cass burned, and the owner should have
been remunerutal for It's loss. only by
such measures can we be prepared to
stamp out such Diseases and prevent them
from getting fOothold III Delaware. We
wish TO make next Monday an OCCASION
when everybody interested in this kind of
sanitation shall feel himself invited to join

will be present and take an active interest
in the proceedings.
BY m amusing blunder, which caused a
great deal OF merriment when reported in
the House. the Senate adopted resolution
10 90 to Farnhurst. instead of Newark.
This was afterwards Slrnightened out. Mr..
P"le, who offered tho Farnhurst resolu-
ton, insisted that Dir. Black told him
"FarnhursJ,3 but the laugh was on the
Wilmington Senator for 1lle time being.
What makes this subject keenIy inter
estins TO WilmingtoniaiEs is that cattle not
good enough for beef are known by the
suggestive slang appellation of "bolognas"
and, also, that the advisabiiity of milk in
spection may come up as cognate ques.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS GALORE.
4 bill was given notice Of to-day for an
electric railway between Wilmington and
New Castle.
Another gentleman, who withholds his
name but VINO is Il solid man whose utter
ances carry weight, says there is real in
tention on the part of responsible men TO
construct railway between the two cities.
He knew nothing of Mr.. Cooper's bill, nor
the parties behind it, but did not think il
represented the men he himself had in
mind Still, if the Cooper bill really
meant business, he thought il might be ac-
ceptable to the others. A suggestion by
this gentleman was that u return loop be
constructed to take in route by way Of
Farnhurst-no joke intended.
la connection with the Cooper bill rail
way, it is learned that the contemplated
company proposes also to do the electric
lighting OF New Castle.
Another electric railway project. which
comes through channel that entities it
to consideration, is COR the construction of
such a road from Fourth street wharf,
Wilmington, to Brandywine Springs.
William jerks Fell tried to get bill for
this very route through the General As
sembly of 1891, but it failed to pass the
Senate. My information is that there is
no jerks Fell in the movement now con-
templated. The story is that eastern capi-
talists-my informant thinks Bostonians,
but is not positive as to othat-contemplate
buying out Brandywine Springs and con-
verting the grounds into a public park
with such attractions as shall make them
popular resort. 1t is further stated that
the scheme is bona fide, and that charter
will be asked from this General Assembly.
Still another story is that a syndicate
has been or is being formed to buy out the
whole Wilmington city railway system
and franchises and afterwards to extend
the same on u liberal scale.
ODDS AND ENDS.
There has been no call yet for the Sena-
torial caucus but il is taken for granted
that it will be held Monday night next and
that the state treasurer and auditor will
be agreed on at the same time. So far as
human foresight goes it may be regarded
as certain that no other name than that of
George Gray will be mentioned in the
Senatorial caucus.
Governor Reynolds granted pardon to-
day to Rafaello Amazuddo of Wilmington,
who was convicted on May 18th last of as
sault with intent to kill, and was sentenced
to one years imprisonment, one hour in
the pillory and $500 fine.
CLERK Layton is making an excellent
start. Declining all profrered assistance,
he made out his own journal of yesterday
proceedings, being only the second day of
this Legislative session, and it was APP
proved without single correction. This
is an unusual record for new clerk.
Mr. Spruance gave notice this afternoon
Of bills to transfer the appointment of
coroner's physician for New Castle county
from the Trustees of the Poor to the new
Board OF County Commissioners. and to
create new commission to inspect and
pass upon new index being prepared by
Recorder Shallcross. The commissioners
named two years ago were unwilling to
serve. The proposed commission is to
comprise George u. Brown, William f..
Lyman and Peter l.. Cooper.
The committee OH settlement with the
Secretary OF State reported that Secretary
Marvel had collected in state taxes on GER
tain licenses lie is empowered to issue So, 1856
for the two years ending December 3lst,
being nearly 81 900 more than any of his
predecessors, and that he had expended
Sl29.3l in excess of the contingent fund
allowance of $500 made by the last .egis-
lature. 1t was explained that this extra
expense was attributable to the cost of i'm
proved license records required by u recent
statute. The House voted 10 appropriate
$500 for contingent expenses for the
coming two years, out of which apprOpria-
ton Secreiary Marvel should reimburse
himself for this excess. leaving net con-
tingcnt fund of Si7O.69. The Senate non
concurrcd in this to avoid the appearance
of precedent for increasing The cons
! tingcnt fund, preferng to pay Mr. Marvel
SI99,3l and appropriate $500 as heretofore.
The matter will be satisfactorily arranged
on this basis. Qualification was expressed
in both hOuses over the good showing
made by thescCretary' 5 accounts, vouchers,
and improved records.
