(Special Correspondence.)
Ilarrisburg, March 20.—The legislature
Is preparing to adjourn in conformity
with the Democratic program. On
Thursday last Representative Creasy of
fered a resolution providing for night
sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays, beginning tomorrow night.
The object of this is to hurry legisla
tion so that the house may tie ready to
adjourn on the date set, April 20. The
Democratic leaders believe that ail neces
sary legislation can be completed by that
time and there is no necessity for eon
tinuing the expenses of the legislature
longer.
THE BRIBERY SCANDAL.
The bribery investigation this weei;
was not very sensational. Only two
new witnesses were examined, although
two of the accused were given an op
port unity to testify before the committee
and explain their connection with th ■
alleged use of money in the passage of
the McCarrell hill. The new witnesses
were Representative S. S. Smith, of
Cameron county, and Editor O'Toole, of
a Scrnnton newspaper.
Representative Charles B. Splits, of |
Berks county, was subpoenaed, and do- '
nied having ever offered any money to
anybody to either vote for the McCar
rell bill or sign the paper agreeing to
stand by lion. George A. Junks to the
end. Mr. Spats admitted that he had
taken the three Democratic members
from Northampton county downstairs to
the room of a tnan named Lawler, whose
room connected with that of ex-Senator
Coyle, but that it was not for an im
proper purpose.
The three gentlemen from Northamp
ton swore that Spatz took them down
there and introduced them to Coyle, who j
made them an offer of money. Spntz |
said that he took them down to Lnwler's
room, where there was pen nnd ink, so
they could sign the paper. Spats pre
sented a copy of what purported to lie
the paper and which he said had been
typewritten by Mr. Nichols, whom Chair
man Fow, of the investigators, said was
the private secretary of ex-Senator Wilt
iam 11. Andrews, of "Lexow" notoriety.
Representative Sptaz said that he liail
; never talked the McCarrell bill over j
. with Senator Coyle and had never been
offered any money to vote for it or to
i vote on the senatorsliip.
i REPRESENTATIVE SMITH'S
STORY.
Representative Smith said that he had
j not been offered money or any valuable
! thiug, but that a man had asked him
into a committee room, and there re
quested him to help support the McCar
rell bill, nnd just as he began to talk
about "two and a half" some oue en
tered the room, and that ended the con
versation. He refused to give the until?
] of the person, but it is believed to be a
i member.
Michael J. Costollo, who is accused of
having introduced John Engler, of I.v
coming county, to ex-Scnator Coyle when
Coyle offered Engler money, and who is
also charged by Engler under ontli with
having driven out to his house 13 miles
from Williamsport and offered him S3OO
to vote for the McCarrelll bill, also took
j the stand. Costollo denied everything.
He said that lie was interested in the
-McCarrell hill because his brother was
charged with conspiracy in Lycoming
county, and he thought it would help
him. He denied that he had ever of
fered Engler a penny, und gave as the
excuse for driving out to his house in a
! snowstorm that lie wanted to know why
he hud not voted for the McCarrell bill.
Being cross examined by Chairman
' Fow Costollo admitted that he did not
know that his brother was under indiet
j mcnt for highway robbery. He said he
thought it was for "conspiracy to rub."
He further admitted that lie did not
know the McCarrell hill did not ajiplv t.i
sueh crimes. He swore that Representa
tive Yates, Republican, of Philadelphia,
had told him and several others that lie
was going to desert Quay and vote for
Dalzeil because Senator David Martin,
of Philadelphia, had offered to make hiiu
a magistrate in that city.
Representative Yates "will go on the
stand and deny the story of Costollo as
a deliberate falsehood. Senator Mar
tin said he would not dignify Costello's
statement with n denial. Democratic
State Senator J. Henry Cochran, of Ly
coming, is greatly used at Costollo,
who dragged his (Cochran's) name into
the matter. Costollo is likely to suffer
for his notions when the prosecuting
committee gets down to work.
, EDITOR OTOOLE'S STATEMENT.
! Mr. O'Toole is editor of a Sera uton
paper that published three columns of an
article about members being compelled
to vote for Quay, and stated thai Judge
.v.ehibald, of Lackawanna county, hud
held an office over the head of Repre
sentative Macke.v as a chili to force him
into voting for Quay. The editor ad
mitted that his information had come
from Representative Mnekey, Republi
can, of Lackawanna. Representative
Mackey wilt be called to the stand this
week, and the revelations regarding this
judge can then he made,
j Editor O'Toole in his article made
some statements reflecting on Represent
ative Timlin. Democrat, of Lackawanna.
