TUE DEs MONIES VALLEY RAIL
"oAp.-The Register gives the Des
Moines Valley Road this. first class
puff: Some tinae ago il was cur
rently reported that this road was to
pass into csher hands, or under the
control of other lines, and we believe
it was true that negotiations had
been entered into to that end.
Whether or not this was the case,
We have it now from reliable source
that the old company intended to
keep the control Of and run it them-
selves, and are Immediately to ncwly
equip the road. They intend to put
the whole line in thorough repair, SO
that their road bed and track will
bs excelled by no other railroad
in America. They also intend to
place ON the road now rolling stock
throughout and to have sleeping cars
run the entire length of the road.
All their cars, old as we'll rs now, arc
to DC supplied with new patent
brakes that are to be regulated by
tho engineers. To travellers. the
greatest advantage of these brakes.
is the safety which follows from their
use, as . train furnished with them
can, while running at a speed Of forty
miles an hour, be stopped in less than
Tour hundred feet. And We are in.
formed that . year ago a test of these
brakes was made at the famous
Horse Shoe Bend" on the Pennsvl
vania Central Railroad; the train O
six cars, running down a grade O
n'nety-six feet TO a mile, at the rat,
ofthirty miles an hour, was brough,
to stand still in 42O feet-seyer
car lengths.
With the new equipment of thei
road, and putting their road bed ant
track into tho most thorough repair
ana sleeping cars through thor,
entire iue and with as accom- moda
ting lot of agents, and as good ,
set OF boys for conductors as the gu,
shines On, the Valley Road now Of
iers Inducements to travellers tha

Everybody has heard of John Smith, but
the name of Louis Smith is not as familiar
as a household word. 1t seems, however,
that Louis is in luck, for he certifes that he
was the holder of quarter of combination
ticket Nos sc, AZ, 90, class 16S, of the Louis
lana State Lottery, which drew the capital
prize of twenty thousand dollars on Monday
last The ticket cost Mr.. Smith only one
dollar and twenty-five cents, and the amount
of the prize (one-fOurth of twenty thousand
dollarsl was promptly paid him on presenta-
ton of the ticket at the office of the COM
pany. This good luck is better than an in
heritance of Lockport city lots, because it
was closely followed up by the cash in hand
Having DO advice to give in reference to the
purchase of lottery tickets in general, there
only remains the propriety of suggestion
that the Louisiana Lottery Company is a
square dealing concern, and numerous
prizes are drawn.

Trinidad Foundry Burned.

We learn these points from the Iberia
Sugar Bort:
About half-past three o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, a fire broke out in the Trini-
dad foundry, situated in this town, winch
DESTROYED the entire building, with all its
contents.
The total loss is estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000, on which the total in
surance amounts to $3.50, of which $4,000
is on the stock and machinery. Messrs.
Stott & Lutzenberger had just received a
large stock from New Orleans, and had also
a large amount of finished work on hand.
some of which was to have been shipped
on the day of the fire. THIS is great loss
to the town, but a still greater one to
Messrs. Stott & Lutzenberger. They
started about seven months ago, and
have been under heavy expenses since
that time, through the purchase of ma
chinery, tools, etc. 1t is just now the
beginning of the busy season, and they had
orders enough to keep them busy for the
next six months.

The accused COMMUNICATION the opening
State rested its case, reserving the right to
introduce rebutting evidence.
Recorder Houghton expressed the
opinion, obtained through reading testi-
mony, that there is another witness neces-
sary to the case-Mr. r. N. Pasteur-and
testify. Mr.. Pasteur being in court, was
called, and testified as follows:
Between ten and eleven o'clock on the
day in question | was in the bank, and there
saw the two Mr.. Boydsin front of where Mr..
Rainney stood; saw William Boyd put his
hand, with paper. through the glass win
dow; passing the Boyds, Istopped three feet
beyond William Boyd; saw Mr.. Rainney
reading letter; William Boyd asked him,
DO you endorse those charges :" Mr.. Rain
ney handed back the letter, saying Yes;
William Boyd stepped back, and, before L
could think, lie fired; l caught hold of his
arms; while doing so, saw John Boyd with
a pistol out; | thought, at the time, John
had his pistol drawn ON me; | remarked to
William Boyd, my God, what have you
done :" he replied, Il have done it to vlndl-
cate my character" | was horrihed, and
stood there two or three minutes; William
Boyd, in the meantime, asked me to have
him arrested; | was so confused that |
walked out of the bank; met a friend, and
told him about the case, and asked hun
what | must do; he told me to attend to my
business, and if they want you they Will
come after you; when / heard they were
after me | visited the COrOner's Office; can
swear to hearing more than one shot; was
badly confused at the time.
After an extended Grafton from Mr.. Gas

ton, Judge Atocha, on behalf of the defense
said: May it please your honor, trusting
most implicitly in the strength of your hon
ors intellect as opposed to the crushing
eloouence of the counsel who first addressed
you and the spasmodic effort of the mex
counsel, we humbiy submit the same tt

Recorder Houghton committed the two
accused to the Criminal COurt-Willian

mitted to bail in the sum of $500.

The Unexpended Balances.

Il. w Taylor, Esq, First Controller of
the Treasury makes the following an
nouncement, in circular form, to those
officers of the government whose duty it is
to report their financial transactions to his
office
By the provisions of the fifth, sixth an /
seventh sections of the act of July II, 1870,
it is declared to be unlawful to expend, in
any one fiscal year, any sum in excess of
appropriations made by Congress for that
fiscal wear, and unexpended balances are
required to be carried to the surplus fund.
To carry into effect these provisions of
law, annual settlements of your accounts
for compensation and disbursement must be
made.
The accounts to the thirtieth ultimO
should embrace all compensation earned
and all expenses incurred up to and in
Guiding that date, so that no charge for
services performed or articles purchased
prior to the first instant shall appear in sub
seuuent accounts. If you have already for
warded your accounts to the close of the
fiscal year ending thirtieth ultimo, and any
bills incurred during that year are still out
standing, they should be at once paid and
forwarded with a special account to the
proper accounting officer. And If any sus-
pensions made during the year are still out
standing, awaiting explanation which you
can make, please submit the explanations
as soon as possible
Upon the adjustment of your final account
to the thirtieth If June, you will be instruct
ed what disposition to make of any unex,
pended balance which is not to be carried
into any subsequent account.
