l lSpecial 10 the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 Another week of legislative work was con-
 cluded to-day and the early afternoon trains carried most of the legislators on the way to their homes
 When the House adjourned to-day there l were left on the calendar to commence work | on next week one hundred and three bills Of various kinds. At the rate that the House l has been working for the last two or three | days the calendar would not be cleared be- l fore July 1st. Four bills was the exact num- Der disposed of to-day in a session of three l hours. Some allowance, however, must he l made for the discussion the report of the | Judiciary committee regarding the Pigott petition, which occupied considerable ! portion of the time. Speaking of the Pigott I matter reminds me that there was story cir ! culating about the Capitol to-day that MT. Pigott had his resignation all prepared and ! that it would be presented without delay if the House did not give him an opportunity to be heard before special committee in de- fense of his charges against Speaker Si- monds. We'll, next week the subject will re- ceive another airing and it is hoped that it will be the last
