The Subject of Good County
Roads is Being Dis
cussed
Special to The Evening Journal.

Newark, Jan. 16.-The most important
subject being considered by the Farmers
Institute of New Castle county which is
meeting in the college oratory here today,
is that Of good roads. James Eosinger,
president Of the institute is presiding

in the discussion this morning were Arm
old Naudain, Jr., former Levy Courtmen
NJ. N. Willis. d. w. Corbit, John Nevan.
Z. w Dawson. DR.. A. T. Neale, William
Peach and Richard G. Buckingham. The
general opinion of those who discussed
the subject seems to be that at the expi-
ration Of the terms of the present good
road commissioners the work should be
placed in the hands of the Levy Court
and that body should appoint a road SUI
pervisor who could look after it. A large
attendance is looked for at the afternoon
session as Mayor Charles d. Bird, Of Will
mington. members of the Levy Court and
many prominent farmers from all parts
Of the country are expected.

Dover, Jan. 16.-The deadlock in the
Delaware Senate remains unbroken
notwithstanding the expectation that
the announcement OF Governor-elect
Preston Lea that he would appoint
Joseph L. Cahall as Secretary Of State,
would change conditions today. When
nhe Senate reconvened at 11.2O o'clock,
dt at once proceeded to ballot for Pres
ident pro tempore. Thirteen ballots
were taken without result and without
any change. They were:
Conner, U. r., Z; Rose, DEM, z;
Sparks, r r., 3. Then at 11.55, the
Senate, on motion of Senator Sparks,
took a recess until 1.3O p. m.
An of the seven Union Republican
Senators stood together as heretofore
In support of Mr.. Conner, although it
was believed that the success of Mr.
Cahall would influence Senator Penne-
will, his chief supporter, in the present
contest for organization. 1t is appar-
ent that no break will now occur until
after the inauguration tomorrow of the
Governor-elect.
Deadlock May Soon Be Broken.
Several Of the Union Republican Sen
ators declared this morning that the
events Of the past few days had moi
affected them in their determination tC
hold out for the election Of their candi-
date for President pro tempOre. 1t j.
believed, however. that following the
Induction Of Mr.. Lea into Office thai
matters will take a change and thai
the Senate will be formally organized
on a basis that win be agreeable tC
both Republican factions.
The new Governor will no doubt in
sist on this development in order tina

Increase Each Year.

rnNtln TO Inc ANtnANh dhuiHhts
Dover, Jan. 16.-Two items in the mes-
sage Of Governor Hum, which was read
in the House of Representatives yoster-
day were Of especial interest TO the peo-
pie Of Delaware, because OF the surpris-
ing developments in the receipts OF the
State. These relate TO the general incor-
poration law and show that the receipts
from that statute have changed.
The receipts IN the secretary of States
Office have been decreasing, owing to the
decrease in the number Of charters grant
ed In the State treasurer's office, how
ever, the receipts from annual franchise
taxes have been constantly Increasing.
These receipts are from the corporations
already established. In the message they
are shown as follows: Corporation tax
collected BY the Secretary OF State for
1902. s72.65720; for 1903 S56,63O6i; for 1904

CITY COUNCIL MAY
SECURE MORE MONEY
Cash Held by Water Com
mission VIII be Turned
Over This Afternoon

At this afternoons meeting Of the
Board Of Water Commissioners it is
probable that the $1,000 in the hands
of the board which was recently to be
paid to the three companies owning
water rights in the upper Brandywine,
will be turned over to the city as sur
plus receipts Of last year. About $4s,-
600 has already been turned over by
the department to City Council and
the additional sum will bring that
amount up to more than $4,000.
The $1,000 was ordered paid to the
DUPONT Powder Company and the
Bancroft and Jessup and Moore Com
panies, when the majority members
of the Water Board recently entered
into contracts with the three concerns
allowing the city the privilege OF. TAX
ing 100000 gallons of water from
the upper Brandywine for daily con-
sumption. The amount was divided
as follows: The Dupont Powder Com
pany $1,000; the Bancroft Company,
81 900 and the Jessup and Moore Com
pany, $4,000.
President Peter ]. Ford is in the
South for his health and will not be
able to attend the meetings of the
board for several weeks, and it is
therefore unlikely that anything
definite will be done in regard to the
water situation for sometime. Mr..
Garrett this afternoon, however. is ex-
pected to insist on turning the $1,000
surplus money from last year. held by
the board. over to City Council and it
is quite likely that this will be done.

