Mrs. Rosa Wagner of P eclk Street-Her
 Father Died Just Before She Left.
 Mrs Rosa Wagner, wife of Ferdinand
 Wagner of No. POS Peck street, an old employe of the Marlin Firearms compa- ny, has returned from a visit of several months to Germany. Mrs Wagner went to Germany particularly to visit her aged father, Jacob Schwarc, whom she had not seen since she left the Fatherland many years ago. When Mrs. Wagner arrived she found her father in fairly good health and it was her intention to have him return to America with her and spend his remain ing days here. He agreed to this, and the old farm on which he had lived about all his life was leased and prep arations for the trip across the Atlantic made, when on the very day before they expected to leave MT. Schwarc was stricken with apopleXy and died at the age of eighty years and seven months This, of course, was a sad end to Mrs Wagner's visit but she stood the blow bravely. The homeward trip was de- layed and she saw her father buried in the old town where he was born and where most of the family are now at rest. Mrs. Wagner made arrangements for the keeping of the grave and then sailed for home, where she was greeted by her family and many friends. Last night the Daughters of Seven Wise Men gave Mrs. Wagner a reception in their hall in the Courier building, and she recounted to them the interesting events of her trip.

Minor, as trustees for Allis, three pieces of property in Meriden for which $500 in cash was paid and $15,C00 worth of the stock of the Yale Brick company was transferred as part consideration. Allis gave three $2,000 notes and a mort gage on Chapel street property in this city, upon which there was prior mort gage of $S,000 in favor of Yale college. Yale foreclosed the mortgage in Octo Der, 1897. Hall was foreclosed ill May, 1S9S Allis, he alleges, agreed to redeem the Yale mortgage and failed, and gave him no notice of his intention not to re- deem, thus depriving him of his own equity of redemption.

W. M. CARR DROWNED.

Body Found Yesterday in the Nauga-
 tuck River.
 Waterbury, Conn.,. Sept 2S.-The bad- ly decomposed body of a maIl was found this morning floating in the Naugatuck river above Platt's mills. There was a cut in the right temple and the skull was badly fractured. What produced the fracture Medical Examiner Axtelle could not determine in brief examination made at the scene and a further examination will be made to ascertain if there has been foul play. The body had evidently been in the water for several weeks. The river being low it is hardly probable that there was sufficient water where the body was found to drown man unless he had been previously injured. The man was about five feet eight inches in height, smooth shaven with dark brown hair.
 Receipted bills found on the body go to show that the body is that of Will liam M. Carr of New Haven. The name of M G. Walker is mentioned on the bills, but 1t appeared rather that Walk CT paid certain billie for Carr from the wording of them. Carr had appar- entity paid money to the Grace hospital. A picture of a small child was found in the mans pocket.
 Medical Examiner Axtelle is of the opinion that the man met his death in an accidental manner

AUBREY PLEADS GUILTY.

By a prearranged plan Benjamin Au- brey pleaded guilty to the theft of jew elry from Arthur Davis and Louis E. Stoddard's rooms, in Vanderbilt hall in the city court yesterday, and expected that motion which had been agreed upon between his counsel Richard Ty ner and Attorney Mathewson, that he be fined $25 and costs in each case, which was made to the court by At torney Mathewson, would be granted; but Judge Bishop informed the attor- neys that although the value of the goods had been reduced so that they were now considered to be valued under $6O he was compelled by the statute to impose fine not to exceed $100 and also to imprison not to exceed six months.
 Then a continuance was granted until to-day when in all probability short sentence in jail and a fine will be agreed upon. The costs in the case so far amount to $22.56.
 It is understood that the fine of $S0 and costs which was imposed in the Bean count will be paid before the case comes to trial in the common pleas court, where it was appealed to.

Scarcity OF Cattle.

The cattle situation Oh the western
coast is OF great interest just now,
says the Denver Stockman, and the
strong demand there is putting up
prices to point where it is practi.
cally impossible to bring any stock
cattle over the mountains this season.
The drought in California last year
drove out thousands of cattle that
had to be taken elsewhere, slaughter
Ell or starved to death. Now that the
drought Is ended California is practi
cally without cattle for local con-
sumption. to say nothing Of the il
creased demand for beef caused by
the military operations in the Pacific.
While thus country is not supplying
any quantity Of fresh beef for the
army in the Philippines, it is supply.
ing the transports that are plying
between San Francisco and Manila.
But it was not tho drought alone
that is responsible for the scarcity Of
cattle on the COAST. The strong de-
mand IN the corn States for several
years sent the spectators farther
and farther west in search of cattle,
and for three years past Oregon,
Washington. and Nevada have been
sending thousands Of stock cattle to
this and other markets on this side
OF the range. The drought but COM
pleted the work. and this year the re-
flex movement has set in. Already
! several trains of beef cattle have
been sent west, and tho competition
for the young cattle in Oregon and
Nevada has become 30 intense that
The prices being paid are fully al
high as those being pai on this side
OF the divide. Even though. all the
cattle now there are retained it will
be several years before cattle are az
plentiful and as cheap on the coast as
they we're even one year ago. THIS
means that tho Denver market viii
draw but few cattle from beyond
Utah this season. There will be
some from Utah, few from Idaho
but the largest supply for the fail
trade will have to como from Wyom.
