WIZARDS Resignation.

New York, Dec. 31.-Mr. Willard Is
somewhat better to-day but still suffering
from nervous prostration. His resigna-
ton as president of the Northern Pacific
railroad will be presented at the annual
meeting of the directors January 4th.
The probable successor to Mr.. Willard Is
being freely discussed on the street. 1t
is thought Frederick Billings, of Boston,
will be pushed by the New England
stockholders and A. S. Cassett, of Penn
sylvania, by other parties in their inter
est. Nothing positive can be ascertained
from the officials of the Northern Pacific
or from the members of the bond syndi-
cate regarding the much talked change,
although developments are expected
shortly. 1t is stated that the Oregon
Transcontinental investigating commit
tees report will, probably, not be issued
to-day, or, if issued, not till after business
hours The figures are not known yet
but it is supposed the statement will
show Oregon Transcontinental to be
worth $50. The Indebtedness of the
company is reported as increased from
the figures in the memorandum given by
Willard to Ralston early in the month,
which accounts, together with the depre-
ciation in the value Of the assets, for the
drop from sixty-one to fifty. Friends OF
the Oregon. Transcontinental say the
company has its securities intact. The
executive committee meet at 2:3O o'clock
this afternoon.

How Like his Father.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Jan. 3-Thc facts of
one of the most novel society sensations
that has taken place in this city for
years, transpired to-day. The persons
interested are Miss Carrie Swain, a varie-
ty actress, who is now starring the coun-
try in the role of 'Cad, the Tom Boy"
and Ross Reno, son Of ex-Major Reno,
of the United States army. Miss Swain
appeared here Christmas night as Cad,
and after the the play went to her quart
ers in the second story Of one of the
leading hotels. A balcony adorned the
front of her bed room, and shortly after
she retired for the night three or four
gentle raps at the window pane awaken
ed her. She paid no attention to the
noise for time, but reached under her
pillow for a small revolver. Presently
the window was raised and a youthful
intruder was observed. Miss Swain's
first impulse was to fire, but she, woman
like, changed her mind, and cried for
help. Her maid, sleeping in an adjoin-
ing room, at once responded, as did
number of the hotel employees; and Reno
whom it proved to be, was taken out and
placed in his own room, he being a
boarder at the hotel. The affair was
quieted down, and did not get before the
public until to-day. Miss Swain allowed
the matter to remain as it transpired,
without any prosecution, but the propri-
etor of the hotel at once notified young
Reno that he must seek other quarters.
The affair has caused quite sensation in
the city. Miss Swain is highly indignant
at the conduct of the young man, who, it
is claimed, had no reason to conduct him
self in the manner he did. She states
the reason she did not shoot the intruder
was because it would have detained her
here as IS witness, and broken up her
engagements for the season.

C0nqaePor Crook. ,

1t would seem by the following letter
that Crook failed in conquering the 4pa-
ches in New Mexico. A courier arrived
in Tombstones, from the prefectus. at
Oposura, with the sad intelligence that =
day or two before the Apaches murdered
two families, consisting of nine persons,
men, women and children, at a point
known as Parida, on the road from Ell
Gavilan to Suagui. On the same day
this same band Of Indians killed another
man on the same road, little farther on
in the same direction. Four Of the Gus
toms guards were killed at Nacosari,
either by Indians or contrabandistas .
week later the Indians rounded up all
the stock at that place ditto 1t . mine
near this place worked by Bickerton 4
Adams; ditto a few head At Gerice !;
ditto all the stock of the Gavilan COM
pany: ditto all the stock belonging to
the Mexicans at Lampazos, and have
gotten away with it all. Reports reach
US that six or eight men were killed by
these red devils on the Sonora river near
AcOuchO. Advices from Bavispe state
that two bands of Indians have entered
from Arizona into the Sierra Marde via
Gjitas and Penasco. In fact, it now ap-
pears that we are in the midst of another
of those bloody raids which makes one
who knows the devillsh barbarity Of
these Indians shudder to think upon.
Suffice It to say that Gen. Crooks car
tridges are now doing their deadly
work.

NEW York, December 3l.-Business
failures in the United States during 1888
reported by R. G. Dun & Co., number
9ls4, against 673s in 1882, an increase of
2446. The liabilities for 1888 are $172,-
100000 against lOl 100000 for 1882. The
failures last year were greater than those
of any year since 1873, when it reached
1O,4S7 with liabilities 1924, 100000. A
close analysis of tables presented in the
circular show out of every ninety-four
persons engaged in business in 1888, one
person failed, while IN 1873 one person
failed out OF every sixty-four traders. In
Canada the proportion Of failures during
the year was one failure to every forty
eight traders. Duncan and Grant laces
and embrodieries assigned preference
for 500 OOO.

