 TODAY'S SESSION.
 This was a slow day in the house as far as measures of general interest are concerned. A local bill to regulate the holding of court in Marengo county en- gagged almost the entire session today. The provisions of the bill asked for the establishment of a court house and jail at Demopolis. The bill was opposed by MT. Meador, the junior member from that county, and after much discussion was defeated.
 The special committee to investigate the normal schools of the state reported today, and made recommendations based upon their investigation. They stated that it is alleged there is an unjust dis elimination made against the free pupils of these institutions in favor of those who pay. The state now makes a liberal donation and this complaint was unex- pected, and is believed by many of the members to be ungrounded.
 The following new bills were introduce ed in the house today:
