WIZARDS DETHRoNEMENT,

The fall of Willard, the Northern Pacific
Railway manager and inancier, was not
unforeseen. Mere retiracy from the Presi-
Gency of the various companies would not
have been so serious, but there was CON-
plete failure of his financial schemes
sufficient to involve his private fortune.
The vote of the Northern Pacific Di.
rectory giving him $4,000 a year for the
entire period in which he served as Presi-
dent of the company will be but meager
capital for such man as he to recemmence
the battle with. But he began with
nothing he demonstrated what boldness
and shrewdness may do, and also what the
lack of financial wisdom may bring about !;
mere dash may win for time, but it is
not q substantial virtue. Willard was of
too rapid growth; he attempted what so
many before him have tried, to carry too
much. He was thrown into competition
with the best trained financial diplomats of
the age, and the contest revealed his weak
mesa. He leaped into an arena where all was
financial wreck and ruin, and to his credit
be it said, he brought something of order
out of confusion and carried to completion
the third transcontinental railway but
that done, there came greater task-the
keeping of the work steady upon its inan-
cial legs, and to that he was unequal. His
has been brilliant career and not useless
one, but we have not the disposition to
analyze the causes that has brought it to
close with any degree OF severity. for he
is fallen power. Whatever there was in
his career or fall, that is of value TO men,
will not be lost to them. The great lesson
of the burning irons is too apparent to be
pointed out, as also the rashness of over
taxing the strength, and the folly of assum-
ing that financial wisdom ia other than a
matter of growth and training.

IT is proven by the most recent statistics that in

the latter is, to great extent, verify and we must

Something of sensation was produced
near New Market, in the eastern section of
Frederick county, Monday morning, by the
discovery of the corpse of newly born
white female child, which had been buried
several days in the cellar of a house on the
farm owned by Robert Bean. The present
occupant of the premises is young man, who
has been living there about two weeks. On
going down to the cellar this morning he de-
teeted an offensive odor, and soon after found
the body OF the infant buried slightly below
the surface of the ground, having around
its neck tightly-drawn strip of linen. A
jury ofinquest was Summoned and an examina-
ton made by DIR, J. W. Downey, which dis
closed the fact of the child having been born
alive, There is as yet no solution ofthe ease,

On last Saturday, March 20, at IL Q clock,
NJ. the Jefferson Medical College, Philadel-

cises were held in Philadelphia magnificent
Academy of Music. The youngest member of
the class was John A. Burlington, of New
Windsor, a recent graduate of New Windsor
College and the only son of DR.. and Mrs. j.
F. Burlington, of New Windsor. The highest
prize offered was 500 for the best Thesis,
and was awarded to our young and worthy
friend, John A. Burlington. His father and
mother left New Windsor for Philadelphia on
last Friday evening, and were present on
Saturday to witness their son graduated ana
crowned the first honor man of his class.
1t is an interesting fact, also, in this con-
nection, that the young doctors parents were
not aware until the day of his graduation that
their son was competing for the honor, nor
did he himself know that he was the success
full candidate until he read it in morning
paper on commencement day.
