The legislators are "agin' it"
Playing the Last Trick.

It is said that the opponents Of the
gallows frame bridge over the Brandywine
on the line of Fourth street extended
have decided TO play their last card In
the General Assembly. A measure is
being prepared, If certain statements are
TO be believed, which will order the Levy
Court to cease the maintenance of the
bridge and to remove it. That such a
measure will fRd Waterloo here goes
almost without saying. Speaking of the
matter tonight an influential member of
the General Assembly said
LET the bill come It will never
pass. Job Jackson would like to fence
the city in, but he can't do it. He was
whipped in the court and now he wants
us to do what other bodies have refused
to do. The county got the bridge for moth
ing it is able to maintain it land the struet-
ure shall not be torn down for job Jack
sons accommodation if | can prevent
it. He had public street blocked of
and used it for lumber yard, and he
would like 10 do it again, but he win be
sending his bill to a poor place to effect
his purpose if he sends it here

Monday TO inspect the State Hospital for
the Insane. The honorable members Of
the upper House are afraid of the small
pox in the almshouse near by.
The House Joint resolution proposing
that the visit be- made next Monday was
called up by Senator Pyle this afternoon
and disposed Of in short order. Senator
Records and other members alluded TO
the smallpox, and the resolution was
non-concurred in. Smallpox infection,
asylum inspection, hearty dinner and
big appropriation are too much for one
short day
The visit will doubtless be made at a
later stage of the infection.
No Commercial Legislation.
There is one class Of legislation which
the Senators are determined to look out
for during this session. That is com.
mercial" bills-measures which are lob
bied through for the sole purpose of get
ging the franchise and selling it to the
highest bidder In the words of one of
the senators who voiced the sentiments
of several of his colleagues:
eve are ready to vote for any legiti-
mate measure for any men who mean
business, but we are not going to vote
lOf measures WHICH nave uelJuef cuAidc-
ter nor money back Of them.
The Silverbrook Question.
What has become of the bill for the
condemnation of SilverbrookY
It must be lost, strayed or stolen
or very slow in getting over forty
two miles of ground. This bill, which
caused so much excitement here two
years ago, win doubtless be here in the
course Of few weeks
Peter j. Ford and Joseph L. Carpenter,
Jr., will again meet in the arena and
Mr.. Ford will doubtless repeat his asser
tion that "a man may smile, and smile
and-you know the rest" In the mean
time the little stream on the western
side of Wilmington will gurgle its sad
refrain over the pebbles which cover Its
bottom:

No Increase of Salary.

The bill authorizing the coroner of
New Castle county to appoint his own
physician and raising the doctors salary
to $500 year received a blow in the
Senate to-day. The committee to which
it was referred reported adversely on
raising the physicians salary and reduced
the amount to $4O0. In this shape it
passed.
1t will now go to the House where another
fight awaits it. Representative Spruance
has a bill, on its way TO the Senate to
place the appointing power in the hands
of the Levy Court Commissioners. II
the two bills meet, it is likely that the
House bill will swallow the Senate bill,
body and breeches.
The First Divorce Bill.
Representative Kenney enjoys the dis
tinction of introducing the first divorce
bill of the session. 1t was presented this
afternoon. If passed, Annie c. Tyndall
