Of ?11 lilt Wealth Absolutely Xoth Ins Left?Sacrificing his own Money to Fifhl the Wall street Attack on Northern Pacific. New Yobk, Jan. 3.?The ruin of Hcnry V illard, the great roan to -whose untiring fcoergy the Northern Pacific owes whatever of success it has attained, is complete and irretrievable. His vast prepcrties, aggregating possibly ten million dollars, have been swallowed up in the insatiable maws of the ?iv.it enterprises he had under way and was supporting. In fact the case is a parallel one witn t&at 01 Jay uooKe, ms preaecessor m t is?- presidency of th8 Northern Pacific, and I-.:- prototype as a failing railroad magnate. j. i eporter visited the palatial residence at Fiftieth street and Madison avenue, until vi.hina few days ago the property of Mr. Viiiard, and in which he now occupies"a sinr glu floor through the suffranee of his credit. -:^ The reporter saw him and was deeply t-1: pressed with his wretched appearance. But ho begged to be spared an interview and referred tho scribo to a particular friend with the remark, 4;You may take what h Sf?ys as coming from me. He knows all i''-iut it, and has the sad satisfaction of havgiven md~ advise which, if followed, Jnight have rendered your visit hero today w TTVw4/v*? o tliflf: Tii.nam p. il U1 LigCJ. WAAVAVkA U> -?' ? should not appear, Air. Villard's friand said: Mr. Villard is a ruined man in bis private 1 l iuno. Ho hasn't as much money to his i:n.ue today as you have. It has all gono to Vi<j help of the great enterprises he has been at the head of. There can be no question of *ji > conscientious integrity, for he has voluntarily sacrificed his private means to support the- Northern Facific. Mr. Villard deserves 1 sympathy of the public instead of tho vilification and abuse he has received from so:ne quarters. He is a very sick man. This tliiug has preyed upon his mind so that I thought at one time that ho would never re c .vt-r his mental faculties. He has absolutely pc, Thing left His stocks, his bonds, his two residences, are all involved in the wreck. Ho has saved nothing. He never was so rich a inan as y^as reported. Ho was not worth ten in lions, as I have- ieard it said, five was j. arer the figure, but ten made a bigger r.i'-uthfuL Last Sunday Mr. Billings called to see Mr. Villard. He had quarreled with ilr. Villard, had resigned from the manage?iX-at of the Northern Pacific, and there was ? ::iq ill feeling between the two. When fce ve iled and found Mr. Villard sicfc in bed, and v. ten he iearned that he had impoverished fciuwelf in his efforts to support the company, Jtr. Billings expressed his entire belief in Mr. Villard's integrity, and ther<f was a ? one of reconciliation between the two. Why i. - sacrificed his own fortune is a long story, briefly, the burden of this great enterprise ?: -on him has been almost beyond belief, t.'pon him alone depended the carrying out < ? this gigantic undertaking, it was aDSolitoly necessary that the road should be fini i:ed beforjj'the present congress met What it? fate, at the hands of congress would have boon otherwise the bills that have already Uvii intjroduoed will show. Most railroads vuch a character from congress are permitted to issue bonds for every twenty five tjiles or so of cotnpletod road- These are i>!d to raise money with which to build, r.ut the terms of the Northern Facifie charter required it to complete a gives number \ l miles before a bond could be issued. This taade it necessary for the company to borrow rtoney, sometimes as much as $12,000,000 or \ 15,000,060, as at the time Garfield was shot ?> action coujd be had from congress. The first thing "President Arthur was called on do "was to authorize the issue of bonds for over tbrefe hundred miles of completed roads All this financieKng had to be done by Mr. Villard himself. When the "Wall stroet X -Ut J operators tuauw a, vumuiiieu itoiiiun. ua tua stcek recently, Mr. Yiilard was straining every nfav* to preserve the company's credit, imd begad to sacrifice his own money. Tc make matters worse, he waS away from the 2ity and had to do business by telegraph. A oartaig, banking firm was [in difficulty and would have failed if he had not ccmq to the rescue by raising money on bonds and property belonging to himself individually. So l?o has gone on giving of his own money until everything he ov.-as is pledged. But there is era source of strain upon him wmcfc I cava not meanoneu. iuoney * ias.been thrust into his hands to invest for other people. AH financial men know what t,hat experience is. Friends would insiston having him invest their savings. When th? stock went down such was Mr. Yillard?s sesse of honor that I have known him many and many a time to put his hands into his own pocket and purchase the stock to save them from its depreciation. I have in mind one case within my own knowledge. If I should tell you the man's name you _ would be surprised. In this esse Mr. Viilard rcluntarOv suffered a loss of ?90,000. I suppose he has lost ?1,000,000 in this way. Mr. Yillard's resignation of the. presidency i; now'in the hands of the directors, and wjll I>o accepted at Friday's-meeting, I suppose. Mr. Billings has been urged to accept the ? place, but ne does not Want it His health is nut robust. But it makes very little differonce who is president. Mr. Viilard had accomplished the great work of building the roacL Now all that remains is to operate it For that a practical railroad man is required. DOUBLE EXECUTION. WnWn rti??

