Deadlock Broken as Regulars Accept Split Office Offer
In Delaware the House eased a deadlock after days of conferences. William D. Denney, Union Republican, was elected temporary speaker and later on the first ballot. The body then divided offices equally between Regulars and Union factions, with further bills moving swiftly after order was restored. At length a rush of business followed, including a salary bill for the secretary of state and other funding measures. In New York, 75,000 Hebrews attended the funeral of J. H. Saresohn, founder of the Jewish Daily News, the largest East Side service since Rabbi Joseph’s service, but without disorder.
