When Jones, Sharon, and their partners
struck their Big Bonanza mine, they were
very poor men, and it was called lucky
cnance-nothing more. Out of every hun
died thousand men who have goue into
mining, it has been calculated that only ten
win a fortune, which is about one IN every
ten thousand. The very liberal scheme, the
Golden Drawing Of the Louisiana State Lot
terry Company, gives one chance in Six. 1his
they are enabled to do on their large capital
and resources, as well as the number OF
tickets that have already been sold. At first
il was feared that prizes might be scaled, but
it is now announced they will be paid III full,
and that positively no postponement will
take place. We advise all those who intend
taking tickets to do so at once, that they may
be sure to secure their tickets. 1t Is very
plain that somebody must win the prizes.
They will all be drawn they will all be paid
1t is much better to invest little money
with the prospect of splendid return, than
to throw it away on Injuries or spend II
recklessly. Think of this, all who have
faith in their ''lucky STAR" Fortune pours
out her bounties on December Pinot before,
and perhaps never atterward, for huadreds OF
people who will have missed their golden
opportunity.

TUE CARAFA MURDER CASE.
The Accused Released.

The celebrated case of Dido Baptiste and
Francisco Martini, charged with the murder
Of the man Carafa, was called up for trial in
the Superior Criminal Court on Monday
morning 1t will. be remembered that the
accused were indicted some time in Novem-
Der, 1872 charged with the murder of young
Italian by the name of Carafa, at the Lake
End, near Migueis bath house, in August Of
that year.
1t was also charged that the accused had
obtained an insurance Of $4,000 on the lite
of Carafa, and it was supposed their desire to
obtain the money led to the commission OF
the crime. They were convicted in the First
District Court in January, 1873, of murder
without capital punishment, and sentenced
to the State Penlteniary fer life. The case
was appealed, and the verdict set aside. Since
that time they have been in the Parish Prison
awaiting trial Yesterday morning the Attor-
ney General moved for a continuance, on the
ground that the principal witness for the
State, q man by the name OF Ward, was alb
sent. Capt. Malone, Chief Of Detectives,
was put upon the stand, and testified that he
had been informed that Ward was seen IN
New York city a few days ago.
Messrs. r. N. Ogden and Anthony Sam boa
represented the accused. Col. Ogden stated
that the prisoners had been confined III the
Parish Prison several years awaiting trial
shat as the witness Ward, after numerous Ell
forts had been made to find him, had not as
yet PIT n en- appearance, and that as the case
| had | cen continued number OF times at the
rec ueet of the Attorney General ne moved
thai the accused be released on their own re
cognizance.
Judge Steele entertained the motion ant

A SUICIDE.
John Taylor, Colored, browns
Himself.
Marital Infelicity the Cause.

On Monday morning, about half-past IL
O'Clock, John Taylor, colored, who resides
near Carrollton, committed suicide by jump
ing into the river at point about half mile
below the Barracks.
He was accompanied by his friend, Dave
Norman. To him he had been complaining
all morning about his great trouble, but gave
no evidence of his desire to COM
NIT suicide. 1t seems he had just
discovered the fact his wife had
proved uufaithful to him, and, not desiring
to irjure either her or her seducer, he deter
mined to kill himself, and insisted on his
friend joining him for a walk. Becoming
both somewhat tired, they sat on q
log by the river side, and, taking
advantage of the moment when his
friend had turned his head, he leaped All
ruptly into the river. Everything possible
was done to rescue him, but in vain, for be-
fore he could be reached he had sunk for the
last time
Deceased WAS about twenty-five years of age,
and leaves one child by another woman. UE
to this morning rs was employed at the New
Orleans Press, but gave up his place, as he
said, because he was too troubled to do any
work
