It provided that if any member absented himself from the meet ings of tbe Board three times in succession or neglected his duties as a member of a visiting committee without a reasonable ex cuse, or was found guilty of drunkenness or immoral conduct his scat should be declared vacant. Mr. Betts moved to amend by striking out tbe portion referring to absentees aud ihe amendment was accepted by Mr. Hotfecker. Dr. Bhortlidge's motion to postpone was lost. That gentleman then opposed Mr. Betts' amendment, inasmuch he thought the members should be more attentive. Mr. Kyne then rose to a question of privi lege. He thought the resolution was a ginger-bread document and h|id been intro duced as a campaign document aud to slander some members of thei Board. presented the resolution last eptember had hardly Ween present since tien himself. Mr. Kyne Was, however, ready to vote for the whole resolution, although be thought It a personal reflection upon lüm. He then read an article from a morning paper printed the resolution was presented In accused of drunkenness. He then challenged any man in this or any oihei| Suite to say that he ever drank whisky, in fact,he didn't know what whisky tasted like. Ho also challenged any one to say that they ever saw him under the Influence of liquor. He occasionally took a glass of beer as other -nembers of the Board did, an^ thought the Newt had better begiu the work of reioi in with some of its owu staff, an<A that journal was a slanderous sheet. He yould like to see the whole resolution pas|Bed so that it would reach some of the other 1 members of the Board, although he didn't believe If it waa passed it could be enforce^. Dr. Shortlldgc laughingly ujoved to strike out all after the word <k Rt|solved," and when he voted on the question remarked that he would have voted differently had tobacco been Included. The yeas and nays were called and resulted as follows: Ayes— Benson, Bette, Grier, Hlckilnan, Hilton, Hoffecker, Keables, Kenney, Kyne, McKay, Morrow, Sample and Baird^-13. Nay Heialer and Sbortlidge. Tbe resolution, as passed, stands as fol lows: "Whenever any member of the board •hall be guilty of drunkenness, or shall be a person of dissolute habits or Unmoral char acter, it shall be the duty of the board to declare his seat vacant and proceed to fill it as in case of other vacaucies."

A Great Improvement In the Hoofing Business. Mr. W. J. Morrow, gravel roofer, has Just received the agency for the celebrated Granulated 8lag roofing, an invention which has been in practical use now for over fifteen years with great success. The invention consists of a roofing com posed of granulated slag, seorla, or cinder, applied to a cemented surface os described hereafter, the granulated material consist ing of small angular pieces, which adhere to the cemented surface much more tena ciously than the ordinary round and smooth pebbles of a gravel roof. The material, In dependent or its shape, Is far better adapted for the adhesion to the cement than pebbles. So closely held are the pieces that they can not be desturbed even by walking over It. Moreover this roof is two pounds to the square foot lighter than a gravel roof. The pebbles used for gravel roofing com ing from the salt water attract and absorb moisture which loosens it from the cement, while the Slag being perfectly dry, la not affected in like inauner by the changes of weather. Slag being a carbonate is there fore a non conductor of heat and forma con sequently a more nearly fire proof surface than gravel. An actual experiment with the thermometer during hot weather proved it to be 20 degrees cooler than gravel. The following firms have had this patent Slag roof in use since 1870, and exteud the courtesy of reference : Henry Dits ton A Sons, Philadelphia; Bader, Adamson A Co., Philadelphia; Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia; Bergner A Engle, brewers, Philadelphia; Brown A Wolepper, Philadel phia; Excelsior Brick and Stone Co., Phila delphia; Harriton Bros. A Co.. Philadel phia; Leibrand t A McDowell Stone Co., Philadelphia; James Martin A Co , Phila delphia; William Simpson A Sons, Eddy stone Print Works, Chester, Pa.

