Monday, for which
everybody should be devoutly thank
full, and it is sincerely hoped that his
increasing good health will long con-
tinue.
Should neither he nor Associate
Houston not be able to be prese mt,
there is no telling what mudlle
would ensue.
Yesterday, Thomas f. Bayard ami
w. 2. Spruance representing the New
Castle bur went down to Dover ami
held conference with Edward
Ridgley, N. Il. Smithers and j. Alex.
ander Fulton of the Kent county bar
over the matter.
These gentlemen fully discussed
the situation and came to the conclu.
sion that 1t would not be advisable to
ask Governor Reynolds at this time to
call an extra session OF the Legis!a.
ture. 1t had been proposed that the
Legislature should pass u penSiuning
act to enable any judge to retire from
the bench upon reaching the age of 20
but owing to the fair promise or Gnici
Justice ComeEy5 improved health, IL
was Thought best to let the matter &c
over, for the next Legislature.
The people OF Sussex are understood
to lie opposed TO any pension act
whatever, SO tnat il the legislature
was called together there was no
knowing what the upshot would be
The members OF the bar convened at
Dover yesterday had no desire to take
any action which might in thu slight
est degree be distusteful to the judges
who have served the State So long
and faithfully, and SO let the whoLt
matter drop for the present.

bridge Committee Meeting,

|
Messrs. Jolls, Grub, Hickman
| the committee OF the Levy Court to
ascertain for what sum bridge could
be erected across tho Brandywlne be-
| tween Market street bri1ge and the
Il. IL .. Railroad. met at the court
house yesterday morning.
Three places, Washington street.
VanBuren and Brooine were under
consideration. George A. Elliott, Esq,
was present on behalf OF the Broomo
| street site, and Charles w. Bryan, a
civil engineer of tho Edge Moor Iron
Company, was also present by invita-
ton, the latter having been invited by
MIR. Jolls. In reply to question, Mr..
Bryan stated that he did not think a
bridge at either of the streets named
| would cost more than $50, 900. and he
| thought the Edge Moor Iron Company
would build bridge from abutment
to abutment at either point for that
much money.
Mr.. Hickman suggested that 1t
would DO well to secure plans and es-
Inmates from number of bridge
builders.
Mr.. buckingham thought that the
| committee could report to the Levy
Court that bridge could DO built at
either site at cost not exceeding $780,
600.
Mr.. Hickman said that Mr.. Lucius
OF New York had calculated that the
bridge could be built for $4,000.
MIR, Hutchinson thought bids for
building bridge could DO built with
better grace after it had been deter
mined to build one.
MIR. Buckingham said that tho com.
mittee had at least got a reduced esti-
| mate Of the cost of the bridge from
$500. 600 to $50. 600.
Mr.. JolIs called attention to the fact
that IL was the financial part of the
transaction that more interested the
Levy Court; he had no doubt OF the
need OF bridge across the Brandy
wine at one of the points named.
MIR. Grubb said that the bridge was
demanded by Christiana and Whining.
ton Hundreds and those hundreds pay
two-thirds Of all tho taxes. The Water
Department he said will contribute
$40, 000,an with u slight increase work
could be commenced.
MIR. Clark wanted to know how
much the street car company and tn G
private property owners would pay
toward tho bridge.
MIR. Elliott said the property owners
Increased taxes.
In answer to Mr.. Grub, Mr.. Bryan
said the difference In cost between
the sites could be covered by few
hundred dollars.
Mr.. Eliason said II the Levy Court
saw Its way clear to build the
bridge it should be done, but he did
not want to leave a legacy OF debt tc
those who come after.
Mr.. Buckingham suggested that O
report be made out to present to the
Levy Court, that from reliable infor.
mai ion u bridge can be built at either
OF the sites for $50, 600.

yesterday closed out to us
20 styles of little fellows

soon they'll be sold.

mains no doubt now that the Doctor
