A MILLIONAIRE'S FAT*.
Ills DYING HAffIWAGJB AT HENDEBSONWLLB.
fFrom the Richmond Dispatch.]
James JT. Wheatley left Tennessee for
Brooklyn over twenty five years ago,
wben a hid of sixteen }ear«. Being pen»-
niiess lie pitched in with a will, au'd at
the «ge of thirty-eight found himself a
millionaire, married an estimable Brook
lyn lady, mid turned his attention to the
doing of good works, 110 wjs chief
mover in many charitable nchetim, I'Fe
uented a rectory to St. Peter's Episcopal
parish, and founded * home
for consumptives. He lived in a mag*
iiificent house, lie did not drink,, chew
or atnoko. The panic ol 1873 cnme, and
Mr. Wheatley found hi rowel f crippled,
lie left tlie sugar business and went to
Philadelphia to manufacture watev-proof
cloth. Later ho went into the shirt!
business in New York. On the »igLi
of August 27tU,1878, Officer Gannon, of
the New pol'ce, found Mr. VVheat
loy lying ourjeTnidewalk at the *>rner
of Oaarles and Morton street*.. He wus
moaning piteously fc* help. His vest
- « ruffled shirt
and collar betokened a struggle. He
veemed under the influence of a power
ful drug. To the offiser the prostrate
man said he had been robbed and nearly
murdered by highway men. He pain
fully told tlie story of the assault upon
Jiim. j,A" he was walking along Sixth
avenue, just at dark, he said, he was
suddenly assaulted by three men, who
threw him dowQi nud began to beat hinv
'JTiey then tore open his vest and robbed
hiin of $20,000. in money .and bonds.
On the person of the victim were found
securities valued at 115.000, together
with a small sum of mouey, a valuable
gold watch, and a set of diamond studs.
The police did not credit the story ot
Wheafcfeur, but his friends to this day
express thfr opinion that he was robbed.
Ho was takiug to a hospital, and leaving
it without tfcgoodsbye to his wife, disap
peared. Theft it was discoved that he
was a defaulter to a large amount. D>
who were put upon his track
found him at flendersonville, a small
mountain town of North Carolina, but
found him on his death-bed. He had
entered Hendersonville last winter, rag*
god, foot sor«, and sick. He worked,
though and stayed in the town, whore he
mude the acquaintance of
named Josepbiuo Bond. Her relative*
were in good circumstances. A warm
attachment quickly sprang up between
Mr. Wheatley and Miss Bond. Although
the former was somewhat eccentric in
his behavior, his acquaintances attributed
it to his illness, and had no idea that he
was demented. Mh Wheatley'■ illness
grew upon him* He suffered from
Bright's disSaae of the kidneys. Miss
Bond frequently visited the house where
he boarded and tenderly nursed him.
jfer attentions gave rise to some scandal
and in order to stop the gossip Miss
Bond proposed to Mr. Wheatley that
they should be married, and that he
should be taken to her house. The in
sane fugitive readily afsented and when
he was in a dying condition a clergyman
was summoned, and the. ceremony was
.solemnized. Mr. Wheatley was then
borne to Miss Bond's house on a bed,
from which he nrrer stirred until his
death. The woman he' had wedded
tenderly nursed him until his demise,
and then his remains were buried in the
-village ohureli yard. An ii.tmate per
sonal friend of the former millionaire,
hearing of his sad enu, has just brought
the body to Brooklyn, aud interred it in
Greenwood Cemetery.

[From Kie Pittsburg [Pa] Telcgrab.]
Some time ago a citizen ot this place
was very ill. He fe)l into a stupor,
whiph lasted three or four days. He
vras carefully watched by his wife aiui
one or two ladies frpm the neighborhood.
One afternoon the attending physican
•aid he could not live through the day,
* and the sorrowing wife, with N a view to
1 laving everthing in readiness for the
j end, held a consultation with her fri nds
a* to the anangements for the funeral.
The conversation was held at the bedside
of the dying man, and in a short time
all the details were arranged except the
* " names of those who should be asked to
be pall bearers. Three or four young
gentleman bad keen selected, whtm the
wife sald in a sobbing tone, Buyable to
Mm occasion, 'How would Mr. so and so
do?' 'Oh, he would do nicely,' echoed
the chorns of friends; he's such a nice
young Ba*n.' There was a sudden movel
- under the coverings of the bed,
and the dying, husband slowly raised
himself on one elbow, rubbed his eyes,
and said in a weak voice, *No, he won't
do.' I ain't going to have that fellow
as one of my pair bearers.' The ladies
wet? automated at this revival of th?
sick man, but the wife laid -him back
on tlje pillows, and said soothingly:
•Never mind, dear; don't worry. This is
a matter that need not trouble you. It
|a a std duty which wo have to perform
t after you ait? gone.' 'No it is'nt, said
the husband crossly. That fellow isn't
going to be one of my pall bearers. I
don't like him, aud I never did, and_if
you are going to have him I'll get well
see if I don't. Again he Aril . back in
the bed and became unconscious, but jp
a few hours there .came a change for the
better. To day he walks the streets as
hale and hearty as any man.

danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using It as before. It baa
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis

that it Ims gained the reputation of being infalli
