HE POISONED THE CAKE

To Kill Rats..His Little Bows Found
the Cake..and one of Them is Dead.
by United Press.1
COLUMBIA, s. c., June 10.-Some
time ago farmer J. 8. Reaves, of Marion,
put poisoned cake about his brrn to kill
rats. A few days ago his two little sons,
aged five and six, while playing in the
hay loft found and ate some of the cake.
They were taken violently i'll, and one
of them has since died. It is feared the
other little fellow cannot recover.

BUTLER. PA, FRIDAY. MAY 80. 1884,
The Man Who Can't Afford Ii
By III. c. DODGE.

Hurrah for the man who is able to say
In manly. unbushing and sensible way,
Il cannot afford it, when tenn pted to buy
What'er will distress tiin when payday Is
nigh.
Hurrah Tor that man Though his way We
neglect
He has cur proioundest, sincerest respect;
To him-be be ever a friend or a foe
Unchecked admiration we all have to
show.
And well he deserves it. He teaches the
way
of boldly ignoring of what people may
say
Or think it d matter which only concerns
The one who, for reasons extravaganza
spurns.
We honor him truly-though seedy his
clothes;
We love him-though little of fashion he
shows;
We trust him uestioned-though poorer
than clay;
We pray that our children may grow that
way.
And isn't be happy! Just look in his face
Of care or of worry there isn't trace.
His conscience is clear All Inc riches on
earth
cur give him the joy that right doing is
worth.
No statesman, no ruler, no great soldier
brave
Is prouder than he-who is nobody's slave.
'I cannot afford it." An praise to the man
Who fearlessly says it and lives ON that
plan.

A Spectre Ok Team.

ID. G. Gillespie, Esq, of Big Run, had a
curious experience not long ago, and one
for which he is scarcely able to account.
He was driving along county road in
buggy early in the morning, when he
caught up TO and passed an OK team.
After driving on some distance further he
looked up ana saw in front of him the
same, identical OK team. He looked close
ly at il and observed many details that
had previously escaped his notice. His
first impression was that it was another OK
team, but as il kept precisely the same dis
tance ahead of him no matter how fast he
drove he began TO suspect that it was u
phantom. II kept on in that way for fully
half mile before it finally dissolved from
his view, and so real was the vision that
Mr.. Gillespie got out Of his buggy and ex-
umined the road critically to see if il had
left any track. II had rained the night be-
fore, and his was the first vehicle on that
part Of the road, so that no had no diff
Guilty in satisfying himself that il was only
vision. This was plainly the result OF
the impression made upon the retina of the
eye by looking at the real OK team. Every
one has had somewhat similar experiences,
only, perhaps of a more transitory nature.
DO we not often zee, with our eyes tightly
closed, perfect photographs of objects and
scenes that were probably witnessed days,
perhaps years, bciorei Such IA duration of
impressions on the retina as the one above
related proves that the effect of external
influences on nerve vescicles is not neces-
sarily transitory. This is the explanation

CRGZED BY RER LOVERS DEATH.
An Old Woman Who Brooded Too Much
Over Her Life's Romance.

An Old Woman Who Brooded Too Much
Over Her Life's Romance.
Mary Faterbach, 65 years of age, was
committed to Jail yesterday by the Depart
ment of Charities in order that the question
of her sanity and disposition may be de-
termined upon. 1t is probable that she will
be committed to Dixmont for treatment to-
day. The woman is unmarried and has no
friends in America. The story of her In
sanity, as learned by Examiner George
Hoffman, is that she came to this country
when about 18 years of age, coming direct
to Pittsburg. After living here some time
she became acquainted with young river
man. After courtship extending over a
number of years, they were engaged to be
married. A short time before the time set
for the wedding, however, the young man
was killed in a boiler explosion. After
that event the girl went to live with the
Gallinger family at Penn avenue and
Twelfth street, where she remained until
yesterday.
From the day of her lovers death she
brooded over her misfortune, until finally,
when the years of her youth had passed, it
affected her reason. For several years she
has occupied room in the Gallinger house,
doing only what suited her. Gradually her
insanity took on a violent form, until the
family thought that for their own safety
she had better be placed under restraint.

FOUR TO CHOOSE FROM.

No Library Control Ordinance Yet Selected
A Disclaimer ns to Star Chamber Ses.
sious-The Matter TO be Pushed Right
Along.
The members of the subcommittee of the
Allegheny City Property Committee, met at
the office of Edwin Lare & Co., Diamond
street, yesterday afternoon, and engaged in
an informal discussion of the question of the
ordinance governing the Carnegie Free
Library. There were four ordinances re-
ierred by Councils to the committee, and
each one of the subcommittee stated that
general draft OF an ordinance would be ar
ranged, special matters in connection with
the Free Library to be provided for in the
shape of amendments.
Subsequently to the informal gathering,
Mr.. Arthur Kennedy was seen and ques-
toned as to the business transacted at the
meeting. He said there was none, and
stated that the regular meeting of the sub
committee would be at the City Hall next
Monday evening, and that there would be
no star-chamber business about the meet
ing.
II have heard statements that the sub
committee was trying to exclude citizens
from its sessions. 1t is not so, for no meet
ing held has been OF secret nature. The
members of the City Property Committee
know what they are about, and will proceed
carefully in the matter, and when an ordi-
nance is reported by them it will be in such
shape as to receive the sanction of Councils.
There is no intention to deprive anyone of
their rights. The matter will be pushed
right along, and when the ordinance is
ready to report to Councils special session
will be held. The intention now is to get
the matter in shape as speedily as possible"
Another member of the subcommittee
stated that the Board OF School Control was
not at all reasonable in the matter or
the permanent control of the build
ings. He stated that it was
altogether likely that the library
section of the building would be placed in
the hands of a committee of 16-nine from
Common and seven from Select Council-to
be known as the Standing Library Commit
tee of Councils, no such committee being
now in existence. The control of Carnegie
Hall would be placed with the City Prop
erty Committee, who would arrange matters
in connection with the appointments, etc.,
in the best possible manner. If these plans
did not prove thoroughly satisfactory a
change could be made by Councils at any
future time 1t is believed that this plan
will receive the commendation of Councils
and the citizens. Councils are reported to
be ready to resent the criticisms of the intelli-
gence of Councilmen and the way in which
motives have been impugned has aroused
natural resentment which has caused the
members of Councils to take the ground that
Councilmen not only can, but will run the
library successfully.

Fireman's Death.
Peter Doyle, of the Southside, was loco
motive fireman while in the flesh, and be.
longed to a life insurance organization
known as the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen. He died on the 9TH of January
He had policy on his life calling for 81, 500
The law of the organization is that the bene.
fciary must be a relative. Originally the
beneficiary in this case was sister. but as
she was living in Johnstown and no trace
of her could be found after the food of May
81, she was supposed to be drowned, and
Doyle substituted for the sister the name oi
a man whom he styled his cot sin.
Doyle has an aged mother living in BeIoit
Wis, and she is next heir after the sister.
The man designated as cousin by Peter
admits that he is no relative, but neverthe-
less, is willing to accept the 81, 800. Peters
mother wants it also. and has put the matter
into the hands of j. w. Kinnear, Esq.
