DELAWARE AND MARYLAND GAME LAWS.
Gunners Note the Laws to Be at Great Var.
lance Between Two States.
DlingtOn Sun

Delawareans and visitors to the State
in cunning season, have difficulty to
keep track of the Delaware and Mary
land laws, and frequently get into
trouble before the Courts, because the
peninsula is favorite running ground
and yet the laws are at great variance.
On the Maryland side, it is unlawful
to sell rabbits, partridges and wood
cock for export out of the county.
Delaware provides that they cannot be
shipped out of the State. They can,
however, be sold to persons in the
State for their own consumption-by
gunners themselves. Others attempt
ing to sell them must take out a $500
license, making it thus prohibitory.
Squirrels can be hunted and shot from
September to November 80 in Mary
land, in Delaware at any season of the
year.
Rabbits and partridges can be shot
in the adjoining counties of Maryland,
from November Is to December %.
Delaware gives six more days to the
gunners, or until December 81. Pheas-
ants in both States can be shot from
November Is to December 25. COvies
are protected all the year round In
Delaware, but may be shot In Mary
land from August 10 to December %.
Quite the contrary are the two State
laws regarding plover and snipe. They
may be shot from August Is to April
80 in Maryland, but in Delaware, they
are unprotected.
Reed birds over on the Maryland
side can be shot from September to
October 81, but in Delaware they are
unprotected after August %, for the
reason that gunners have declared that
many of the birds left before Septem-
Der /. Wild geese, duck and swan are
unprotected in Delaware, but can only
be shot in Maryland from November 1
to April 10.

suits for the Republican WI

NEWARK AND ELKTON TROLLEY LINE.

A dispatch from Elkton, Md, says:
1.-The trolley line between Newark,
Del, aud Chesapeake City, via Elkton,
is now an assured fact. Judge Edwin
r. Cochran, Jr., of Wilmington, presi-
dent of the company, and Senator
Henry NJ. Mccullough of Elkton,
director, appeared before the County
Commissioners and deposited the sum
of 81, 500 in cash as a guarantee that
the road would be built and in run
ming order by October, 1903, work on
said line to commence within five
months from this date. The COM
missioners in consideration of this
gave the trolley company the exclusive
right of way from the Delaware State
line to Elkton and also the right of
way to Chesapeake City and Freder-
icktown, on the Sassafras River. The
road will be built by the Tennis Con-
struction Co., of Philadelphia, and

State Issues Reviewed By Byrne.
After discussing the general issues
of the campaign he predicted victory in
Delaware. He said:
What would happen IN the next Del
aware election, if the Regulars instead
of conspiring with the Democrats were
loyal to the Republican party?
% A Republican Congressman
would be elected by a handsome ma
jority.
(2) New Castle county would have
five Republican State Senators in the
next Delaware Legislature, and eleven
Representatives This would be hold
ing our own in the senatorial districts
as compared with the last election, and
besides holding our own representa-

one seat from the Democrats in the
Fourth Representative District, where
there is a majority of thirty-eight to
overcome.
90 Kent county would have three
Republican State Senators and six Re-
publican Representatives which would
be holding our own as compared with
the last election, and in addition there
to, would be gaining the First Sena-
torial District having a Democratic
majority of forty to overcome. and the
Second Representative District having
Democratic majority of six to over
come.
(4) Sussex county would have four
Republican State Senators aud six
Republican representatives which
would be holding our own as compared
with the last election and in addition
thereto would be gaining the Third
Senatorial district having Democrat
ic majority of twenty seven to over

having a Democratic majority o
twelve to overcome, the Fourth Rep
