IMMORTALITY.

Eight or nIne years ago Eugene Ware, of Kansas, wrote the now famous little poem entitled "The Wssherwomsn's Song" which WAS published in the newspapers all over the country. We regard the "Washerwoman's Song as one of the best productions in the English language, and one that comes right home to thousands and thousands of hearts. Locking over drawer full of choice clippings, some siI or eight months ago, we chanced 10 find the aSong," and reprinted it m The Journal This started it on its rounds again, and it finds place from time to time, in the columns of nearly all the papers. Some SIX or eight weeks since, Hon. \. c. Me Farland. Commissioner of the General Land Office, wrote long and interest ing "1pen lstter," addressed to Mir. Ware, complimepting him upon the poetic beauties and the Dsturslness of the production, but deploung the spirit or uubtlfcls huh thc ihSh OA AoAhA AA mans immortality which it seems to show. To this Mir. Ware responds in a
 little poem addressed to Mir. Mcfarland,
 and which though not equal to the
 Wssherwomsn, Is good The following

 A. H. Bishop, proprietor of saloon in the Lamar block on Grown street opposite the Grand Opera House, heard peculiar sounds in the room over his saloon about 8:3o yes- terday morning. They ceased after mo- ment or two, and began again just before nine o'clock, when something heavy fell in the room. Then everything was quiet again for a short time, when there was another fall. By this time MT. Bishop became alarmed and sent for 8 policeman. Detective Brewer chanced to be passing along Church street and was brought to thesroon The door was locked.
 On looking through the key-hole ghastly sight met his eyes. In the farthest cerner of the room lay man between 40 and 50 years of age, blood squirting from 8 hideous gash in his throat inches long. Beside him, on the floor, lay an open, blood-stained razor There were huge pools of congealed blood all about the floor, which was covered with many bloody shoe prints There was blood but breathing very hard. His limbs were rigid and trembling in alternate moments Upon inquiry the mans name was found to be William Clark. Clark was traVel1ng dentist, and travelled from Maine to California in pursuit of his calling He was an expert workman and made money at his trade He had never been seen intoxicat- ed by any of the occupants of the building The occupant of an adjoining room said yes terday that Clark was always very quiet, never spoke to anybody about the building and had few visitors. Sunday afternoon well dressed lady, leading little boy by the hand, visited Clark in his room, and once be- fore she, or similarly appearing lady, had been there. He is said by acquaiDtances to have been an eccentric person, and is known to have come up to friend at recent ball and to have erazily pointed pistol at him, say ing that that was his way of treating men who did not agree with him. The friend knocked his hand aside and took the pistol away from hims It was loaded and cooked. Clark died at 2:4O yesterday afternoon at the hospital, where he was taken shortly after being found. William Clark was born in Lima, New York, and was 45 years old He was half brother of Edwin A. Clark, who is em- ployed in the office of Massena Clark, owner of the Lamar block. Coroner Bollman de- cided not to hold an inquest and directed the hospital authorities to deliver the body to E. A. Clark, who will take charge of the fu- neral

The House.

The House was called to order at 12:3O by Speaker Pine. Prayer was offered by Chap lain Stone.
 The bill concerning the sale of o1eomar- garine, tabled by adjournment on Friday, was taken up, amended and passed. The bill prohibits any person from offering for sale or exchange oleomargarine, butte1ine or suetine, or any substance made in imitation of butter and not made wholly from milk, without having the name plainly marked on
 the package, under penalty of $7 fine or Imprisonment.
 Matters from the Senate were given con current action and placed on the calendar. Bills on the calendar were acted upon as follows: Bill cahnging the tramp law; re- jected.
 Constitutional amendment limiting munici- pal indebtedness was taken up and objected to by MT. Morgan, of Bridgeport, and others who could see no necessity for it. The bill was rejected.
 Bill that every railroad company in their public advertisements and time tables shall make use of the standard time of this State for all stations within this State. MT. Si- monds (chairman of tho Railroad committee) explained that nearly all the roads in the State had already complied with the request of the commissioners in this respect, and this law was simply to compel the roads to do so who had hitherto declined. He offered an amendment providing that every railroad company which violates the law snail for- felt $25, to be recovered by the State Treas urer, for the use of the State in action on this statute; adopted and the bill passed as amended
 Bill extending the powers of the railroad commissioners, giving them greater scope in their control of grade railroad crossings and preventing switching blocking the highway with standing trains. MT: Simonds said the bill was just what was needed to obviate such annoyances as are now experienced at the Asylum street crossings and elsewhere. In answer to MT. Troup, of New Haven, MT. Simonds said the bill did not in any way in- terfere with the present control of the mu- nicipal authorities over railroads. MT. Cleveland of Hartford, announced himself in favor of the bill, and was followed in the same strain by Messrs. Allen, of Putnam, and Andrews, of New Britain. On vote the bill was passed.
 Bill extending the territorial limits of the town of New Haven by annexing certain ter ritory (about 125 acres) in the town of Ham den. MT. Garter, of Waterbury, raised the objection that the proposition was unconsti- tutionai, as it changed tho boundaries of the Senatorial districts. Mir. Griswold of Rocky Hill, spoke in opposition. Mir Law, of New Haven, spoke in advocacy of the bill, and quoted precedents.
 Mr. Robbins of Wethersfeld, moved an adiournment that the committees might get to work, and at 2:3o the House adjourned until Wednesday at 10 o'clock.
