1, 900 special 'constables who did duty In
Wilmington on the last election day.
Representative Dasey presided John
Dolan, Archibald Given, Receiver of
Taxes John T. Dickey and others made
statements concerning the necessity for
the constables and the advisability of
the state paying for them. The matter
was thoroughly discussed and a joint
resolution appropriating about $4,000 to
pay the men for services rendered will be
offered. Representative Spruance has
the resolution and II will probably be
offered to day. Just what its fate will
be at the hands of the rural members
is matter Of conjecture.
Objections Explained Away.
The House bill TO incorporate the VIII
mington and Industrial Improvement

his physicians orders, keeping her In
ignorance OF his condition until physi
clan was called in to attend her for the

nounced ip his opposition TO divorce
bills, said, just prior to the final
action:

on this bill; but If ! am forced to vote
shall vote for II. cannot cOnscientlously
vote against it. 1t is an outrageous
case
Senator Williams withdrew his call
for the ayes and nays, and the bill went

its passage through the Senate.
