At the conclusion OF the reading, Rep
resentativc Dempsey made motion that
a committee OF three be appointed to
wait upon the Senate to confer with
them upon plan to secure counsel for
both houses.
lie proceeded to explain his object in
go moving but was interrupted by Repre-
sentative Wilson, who stated that he
was out OF order as a motion was not de-
batable. The discussion became general.
Representative Cheairs rose and stated
that as the Senate already had submitted
Joint resolution which had been laid
upon the table, it would be somewhat
queer to ignore that resolution. Repre-
sentative Donaldson moved that Mr..
Dempsey's motion be laid upon the
table, which was carried.
He then moved that his resolution
which was presented yesterday and
which was laid upon the table be called
up. This was done and for some time it
was discussed very freely but was finally
discarded.
At this point the Senator presented a
joint resolution to repeal Chapter 653,
Volume 70 of the Laws of Delaware
which provided that no new business
should be brought before the adjourned

sambling. The resolution was passed.
This disposed OF the joint resolution
presented by the Senate. 1t was called
up and passed with an amendment max
ing the House portion OF the joint COM
mittce three instead OF two members.
The House then named Representa-
tives Dempsey, l.. 5 hopkins and john
son as their members Of the committee.
A recess was then taken until 3
O'Clock.
In the Senate, the morning session,
after the usual preliminares was spent
mainly in discussing the joint resolution
in regard to the employment of counsel.
Senator Pyle offered the joint reson-
ton to repeal the law passed April 10,
1897, in regard to excluding new busi-
ness for the balance of the session. This
was sent to the House and returned by
concurrence.
The House rcasscmbcd ;u 3 p. m. The
report of Fruit Inspector Bancroft on
the San jose scale was read and approved.
The committee of three to act with the
committee of two from the Senate in JOINT

sci submitted their report, which was
read. The report named cX-Judgc
Charles NJ Cullen and Charles F. Rich
ards of Sussex, John B. Pennington Of
Kent, Col. Benjamin Ncilds and William
r. Neids Of New Castle. Exception was
taken to Mr.. Richards, and the rest Of
the afternoon was spent in discussion,
which was ended by the striking out, on
motion OF Representative Hazel, OF the
| name ui Charles f. Richards
Tie report as amended was adopted
and Submitted to the senate for concur
renee.
In the Senate which reasscnblcd at
B - p. H., Senator Fcnnmorc presented
the report OF the committee app ,inted to
act in joint conference with the commit
tee from the House on the subject Of Sc
curing counsel.
Senator Pyle objected to the name OF
Charles f. Richards. Mr.. Ilanhy moved
that further consideration OF the matter
be postponed until tomorrow, but the
motion was withdrawn. Mr.. Meredith
moved the name of Mr.. NicIds bc strick
en- off and Mr. Richards name be re-
taincd.
The discussion continued until nearly
) o'clock when the report was adopted
as submitted.
Both houses then adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The prospect for adjournment is very
slim and when this matter is satsfactor-
lily settled it is thought that the b,si.
ness Of the session will be rapidly dis
posed Of.
An INCIDENT of THE DAY.
Thomas G. Fraim, Jr., young lawyer
who practices here. committed u grave
breach Of rules this afternoon in the
House.
He was in the lobby and for some
reason best known to himself, he saw fit
to jump over the railing separating the
lobby from the House floor
His action was noticed by Representa-
tive HAZEL, who called the attention Of
Speaker Riggin to the matter and sug-
gcsted the Sergeant alarms be instructed
to arrest the next offender.
Some one told young Fraim and he
sought out Mr.. HAZEL and demanded his
reasons for his action. The Representa-
tive from Duck Creek hundred was not
at all backward in giving them and Mr..
Fraim will probably remember them for
some time to come. SHILLING.
Donnell as Delegate.

the Fourth Ward Democrats was held
