RAILROAD TRAFFIC
Seriously Interfered With by the Ex-
treme Cold Weather.

CHICAGO January 1.-THE extreme cold
weather of yesterday and last night has
retarded all passenger and freight trains.
The mails from all quarters of the country
were DELAYED in their arrivals to-day from
three to sixteen hours. Eleven miles
southwest of the stock-yards on the Wa
bash road stands stock train of twenty
cars OF famishing and freezing live stock.
The train was showed under and stalled
Tuesday night, since which time, it IS be-
lieved, the animals have been without
food and water. A rescuing party drove
within three miles of the belated train,
then abandoned their sleighs and walked
the remainder of the way. Although sew
eral engines have been sent down the
train could not be reached, and the party
returned, several badly frost-bitten.
The rescuing party succeeded in reach
ing the snow-bound train on the Wabash
road late this afternoon. OF the twenty
cars of live stock all were cattle save two
or three cars of hogs. Some cattle were
found frozen and others partly frozen.
The latter were Immediately killed
The exact number thus killed was
not ascertained. The remainder of the
cattle were fed and cared for by the rail-
road company, who are making every
effort to bring them through. Another
large force of men were sent out to-day
and were to receive fifty cents an hour.
Arriving near the train they refused to go
to work. They could not see ten PAGES
ahead for the immense drifts OF snow, and
returned nearly frozen. The hogs are not
suffering badly, assthere happened to be a
car of corn near them which the company
used. No hogs were frozen. The COM
pany hope to bring the belated train into
the yards tomorrow. Extraordinary
efforts to this end will be made.
The thermometer has been going down
the entire afternoon and evening, and at
IL O'Clock was 24e below zero. Reports

HENRY WILLARD
Makes an Assignment for the Benefs OF
His Creditors, and Taras Over
All His Property,
Including the Madison-AYenae Mansion,
Not Yet Completed-Ilis Assets
and Liabilities.

New. YORK, January 4.-Henry Willard
made an assignment to-day for the benefit
of his creditors to VIM. Endicott, jr., and
Horace White, of New York. He trans
fers his property and mansion on Madison
avenue, with instructions to dispose OF
them at public or private sale, and apply
the proceeds-first, to the payment of the
interest of a, mortgage of 100000 upon
the property; secondly, to carry out any
existing contracts for the completion OF
the edifice. Provision is also made for the
payment OF any Indebtedness of Willard to
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany. The instrument further recites that
the residue, after the entire Indebtedness
shall be disposed OF, shall be turned over
to his wife, Mrs. Fanny Garrison Willard.
The real property included by Willard S
assignment is the block bounded by Fiftieth
and Fifty-first streets and Madison and
Fifth avenues, including the museum re-
Gently erected upon Madison avenue 'front.'
The property is said to be worth $40 0,000,-
600. The property recently conveyed by
Willard to his legal advisers is expressly
excluded from the conveyance to his as
signees, also other real property possessed
by Willard, including his handsome sum-
mer residence at Dobbs Ferry, on the
Hudson, which is worth now about $780,
900. The extent of his Indebtedness to
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany is not yet ascertained, nor could any
information be obtained as to his other
liabilities. 1t is said that he still owns
large interests in railroad and other COM
panies, and that his wife holds govern
ment bonds to the amount OF S5,000,000.
No accurate statement of his assets, how
ever, is obtainable tonight. Willard is still

THE IDEAL SOLDIER.

the ideal soldier, seeing that, because OF
fallen human nature, he is all but an

Gen Sherman: you can't expect all
the cardinal virtues, uncle, for $l3
month" No, but you can get good
many OF the simpler martial virtues for
less money. There is not much subtlety

afraid as | am you would run away" /
do think three out OF four men would run
away If they dared. There are doubtless
some men whom nature has constituted SO
obtGse as not to know fear, and, who,
therefore, deserve no credit for their cour-'

that in cold blood the mass of us would
prefer the air quiet rather than whistling

because in the presence of their comrades
and of the danger they are too great cow
aris to evince poltroonery. Thus the av-

old shoulder-to-shoulder days. British

handicraftsmen, German bauers, French
peasants and French artisans were
all pretty much alike made
creditable "cannon-fodder." They would
all march into fire and thole its
sting, each mans right and left comrades
reacting on him, and his rear file support

the national idiosyncrasies developed
themselves. The funk zone, so to
speak, had been traversed, and the Briton
marched on steadfastly, the German adj
vaRced with slower step, the Russian

MURDERER HANGED.
q Negro Desperate Executed at Baton
Rouge.

BATON RoUGE, La, January 4.-Valmer
Rector, colOred, was hanged here to-day
Tor the murder offDuncan Williams, in
December, 1852. The murder was cold
blooded and cowardly one. 1t is stated
that Rector also murdered his stepfather
without provocation, but escaped punish
ment by the laxity of the courts. On the
scaiIoid Rector addressed the people. lie
warned all to avoid whisky, which had
brought him 10 the gallows. The sheriff
drew down the black cap, affixed the rope
and stepped off the scaffold, closely fol-
lowed by Rector. The culprit was taken
back, but refused TO remain, following the
deputies when they left. The sheriff was
compelled 10 call on some OF the by
ssaniers Tor assistance, the deputies being
unable to keep Rector on the scaffold.
The prisoner uttered terrifying screams,
and begged piteously for life. Finally
his limbs were bound and the hanging
proceeded with. This is the first execu-
ton in this parish under the civil law

LassoinS n LiOness.

Leadville Democrat: From Texas q. w.
Palmer came to Colorado and began to
hunt antelope and deer for livelihood.
He throws the lasso with the accuracy of
a rifieman. Up on Hardscramble Noun
tain few days ago he halted befor a half
eaten deer that had been killed by a
mountain lion. With knowledge of the
beast and its habits, Palmer concluded
that there were lioness and her cub near
by, and he determined to capture her, and
returning to his cabin, a short distance
equipped. he proceeded cautiously, and
finally discovered the lioness with her cub
beneath proje cling rock. 1t was then
that he motioned to his son, who followed
at his heels, to stop, and instructing him
to make his appearance at signal from
him, he lett ths path to mount the rocks
that sheltered the beast. Reaching the
summit, he uncoiled the rope from his
arm and prepared to make the battle.
The signal was given to the brave young
fellow, who made his appearance short
distance from the lair. The beast was
about to leap forward, but the father sent
! the loop over her head. There was brief
struggle, in which the moose vas slipped,
but in second more it was secure upon
the hind legs. The end OF the rope
had been previously thrown over the
limb of tree whose boughs
spread around and the contest began in
earnest. After terrible struggle Palmer
succeeded in suspending his prize in the
air. and, fastening the rope securely, he
sprang from the rocks and proceeded to
tie the remainder of the limbs. Accom-
plishing this, he thought it about time to
bag the cub, and reached down 70 grasp
/ it but the little fellow turned It's quick as
| a cat upon his back and fastened his claws
| in his throat. He held on like a leech,
| while the father, who had found it i'm
possible to eXtricate himself, shouted to
| his son to use club. This was ineffect-
ual, however, and throttling the infant
lion with his left hand, he pressed down
with all his might, and it was not until he
had almost killed tie animal that the son
was enabled to release the claws from his
/ fathers neck. Yesterday Mr.. Palmer ar
rived in the city with both of the animals
and Gagged them in Schlosss old building.
