 HARTFORD April II, 1882.
 There was a small attendance of members when the House opened for business this morning. The Senate, however, was we'll attended, most of the Senators being in their places. There was a noticeable absence of members of the third house," there being no particular business to attract their atten- ton since the ''Paraller' road scheme has been settled. There was, however, slight revival of 'Parallel'' before the Railroad committee this afternoon, when some of the advocates appeared to advocate changes in the general railroad law that will give any corporation power to cross navigable streams by bridging the same and to issue bonds equal to the amount expended on each mile of road; that is to say, for every $1, 900 ex- pended the company may issue similar amount in bonds
 President Watrous thought that no con- peting company should be allowed to cross any navigable streams below or nearer tide water than any road now built and that they should not be allowed to lay their tracks within five miles of any railroad running par allel to the proposed road.
 The Judiciary committee considered the bill introduced by Mir. Wren, of Bridgeport, providing for the advertising of parties mak- l ing deposits in savings banks when the same have ccumulated for twenty years or over without the whereabouts of the parties mak- ing such deposits being known, 1 Before the Military committee appeared a number of military gentlemen to advocate the erection by the State of armories in cit ies and towns where there are over ten thou l sand inhabitants and two companies or over of the National Guard. It is thought that this plan will insure @ saving of rent to the | State which at present is quite large. So fa1 as New Haven and Hartford are concerned, ii ciently large to accommodate all the compa 1 nies would be great saving in expense. Tomorrow business will proceed rapidly | and from present appearance the Genera | Assembly will be ready to adjourn at the time set, April 18th.
 It is rumored about the Capitol this after noon that the committee appointed to inves tigate the management of the State Board O. l Education will make their. report to- morrow Senate.
