side of the chamber Speaker McMullen

chair and speak and vote against it as q
measure which would teud to deplete the
school fund and cripple the efficiency
of the public school system Represents

but has given notice of acts tending
to give Delaware high license.

Republican lower House.

Addicks and his friends that q

at 5 16 sharp and have the right
of way up the Delaware road They
packed up their effects, took their grips
in hand and made rush for the station.
When they arrived there the station
agent politely informed them that there
would be no train that day, and, In all
probability not before Monday afternoon.
They left, breathing vengeance against
the general.
