A sWINDLE COLLAPSED.
Probable End of tho Royal New Brmna
wick Lottery.

CALAIS, Dsc. 16.-The great swindle known
as the Royal New Brunswick lottery has fin-
ally collapsed, and will probably never exist
again in this section. Nate 8. Reed of Phila-
delphia, leading man in the lottery company
was arrested last Wednesday in st. Stephen
for wrongful use Of the mails and held in two
thousand dollar bonds to appear for trial to-
day. He then went to his farm 25 miles above
this city, whore he has an elegant residence,
furnished in sumptious style. Since his arrest
the remaining members OF the company have
made themselves scarce and srs So upposed to
bs with Read where all are safe from arrest.
A large crowd were in attendance today at
the trial, but Read did not appear. This is the
first time the Domioion goverumer have tax
en- hold Of the case al;hough numerous COM
plants have been entered against them during
tho past fsw years. The company are eaid to
have paid the government thirty thousand dol
lars year for postage, and the postmaster at
S. Stephen has derived tho l4rgest income
from his office OF any postmaster in Cansds.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 16-Mr. Blaine
has addressed the following letter to his at.or-
sganst the publishers o. the Indianapolis Sem
tineI:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10, 1884.
To Messrs. Harrison, Miller and E2ain, Counsel
Tors at Ldto
Gentlemen-Wfen ], requested you in August
last to bring suit against the publishers of the In
dianapos sentinel for libel did so in the belief
that the wrong done me by that paper being entire
lv personal and of domestic character could be
fairly tried and without undue influence from pot-
ical considerations. L confess | was profoan ily
amazed TO find the mstter at once taken up and the
libel reproduced with all possible exaggeratisn in
every Democratic paper in indiana. Except from
three members of the Democratic party of that
State never heard that word of dissent disap-
proval was spoken, while the great mass of Demo
cratic speakers repeated the libel from every stump
in Indiana with intemporatve rancor with gibe and
Vlbald jest 1t was thus made, SO far any matter
Of the kind could be made, an issue in exciting
political campaign and the Democrats of the State
were thoroughly poisoned in their minds in regard
to the question to be decided at law.
Under such conditions 1t 10 simply impossible
that can have fair trial or that expect any
other result than that which uniformly attends
political libel suit growing out of an exciting
paign In tnis country. If were unfair enough to
could not have it. A properly constituted jury in
Indiana would be composed of members of both
political parties of about equal proportions and
when visited Indiana in October was repeatedly
advised that six Democrats could not be found in
the State who, in political suit would give a ver-
dict against their leading party organ. This did
necessarily convey an imputation upon their per-
soDal integrity as citizens but simply that the
bindings OF party prejudice would utterly prevent
an impartial consideration of the evidence
submitted. l am perfectly able TO fight the
Sentinel newspaper in an Indiana court but
would stand chance whatever against
the consolidated venom of the Democratic party OF
the State With these surroundings and with this
prospect it is idle for to go through the trouble
aud annoyance Of a trial. The questions propound-
ed by the bill of discovery already have been sub
stantialy and fully answered BY me, and am
willing to leave my written statement and the
swers under oath to the judgment of the public.
do not choose to have the indirectly concluded

prosecution of the would be utterly frutless.

10000 Pounds of Powder Explode i'm a

SECANCUs, N j., Dec. 16-3 A. M. About
11.30 last night the slrmberiBg inhabitants of
this small New Jersey town we're awakened by
loud explosion. Everybody arose and rushed
from their houses, and were soon gathered IN
the maiu strest gossiping about the sudden
conclusion. Then over the tops of small
patch of wooded land, on tho outskirts of
the village, flames were seen, and all ex
claimed, "The powder factoryn' A start was
made for the scsne of the disaster, and when
the crowd reached what is known as Ulhmer's
farm, they discovered that the storehoase of
the American Wood Powder Company was In
flames. This storehouse had just been stocked
with cans Of powder, each con tanning from to
10 pounds, and sggregsting about 10000
pounds
The structure was low wooden building,
detached from the main factory, and distant
from it several hundred feet. The factory it
self is also isolated from any babitation, and is
solidly constructed of brick and stone. It had
not been injured. The storehouse was in
ruins, and what little of it that remained
blazed fiercely. About one year ago like
explosion occurred, and the father-in-law of
the proprietor, whose name is not now remem-
bered, Was killed. 1t is a strange thing that
SO violent conclusion should have done so
little damage. The explosion is unaccounta-
BILE. No fire was permitted i'll or near the
building, aud the watehman was supposed TO
be on hand TO zee that orders TO this effect
were carried out.

Hon. Robert @. Winthrop Seriously III.
BOSTON, Dec. 16.-For several days the
friends of Hon. Robert @. Winthrop have
known of his serious illness, but no publicity
was given to the fact, as it was hoped that
few days would find him convalesaeut. 1t is
announced that he is suffering with a severe
severe attack of pneumonia, and though he
passed comfortable night his condition today
is such that considerable alarm is felt at his
present condition. Mr.. Winthrop took Sc
we're cold while visiting his country residence
at Brookline last week. His advanced age
having completed his 10th year in May last
renders his recovery very uncertain.
At midnight the condition OF Mr.. Winthrop
had not changed for the worse, aud he re-
mained about the same as during the day.
