 HARTFORD, Conn.,, April Il. Especial Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND CoUR- | IER.1
 How the public at large would look upon
 the spectacle of the Connecticut legislature adjourning to go on junketing trip over a railroad, which has matter of vital interest
 pending before the former, may be guessed. The legislature has not by both it's branches adjourned ever to go on the Housstonic ex-
 cursion, which leaves Hartford at 9:15 to- morrow morning, but it is safe to say no quorum would be present in the House, as
 over 140 members have signiied their inten-
 tion of leaving public business and going on
 the free racket. The senate has adjourned
 until next Monday there being no business
 to call them to Hartford tomorrow, and not
 to go on the excursion. Colonel Moury, of l Norwich, moved to-day that when the House
 adjourns it be until Monday at 1 o'clock
 MT. Glover, of Fairfield, protested
 against the House giving up busi-
 ness to participate in what
 he termed a questionable excursion. Mr. l Moury said that he did not intend to partici- ! pate in the Housatonic, but had heard of l SO many that were that he was convinced no l quorum would be present and he saw no use | in men being called to Hartford simply to waste day.
 1 The motion to adjourn until Monday was | declared carried by viva vooe vote, and it | was doubted. When tested by 8 rising vote | the ayes were largely in @ majority but only \ 123 voted, and Speaker Perry declared no ! quorum to be present and the House there | fore adjourned until tomorrow morning, not ! until Monday. When the rising vote was | called for Representative O'Callahan of Wal- | lingford jumped to his feet, ,clapped his hands \ and shouted ''excursion." Had quorum ! been present the House would have voted to \ adjourn over tomorrow.
 DERBY TO BE DIVIDED. The great fight over the chartering of An sonia as separate town was the order of the day in the House, and several hours were spent debating it. Mir. MeCrone of Enfield offered an amendment submitting the matter to the people of Derby, the same one offered in the Senate which was defeated. The vote on the amendment resulted in it's defeat by vote of 121 to 90, the New Haven county representatives voting as follows: Favoring the submission of the matter to the people of Derby-Representati Wolfe, Hunie, O'Neil, E. J. TerrilI, Doolittle, Ba- ker, Andrews, Chaffee, Holden. Munger, Chapin, Beardsley, Durant, O'Callighan. Those opposed-Representati Hammer, Fuller, Davis, Parmslee, Dswss, Eaton, Bry- ant, B. L. Morse, Healey, Treat, Garrigus. The question then recurred on the original resolution dividing the town which was passed by the Senate. The House voted to concur, 125 to 76.
 Those in New Haven county voting for the division wsre-Representatives Davis, Parmelee, Dews, Beardsley, Eaton, Bryant, Osborn, B. L. Morse, Healey, Cooley, Treat, Garrigus.
 Opposed Representatives Wolfe, Hunie, O'Neil, Tsrrill, Doolittle, Chaffes, Holden, Futile, Munger, Chapin, Duraud, O'Galli- ghan.
 Party lines were broken on this matter, many Republicans voting against division ing exists in Derby over the result. Anso- mia rejoices, while Birmingham threatens all kinds of vengeance. The best informed say that things will cool down shortly, however. FISHERMEN OBJECT. The committee on fisheries heard Judge Pike's bill, which repeals the law that pun ishes people for trespsssiDg on private land to fish, and also provides that any stream which has or may be stocked with fry by the hsh commissioners shall be public stream. The bill was opposed by Attorney John K. Beach, representing the Hammonassett Fish ing club of New Haven, which has the ex elusive right to fish on the Hammonassett river and by others. It was argued that &C., cording to the bill any private stream could be made public by some one throwing handful of fry into the river above the own ership of the person owning most of the riparian land on both sides, and thereby make this private property public fishing ground. Ex-Judge Lynde Harrison opposed the bill and the committee practically in formed Judge Pike that such bill would not be recommended. Judge Pike said he was willing to have this clause amended so that only the part of the stream whose banks were owned by the person securing the fry from the State should become public there- and other clubs.
 LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
 The committee on cities and boroughs re- ported favorably to-day on the New Haven police pension bill, which was tabled for calendar and printing.
 The Swift matter came up in the house on the question whether, having failed to concur with the senate, the resolution should be transmitted back to the senate or to the secretary of State. MT. Hickox of Litchfeld that as constitutional point was involved and but few members were present the mat ter should be tabled, and such disposition was made of it. Clerk Eddy does not want to take the responsibility of sending the res- olution to the secretary of State without a vote of the house, as human life is at stake.
 The resolution incorporating the Milford Electric Light company was passed, and the prchibitory amendment favorably reported on by the committee on constitutional amendments was made the order of the day for next Wednesday.
 The senate rejected the bill to appropriate $10,O00 for the reform school to enlarge the property.
 Senator States called up the bill changing hA ksrnn ~fw A<xE ko-r from July to September, and 1t was recom- mitted to the committee, who reported fa- vorably on it upon an ex parte hearing.
 Senator Morse called up the bill regulating the weight of charcoal, etc., the only bill which has been before his committee. It was agreed to make the weight of a bushel of charcoal twenty pounds, taking the risk of the dealer wetting down the coal
 LIQoUR MATTERS.
 The bill that clubs selling liquor in no license towns may be prosecuted as nuisances was taken up.
 Senator Gardner moved to amend so that the bill should not apply to clubs that are chartered by the General Assembly. These clubs sell only for the accommodation of members and not for profit. Senator Fuller opposed it. The bill originated in Putnam where nearly every saloon was turned into 8 "club." The Senate and House had already incorporated a club under the Ruise of being for the support of library and art gallery when, if fact, the club is only groggery, and the incorporation will be repealed.
 After considerable discussion the bill was tabled.
 Governor Burleigh and several members of his staff visited the Capitol to-day. They desire to get points for 6 new capitol at Au- gusta. Governor Bulkeley will banquet them tonight.
