NOTE—In accordance with the intention of the Management, as announced in November, 1891, to limit the
amount of new insurance actually issued and paid for in the accounts of the year 1892 to One Hundred Million
Dollars, the amount of insurance in force, as above stated, includes the amount of such voluntary limit, with but
a slight increase, unavoidable in closing the December accounts. '

At Hartford.
There was anemiting wrangle in the
House overthe' appOintdment of a udge
of the common pleas cdnrt,_for itch-
fi_eld county._‘ Some time'ago a resolu-
tion appointing ’A.I_ C. .Boarback, a, re-
publican; to fill that _,position was
passed~ by the House. , Later-on a reso-
lu ion appomting‘ Arthur D.‘-=-Warner,
a emocrat,"'fo the, same position was
passed by the Senate. A majority of
the judiciary committee had reported
unfavorablyv inpon Warner’s nomina-
tion-,5; ' i ‘ '
came up in the House, and-it pass‘ed,
120 for 95 against. A‘ few minutes later
Gunn of Milford moved that the reso-
lution authorizing the appomtment of
a special committee to investigate the
state prison scandal be taken from the
gable. This motion was defeated 106
o 92.
It was apparent that there was some.
thing wrong, and a warm discussion
ensued. Judge Wood finally moved to
reconsider, but more members had in
the meantime arrived, and the motion
was lost, 121 for, -to 98 against. The
Litchfield republicans entirely favored
Mr. Warner’s appointment.
,When the turmoil subsided some-3
what Judge Wood moved for the resolu-
tion ordering the regular prison com-
mittee to proceed with the investiga-
tion. Mr. Guun substituted a motion
that the special committee resolution
be taken up. The latter motion pre-
vailed, 107 to 92 against, a number of
republicans voting in its favor. Sen-
ators Jones and Root are upon the
special committee, but the House has
not yet named its members.
The sweeping pool room bill was tak-
en up. As reported by the committee,
it excepts nothing from its stringent
provisions against gambling. Judge
Beardsley of the committee spoke elo-
quently from manuscript in behalf of
it.
Mr. Healy offered an amendment in
favor of inclosed grounds where games
were being held but on the vote on the
bill his was the only dissenting voice.
- Mr. "Hamersley’s bill to prevent cor-
ruption- at 'elections, after a statement
by Mr. Wood, passed without discus-
sron.
Governor Morris sent to the Senate
the nomination of Burton Mansfield of
New Haven to succeed John S. Sey-
mour as insurance commissioner. The
latter’s resignation was accepted yes-
terday. Mr. Mansfield is a New haven
lawyer. He was born in New Haven
and is 36 years of age. He was gradu-
ated from the Yale law school in 1878.
The nomination was referred to the
committee on executive nominations.
There was a lengthy discussion on
the bill ordering selectmen in all towns
of the state to display the stars and
stripes on all public schools. An amend.
ment was ofi'ered making it compulsory
for selectmen to do this only upon the
application of five tax-payers of the
Lu wn. Senator Morgan spoke in favor
of the amendment. and the whole inat-
ter was recommitted to the committee
on education.
The bill which recently passed the
House ordering manufacturers to re-
port to the factory inspector all acci-
dents occuring in their factories, was
indifinitely postponed. .
The committee on education met and
discussed at length the normal school
matter. They have reached a decision
and are now preparing their ; report.
They said, however, that they will not
make public the result before next
Tuesdag. ' .
The nnday fishing bill to which op-
position has arisen in all . the towns
along the shore will be rejected by the
Legislature. Senator Jones of Green-
wich who introduced the'bill appeared
before the judiciary committee in Hart-
ford and-stated thathe desired to with-
draw it. He had no desire that it
should become a law and there was a
great howl against it. The bill provid-
ed that persons caught fishing on Sun-
day should be fined, not to exceed $10.
A petition was presented, asking that
the state locate a training school in
Norwalk and make an appropriation of
$5,000 for the same. Hon. John S
Seymour, Representative E. O. Keeler
and H. B. Wigham were before the
committee on education in support of
the petition. There is no school of this
kind in the state at present and Nor-_'
walk wants the honor of starting one,
hoping to develop it so that it will be-
come an important factor in the educa-
tion of boys who expect to make their
living by manuel labor. ' ‘
The judiciary committee‘is well along
with its work and will finish hearings
on all measures it as soon as . most of
the committees. This committee has
disposed of its business .very systemati-
cally. The committee on incorpora-
tions is also rapidly doing its work.
The important cities and boroughs com-
mittee has been necessarily delayed by
the general street railway bill, and has
not been able to dispose of individual
bills because the general law has not
yet passed.
Before the committee on temperance
a hearing was held on a bill which, if
passed, would give to hotel proprietors
keeping a hotel where at least 25 sleep-
ing rooms are provided, the right, un-
der their license, to serve intoxicating
liquors to guests at the table or in their
room, at any time on week days or
Sunday. ‘- " ..
Major John C. Parsons, A. Elijah
Hart, Ward W. Jacobs and ex-Senator
Catlin of Bridgeport appeared before
the‘ committee on banks on the bills
concering the investments of savings
banks and enlarging the field of legal
investments by savings banks. Sena-
tor Ferris read the provisions of a pro-
posed bill under which savings banks
could invest 30 per cent. of their de-
posits in other than real estate loans
and 10 per cent. on personal notes With
two indorsers. Under the present law
savings banks may loan not to exceed
5 per cent. of their deposits on mer-
cantile paper. Treasurer Hart of the
Society for Savings said that he didn’t
believe it was good policy for savings
banks to take paper of that kind,
indorsed by two persons.- Either
might die and the settlement of the es-
tate involve much trouble to the bank._
His bank. with deposits of $15,000,000,
has but $35,000 to $40 000 invested in
such loans. He thought that posSibly
the smaller banks, located in manufac-
turing towns and villages, might be
disposed to invest in such securities.

The Wallingford correspondent of
the N ew Haven Courier writs thus of a
journalistwho has a record—such as ‘it
is—in various parts of the state :
Colonel Darwin C. Pavey, formerly
editor and manager of the Wallingford
Weekly Times, now associate editor of
the Portsmouth, N. H. Evening Times,
and Miss Annie E. Smart. a drawing
teacher in the public schools, were
married in the Episcopal church in
Portsmouth, N. H., Sunday afternoon.
Colonel Pavey’s former :wife is still
livmg _here“on 'Elm street, with her
five children, and says that if she and
her husband are divorced she does not
know it. Colonel Pavey’s record while
in this town was not a j‘very créditable
one. " wit‘ 1 U 1 ' in"

The C. N. G. requires new trousers
and forage caps; 700 blouses have been
drawn from the United States overn-
ment and 1,800'more are neede , as the
old blouses are worn out. The Peabody
rifles, with which all the regiments but
the First are armed, are considered as
unserviceable and the national govern-
ment should furnish something better.