Last evening between between 9 and 10 o'clock a telephone message was received at the police station from the foreman of the Gas Worka, asking that officers be sent to the works to arrest a number ot tramp« that had eutered the place for tbe purpose of re maining during th« 1 night. In response to the request Sergeant Sova with a detail of patrolmen visited the works and succeeded in "fccooplug in" 12 tramps, whom they marched to the City Hall and locked up. This morning they were arraigned before the Mayor on the charge of vag rancy. They gave their names follows : Henry Trusty, colored, Joseph Caulk, colored; Ell Berry, Thomas Mauion, Charles Howard, David Webster, Owen Carter, Joseph Allen, Peter Dougherty; Charles Polk, colored, Patrick Haughey and Cornelius Lyons. Upon being ques tioned by the Mayor as to what they had to say, each ane had a different stoiy to tell. The Mayor remanded the prisoners to the custody of the Chief with Instructions to ascertain if the stories told were true or not, and those he found to be correct, to release them, and send the others over for thirty days. Three ordinary drunks with the usual penalty completed tbe record. The Hall Light. The Arnoux electric lamp still illuminates the large room at the i.lty Hall. His Honor made complaint to the company of the flickering and brilliancy of the light and requested t * have It removed or plac<sd so aa to keep the glare from his eyes. He wat in formed that the objections would be over come shortly, when a smaller lamp would be substituted. The principal trouble was that there was too much electricity passing through the lamp, and the flickering was caused by the unsteadiness of the engine running the generator or dynamo machine. When the company, which is pushing its work rapidly, having some of tbe leading business men of tne city as its patrons, has its own power the difficulties complained of will be obviated The New B.

To the Editor of the Gazette : The Morning Newa assumes to lay down the law to me aa Registrar of marriage«, births and deaths. 1 beg leave to say, that I have not employed any one connected with the Morning Newa to act as my attorney, or to give me advice. Neither will I allow any one connected with the Morning Newa or any other newspaper to interfere with me in the discharge of my duty. I do not ask any favors of the Morning Newa , but on the other haud that paper is under obligations to me. Tbe reporters of that paper have come to my residence more than once after I had retired and called me out of bed. I never refused to get up and come down and take the reporter into my parlor «nd give the information sought with pleasure. I am not on the pay-roll of the Momina Newa , nor have. 1 a desk In its office, and 1 assure the Morning Newa that J do not desire to have desk room there; but some of the employes of the paper appear to think that the second story of No. 512 King street belongs to them whenever they choose to claim it. I am aware it takes a vast amouut of cheek and brazen effrontery for some people to succeed in this world, es pecially when they come to reside among arrangers. I think, Mr. Editor, It is use less for me to enter either into a controversy with a man or set of men who have shame fully abused the moAt honored citizens of our State, and without cruse. I will just here refer to the law in the matter of Regis trations, Chapter 381, page 415, of the Acts of tbe General Assembly, provides what shall be done in this matter. Section 8, requires the Registrar of Wil raington to return all certificates to the Recorder of Deeds for New Castle county every three months, and to publish weekly report« In one or more newspaper* of this city. The certificates received by mo belong to the State of Delaware aud I will obey tbe law. No person has a right to amine the records without that is a relative, course. If any person desires a copy of my records and has a right to have such copy It can be had by paying a fee of 50 cents. I again say the Morning News made a blunder which caused several gentlemen to call at my office for an explanation. Now, if my way or doing busluess does not suit tbe Morning News , I advise it. to apply to the Legislature now In session at Dover for some act for its benefit. Hon. Eli Saulsburjr might take the cas**. I have tried to do my duty in carrying out the law and have given all the informa tion to the public tlirough reporter« in a pleasant manuer. I say now I do Dot intend to be seared or driven from my duty as I understand it, aud when I want advice I will call upon un attorney and not upon the Scribes and Pharisees of tbe Morning News as I have been told that they are busy-bodies and "thank God they are not as other men," but much beiter. Mr. Editor, I am glad Wilmington have such papers published as the good old Gazette, Every Evening , Sunday Star and oib«rs, which not, like this morning Apostle from afar, know more law than they do newspaper business and are wise in their owu acts. E. B. Frazer. His of and aa in was was its has of the to a dis is M. B. ex person Attorneys have access, of Pres 7.30 10, 11, her this died R., In ai*d About Fraudulent Batter. To the Editor op the Gazette: Since the Introduction of oleomargarine theie has been iuvented quiet a number of spurious representatives of butter and now it ia al most imposible to get from any but farmers a pure article. Tho law enacted was to protect our people from the imposition ol oleomargarine, except branded as such when offered for sale. I think the law should be so amended as to cover all Imitations of butter and that the Clerk of the Market or an inspector of butter should b« authorized by law to that all such imitations are 6old only under their true names. And it should be made the duty ol the Clerk of the Market or in spector appointed,under penalty for neglect, to prosecute all violations of the law en acted for regulating the sale of all auch Imitation articles. Then the farmers would have fair and honorable competition in the manufacture and sale of a pure article of butter.
