DOVER. May D. The General Assembly
held three sessions yesterday. and when
i; knocked oil from its labors at 10 10
last night IL had utterly exhausted
itself. All day long every person con
nected with it, from the speakers to the
pages, was on dead strain, and large
mass of business was disposed of during
the day
Everything wore the aspect Of next to
the last day Of the session. The clerks
had extra help; the enrolment commit
tees were overworked; members could be
seen searching their records and desks
for unfinished business: committees met
in different parts of the chambers
instead of retiring TO their rooms; bills
were read aud referred aud passed under
| suspension of rules, and there was
constant exchange Of intercourse
between the Houses Even the mem
bers were pressed into service in carry

other. Senator Pilling and Representa-
tive Watkins carried of the laurels in
this respect, they being received with
rounds of applause.
Both Houses held night sittings the
first of the session A great deal of
work was disposed OF and adjournment
made until Q clock this morning, when
the rush will recommence. The pros
pect is that the gavels will not drop to
the announcement Of adjournment sine
die until o'clock The members living
up the road will leave here with their
goods and chattels at 3 "a O'Clock those
going south will take tine 4l9 or g

The Gam Game bill passed the Senate
yesterday morning with Senate amend
ments which prohibit the issuing OF

game laws shall be tried before a resident
. justice of the peace Of the county il

Court of the county.
AS the bill is amended its general pro
visions are as follows Partridge shoot
! ing is prohibited until November 10, 1894
! | This was done to allow the birds surviv
. ing the late hard winter to multiply.
It opens the cunning season on Novem
Der aud closes it on January ], follow
ing. 1t prohibits the shooting of duck
on the marshes Of the state from on
hour after sundown 20 one hour afte
=. sunrise.
The House may not concur in tn
. amendment opening the season on No
vember /, as the farmers say they can
not keep their bands at work after tn
cunning season opens, and at that time /
November they are right in the midst o
!, the work Of saving the corn crop.
