The Chieago Lotterr.

The Boston Advertisers special dispatch
gives the following account of the drawing of
the great Opera House Lottery, briefly announ-
ed by telegraph yesterday
The great event has come to pass The One
ra House in Chicago has been drawn in a lot
terry the price of the tickets being i've dollars.
The number is known, but not as yet the name
of the owner of it. The number is 5000. At
an early hour the various entrances to the Op-
era House were infested with crowd impa-
tent to secure good seats to witness the draw
ing. AT II A. M the building was thrown open
to the public, the balcony being reserved for
adde's. In short time the building was more
than comfortably filed, and at II o'clock the
members Of the committee appeared upon the
stage, preceded by the wheels of fortune, and
having with them the numbers, which had been
carefully counted several times. .Af-t. q
The manner of drawing was as follows: Two
wheels about two and four feet in diameter,
respectively, octagonal in shape; into the
larger the committee placed, in the presence OF
tho audience, tickets numbering from 1 to DO
900; into the smaller wheel 1902 tickets inscrib-
ed with the names of the premiums to wit:
the Opera House, the bust Of Lincoln, and
three hundred paintings. A number was to be
drawn from the larger wheel, and then prize
from the smaller; SO that the principal prize
the Opera House, might not be drawn until
most the other prizes were. As it was, the
18th number took prize No. 1, the Opera
toned by the committee at one wheel, and MIR.
j. G. Dore of this city at the other. The draw
ing was then conducted as above described, un-
til the whole number of prizes were drawn
The following are the first nine prizes with
the corresponding tickets: $500 drew prize
No l, The Opera House, valued at 5000 600;
Valley" valued at $4,000; 176,1S7 drew prize
No. 8, Cropseys American Autumn" valued
at $1,000: II, 365 drew prize No. A, Schussele's
Washington Irving and his Friends" valued
at $4,000; 35,460 drew prize No. 5, Mart's
woods in Autumn" valued at 5000; q 996
drew prize No. 6, Mayors Recognition" val
ued at 5000; 81 ,952 drew prize No, Z, Boards
"Deer on the Prairies," valued at $4,000; 56 800
drew prize No 8, Gignoux's alpine Scenery,
valued at $1,000; 16l, 554 drew prize No. 9, bust
of Mr. Lincoln, valued at $4,000. .I.. vi
The drawing occupied three hours A great
many rumors fill the city as to the holder OF
the first prize, but as yet nothing is known def
initely except the number. The books are still
in the hands of the committee. Everybody
seems satisfied with the manner in which the
drawing has been conducted. Everybody seems
relieved that the thing is over, and the excite.
ment now is to know the name of the new
owner of the Opera House. F.5<r ..5t

WOMEN LIVING FOR MONTHS IN HoLLow
TREE.-The Louisville Courier tells the follow
ing pitiful story:


ing pitiful story:
A phllanthropic gentleman was on his way
cut in the country yesterday afternoon, during
the driving snow storm, when he discovered a
woman crossing the fence into q wood pasture
just outside the city limits. She was thinly
clad, shivering in the cruel blast and gave ev-
ldence of severe restitution and hard living
Not seeing any house near, he wondered to
himself where the woman was going. and call
ing her, questioned her as to the cause of her
Delng out in the storm. She replied by eva
sive answers, but upon his Questioning her
more closely, she told him that she lived with
another woman in an old hollow tree in the
pasture, and had been STAYING tbera for ovar
four months past. The gentleman h;toIaS h;s
horse and proceeded to where the wor,a, III, LIE
ignated her miserable retieat to be- and thare
wrapped up in some old army hIsniuassne ie,
discovered the other woman, sleeping in ' the he
hollow of the tree, sheltered by some o n;eca ae
of board and bark. The women said thev SySss
from Cross Keys, near Atlanta, Ga, and ma
come up to the city some months ago seelrino
honorable employment, but had failed in thei,
efforts, and had been since that earning live
lihood by gathering shucks, doing washing.
Sc, meeting misfortune with heroism wor,
thy of the noblest OF women.
The gentleman who found them soon made
their case known to the people ofthat vicinity,
and in few hours the poor women were taken
from their uncomfortable refuge and well pro-
vided for. This is but one instance ILLUSTRATIVE
OF the suffering among the poorer classes.

The Auburn Murder.
JOHNSON, THE SUSPECTED MAN, PROVES AN
ALIBI.

johnson, the laborer arrested on suspicion OF
being concerned in the murder of the two wo-
men at Auburn, appears to have had no con-
nection " it'll the affair. He averred his inno-
cence from the first, and gave clear account
of his whereabouts during the week in which
the deed was committed. His statement given
in the Lewiston Journal, is as follows:
LEFT Nathaniel Maybury's in Turner, Mon
day morning. Came to Widow Millets in Au-
burn. Got there when the sun was about half
an hour high at night. Stopped all night Mon
day. Left after breakfast, Tuesday A. M. at s
or o o'clock. Went to Packard's store at Au-
burn Hill. Staid there till noon; got dinner
at Austin Kingsleys; then went to Auburn
Hollow IN. Auburn); from there to Turner, to
anew house near Sylvester Bradford, : staid
all night there.
Lett Wednesday morning before the murder.
Came back to the -Four Corners, just on the
edge OF Turner above North Auburn). Got
there at 10 or II o'clock. Sawed wood in the
afternoon for q shoemaker, and staid with him
all night Wednesday. Left Thursday morning
at 9 o'clock. Went to q tavern at Auburn
Hollow 1.-TWO miles from where the murder as
committed.) Wanted to stop, but said they
were full. Then went to Mr.. Briggs's Bun
ker's?) brick house and stayed all night Thurs
day. left Friday morning and took dinner
with Henry Smith. Then went to Mr.. Leav-
tits (near the Poor FARM where L was arrest
ed"
The first thing to be done, of course, was to
verify the prisoners statement, if it would adj
init oft Accordingly Deputy Littlefield aft
er taking down the prisoners statement in
writing from his own lips, as published above,
at once proceeded to the localities named, or
to those essentially concerned in order to dis
cover the movements of johnson during We'd
nesday, Wednesday night, Thursday and
Thursday night Deputy L. accordingly proceed
ed to the honse OF Mr.. Wheaton, shoemak-
er, abont three miles from where the murder
was committed, in the direction of Turner
Mr.. Wheaton states that Wednesday after
noon johnson sawed wood for him; that
Wednesday evening there was Singing
School near by and johnson was there during
the evening; that johnson remained at his
house all night; that he went to bed at the
usual bed time; that he ate breakfast then
and went away about nine o'clock Thursday
morning.
This account given by Mr.. Wheaton is con-
frmed by Wheaton wife. That johnson saw
ed wood at Wheaton's Wednesday p. NJ, is
stated by twenty witnesses, many of whom al
so saw him during the evening This testimo-
ny seems to be conclusive that johnson was
not in a situation to commit the murder, at the
time it was probably committed His expla-
nations of his movements on Thursday and
subsequently during the week seem to be
equally and clearly in his favor. The conclu-
sion seems to be irresistible that he cannot be
the guilty man. IL.
