 CoURIER.l
 The legislature struck the sleepiest day of the session. The excitement of the railroad hearing having become such familiar fea- ture that it's failure throws the capital into a semi-comatose state. The third house is now waiting for the New Haven consolida- tion fight next week to wake things up again. in the senate to-day Senator Moore of Meri- den paid high tribute to Charles Stewart ParnelI, and offered the following resolution which was passed and transmitted to the house under suspension of the rules:
 Whereas The American people in 1776 threw off the yoke of England and declared their independ. inc United tstes desire the promuIgstion of Iiber ty throughout the world,
 sentatives of the people of the State of Connecti- cut do hereby extend to Charles Stewart Parnell Has won in Iis contest With the Rondon Tmes, and the complete vindicaton from the charges present that through his efforts home rule may be secured for Ireland and freedom of speech and justice may That the clerks of the Senate and house forward to r. 0DgrOSReQ NEW HAVEN MATTERS.
 The principal event of interest to-day was the hearing before the committee on cities and boroughs on the New Haven police pen sion bill. New Haven's prominent citizens were present in force. Judge Pickett and City Attorney Daley, representing the police men; Alderman Sheridan, representing the Court of Common Council; F. H. Hart. F. T fov x1,A police commissioners. His Honor Mayor Peck found himself this morning in very anomalus position. As president of the board of aldermen it became his duty, by their instructions, to oppose the bill. As president of the police commissioners it was likewise his duty to favor the bill. His honor very wisely did not appear before the committee at all.
 The first bill considered by the committee was that raising the salary of the auditor from $1, 800 to $2, 500 8 year. Aldermen Bushnell and Sheriden, Representative Wolfe and Judge Pickett favored the bill and com plimented the work of Auditor Lake. No one appeared in opposition. Edward R. LinsleY appeared in favor of the bill raising the salary of the assistant clerk of the City court to $500 from $200. Judge Pickett and others favored this measure also.
 As the aldermen, police commissioners and attorneys could not agree upon all the clauses of the bill, rather than have any op- position before the committee it was agreed to postpone the hearing for two weeks. Meanwhile there will be conference between the aldermen, police commissioners and oth- CTS interested to settle the points of differ ence in regard to the bill.
 THE DERBY TURMOIL.
 Nearly all the able-bodied citizens of Der by and it's several boroughs, reinforced by several prominent lawyers, pourAd into room 70 at the top of the Capitol to-day to take part in the great fight over the division of Derby before the committee on new towns and probate districts.
 The people of Ansonia have an immense petition to be set of as separate town by themselves. They were represented by Att torneys Verenice Munger and George P. Me- Lean. The beroughs of Derby and Bir- miDgham oppose the scheme. They were represented by Attorney William 0. Case, Gager and others. The petitioners opened the fight. They claimed that Ansonia is larger than either of the other boroughs and that they are unequally taxed for the benefit of Birmingham aud the rest of Derby. The people of Ansonis want to be a town by themselves and appropriate their taxes The petitioners will have half a day, the remonstrators another half day, and the arguments will take two sessions more. The oDjectors claim that the petition IS inspired Dy poIltlcai motives.
