Cool Town Houses,
(From the N, Y. Graphic

It is fully as inconvenient and az dis
agreeable to live in an atmosphere
heated to $50 in the shade as it is to live
in one cooled down to zero, yet in the
last case we go to work and raise the
temperature to the point at which we
feel comfortable; whereas in the other
case We 60 listlessly about uttering
whining complaints. and hopping our
faces. Why do we not try to conquer
nature in summer as well as in winter :?
Why do we not cool our houses in July
as we heat them in January? Surely,
it ought TO be no more difficult to do the
one than it is to do tho other fact, it
mas been done and is done, and all that
Is needed to make it the rule instead of
the rare exception is for mankind to
make a resolve and stick to it. Cold air
can be introduced into every room as
readily as hot air, and az it needs but q
few simple chemicals to cool il, the cost
ought to be even less than is that Of the
coal which we use for fuel. Evidently,
it the coming man brings his sober
senses to bear on this problem he will
have every climate ready for instant nse
IN his house. He will not tire himself
out running hither aud thither looking
Tor cool spot in summer as he does
now. His habitation, at all events, will
be always at q proper degree Of tpp-
perature, no matter what the thermur1-
eter may register outside. { -

WAITING
BY J. REID.

:, Waiting while the shadows gather,
And the sunlight fades away;
While the tender cleaning deepens,
And the golden turns to gray.
Watching while the starlight quivers
Brightly In the heaven above;
I am waiting for her coming,
Waiting, watching for my love.
Listening for the well-known football,
And the voice whose loving tone
Sweetly bids me cease my waiting,
Watching, listening for my own.
Lingering still among the shadows,
As they deepen on the beach,
Hearts exchange in sacred stiffness
Thoughts that would be spoiled by speech
Thus in perfect love and trusting,
Winged moments pass away;
Till the holy, star-cr owned night is
Sweet to us as golden day.
And as tenderly the cleaning
Gathered on the brow of day,
God shall keep her, God shall bless her,
When lfe's golden turns to gray.

At regular communication of of the

FATALLY BURNED.
A Girl OF Fifteen Consumed by Fire.

A fatal case of burning occurred yeSter-
day afternoon, the victim q fifteen year
old daughter of Dunmore Whiting, a we'll
known colored man residing on Morrow
street. The particulars of the horrible ac-
Cident are as follows:
Carrie Whiting a sprightly girl, was
standing in her mothers bedroom, at ,
o'clock yesterday, warming herself at the
bright fire. In turning around her skirts
switched out and the blaze caught them.
Before she was aware of her situation, the
flames had climbed TO her neck and were
playing about her head. With q terrific
Shrek and at once losing control of her
senses, she rushed out into the open air.
intensifying the heat of the flames. Her
mother overlook her and tore away some
of the clothing, but in the agony of her
pain, the girl broke away and again ran
wildly about. Her loud cries attracted the
neighbOrs, who came to the rescue and ex-
tinguished the flames.
Still living, but only a Charred mass, she
was borne to her bed and DR.. Hupp sum-
mOned. He examined her condition and
believed it to be hopeless. Her nose, eyes
and ears are gone and she was suffering the
most intense agony. He did all that medi-
cal aid could avail, but at IL o'clock, last
night, there was no reaction and by this
time the unfortunate girl has probably ex-
perienCed the release which death alone
can bring.

ARUFFIAN CROWD,
which Insnlts ladies on che Elm Grove
Cars.

Certain inhabitants OF East Wheeling,
and: more particularly those persons in the
habit OF riding in the Elm Grove cars, are
bitter in their dcnunciations OF a gang OF
Young men who behave very disreputaoiy,
as viii appear. Acase cited occurred on
TUESDAY eve. The last car forthe night
was rounding the curve on the peninsula
and stoned to admit half dozen young
men. bound for the Fourth ward. The car
contained several ladies, unaceompanlea
By escorts, and presently they felt the S, sit-
nation to be decidedly unpleasant Inc
ruffians began by whispered illusions ana
expressive chances, and then followed up
with the relation of certain histories deeote's
in very audible voices. Bat to bring the
affair TO a crisis, they finally addressed the
most insulting language TO the ladies', even
applying foul epithets.
Unprotected and helpless, the LADIES' APP
plied To the driver, bit he could do moth
inc and il was next to impossible for them
TO quit the car in that lonely portion OF the
CITY. So they were compelled to endure
the Insult and hlasphemy until the corner
of Sixteeiith and McColloch streets was
reached, where the ruffian gang disem'
barked.
This practice, we understand, is an habl-
tuaI one and is the result OF drunken
carousals at beer house on tho line OF the
road. The matter has been put in the hands
of the police, who will, it is hoped, rapidly
break il up.