He was suspended fifteen minutes per the surgeon's report, to which was added the report of death by asphyxiation, compression of the blood vessels of the neck and'of the trachsp. At three minutes after eleven o'clcsik Graves was brought from his room down tis> eastern stairs that lead to the warden's office Whud descending- the stairs his cries, z?oass and whining could be heard throughout the building.

While waiting for the opting ci' the door leading to the corridor in whiciT the gallows stood the condemned increased, his piteous cries and a shudder of horror ran the crowd. It was one of the most terrible sights, Cornett's execution excepted, ever witnessed on such an occasion.

Serious Illness of Prcsiacnl Artlinr, Washington, Jars. 4.?Ever since the reception at the White house 011 Tuesday there has been considerable gossip on the condition of tho president Friends who had not seen him for some time were very much surprised at his changed appearance. A prominent physician who attended the reception says: "Mr. Arthur is far from well. I looked at him carefully when I shook hands with him, as I ha? heard reports as to his poo: health. His color if bad. There is an unnatural Gush about his cheeks. He locked for all the world to me like a person suffering from heart disease. It wordd not surprise mo greatly if w/-* rvnfc Vdc rnrm fir ftrrrn hf'TTfmf' the present year. I know nothing of ths preside t's habits, but he should be very careful. I thi:;k that ho overdid the thing in his trip up the Yellowstone hist summer. It was too lone; and too hard a trip for a person so heavy as tho president is 10 take at o::ce. He might have educated himself up to it by degrees. Why, when he returned to tho White House he was completely fagged out and nearly prostrated. He ought to have been just the reverse." 11315 pil3'Slcia:is statements are curruuorated by others who saw the president. One doctor had the temerity to go to Senator Edmunds and advise him to bold on to Lis position as president pro tern, of the senate, as lie might ba called upon to act as president before His end of the year. There is no doubt that scm: apprehension is felt by the president's friends. The universal comment of the president's callers is: "Hotv badly Gen. Arthur looked." That so .many should notice it indicates that some change must have taken place in the president's appearance of an unfavorable nature. "nil Voilnnnl Nev,1- York. Doc. 31.?Hon. 0. B.

