Clash Over Bill Last Night.
the House clashed last night
in spirited parliamentary
tight over an attempt of the vets
TO reconsider and again kill Senator
Hazels bill to prohibit the shipment
OF liquor into Kent and Sussex coun-
. ties. The opponents of the bill evil
IDENTIFY thought they could put one
. over on the advocates OF it by calling
it up for reconsideration at a time
when they knew the bill would lack
one vote of the majority necessary to
pass il. But the dry" members, led
by Representatives Arthurs and
Grantland, fought the effort to recon-
slider the bill.
After a keen fight. in the course
Of which they appealed from the deci-
J sion of Speaker Holcomb. they forced
an adjournment of the House an hour
earlier, at least. than it had been ex-
pected to adjourn, and also made it
impossible for the House to convene
this morning until 1890 o'clock.
Representative Bradford started the
trouble by moving to reconsider the
Hazel anti-liquor shipment bill. which
the House, during the afternoon, had
voted to recall from the Senate 70
which body it was returned on We'd
nesday after being defeated in the
House. Representative Arthurs.
Democrat, from Kenton, and Repre-
sentatives Grantland, Republican. of
Wilmington, hastily conferred, and
then Mr.. Arthurs moved to adjourn,
which Mr. Grantland seconded. They
scented in Mr. Bradford's motion a
scheme to reconsider and kill the
bill
After those in favor OF and those
opposed to adjournment had shouted
+ Justify Yes" and mo" when the
question was put. Speaker Holcomh
: declared the motion lost
division" called Mr. Arthurs, but
the Speaker ruled he was too late, as
his decision had been announced
Il appeal from the decision of the
chair snapped Mr.. Arthurs

members" asked Speaker Holcomb.

While the dry" men we're confident
they had carried their point and over
ruled the ruling of the chair, Speaker
Holcomb blandly announced THE
chair will withhold his decision, mas
much as the vote is II nays to 13
meas. until he can look up authorities
as to whether or not the motion has
prevailed"
Move we adjourn" shot back Mr..
Arthurs, but the Speaker ruled he
was out or order because no new Dusl-
ness had been presented following the
motion to adjourn previously put.
Representative Grantland met this
