DEATH OF DR. D. c. HEAVEN
 WORTH

Occurred Saturday Afternoon-A We'll
 Known and Popular Physician--A
 Graduate Of Yale Medical School
 Funeral From the Late Residence To-
 Morrow Afternoon.
 The death of Dr. Daniel Carroll Leav- enworth occurred Saturday afternoon at his late residence, 70 Howe street. Dr. LeaVenWorth was attacked by a stroke of paralysis last Thursday af ternoon and did not rally. He was about sixty-nine years of age and was one of the best known physicians in the city. He was born in Woodbridge and came to New Haven before he was of age After coming here he began to learn the carriage makers trade, but soon gave that up and opened drug store under the New Haven house. In 1861 he began the study of medicine and was graduated from the Yale Medical school in the class of 1865. Since that time he had been practicing his profes- sion on Park street. Several years ago failing health, caused by his arduous professional duties, compelled him to abandon his profession. and he had SlllCe lnSI liNctl d iellItu IlIc, dtlNlu- ing to the care of his varied property interests During his latter years he passed much of his time in reading and study, and was exceptionally well in formed concerning the current events of the day.
 He leaves a wife and one son, Charles, student in Yale.
 Dr. Leavenworth had a large circle of friends, and was widely known in the medical profession, being consider ed one of the most conscientious mem- bers of his profession. Always ready at all hours of the day or night to at tend his patients, this close attention to duty had a tendency to weaken his constitution. which required his retire. ment from active professional life He was a member of the First Methodist church and attended there regularly

FINANCIAL NOTES

Of Local Interest-HiGh Grade Bonds in Demand-Dividends AnnOunced-The New Stock of the Telephone Co-New Haven Bank Clearings.
 For the week past the general invest ment business has been rather dull. High grade municipal bonds never commanded higher prices; dealers com pete for any new issue of large mu- nicipality. This class of bonds now pays the investor from 3A per cent, to 3% per cent. Good railway mortgages are also in some demand. Speculative stocks as a rule have declined a little, investors holding aloof until the earn ings of these companies show a consid- erable improvement.
 Swift & Co.'S books closed last Friday for a quarterly dividend of 11& per cent, payable January 4,
 The transfer books of the New Haven Gas Light company and the New Ha ven Water company closed on the 18th inst. The former will pay a quarterly dividend of 21a per cent. January 1; the latter a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. January ?.
 To-day the transfer books of the fol- lowing corporations close for divi dends:
 Berkshire railroad, 11a per cent, pay able January |
 Naugatuck railroad, per cent, pay able January ?.
 New Haven and Derby railroad, 2 per cent, payable January }.
 Consolidated Rolling Stock, F per cent, payable January ,.
 Subscriptions to new stock of the Southern New England Telephone company expired on the 18th and were generally taken by the old stockhold- CTS. The company now has the field well covered, and the plant which has been greatly improved In the last five years is earning and paying a per cent. dividend for the stockholders who have no taxes to pay on the investment.
 The matter of increasing the capital stock Of the New Haven Water com pany will probably not come up in the near future, though the company i'll the past, and will probably in the flu ture, increase its plant to keep up with the growth of the town and city.
 On Wednesday the Welsbach Light company will pay a dividend of $l per share, which is equivalent to 10 per cent.
 CIearings and balances of the New Haven banks for the week ending De- cember 19, and for the corresponding week of last year, are furnished us by the secretary of the New Haven clear ing house, by days, as follows:

 The committee reported the following resolutions, which were adopted:
 Resolved That we recommend to the association that at least for the next two years it's annual meetings be held on some day not a school day, as for example, on Lincoln day, or on the Friday following Thanksgiving.
 Resolved That we recommend that it be the future policy of the ass'oci- ation to encourage the formation of local associations throughout the state and that the discussion of methods and of other detail be relegated to these local associations, the state association giving it's attention to the larger out look over the professional field"

want to be home for Christmas dinner
with mother"
During the hours after daylight the
train was cheered at every station. In
the train sheds at Chicago the major
returned the salutations of hundreds
AS he passed through the station a
crowd OF several hundred cheering and
shouting people rushed after him.
Mr.. McKinleys evening was devoted
to receiving visitors, as the afternoon
had been. A number of place hunters
tried to gain access to the president
elect during the evening but were turn
ed away by the police.
With the exceptions of half hours
drive in an open buggy with his host,
he did not leave the McWilliam's resi-
dence during the afternoon.

