DELAWARE'S FRUIT EXCHANGE.
Speaker Cooper iiiroduccd in the Senate
to-day a bill to imprporate the Delaware
Fruit Exchange. The Incorporators are J.
G. Brown, John J. lossa, E. II. Bancroft,
E. R. Cochran, Wiliam P. Corsa, John P.
Allmond, George WÎ Bush, J. D. Sisler, J.
T. Heald, William fean, Dr. Henry Ridg
ley, Robert J. Reynolds, S. B. Cooper, E.
L. Martin, James Williams and others.
With such men at ife head the thing ought
to be a success. The object of the corpora
tion 1* to establish an exchange in Wilming
ton or elsewhere, fo* the disposal of green,
evaporated, canned or dried fruits, vegeta
bles, poultry, etc. The capital stock shall
not exceed $300,000. The price oi shares
shall be $60 >he business shall be
managed by not lcss*thau seven nor more
than thirteen directors. The Board of Di
rectors shall appoint inspectors of fruits at
any point of shipmeLt, who shall be sworn
before entering upot their duties. The act
is declared to be of a private nature.
Great interest Is taken in this moveineut
by fruit growers and farmers generally
down the State, and the members of the sev*
eral granges are particularly earnest in ad
vocating Its passage.
IN THE SENATE YESTERDAY.
About the most important piece of work
which the Senate did yesterday was the pass
age of the bill to authorize the New Castle
county Trustees of the Poor to borrow
$290,000. The sum is big enough to take
one's breath away almost. Part of this, a
small part though, is to lie used iu paying
off the present indebtedness of the Trustees
which has been steadily piling up in some
way not explained, eter since the farm near
New Castle was bought years ago for an
Almshouse. The balance fg to be used in
building the new Almshouse. Mr. Cum
mins, couusel for the Trustees, explains to
me that such a large turn is necessary now,
as the Board will get no return from the old
poorhouse property ia West Wilmington for
some time, and the
is
money
needed at once, And that the
of the debt for the new Almshouse
will be less what that property brings,
this explains the exceisive amount asked for,
to a certain extent. The other bills which
nabsed the 8enate yesierday
bills amending the charter of Milford and
Incorporating Fidelity Lodge, No. 25, I. O.
O. F. of Frankford. A petition was read
from 15 citizens of Nîw Castle county, ask

WORK IN THE HOUSE.
In the House, yesterday, bills were intro
duced as follows: For the relief of Benjamin
F. C. Rothwell and others, Incorporating
Mispillion Conclave, I. O. H.; amending
Section 14, Chapter 99, Revised Code, (pro
viding by judgment by default against gar
nishees; ior the collection of road taxes in
New Castle comity; defining a legal fence;
relating to the collection or road taxes in
New Castle county; Senate bills, divorcing
John C. and Louisa Creadick; regulating
the practice of pharmacy; consolidating
Lewes schools; amend Chapter 148, Volume
16, Laws of Delaware (increasing salaries of
the coroner aud coroner's physician of New
Castle county; divorcing Louisa and Wm.
A. Cummins. The following bills were
passed: House bills, changing the course of
a road in Broad Creek hundred; stock law
for district 43, Sussex; House bill, extend
ing State street, Dover, across Shakespcar's
mfll-pond to the Smyrna road. Notice was
given of the following new bills: By Mr.
Watson, Incorporating the Milford Library
Association; by Mr. Temple, to Incorporate
the Clayton Fruit Company; by Mr. Justls,
to appoint an additional constable In Chris
tiana hundred.
INCREASED REPRESENTATION.
Mr. Justls, chairman of tho House Com
mittee on Increased Representation told the
Gazette correspondent last night that he
would probably report the bill to the House
to-day. The bill as decided upon by the
committee, Mr. Justls said, only gives an
increase of five representatives to New Castle
countyr, increases the number of Senators to
four from each county. Wilmington is to
have four representatives and two Senators
all the time and is to vote for them sepa
rately. Mr. Justfe 1« not satisfied with the
number of increase, but it is all the commit
tee will consent to. "I came here" said he,
"determined
county, and I think we should receive the
increase, and I shall move to amend the bill
to live, and leave the matter with the
House."
The old fight of the 8ilver Hun Marsh
Company, which has been waged here be
tween rival factions for a quarter of a cen
tury, has opened again, borne of the stock
holders own property which would be benc
iittod by flooding the marsh and others do
not want it flooded for a reason exactly the
reverse. Last session these latter had the
charter amended so as to prohibit the flood
ing of the marsh unless two-thirds of the
stockholders wanted it done. The other
side want it changed back to a majority.

