 HARrFoRD. Feb. 2s. Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 The flags on the Capitol were placed at half mast to- day in honor of the memory of the late ex-Governor Hubbard. His death was the principal topic of conversation among Senators and Representatives before the session opened and the expressions of re- gret were to be heard on every side.
 The usual routine business was disposed of in both houses, and after the Governors mes sage was received announcing the death of ex Governor Hubbard, committees to draft resolutions were appointed and an adjourn ment until to morrow followed. But little business will be done in either house to mor- row, aside from receiving the report of the Committee on Resolutions regarding ex-GoV- ernor Hubbard's death and the eulogies that will be pronounced in his memory by promi- nent Senators and Representatives.
 A number of the committees were in ses- sion this afternoon. There was, however. but little business transacted. There were number oflawyers from different parts of the State before the Judiciary committee to ad- vocate 6 bill before the committee providing for 8 change in the criminal code.
 The Committee on Cities and Boroughs considered bill which provides for the pres- ervation of abstracts of vital statistics by having them found and kept for reference.
 Next Wednesday there will be further hearing on the ''short haul" bill, when MT. Fink, the arbitrator of freights between east ern and western roads, will be present. Hon. William D. Bishop will also appear before the committee at the same time.
 The st,aightening of West river, which is the only bH of any importance before the kCommittee en Cities and Boroughs, will have ~&nrther learing on Tuesday afternoon next
 The con.naltee hope to conclude the hearing at that time
