POLICE COURT.
Domestic Troubles Rehearsed Before
Judge Cowell.

Domestic Troubles Rehearsed Before
Judge Cowell.
John Hurley has been married four
years and his wife, so she testified in
court this morning. has led a most
miserable life since. Yesterday Hurley
tried to choke her, and then tore up the
carpets to sell them to raise money
with which to leave town. She and her
child have had scarcely anything to eat
and for days there has been no fire in
the house. Her husband told her that he
did not wish to support her and would
spend term in Jail if necessary. Judge
Cowell sentenced him to Jail for thirty
days without costs.
Mrs Mary Dillane was charged with
keeping a disorderly house. Officers
NoOnan, Thomas, Pagan, Sullivan,
Byrnes and Reed were the witnesses
against her. One of the officers went
to the house, which Is situated on Penn
berton street, to arrest one of her sons.
The youth escaped through the window
almost naked and led the officer a chase
up Fuller street. He escaped but was
allowed to go on condition he leave town.
In the house was a gang of dissolute
women. The testimony of the officers
went to show that the place has been
the resort of thieves and drunkards and
has been a cause of terror to the police
and neighborhood. Mrs Dillane, who is
an aged woman :begged for mercy.
She promised to do better if given a
chance. The unfortunate woman is de-
voted to her two boys and refuses them
nothing, even when they bring to her
house toughs and thieves just from New
Haven jail. Judge Cowell in sentencing
her to 80 days in Jail, SAID that he could
not do otherwise, las it was a we'll known
fact that she kept school at her house
for the training of thieves.
A man whose name we omit through
sympathy flor his family, was charged
with assault on his wife. He is good
mechanic, but has drank so much lately
that he is now in deplorable condition
with delirium tremens. He was sent to
the town house for thirty DAYS,

sTAUR Is TRUE BLUE

Gives the Lie to the Report That He
Had Gone Over to the Enemy.
New MILFORD, March 10.-Nicholas
Staub, state comptroller, is very much
worked up over the charge made against
him that he had gone back on his party
by recognizing Morgan G. Bulkeley as
Connecticut's chief executive. He saws
there is no truth in any of the asser-
tions made in the newspapers to this
effect, and says most emphatically that
he does not recognize Buckley as
governor and that he would resign his
office if he had done so. Mr. Staub saws
he was kept busy Sunday and Monday
answering the questions of his towns
people as to why he had gone back on
the democrats by recognizing BulkeIey.
He says that the statement has gained
such credence that the republican papers
are pattlng him on the back, while the
democratic papers are going for him
hot. He wants to give the lie to the
whole business. He is with his party
heart and soul in refusing to recognize
Buckley. Nothing has come up as vet
which makes him directly recognize or
refuse to recognize Bulkeley. But should
he be called to come out squarely against
him in case an order from the governor
should come directly to him, he says that
he shall have eminent counsel engaged
for the emergency.

LEFT HIS TRAIN.
The Reason For Engineer HAYDEN,
DISCHARGE,

The Reason For Engineer HaydensS
Discharge.
The Danbury News says: Engineer
Hayden is, or rather was until Saturday,
one of the oldest and most efficient en-
gineers in the New England's employ.
When he reached Sandy Hook Satur-
day night he had been upon his train
twenty seven hours, and was hardly
able to run his engine. At Sandy Hook
the order came to do something addi-
tional, and Hayden promptly tele-
graphed that he was unable to as he
was exhausted, and hardly able to finish
his trip.
"You must" came the answer from
the superintendent's Office.
Hayden stepped from the cab, and
took the next train for Hartford, and his
engine stood at Sandy Hook until
another engineer was sent to take
charge of it.
The men have long protested against
the long hours, but to no purpose, as the
answer is invariably an order to do the
work or consider themselves discharged.
The majority of the accidents on the
road are due to the fact that the men
are worn out. ii

Lightning.
BIRMINGHAM, March 10.-The heavy
rain last night raised the water in the
river six or seven feet, The trestle of
the Derby road at Shelton was badly

''rhe Seven Ages.o
DixeyS latest production ''The Seven
Ages" is held to be a still further i'm
provement on the average burlesque
performance. AS its theme might imply
it is not wholly burlesque but a carica-
ture of burlesque, satire, caricature and
comedy. In taking Shakespeare's sub
lime soliloquy of 1.-The Seven Ages as
an idea for a burlesque performance Mr.
Dlxey undertook very ambitious task.
The critics seem to be agreed, however,
that in this his latest success he does the
most artistic and most legitimate work

