It will also limit to two years tbe time in hlch a collector cm receive taxes, tbat being the time taxea remain a lien on property.

On the Ground of Lipanie, Conalderatlon of the House bill In relation to the settlement ot deceased persona' Interests tu copartnerships was postponed for one weak on motion of Mr Moore, backed by Mr. Burton. Tbey ejected on the ground that It would create additional expense. Old Almthouae Property. The commission appointed In 183:1 to sell tbe old almshouse property In WU mlngton, wants an txteuaion of time In blob to close Ita accounts and desires that the chancellor shall pasa upon Ita trausaotloue aud make the customary allowance for expenses and commissions when tbe commissioners have concluded their labors.

The members of the com mission are Henry U. Banning, William Lodge, Edward T. Uellab. Joaeph L. Carpenter, Jr, and Wlllard Saulsbury, Jr.

The latter drew a bill and placed it In tbe hands of Representative Pyle, who Introduced It yeaterday. It granta an extension of two years and gives the chancellor power to audit aud pass upon tha accounts, allow tbe customary com missions and turn tha residue over to the county treasurer to be need as the Levy Court sees fit. Tbe property was sold for between and $140,000. Ail the county buxdiforthe new almshouse tbat have matured have been paid and some which have not matured, but which the boldera were wllllug to let the commission have. The redemption haa amounted to about 15.UUU, aud there are some other seenrl ties npon which tbe commissioners have not been able to realize.

The balance on band Is about $10,000. Tbe terms of the commissioners will expire on Marcb SO, and tbe bill will probably be put through as expeditiously as poBeib'e. Single Tax Experiment, The Single Tax advocates of New Castle evidently Impressed the House Committee on Municipal Corporation with their Idea of the wisdom ot allow ing the people ot tbe city ot New Castle to experiment in the single tax for municipal purposes. Chairman Pyle unwillingly made an unfavorable report npon tbe bill yeaterday, stating tbat, so far as he was concerned, he was opposed to even allowing the people of that city the right to make an experiment of such dangerons character. The bill, as reported back to tbe committee, was so smeEdtd tbat tbe vote npon the question should be confined to property wners and renters of property for a term of not less than oue year The eport was not sctcd npon by the House, Money Was Against It, There Is at least one Republican who does not believe that Secretary ot State Smlthers should have an assistant, and he voted with the Democrats sgalnst It yesterday afternoon.

Representative Money Is tbe man. The bill to repeal an act entitled an aot to repeal au act entitled an act la relation to the office of the secretary of ata'e was reported favorably. Everybody knew what it meant. When it came! to the vote'the four Democrats present and Mr. Money voted against it, bnt thirteen Republican votes carried It throncb.

Messrs. Walker, Mustard and Daly were absent The Democratic Senate win give it a warm reception. Daring the time that Judge Marvil was secretary of atate James H. Hughes was made assistant secretary. Wben Mr.

The Boose's Sacred Precincts. Representative Moore's seat Is near the door, and ever since the Btaslon began be has been much annoyed by parsons who crowd about his chair, especially while tbe senatorial ballot la being takea. Representative Brown's seat Is only two feet away and be also has been made very uncomfortable.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Moore offered a sareastic resolution that the publio In general be given the privileges of the floor. Mr. Brown amended it by demand ing tbat tbe rules be observed. Mr.

Moore replied that he offered the resolution more as a joke than anything else, but be called the attention of tbe body to the annoy auce to which he had bien subjected and said, that unless the House afforded blii relief, be should move his desk to some other part of the chamber. Lpeaker McMallen instructed the eer geant at arms to limit the privileges ot the noor to those embraced In tbe resolu tion adopted at tbe beginning of the session.

It will now go to the Home, and. If Representative Walker remains sick may pass, as he is the man who killed tbe State Training Sohool bill.

He will not be able to set np such a fight against this bill, as It is a Kent county affair, and the expense will be borne by the midland oounty. The mala provisions of the Senate bill are that the school shall be In session for at lea.it five weeks In Summer and shall be attended by the teachers. No teacher not now employed In Kent county shall teaoh there nnless he or ehe shall have passed a successful examination In the art of teaching. The sum of SdUU is appropriated from Kent eonnty's apportionment of tbe sohool fund for the maintenance of the school, Delaware's Master Roll.

