A MYsTERTous TIDAL WAVE.

A tidal phenomenon occurred in thl

watermen can give no explanation
The young food rushed up the rive
like a tidal wave or bore, with nj
easterly storm outside to account fC'
its tremendous energy. A fisherma'
who hauled his nets before the ebb wa
spent was astonished, fifteen minute
,ater, to see his stakes swaying vic
lently from side to side under the in
fluence of the food. The fish cam
in great masses, borne along helpless
ly by the rushing tide and filled tn
nets, and burst them or carried thel
away. Experienced men, who divine
a big catch OF smelts as result of th
strong tidal current, hauled their net
up in, a few minutes after setting then
but few were so canny as this. Net
were split, torn, and in some case
carried away by the weight Of fish, an
some of the stakes were lifted out {
the mud, dragged under the ice an
carried off, nets and all. The tremeI
dous tidal energy did not last Ion
enough to make it an exceptional
high tide, which adds to the mysteI
of the phenomenon. Some few fishe
men made enormous catches, but

WOULDN'T CONFIRM TAMMANY.
ONLY RECEIVED TWO VOTES IN
THE SENATE-OTHER LEGISLA-
TIVE PROCEEDINGS.

Dover, Feb. 17.-In the Legislature
yesterday the Senate passed the House
bills to change the name of Ida M.
Holston to Ida NJ. Chamberlin; to
regulate the business of pawn-brokers
and junk dealers in New Castle
county and to conform the offices of
notaries public and commissioners of
deeds to the new Constitution.
The House passed several bills to
conform the office Of the governor to
the new Constitution. The salary was
fixed at $4,000 a year, the same as for
merly prevailed. A delegation COM
posed of Charles Baird, William Tur-
ner and l.. b. Morrow, Of the Whining
ton Board of Education, were here and
held a consultation with the Commit
tee on Education and Henry Ridgely
Jr., its attorney, in reference to the
new school bill, which must be drawn
under the new Constitution. The plan
Of the Wilmington men was to allow
81 for each day taught by each teacher
in each school district. This would
increase the total appropriation for
schools from 500, 600 to about $135, 600.
No decision was reached
At 4 o'clock the Senate went into
executive session to consider the ap-
pointment of Roman Tammany to be
superintendent of the Sussex county
schools, whose appointment was op-
posed by Senator w. T. Moore on the
ground that he was not acceptable to
the people Of Sussex county. The Sen
ate refused to confirm the appointment
and he only received two votes, the
other senators refusing to vote.
In the afternoon in the Senate, the
House bill providing penalties for
those who fail to comply with the
| Adams tax law, which taxes all inter
est bearing investments was lost. The
vote was ayes, 2 nays and not vot-
ing. The law is now as imperative as

Il must not be lost sight of that the
sole reason OF the State Senate for re
fusing TO confirm the appointment OF
Roman Tammany as superintendent
OF the free schools Of Sussex county
is that the governor appointed him in
preference TO w. w. Knowles, "a son-in-
law Of State Senator William T.
Moore. The Senate's action merely be-
speaks personal resentment, and in no
wise affects the fitness OF Mr.. Tam
aapy or the wisdom Of the governor

OF the Senate to pass upon the charac.
ter and fitness Of the men whom h,
