Artificial Flowers.

Artificial Flowers.
No longer is the wearing of artificial
bowers otherwise than upon the hat
or bonnet considered bad form, says g.
New York fashion authority. It was
an inconseQuent restriction, but one
that has nevertheless ruled for many
years. Now artificial howers-violets,
rosebuds, primroses, hedgeroses and
many other blossoms-copy nature so
perfectly that they are largely used
TO decorate the head and neck, in pref
erence to natural blooms that fade
and wither often before the dance or
other entertainment is half over. Some
of the dainty French ruches for the
neck are made wholly Of fine flowers,
but these, of course, are for very
special occasions. The majority Of
these accessories show a combination
of lace chiffon, flowers and ribbon.

was over Detective Sawyer started down

be Grace Fleming, the S-year-old daugh-
ter of the accused woman.

The detectives went to the Colonial ho-
tel later and TO the rooms which Mrs.
Fleming had occupied. When they came
out, they brought with them "a package
about the size of a cigar box, which they
took 70 the station.
After proving that Mrs. Bliss was poi
sonod by antimony administered to her in
the clam broth, which the preliminary re-
port mado to Coroner O'Mcaghor by Pro
fessor Walter H. Scheele seems TO make
certain, the most important proof for tho
prosecution TO offer win be that Mrs.
Fleming sent her mother that clam broth.
The Chain of Evidence.
The facts as far as thoy are developed
show that some time after p. IN. last Fri
day ON which day clam broth was served
TO the guests at the Colonial hotel without
injurious results to any of thom an order
was received in the dining room, which
was in charge Of Miss Keating, from
Mrs Fleming's rooms that a quantity of
the clam broth should be sent up. The
clam broth was taken to the rooms of
Mrs Fleming, and, according to the rule
prevailing in the house, the order for it
was taken with it, TO be signed by the re-
cipient so that it could be charged to the
proper account
II is stated that the police know who
the servant was who took the &am broth
to Mrs. Fleming's rooms but they are
mute on this point and have ordered the
hotel people to give out no more informa-
ton in the case 1t Is known, though,
that the police have the order for the clam
broth, which is proof Of its being left at
Mrs Flcming's room, and it is said that
the order is signed by the S-year- old child
Grace.
The drug stores of Harlem have been
searched for a clerk who can recall a sale
Of tartar emetic TO Mrs. Fleming, but Po-
lice Captain Thompson Of the West One
Hundred and Twenty fifth street station
said last night that this search had been

that tartar emetic can be bought in any
drug store without prescription, and is
commonly sold TO adults who can give an
Intelligent idea Of the purpose for which
they wish It, and hence IL is very hard to
trace particular sale. Work in this line
will not be abandoned, though.

FOR PATROL SERVICE At OCEAN CITY

The National Government Requested TO
Increase the Life Saving Service Along
the Coast In the Neighborhood OF That
Resort
OCEAN CITY, Nd Sept. In support
Of the request which has been made TO
the National Government to Increase the
life saving patrol service on the coast ia
the nelghborhood OF Ocean City, the
examples OF number of disasters which
have occurred there have been cited.
On January 10, 1888 at 3 an, the
schooner Sallie W. Kay, from Somer's
Point, N J b., loaded with coal aud bouud
from Baltimore to Boston, struck the
beach. Eve and one half miles north Of
Ocean City, where there is a strip Of coast
unpRtrolled by life guards. A storm
was prevailing aud the echooner's
situation WAS not discovered until II q.
m, on the day she struck.
Meanwhile the crew remained lashed TO
the lbbnon and suffered extremely from
the ice and waves. lt WAS not until 3
m. that the liie-savers reached the Kay
One Of the sailors preferring death to his
snhsrings threw of his boots and coat
and jumped overheard IN vain attempt
TO reach the shore. His body was found
two days later about fifteen miles
south OF the wreck An examina-
tion was made by Superintendent
II. ID Welker. wh5 exonerBted Captain
West and the ere Of life savers, AZ Il
was not their fault that their numbers
were so few as not to be able Co patrol
the coast properly.
The conditions ave still such that II a
vessel strikes the besch little after 2 or
10 u m. she could not be reached by the
life savers under favorable circumstances
until seven or eight hours later.
About four years after the wreck OF
, the Kay an italian bark grounded 40 the
same place. The bark was not reached
by the life'savers until eight hours sitter
she got into the breakers Fortunately
Urecking crew which had been working
on the schooner Ruth Carlisle, about
half mile 10 the southwark. rendered
assistance TO the bark before the life
saving pairolman arrived.
The schooner Gay Thomas, a year later.
was wrecked few hundred ysrds from
the same place The crew Of the Thomas
was able to reach the shore IN yawl.
Other wrecks Of the same kind might
be cited TO further emphasize the i'm
portance Of the request for additional
lifeguards. Sailboats on Isle Of Wight
bay are imperiled by the inadsquacy Of
the present system
Last Winter Joseph Hail. while driv-
ing from Ocean City toward North
Beach life station, lost his way and was
benumbed by the cold. His horse walked
out on the Ice and broke through. being

M the Providence Gas company went 20
their death in the cellar Of the Westiield

gle Brook street.
The accident was peculiar one. For
several days leaking gas has been detected
in the holder, and the company sent six
men and foreman to repair the leak.
The leak came from defective valve con-
Meeting the inch main which sup
plies the Westleld street holder with gas
from the main holder on Globe street.
The men had just returned from dinner,
and going down the wooden stairs which
lead from the entrance of the holder to
the cellar below began to work on tho
broken valve They disconnected 10 and
tied a cloth bag about the large main ex-
tending In from the street, when the bag
gave way, and an immense volume of gas

Of them they dropped down dead with the
exception of one, who managed TO croop
up the stairs, where the fresh air enabled
him to recover sufficiently to reach the
street.
Immediately after it became known
that the men were there and unable to
get out willing hands attempted TO go TO
the rescue, but nothing could be done
while the escaping gas rushed up the
stairs. Foreman Charles Allen did all he
could, but there was no cutoff in the
street. and he knew not what way TO turn.
The police were quickly ON the spot and
roped off Westneld street, and Medical
Examiner Palmer stood in the doorway
TO prevent anybody from going down tho
stairs.
Tho Grave Tn the Street.
At the foot Of The stairs lay, or half re-
clined, one of tho men, who had almost
reached the bottom stair when he was
overcome and sank back, with look Of
anguish on his oountenance and his hands
pressed into his knees as II In the last
throes of horrible yet unavoidable end
ing Of human existence.
Finally the gas company sent agang Of
men Go dig up the street in front of the
terrible grave to get at the main shutod
further along, it being understood that no
other means of shutting off the gas could
be attained, and even then it meant two
hours work.
Foreman Allen took hand I'm the ex-
cavation and was overcome before the dig
ging had proceeded far. He was taken 10
