day or two before the Senatorial
caucus at Dover two Wilmington attor-
neys In discussing the situation spoke
of nice plum of sl0 600 which the
man seated as Senator from Delaware
would receive. One OF the attorneys
went so far as to say that be would
like to be Senator just for a day. He
would make solemn covenant, he SAID,
not to Introduce any bills, or vote on
any measure; but would simply draw
bis salary and resign. by his salary he
meant the plum of $40. 900. alleged to
be waiting for the junior Senator from
Delaware to pluck. This nice SUN
STOOD for the two years salary at So, 600
year, which has not been drawn
because Delaware has had no junior
Senator to draw it.
The statement that the man who
was seated would get the money has
been discussed, both in this city and in
Dover, II was held in opposition to it
that IT would be very strange for the
Senator to draw money for time which
he bad not served. There seemed to be
no positive knowledge ON the subject.
Even Gen. kenney, since his election

Tor the first part of the term, stated that

The junior Senator from Delaware
will have 10 content himself, however,
with his salary for that portion OF the
term which follows his election.
This statement is based upon letter
received at this Office Friday from

departments, in which he says:
III reply to your request for in
formation under date goth inst, beg
leave to inform you that the Senator
from Delaware elected to fill the
vacancy in the Senate will receive
salary from the date of his election
and not from the beginning of the
term. The law regulating the matter
was passed July 3lst, 1894, and will he
found in eSth Statutes, page 1872. 1t
provides That the salaries of Senators
elected or appointed to fill vacancies in
the Senate and of Senators elected for

COUNTERFEIT MILE GAGE
TICKETS.

Recently there appeared in Pitts
burg, man giving the name of R. c.
Lucas, accompanied by woman call
ing herself May Anderson, who at
tempted to dispose Of counterfeit B.
and o. Mileage Books. They did sue
ceed in selling some of the books, and
then departed for Cleveland, where
they registered at the American House
as K. c. Lucas and wife.
In their efforts to dispose of the spu-
rious tickets, they aroused suspicious,
which were at once communicated to
the B. & 0. Agent, who Immediately
took such action as led to the arrest
and conviction of the woman, who was
found guilty of selling counterfeit tick
cts, and sentenced to six months in
the work house, and to pay fine of
$500 and costs.
The man succeeded in making his
escape, but as he is known to the rail-
road people and the police, his arrest
IS only question of time.
The B. & o. officials have taken
every precaution to prevent the sale
or use of these spurious tickets, and
have expressed a determination to
prosecute to the fullest extent of the
law anyone caught attempting to use
counterfeit mileage or other bogus
form of transportation, and will be es-
pecially vigorous against brokers
found offering them for sale.
