Mr.. Tweed has been very busy oil day.
Although he forcsaw trouble, and has
long been engaged in transferring his
real estate to trustworthy parties, he had
so many investments that when the blow
was struck lie had not quite impoverished

several transfers, and tonight is the poor
est millionaire in New York. Even the
house he lives in is the property of an
other. 1t is estimated that within the
last four weeks be has given away to his
relatives and friends about eight million
dollars worth Of real estate. Tweed took
his arrest very quietly.
