 DAY. At 1OsO the took up the petition of tn | Hartford and Harlem Railroad company for recog ! nition of the validity of its organization. Mir. Brainard. of Hartford, houSe chairman of tn
 Railroad committee said that there was erroneou
 impression that attorneys for the Consolidated roa
 opposed this petition. Ihe opposition only f. on \ ths Olmsted Parallel The committee did not con | sioners had recognized the road only on the Nsv
 Britain layout, and facts that might have beer attenpt has been made to give this decision undu weight The commissioners decided ss they did, fo MT. BrainRrd explained that the Railroad com
 mittee had interest whAtever in the matter; the
 had time for Investigating the case as to validity
 and preferred not to take the out of the courts
 MT. Davis, of HaddAn. claimed that If the road wa
 legally organiz it would to the Legslatur
 asking recognition. He defended the Oimsted Parsl
 Tel against the charge of insncerity especially in tn matter of it's building operations in progress.
 MT. TalmAdge, of Bridgeport, held that the onl
 question was whether the Legislature should inter inter
 is no reason Shy tn. LegtaiatuI e>shouLd 1nterfer because inconvenient fer the Hartford and Harlem I await the decision of the court
 Mr. Oowles, of NorwAlk, said he had heard tha ' there doubts whether the Olmstsd Parallel wa ' whether She COnSOl1 | dated road WAS using 1t as cAts-paW lie kneI cefved dollar directly or indirectly from the Con solidated.
 Mir. Garvan, of East Hartford, held that the singh question whether the Hartford and Harlem is le
 gally organized and that Is matter for the courts
 not the Legislature.
 MT. Case, of Granby, in opening his remarks. dis
 claimed the right of MT. Law to claim the closinl speech, for the, pending question was on his (Mr . Case s) motion. The sole question is whether tn
 Legis ature will to step in and ltigate lti

 court was brought the sole purpose of determin ing the question of validity; lie first knew of th'
 other years for it; the House always grant
 ed its prayer the Senate defeated it. The result O
 the fight was, in 1871, the enactment of a railroad law. This was first victory the Consolidated
 road. But the law worthless, as it gave no righ
 to bridge navigable streams It was not until l9S: ] that great defect was remedied Then the Olmstet
 was fully organized; it never could have done any | thing before. Now they ask that ihe legislative
 h,nd be held of their enterprise after all their
 of toll and expense. To interfere would be- brusllJ onfair Mr. Law has been favoring this, yet in the Judiciary committee the other day he objected tO | Haven in which he Is interested, The Railroad com I mittee has examined the Hartford and Harlem ' petition with ard their adverse report, iI justice to them, should not be fnterfered with.
 MT. Hull, of Stonngton, did not touch on the above question: but devOted his opening remarks to refer ences to the ConsoIid4 4ted road great power in | politics. They don't come here with an alto: :ney they don't need they have at their head all of the most consummate thinkers in Connecticut Lcok ov. the records Of the railroad commissioners and | who opposed the Hartford and Harlem You will see that the generalssinno the Consolidated road in ! each case. That road comes hsre to opposs the building of a road which is to parallel their own. MT. Case of New Britain represented the interest that city has iu having additional road Tle pas is desired The oImsted Parallel was < dead issue ! until the Hartford and Harlem into the fsd,
 MT. Law, of New Haven, reviewed the action of the railroad commissioners and that of the Legislature of last year; and also took bill before the Rosd and Bridge committee regarding change of highway Harlem The Oimsted Parallel people fought this because they thought it recognized their rival and cover this objection AS to the claim that New York and Boston capital will be invested in this road. MT Law argued that it would to the advantage of Con- necticut to have outside capital expended within its | hmits The Olnstad Parallel project did not show any until the Hartford and Harlem forward and duPing it's thirteen did not get perfect | layout or organization as shown by the l said that 1t would be to the interest of the Consolidated road to crush the Olmsted Parallel but thing The speaker dfsclaimsd any interest in any particular road but he believed that the deand for cheaper fares and frsights calls for another road can't get justice from one he get it from another He favored the Hartford and Harlsm because 1t is free road and not linked with any old road It has jumped here after year to scare ! of other roads and then has aunk into insignin- | canoe.
 Mir. Noble of Bridgeport argued against legislative ! interference with the courts and MT. Jackson, of Derby, said he favored parallel road. ''I hold in pocket three paRsss from railroads. But will this affect my action in the least? Not at a Mr. Speaker They only losses have sustained in freights in | loBg years of business :"
 Mir. Case, of Granby, in reply to Mir. Morrison'a question, discussed inc legal points of the matter and said that if the Legslature recogLi ized the ldlty the Hartford and Bsrlem, it would the ! question out of the courts. And the Legislature should protect the Connecticut, the OLnsed Parallel
 against the outside child, the Hartford Harlem.
 tIt is bached by New York and Boston capital all but two three of its local stockholders well known impecuniosity. Some of them couldn't | buy hand-car." Laughter.
 MT. Law, of New Haven, also discussing Mir. Nor risons question, and Mr. Cases reply, held that as | the quo warranto proceedings, which were in the name of the state had been: improperly admitted into the court (there being proper notice to the adverse party 1t for the Legislature step in and stop the proceedinRs Has B court any more