Dover Yesterday. TEE WOKE Of H0U3E AKD SENATE The Wilmington City Eielnalve Rati' way's Charter Threateaed-Maohlavelll Baul.bury Will Not Have All Bis Own Way-To Tai Eleetrle Care and Pole. Old Almthouae Property No Merger Olaosea Wanted-Cepttal City Notes. Staff Correspondence Evening Journal. Dover, March 18 Tha Wilmington City Railway Company must look out for Its charter.

For aevera) years It has been nalng as Its motive power, although Its charter gave It no right to do so. No one objected because ot the desire of tha people of Wilmington for more rapid transit tbau that afforded by ao oorae cara usea oeiore that time. Representative Ball gave notice yeater day of an aot to revoke tbe charter of any railway eorporatlon using motive power otbar than that provided In Ita barter. Whether It Is a "strike bill or not It will give Wlllard Saulsbury, an oppottuolty to gun for aomethlns besides tli Wilmington aud Brandy wiue Sprluga Railway C-mpany aupplament. The bill may not get through, but Its friends will make It exceedingly warm for the Wilmington City Exclusive Railway Company.

A Plan for Cenalataaey. "Your paper once stated editorially that all tbe Wilmington City Railway Company needed to make It a hog was bristles on Its back, said a ew Castle member to your correspondent. "You do not know how nearly you came to telling tbe truth It la a queatlon whether It needa tbe bristles. Wlllard Saulsbury, la pursuing the same auloidal eoursa this year that he pursued two years ago. Instead of trying to get through his own oompan) 'a amendmeuts first and fighting everything afterwarjs, be Is fighting the other companlea first and trusting to Providence aud tbe Ueneral Assembly to grant all hla requests for the Wilmington Ulty Utllway Company afterwards, ion remember bow that policy worked two years ago.

After Saulsbury had mutilated eveiy eleetrle railway charter that was brought to Dover and bad nullified them all by antl-grade crossing amendmeuta. and the plea tiat the original charter ot the Wilmington City Rtilvay Company gave It exclusive powers of construction and operation in the city of Wilmington, be began to whisper into the ears of the assemblymen what his own company wanted. He was told that be could have It if he would accept an anti-grade crossing amendment. He refused. The Senate Informed him tbat it must be consistent, and that If he would not accept what be had instigated the com mittees to compel tbe other companies to accspt he could not have any extension ot righta and privileges.

Yoa remember what be asked lor. it waa to borrow 600 000 for tbe equipment and extension of tbe old company's lines, and for the funding or payment of its Indebtedness, and to secure the same by tbe Issue of Its bonds and by mortgage of the whole or any part of Its franchises and property. It Also asked power to Increase Its capital stock to about four-fifths of a million dollars. Yoa will see him eoailng here again this time with some such proposition. I sincerely trust tbat Chair- mea Harrington and lolls will be as con sistent ss Speaker Watson was when he was chairman ot the Senate Committee on Private Corporations.

Wants to Tax the Cars. Representative Fleming Is not a set vile worshiper at tbe feet of Wlllaid Sauls- bury, Jr the vice-president and legtsla tlve attorney of the Wilmington City Railway Company, neither has he an ln3ated.ldea;of tbe philanthropic character of tbe business done by tbe Wilmington Coal and Otas Company, and tbat which Is sought to be done by the Oxy-Hydrogen Company. The Mlspllllon hundred states man knows that tbe state needs more revenue, and he has been casting his eye about for things to tax to get it. The Wilmington City Railway ConiDany should, bethinks, not only pay a tax on its poles for the benefit of the city of Wilmington, but a tax on its cars, tbe hole or part of which should go to tbe state. Representative epruance made an effort to bring this about two years ajo for the benefit of the city, but tbe railway lobby was too strong for bim, although be was backed by public sentiment.

Mr. Fleming Is also convinced that the gas companies pay entirely too little to tbe state for the privileges which they "Joy- Koetmes me miiau. Representative Pyle will introduce new bill to allow the ''Washy" aud Phoenix fire companies, of Wilmington, each 3,000 additional for the maintenance of their chemical engines. The original bill put in amends tbe wrong set and this second aot merely rectifies the mistake, Divorce Day In the House. Yesterday waa divorce day in the House.
