Villard.s True Name.

The name of Mr.. Willard Is Heinrich
Hilgard, and bis nearest flatives all
reside in or around BellevilleI New York.
He is the son of Gustav Hilgard, for
1nerly president of the supreme court at
Munich. This Gustav Higard is the
half brother of Robert C. Hikard Of the
Belleyille Savings bank. Gustav Hilgard
was the only one of five bFothers who
did not come to America, AMI it was not
originally intended that his son Henry
(the Willard in question: should 60 to
the United States. But some wild esca-
pades while studying at the university
of Munich induced him to come to
America in 1853, being then nineteen
years of age. He arrived here without
any means, and he had to rely on him
self for support. In 1854 his uncle, the
above named Robert c.. Hill
gard of the Bellville Savings bank, went
to Chicago, where the. e.young Henry run
aground, and brought him TO Belleville.
But he left soon, and for five or six years
not word was heard of him. 1t seems,
however, Henry. .Hilgard (Villard) became
acquainted with Horace Greeley when
that journalist visited the ''Wlld West"
who engaged him as correspondent for
his paper, the New York Tribune. AS a
correspondent Hi]gard assumed the nom
de plume of Willard, and under this as
sumed name he soon gained celebrity as
an excellent newspaper writer, particular
ly as war correspondent The founda.
ton of his immense fortune he laid dur
ing the time when government bonds
stood very low, by fortunate speculation
in these papers. During that. time he
visited Europe four times. His knowl.
edge and pronunciation is such that he il
taken for an American. Henry Hilgard
(Villard) is the true specimen of self
made man, and he has elevated himself to
his present position by his own grit and
intellect. q ... ~ p.

'Obit0ary.

General John w. Davidson, Colonel of
the Second Cavalry, who recently passed
through Bismarck on sick leave of alb
sence for one year, died at the Merchants
Hotel, St. Paul, at five o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The many army friends of
General Davidson, as he passed through
Bismarck, were conscious that he could
not live long. but hardly expected death
so soon. s ...
Col John w. Davidson was born in Vir-
ginia in 1928 and, arriving at suitable
age, was appointed to the military acad
envy at West Point, from which he gradu-
ated in 1S45, being then commissioned
as brevet second lieutenant in the famous
First Dragons. He received his cap.
tain's commission in 1866, and his ma
iority in November, 1861, being then as
signed to the Second cavalry. Through
the war he served with conspicuous gal
lantry and success, receiving numerous
brevets for 'gallant and meritorious servi-
ces,'' and being especially noted as a
leader Of the cavalry, both in conjunction
with foot troops and in offensive opera
tions through the snemy's country. The
war over, Gen. Davidson received his
promotion in 1866 as Lieutenant Colonel
of the Tenth Cavalry, and on the 10th Of
March, 1879, he came back to his old
regiment the Second Cavalry. Gen.
Terry, upon receipt of the news of the
death of Gen. Davidson, ordered that a
guard of honor be sent from Fort Smelling,

Wrecked Merchandise.

There were eight cars in the. wreck at
Alsop. One car load of liquors was badly
smashed and scattered. Canned goods
and other groceries cut conspicuous
figure in the debris. A car near the mid
die of the train jumped the track just be-
fore the train struck the bridge, and the
havoc that followed was simply fearful.
Trains were delayed Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, as baggage and passengers
had to be transferred.

An Elopement from Greene.

Morristown Gazette: On Tuesday morn
ing of last week Whit Knight, of Greene
county, formerly of Springyale, Hamblen
county, was recognized by some of our citi-
zens at the depot, en- route, as he stated. to
Knoxville to purchase stock of liquors for
new saloon he proposed opening at War
rensburg. He was exceedingly impatient
and anxious for the arrival of the western
bound train, and lost no time in getting
aboard when it came. A Mrs Scott, wife of
James (Bud) Scott, of Greene county, and a
woman OF more than average comeliness,
took passage on the same train The next
day 1t was made known that Knight had Sc
duced Mrs. Scott from her husband and two
little children, and the couple had eloped
| for parts unknown. Mrs. Scott is of good
! family, and her husband is an industrious,
afectlonate and thrifty man. Knight we
are informed, has been in the employ of the
government as secret detective, and has a
bad record. He leaves wife and one child
III Greene county, besides two or three
women IN other localities with whom he has
heretofore eloped and abandoned after few
months 1t is sad blow to the domestic
happiness of an affectionate, unsuspeeting
! husband and the hitherto untarnished repu-
! tation of good family. And we still think
there is absolute necessity for the occasional
Judlclous use of a ble-barreled shot gun.

He has had charge of the office of mar
shall in this district at time when the dis
charge of his duties required caution, dis
erection, industry and courage The nature
of his of duties has been anything but pleas
ant, and their discharge was a diff

| tain Evans has so conducted him
| self that he retires to private life enjoying
the respect and esteem of his large circle OF
true friends. He has guarded the interests
of the government with ability and Fidelity,
and has proved faithful to his trust. We

cred as short and cheap for a pike road as
| could be found

Whereas, We deem it highly necessary
that such a road (mentioned above) should
be constructed on the south side of Black
| Oak Ridge, and by way of H. Clapp's and to
Graveston; be it, therefore,
Resolved, That, in order that this enter
