The Delaware Vacancy.
With the adjournment of Congress
yesterday a seat in the United States
Senate became vacant because of the
failure of the Delaware Legislature to
elect a successor to Mr. Higgins, whose
term at the same time expired.
The sectional contest which the nine-
teen Republicans, constituting a ma-
jority of the General Assembly, are
engaged in has been going on for the
last two months, during which time
over sixty ballots have been taken for
the three Republican candidates, vary-
ing little, day by day, from the follow-
unsatisfactory and unavailing re-
sult: Higgins, 9 (seven votes from New
Castle and two from Sussex counties);
Addicks, 0(five from Sussex and one
from New Castle); and Massey, 4 (two
from Sussex and one each from Kent
and New Castle). The two Democratic
candidates have eleven votes between
them, nine from Kent and one each
from Sussex and New Castle. The
number of votes necessary to a choice
ing
is sixteen.
The contest is attracting much more
than usual interest outside of the State
from the fact that Mr. Higgins was
originally elected as a compromise can-
didate, leaving no partisan scars then,
nor inflicting any since and in the short
space of six years has done signal
honor to the Republican party, earning
for himself its lasting gratitude and
respect, while making a public record
that carries with it the approval of the
country at large. ‘
There is, of course, no law, —written
or unwritten, which debars other Re-
publicans from competing with Mr.
Higgins, but were the question to be
determined upon its merits merely, as
between man and man, it would un-
doubtedly return the outgoing Senator
to the seat he had just vacated. In the
case (ff Mr. Higgins there are peculiar-
rcusons calling for his re—election,
which all candid observers recognize;
and none whatever which under the
circumstances would even justify,much
less, demand, the bestowalof Senato-
rial honors upon either of his competi-
tors and least of all upon Addlcks, says
the Washington Post.
Should no break occur in the present
combination, which has been repeating
its monotonous programme for so many
weeks without perceptibly nearing the
end, it will deviolvo upon the Governor
of Delaware to fill the vacancy by ap-
pointment. Irregular as such processes
may be, it will do partial justice to one
who deserved better of his State, and
the Senate without doubt will accrpt
the cl‘uleni'ials, provided only that they
bear the name of Anthony Higgins;
this point. the tioi‘crnm’s
and l.p.;;i
mind is said to be made up.

Darien’s Terms.
The Selectmen of Darien have agreed
as to the terms under which the appli4
cation of the Norwalk Tramway Co.,
to extend its lines through that town,
shall be granted. The provisions,
briefly stated, are as follows: The com-
pany is to have made, at its own ex-
pense, ' a survey of the Connecticut
Turnpike between Charles Raymond’s
corner and the tracks of the Consolida-
ted Railroad, and prepare a map, on
the scale of 50 feet to the inch. The
map is to be filed with the town Clerk.
From the so—called central road to Ray-
mond's corner the company is to lay
its tracks on the south and east Side of
the highway, so that the center of the
' track shall be north and west of the
south and east sides of the highway. If
any encroachment is made upon the
present wrought highway, the com-
pany is to widen the latter, at its own
expense. The grade of the tracks is to
correspond with that of the highway.
From Raymond’s corner to the Stam-
ford line, the company is to construct
its ti ack on the south side of the turn-
pike, not more than 25 feet from the
fence line, the precise location to be
deter-mined by the Selectmen. The
company is to construct a suitable
bridge over Stony Brook, and to pro-
vide for a watering-place there; it is
also to construct a suitable bridge across
Noroton River, south of the present
bridge. If culverts and lawns are in-
terfered with they must be replaced in
as good condition as before. Where
the railway crosses intersecting high-
ways or driveways, the tracks are to be
planked or paved. The rails, weighing
not less than 56 pounds to the yard, are
to be laid, upon hes not less than Six
inches thick, and of a face not less than
five inches. The poles are to be of
suitable size and slghtly, and the wires
are to be suspended not less than 18
feet from the ground. The most im-
proved appliances of the trolley system
are to be used and the cars must have
safety appliances. Turnouts are to be
located where the Selectmen designate.
All work must be approved by the Sc-
lectmen before permission is given to
run cars. The permission is conditional
upon the running of cars on or before
July 1, 1896. The franchise covers
many minor points, and seems to care-
fully guard the interests of property-
owners along the line.
General Assembly.
Both houses of the General Assembly
were in session Tuesday, for a short
time. .
In the House, the most important
matter that came up was the favorable
report of the Committee on Banks, on
days of grace ‘upon all negotiable pa-
per. To the surprise of many who had
considered the bill a~radical measure,
the report was a favorable one. It was
tabled for printing and will come up
before the House for action within
three or four days.
Aresolution increasing file number
of deputy sheriffs in Fairfield county
from 15 to 20 was taken from the calen-
’ dar and~ passed.
There was a long debate on the
resolution repealing the law prohibit-
ing appeals from conviction by justices
of the peace for drunkenness, profane
swearing and Sabbath breaking, but
the resolution was finally passed by an
over whelming vote.
In the Senate, Oscar Leach of Dur-
ham and E. Livingston Wells of Fair-
field, were elected state auditors for
two years.
The Committee on Judiciary held a
meeting in the Senate chamber and
listened to a two-hours’ argument by
L. J. Nickerson of West Cornwall, fa-
voring the repeal of the law placing
the Hartford bridge under the care of
the state.
Senator Ferris called Up the resolu-
tion incorporating the State Loan and
Trust CO. of Bridgeport, and offered an
amendment that the stock shall not be
a legal investment for trust funds.
This Was agreed to and the resolution
was passed.
It is stated that the Fisheries Com-
mittee will report unfavorably on the
bill to consolidate the Shell Fish, Fish—
eries and Game Commissions. The
committee will favor the oyster police.

