Work to Get a Quorum In the
House The Minority Report
FavOrfnx a constitutional C0nVen-
ton Made the order OF the Day IN
the Senate TO-Morrow-The Rouse
and Senate.
HARTFORD, June 6. Especial 1.-The
sudden warm wave of the past few days,
which drove the thermometer up to "
degrees In the capitol to-day prevented
many Of the states representatives az
tending the house session and made those
who did come, very tired of well DOING
and caused an early adjournment.
The only matter of importance was the
sending In by Governor Morris OF the
name of Hon. Milton A. Shumwsy OF
Killingly to be judge of the superior court
on and after January IA, 1894, to fill the
vacancy caused by the appointment OF
Judge Hamersley to the supreme bench.
Mr.. Shumway, who is forty years or
age, is married and lives in Killingly.
He is republican, and was member OF
the house in 1867, and leader OF the re-
publican side of the senate during the
deadlock of 1S91-92.
Mr.. Shumway is leading attorney IN
Wtndham county, man of great force OF
the duties of a judge of the superior
court.
Some of the knowing ones at the capitol
for some weeks past have stated that Mr..
Subway would receive the appointment,
and gave as their reasons the fact of Mr..
Shumway's stand in the recent deadlock,
he at that time urging that all the demo
cratic state officers be sworn in. and the
case of the governor be submitted to the
courts.
1t is aleo stated that at the time of Judge
Baldwin's confirmation by the house II
was noticeable that the republican repre-.
sentatives voting for Mr.. Baldwin at first
were from Mr.. Shumway's district.
Still others were sure that Governor
Morris would name a democrat, and thai
the man would be Attorney Bennett, Of
the firm of Doolittle & Bennett of New
Haven. The nomination of Mr. Shumway
is received with general satisfaction on ali
sides, and as far as can be ascertained his
appointment will meet with no opposition,
and will give Judge to that part of the
state which is not at present supplied.
TWO MONTHS LONGER IN WHICH TO PAY
TAXES.
The committee on cities and boroughs
to-day reported favorably on the bill max.
ing taxes payable in New Haven on Sep
tember 1 of each year instead of July 1.
This gives the taxpayer really until Novem-
Der 1 to pay taxes and will allow them both
to swear to their lists and pay taxes at the
same time. Under the present law tax
payer must come in between July and Sep
TENDER to pay his taxes and again in Octo-
Der to swear to his list.
The bill also provides that members of
the board of relief shall receive $500 annu-
ally instead of fees as at present.
OPPOSED ROAD ON CROWN STREET.
Mr.. Mersick of the firm of English &
Mersick of New Haven, appeared before
the committee on cities and boroughs to-
day and opposed the Morris Cove roads in
tention to build It's tracks up Grown street.
The plan is to extend the road from Tom.
linson bridge and run 1t through Fair,
State and Crown streets to Church street.

Driscoll also opposed the road going
through Crown street, on the ground that
the street Is narrow and is entirely taker
up with local travel.
