Committed for Violating the Lottery
Law-and Selling without License.-A
man named J. c. Masuran, hailing from
somewhere in Pennsylvania, rented room
adjeurning ]. B. Dunbar's drinking saloon,
and opened a store for the sale of photo
graphs, on Monday last. He had an assist
ant or two, and was driving brisk bust
ness till Sheriff Thomas came down on the
establishment, on last Thursday afternoon
and carried the proprietor before Justice
Brown, on charge of selling without
license and violating the lottery laws of the
State.
The oper alton was carried on something
after this .uanner. A great variety OF
photographs we're ranged round the apart
ment, and on .the backs of some of them
were figures rep resenting sum of money
which the lucky purchaser was handed by
the gentlemanly proprietor" The pic
lures were sold for 20 cents with the chance
of getting prize of several dollars. When
the play opened, some Of our adventurous
gents "struck "prizes ranging from Sl.oo
up to $1,000. This wreu ght up the excite
ment to fever heat, and the shop was soiae
times thronged with custom ers and green
backs were flying as if role tle-taoie were
in the room. The man of fortune had
applied to the Clerk for license to sell, but
for some reason the clerk refused to issue
license.
great crowd gathered about Squire
Browns Office and stood patiently in the
rain while the proceedings of examination
and commitment we're going on, which
ended by the Sheriff marching the art-gal-
lery man off to Jail in default of bail Men
who had not ten cents to pay an honest
debt with, were throwing down greenbacks
with perfect recklessness, in hopes of get
ting picture with large amount marked
on the back. One fellow invested $50 in
prize photographs, and drew $1.OO. which
made him so indignant that he walked of
forgetting to pay for the pictures, and
pretty soon after Sheriff Thomas had bust
ness with the merchapt, which ruined the
enterprise which bid fair to prove one OF
the most successful that has been started
in Elkton in a long time.

"The stamping, whistling, enchoring,
entirely out of place, by vulgar boys and
