Mr.. Trigg. that the Trigg Company lis
progressive and thoroughly up to date,

turned out at these yards that such must
be the case But what I have seen has
far surpassed my expectations. You have

IN THE BEST HANDS.
Mr. Holland took occasion to state that
he was much gratified with the progress
already made on the Plunger- He said
that he was confident that "the work of
making the boat capable of filling all re-
uuirements was in goods hands, and that
he was sure the best results would be
obtained after the remodelling OF the
vessel and the installation OF new and
improved machinery in her was COM
pleted."
Mr.. Holland returned to Washington

by Jos. NJ. Rodosewsky, Of Baltimore,
with having bigamously married Ike
Mirvis, a Norfolk Grocer after having
previously married him in Russia.
Defendants attorney Morris held that

husband Of accused might5not lawfully
testify against her and was sustained by
the court, although Attorney Wassager
of Baltimore, for plaintiff cited "4ock-

The trial was adjourned, but as

was arrest ted on the charge of having

FISH MARKET WAS POOR
Warm Weather Compelled Dealers to
Refuse The Shad
Special to The evening journal,

New Castle, May 16.-Two days OF
unusually warm May weather has put
a damper on the fish market, and as a
consequence, there were more shad on
the wharf at z o'clock last night than
there has been since the season opened
six weeks ago.
The days catch amounted to about
5000 fish, but not one-half of this
amount was shipped to New York, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore buyers. Early
in the morning they wired TO their
agents here that the mercury in those
cities was not conducive to flsh preser-
walton for any great length OF time,
and the market would therefore be duh
until such time as Old Soils rays are
chilled by the thunder storms now
forming in the West. Fishermen. there
fore, expect good prices for their pro-
duoe tomorrow. To-day they were
compelled TO take almost nothing, shad
selling for as low as 81 per hundred.
While few shad were shipped from
this place, those that remained did not
go TO waste They We're salted for
Winter use. and when they are sold It
will be at better prices than the fresh
fish now demand.

ment: Il reckon the trick won't
work"
Senator McComas. q Republican
member OF the committee. said: THE
case will depend upon the fate OF the
pending resolution reported by the
committee on privileges and elections
IN the Clark case. If that resolution
should be passed II would be a judg-
ment of the senate to the effect that
the seat was vacant from the begin
ming of the term and we should then
have in the Clark case substantially
a repetition Of the Quay case. II the
resolution should not pass then the
appointment of Mr. Clark would be
the filling of a vacancy occasioned by
his resignation. and would be quite
the ordinary case OF filling a vacancy
by executive appointment"
Senator Caffrey, a Democratic mem
Der of the committee. said: IF the
senate finds that Mr.. Clarks election
was void by reason Of the corrupt use
OF money this finding will be equiva-
lent to saying that the vacancy was
never filled, and according to the pre-
ce1ents Of the senate the vacancy can
not be filed by executive appoint
ment."
Senator Frye. president pro TEN. OF
tho senate, said that under the present
conditions a vacancy existed He had
ordered Mr. Clark's name stricken
from the roll on the statement that he
had resigned. II Senator Clark pre-
Eented credentials in due form he
would be sworn in unless objection
was made. Mr.. Frye was OF the opin-
ion that the question of right to the
seat would be determined afterwards.
Senator Allison said: II the ap.
polntment is made under the statutes
OF Montana don't think IL can be
undone by the governor upon his re-
turn to Montana. l do not believe
that the fact that the resignation is
rendered pending an investigation can
have any effect. m the Caldwell case
indeed, no further proceedings were
taken after Mr.. Caldwell rendered his
resignation"
Senator Butler said: 81 don't think
that the senate can refuse to seat Mr..
Clark. The elimination Of his name
rrom the roll call was sufficient recog-
milton Of the vacancy TO commit the
senate to IT,"
