suit by Member Of the Association
Curious Developments.

The St Louis Dsaoerat of Friday, con
tains the following, reference to which was
made in our telegraphie dispatches of yes
,erday morning:
Mr.. John King, well and flvorably
known to all lovers Of mint julsps, brandy
smsshes and Other American drinks, as
the prophet Of Kings saloon, under the
Planters House, has f ed a petition in the
CircGit Court, setting forth some rather Gu
riOus facts connected with the great "Pas-
chall House Draging." The petition is
quite lengthy, and having been filed at a
late hour yesterday afternoon. we are not
able at present TO give more than brief
synopsis of its contents.
Ii ststes that Alex. kelsey, Dan. Able
and others, composed the "Paschall House
Association; that Philip 5. LInham- was
selected "a the agent to dispose Of the tick
eta and attend 10 the other part Of the
business, for which he was to receive GER
tain commission, and was guaranteed
against all losses that might be met. Il
was agreed that all the tickets remaining
unsold ct the time Of the drawing we're to
belong to the persons who had put in the
property constituting the principal prizes,
and the stakeholder who Withdrew his
property before the drawing was TO forfeit
p per cent. Of its value.
With this understanding Mr.. King put
in his house, worth $4,000. He states
that the PGsChall House was really worth
only SlO0, O00 and was put into the lottery
as the first prize at S23OOO0; that the
house Of Dan Able at Memphis was worth
S25 900, and vas taken in al $50. 600; the
house on eighth street worth $1,000, at
$4,000; the house on Morgan street worth
$1,000, at $4,000, the house on Chouteau
avenue, worth $1,000, at $4,000; the house
No. 7l6 Chestnut street, worth $4,000. at
$4,000; the house No. 4l2 Morgan street.
worth $1,000 st $4,000; the Jefferson
City house, $1,000, at $4,000; the house
No. 1913 Chestnut street, worth $4,000. at
$4,000.
He further states that 10000 tickets
were sold, at $780, 600, and demands a
statement from the agents and the COM
mittee Of the association, composed Of
| Kelsey and the Abes. He estimates the
| outlay for advertising, etc, at 100000. and
asks Tor a statement of costs and expenses.
he alleges that Kelsey & Co., received
over 100000, and dem1nd5 that they be
required 10 exhibit their accounts. He
has received for his share S4IS0-S26OO in
money snd the balance in tickets, and as
his houss was drawn by the association,
and he did not get as big 4 share a. he
thinks he was entitled TO, he now objects
to making a deed for the property, and
repudiates the whole business as an illegal
transaction.
