All Gees Fortress.

It is a fact so well known that refer
euce to it is almost idle, that the Chi
nese lottery men have for some time
past taken unusual pains to barricaGe
and fortify their dens in Chinatown, so
that the police have had hours work in
chopping down heavy, irOn-plated
doors to effect an entrance in their
raids. But all these petty precautions
are dwarfed into insignihcance when
compared with those taken by Celes-
tai who has constructed regular eta
del, not in Chinatown, but in the bust
ness center of the city. Some weeks
ago smooth, bland-looking Chinaman
leased the store No. 518 Commercial
street for lottery agency. Hiring
corps Of fOundrymen and carpenters,
An Gee, the proprietor, set them at
work. About fifteen feet from the front
door he ran a partition of fOur-inch
scantling across the building. Upon
this partition was bolted and riveted
iron plate half an inch in thickness. On
either side behind this bulwark are
brick walls. Directly in the rear is an
other partition. This also is of four
inch planking and half-inch iron. In
front of the first barricade is a small
cigar-shOp, the Ostensible business OF
the lottery agent. Here he stations a
''spotter," who, at the approach of an
officer or any suspicious character, has
only to pull string leading to bell
inside the fortress, when in a moment
the heavy door in the barricade swings
to and nine iron bars shoot into place.
In the citadel the Celestial has a stove,
into which he can throw the tickets in
case of a raid, and in the floor is a trap
door that opens up two secret avenues
of escape. So strong and impregnable
has the fort been constructed that it is
calculated an entrance could not be eff
fected by force inside of three hours.
The vast expense of fitting up the
agency is an indication that the lottery
business is by no means a losing one,
and is not likely to be soon stamped
out.-,Sa1a Francisco Post.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
A Full Detail of tho Manaer of Their
Working.

working.
New YORK. Nov. 16-A committee of
the Pennsylvania Legislature began to-
day the investigation intol some matters
in connection with the Standard Oil co m
pany. Henry M. Flagler, the former sec
retary of the company, said he knew moth
ing of the alleged payment of money to
z. G. Patterson. Was aware of its having
some years ago being brought against the
company by Patterson, which litigation
he considered was brought to blackmail
the company and to pair off.
Jno. Darchbeld, of this city, a member
of the executive board of the Standard Oil
company, gave the history of the present
litigation. The suit grew out Of demand
made by the auditor general of Pennsyl-
vania in 1881, for statement of the busi
ness relations of the company to other in
dustries in states. The limit of time
allowed for its submission was so small
that the statement could not be prepared
and the matter went by default. Subse-
quently when proceedings were about to
be begun by the state the witness offered
to furnish all desired information
if the proceedings were abandoned,
Patterson appearing in case. He was OBJ
jected to On the ground that he represent
ed an element il the state antagonistic to
the company, and when seseral inefectu-
al attempts to get him out Of the case had
been made, it was decided to let the leg
islature go on. the witness continuing to
review the matter up to the time when
Patterson agreed to desist from further
attacks, and his relations with the
company since that time have been
friendly. On cross examination by Gowen
the witness said Roger Sherman alleged
that attorney Patterson was in no
way connected with the Standard Oil com
pany or any of its affiliated companies
and never had been. A meeting with
Sherman and the witness took place in the
metropolitan hotel and was ostensibly for
the purpose of notifying the witness that
Patterson was 10 longer party TO the
agreement at Harrisburg, by which the
trial was to be held on answers to interro-
gatories prepared. "Did not Sherman
PROPOSE" asked Gowen, shat if Patter-
son could get as much from your COM
pany as he could from the Plate he would
change his position with regard to the
suit?" "No," answered the witness. ''Sher-
man said Patterson would listen to no
overtures for friendly relations until
he was reimbursed for the expenses
he had incurred for his numerous
litigations against the Standard Oil COM
pany. At that time it was understood that
he was preparing new at ack against the
company. The amount paid him accord
ing to agreement was $4,000, and he was
placed in a position in the Enterprise
Transit company, a Pennsylvania corpor-
alton, at $4,000 salary. The Standard
Oil company's capital has been $3,500,OOO,
and the aggregate capital of the affiliated
companies in the Standard, chartered un-
der the laws of Pennsylvania, was $780,
100000, and all these paid taxes to the
state in proportion to the assessed value of
their property. The committee adjourned
to meet in Philadelphia on December Sd.
