OBITUARY.
Death of Mrs. Margaret Leahy.

Death of Mrs. Margaret Leahy. 2. Mrs. Margaret Leahy died suddenly yes- terday morning at her home in Little Falls, N. Y., aged seventy four years. The sad news of her death was surprising to her relatives in this city, as Mrs. Leahy
 has recently enjoyed excellent health.
 Notwithstanding she had passed the merid-
 ian of the average life, she retained an ap-
 pearance which indicated that she was
 nearly score of years younger than her
 actual age. -,...-
 Matthew w. Leahy of this city, son of the deceased, made recent visit to his mother soon after his return from his twelve months stay in South America, when she informed him she never enjoyed | better health. Other sons and daughters of the deceased are: Thomas Leahy of Ra cine, Wis; Miss Mary, John Leahy and Daniel M. Leahy of Little Falls; Mrs Thomas M. Kenna of the Selden house Mrs. Henry T. Downs of Meriden, and
 Mrs. John Neville, who formerly resided | in this city.
 Mrs. Leahy and her late husband were 1 interested in the welfare and general ad vancement of Little Falls, where they were creditably known in consequence of thei1 l long residence there.

A sufficient time having elapsed Detective Guyer returned to this city yesterday morning and on the authority of the acquisition papers issued by Governor Bulkeley Deputy Sheriff Hig- gins delivered Decker over to Detective Guyer who took him back to Philadelphia on the 1 80 train.

THE BnAnFonD MURDER.
Coroner Mix Says Estrom is Ul
 doubtedly the Murderer.

Coroner Mix Says Estrom is Un.
 doubtedly the Murderer.
 Coroner Mix, accompanied by two stem ographers and all interpreter. visited the jail yesterday afternoon and continued his investigation into the death of Charles Walstrom, who was murdered at Bran ford on Friday night. The three Films, in custody for murder, were examined with the view of ascertaining, if possible, which of the three hurled the iron bar which killed Walstrom.
 The result of his investigation convinced him that Peter Estrom is the murderer, and the coroner thinks there is sufficient evidence to convict Estrom. Peter Ander- son and William Watson had nothing to do with the crime. Estrom will have a | preliminary examination before Justice | Zink at Branford to-day. It now appears | that the death blow was intended for l thought was the murderer.
 | THE BLOW WAS NOT INTENDED FOR WAL sTROM.
 The story of the murder has startling ! feature in the fact that the deadly blow l was not intended for Charles Walstrom, the man who was murdered, but for Peter Anderson, the principal man who has been l charged with the crime. The details of the murder, as fully proven to the satisfaction l of the coroner, are as follows:
 The Swedes and Films had been cele- brating their Fast day holiday and in the 1 evening had drank in various saloons. They had three rows during the carousal. 1 The last fight was in Linsley's saloon be- 1 tween Peter Estrom and Peter Anderson as principals, though their friends joined ! in to some extent. When they were l turned out of the saloon they continued the wrangle. The two factions were in front of the tenement adjoining the Lins. ley hotel when Estrom picked up an iron bar three feet long and half an inch in diameter, the end of skinner bar used to remove slag from molten iron in the foundry, and with it he rushed at Ander- son. With great force he hurled the bar. spear-like, at his antagonist. It struck I Charles Walstrom, who was just behind l Anderson.
 | Death was instan taneous, for the weap on striking the forehead slightly left ot the center made clean cut hole, penetrat ed to the depth of four inches and shatter ed the rear of the skull. Walstrom fell or his back lying with his arms outstretched and the heavy rod of iron held firmly by the skull stuck straight up into the air. 4 clear cut round wad of the hat and hal lining was driven by the bar into the skull and was taken therefrom by the medica examiner.
 Estrom, Peter Anderson and William Watson are now in New Haven jail, and l the latter two will not be discharged unti l the examination is held in Branford. An derson and Matson will be witnesses in the trial. Oscar Peterson and Henry Ander son, the two men who were acquitted Sat urday by Coroner Mix were arrested yes ] terday morning by Constable Eads on charge of breach of the peace so that they may be held as witnesses. These mel l were employed in Hammers iron foundry but were discharged from the service on Saturday night

West Haven Notes.

Elm street is going through another up heaval and the citizens and the driving public hope that it will be the last. The West Haven horse railroad company have large force laying the second track, and the borough authorities have been lower ing the grade between Water street and the junction of Elm street and Kimberly avenue.
 There is deep trench in front of H. E. Nettleton's store, and the following an-
 nouncement appears on sign fastened to l hitching post in front of his store: "This l canal will be open for traffic to all crafts
 not drawing over three feet of water until l May 1st. N. B.-Ship stores furnished at short notice and at reasonable rates. Measles are having qnite run in the l borough. The editor of the Budget has 1.-two children who have been sick with them, but are now recovering, and there are several more children in the village l who are still down with the disease. Mrs. Adeline Marsh has bought build l ing lot on Union street, near the corner of
 Main street. MT. Littney is to do the car | penter work.
 MT. A. Brown has bought the late Dea- | con Marsh house on the corner of First l avenue and Center street and is having it | repaired and painted.
 The fences in front of the resi- dences of Clarence E. Thompson and l Mrs. E1neline Smith on Elm street \ have been removed and it improves the | appearance of their lawns very much. The | borough officials are contemplating good many Improvements for the borough this spring and they are now trying to have the sidewalks put in decent shape when
 needed. There have been great many ! complaints made of the dilapidated condi- tion that some of them have been in the past six months.
 The roads are in very good condition, | with the exception of Elm street, which | will be put in shape as soon as the horse l railroad tracks are finished. Travel was increased greatly the past week and l many fine turnouts are now daily seen on our streets and avenues leading to the shore.
 Rents are in great demand and ex- | ceed the supply. It would be good | investment for the real estate owners to 1 have more houses built on their vacant lots.
 Luther Fowler has been very sick at his
 residence on First avenue nearly all the time the past winter, but is now recover ing slowly and his many friends in the borough hope to see his familiar form on the streets before long,

A Game of Ball Yesterday at the Yale Field.

A crowd of about 100 only went out te the Yale field yesterday afternoon to sec the ball game between the Yale varsity and freshmen teams. The game resulted iu the score of il to 6 in favor of the varsity nine. The Yale team will be obliged to improve most decidedly if yes terday's playing may be taken as 0 fail sample, for errors on their part were many, thougii they had the..freshmen bat tery.