CHILLY WEATHER.
Another Change In the Condition or the
Atmosphere.
The weather yesterday was decidedly soft
and balmy and the buds on many trees took
a decided start. To-day, however, as per
promise, the weather is raw and penetrating
and cola chills can be had v/ithout any diffi
culty. The thermometers have fallen
several degrees.
Telegraphic reports state that a sudden
and severe change in the weather took
place on Sunday in the Northwest and
West. Throughout the Northwest, the ther
mometers registered from zero to 17 degrees
below, the cold wave extending over the en
tire section. At St. Louis, the severest
change of the winter was experienced. The
temperature which reached 77 degrees on
Sunday afternoon fell to the freezing point
by 11 O'clock at night, and yesterday morn

MURDERER DUKES.
The Acquitted Rascal Not to Take His
Seat.
Harrisburg, March 19.—The House
shelved the uusavory Dukes' problem in
speedy fashion to-night. No sooner were
original resolutions in order than Bierer of
Westmoreland offered the following:
That it U the sense of this House that some
action should he taken looking to a disposition
of the question as to the right of N Icholas L.
Dukes to hold his title to a spat in the House
of Representatives.
A lively discussion of the merits or de
merits of the Dukes trial had been expected,
and the galleries were crowded, but the
matter was put out of sight as speedily as
possible. Hasson moved that the resolution
be referred to the Judici
mlt.tec. The watchful
that the Democrats should not put Dukes
Into a committee for safe keeping, moved to
amend by requiring the committee to report
at the first possible moment.
"This Is a proper reference," he said,
"but this resolution ought not to go to that
Committee to sleep the sleep that Knows no
awakening. The House should indicate its
emphatic wish to take action on this ques
tion forthwith."
Bierer accepted Niles' amendment, and
the motion to refer was adopted by a deep
voiced and unanimous shout of "yea." The
odious name of Dukes was not pronounced,
save by the clerk who read the resolution.
Chairman 8harpe,of the Judiciary General
Committee, promises Immediate considera
tion of the question. It Is the general view
that Dukes' seat should be declared vacant,
though not a lew hold that it is policy to wait
until the wretch puts in uu appearance,
if he dares. His colleague, Dr. Buttermorc,
a gentleman of winning presence and up
righl standing said to-day as he walked up
the hill, satchel in hand, that lie didn't be

was, however, rumored that Dukes would
reach Harrisburg to-night. He did not ar
rive on the midnight train, and if lie should
come it is doubtful whether a single hotel
in the city would give him shelter.

As to the exact manner of their recovery
Thomas Cochrane, Esq., the president of
the institution, was, when spoken to on the
subject yesterday, not very communicative.
He said that the "bonds are now in the
safe," but, for the interest of public justice,
it would not do to give the circumstances
of their return. He had no objection, how
ever, to say that an innocent party bad yes
terday morning walked into the Trust Com
pany with the stolen bonds in his pos
session. The bank, Mr. Cochrane said, had
been put to some rather trifling expense in
getting the securities back, but he wanted it
understood that such payment was in no
way in the nature of a compromise. The

that President Cochrane did not care to talk
too freely on the subject. Iu bis opinion the
three men engaged in the operation had fled

