WILL NOT ADJOURN THIS WEEK.
II Is very certain that theLegislaturs
will not be nble to adjourn this week,
and from tho amount OF unfinished
business on hand, it Is probable that
the session will extend into May.
There seems all unwlllingness on the
part OF the members to make final dis.
pc sition of the Police Commission
bill, aud that still greater inlqnity. thu
bill which proposes 20 rnturn Joseph
l.. Carpenter Jr,. to the Street and
Sewer Commission. The trio, John T..
Dlokey. Patrick Neary and WIN. L.
Callahan are clamoring to have these
bills passed. for political and pecuniary
benefit. but on tho other hand, the
great majority of the people oppose
them, especially the one TO ralnstats
Mr. Carpenter in tho Street and Saver
Com mission.
AN IMPORTANT MATTER,
Mr.. Cooch's bill progiding for q
work-house. whore prisonors will be
obliged to break stone to be used on
the roads OF New Castle county, 10 an
important measure, and demands tha
attention OF the mambers. The Jail
at New Castle 10 always overcrowded,
and the prisoners lead lives ofidlsnass
at the expense of the hard working
taxpayers. IL this bill becomes q law,
every male prisoner who IL physically
able, will bs required to earn his own
living. Il will also give the county
good roads at small cost The way
the prisoners are kept in New Castle
jail under the present system Is dos
moralizing to the greatest degree. ii
every prisoner In New Castle Jail. who
has served live or more years was ro-
leased, 1t Is a question II one out OF
ten would go to work.
They have lived in idleness so long
that work has become such bugbear,
that they would adopt any course to
still continue In the old ruts. This bill
should be passed us 1t will not only
lessen the number OF prisoners, and
relieve the people OF the expense OF
maintaining them, but will also teach
the prisoners habits Of industry.

Central Cemetery Company passed the
House this morning. Tho new ooia'
pany will open and conduct q oome'
terry somewhere In or near Whining
