Speculations Concerning the Com
mittees.
Especial Despatch to the Press.l
AUGUSTA. Jan. 8.
The city has been very quiet since the ad-
journment of the Legislature on Friday, most
of the members, except those who reside in
localities remote from the capital, returning
home to pass the Sabbath with their families.
Upon the assembling of the House and Senate
tomorrow the joint standing committees will
be announced. The reports in circulation in
regard to the probable makeup of these COM
mit+ees would indicate beyond much doubt
that Hon. Augustus G. Lebroke of Piscataquis
will be chairman of the jud dietary committee
on the part of the Senate, and Judge Hall of
Rockland on the part of the House. Senator
Yaung Of Cumberland will probably be chair
mau of the finance committee from the Sem
ate, and Rogers of Bath from the House. Sen-
ator Stubbs of Franklin is mentioned as chair
man of the committee on legal affairs. On
the part of the House everal names are mem
toned as chairman of this committee, among
which the name of General Mattocks of Port
land seems to be the most prominent. Such
names as Powers of Houlton, Hale of Portland,
Talbot of East Machias are prominently mem
toned for places on the judiciary committee.
Senator Weeks OF Kennebec will probably be
chairman of the committee on railroads. An
amendment was introduced on the first day af
the session enlar ling the scope OF this commit
tee by making it the committee on railroads,
telegraphs and expresses The object of this
amendment was to divide the work and re-
lieve the com mmitteee on legal affairs and ju-
dietary. Senator Marble of Lincoln is men.
toned as the probable chairman of the COM
mittee on banks and banking; Colonel Heath
of Wsterville as chairman of the committee
ON military affairs, and Senator Parkhurst of
Aroostook as chairman of the committee on
agriculture.
Everything points to busy and interesting
session. The present Legislature is one of the
strongest and ablest which ever convened in
Augusta, and no doubt will despatch business
rapidly and for the best interests OF the State
