HARTFORD, Jan. 30. -
| Especial to the<JoURNAL AND CouRIERl
The labor of the General Assembly for the
present week was concluded about noon to-
day and the cary afternoon trains to differ
emit parts of the State carried most of the leg
islators to their homes, there to remain until
Tuesday next when they will again be called
to order at noon. Next week parts of four
days will be consumed in the transaction of
business, as Friday is set down for the last
day on which new business shall be received.
Unless there is an unusual amount of new
business crowded into the four days remain
ing, and that of more Importance than any
that has yet been presented, there would
seem to be valid reason why final adj
journment should not take place by the mid
die of March.
The New Haven county Republican mem
bers met to-day inm ediately after the ad-
journment of the House and proceeded to Sc
lect judge and assistant judge for New
Haven City court. w. w. Lee, of Meriden,
was chosen for chairman of the caucus
and Horace Q. judd. of Sey
mour, clerk. The chair called for
nominations, when Representative f. D..
jackson in few remarks presented the name
of John P. studley for judge and L. P,
Deming for assistant judge. Representative
II. w. Munson, of Hamden, presented the
names of Joseph Sheldon and R. S. Pickett
for the positions named and an informal
ballot followed for judge. Mr.. Studley re-
| ceived IA and Mr.. Sheldon 4. The nolnina-
ton of Judge Studley was then made I'M
| animous by reclamation. The vote for as
sistant judge resulted in 10 for Judge Deming
and 3 for R. S. Pickett. Judge Deming's
| nomination was also made unanimous. The
resolution appointing the successful nomi-
nees as judges for two years will be presented
next Tuesday in the House, when the rules
will be suspended and they will be appoint
| ed. The caucus will be held again on Tues
day, February 10, to nominate judge of the
| Court of Common Pleas for New Haven
county and also to nominate county COM
missioner. Judge Torrance is the only per-
| son thus far named for the position at pres
emit held by him, and there seems to be no
doubt but that he will be his own successor.
For county commissioner there are a number
of candidates, and at this writing it
is hard to tell who tho sue
cessful person will be. There seems
to be 10 question but that the commissioner
should come from New Haven, but whether
justice will be done in the matter is another
question more difficult of solution.
Among the visitors at the Capitol from
New Haven to-day were James d. Dewel1,
George Brakeman, Benjamin R. English and
Edward G.. Beecher. These gentlemen APP
paared before the judiciary committee on the
bill empowering the Evergreen Cemetery as
ISOLATION to issue bonds in a sum not exceed
ing thirty thousand dollars to be used in the
purchase of additional grounds and improv-
ing the same. 1t was stated by the commit
tee that at the present time there were no
cheap lots for sale in the cemetery and that
there was an urgent demand for them by
people in moderate circumstances. The APP
plicants were given to understand that their
petition would doubt be favorably con-
sidered by the committee
