Legislature Notes.

The resolution incorporating the Stat
ford Springs electric railway was passed
by the senate last Thursday. The house
passed the bill providing that parents
shall inherit before brothers and sisters
in the distribution of estates of deceased
persons.
On Friday the senate passed the consti-
tutional amendments regarding the cleo
ton of state officers by plurality vote and
permitting the increase of the state senate
from "a to SO and concurred with the
house in approprating $4,000 annually
to the Connecticut agricultural college.
The senate on Tuesday passed the bill
giving parents of deceased children pref
erence in inheritance over brothers and
sisters, and the bill which makes father
and mother joint guardians of minor chill
dren. The house passed the resolution
incorporating the Stafford Springs street
railway company, the bill appropriating
$3.50, ZOO for the Improvement of public
highways, the amended bicycle law in re.
lation to lights and signals, the bill to
suppress gambling by means of billiard

The house yesterday voted to grant the
Connecticut Western extension at Tariff
Vile. The vote was 1873 for and III
against. 1t will come before the senate
to-day, which the opposition claims to be
stronger than the house for the Consoli-
dated road. 1t Is hoped that these claims
will not prove true. The vote of the
members of Tolland county stood Is for
the extension and 5 against. Both OF
Stafford's representatives were In favor
of it. This Is one of the bitterest fights
the legislature has had for long time.
The senate yesterday passed the bill
allowing any town to appoint superin-
tendent of schools, or for any two or
more towns to unite In the employment
Of one superintendent, and the bill for

them, "but l wish they had never come
to me. You see, it was this way: The

death-the kind you feel so glad to see
talking to some one else, don't you
know" she ended appealingly.
Eyes; I've seen the type" sympathet-

"Well, on my birthday he sent that
lovely bunch of violets-perfect beau

town, but would be represented by
these little purple clad messengers, so
like my eyes and whose fragrance al
ways reminded him of me. l thought
the note rather NICE" she concluded

parlor on the center table, writing back
that had done so. Why in the world
