WORK FOR THE
LEGISLATURE.
Probability That City Win
Have Paid Fire De-
partment.

It's suggested that bills for presen.
tation to the coming session OF the
Legislature be prepared in advance.
50 that they may be presented us
early in the session as possible. The
earlier bill is presented the more
chance it will have Of being c9nsid-
cred and acted upon.
1t is not known as yet, except in a
general way, what legislation the
various city departments will ask.
City Council will ask for new city
charter, and may also request per-
mission to borrow money with which
to purchase site and erect new
city hall.
Thomas NJ. Monaghan, who is a
member of the City Council and the
General Assembly also, will look into
the city's interest in the latter body.
Dr. buckmaster who is a member Of
the Board Of Education and also of
the Legislature, will look after the
Boards interests, and probably will
present bill providing Tor addition
state school fund.
The local fire companies will also
have some bills to present. 1t is
expected that an effort will be made
to have the Legislature pass a law
to provide for rotation of officers
among the different companies, and
this will be fought by the combina-
ton men. This fight was before the
last General Assembly but was
withdrawn. Those interested do
not know what shape it will take
this time, but there is every reason
to believe that the fight will be re-
newed. In addition to this the
Brandywine, Rescue and Indepen-
dence Fire Companies Of the Ninth
ward and the Union Company of
the Twelfth ward will ask the
Legislature to pass laws emitting
them to appropriations from the
city. ,ity Council has already
promised the Brandywine and
Union companies that it will join
with them in asking consideration
from the Legislature.
lLiS expected that the Indcpen.
dence Company will also receive rec
ognitIon, but Is likely that the
Rescue Company will be left out in
the cold, as there appears to be but
ll!tie chance for tha: company VIXEN
the Brandywine and Independence
both stand good Glance of recog-
milton.
1t is asserted by local tiremen
that bill Las been prepared looking
TO the establishment off paid fire de.
parLment here. and that the bill Is
now in the hands Of one Of the AS
sembty ymen, presumably Mr. Mona.

THERE'S A BREATH OF
SUMNER IN THE AIR.

A temperature that was almost
as warm as many days of the past
summer made to-day very peculiar
day for the season. After Tues
days clouliuess, which was rerarl-
ell us sure forerunner OF rain and
in spite of the weather mans pre- :
diction to that effect, after a few
hours of cloudiness yesterday it
cleared off. The sun came out good
and strong and the mercury went
up rapidly. Similar conditions pre-
vail to-day.
At : o'clock the temperature was
50 degrees, one hour later it had
gone up seven degrees, at noon it
registered 70.
The humidity, which in the morn
ing was oppressive, dropped at noon
to normal, making the weather de-
cidely pleasant, even if little un.

Numerous Fishermen Are Making Ricl,
Hauis in Nearby Streams.
Carp fishing has become an in
dustry Of this city. The streams in
the neighborhood are crowded with
fishermen who come from points up
the Delaware river and also from
Rehoboth and other fishing stations
down the State. The carp are run
ming in big schools and are selling
for $s hundred pounds. Some
fishermen are making large catches
and getting as high as Is to 20 dol
lars day for their labor. Many
men who own boats and nets are
out on the flood tides after the
coveted fishes
The Jews are about the only peo-
pie who eat the carp and they are
always anxious to buy all they can
find. 1t is not generally known
that Wilmington is the first place
that the German carp were propo-
gated. The first We're brought from
Germany some years ago and plac
ed in an old pond which lies back of
the Arctic Ice House inISouth Will
mington. There the fish generated
and finally spread to the streams in
the neighborhood. They come to
this section in big schools every
three years. and afford the fisher
men a big industry.

able Citizens.
While there has not been mucI
said publicly about the matter,
hotel keepers 10 Sussex County are
much worried over the prospect oI
having their licenses contested
when they next apply. Some Prohi,
bltlonlsts are closely watching the
names upon the lists of signers for
liquor licenses and unless :he hotel
Keeper goes before the court with
gilt edge list he will be doomed.
TIE trouble all came about in this
way: Sometime ago man applied
for license in Sussex County. His
application was signed by the re-
quired number of persons who the
law says shall be respectable
citizens of the district for which
application is made. Those who
opposed the license raised the point
that three of the twelve men who
had signed the application were
men who had sold their votes The
court decided that these men We're
not respectable citizens' and the
application was lost.