He said that Timlin's election was in
doubt, but that the Republican candidate
withdrew from the contest because it
wus understood that Timlin would help
Quay if necessary. O'Toole stated that
this was common tall; around Hcrunton,
sud that tlint was the basis for its pub
lication. The committee adjourned to
meet Monday night, wtTen ex-Senator
John J. Coyle, of Schuylkill eoiinly, was
given an opportunity to make a state
ment regarding his complicity in the at
tempted bribery,

I HAVE LOVED YOU SO.
| Sweet, I have loved you so these long
years past,
With all the passion of my ardent
youth
That o'er our lives a lovely glamour
cast;
I staked my honor on your ceaseless
truth.
And now, with dreamy wonderment I
miss
The clinging tenderness of long ago,
The gentle sympathy, the answering
kiss
• * ♦ And I have loved you so.
Dear, for one hour, one little hour to
night,
We two must face the weary length
of years
That looms before us, bare of all de
light,
And heralded by bitter, heart-drawn
tears.
Are we to break the ever-loosening
chain
That held us once so closely in its
keep;
Or will the sharpness of our present
pain
Be lulled by patience to a fitful sleep?
Dear, in your hands 1 leave our after
fate,
With but one prayer for all the old
love's sake;
If you should answer, it is all too late
To dream a dead affection should
awake,
Speak without bitterness. Around us
lie
The tender memories of long ago,
That witness mournfully our last good
by
* * * And I have loved you so.
THE YACHT ORCHID.
He was looking at May's portrait—a
lovely little miniature—when the
housemaid brought the. packet to him.
The girl entered timidly, with a fur
tive glance at her master, for whom
her heart was bleeding. But if her
timidity had arisen from the fear of
seeing some exhibition of terrible sor
row, she had alarmed herself needless
ly. No sign of tears, either past or
present, was visible in the young man's
eyes. They were hard and bright.
Hard, also, was his face, and the
clenched lips like adamant.
He took the thick envelope off the
salver, glanced at the clerky writing
and at the back, upon which wa3
stamped in blue letters, "W. Robinson
& Co." Then he flung it on the table,
and as the servant left the room the
sound of harsh laughter broke upon
her astonished ears. She fled to the
kitchen and with scared face whis
pered that she thought poor Mr. Ord
must be going mad.
Small wonder, perhaps, if he were!
He had written a few days before to
William Robinson for those patterns
that he might choose the materials for
I his wedding suit. What a weighty
matter that choice would have been!
May was so particular about what he
I wore. He used to be a little careless
about his dress once—going about in
: coats with creases in them, and farm
! er's boots. Then, in his endeavor to
gain May's approbation, he had over
done it in the opposite direction, sport
, ing collars of absurd height, and im
possible ties, enduring like a martyr
the pinch of patent leather shoes a size
, too small for him and getting himself
a little chaffed by appearing in suits
unmistakably in advance of the fash
ion.
I May, with gentle tact, had changed
all this. Never hurting her ardent
young lover by open condemnation of
his apparel, but by artful suggestions
had first roused him to an interest in
his attire, then toned down his some
what crude tastes, and finally schooled
him into that quiet perfection of dress
j ing which is the attribute of a gentle
man. He hud written for the pattern
from Robinson's a few weeks before
the important suit should be needed, as
he wanted to have May's opinion with
regard to the materials. Already the
little, laughing, gay girl had begun to
be more than a mere piece of loveli
ness for his admiring eyes to rest upon.
He consulted her about everything. 11c
[ had no sisters, and until the last year—
when the death of an uncle and the
inheritance of a fortune had made him
his own master—he had lived a soli
tary life in a remote country town
with the relation by whose sudden
death he was enriched. May Garden,
one of the first young ladies he came
across in town, had taken his heart by
storm. The mixture of frivolity and
| sound practical sense in her nature
: was exactly what he needed. The one
broke the crust of a certain morose
ness born of an unloved life, and the
! other steadied the propensities to ex
j travagance of taste and living which
■ unexpected wealth had not unnaturally
! aroused.
I After that laugh of harshness, which
had so startled his servant, Laurence
Ord went back to the study of May's
j portrait. It was indeed a veritable
| "May" face. Cheeks like young roses,
; hair brown as hawthorn twigs, lips
which were akin to the deep pink buds
of the apple blossom, and eyes
Tlnct with azure, like two crystal wells
That drink the blue complexion of the
skies.
These latter laughed back as if in
mocking merriment to the hard gray
ones which were looking down on
them. A sob of anguish broke in a
groan from Ord's lips. He tried to
tealize that those dancing eyes were
closed forever. Tided —tried as many
] and many a bereaved one has striven
in vain to do—to grasp the fact that
the dear lips would Dever speak again;
that no more until the day of resur
rection would so much as the faintest
color tinge ihe still white face. The
picture before him, bubbling over as
it was with life and mirth, gave the lie
to such a thought. The idea of May-
May. the merriest little person in the
world, lying cold and silent, was too
much for the young man who had last
seen her having a wild game with a
kitten on the deck of a friend's yacht*
He had dreaded that little cruise
more than he could say. He had all
but asked her not to go; but from this
he had refrained, deeming it mere sel
fishness.
