Orphan Asylum of Richmond. first took
hold of the excursion idea in order to
secure a little trip for herself without
cost, Her first venture was so success
full that she tried il out again on fol-
lowing seasons as purely financial
enterprise. After her second or third
season she began to take notice of the
fact that young folk vera taking ad-
vantage of her excursion to wed IN
Washington.
Quick to see advertising possibilities,
Mrs. Gill heralded her Easter excur-
sion as Cupid's Special, and she was
equally ready to let it be known that
she stood prepared to help frightened
or bashful persons in any way in her
power.
Richmond people will turn out in
force on Monday to see the excursion
lists on their way. All will try to pick
out from the crowd of prettiest maid
ems those particular ones in whose
honor the special on this occasion is
being run. .,
Mrs. Gill will only smile when asked
how many brides she expects TO accom-
modate this year. She says she cannot
give away these secrets in advance Of
the event, but that there will be one
bride at least is already positively
known.

SENATE STRIKES
BLOW TO COR0NERS
Bill for Abolition of Board
Advanced to Final
Order.
FOLEY AMENDMENT
MEETS WITH DEFEAT
Senator Mills Fights Proposal to
Do Away with Office
Immediately.

From Stan Correspondent Of The Tribune
Albany. April 2.-There were only
two small spats in the Senate o-day.
Minority Leader Wagner took part in
both, the first with Majority Leader
Brown, followed by a ten-minute YER
bal encounter with Senator Ogden l..
Mills.
The tilt between the Democratic
leader and the Senator from the 18th
District came when Senator James A.
Foley sought to amend the bill abolish
ing the Office of coroner in New York
City. Mr.. Foley's amendment to the
bill, which passed the Assembly yester-
day, called for abolishing the Office at
once, instead Of on January l, 1918.
you know that such an amendment
tackled on the bill would mean its de
feat in the Assembly" said Senator
Mills. "For twenty years the people
of New York City have been fighting
for this reform. | think that the bur
den of carrying this Anticipated sys-
TEN for two or three years is a cheap
price to pay for this reform"
Mills and Wagner Tilt.
Messrs. Wagner and Foley fought
hard for the amendment. Their per-
sistence brought Senator Mills back
into the fray.
IF these were Tammany coroners
instead of fusion coroners we would be
entertained by the Senator from the
10th Wagner with an hours speech
on ripper legislation"
This reused Wagner, who shouted
that no one could impugn his motive,
and that when he was behind reform
his motives were as pure as those of
Senator Mills.
The bill, unamended, was finally ad-
vanced to the order Of final passage.
The other squabble arose over the
bill Of Senator Sage permitting saw
ings banks to invest in canal construc-
tion judgments against the state
This may interfere with q referen-
dun next fall" said Senator Wagner.
"No it won't" said Senator Brown.
"The majority intends to submit a ref
erendum to the people providing the
money necessary to complete the barge
canal"
Finally Mr.. Wagner, turning to the
majority leader, said:
IL advise the Senator to read the
editorial in The Tribune to-day. 1t is
entitled The Wreckage at Albany |
shall now read it,"
"Never mind; l read it," said Senator
Brown.
The bill, which involves judgments
amounting to between 100000 and
$50 900, was passed.
New Plans for Barge Canal.
Ex-senator Henry w. Hill and w. II.
Tenant, of Buffalo, barge canal en-
thusiasts. were here to-day with a new
scheme for hurrying the work on the
canal.
They would have the Legislature ap-
propriate 100000 Immediately for
the completion Of the so-called long
term contracts, which will take two
years to fulfil. Then they would have
the Legislature of 1916 appropriate an
other 100000 to carry out the short
term contracts, which will take a year
to finish. In this way the work would
be completed in two years.
The project has cost $l01 100000 al
ready. It is doubtful, in the opinion
of Senator Brown, that the Legislature
will appropriate any money this term,
particularly in view of the clamor for
economy from New York City.
