HER SONS CRAVE.
Widow PlucEsd Wild Flowers to Deco.
 rate lt. Was Arfastad.

Hartford, Aug S.-Widow Bridget Duffey's only son was drowned the other day. She, aged and penniiess, buried him in old North cemetery, and with him buried all hope.
 She went to his unmarked grave Sunday to moisten it with her tears, to pray kind heaven not to keep her from him long The widow gathered few wild flowers, coarse blossoms, that grew in corner of the cemetery sell dom visited and cast them on the mound where he lies who was so man ly, so loving.
 It is against the strict rules of tho cemetery to pluck anything that grows there. So the superintendent, who sees widows weeping and hears moth CTS wailing every day, had Mrs Duffey arrested and yesterday morning the superintendent was in court to urge that she be punished, and there was the little bunch of poor wild flowers she had plucked as proof of the helL- ous crime to which love and grief had driven her.
 And, as it happened, other flowers were there, for the whole town seemed to know that Widow Duffey had been arrested and why. Scarcely a wealthy woman who owns greenhouse but had sent big basket of rare blossoms to the widow. So had several florists. Half a dozen prominent criminal law yers appeared in court and told Mrs Duffey they would be proud to defend her. Their services were not needed; the prosecuting attorney positively re- fused to appear against her, and the judge promptly nolled the case.
 A sympathetic woman had sent her carriage to drive Mrs Duffey to her home, among the tenements on Gov ernor street. The widow filled the car riage with costly roses, was driven to the cemetery and made glorious the lit tie pile of earth with fragrant beauty.
 Not only the wealthy proved their sympathy. When the Widow Duffey returned to her tenement her neigh bors' children brought her flowers. less delicate, less odorous, than those from the greenhouses of the rich. but as welcome, as soothing to her sorrow. and her humiliation.

The position of nightmarshal should be discontinued at the next meeting of the council. It is luxury that Flag staff does not care to indulge in. The town does not need this extra officer any more than wagon does a fifth wheel. The money paid the night marshal for a months service would keep the street crossings clean for that time, and, besides, would add to the comfort and convenience of the public, and the night marshal does neither. creating this office, and but few req sons.
 s. J. Holsinger, manager of the Standard Iron company's properties at Meteor mountain, was here yester- day. The company have been drilling in the bottom of the crater for several months, and recently the drill struck something that it could not penetrate and the supposition is that it is frag- ment of the meteor. The drill was at the depth of 63O feet, and the hole had to be abandoned and a new one started which is now down several hundred feet The formation is soft sand stone saturated with water, and the only trouble in drilling is to keep the sand from coming in before the piping can be put down. The company have strong hope of finding the meteor for which they are searching.