Crater Mountain, on the side OF
which all the small pieces Of meteorlo
iron were found, rises abruptly 432 feet
above the surrounding plain. It's
"crater" is nearly circular, and the in
terror walls are so steep that animals
once entrapped within cannot escape
but leave their bleached bones at the
bottom. The walls, formed of sand
stone and limestone, are uniformly of
uplifted at an angle of about 10, while
the bottom is much below the sur
rounding plain. Still, as no lava,
obSidian, or other volcanic products
are found, it is impossible to consider
it true crater.
Prof Gilbert of the United States
Geological Survey said that he had
long regarded the so-called craters on
the surface of the moon as the result
Of the impact Of masses on its sur
face. This crater might have been
produced by the impact of an enor-
nous mass of meteOrsc iron at this
point. Another gentleman strongly
supported this view, saying that the
diamonds at Kimberly were all found
by digging at the bottom of similar de-
pressions. II these theories be true,
diamonds Of commercial value should
be found in Arizona, Mexico, and New
Mexico, for no region in the world has
furnished so many masses Of meteoric
iron.
One Of the scientists held that the
presence of diamonds, which are
believed to be the result Of the dccom-
position of organic matter, was an
other proof Of Sir w. Thompson's
theory that life first came to the earth
on a meteoric mass.

DIAMONDS FROM THE SKIES.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
In paper read before the geologists
i'm session recently at Washington by
Prof. a. E. Foote Of this city an ac-
count was given of the discovery in
Arizona of so-called vein of "natlve
iron, - said to be two miles long and
fortyyards wide, by a prospector who
had "a mine to sell" Prof, Foote,
when called upon 10y Chicago capita
lists to Investigate the value of this
'natlve iron mine" at once said there
could be no vein, for it was meteorlc,
simply "star dust" On visiting the
locality mass weighing POI pounds,
completely perforated in three places,
and near it another, weighing 154
pounds, were obtained on the open
plains. Nearly two miles away 13l
other small pieces of metallic iron
were secured. These were accom-
panied by nearly 200 pounds ofoxidlzed
fragments, indicating That large
mass, weighing from 500 to GOO pounds,
had been so oxidized while passing
through the air that it burst before
reaching the earth's surface. A mass
sent to Prof. Koenlng of this city was
examined, with the following results.
In cutting the iron for study it had
been found very hard, IL taking a day
and half to analyze a section, and
destroying a number of chisels in the
process. When the mass-on the ex-
terror it could not be distinguished
from other pieces of meteoric iron,
was divided twas found that the cut
ting apparatus had fortunately gone
through a cavity. In the attempt to
polish the surface so as to bring out
the characteristics, Widmannstattan
figures, DIR. Koenig received word that
the emery wheel in use had been
ruined.
On examination he found that the
exposed cavities contained diamonds
which cut through polished corundum
as easily as a knife will cut through
gypsum. The diamonds exposed were
small, black, and, of course, of but lit
Tie commercial value, but mineralogi- |
,ally they are of the greatest interest, |
-he presence of such in meteorites
having been unknown until 1897, when
5wo Russian mineralogists discovered
races of diamond in meteoric mix
ure ofoliyineand bronzite. Granules
# amorph0us carbon were also found
n the cavity, and small quantity of
his treated with acid had revealed a
minute white diamond of one-half a
or about one-aftieth of an
nch in diameter.

Socorro Advertiser: The expert
ments conducted in this city to induce
rainfall by the use of explosives have
been successful beyond our expecta-
tions, as for a fact we had very little
faith in limited supply Of ground ex-
plosives, and when it was determined
that the balloon would not go up, our
hope for rain was well nigh nothing.
However, it was determined to try
the experiment, with the result that
heavy rains have fallen all around us,
and the rain clouds still hover around.
About two hours after the first charges
weB1red clouds began to gather in
the western horizon and within seven
hours rain had fallen on the other side
Of the SOcOrro mountains, but few
miles from where the experiments
were conducted, That evening dark
clouds gathered from every directions;
being accompanied by terrific winds
1t could be seen that rain was falling
all around US, but only few drops fell
here Wednesday evening. The rain
clouds continued to hang around, and
Friday several slight but refreshing
showers fell here. In the trial, they
lsed 25o pounds Of Hercules powder,
