The ice man and the plumber will,

The price of summer board will rise
In August to the very skies.
The gay mosquito, as of yore,
Into humanity will bore
Likewise the festive fly, so fleet,
Will agitate his nervous feet.
Each fisherman will fish and lie
As he has done In years gone by.
When comes along the verdant spring.
The poet will be heard to sing
And from the garbage pile of time
Will prick the ashes of rhyme
The funny man his jokes will crack
CThe same old jokes, see almanac.)
On winter nights will lovers sit
For hours and watch the freight fit
And, when the summer comes, they still
Upon the beach will coo and bill.
THE oldest man" as in years past.
At intervals will breathe his last
In all trades merchants who are wise,

And yet with sorrow is it fraught.

And a spirit that knows no turning.
You will nevermore come, when the stars

Their spheral songs tell over,
To list to the tale of an old-time love

CONSPIRACY TO MURDER
Is Preferred by Woman Who Thinks Her
Rou~ Ar. In n,nUar

Il Preferred by Woman Who Thinks Her
Sons Are In Danger.
A. very serious charge was preferred
against Patrick Conley and Patrick Nc
Curren yesterday before Alderman Porter.
In the afternoon middle-aged lady named
Mrs. Bessie Norman entered the alderman s
Office and entered charge of conspiracy to
murder against the two defendants. The
prosecutrix lives on the Morningside road,
Nineteenth ward, and has two sons, Will
lam and Joseph, who are II and Is years of
age respectively.
The sons work in Miller's brickyards,
and seem, by cause not yet brought out. to
have incurred the hatred of Patrick Con-
ley and Patrick McCurren. two young men,
each of whom is about as old as the two
Norman boys. A few days since, Mrs.
Norman alleges, the defendants confederated
and conspired to take the lives of her sons
while they were on their way to work.
After numbering the two sons OF Mrs. Nor
man, it is said, they proposed throwing the
bodies in the Allegheny river. -,
Mrs. Norman preferred the charge on in
formation received, and says she can sub
stantiate every statement made and show in
what manner the defendants intended to kill
her sons.
Officers DAILY and Sheppard made the ar
rest of the defendants, who gave bail in the
sum of 81 900 each for hearing Monday.

Christy's ArraiEnmeut Continues.
Mr.. Christy said he only said what was true.
During the investigation McPhillamy was kept
under the closest surveillance by the board.
but Maharneke was treated like q lord, and
allowed to fatten at the same dining tables
with the members Of the board
Senator Handy Smith-What is McPhillamy
in prison for?
The warden-Robbing safes in Lawrence
county.
Senator Smiths that aIl9 TLaughter.l
Senator Gobin-The warden had perfect
right to look at the prisoners while they testi-
fed. Would you have him turn his back on
them?
Mr.. Christy-No. but the board should have
assumed the whole duties. Instead of telling
prisoners that Mop Phillamy sent for them. they
should have saId, THE board sends for you and
you must testify" Then they would not have
been afraid to tell the truth.
Warden Wright added that since the State
Board of Charities was instituted 1t never had
made q complaint against the institution and
two of its members were present at the recent
investigation.
Hints of Now Charges.
Mr. Christy further said John Reilly pris-
cner. had wanted to make other charges beside
the Maharneke affair, but that the board had
cut him off. Warden Wright said that this
was true but that the board had told him he
should be given opportunity again to make the
complaint. Official Stenographer E. J. Dom
nelly corroborated the Warden, but Mr.. Christy
said they were both wrong
Mr. Reed. the jeweler, q member of the
board, stated that he was the man whom Mrs
Mair had called upon at his place of business
once. He denied that he was cool in his treat
ment to her, and said that she simply said
things were not smooth at the prison." That
was all she said.
A son of Warden Wright was called and
asked by Senator Allen If he was member of
the firm of Butz & Co., builders. He replied
that he was not. he said that he was only an
employe of the firm.
This is one of the firms that is said to have
done some work for the penitentiary.
The committee then went into executive ses-
at the penitentiary this morning. Senator Rob
bins said that he had talked with few prison
ers that he had befriended. and they told him
ii the committee could prevent their time from
being cut off they would be willing to testify,
but the committee can give them no assurance.

The siphon at the Washington street
power house of the Fifth avenue cable line
gave out last evening during the storm, and,
becoming choked up, ceased to operate, the
result being that the vault where the change
of cables is made became filled with water.
The cables were stopped and force of men
were put to work to bail out the water. A
stop of half an hour occurred before the
water was reduced enough to allow the
cables to be worked. Men were kept at
work with buckets all night.
Several small landslides occurred on the
Panhandle Railroad between the Smithfeld
street and Point bridges. They were not
large slides, although the trains were
stopped for an hour and half There was
no serious damage reported, but some of the

leaped into the air and doubling up his body
like ball fell to the water, and moment
later bounced to the surface, where he was
quickly seized by assistants IN boat
He coughed blood little while, but soon re-
covered and took the train for Cincinnati He
says the feat is done by knowing hew and by
perfect selfconfdence He escaped without
breaking the skin, and to-day says he feels as
well as ever. This bridge is the highest IN the

The Subject of Rev. w. r. Mackay's Lecture
at 81. Peters Last Night.
"Life Worth Living" was the subject of
lecture by the Rev. W. R. Mackay, at
st. Peters Episcopal Church last night, in
which he dealt very severely with the pessi-
mist, as an introduction. Then he ex-
plained how q mans life depends greatly
upon his physical condition. He said that
pessimists were apt to take rain-snd-mud
view of everything; that they produced
hopelessness and despair, the source OF sui
eide.
"Never since the last days Of Rome" he
said, "did we have so many suicides as at
this period"
As the great causes of this, he cited ma
terialism and infdelity as the characters
tics of this, our scientific age.
