' MRS CLARK R SHEIroN

MRS. CLARK R. SHELTON. The Parcae closely watch the busy strands, While through the wool of swiftly flying hours The shuttle of life in heavenly hands Weaves in and out the tale of thorns aud flow CTS.
 At last the work is OCT; with painful sighs Grim Atropos divides the slender thread, And leaves in radient view before our eyes The story of life too quickly sped. Here is the golden sheen of noble deeds, There, are the siIken threads of pure desire; While binding fast the varying shade that speeds,
 Run silver cords that holy hopes inspire. Now may we see those glorious acts of love That bound our hearts so closely to her own; Now may we prize those tender words that Strove To give our song of life a sweeter tone. And memry waking to her fruitful years ClingS vine.like round our darkened home precious balm to unavailing tears, A legacy of peaceful hope to come. So lay we tenderly beneath the sod The form that once she used and we did love; So flies her soul with faith sublime to God. So points her life and death to Him above.

 At the New Haven Opera House last even ing Frank Harvey's great moral drama of the above titles was presented. The play ex cites interest from the beginning and be- comes thrilling and exciting as the crimes ot a. downward path are revealed. They were presented last evening in a realistic manner The horrors and suffering in consequence of vice were portrayed so forcibly that the crowning triumph of vir- tue came as happy relief. There is, however, minglng of comedy and pathos throughout the piece which affords variety, and as. these portions were capitally acted last evening the audience had a variety of sensations. Loud laughter and applause were frequent, and in other ways they show ed their appreciation. The company is an excellent one throughout and the perform ance in detail is well given. It will be re- peated this evening, and to those who would witness powerful melodrama with a good motive it can be highly recommended

JOHN F. :oRowLEY,s DEATH.

The COrOner's Investfgat1On-Arres OfSuspected Partfes-Probable Death From A1coh hOlfsm.
 In the City court yesterday morning Mi
 chael D: Mccarthy, the West Water street
 saloon keeper, and Michael Donahue, the bar
 tender for Mccarthy, were charged with man slaughter in the case of John F. Crowley
 John Mcdonald, Nicholas McGroder, Patrick
 Cohen, Levi Dickinson, Patrick McGivney,
 jr., William H. Doyle and Bernard Keating were charged on the docket with breach of
 the peace against John F. Crowley. None of
 the accused were brought into the court room and there was no hearing in any of the cases. Mccarthy, who keeps the saloon, was released yesterday morning on bonds of $1 ,50O which were fur .nished by James McGuire, grocer, of 157 Wallace street. When released McCarthy seemed to be suffering from extreme mental excitement. MT. Daley is of the. opiniou that the best thing possible has been done in the arrest of the parties who were in Me- Carthy's saloon at the time of Crowley's death. It is proposed to probe the matter to the bottom and if possible bring all the facts to light regarding Grow1ey's death That there was fighting in McCarthy's sa- loon on the day that Crowley died, there is no doubt. There is some doubt how ever, about his having been killed The CoUR- FER representative saw Crowley stripped by Dr. White and there was not bruise to be seen anywhere upon his body. It is likely that it will be found that Crowley died from alcoholism. If Dr. Whites autopsy shows to the contrary, however, the accused parties are in a position that will without doubt bring them to justice Last evening Coro- ner Bollman was not ready to make his re- port.