WILL LANDLORDS RESIST?
Signs Among Tories That Morley’s Irish
Bill May Conciliate Them.
LONDON, March 6.-—Thc Times, in a
leader, dwells upon the unexpected elabo-
ratencss of Mr. Morlcy’s bill, dealing, as it
does, with almost as many difficult and
complicated questions as the statute it
professes to amend. The paper continues:
“It will be necessary to separate the prac-
tical improvement. proposals from projects
which, when they were proposed by Mr.
Parnell, were rejected by Mr. Gladstone
himself as aiming at a. virtual reconstruc-
tion of the land not and denounced by
Baron Herschcll as revolutionizing that
not. One of— the most remarkable of Mr.
Marley’s proposals. that only two years’ ar-
rears shall be recoverable, seems likély to
multiply the number of evictions. ”
The Daily News says there is some talk
of the opposition allowing the land bill to
pass its second reading without a' division.
This, howover, does not conceal the avowed
intention of the landlord party in the
house of commons to resist to the utmost
. the main proposal of the bill that tenants’
improvements shall be regarded as their
own property.
The lobby correspondent of The Times
says that, generally speaking, the Union-
ists are inclined to admit that the govern-
ment has, in the Irish land bill, endeav-
ored to meet the Irish landlords half way. .
Therefore there is a prospect that the bill
Will pass the house of lords, and that the
government will not offer an obstinate rc-
Sistance should the committee of the house
of lords insist upon the introduction of ad-
ditional safeguards.
The lobby correspondent of The Stand-
ard predicts that there will be a. protract-
ed - discussion of the measure When it
reaches the committee stage. He adds,
however, that the Unionists accept the
broad principles of the bill. The Parnell-
ites, he says, will endeavor to introduce
the principle of compulsion in regard to
evicted tenants.

Ah! what avails the largest gifts of Heaven
When drooping health and spirits go amiss?
How tasteless, then, whatever can be given;
Health is the vital principle of bliss.
Weak, tired out men and women With
nerves “unstruug” and badly nourished
need Paine’s celery ‘compound. They
are especially urged to take it . during
these early spring days of March and
April, when the body is most suscepti-
ble to its strengthening influence.
Of the thousands of men and women
with brains and hands all day actively
engaged, but whose physical powers are
little used, who imagine themselves
more dangerously sick than they are,
the vast majority are merely reduced in
strength and Spirits, and need nothing
but a Vigorous tonic in the spring to
recuperate their tired nerves. They
need nothing so much asPaine’s celery
compound. It exactly fills their need.
The infirmities peculiar to the aged
come from stagnating blood and the
tardy, scanty production of nerve force.
They should take Paine’s celery com-
pound—there is no time so favorable
as March. . , 4 ,
'lhe rheumatism’heuralgia, sleepless-
ness and lack of strength that Paine’s
celery compound so rapidly dispels are
thus found to be more temporary con-
ditions to which their time'éf life is
liable, and the canes of needless
anxrety.
Needless if they fully perceive the
meanmg of these infirmities and take
pains at once to correct the beginnings
of weakness and debility, as it is no
easy to do now in the spring.
Paine’s celery compound is the great
sprmg medicine. . It is prescribed by
countless physicians in casespf-rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, and the
many other results of starved nerves
and depleted blood. In. every drug
store in the country, Paine’s celery
compound is always to be obtained.
It is the world's great remedy for
whakness. Its use year by year’through
so large a part of the civilized world
tells something of the good it must
be accomplishing. If men and'women
who feel the effects of too close appli-
‘cation to work would use Paine’s celery
compound, there would be less insom-
nia, less pain in the back of the neck,
fewer days of utter physical exhaustion
and incapacity for anything but suffer-
Ing. Its extensive use to-day is .the
cause of a vast alleviation of human
misery and despair. Its presence in
the world is‘a blessing. 1t has kept
the family circle whole in thousands or
homes that are happy and grateful to-
day. Try it. .