indignant when they heard General
| Maceo had crossed the trocha and en-
tered Havana province by land that
| they had determined to recall General
Weyler and send General Marin from
Porto Rico.
! 1t is an open secret in political, MILL
| tary and diplomatic circles here that
anyhow General Weyler will only be al
| lowed to remain in Cuba if he promptly
! and signay crushes the insurrection in
Havana and Pinar de Rio provinces and
| puts a stop to the abuses, corruption and
| extravagant waste in the commissariat
and army contracts to which the gov
| ernment has called his attention sharp
| ly. He has been warned also that he
must satisfy those planters who ask to
be permitted to resume work on sugar
and tobacco plantations ard to avoid
giving grounds by his severity for such
claims for damages as not only America,
but England, France and Germany are
pressing.
Gen. Weyler seems to be aware that
he is losing favor in Spain, with the pub
more SO at court He istrying to create
lie, with the government and even
an impression that the Spanish parties
in Cuba are not so dissatisfied with his
military and political conduct as are the
press and people at home.
Premier Canovas feels bound to per-
severe IN his war and repression policy,
without making any except official and
unofl1cial overtures to the United States
government so long as Gen. Weyler and
the Spanish parties in Cuba hold out
nope of early results from the effects of
Maceo's death upon the insurgents. But
the patience of the rest of the govern
ment and the nation Is we'll nigh ey-
hausted.
III nothing decisive occurs in Cuba by
the middle of .7Snuary Premier Canovas
most likely will recall Weyler and an
nont in his place either Ger. Marin or
Senor de Azcarraga, the minister OF war,
and then change his policy in Cuba with
view OF coming to an understanding
with the United States government be-
FORE the close of Cleveland's term of Of
fee
The queen regent would welcome an
honorable solution of the problem COM
patihle with Spains rights in Cuba in
order to avert a conflict or even mis-
understanding with the United States.
Therefore, Premier Canovas may be
spurred up to changing his policy, espec-
tally as he knows the Liberal party Is
willing to take office for that purpose, if
the queen bids 1t do so.
SPANISH NOTES
MADRID, Dec. 1.-THE minister of
war. Gen. Azcerraga denies the report
that the ministry intends to replace Gen.
Weyler as captain general of Cuba.
1t is untrue that the American steam
er Laurada has appeared al the entrance

OWNERS RIGHTS.
Decision of Particular Interest to
Crooked Contractors.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 1.-THE su-
preme court held today that even if the
plans and specifications forming a part
of a building contract were not filed
with the county recorder the fact does
not prevent the owner from recovering
from the contractor all amounts over
and above the contract price he was
forced to pay on account of mechanics
liens.
j. H. McMenoniy contracted with A.
L. White to erect building and fur
nished bond. Mechanics liens were
filed against the building and McMeno-
my paid S1295 SO over the contract price.
He brought action against the bond, and
upon an agreed statement OF facts, re-
covered judgment. The defendants
claimed that the neglect to file plans and
specifications, as provided by the code,
precluded the plaintiff from recover
ing.

UP STUMPUM.
Non Est OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Fail to
Find Dunham.

SAN DIEGO, Dec lex Marshal
Gard and Sheriff Lyndon of Santa Clara
and the other officers composing the
party that is supposed to have been
looking for Durham, returned to the city
today. They have been in the southern
party of the county, where Dunham has
q ranch. They did not find the San Jose
murderer. however The officers are not
disDosed to say much about their trip,
hut both Gard and Lyndon deny that
they were after Durham, and they de-
clare that they did not cross the line into
Mexico. The story current, however,
and which is generally credited. is that
Sheriff Lyndon has letter which Dun
ham, while staying on his ranch some
time before the tragedy, wrote to his
wife, and in which he spoke of going to
q. robbers roost in the mountains near
there, here many go and few return
This is said to have given the officers
ciew. and with other information, they
concluded to undertake the expedition.
They failed to find the roost, however,
and the rough journey appears to be
barren of results.