New Dover Councilman May Resign,

Special 70 The Evening journal.
Dover, Jan. 16.-It is expected that A. B.
Moore, who was elected a member Of
Council. at the election last week. will
probably resign, as he was an unwilling
candidate for the Office. Just before the
election a new ticket was placed in the
field. containing the name OF Mr.. Moore.
in place Of James A. Hirons, who was a
candidate for recollection, and Lon W.
Rust for assessor in place OF Michael J.
Scanlon. Should Mr.. Moore tender his
resignation, Mr. Hirons will likely be
reinstated by Council as he was defeated
by only one vote.

League Of Delaware. The communlca-
ton was recorded.
Judge Boyee's important Ruling.
There were rumors about the Senate
chamber today that the members would
agree on all of the officers with the ex-
ception Of President pro tempOre and
thereby organize, the basis being that
proposed by the Regular Republicans
and in which the latter would secure
Only the reading clerk and sergeant
at-arms. According to the report, 1t
was intended to continue balloting for
a President Pro tempore daily until an
election should be effected.
Iieutenant-G Governor Cannon, who
will go out of office at noon tomorrow,
consulted with Judge William II. Boyce
on this matter this morning and was
informed that the first and foremost
duty of the Senate, as specified in the
Constitution of the State, is to elect a
President pro tempore. Until tlAs can
be done, Judge BOyce decided, the body
cannot transact any other business.
The Lieutenant Governor had a marked
COPY Of the Constitution ON his desk
and in relating the result Of his confer
ence he pointed to the clause on the
organization of the Senate which speci-
fes that the officer i'm question shall be
first chosen.
Will Delay Vote For Senator.
J Under this ruling dt is evident that
the General Assembly will not hold a
Joint session for the election Of a
United States Senator until after the
Senate shall organize. The talk of an
attempt being made tomorrow to vote
for a Senator seems to have vanished
in thin air. The Union Republicans
moreover, declare that they Will not
take up any matter until the deadlock
shall be broken.
This was the primary cause of the
Democratic legislators not holding a
caucus ON the Senatorship today as was
intended.

Wilmington and New Castle
Company Ask Levy Court
for Permission
TO CROSS MARKET STREET BRIDGE

In case the necessary permission is
obtained the cars of the Wilmington.

Company will I'm a short time enter the
city by way of the causeway and Mar
ket street bridge instead Of the present
route, which is up Fourth street. 1t
mas been known for some time that the
company contemplated such a change.
At the meeting OF Levy Court this
morning the following communication
from the company was read;
Gentlemen: / hereby make apphca-
tion for the permission and consent of
your honorable body to use and occupy
that portion Of the road leading from
Wilmington to New Castle lying be-
tween the road to Farnhurst and Mar
ket street bridge and also to use and
occupy Market street bridge and the
approaches thereto for the purpose Of
constructing, maintaining and operat-
ing am electric railway under and sub
ject to such regulations and conditions
as the Levy Court may from time to
time prescribe.
Yours very respectfully
II. L. Evans,
President Wilmington, New Castle and
Southern Railway Company.
A similar application will be read at
the meeting of. the Street and Sewer
Commissioners tomorrow. President
Evans stated today that the work of
laying the tracks would be started as
soon as the necessary permission is
granted
The proposed plan is to lay tracks
along the New Castle road to the
rs,1rss.artra,r and fiaY, a, fl,a f.a1seav.ra, ~
over Market street bridge to foot of
Market street. The New Castle road
strikes the present line about one-half

The company now runs its cars from
Eden Park into the city on the Will
mington City Railway Company's s
tracks, and in making the change
would save that expense.
