contracts in each individual case, instead of
 collectively. A great many towns can't
 afford to build an almshouse to care for their
 paupers.
 MT. Pease, of Enfield, thought the abuse
 of the system was worse than the practice.
 No trouble was experienced that he knew of
 in his section. The State takes care of its
 paupers under this practice. Perhaps it might
 work better if the contracts were made by the week or month. The matter was finally tabled for the calen- dar.
 Matters from the Senate were given con- current action.
 Ooncurred with Senate in restricting | amount to be expended in fitting up ofacefor l the uuartermaster general at $500, as pro ! vided in original resolution. l Concurred in continuing to next session petition of the Hartford Steam company for 1 amendment of charter. 1 Mr. Griswold, of Rocky Hill, asked for . 1 committee of conference on bill to prevent 1 irregular medical practice, which the Senate 1 refused to receive. After some debate on the propriety of bothering the Legislature 1 with propositions they refused to entertain 1 year after year, MT. Carter, of Waterbury. 1 moved that the House reconsider it's former 1 action and reject the bill lost. MT. Gris- wold's motion for committee of conference 1 was carried, and Messrs. Griswold, of Rocky l Hill, and Simonds, of Canton, appointed. ] The 1OlLOW1n& Dl1S Ou LILO cdl0AOAE were I passed Bill that all insurance companies organized under the laws of the State, hav- { ing power to make insurance against loss by fire, are authorized to make insurance 1 against loss by wind storms, tornadoes and | cyclones, provided that the same shall be l clearly expressed in the policy; passed. 1 The following bills were rejected Bill relating to the emancipation of minor chil- dren.
 1 Bill that in towns in which the boards of
 selectmen, assessors and relief consist of 1 four members, no person shall vote for more than three of such number, or when said board consists of six members, no person shall vote for more than four of such num- Der.
 MT. Gates, of Lebanon, explained that he introduced the bill because the minority rep resentation plan worked to the detriment of his town.
 At noon the House adjourned till Tuesday next at 12:3O.

 The Judiciary committee reported adverse ly on the bill to repeal chapters 55 of the public acts of 1879 and IA of the public acts of 1881, relating to the practice of farming out' paupers by towns While uot wishing to urge the passage of the bill in the face of the committees adverse renort MT Cleveland, of Hartford, denounced the pres- ent practice of hiring out paupers as nefari. ous and disgrace to the State He smoke for class that cannot speak for themseiyes
 Mir. Robbins, of Wethersfisld, Chairman of the committee) said that while that bodv were fully cognizant of the growing ev1l re- ferred to. in their opinion the act proposed would not obviate the trouble The evil is an administrative one, and needs to be cor rected by the force of public opinion
 MT. Cleveland spoke further against the inhuman treatment of paupers in some towns. Criminals are sent to the workhouse with them or they are hired to 8 man in some remote town, away from their friends and associations. If the House could not pass a law to remedy it let it so go out to the peo- pie, and the matter be regulated by divine law.
 The matter was further discussed by Messrs. Starr, of Litchfeld, and Griswold, of Rocky Hill, who sympathized with the pau- pers.
