Forces an AdjOuynment-T PrOba-
 bflfty of Evening Sessions Next Week
 Several Bills Disposed of in the
 Senate-WeekIy Payments Discussed
 -The Farmers fin Consultation.
 HARTFORD, April 2, 1886. Special to the JOURNAL COURIER:
 There was a feeling of supreme disgust on the part of the members of the House to-day when a division revealed the fact that there was no quorum and the Speaker declared the House adjourned to Tuesday next at 10 a. m. This feeling was not exhibited toward Speak Tibbitts, as he could not do otherwise un- der the circumstances. But to those who had not put in an appearance when there was so much business on the calendar to be disposed of, thereby forcing the Speaker to take the action he did, was what made the faithful few angry. Some asked the Speaker to resume the chair and entertain Q motion to reconsider, but he told them that such action was out of the question and there was nothing to do but take the first trains for home. It would not be surprising if evening sessions were to be held next week, as the agricultural DOT ton of the members are becoming quite anx- ious to return to their homes and look after their farming interests which will soon need attention. It is not probable, however, that final adjournment will be reached next week; but it will perhaps insure the secretary's declaration of adjournment on the week fol- lowing.
 This morning after the adjournment of the House the Farmers club held a meeting and discussed the attitude they should as- sume on the armory bill, the State prison inspection.
 Following is summary of the business transacted in the Senate and House to-day:
