A Strange and Startling Dream-Is Their,
a Spirit Worldt

Spirit Worldt
A remarkable dream or preternatural visit
alton recently occurred in Louisville, KY; Mr..
V. Il. Morera, a gentleman well and favorably
known about town, on retiring for the night,
feeling unwell and nervous was very restless
in his sleep, but seemed TO himself to be wide
awake and in full control of his senses. A
vision appeared in his dream showing him n
large flaming number commanding him to OBJ
tain 1t from the lottery and then vanished
The dream was SO startling as to fully awaken
him, and although one who never believed in
lotteries or upheld them, yet try as he would
he could not shake of the vision or forget the
numbers which seemed to be burned in his
brain. Finally he called at the Office of the
Commonwealth Distribution Co., and paying
81, asked for a ticket with the numbers
of his dream on it. Fortunately the number
was unsold and his ticket given him. The
drawing was soon to come off and so nervous
and excited had he become that, although
against his principles, he determined to wit
ness it, and strangely enough, he saw his
number drawn from the wheel and the hand
some prize of 5000 was his. Was this simply
coincidence? Who can tell2 Next draw
ing takes place in Louisville, KY, April 30 !;

this morning, on a charge Of falling to main
tain order in his bar-room. Captain Edger
said the bar-room was nuisance to the neigh

would gather there, when all decent people
were obliged to close their ears against the
language heard issuing from the bsr-room.
On Saturday a colored band was playing in
Mr.. Lippe's back yard, and sacred hymns
were intermixed with coarse, rebold songs
and fights took place. lie further stated he
discovered children drinking beer bought at
the saloon, whether with their parents leave
he did not know. One boy he found lying in
the gutter, half naked, in the hot sun. lie
lifted him up and put him in the shade, the
boy fighting him. The place was a disgrace
to any neghboroood.
Other witnesses gave evidence to the same
effect A fine Of SIS was imposed upon Mr..
Lppe.
