YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE.

Done in the Upper House.

The Senate settled down to work yes

Wilmington, having given due notice
during Fridays proceedings, moved to
reconsider the vote whereby S. B. 443,
by Denison, relating to the organiza-
tion, incorporation and government of
municipal corporations, was refused
passage. The vote on the bill at the
session named had been 20 to g. ana
1t would undoubtedly have carried had
there been a full house. The motion to
reconsider was carried by a vote OF

A Machine to 1agnify Odors.

A machine which will magnify odors,
just as a microphone does sound, is
said TO have been invented by a Bing-
hamton, n. Y, genius. The story is
rather Munchausenish; but if it be
true the inveRt-f has evidently made a
mistake. What the general public
wants is a machine that VIII seize an
able bodied smell, like that of Linn
burger cheese, and instantly reduce it
to zero. Perhaps the Binghamton
mans device will do this already if it
be run backward. Why not try the ex-
perineut?

a solution of the situation seems yet
on the boards. The daily squabble in
the Assembly occurs with unfailing and
unpleasing regularity and was prompt
ly on hand yesterday morning. The
recOnsiderat ton of the vote by which
the Governors veto was sustained was
declared out of order by the Speaker,
which disposes finally of that element
of disag greement
Dibble prevailed with the caucus on
Friday evening to sanction his plan for
two bills which together should aggre-
gate the $4,000, and introduced them
yesterday morning, though it went
against the grain with good many
of the majority. They were read first
time and made a special order for Tues
day.
Then Shanahan followed Dibble's
lead, introducing $4,000 appropria-
ton for printing, and tried to get the
courtesy of a suspension of rules ac-
corded him, but failed.
Once more he tried, offering a resolu-
ton to make his bill matter of ur-
gency and a special order for Monday,
which would have given it precedence
over Dibble's bills. But his motion
was laid on the table, and his bill will
take its course.
THIS MAKES FOUR BILLS.
Next Sanford tried to get his ten-day-
old $4,000 printing bill out of the
Ways and Means hospital, but only
succeeded in getting it ordered to ten
days further treatment by Guy, M. D.
However, as it now stands, the House
has plethora of printing bills-no less
than four-enough to tie it up the rest
of the session.
Meantime Caminetti instituted an in
quiry, by means of a resolution, into
the reported discharge of twenty-four
men and four women from the State
Printing Office, who, it is said, were
appointees of Democratic members.
VOTING MACHINES SIDETRACKED
The Senate and House Committees
on Election Laws are disposed to side
track the several bills for voting or
balloting machines, and will probably
recommend as a substitute the appoint
ing Of a commission Of three, one by
the Senate, one by the House and one
by the Governor, to exist for two years,
during which time they shall examine
into the merits of all machines offered
and report to the thirty-thir session Of

The boots are made entirely

not be made. Thirteen different

goatskin, being soft and pliable.
Patent calf was used in making

white oak tan leather and are
sewed on with linen thread by

The legs are sewed with black
silk. The lining is white kid,
as soft as velvet. The height of
the boots is fifteen inches and the
size seven and a half.

There is a general feeling that
expenses must be kept down
during hard times, and the ap-
preparation bill is now receiving
great deal of attention. 1t
looks now as though the bill will
carry 5000 or $4,000 more
than the appropriation bill of
two years ago, but from $4,000
to 100000 less than the bill of
four years ago, comparing the
same items in the two bills. The
committee is determined to keep
the appropriations down to the
lowest sum consistent with the
welfare of the State. Some of
the institutions must have more
room and this means new build
ings to old ones. The State has
grown rapidly during the last
5 years and it seems impossible
to get along on the old basis of
appropriations. All our schools

The Clarksburg charter is still
hung up in the House. The
measure seems to be more popu-

opposition is not so energetic as
it formerly was. The fact that