Canada, had been passed from band to band,

on account of the sharp pursuit of the

BOSTON'S SECOND MYSTER
IOUS TRAGEDY.
NO 0LÏÏE TO THE ASSASSIN.
The Deadly Assault
Mrs. Carlton at
Hor Home In a Boston Suburb— A Crime
Shadowed iu Mystery.
Boston, March 19, —The murder of Mrs.
Carlton at East Watertown last night is
deep in mystery. No clue has been found
and the case promises to rival that of Mrs.
Bell, in this city, whose murderer has
been discovered. It was at first supposed
that Mrs. Carlton's husband might know
something concerning the murder, but it is
now certain that he has no knowledge what
ever of the crime. He is at home to-uight,
overwhelmed with grief. Robbery was not
attempted, for everything in the house has
been found intact. It is supposed that the
stone with which Mrs. Carlton was killed
was brought from a distance.
East Watertown is a suburb of Bostou,
about eight miles from the City Hall. The
house where Edward E. Carlton lived, with
his family, is situated half a mile from the
Cambridge line. Mr. Carlton keeps a
restaurant in Cambridge street, Boston, and
has been in the habit of going home only
two or three times a week. He was not at
home yesterday. The wife,Etta G. Carlton,
at the time of the murder was in the house
with her two children, Fanny, about 5 years
oi age, and a boy about tw
years of age, the servant baviug gone out
upon a visit.
MURDERED IN HER OWN HOME.
The statemeut made by the little girl,
Fanny, was that she and her brother
up stairs and her mother was preparing
them to go to bed, both being undressed
While they were talking together the front
door bell was twice Fung, and the mother,
leaving the children in the dark, went down
stairs to answer it. There was no light in
the hall, the whole bouse being in darkuees.
Soou after the mother went down the little
girl heard the door open and voiceR which,
as she says, sounded like quarreling,
was about 7.30 o'clock in the evening. After
listening ior several minutues the child be
came frightened and ran down stairs in her
night dress, with bare feet, and Ltumbled
over t'je body of her mother,which way lying
in the hall. Wild with terror she ran out of
the front door, across the street to the dwell
ing of Mr. A. D. Chaney, which was nearly
opposite lier home, exclaiming, "Something
has happened to mamma!" Mr. Chaney
immediately ran out and entered the Carlton
house and found the body lying in the hall.
A soon, as possible he procured a light and
then the dreadful scene

—he saw the body of Mrs. Carlton lying
prostrate, covered with blood. Beside her
was a shawl saturated with gore and near it
was a large paVing stone, with masses of
hair clinging to it and covered with blood.
All over the oil-cloth were large pools of
blood, giving signs of a deadly struggle.
The unhappy woman was moaning and was

hands of a strong man descended upon her
head, aud after she fell the horrible act was
repeated several times, the great number of
wounds clearly showing this fact. It is also
probable that, the first blow rendered her
senseless, as her little daughter heard
outcries aud did not go dow
she became anxious about the absence of
her mother. After the dying woman had
been conveyed up stairs she said to one of
the men who had a&isted Mr. Chanev in re
moving her, "Did you see him ?" ' If she
made any statement which would lead to
the discovery of the assassin the doctors
were silent regarding it.
Carlton arrived at Lis home at ipidnight
and then learned for the first time of the
shocking calamity which had bofalleu his
family. He appeared utterly takeu aback
and broke down completely. After he had
somewhat calmed his emotions he said that
he had been in Boston all day and was at
the South End wheu the messenger was seul,
to his place of business to notify him of the
affair.
Aside from theories there seem to be but
few clews. Mr. Joseph Bird, who had left
a frieud on a Watertown car about 7.15
o'clock, says he saw a man with a slouch
hat sitting on the fence about the yard op
posite, but he can give no further descrip
tion. Maggie Donlan, a little girl living iu
the next house to Mr. Carlton's, states that
she saw a man go to the front door and ring
the bell and on the door being opened he
went in, but she can give no description of
the man. This is all. The whole thing is
enveloped in mystery.

William Nichols, for many years a manu

five years old. At the time it was made a
Methodist Church In Kensington, of which
Mr. Nichols was a member, was on the point
of being sold out by the Sheriff, under a
foreclosure of a mortgage. The Bishop was
desirous of saving the church, and, it is
said, borrowed $500 for that purpose from
Mr. Nichols, giving his note at three months
for the amount,
