rs LEGISLATURE
A LEGAL BODY?
Capital Cores p 3ndence to the Pioneer.,

Capital Corresp 1ndence to the Pioneer.)
Trenton, Feb. 81. Many OF the i'm
portant interests seeking legislation
this winter have instructed their law
yers to learn whether the failure OF a
special Assembly election in Sussex
county will vitiate all legislation of
the session. The legislation is OF a
character unprecedented in the history
of the State. It has been caused by
the death of one of the Assemblymen-
elect in Union and Sussex counties.
The Attorney General advised the
House that, as the Constitution directs
that the House of Assembly shall con-
sist OF sixty members, smaller AS
sembly than sixty members could not
be constitutional body. The House
held back the final passage of bills
until the special elections could, be
held
In Union county the poll was taken
and Republican was elected without
opposltion-every vote cast for him
cost the county over Stand he is
known as the "costliest member
Sussex county has no money in her
treasury, and is in bad financial shape,
and her taxpayers protest against the
expenses. The two parties made nom.
nations, "but both candidates, under
pressure of public sentiment, filed de-
n N of
timed SO as to leave no time under law
forsmaking OF other nominations. The
election officers were directed not to
meet, because there was no one to vote
for, and no vote was taken anywhere
in the county. One man in Vantage
was prepared to elect himself by his
own unopposed ballot, but there was
no polling place where he could cast
it.
The failure to bring the House men,
bership up to the constitutional limit
OF sixty may. it is feared, defeat all
the legislation of the session, and the
question is undergoing investigation
in the law departments of many large
corporations that want 'a liable, act''
passed. The House officers talk OF ar
raigning the Sussex County Board and
those concerned in defeating the poll
at the House bar for contempt There
is talk, too, of movement to indict
them all for conspiracy to defeat an
election. The Sussex Freeholders have
appointed special committee to keep
an eye on bills affecting the county.

Donaghay Brothers AdiGdged
BankruptS.

Great regret will be expressed to
learn that the firm of Donaghay
Brothers, grocers and butchers, was
Monday morning adjudged voluntary
bankrupts. The application in the
United States District Court was made
this morning by Joseph H. Powell, the
we'll known lawyer. and the order was
signed just before noon.
The unfortunate affair comes as a
great surprise to the community. The
firm has had difficulties that are un-
known to the public, aud it was well
known that the concern was doing a
good business.

ADDICKS TRAPPED.

After discovering that he had been led
into trap, J. Edward Addicks yester-
day afternoon voluntarily eliminated
himself from the union republican State
organization of Delaware, the creation of
which has cost him hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
The State committee, of which Senator
J. Frank Alec is chairman, met at Dover
to appoint committee to confer with
the regular republicans Oh the proposed
amalgsmation of the republican party.
To the dismay of Alice, who thought
he controlled the committee by a large
majority, Addicks had cOralled nine
members, against nine controlled by AL
lee.
A stormy session followed over the
appointment of subcommittee to con-
fer. A motion to have David S. Clark,
the presiding officer, name the subcom-
mittee failed. The vote was to 9, but
Clark, who is au Alice man, tried to
vote twice. once as a member and the
other time as chairman, and thus name
the committee. This caused all uproar.
Addicks suggested that the subcommittee
consist of himself, DR.. 9. r. Layton.
William Tharp, ex-senator Groves and
Alice. A wraugle followed. Then a
subcommittee to suggest names for the
harmony committee was appointed. Ad-
dicks, Layton and Secretary of State Ca
hall composed this committed
Addicks substituted the name of DR..
Geo. w. Marshall, Insurance Commits
sioner, for that of Tharp and thus play
ed into Allee's hands. The committee
unanimously agreed to this subcom-
mittee. After adjournment the harmony
committee met and Addicks suggested
DIR. Marshall for chairman of this COM
mittee. DR.. Marshall dumfounded Ad-
dicks by declining and suggesting Sena-
tor Alice for chairman. Seeing that
Marshall also had deserted him and
Alice controlled the subcommittee, Ad-
dicks declared: 81 will not serve on
committee with that man Alice as chair
man. He is traitor. He is a Judas
Iscariot, and the whole world knows it. "
Addicks bolled the committee and
Alice was elected chairman by the re-
naming members. The subcommittee
will have to report back to the full State
committee, where Addicks can again
make fight.
The regular republicans have not yet
appointed their committee to conduct
the peace negotiations.