Farmer Nelson's Daughter Flies with a Farm JIaad. IjQVZLL, .lass.. J a::. 5.?A short distancj cut of North Chelmsford, uoar here, lives farmer NeLon, a man possessed of considerable property and a daughter of more than usual comeliiiejs. Las: suiainsr a handsome young Pole named Tilcski came to v.-ork on Nelson's iurm, and b-tv.een him and Miss Cynthia Nelson ar. intimacy sprang up which soon ripened into love. But tha course of true love, as usual, ran anything bu: smooth. Farmer Nei.;o:j had destined hi* daughter for one Miles J\>!ns n, a young farmer uear bv, and Johnson was as far r\T7c.~ nis rtoi-ff in l<wr? ivirl, thr. I.nvom Vvnnntrv u,v' A" ~ ~ J I as the Pole himself. It was not long before both Johnson a; id the fanuor v. ere made aware of this. The giri showed in everyway her aversion for Johnson and her preference for Tileski. At ZJr. Nelson ordered Tileski off the fan a. Tileski hovered ?.-ouad Chelmsford, and through notes dropye I from Juliet's window at midnight he was kept informed of bow mnttnrs <st.rMvl. in.! hi-; f. r!brain soon eon- I ceived a j.Ian by wiiic": to win his fairdulcinea. Friday night about 0 o'clock Hiss Nelson i wa? suddenly taken sick. Mr. Nelson drove to the village for a doctor. No sooner had he got well array than Miss Nalson recovered, and -with her satchel in liaud left tho house and flew up the road luadiagj from the village. Here she found iier suitor waiting with a flout horse auu sleigh. They immedifttf-lv act nn foaLowiil- where thev intended getting the nuptial knot tied. They v.'ere compelled io pass through Chelmsford, and had nearly reached the village when a pin gave way in tho sleigh and they -were unable to proceed. A moment later the young*man looked up to ilnd ilr. Nelson upon him. The deluded father at once saw tho trap into which bo had fallen, and sprang upon Tiicski with murder in his eye. The young Pole was too much for him, however, and L*i a trice had the fanner down and bound with the reins taken from Tileski's horse. After comfortabip wrapping up the old gentleman in buffalo robes the unfilial daughter and her adorer coolly took possession of Nelson's sleigh and continued their journey. At Chelmsford Tileski ran across Johnson, and told him that his hoped for father in lav,- was waiting to see him on urgent business a half mile kown the road. Then the truants drove chuckling away and went straight to Lowell, where a good naturcd parson was routed up and the knot tied upon the spot. Papa Nelson was released too late for the' wedding' Tilcski told his story with a good deal of self satisfaction, and said he supposed it would be war to the knife now with Nelson, but that he had won his bride as fairly as the old man would let-h'm, and he proposed to keep her. Mrs. Tilcski blushingly corroborated hor husband's story, and seexned perfectly contented with the stop .she had taken. PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS. Tlie Election of ^Delegates to tho National Convention. Philadelphia, Jan. 2.?Whilo there are yet few signs of presidential activity among the republicans of Pennsylvania to form any distinct conclusions as to the coiu-so which their delegates will take at Chicago in June, the matter is beginning to be discussed, and esp jciallv with reference to the party's formal procedure under the new national rules and under those also agreed to at Hasrisbnrg last July. The two sets do not conflict, but they considerably curtailas was the intention?the rangb of discretionary power heretofore possessed by th* state committee. Practically it amounted to this, that the earliest date at which the ?ate convention can bo held this year in order to choose delegates to Chicago will bo the 4th of April, that being "not more than sixty days baore tlio national convention." But as by the state rales sixty days' notice of the state convention must ba given in order to have time for choosing delegates to it, it will require that the state committee should meet early in February, or it would not have the opportunity of calling the state convention, if it desired to do so, at the earliest date. Mr. Coopor, the chiiirman of the committee, will therefore convene it some time in Februaiy, and near the beginning of the month, and it may be expected that the state convention will ce called for the latter part of April or the beginning of May.

They traveled from San Diego and the Pacific coast of the Gulf of California, and returned in four months almost skeletons. For 2w miles they saw no living thing except an old Indian and his squaw. Tho pack animals dieciof hunger and thirst. At two places they passed deserted mission churches built of stone. In these were gold and silver vessels on tho altars, and in the vestries hung priestly vestments covered with dust and dropping to pieces with age. Dried and bleeched bones were found, but not a bird, animal or reptue; not a drop of water and no indication of rain for years. A few days later they found rioh deposits of gold ore, both place and ledge, of which they brought back specimens. These specimens arc in the hands of the agent of the St. Louis syndicate and have beon assayed by government experts. The placer pccimens show $240 to the pound and th6 iedgo specimens show from ?00,000 to $200,000 to the ton. To rcaeh these deposits pipe lines and artesian wells will be tried and eachcs constructed for food. The country is the abodo of desolation, and many lives .-it ? - r ..e?~ it, U.

