TO Be MADE LIENS ON VESSELS.

Proposed Act TO Put business People in
Home Port on Same Footing With Those
Elsewhere.
Robert Pennington is sending to shin
builders and others interested in the
subject an act relating TO the attach
ment of vessels, which it is proposed to
submit to the Legislature. As the ad-
miralty law now stands, 1t operates
against shipbuilders and business men
in the town which is vessels home
port, because goods or'repairs furnished
by them are charged not against the
vessel but against the owners. In all
other ports, repairs and goods furnished
constitute lien against the vessel.
The consequence of this has been
that the business people in the vessels
home port are left when the vessel
gets into financial trouble for, as q
rule, little can be realized from the
owners. The purpose of the new bill il
to make goods and repairs furnished Ii
the home port lien on the vessel, just
rs they are now when furnished IL

Richard ID. Hynson. as attorney for
capitalists whose names are not made
public, appeared before the Board Of
County Commissioners at Chestertown,
Md. Thursday and asked the right to
build roadhed and establish an
electric railway along the public road
from Chestertown to Rock Hall and
Colchester. ltiwas thought best by the
board to have the request oemally pre-
eented in writing, which will be done
at the meeting OF the board next week.
1t is generally understood that the
application is made in the interest of
the Pennsylvania railroad, acting under
the charter granted several years ago
to the Kent County Electric Railway
90. The proposed route includes a
road from Chestertown to Fairlee.
thence by way OF st. Paul's Church to
Rock Hall. from there by way of the
bay road to COLCHESTER, thence to No
CLAIMS corner, intersecting with the
Fairlee road. This movement gives
rise to the rumor and hore that it is
the intention of the Pennsylvania COM
pany to run two daily trains over the
Baltimore a Delaware Bay road to Ches-
tartown, connecting with Rock Hall
and Colchester by trolley.

MORE MONEY FOR THE CITY.

Councilman OberIy Presents Bill Con-
corning Liquor Licenses.
At the meeting Of City Council
Thursday Mr.. Oberly received the en-
dorsement OF the body of a bill provid-
ing that incorporat cities and towns
in the State shall receive two-thirds
and the State one thirdeof the money
received from licenses granted for the
sale Of intoxicating liquors in such
cities and towns. The bill is to be
sent to the Legislature with the request
that it be passed.
At present the State receives all of
the proceeds Of such licenses. The
passage Of such law would, of course,
be beneficial from financial stand
point to every incorporated city and
town. Wilmington would receive about
$50, 900 annually, which would be
q great relief to real estate.
License fees at present are $500 each
in cities having over 10, 900 inhabitants
and 5000 10 all other cases.
Mr.. Oberly stated that he was also
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of having
bill prepared requiring fire insurance
companies contribute to the support 81

This advertisement in last Sundays
Inquirer has already ended the 20-year
separation of no .ther aud son, and has,
as IL by magic, brought them together
and after mutual despairing search OF
10 long years. II is strange tale, this
story OF boys long and weary hunt
for lis mother, and OF her seeking and
waiting for the son that she almost de-
SPARED OF ever seeing again. At the
age OF young Alcorn was placed In
the care Of the Home Missionary
Society Of Philadelphia, but his mother,
owing to the destitute circumstances
| that followed her husbands death, was
| unable to keep the child. The society,
when he was hut a little chap, turned
him over to Mrs. Mary Allatt of the
Falls Of Schuylkill. He was subse-
| quently returned, and given BIS the So
oiety into the care of Edward Cahall, a
| Maryland farmer; Levi Giossoup OF
Hancock's Bridge, N. j.; George
Davidson of Vineland, N. j., and again
to Mr.. Grossoup.
As young Aloorn grew into manhood q
estate the one burning desire OF his life
| was TO find his mother enjoy O
mother % love and to provide for her in
her old days He employed almost
every possible method of locating her,
but all failed. From place to place be
wandered, following will-o'-wisps that
always ended in bitter disappointment.
At last he came to- Bloomsbury as the
result Of an advertisement which ht
placed in a paper. His mother, he
thought, had worked here at one time
whvn he came it was only to learn tina
Molly Alcorn of bloomsbury, was no
his long longed for parent. He is nov
"a years OF age and has been making
his home while here with f. M. Gil

ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE.
1t Shows That Certain Republicans VIII
Fight Addicks to the Bitter End.

Fight AdhickB to the Bitter End.
Dover, Jan. 10.--An analysis of the vote
by which the House spurned the Learned.
Scotch contest Is decidedly interesting. II
shows that John Edward Addicks' hope OF
being elected a United States Senator is to
be shattered or deferred-shattered by
combination of Democrats and Regular
Republicans on two Senatorial candidates
acceptable TO them, or deferred by dead
lock.
The attempt to Gust Representative Scot
ten and seat Mr. Learned was desperate
fight to obtain another vote for Mr.. Ad-
dicks. In the struggle, faotional lines were
tightly drawn, SO tightly that it can readily
be seen which Representatives will continue
TO vote for him If his slogan is to be "Ad-
dicks or nobody" and which will reinforce
him In decker with Anthony Higgins or
William s. Hilles.
The sincerity of the alleged declaration of
Representatives CLARK, Hodgson and Pilling
to fight Mr.. Addicks to the bitter end was
put to severe test, but il stood the ordeal,
Judging from their manner of voting yes
terday, Representatives Dayett and Finn
are anti-Addicks Republicans. Representa-
tive Chandler has been claimed as such, but
this now seems to be Improbable.
The vote on the Learned-Scotten fiasco
indicates that Representatives Kitchen and
Robertson have entered the Addicks camp,
and 1t is believed that Representative Bay
nard is with them. The discontnuance 81
the contest did not create more surprise
than Representative Prettyman's manner o.
voting. An. ACKNOWLEDGED, Union Republi
can, he voted for the retention OF Represen
tatiye Scotch, thereby refusing to Strengthen
Mr.. Addicks. As yet, his action has moi
been satisfactorily explained.
The Addicks column evidently includes
Representatives Aron, Baynard, Clendaniel
Ewing, Kitchen, Hope, Layton, Long
Moore, Prettyman, Robertson, Short ant
White and Speaker McCommons, and posi-
bly, Representative Chandler. Fears tina
Representatives Clark, Dayett, Finn, Hodg
son and Pilling would surrender to Mr.. Ad
dicks have been dispelled.
The result of the Ross McNulty contes
will show the iactional complexion of tn
Senate. This contest has been referred b
committee composed of two Regular Re
publicans, one Onion Republican and tw
Democrats!
