A Special from New York of Dec.
80, says: It is stated on the best
authority that Henry Willard resigned
the presideneyof of the Northern Pacific
railroad company in letter handed ii,
to the directors yesterday. upon which
no official action was taken. Inquiry
at the house vf Mr.. Frederick Billings
confirmed the truth of the statement,
but Mr.. Billings was said to be too
sick from worrying over the recent
Developments to be seen. Ills son
said that Ills father would probably
have to assume direction Of affairs
hut nothing definite on the subject
could be ascertained. A prominent
stock operator at the Windsor to-
night said that lie had positive infor-I
nation that Mr. Billings would. under
no circumstances, take the presidency
that he Was sick Of the whule btisi-
ness. and While he undoubtedly re-
tanned lis holding In ths Northern

The SUPPLEMENTARY of the Rocky
Mountain Division.

F. F. Griffin, Superintendent of the
Rocky mountain division Of the Nor
thern Pacific with headquarters at
Missoula, has given place to J. 3.
Cable, the new appointee from the
Manitoba road. Griffin's retirement
is caused by disagreemcnts between
himself aud his superiors in which. us
Il matter of course, the latter were
triumphant. The Mssonla Times In
speaking of the matter says: The fact
is, the entire management Of the road
appears to be in wlangle. Like two
young steers first fastened in the yoke.
one is pulling one way and the another
in the opposite direction. Thus the
road has come to be regarded as one of
the worst managed in the country.

The famous trotting stallion, Black

both the astonishment and admiration

Mayor Of Marshall, Mich. Black
Cloud is perhaps the most magnificent
looking horse ia race that ever trotted
upon the American turf. Mayor Wag-

Pacific and its collateral enterprises,
and was probably to-day the largest
stockholder in them, all this would
not alter his determination to take
up the scepter laid down by Mr.. VIII
lard. There was much talk lndulged
in by the few persons present as to
how Mr.. Wizards affairs would stand,
by reason of the enormous shrinkage
in values, and, while great deal of
bitterness was developed among those
who heve lost SO heavily by following
his lead, it was generally believed that
he had suffered with the rest, but that
his retirement had been compulsory.
and was forced upon him by his fellow
stockholders. The effect on the mar
ket values of the securities of the
companies, as it was thought, would
probably be in the direction of higher
prices; but in view of the dlstrust and
almost terror which seemed to pervade
all interested in these enterprises. the
effect would be only temporary one,
unless a frank and full statement Of
the exact condition of affairs should
show the companies to be in sounder
condition than was generally believed
to be the case among the brokers and
operators last night. The statement
OF the investigating committee, which
will probably be made public to.mor-
row. will be examined by those inter-
ested with the keenest interest.

Mr.. Pedigee's Tooth.

Mr.. Pedlgee settled himself Gown to
grin and bear his toothache stoicallv,
and his wife, seeing him calm. once
more, went to call on a neighbor for
sympathy in her vexat.ous troubles.
Then Mr.. Pedigee began to grow wild
and fretful under tho increasing pain.
He tossed and mo ned, a d finally med
itated deep and lasting revenge upon
his aching jaw. lie would devse a plan
which should bring sudden relief and
reflect credit upon his name forever.
Aha! he had it, and finding several
pieces of string he tied them tog. tiler,
making cord of twine about six feet
long. One end OF this he tied securely
about his tooth. Then he walked with
the courage of despair to the parlor,
and, climbing by means of chair
placed on the marble-top table, he
fastened the other end of the string to
a picture hook on the cornice. After q
momentary hesitation he jumped from
the table to the floor. In that bri
descent, the events of his life passed il,
review before him, and he thought of
the horrible possibility of the tooth not
yielding, and himself therefore being
left suspended in mid-air. What would
his wife say to return and find him
hanging against the wall like damp
dishcloth or an old coat? He reached
the floor in safety, however, and lay
there, half-stunned, under the impress
sion that the top of his head had been
torn away. Struggling to his feet and
going to a mirror he saw string hang
ing from his mouth. The pain was
rushing through his system at full
blast, and the tooth was still there.
The blasted string had broken Nelved
by his agony, he fastened wire round
his tooth, and started to repeat the ex-,
pertinent, when it occurred to him
that, as the tooth was in the upper jaw,
there might be real danger of the top
of his head flying off ii he jumped
downward; he must invent some way
of falling upwards, or of having the
strain come from below. Hoop la! he
had it again, and he secured the wire to
the lower hinge of the door, and pre-
pared to fall over backward. Just as
he had started on the second fall, Mrs.
Pedigee, alarmed by the racket she had
heard, came in, which so disturbed her
husband that he grasped the door ham
die, thus breaking the fall, but giving
his tooth an aggravating yank. He
shouted aloud and savagely unhitched
the wire from the door, but his gums
were now too tender to touch, so he
walked up and down the house. trailing
the wire after him, and whenever he ac-
cidentally tread on it he emitted howl
of anguish. Mrs. Pedigee meanwhile
followed him around, circulating and
scolding III s.nr kris arI three
languages. Finally the exhausted man
sat down near an open window. The
cool air blew up his nostrils and called
up sudden and violent sneeze, and
that bob-battened old tooth just flew
out of his mouth and cracked $15
mirror on the other side of the room.
Then Mrs. Pedigee tainted and Mr..
Pedigee went to bed, and and at last
accounts was still sleeping Boston
Globe.