"You don't mind me going, Laurie,
do you?" she had asked, when the trip
had been suggested, and with a little
pleading look in her eyes which was
irresistible, especially as he had not
yet the absolute right to give or with
hold permission. "I'll on ly be gone
three weeks, dear, and then—if you
still have a mind to—you may take me
and keep me forever, and forever, and
forever! A large order, Laurie! Shall
you want me for so long, do you
think?"
Ord, never a backward lover, had
answered that question by a quietus to
the sweet lips which spoke it.
He had gone to see her off on board
the Orchid, and she had stopped in the
middle of one of her airy whirls with
the kitten and a piece of scarlet rib
bon, to whisper, "Mind you have the
patterns ready by the time I come
back!"
The patterns were ready, but never
more thought poor heart-broken I>au
rie would May come back to him again.
"The yacht Orchid, which was wreck
ed last night on the dangerous reef out
side Alwyn Bay, is the property of a
Mr. Griffiths, of London. All on board
were saved except the unfortunate
whose body was washed ashore early
this morning. It has been identified
as that of Miss May Garden."
This was the paragraph which had
caught the eye of Laurence Ord as he
had run over his morning paper at
breakfast. Afterward he had come
upon the first and longer account, but
this was evidently a little paragraph
inserted when further information had
been received.
It was evening now, and as the slow
hours passed young Ord began to
writhe beneath the weight of anguish
which crushed his heart. His senses
had at first been blunted by the shock.
Now they were awakening to full con
sciousness of the immeasurable pain,
lie laid the miniature down and began
to walk about the room. He moved
things here and there. He wound the
clock—then his nerveless fingers drop
ped it with a crash. He let it lie where
it had fallen. He pulled up the blind
and looked up at the starry heavens.
But it was of no comfort to him to
think of May as dwelling among their
mysteries. The sight of them did not
bring leaps to his scorching eyes, or
soften one atom the hard agony which
held him in its merciless grip. He had
a sort of feeling that little May would
rather be with him. He began me
j chanically to settle the things on the
I table, to fold up the newspapers and
I open his. neglected letters. He was
| lighting his pain. The letters were read
! without his being a whit the wiser as
jto their contents. The packet of pat
| terns was the only thing that re
mained. With another of those pitiful
j laughs he ripped open the envelope.
, The laugh changed into an indescriba
j ble cry. There were no patterns in
i the envelope. Instead there were three
! thick sheets of paper, each of which
had "Walter Robinson & Son, Solicit
-1 ors, Alwyn Bay," printed upon it. The
I writing was a penciled scrawl —a dear,
i familiar scrawl. Laurence read it on
| his knees, sobbing out his thanks to
■ God. Three sentences and the signa
ture ..will sufficiently explain:
! "I was brought ashore half-drowned
i * * * Mr. Robinson, a lawyer, has
kindly given us shelter. * * * Mr.
Griffiths is addressing this. * ♦
i Your loving May."
Accounting for Cats' Tastes.
! "Did you ever notice the cats about
the oyster stands of the city?" asked
a gentleman who takes an interest in
zoology. "They are invariably as fat
as butter. That is because they get
plenty of shell-fish to eat, and, by the
way, the fondness of cats for that kind
of diet is a mystery which I'd Tike to
| hear some evolutionist explain. A cat
J will go crazy over a shrimp, and it is
| all the same whether it's a city cat or
a hayseed cat that never saw water
| except in a cistern. It's a taste born
j in them, like their fear of dogs, and
\ the question is, How the mischief did
iliey acquire it?
| "According to the evolution theory,
! such traits are inherited and traceable
| to conditions away back toward the
beginning of things. That would seem
I to indicate that the prima] cat was a
' fisher; but how Is one to reconcile the
j idea to the instinctive abhorrence of
j the tribe for water? Their craving for
! shellfish is certainly so pronounced,
| that there must he an excellent reason
behind it, and, altogether, it is quite
a pretty litte problem for some savant,
it is too hard for me."

"Dolce far uiente—n sweet doing
nothing. I shnll pin that to the cata
logue of memory's pictures painted
here."
She looked up at him and laughed.
Their eyes met, then parted, and a
vague sense of auticipated loss came
to him with the realization of her de
parture.
"You will forget all this. As for me,
I will only be one more in your col
lection," lie smiled, evidently a will
ing victim.
