A MYSTERY CLEAKED UP.

The Remains of Richard Carr Found In
the Waters of the Bay.
The supposed mystery surrounding the
disappearance of Richard Carr, the potato
weigher, who has been missing from his
room in the Silver Star House since March
Goth, was cleared up last evening by the
discovery of his body in the bay at the foot
of Market street.
The remains were identified at the
Morgue by several intimate friends and
also by number of books and papers
found on the person. Carr was a native Of
New York and 81 years OF age. He has two
brothers and two sisters residing in Hum
boldt County. His friends are of the opin-
ion that he met several congenial spirits on
the night of his disappearance, and after
becoming intoxicated walked off the wharf
into the bay. He was of happy DISPOSE
tion and they therefore know no reason
why he should have taken his life.