Northern Pacific Emigrant Plans

This question has probably been asked
a hundred times within the past few
weeks" North Dakota to secure her
share of the immigration of the coming
season, or are competing roads to be al
lowed to rob the North Pacific Of her
patrons?" It is well known that such
was the case last year and that thousands
originally destined for the North Pacific
country were induced by favorable pas
senger and freight rates to locate on the
lines of other roads in South Dakota.
This subject has been agitated both by
individuals and boards of trade and COM
mittees until a universal interest has
been awakened and convincing argu-
ments have been brought to bear upon
the North Pacific management. That
this will result in different policy for
the coming years seems now quite evident
and a large influx of immigrants may
confidently be looked for. The writer
during a recent trip to Minneapolis and
St. Paul was informed that the North
Pacific officials had determined upon
adopting a more liberal policy toward
the future immigrants. At a meeting
soon to be held in Chicago the North
Pacific people will demand OF the eastern
roads lower emigrant rate to st. Paul
than has previously been provided.
Heretofore the Milwaukee & st. Paul
and other roads have charged North
Pacific emigrant nearly the same price
for ticket from Chicago to st. Paul that
they would charge for ticket from Chi
cago to Central Dakota over their own
line. This has been a discrimination
very unjust to the North Pacific people
and one that has robbed them of large
share of intended patronage. As soon ~
concessions in the rate to st. Paul are Sc
cured, Col. Lamborn, land commissioner
of the North Pacific, will recommend an
exceedingly low rate to all parts of Da
kata for land-hunters and home-seekers.
the merely nominal fare even to be re-
funded in case of the purchase of land
or other equally desirabl': investments.
The rate for instance, from Chicago to
Bismarck might be fixed M low rs $l2 to
SIS. the whole sum to be refunded in
case of an investment in land. 1t is be-
1ieyed that some such plan will be adopt
ed for the coming season, in which case
the rush of immigrants to this section
will be unprecedented in the history Of
Dakota"

Gear d'Alepe.

A brief sketch Is given in the Kootenai
Courier. of A. ]. Prichard, now called
"Mr." formerly dubbed "Crank," !" by the
boys Of Gallatin county, who visited his
cabin last spring and returned disgusted.
Prichard, it seems, prospected in Colo
RADIO, Arizona and New Mexico, and at
one time lived in the Gallatin valley, for
it was he who wrote the golden letters
last winter and induced such stampede
from tins section. He finally found him
self on the old Mullan road, and after
crossing the Bitter Root mountains be-
gan to notice mineral bearing quarts.
He left the road and followed seyeral
ridges and on some of them found good
groupings, yet discovered no signs Of any
former prospe cttrs. He came down to
Fort Ceur d'Alene to winter, and the
next fall (87S) commenced work on one
of the leads near Whist is now known as
Evolution, being the name he gave his
lead. He built q cabin, but having no.
means to develop the claim, postponed
operations until the following spring and
then commenced prospecting for placers.
He very soon discovered gold in q gulch
near Evolution, called Prospect gulch. 1t
being small gulch, the water soon gave
out and the surrounding country was
then more carefully examined. The
general formation b hard slate and in
many places shows mineral, and there
are stratas of granite from 8 to 20 feet
while running through the slate. Eight
miles easterly from Evolution there is
granite vein from to miles wide and
still further east the formation changes
to lime, porphyry, slate etc. Good
placers were found At every hand. Mr..
Pritchard next crossed over tho divide to
the head waters of the st. Joe, and even
as far as the divide between the st. Joe
ana Clearwater. And good prospects
were found in the gravel on seyeral
streams. The spring of 80 he crossed
Prichard creek, thence across Eagle creek
near the head and over to the North
Fork of the Ceur d'Alene, towards is
head and found considerable gold on
many little brooks emptying into it. The
snow started him back and on his return
he prospected point of rim rock just
above what is now called the window"
claim, on Prichard creek and in two and
half days took out As in coarse gold,
with pick and pan; it being the first gold
taken out of that creek. The next spring
the creek was carefully prospected and q
trail route looked up. Prichard creek
was prospected for a distance of IA miles
and gold found IN paying quantities ell
the way wherever the bed or rim rock
could be seen and in the deep holes in
the bed of the stream; often taking out
several dollars to the pan. Taking out
what gold he needed and sending it to
California in order to create an excite
ment, he in June '82 viewed out the trail
to the mines.
