 A Busy Day for rTask-Numbering of Oys- ter BOatE-The License Law Passed with Few Amendments - Valley Railroad Taxes-Other Mat of Interest.
 HARTFoRD, April 25. Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 This has been busy day at the Capitol, that is if talking may be called business great deal of time was spent over the differ ent sections of the license law, but little change was made in the general features of the bill as it stands upon the statute books. The changes recommended by the committee were as rule voted down. Their recom- mendation that the minimum fee for liquor licenses be $500 was voted down, leaving the minimum as before $IOO. The clause in regard to saloons being connected with dwell ings was so amended as to give the county commissioners power to grant special orders | in cases where buildings are so connected. The section regarding advertising of appi- | cants in the newspapers was so changed that they can select the newspaper in which they desire their application published. There was 8 committee of conference | this morning on the disagreeing vote | between the two houses in regard to the act requiring oyster boats to be numbered and 1 it was agreed to recommend the passage of the original bill which provides that boats twenty-five feet length or over shall be numbered Present indications are that the final adjournment will not take place this week and probably not before Friday of next week. It is barely possible, however, that this desirable end may be reached by Wed Toac of uncertainty the House, however, leaves the matter an open question.
 Following is summary of the business transacted in the Senate and House to-day.
 The Senate.
 The Senate was called to order at 1O:3O o'clock by Lieutenant Governor Sumner. Prayer was offered by Chaplain Par ker.
 Upon motion of Senator Colt the bill es- tablishing board of perdons was put upon its passage under suspension of the rules The House amendments to the bill were adopted and the bill was passed.
 The Senate adhered to it's former action in passing the bill relating to railroad fe nees.
 The bill incorporating the first mortgage bondholders of the Hartford and Connecticut Western road was passed as amended by the House.
 When the annual report of the railroad commissioners was read by the clerk, Sena- tor Clark said that it was not clear to him that the returns of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford read were correct. The ''$3OO, 900" i!em appeared in the report as an outside matter and as @ business man he could not approve of it.
 Senator Elton explained that the Railroad committee believed the report to be correct and had so reported it.
 Senator Colt urged that the Railroad con- missioners and the Committee on Railroads had found the returns of the Consolidated road to be correct after careful and full con- their opinion
 The report was accepted and ordered on file in the office of the Secretary of State.
 The following veto message was received from the Governor:
Morning journal and courier., 1883-04-26

MT. Simonds was declared elected. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Brown, of Norwich, and Brown, of Waterbury, was ap. pointed to wait on MT. Simonds, and con- duct him to the chair. The oath of office was administered by MT. Clark, after which prayer was offered by the chaplain, Rev. pr Stone.
 Business from the Senate was disposed of in concurrence.
 The resolution abating the tax of the Con- necticut Valley road with the Governors veto came back from the Senate with the resolu- tion passed. The Speaker stated that he was unwilling to decide the question of procedure in the House, and should leave it with the House to decide what course should Do pur- sued.
 MT. Rogers held that from precedent and parliamentary practice the House had no right to reconsider the bill again.
 MT. Perry held that it was not 8 question of reconsideration at all, but it was & ques- ton whether the House should recede or not and concur with the Senate. He held that the House possessed the right under censid- eration.
 The debate was continued by Messrs. Gates of Lebanon, and Cleveland of Hartford, who opposed the reconsideration.
 MT. Simonds defended his action in submit ting the question to the House. It was abso- lutely necessary that that course should be pursued.
 The QlScu5S1On was cOnGlnu6O Dy NIT. DE0Wu of Norwich. On motion of MT. Carter the yeas and nays were ordered on the question of receiving the resolution from the Senate. The vote resulted-yeas A, nays 152, the House declining to receive the bill.
 At 12 o'clock the order of the day was called for, being the bill amending the act passed last year for the regulation and re straint of the liquor traffic. An amendment by Mir. Perry, striking out the clause pro- viding that where any town failed to vote on the question of license at the annual town meeting held on the first Monday of Octo- Der, 1882, the last vote of that town shall re- main in full force until annulled by 8 new vote taken at the annual town meeting upon the petition and notice required under the law, was rejected 69 to 109.
 An amendment was introduced by Mir. Troup striking out the word taxpayers wherever 1t appears in the section regulating the application for licenses, and on the mo- ton of MT. Perry the yeas and nays were or dered.
 The amendment was opposed by Messrs. Towne of Plainville and Nickerson of Corn wall.
 The vote resulted Yeas 80, nays 125, de- feating the amendment.
 At 12:55 the House, on motion of MT. 6i- monds, ordered recess until 2:15 D. m.

from Chicago to Washington. lost
on July 18th pocket book con-
tanning $50 in money and about
$4,000 in bonds, certificates ofstock
and other valuable papers. The
loss was reported 10 the general
passenger agent OF the b. & o. r..
r., who at once instituted a dill
igent search all along the line of
the road. A few days ago F. E.
Grannon, special detective for the
b. & O. Z r.. discovered the lost
property In the possession OF two
car examiners at this place, whose
names are kept from the public.
1t seems that passenger on the

it on the platform, and it had been
found by two men whose duty 1t
was 10 examine the cars.
They claim to have kept the
matter quiet in hopes that re-
ward might be offered. The pock-

once.

HE entertainment given ct the Court
House, Thursday night, under the d.
rectiorship of the Normal Institute, was
deserving of much larger patronage
tnan 1t received. The readings by Prof.
Houston were alone worth more than the
price OF admission, to say nothing Of
the music, the crayon sketches, etc.
This was the commencement of series
OF entertainments to be held during the
continuance of the Institute The pro-
gramme includes two lectures from DIR.
DeHass, well-known 10 our citizens as
Que ofthe most pleasing and entertain
ing lecturers on the platform. Prof
DeGraff, one of the leading educators in
the country, under whose dictatorship
the Institute is conducted, deserves
much credit, aud surely more encour-
agemcnt for his untiring efforts in be-
half of the educational interest of this
community 1t is not only due to him,
but to the credit of our city, that
a generous and liberia patronage should
be extended TO the Institute and the
entertainments connected Herewith.
Let some of our prominent and inhu-
entail citizens take the matter in hand
and see that the credit of our city is
maintained by having an attendance at
these intellectual entertainments which
they SO richly merit.

A COOL summer may not be con.
ducive to health, but the tendency of
such summers as the present is GER
tainly favorable to the increase of
that attribute which is better than
wealth, contentment. A tOrrid sea-
son generates in the minds Of thou
sands bitter feelings on the part of
the stay-at. homes. They long for
the cool rest and shaded resort en-
joyed by the more favored mortals
who are absent from desk and coun-
ting room. But contentment grows
apace when the mercury fails to
reach the nineties. The comforts
at home cannot follow man to the
seashore or the mountain hotel or
famed spring, but these comforts are
enhanced when the summers cool
ness refreshes the great army of those
who know no vacation. For such
the closed doors and silent rooms of
a weather. neighbor arouse no dis
content. That neighbor is paying
dearly for the privilege of absence,
and is getting no more GOODNESS and
fresh, breezy air than is the man who
must cleave to his labor. The sum.
mer of 1883 has shown itself, so far,
to be the true friend and comforter
of those who stay at home, wether
they do so through necessity or
choice.
