which is to be built to Chestertown,
Md.
An act Incorporating the Confer
ence Academy was passed.
Mr.. Kenney introduced a bill to
repeal an act which permits Laurel
to raise $1,000 by tax to improve her
streets. This bill was cOncOcted by
the "old fogies" and it will be fought
to the bitter end by those who be-
lieve the amount already too small.
The bill presented by Mr.. Lynch
to repeal the act known as the Valued
Policy act will also be fought by
some people from New Castle county.
There are two sides to this story.
The people in New Castle county
and the city of Wilmington favor the
Valued Policy act because it COM
pels the insurance companies to pay
the face of the policy. In the lower
part of the State it is opposed be-
cause the insurance companies will
not take risks there. When the law
first went into effect the insurance
companies continued to take risks
on property the same as before. The
agents did not examine the proper
ties which they insured, but would
place a $4,000 policy on a $1,000
house. Dishonest people is claimed
secured such policies and immedi'
ately after their properties were de-
stroyed by fire. Now it is next to
impossible to insure properties in
the lower part of the State. 1t is on
this account that the bill to repeal
the Valued Policy act was intro
duced
Several bills were read a second
time by title and referred. The
House then adjourned until Tuesday
at 10 a. m.
Tuesday was a busy day in the
House on routine work, but no bills
Of great importance we're acted upon.
The General Assembly gave pub
lie hearing in Representatives Hall
to the Delaware Board of World 5
Fair managers, who came to urge a
further appropriation for the pro-
motion of the sheet IN view-the
collection, arrangement and display
Of Delaware products and expendi-
lures incident thereto. They are
asking for $4,000.
Mr.. Dasey presented the petition
Of George c. johnson for removal
from District l3l to 12I, Sussex
county. Referred.
Bills we're introduced to incorpo-
rate several societies in Wilmington,
and one by Mr.. Conoway, to divorce
William and Ann Perry; by Mrs.
Lynch a. William A. and Harriet E.

taken. The result will be that the

Camille Flammarion in his marvellous
story "OMEGA: The End of the
World, " which begins in the April

clared by astronomers inevitable.
The description begins at a time when
the business of the world las been
suspended, and at a great mass meet

we hear the discussion of scientists as
to the possibility of second deluge,

the possible phases of death paralleled

Judge G. G. Goodwin, editor Of
the Salt Lake Tribune, was member
OF the Trans Mississippi congress and
writes his opinion as follows:
The Trans Mississippi congress has
come and gone. 1t had great oppor-
tunity to do some good for silver: and
it is true that after hard, tedious
fight silver demand was voted. But
so many other things were also voted
that the popular judgement on this
session of the congress must certainly
be that its action was weak and inef-
fective.
1t began by a bitter squabble about
local questions in Kansas; then it had
a wrangle over the Nicaraguan canal,
finally endorsing it. But long string
of improvements were also endorsed,
of questionable value in themselves,
and of extremely doubtful propriety
for discussion and action in such n
body. All the deep harbors that any
body happened to think of were de-
manded, regardless of expense All
the rivers on the banks of which any
delegate CHANGED to reside were com
mended to the fostering care Of the
National Treasury, the cost not being
thought worth while to reckon. Hy-
draulic mining was given a boost, of
course at the National expense. All
the Territories were bespoken for adj
mission to the Union, regardless of
population OF fitness, and in at least

it is difficult to form an opinion as to
the intention of the administration In
regard to the proposed annexation of

however, is generally thought to in