"Collection—of sticks?" she interro
gated laughingly.
"\ou are unkind," lie protested.
"You think, then, my remembrance
of a chariniug Winter, like pricked
bubbles, will vanish iuto space?"
Her face flushed and a shadow deep
ened her brown eyes. She caught her
breath as she crushed the laces of lier
gown against her side tlieu she went
on;
"We've seen each other every day.
if only for a few moments, during
nearly two months, meeting with per
fect frankness and. I thought, friend
ship. if it has all been insincere, I
shall forget."
"Insincere?" "You have made me
care too much. Hut in the North there
will be other interests in your life,
crowding nie out. until I shall fade
into the dim corridors of the past."
She noted the square, strong chin
and mouth and the little wrinkles that
caught around the smiling eyes. He
could thus lightly toss aside the recol
lection of drives, of wheeling down
shaded country roads which were, lie
had said, "like a benediction," and the
evenings when lie sang with delicate
insinuation and emphasis about "you
dear," and "love." All these thoughts
pricked her mind. If she could only
forget him!
"Kenlly, you seem most insistent to
become merely a polka-dot in my mem
ory. Don't you think, even then, I
could always spot you?'
"Jest if you must; hut stay, all. stay,
fair lady, on this perfect day! I prom
ise to do anything—say anything, if
you will not go."
"Yon wax quite poetical," she said,
sweetly. "There is the silver moon
for the second verse."
"Thanks for the suggestion"—rather
stiffly.
"Come; my hostess will think I am
lost."
"When a woman will, she will."
He reluctantly followed. They walk
ed home through the spicy, fragrant
pines, whose melancholy soughing till
ed them both with an undefined sad
ness.
"This must be good-by. I leave on
the early train to-morrow, and never
see people at the station. It makes me
blue."
She stoyd 011 the step * with one hand
xtended. Looking tip at the little re
bellious curls blown about under the
wide, black hat. he felt an irresistible
desire to touch tlieui, but only raised
her hand to his lips.
"Auf wiederselin. You have given
me many happy days, and 1 shall al
ways think of you in this lavender
gown, me violets of these saucy, nod
ling feathers—just as you stand. You
will surely come back—to us?"
"Perhaps."
Smiling bravely, she went wearily up
lie steps, then paused. Taking a few
>f the violets, she kissed them, and
'uruing, called to him. He came back.
Somewhat confused, she pinned them
m his coat.
"They really belong to you," she ex
olaincd.
The moon was hidden, and he could
lot see how pale she hud grown, (lo
ng to her room she took down a photo
graph. softly whispering: "To have
oved and lost!" Roth hands suddenly
Dressed against her throat, and the
iears blindly unheeded as she sull
ied Oil.
He knew he would miss her. She
tad been so Jolly; always ready for a
lance or a ride; knowing his favorite
HUHIC and songs. Now that was all
lver. Rummaging through his desk he
innlly found a little package of notes.
Leaning back in his chair, he carefully
-einoved the elastic around them and
eisurely read over the lines. Out from
lie sheets of one fluttered a withered
violet. It fell unnoticed to the floor.
In another lie found a tiny spray of
jessamine. She had worn a great
'.much of it one night. These few he
:iad begged for and mid been denied
mtil the next morning, when his ro
piest was granted with a few penitent
words. They had been at the opera,
uid under the magic of the music he
:00ked into her eyes, startled liy their
deep intensity, lie could see tlieui
aow. How really dear slie was! Ah,
well, she would come again.
He replaced the notvs, struck a
uatcli, carefully held It to a cigar, and
infolded the evening paper.
Itlttck Sew a I'oition.
The explorations of the Russian
Helenllst. Andrussow, have established
a very curious fact. The black sea,
which in some parts has a depth of
more than (1,500 feet, is poisoned by
sulphuretted hydrogen wherever the
water is deeper than 1,200 feet. This
accounts for tin' curious fact that there
iu no organic life below that depth,
excepting, perhaps, some bacteria of
very low order, impregnated with sul
phur. The eauses for this phenomen
on are explained by the quick outflow
of the fresh water through the Bos
phorous, while salt water coming from
the Mediterranean enters through a
deeper current into the depths of the
Black sea. The waters 011 the surface
are, therefore., controlled absolutely by
horizontal currents of considerable
force, and vertical currents which
might carry the noxious gases from
the bottom to the surface and fresh
oxygen from ..e surface to the bottom
are hardly ever noticeable. The water
at great depths is now so saturated
with sulphuric gas by the disiutega
tion of organic matter sinking to the
bottom by reason of its weight that 110
fish or other living being, which needs
oxygen for its organic system, can ex
ist beyond a stated depth.
