Special Correspondence of the JoURHAL AND oouRIEH
There was not large attendance in either
branch of the General Assembly to-day.
Many of the members started for home ON
Thursday, presuning that the session to-day
would be a very short one, and not caring to
visit the State Reform school they did not
care to remain. The members remaining Il
the Capitol took the noon train for Meriden,
and, on arriving, they were escorted to the
States reformatory institution and after be-
ing shown through the buildings and grounds
were invited to partake of sumptuous ban
quet prepared by the superintendent. There
are several other State institutions to be
visited before the final adjournment, at all of
which good dinners will probably be pro-
yided for the honorable legislators.
Following is summary of the business
transacted in the Senate and House to-day.
