what ~ Said In New York About Her
Hasty Flight.
tNew York World, To-day.l
It was reported yesterday that the steam
boat Shady Side, formerly OF this city, and
which had recently been plying between
Wilmington, Del, and philadelphia, had
slipped away from her wharf in Whining
ton ct an early hour yesterday morning and
started ON voyage to this city leaving
debts amounting to 5000 or 5000. The
Shady Side is owned by Mr.. Green Wright OF
Morrisania, who also owns the steamboats,
Harlem and Morfisania The Shady Side
had not returned 70 the city at q late hour
last evening! At the steamboat wharf in
Morrisania 1t was said that Mr.. Wright lett
for Wilmington few days ago and would
probably return on the Shady Side. One
boat had been chartered by Phnadelphia
company and was taken from this city on
May 81. Mr.. Wrights employees taid that
the company agreed to pay certain sum
for the boat every two weeks, but had
failed TO do so. They did not believe that
the boat ! ad run into debt TO the amount OF
So ,000, but that 1t wss possible that the COM
pany which chartered her may be indebted
several hundred dollars for wharfage and
other expenses. Mr.. Wright intended to
bring the boat back to this city simply be-
cause the company had failed 70 keep its
contract. Mr.. Wright, 1t Is said holds secur.
tiles which are ample to cover the full
amount due on his contract.

Are the Louisiana Lottery Drawings Fair ?


The two commissioners who superintend
their single number drawings, when inter
viewed GU the subject, reluctantly admitted
that the numbers which were placed ia the
tubes and put in the wheels where only
counted twice year. They draw the lottery
every month. Is not this barefaced fraud +!
Their excuse is that it would take ten days
labor, With four Rsssitants. How, then, can
any ticket buyer In this lottery know that
the number on his ticket has correspond
ing number in the wheel? II they desire an
honest drawing, why do they not, on the
day of and just before their drawings, al
low the ticket-holder the privilege of calling
out his number and see that 1t Is placed In
the wheel SO he then can have some chance
of its being drawn out with prize from the
other wheel Other lotteries have done so.
Under their system, why don't they make
their capital 81 l,0O0,0O09 They might as
well. Is not the published list of winners
in their lottery also fraud? 1t is very easy
for few dollars to get persons who are will
ling to let them use their names as the hold
ers of big prize. Is it any longer wonder
how they controlled the Louisiana Gonsti
tutional Convention, courts and Legisla-
tuTes and former postoftice administra
tion Under this system of drawing, it vii
be no trouble TO make money enough tc
control and run our very government.

Long Island.
On Monday, the oath ult., II. +. S.
Lunt and Merritt w. Lunt went out trawl
fishing about five miles southeast of Long
Island Head, in a small skif about thirteen
feet long. 1t being late before they set and
underrun their travis and having about a
thousand hooks to take up, it was nearly
dark when they started for home with four
or five hundred pounds Of fish. Having
neither compass nor light, in the thick
fog and darkness they lost their way. The
wind began to blow hard from the south
east and it soon commenced raining hard.
They were out all night. BY frequent bail
ing they managed to keep the skiff free from
water but the next morning the wind chang
ing to the southwest, blew harder and the
boat being heavily loaded with fish, travis,
etc, was nearly swamped by one sea which
boarded her. The men were obliged to
throw over the fish to insure their own safe
ty. They managed to get up to Rice's
Point, east Of Long Island, and rowed into
Long Island Harbor, pretty well tired out as
well as cold and hungry.

explained that he had shot the bird that

Young man found attached to the left leg
