 Their Mother.

orson Light has at last got his chiI- dren from their mother, Kate. Crying as IT her heart would break. Mrs Light, accompanied by her landlady Mrs Foley of Union street, brought inc two children, Ada, 5, and Orson. years, respectively, to the district court tnis aIternoon, in response to the naDeas corpus obtained by Attorney Kelley for Light few days ago. Her weeping and sobbing became 90 painful that she had to be removed to an ante room. Attorney Lawlor filed a de- murrer to the petition and this was oVerTuled. There was no eyidenc<, given, Attorney Lawlor, Mrs Li4ht,s counsel. stating that he could put none 'n on the petition. Judge Peasley then ordered that the order of the probate court be carried out, that is, that the children be given over to the custody of the father.
 A carriage was sent for and then . heart breaking scene began. Light had not much difficulty in getting his little namesake from his mother. but Ada made terrible uproar. A largo crowd gathered opposite the court house and witnessed the fathers at- tempts to catch Ada, who was scream. ing with all her lung power. Finally Mrs Foley intervened and catching hold of Mrs Light the latters husband seized Ada by the arms and put her in the carriage, crying and struggling. Light then took seat and the car riage drove away. Everybody was thankful to Mrs Foley for ending tho awful scene, though her sympathies were with Mrs Light, It was no good prolonging the scene, for the law had to be obeyed.

MISSING HEIR.
Wanted Very Much In Waterbury at
 the Present.

Is John Cuddy in the land Of the living or of the dead; If he is in the quick now Is the time for him 10 speak out and thereby help solve a problem which will otherwise occasion much bother in the probate court. Thirty years ago he disappeared and nothing has been heard of him since. He was the second son of Patrick and Cath erine Cuddy, and had a brother named Patrick. Patrick, however. died twen- ty-five years ago or more and his es- tate has not been settled ID. John was naturally his heir: but is John liy- ing or dead; That question must be determined before Patrick's estate can be settled. In fact, John must be de- clared dead in order 10 open a way to distribute the estate of his mother among her relatives. the Lawlcrs of South Main street and the Hickeys of Lafayette street Both families were largely represented in the probate court this morning to receive tteir share of Mr Cuddy's personal estate. which is said tO be about sl.4DO. There is also real estate. But Attor- ney Slavin knocked their expectations on the head. As counsel for William Cuddy. a nephew of Mrs Cuddy. he appeared in the matter and set forth that until the estate of Patrick Cuddy Is settled the estate of his mother can not be distributed. as he dieST years before she did. And then he pointed 10 the fact Of the mysterious disap- pearance of the other son John. about whom nobody seems tO knSw any thing
 If it turns out that John Cuddy is living siI the calculations of the dis tribufees of Mrs Cuddy's estate will be knocked sky high. But there is very little probability of his materializinz. In view of the unexpected kink put In the prOceedingS by the abrupt appear ance of William Cuidy by his lawyer Mfr Slavfn the matter was sdj0urnei to Monday morning.

CASTRO IS AGAIN
 HOT UNDER COLLAR
TROUBLE WITH COLOMBIA WAS CAUSED BY FAILURE TO AR REST PROMPTLY ONE OF CAS- TRO's FLEEING GENERALS.

Washington, December 27-Serious trou- ble has broken out between colombia and Venezuela again, according to ca ble advices received at the state de- partment today from Bogota.
 It appears that one of President Cas- tro's generals, named Montilla, stationed near the border, finding himself disliked by President Castro, fled across the bor- der into Colombia to a place called Gu cata. The Venezuelan consul there de- manded his arrest and that he be de- livered to the Venezuelan authorities. This demand was transmitted to Bogota and the Colombian government instructed the local authorities at Cucata to arrest the man. and send him to the capital, pending extraditlon proceedings.
 But in the meantime, and before the body reached Cucata, Montilla made his escape and has not yet been found. Pres- dent Castro was greatly angered at this,

COAL ORDINANCE
 CAUSES TROUBLE BeSsemer Council May Recon
 Sider the Matter COAL PRICES ADVANCED Dealers Claim the Right to Charge SO Gents on Each Load Sold on
 Account of Weighing
 Expenses.
COAL PRICES ADVANCED

Bessemer, December Especial. )-At the next regular meeting of the city council of Bessemer. which will be next Tuesday night, several matters of inn portance will demand the attention of the city fathers.
 One of the most vital matters to be con sidered is that of the new ordinance re- quiring dealers in coal to weigh every load sold on city scales and a certificate of the weight to be furnished each pur- chaser
 This ordinance was passed at the last meeting of the council, and requires that fee of 10 cents be paid by the dealer for each load weighed by the city weigher. This ordinance is due to go into effect next week and it has been announced by the coal dealers that 70 cents will be charged extra for each load of coal sold after the ordinance goes into effect It is claimed that the additional charge will be necessary on account of the added ex- pense of driving every load by the city hall and paying for the weighing.
 This rule, it is claimed will work a hardship on the people and it is under stood that the council will be asked to take the matter up for a reasonable ad- justment. It Is not known what steps will be taken, but is certain that neither the customers or dealers are pleased with the present conditions.
 Two additional members of the police force will also be elected at the next meet ing of the council. Chief of Police George W. Jones asked the council at the last meeting to allow two additional members of the fopce, and the request was granted There was some opposition to the added expense involved, but Mayor Sullivan over came this opposition with the argument that every policeman who does his duty is self-supporting.
 Other matters of importance will come up for consideration as usual. Annul re- ports of officers will be received

The diplomatic relations between Colombia and Venezuela were just on the point of being re-estabnshed, so that this last action is equivalent to a com plete rupture.
