WHAT THE HIGGINS MEN SAID.
The Higgins men are saying that it has
been said that they will never leave lIig-
gins, and they claim that to.diy's lluotuat.
ing in the vote proves that they are ready
to leave him.
They assert that they want to elect a
Senator and that tuday's ballot is proof of
the truthfulness OF their assertion.
Is n A HIGGINS SCHEME?
The affair is regarded by the Addicks
people AS y Higgins bid for public SYM
pnthy. 1t is believed that the ruse was
huzaHrded 10 convey fake impression
that Higgins is willing to sacrifice himself,
even To d New Castle county man. or that
he is ready to withdraw in favor Of Sus-
sex cuantian.
The scheme was not concocted until this
morning. Senator Handy was the first
uerson outside of the higgins lines VINO
knew anything about it telegram re.
celved by Representative Jolis. which was
sent from Wilmington gave him his tip.
Representative Wilson was NOT given q
pointer until few minutes before voting
began.
Representative Ball introduced an act
relating TO the Wilmington City Railway
60. Section l says that the Use by said
company Of motive power different from
thnt authorized by us charter is such an
abuse or misuse of its franchises as to
legally justify this General Assembly,
tunder the reservation contained in the llth
section OF the aCt creating said corpora
tom to reverse the same and to terminate
all rights and privileges accruing there
under.
Section provides that SO much of sec.
ton of the act Of Incorporating us in
cludes the words, THE said corporation
shall have the exclusive right and privi-
lege of locating, constructing, operating
and maintaining city railway within the
city limits" is hereby repealed.
The rules were suspended and the bill
was given two readings.
Representative Mustard introduced an
act making betting on horse racing a mis-
demsanor, aud providing that person
convicted of bOokmaking shall pay u fine
not exceeding $50. 1t further provides
that a person arrested for book making
shall be tried before a justice of the peace
that there shall be no appeal from his
| decision, and that q person shall not be
convicted more than four times in any one
| year.
Representative Moore said the bill was
| preposterous and that instead of suppress
| ing pool'selling it would lesalize it in all
| its forms.
A motion to postpone indefinitely was
defeated. The measure will probably be
killed OIL second reading.
