A card signed by the above is going the
rounds of the press One statement in it
strikes the reader as very peculiar, namely:
"that in managing sngle-number draw
ing, if the commissioners OF such lottery
allow the ticket-holder the privilege OF
calling out the number on his ticket and
have the tag or ballot with corresponding
mum Der on it shown him in the presence OF
the audience and then placed in the Wheel
such a lottery company resorting to such a
practice proves itself to be fraud" This
statement is untrue and unworthy OF such
gentlemen. Will these generals please say
how single-number lottery companies
swindle; is it not by simply having all tags
or ballots with numbers on them cores
bonding to the numbers of the tickets they
have sold, not placed in the wheel at
all: thus if a man buys a ticket with num-
her Sc on it, the tag or ballot with 56 on
it is kept out of the wheel, so, OF course,
the ticket-hold. or is bound to draw blank,
because his number is not represented in
the wheel at all; but suppose the holder OF
the ticket asks to see The tag with 56 on 1t
placed in the wheel, and he sees 1t done; he
knows then his ticket has chance to draw
prize. This certainly is the only fair test
of an honest drawing Should the ticket
holder not be there in person, he could
write to some one, asking them to call out
his number and see it go in the wheel.
These generals were very brave soldiers
and no doubt honest in their lottery work
but they certainly are not posted as to
what constitutes an honest lottery drawing
and their statements show their Ignorance

that prices will be sustained. as wool can

that even at present low prices Tor wool
goods do not pay a profit, and many oil

THE QUADRUPLE MURDER.

Great Excitement, and a Lyuching if the
Culprits are Found-The Negro in Tigh
Place.
JACKSON, Mich, Nov. 23.-The negro.
Bolts. from an interview with the sherifs,
claims that when he heard the noise, as
stated in yesterday report, to have sprung
from his bed and concealed himself in
chest which was found to be too small to
admit his body. He further claims that he
heard the cry "oh," but heard no firing.
The former story is highly improbable.
Some time since his brother was discharg-
ed by White and a quarrel ensued. Bolis'
brother threatened to kill White with an
iron bar which he held in his hand. On
the night of the 22d, two clerks from Jack
son, coming from q wedding at Concord,
at O'Clock in the morning, saw three men
standing by the roadside near Crouch's. 1t
is reported now that the family drank
cider before retiring, and it is believed it
was drugged, a quantity remaining in
the pitcher has been sent to Ann Arbor
for analysis. Should it be drugged the
stomachs of the victims will be removed
and examined. The ball was taken from
Cronch's head this morning and found
somewhat battered, but proved to be of
thirty-two calibre. The scene of the muir
der Yves visited by large concourse of
people this morning, hundreds standing in
the rain about the house. There are
threats of lynching should the murdersrs
be found. No clue gained as yet.

BILE irregularity. The demand from shorts
was brisk, particularly during the early
part of the day, and prices were advanced

Ing was easier and the improvement was

Speculative trading was mainly in the

see if plan cannot be devised by which
the existing difficulties may be surmount-
ed without resorting to another disastrous
war. It Is understood that the managers
OF all the roads, including the Milwaukee
q st. Paul, have signifed the1r intention
to be present at the mesting. Hopes are
entertained that wise counsels will pre-
vail and that the meeting will pave the
way ror an amicable adjustment of
The troubles. Before the Iowa
pool can be re-organized, however. It will
be necessary to perfect an arrangement
for the admission of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul on Council Bluffs passenger business.
The st. Paul insists that this point shall
be settled before entering into negotia-
tons for the reorganization of the Iowa
Trunk Line association. If the Rock Is
land adheres to the position it has taken
all along, the Milwaukee & st. Paul will
not gain it's point unless it agrees to a re-
organization of the Northwestern Traffic
association and allows the Rock Island a
full proportion of the st. Paul business.
There are some who claim that
the differences between the Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the Rock Island are not as
great as supposed, and that the two roads
are on better terms than appears on the
surface. The claim is made that an IN
derstandiag exists between the two roads,
and that they are trying to crowd the
Northwestern, Burlington & Wabash, and
compel them to accept smaller percent
ages than they have had heretofore. The
Union Pacific is said to be aiding the
Rock Island and the Milwaukee & st.
Paul in their schemes. The frequent con-
ferences between the general manager of
the Union Pacific, the Mil
waukee & st. Paul, and the
Rock Island held during the last few days
are Interpreted as Indicating that some
thing Of this sort is going on.

the purpose and that the public should be invit-
ed TO be present at the test.
