MR.. MCOY'S GUESTS.
Representative William B. Mccoy last
night gave a reception at the Atlantic
House, New Castle, to his colleagues in
the Delaware Legislature, together with
some of the lobby and the members Of
the New Castle county Levy Court
The statesman arrived at 6.44 and
proceeded to the county Jail, where
they inspected the new lights and re-
plenished their store OF information
concerning a county work-hOuse. They
saw the 160 men lying around in idle
ness. some Of them being such confirm
ed idlers that they continue to offend
the peace and dignity of the state TO
get back in Jail. They also saw the lit
tie cells which contain four and five
men, and the young offenders mixed
up with old stagers.
The legislators we're treated to a fine
entertainment at the Atlantic House,
but met with a severe disappointment
at midnight, when the "owl" train over
the Delaware road whizzed by and left
them standing on the platform, the re-
suit Of a Misunderstanding. Conductor
Fagan's trolley car was held for the
legislators, and they proceeded to Will
mington to rest up and take the 8.la
train down the Delaware read this
morning. Some of the visitors got on
high horse about missing the
midnight" and made some ill-timed
threats.
