TUBERCULOSIS.
In the house this afternoon the So
called tuberculosis bill was discussed at
length. This measure has been discuss
ed before the committee on agriculture
{ to an extent greater than any other
measure and the first Recommendation
for an appropriation which it was
s claimed would decrease the disease and
amounting to many thousands of dol
4 lars has dwindled to $4,000, and this
appropriation was passed to-day. The
e farming element from the first has
& been suspicious of the measure.

THE NEW HAVEN JAIL.
The New Haven county members
lave had hard luck in getting a quorum
t their meetings this session.
This morning a few members from
New Haven county attempted to hold /
mother adjourned meeting to con-
ider the Jail matter but only six of |
he thirty-nine members from the coun-
" were present, and the meeting was
adjourned until Wednesday at 1 p m.
IS is doubtful IL there are enough mem
ers gathered this session to do the
usiness and there is plan to hold
meeting some day after the close
the session. The members would
rect at New Haven in the morning,
box over the Jail plant, and ascer-
: bin the amount of improvements re-
uired and then repair to the shore
+ eat dinner and hold final business
eeting, passing some orders relative
the Jail improvements. The Pequot
ouse New London, has been suggest
as a suitable place to meet.