New York, Jan. 5.?An American Press reporter met Hon. S. S. Cox just as he was leaving for "Washington. He has been enjoying the holidays, regardless of the political quidnuncs who have pretendofl to report his disgruntlement, etc., because of his assignment to a committee less in dignity than he had a right to expect. On being asked as to what his committee would do for the navy, he responded that he never had made the navy a study, and knew little of its needs. He had made shipbuilding? the mercantile marine and commerce and their rival?a special study since 1868, when first elected ffom New York. He gave to the special committee upon which ho served ! loe+ nniytVnmn nil Vtic '\V>H flfc Otlfl timo during the progress of the bill last congress ho earned bis two propositions for free ships and free materials.

Sloeum, the head of the new committee, finds no obstacle as to certain minor propositions, but in impediment in a Louisinana sugar member, who has tho balance of power on bis committee, as to the main points. Sugar is next to bread for sustenance, and we pay bounty on bounty to this interest as-we do to Pennsylvania 011 iron. These states came up together smiling to smite our interests. They will do it again in this democratic congress. You can board all the sugar makers at public expense at the Windsor and save uionoy?if they let us buy our sugar in Cuba and have free sb^pe."

[ b'fum i'tu Xfticx ami Courier.] Tin; New York Times of Tuesday i last ha^ ihe following' dispatch: Washington, December 31.?The Hon. Emory Speer, who was appointed United States attorney for the < Northern district of Georgia after the * Forty-seventh Congress adjourned, is now in town, waiting to see whether or not the Senate will confirm his ap- ( pointment. He said to-day that he was not at all worried about the mat- I ter, feeling confident that he would be confirmed. He understood that Senators Iiuller and Hampton, of South ] Carolina, were working hard to hare him rejected, in return foi the part he . played in undertaking to secure the conviction of the accused persons in the South Carolina election cases. He did not know, Mr. Speer remarked, that accepting employment under tlic ; Government and trying, as any good lawyer ought, to win his cases was any reason why he should be rejected when nominated for a district attorneyship; yet that rcas,_tl?e sum of his offence. Mr. Speer said was not sorry when he was able to leave South Carolina, but he was ready to go back whenever the attorney-general reouested him to do so. Durin?r the progress of the trial fhe counsel for the defendants talked to the jury about ,fthe hounds sent down to prosecute the good people of South Carolina," with a sweep of the hand toward Mr Sj>eer, and declared that the "hoauds'* ' would be lucky if they got out of the State with nothing worse than broken lw><iHe ?r irnt AAvnv " sftid Mr. Sneer.

"What do you think about that 1poenri'?" asked a Reporter of Senator Butler yesterday. "It looks to me very much like it was composed by Mrs Speer himself," replied Senator Butler. "It : is doggerel of the worst kind, and I don't ont* mon 111 SkAtifh PovAlititi UllttR 4li*4t ?ii? umu iu vmavii?ii? could get off such a tliiug. It must have been Mr. Speeds own composition." 1 "Do you know Mr. Speer personally?" inquired the Reporter. * "I saw him in Columbia during the trials," replied Senator Butler, "but never before, and I desire to state here that the statement pnblishcd In the Times concerning my alleged opposition to Mr. Speer's nomination is entirely untrue. I hud never heard of Mr. Speer's nomination as district-attorney for the northern district of Georgia until the fact was published in the newspapers, and I have never yet expressed an opinion on the subject one way or the other. I don't think that Mr." Sjjeer's nomination is of sufficient importance to the country to warrant me in worrying myself about it, aud l Have not none so yet. Mr. Speer, if Ixi is reported correctly in the New York Times, has simply lied about the people of South Carolina. I suppose thnt he has done so in order to ij^ratiate liimw?lf with his ?cw Radical allies iu Washington. I can't imagine what other motive the creature could have had. His statements are purely and simply malicious lies. Mr. Speer is not a man or sufficient consequence to cause me much thought one way or the other. It' he does not acquit himself more creditably when he returns her next spring he liad bet- ! ter continue to nestle in the mountains of Georgia* Mr. S peer, in my opin- i ion, is a very light-weight, personally, professionally and politically.
