NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
FLOOD OF ELECTRICITY "a JAIL
COMMISSIONERS. HOWEVER, ARE
NOT QUITE SATISFIED WITH
THE ARC LIGHTS INSIDE.


The county jairs new electric
lights furnished by the Wilmington
and New Castle Electric Railway
Company were turned on In full blast
Saturday and the old prison looked very
much changed under a food of cleo
trio illumination. Sheriff Finn. who
has Leen cOntending for more light
ever since he assumed the rcsponsi-
bility OF the custody of 200 shrcwd
prisoners OF law. stood in the Second
street door Of his residence and
under the blazing arc light above
the sheriff's smile could be seen near
ly a square away. The new arc lights
outside make escape at nigh, almost
impossible.
Jail Commissioner James White was
not at all satisfied with the light i'm
side the jail when he inspected the new
electric service. "The arc lights in
side the corridor" ne said, "are only
about 1920 candle power. where they
ought to be 1000 or the same as out
side There couldn't be a better arc
light than those outside. but those two
lamps of small candle power are not
what we expected"
Jail Commissioner Padborg was also
disappointed in the inside light. MS The

descent lights. he said, were all thai
could be desired, although they were
nothing like the old Welsbachs insid,

The bill has now been ordered printed,
and we presume will be sent broad
cast throughout the state that the peo-
pie may know just what their repre-
sentatives are voting on.
AS was stated by Mr.. Dempsey in his
speech the other day, there has never
been a greater public interest in any
measure pending before our General
Assembly. People by the thousand
have petitioned the Legislature to do
just what they are refusing to do. VIII
they obey the people, or will they obey
the lobby?
If we are credibly informed, many of
the neighbors and personal friends of
the members have been importuning
the members to vote for this measure,
and we are at loss to comprehend
why the members cannot appreciate the
situation The whole thing comes
within very narrow compass; the
railroad companies have determined
that no other company shall invade
the territory which the Lord made and
dedicated to their especial use. VIZ

FISHERMEN ON A STRIKE.
BANDED THEMSELVES TOGETHER
IN SECRET MEETING.

REFUSED TO SELL ANY MORE
FISH TO LOCAL AGENTS EXCEPT
ONE THEY DESIGNATE.
For a long time there has been
growing dissatisfaction among the To-
cal fishermen on account of what they
claimed was their inability to receive
what. they think a just payment for
their fish. The trouble eliminated
yesterday afternoon when all the men
met in the City Hall to perfect an or
ganization for mutual protection
A reporter tried to gain admission
thereto, but for various reasons the
men preferred sitting in executive ses-
sion. After the meeting, however, one
of the head members gave the follow
ing information: I'VE have formed the
Fishermen's Protective Association,
and have authorized John A. Walls to
act as our sole agent for the disposition
of the fish
I'VE have adopted a set OF regula-
tions governing the disposal of our
fish, in which the agent is to receive
1 cent for every and all shad sold. He
will have all the bills, tabulations
kilograms and records of sales open tC
the auditing committee at any time
but the committee will also audit tbs
accounts weekly. No retail sales shall
be made. BY these means we propose
to find wherein lays the fault. W.
will sell to no others than our agent
no matter if all others pay double
The proceeds shall be pooled and 9
proportionate weekly allotments made
to each and every fisherman"
OF course this will mean war to the
knife between j. II. King, the present
agent. and j. A. Walls. the new incum'
bent Just how events will materializC

SUSSEX WANTS THE RAILWAY.

seems easy. We feel safe in
saving that 80 per cent. of the peo-
pie of Sussex and Kent counties want
this bill made law. We also feel safe
in saving that an overwhelming ma
iority of the people of New Castle

farmers of the state are unanimous for

INCONSISTENT LEGISLATORS.

INOONSlSl EN- l4ENAoi13A OAeN''
We nrint the text of section l of the
amendment to the Wilmington and
New Castle electric railway charter,
showing the extensions the company
is asking for. 1t will be curious to see
what position the opposition will take
now. All of the members Of the Legis-
lature who openly opposed the pend
ing bill stated publicly on the floor Of
the House that they did so because the
New Castle company wanted privileges
that were entirely too broad, so far as
the city of Wilmington was concerned,
and that they would gladly vote for the
bill If it would confine itself to one line
in passing through the city. The
friends of the measure accepted their
proposition, and offered an amendment
conhning the road to one line in pass
ing through the city, but when the
amendment was voted on the same
members who had advanced the propo-
sition voted against the amendment.
The point was raised that the COM
pany would never build south from
New Castle, but only north through
Wilmington. The friends of the meas
ure at once prepared an amendment.
stating that the New Castle road should
build a mile south of New Castle for
every mile built north of the Christi
ana river, but when the vote came on
the amendment the opposition ran like
deers from the position they had taken.
What does all this mean? When the
members are given credit for an honest
opposition. and the company comes
forward TO meet them on their own
ground, they at once recede from it.
