EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

Several of the important committees held executive sessions this afternoon, among them being the railroad and fisheries com mittee. The latter are considering actior on the bill to abolish the shell fish commis. sion and report is expected this week.
 The railroad committee went into execu. tive session after short hearing this after noon to struggle with their reports on the said that the committee is 7 to 2 against the Housatonic's application for charter to parallel, and that the question now is upon the report concerning the validity of the
 bonds which Starbuck and his conferees re- gently issued. The Housatonic lobby sud denly invaded the Capitol to-day after a con- spiouous absence of several weeks. They came out in full force from Erastus Day, of Colchester, to s. Harrison Wagner, of New
 Haven. It is said that their presence is @
 rally to save the bonds and prevent a
 report that they have been illegally issued.
 The desperateness of the situation, should the
 committee report that the bonds are illegal,
 is made apparent by recalling the fact that
 when Drexel, Morgan & Go. hoated these
 bonds they required the Bostwick syndicate to put up collateral for their security.
 Before going into executive session the committee heard the resolution of the New England and the Rockville road. This was first put in as general bill to give railroads power to buy all lines which they operate. The New England company claimed that this was simply to give them power to buy the little Rockville road. In his argument before the committee
 Attorney Robinson pointed out the fact that this was only another scheme to parallel. To-day a substitute resolution was put in specifying the Rockville road alone. No ob-
 jection was made to this bill.

 There may likely be lively fight among the New Haven horse car companies and sev- eral gentlemen who want to build another line. Ex-Judge Sheldon has acted as counsel
 for Tredwell Ketchum and others who ask
 for charter to build road from the depot
 through Commerce street to College, to Pros
 pect and out Winchester avenue, under the
 name of the Winchester Avenue Horse Car
 company. The State street horse car com-
 pany, which has 8 charter to build over the
 latter part of the route, opposed this petit
 tion before the committee. Its interests
 were in the hands of W. J. Atwater. While
 Judge Sheldon was addressing the woman's
 suffrage committee MT. Atwater was on the
 alert, and when the case was called before
 the committee on cities and boroughs Mir.
 Atwater had a number of witnesses present
 and Judge Sheldon could not make out much
 of case. The committee decided to report
 adversely on the petition of the Winchester
 avenue company. Since then Judge Shell
 don has been doing some tall hustling and
 hopes to persuade the committee to grant
 another hearing, the New Haven board of
 aldermen having instructed the corporation
 counsel to favor this charter. A letter has
 also been obtained from Cornelieus Pierpont.
 who as trustee practically owns the Center
 vile road, withdrawing all opposition on the
 part of this road, which would be the most
 largely affected by the new road.
 Ex-Mayor York has been retained by the
 Winchester avenue company and was at the Capitol to-day in its interest.
 The Senate to-day on the motion of Sena- tor States reconsidered and recommitted the bill authorizing the State street horse com pany to build branch from Whitney avenue to State street through Lawrence street. This was done at the request of Corporation Coun- sel Townsend, who desires provision put in that the branch is to be completed in three years This provision was omitted by the committee in its report.
 The resolution committing Murderer Swift's sentence was signed by Speaker Perry, Gen. Merwin, and the clerks of both Houses to-day and was transmitted to the Governor at one o'clock. At late hour he had not signed it. The talk that he will veto the resolu- tions is said, by those informed, to be the rankest nonsense. When it is considered that the man who has been most active and powerful in the effort to save SWift's life is the private counsel of the Governor in his most private affairs. it does not seem proba- ble that his excellency will, in the face of the vote of the legislature, attempt to do anything that savors of hanging. If the Governor takes any action on the bill it will be to afix his signature. Miss Swift resum ed her occupation of school teacher to-day | which she would not have been unless assur- sd that her brother was saved. |
