the bill, he said, because it was
limited in no way whatever, and
sought to amend it, He proposed an
amendment TO limit its operation to
Worcester county. which was lost, but
succeeded in having the stockholders
double liability clause added to it.
The debate on this measure was
protracted and sharp. Mr. Moore call.
ed attention that he, and not Mr.

Worcester county in the Senate; that
he was entirely willing to accept the
responsibility before his people for

also offered objections to the Anne
Arundel school bill, which had been
made special order for today. The

(which had been called for yesterday.
This stated that their contract called
for the printing of all general bills,
with extra pay for local measures.

retort. The debate became general,
but ended by an order from Mr.. Linth-

tee an opinion on the contract in ques
tion. by Que from Mr.. Perkins iuquir.
ing the cost of printing all bills, and
by one from Mr.. Lee asking the same
information, without town incorpora-
tion bills, except Baltimore city.
Mr.. Lee. N his remarks, was rather
witty. He did not know, he said,
whether this was one of the Wicomico
Senator'S economical or extravagant
days. He believed that Mr.. Brewing
ton favored retrenchment in printing,
aud he was informed that he had
offered objections TO the towel order
passed a day or two ago. Eoth of these
matters, he said, were. TO his mind,
typical of our advancing civilization

Of the Judiciary Committee and failed
