This morning the house took up the req
olution authorizing the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad to increase
their stock to 500, 1000, 900. Judge Wood,
the republican leader Of the house and
chairman of the judiciary committee, crit
icised the undue haste all around in try
ing to rush the matter through ahead of
other matters which had been longer be-
fore the house. The debate was partici-
pated in by Mr.. Gum of Milford, Mr..
Brinsmade of Washington, Mr.. Keller of
Norwalk, Mr.. Callahan and Mr.. Rotchkiss
| of New Haven. Ar. Callahan claimed that
| the increase of stock was matter which
| only concerned the directors and stockbol-
| ders of the road, but subsequently modified
this opinion. It was finally decided upon
motion of Mr.. Rockwell, chairman of the
| committee on railroads, to make the mat.
| ter the special order of the day for March
1. Mr.. Hotchkiss offered an amendmen,
to the effect that when the road ehall have
Issued 500, 900, 900 of stock 1t shall make
the rates of fare uniform on all branches
of the road. The amendment was ordered

Sargent and PROFESSOR NeWCOD AFTER Wh1cn
the committee adjourned until next week.
It is understood that only few of the
railroads and towns agree on any proposed
law, as suggested by Governor Waller, and
q hard fight is looked for before the thing
straightens itself out.
Fourteen to four against the confirms-
ton of Clarence Deming of New Haven to
be insurance commissioner WAS the result
of the vote in the senate this morning,
which results in Mr.. Deming's defeat, and
the appointment of another candidate by
the governor is now necessary.
Two reports were presented by the COM
mittee on executive nominations, one
signed by Senators Pierce, dem and Hol-
comb, rep, was against Deming's nomt-
nation, and the other by Senator Fox,
dem, was in favor of confirmation. Mr..
Holcomb opposed the nomination, on the
ground that the governor could not now at
this time make any nomination to the
position. He said that Governor Morris
has no power to fill 1t until a recess OF the
general assembly. 1t should now be filled
by concurrent vote of the general assembly,
IS this vacancy now existed only through
failures of the senate of 1891 to confirm
Governor Bulkeley's nomination Of Com
missioner Fyler.
Mr.. Pierce said he thought Mr.. Deming
ga dangerous man for the position. The
people of the state, regardless of party,
don't want him. He is an honorable man
of high character, but disposed to be hyp-
ocritical in small thing and lacking the ex-
ecutive qualities essential to the position.
If confirmed he is liable to enter upon wild
and cratic courses prejudicial to the in
suranoe business"
Mr.. Cleveland supported the nomination
and endorsed Mr.. Deming's high chsrac-
ter. He moved to take the vote by yeas
and nays, which was defeated.
Mr.. Fox ably stood by Governor Morris
in this, as he has in all the governors sp-
pointments, and made an able argumentin
favor Of Mr.. Deming's appointment and
his fitness to fill such an important Office.
His plea, however, was without avail. as
the republicans had already decided to
vote against him. as shown by the result.
Governor Morris said after Mr., Deming's
defeat that he would immediately send In
another appointment, and 1t is freely ru-
mored that the name of Hon. Caleb B.

greatest sufferers Pickle raising is favorite ana

The farmers are taking barrels and barrels OF the

each day becoming less. One large pickle grower
said Yesterday that two more days Of scorching

fodder and are being fed barley and old hay
The brooks low, and what little water there
is Is quickly utilized by the farmers in watering
cattle or irrigatng their land Many springs and
wells have run dry. Peeksk has no fear OF its
water supply, as it's reservoir is always full All