CITY GAS.
The officials Relieve Its Quality 90 be
food.


At its last regular meeting, a resolution
was offered in Council, instructing the Com
mittee on Lights to enquire into the cause
of the present poor quality OF the gas. Not
the committee, but q REGIsrER reporter
went to the gas works, yesterday afternoon,
with view to ascertaining what founda-
ton there was for the statement that the
gas was poor. 1t is quite true that many
complaints have been made, especially
from North Wheeling, but then some pee
pie are always complaing.
Supt Dillon was not at the WORKS when
the reporter arrived, but the latter, while
warming his hands at the western retort
house furnaces, questioned the work
men as to the cause One OF them, an
intelligent looking Irishmen, volunteered
the information that in his opinion the
councilmen did not know what he was
talking about II think the works is max
ing as good gas to-day as ever 1t did, and l
think know" he said.
Mr. Ferguson, the day boss, happened
along at this moment, the reporter ques-
toned him, saying:
Whats the matter with the gas
II don't know; is anything.
"There are complaints that the quality is
not as good as might be.
''Then think people are mistaken. We
are making very good gas and plenty OF IT,
If the complaints come from North Wheel
ing, can understand them, for the mains
up there are small and Old and do
not carry enough gas in them. Be
sides, the wet weather we had might
have effected the pipes and diluted the gas.
Surely the quality is all right. We are
now running sixty retOrts, full capacity,
and averaging 100000 cubic feet day. In
the month of December We made over
5000, OGO cubic feet, which is large aver
age"
"What did you do for water yesterday?
1--WE would have done badly il it had not
been for Mr.. Warren. Weshut off the stop
cocks above and below us, and he pumped
| into the mains from the creek, and kept us
| going. Water is necessary for the purpose
| of washing the gas and removing the sui
| phur. Sulphur might not effect the gas
| particularly but it would ruin all the
meters in town by eating away the bel
| lows"
Leaving Mr.. Ferguson, who firmly be-
| lieves better gas was never made, the re-
porter sought the office ard proceeded TO
| interrogate Secretary Hazlett in the same
way. He has not grown gray in the SER
vice, but he.contended the quality OF the
| gas was excellent Sixteen candle-power
was the strength of it, he said, and four
| teen or fifteen was good average. II any
| body got poor gas, it was the fault OF the
small mains and not of tie illuminating
| fluid, TO which he would be qualified.

City Taxes Due.

City Collector fancy, yesterday, finished
the making out OF the tax bills and water
rates for 1881, which are now due and pay
able. The time is about two months later
than usual, the delay having been caused
by the revaluation and by the long session
of the Board of Equalization and appeals.
This will throw the collection late, and as
the first thirty-six thousand dollars collcC-
ted goes TO List & Davenport, for the loan,
it will be some time before the city treas
ury gets any. The settlements with the
collector will also be thrown late this year.
Notwithstanding the report that these
are flush times" with the mills and the
factories running full, collectors report
money as very close and difficult to obtain.
However, taxes must be paid, though the
heavens fall, and tax collector will get
money where no one else can. This calls
to mind the verse
Here comes Mr.. Winter, q collector OF taxes,

l advise you to pay him without any FUN

For, though his names Winter, he acts very

ACanine Letter Carrier.

Main street. has developed extraor-
binary intelligence in the letter car
ryinG line. He acquired the habit of await
ing the appearance of Harvey Carmack, the
carrier, taking the mail in his mouth and
bearing il to the house Finally he grew
weary of waiting and went to the post office
to meet Harvey, following him through
the entire route. If q letter is dropped, the
canine at once siezes it and brings It along:
In fact, Harvey must stow his delivered
mail carefully, or the animal will pick it
up and insist on carrying it. Each day he
sits patiently at the post Office, and when
Harvey appears, takes up the line of march
and assists in the delivery OF the mail. He
is certainly an intelligent brute.
