Augur of that place has come into possession of $1OO, ,OOO, the estate of three Virginia wo- men, now dead, to whom he gave pecuniary assistance when he was with the Union army in Virginia in "war times.'' The money was afterwards returned to him, but the ladies kept up correspondence until three years ago, when the last of the three sisters died, leaving will that their property was to be kept in trust for certain missing heirs for a certain term of years, and at the expiration of that time it was to go to MT. Augur. The time has now expired, and Mir. Augur will go South in few days to take possession of the property. Meantime he has contracted for the erection of t1O,OO0 house in Meriden. - Waterbury AmeTfc0n. The Late Ex-Mayer Osgood of Norwich.

The Utes Getting Ready for War

The Utes Getting Ready for War.
 DENVER, March 2O.-A special to the 7ri- 6une from Rawlings, Wyoming Territory, says that there is every reason to apprehend a strong outbreak on the part of the Ute h. dians as soon as spring opens. These Indians are now making unusually active preparations for secret movement of some kind. White men, who have talked with Utes, say the In- dians speak about fighting as soon as the snow disappears, but refuse to give any informa- tion as to whom they intend attacking. The military at White River are taking precau- tions for defense and have completed strong block-house

VennOr's Storn-The Weather Bureau
 Couldn't Slave it Off.
 CHICAGO, March 2O.-The great storm has at last subsided, and everybody in this city at least hopes it will be the last storm of this exceptionally long and severe winter. In many respects this storm, which set in Fri day night and continued until tonight, has been the worst of the winter. It was damp, saggy snow, driven by furious gale from thirty to forty miles an hour, drifting on top and melting beneath, sticking to everything and rendering locomotion in any manner i'm possible. The street car lines of the city were entirely closed and the cars were run into the barns. About noon to-day, after thirty hours of hard showing, there were signs of let up, but light snow continued during the afternoon, and although it is not showing at 8 p. m., appearances are that it is not entirely over yet. Two of the car lines were opened this afternoon, but the remainder of them still remain under snow and will not be opened until tomorrow The steam roads have been working bravely to keep their lines in operation. but have not succeeded to any great extent. The snow, however, is not over foot in depth except where df1fteQ, and within day or two at tho farthest all the tracks in this region can be cleared. The storm is said by the weather bureau to have come from Texas, but this is difficult to understand or believe, since for twenty four hours before it began and during the hardest part of it the wind blew from the east and northeast. In fact, the weather bureau gets very little credit in these quar- ters, since it predicted for Sunday and Mon day light and clearing weather Vennor is given all honors, he having foretold it exact ly months before. From special reports re- ceived here, the storm appears to have ex- tended with equal severity from Missouri river east to Buffalo. and from St. Paul south to Memphis, on the southern line rain and sleet taking placs of snow.

The arrivals yester- day numbered 794 by two steamers-the Waesland from Antwerp. which brought 646 in the steerage, and the Assyria, from Gibral- tar, 148. The latter were all Italian peas- ants, and they presented a motley appear ance as they stood in groups about the TO- tunda at Castle Garden in their picturesque dresses and curious belongings, in various stages of dirt and garlic, chattering in their native tongue and looking after their belong ings of musical instruments and monkeys.

 All the reservoirs upon which the city has to draw for its supply of water are now pretty well filled. Two of them, the upper and lower, are overfowing. The large new reservoir, at Pennington, with capacity of GOO, 900, 900 gallons, is nearly full, and it is within bounds to say that the quantity of water stored in the four reservoirs will not vary much from 1, 1aOOO 900, 600 gallons fThis ought to carry us through the year.

message of approval and pledge of active support to every brutal tyrant in the civilized wofld, whose desire and purpose is to repress and crush out every principle and sentiment that makes such deck ~ation of Indepef1- dence impossible; aiid
 Resolved, that we condemn the repeated expressions official and otherwise of the friendship of the American people for the despotic government of Russia as disgracefu ul and dahgerous in the extreme, as it encourages tyrahny and oppression ev6rywhefe, and cor respondingly discourages every effort of the oppressed to secure for themselves these rights and that freedom which the American people so proudly boast, and for the mainte- nance of which they loudly proclaim their readiness to sacrifice their property and lives, and,
 Resolved, that ouI only regret connected with the execution of the Czar is that the destructive force of explosion that destroyed his miserable life did not include in it's de- strtictive scope every tyrant whose existence imperils or prevents the progress of human freedom and the enjoyment of the rights re- ferred to in the preceding resolutions, and,
 Resolved, that the welfare of the human race demands not only the destruction of the Czars, Emperors, Kings, Bismarcks and other oppressors, but also the destruction of the system of society that breeds them and makes their tyranny possible and which makes the world one vast armed company of butchers organized to destroy human life and oppress every aspiration of the people for liberty, equality and fraternity.

Memorial Services for the na,a


 NEW YORK, March 20.-Requiem services in memory of the dead Czar Alexander the Second were held this morning in the Russo Greek chapel at ten o'clock. Mass was cele- brated. At this service there were only pres ent the Russian consul general and vice con- sul and members of the regular congregation. At eleven o'clock, after the conclusion of the mass, the general public were admitted. The little chapel was crowded. There were pres ent besides the consul general and vice con- sul all the other consuls stationed in this city. All appeared in full uniform. The little chapel and it's altar was heavily draped with mourning. On little table standing without the doors on an altar was placed cruci1x and before it stood burning taper. Before the taper was plate containing rice boiled with honey mingled with raisihs and sugar On another plate was incense and small book of prayer. The grains of rice are used as typical of the resurrection of the body the honey, su gar and raisins to.remind those present of the promised land. The doors of the altar opened and Rev. Nichols Bjerring, clad in his priestly robes, began the recita- ton of the service of mourning according to the ritual of the orthodox Russian church. With the close of the service the taper on the table was extinguished by the priest.
