The Illness of Jay Gould.

NEW YORK, March 12.-A gentleman inti- mately acquainted with Jay Gould was seen by a reporter this afternoon in regard to the rumored illness of the latter. He said : ssSemetime before leaving MT. Gould con suited physician whose name has become quite prominent in connection with the Swedish movement cure That gentleman told him after a brief examination that he must let go of everything like business and go away for time, otherwise breakdown physically and mentally was inevitable. He told him that overwork and the consequent mental worry had worn him out and he was thirty years older than he ought to be. Mir Gould was little incredulous, but when his symptoms were accurately described by this practitioner, whom he had never met before, he took the matter serious ly. His decision to leave the street and all business for a time was not finally made un- til he had visited his own physician, who I am told fully agreed with the conclusions and advice of the other. That is how Gould came to go away. He wanted to be allowed to break off by degrees, but the situation was too urgent, and besides the doctors did not believe he could do it successfully in that way. He was always buoyed up by the ex- citement of speculation and lived on it. Ner- vous to degree the condition of affairs wore on him and lately he suffered much from in- somnia, which is always an accompaniment of nerve disorders"
 "When do you think he will be
 turn f'' "That must depend entirely on his health Should he regaiR strength in Florida or elsewhere we may see him here again in the fall or even earlier. But one thing is certain he will never be the same Jay Gould who used to rule the street and whose very name was host in the speculative field. He will pay less attention to the conflicts of the bulls and bears hereafter and some new and energetic rival with less brains probrbly, but a stouter frame and better digestion, will step into the shoes of the deposed monarch of the money market. Who knows but 1t may be Jim Keene ?''

That after twelve years of republican rule such 8 cabinet should be 8 possibility was pronounced to be simply heart breaking. The audience were exhorted to work for the establishment of 8 genuine republic. The people of Paris, said one of the more fiery orators, had in times past watered the streets with their blood and they had plenty left in their veins to do so again.

Insane at the AltRr-A Handsome Young
 Lady Loses Her Reason at the Hour Alp.
 pointed for Her Weddfng-A Lovers
 Heartless Act.
 ERIE, March 12.-To-day the doors of the State lunatic asylum opened to admit a young lady whose intellect has been dethron- ed by the perfdy of 8 recreant bridegroom. The name of the demented girl is Anna Pet erson, member of one of the most promi- nent families of Harbor Creek near Ere. Miss Peterson is nineteen years old and has been most literally endowed by nature with handsome form and sweet disposition. About year ago young man named P. Dullea paid her marked attention and in due time she promised to wed him. Dullea is possessed of considerable property and the match was generally considered most happy one. The 7th of March was set for the we'd ding day and many relations and friends were invited to be present at the ceremony. The bridegroom was very zealous in making the preparations and left nothing undone which would add eclat to the affair. The eventful day arrived and Anna Peterson arrayed her self in her bridal robes. The morning trains brought many friends who assembled in the handsomely decorated Peterson parlors as the hour drew nigh. The marriage was to be solemnized at noon. At 10 minutes of 12 the bridegroom had not arrived. The minister was in waiting to the bride sat among her elegantly attired bridesmaids. Just before noon stranger rang the bell and, handing the servant 8 let ter addressed to Miss Peterson, hurried away. This excited considerable suspicion and not without forebodings of evil did MT. Peterson deliver the missiye to his daughter. She tore it open, hurriedly glanced over it's contents and then, with an agonized shriek, fell in swoon. The fatal letter was picked up and read to the guests. It was a curt, heartless epistle:
 ''My Dear Miss Peterson = Circumstances over which have no control compel to forego the honor of wedding you to-day. This morning was informed of great necessity for my presence else you and then our feelings for each other are un- altered relations can be considered the same though this little hitch in our arrangements had CT happened Yours truly, P. DULLEA. P. S.-I am going to travel
 Restoratives were applied and the deserted bride regained consciousness. When she came out of the faint she astonished her friends by quietly readjusting her wreath of orange flowers and taking the hand of an aged neighbor addressed him by her false lover's name and pronounced herself ready to repeat the word that should make her his wife. Then it flashed on the minds of all those present that the shock had deprived her of her reason. They led her away like poor Ophelia smiling and chatting in an art less way that was heartrsnding to see and hear. The house of rejoicing was changed to one of sorrow. During the night Miss Peterson was attacked with violent parox- ysms succeeded by periods of insensibility. Her parents are prostrstsd by the weight of sorrow. Nothing further has been heard from Dul1ea and the community is wild with excitement over his perfdious action.
