contending parties had been appointed |
the arbitrator TO hear and determine
their respective claims to the Pea Patch !
Island; aud In each case the party |
claiming title derived from the Duke Of
York was successful For many years
these ancient papers remained Ia the
charter room Of the Penn residence at
Stoke Pogis, England, until, In the
early part Of the present century. they
were presented by one Of the Penn heirs
TO J. R. Coates, OF Philadelphia. who
was the agent for the management OF

whose custody they continued until his
death, and are now believed to be In the
hands OF some representative Of the
Coates family.
1T wonld be gratifying to the natural
pride which every citizen feels In the
history of hls state, II these deeds which
form the opening pages OF that history,
could fnd their appropriate place In the
department OF state at Dover, and your
committee indulge the hope that this de-
sirable result may be, ct no very distant
DAY. accomplished.
sin concluding, your committee con
slider II proper to say that the controversy
between the state and Mr.. Rogers grew
out of o misdescript.on Of the deed
which was advertised for sale, and aleo
from a Misunderstanding OF the manner
In which he had acquired the same. and
we therefore recommend that the at

All sR Account of ssnator Fenimors's
Dlnner.
The delinquent law of Kent aud
Sussex counties never WAS so near being
wiped out as 1t was yesterday morning
The House passed bill repeating IL. 1t
WAS sent to the Senate and, upon it's
second reading. referred to the Commit
tee on Revised Statutes, consisting Of
lSpeaker Records and Msssrs Fenimore
aud Alricha, two Democrats and one
Republican. They could not agree upon
the bill The two Democrats naturally
held that the bul should be reported
unfavorably and the delinquent law
continued in full force and effect Ssna-
tor Alrichs could not see 1t that way. He
thought that ell that remaiAed OF the
"monstrosity Of 1873 should be wiped
from the statute books Under these
circumstances. the committee beirg
divided, II was decided to report the bill
without recommend .tion; but a time
was not set, and hence the trouble.
The Senate, Ia the absence OF Speaker
Watson, is a tie. In anticipation Of
going to Newark and in uncertainty a
so whether he would get anything to eai
there, Senator Fenimore, Democrat, wan
home 80 get his dinner before the senat'
adjourned. Bis action left the Republi

When Reading Clerk Springer was

and significantly and said:
