W4LLINGFORD.

Miss Margaret A. Callahan, young
est daughter of Edward Callahan of
Colony street, died at o'clock yester-
day afternoon after only a short illness.
Last Friday evening an operation was
performed by DR.. Russell of New Ha-
ven, assisted by Drs. McGaughey and
Wilson. The case was found to be an
aggravated one and but faint hopes
Were entertained by the doctors of her
recovery, although everything that was
possible was done. She failed to rally
and yesterday passed away, much to
the sorrow of her large circle of friends
and relatives The case is a very sad
one and her untimely death is regretted
by all, She was a very prepossessing
young lady and an accomplished musi-
clan. She was for two years at Mount
st. Joseph's convent in Hartford study
ing music and graduated only about
three years ago and since then had
studied music with celebrated masters
until she was considered one of the
best musicians in this place. She was
of a very amiable disposition and was
greatly admired and respected by all
with whom she came in contact with
and the news of her death saddened the
hearts of her many acquaintance when
it was learned last evening. She would
have been twenty-one years Of age on
the 21st day of May. The arrangements
for the funeral were not completed last
evening.

JOHN ". DUYcAN;s DEATH.

A Prominent Brantord Man-Wns Mem
ber of the New Haven First NJ. E. Church.
Branford, April 6.-John w. Duncan
died at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. f. Beach, at Queach farm, sun
day afternoon about 1880 o'clock, after
suffering for a number of years with a
complication OF diseases. He was able
to be about until week ago last Fri
day. He moved to Branford in 1870, and en-
tered the grocery business with Charles
Il. Bradley, under the firm name of
Duncan G. Bradley, and for number
of years did very successful business,
after which he sold out and went to
Ansonia and engaged in the same line
of business, but remained only short
time there. Then he returned to Bran
ford and went into business again with
his former partner, but remained only
few months. He then went to
Queach,, and bought a farm. His
health began to fail and he was obliged
to give up business entirely. He sold
his farm and moved to New Haven,
where he remained until about five
weeks ago, when he returned to Bran
ford for the third time to spend his
remaining days with his only daughter.
Mr. Duncan leaves a wife and one
daughter to mourn his loss. He was in
his sixty-ninth year, was an active
member of the First Methodist church,
New Haven, and was highly respected.
The funeral services will be held from
his late residence, Wednesday after
noon, at 8 o'clock. The interment will
be in the Center cemetery. The SER
vices will be conducted by the pastor of
the First Methodist church of New Ha-
Ven, assisted by Rev. DR.. Dewitt Of the
Congregational church here.

Speculation on the Exchange Was Strong
and Higher.
New York, April. 6,-Speculation at
the stock exchange was strong and
higher during the early session and
weak and lower in the late afternoon
trading. The improvement at the start
was equivalent to u to ~ per cent,
Manhattan, Tennessee Coal and Iron,
Colorado Fuel and the grangers being
most prominent in the upward move
ment. Manhattan advanced to 1101a on
reports that negotiations were pro-
crossing looking to the leasing Of the
road to the New York Central. Direc-
tor Sage, while admitting that there
was something in the talk about deal,
refused to give any of the details. Ten
nessee Coal and Iron, Illinois Steel and
other iron aud steel stocks We're in re-
quest on the improved outlook for the
trade. Tennessee Coal and Iron adj
vanced 1% to 80, Illinois Steel 1as to Il,
and Colorado Fuel "a to 30A.
In the Industrial group Sugar was
conspicuous for strength, rising to 1875,
while Tobacco was feverish at 87ss@S9.
In the late trading weakness prevailed
and the early gains were generally lost,
the market having been adversely af-
fected by the passing Of the Cuban res
olutions by the house; reports of serious
damage to wheat in the western states,
and the continued strength of sterling
exchange The engagement of $S00,00O
gold for shipment to Europe to-mor-
row, announced early In the day, had
no influence on speculation. In the re
action Manhattan, the grangers, Ten
nessee Coal and Iron, Colorado Fuel
and General Electric scored the heavi-
est losses.
The market closed weak in tone. Net
changes show declines Of A@15s per
