Mr.. j. H. Kuttner, of Georgetown,
Plays in that Role with Great sue
cess-He Draws 100000 IN the Lou
isiana state Lottery, and has Re
ceived Every Dotlar of the Money.
In order to verify the rumOr that Dir. j.
Il. Kuttner, Of Georgetown, Ky, had
drawn $50, 600 in the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, held Dec. Is, a Press
representative went to Georgetown on
Monday to see Mr.. Kuttner and get the
facts in the case from his own lips. Mr..
Kuttner was found in his store, and ex-
tended the Press reporter a smiling well
come. He is a PoIander, having migrated
to this country about 80 years ago. When
the war of the rebellion came up he Joined
the Confederate army and was seriously
wounded at the battle of Fordouche, La.
After the war he engaged in the dry
goods business at Shelbyville, KY,
and for while did
fiourishing business. He failed, how
ever, about two years ago and went to
GEORGETOWN, where he established him
self in the dry goods business on small
scale. About year ago it occurred to
Mr.. Kuttner that he would try his luck
in the Louisiana State Lottery. For II
firm in the belief that his time would
finally come. With his faith in the fair
ness OF the management of the Louisiana
State Lottery uudiminished, he invested
IN a One-ffth ticket for the drawing which
came off on Dec. &c, 1884. He took in
with him two partners, Mr.. Dock Laws
and Mr.. G. G. Barbee, both OF George
town. Mr.. Laws was barkeeper and
Mr.. Barbee 2 saddler. On the afternoon
OF Dec. II, Mr.. Kuttner received a tele-
gram from New Orleans announcing
that his ticket had drawn one-ffth of the
capital prize of $4,000. The news was
too good to believe without a lit
tie investigation. Accordingly, Mr..
Kuttner deposited his ticket in the Sec
ond National Bank of Georgetown, and
went at once to Cincinnati to find out the
trUthfulness of the report. At Cincinnati
the report was fully confirmed, and Mr..
Kuttner at once ordered the Second Ma
ti0nal Bank OF GEORGETOWN to collect the
5000 for him through the Canal Bank of
New Orleans. The money was promptly
paid by the Canal Bank in full, not a cent
being deducted for commissions. The
money was brought to Georgetown by the
Adams Express Company, and deposited
in the Second National Bank to the credit
of Messrs. KuttDer, Laws and Barbee,
each owning a third interest in it. Mr..
Kuttner will invest his money in to-
bacco mandatory at Georgetown, Mr..
Laws intends buying a Bluegrass farm
with his, while Mr.. Barbee has already
invested in a hotel at Georgetown, and
will engage actively in the hotel business.
Mr.. Kuttner says that there has been a
remarkably heavy demand for tickets in

A well-dressed man entered a Market
street pawn shop recently and quietly put
ting his hand to his mouth took out full
set of upper teeth, bound together with a
plate of pure gold. After he had rubbed
them on his handkerchief he handed them
shyly to the clerk, and said in stage
whisper:
Give dollars"
The clerk handed the man the money
and a ticket and he slipped quietly out OF
the door.
"That mans been here three times to-
day." said the clerk. "The first time be

time he left his diamond stud and ring.
I've advanced him money on his false

"DO you usually loan money on false

"NO, not often. Some pawnbrokers do.

He Thought That Shs was Worth Her

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing ct American Flag, in
the Santa Catalina Mountains, Is perhaps
the only woman who, literally speaking,
ever cost her husband her weight in gold.
1t is said that In the early gold-digging
DAYS of California, when about the
age Of n, 2 paternal uncle, bat few
years ner senior, returned with his COM
paniOns gold laden from the Ell Dorado of
the West, AMI became desperately enam-
ored Of her. He sought her hand in mar
riage and was accepted, but the Church
refused, because of the near relationship
existing between them, to sClomnlZe the
marriage. Persuasion being in vain, he
tried the power OF gold to win the Church
his way, and succeeded only by the pay
ment Of her weight in gold. She at that
time weighed III pounds, and against her
in the scales the glittering dust was
shoveled. Her afianced husband still
had sufficient of this worlds goods to pro-
vide a comfortable home, and they were

Skies AgIow at Midnight.

Perhaps as strange an aerial phenome-
non as has ever been experienced or OBJ
served in the Northwest was that in the
Missouri slope Tuesday night. At about
midnight the entire heavens were brill
liantly illuminated with a bright, warm
light. The experience Of the pedestrian
was similar to that of a sudden lighting
of a lamp in a darkened room. 1t re-
minded one of standing beneath an cleo
trio light tower in the evening Just as the
lights first throw out their brilliant rays.
One solitary sword-like ray reached out
from Aurora's northern lighthouse, and,
as if touching some magnet set firmly in
the zenith or connecting with another
electric current in the very centre Of the
starry dome, a perfect ocean of pickering
light was produced, with a small circle of
dazzling brilliancy in the centre. The
phenomenon lasted about twenty min
utes. during which time newspaper
could be read with perfect ease out of
doors or at window in an unlighted
room.

ers Of New York, relative to the complaints O.
merchants regarding the diversion Of Their
freight under pool rulings, Chauncey M. Depev
spoke in defense of the New York Central rail
road, and said that eff the idiots at Washing ton

the roads could be adjusted He said that out
of pool tonnage of IL 600 900 tons in 1884 only
%, 900 tons had been diverted, and the present
complaint covers but 1000 tons. The decadence
Of the dry goods trade was largely due to the
immediate transportation act. and if the railroad
pool were abolished competition would be es
tablished between the trunk lines that would
make merchants gamblers in spite of themselves.

Not Pleased with the Report


In commenting upon the annual report of the
New York Railway Commission, the New York
Commercial Advertiser says the report " is very
long, and OF the variety known as exhaustive "
Every possible phase of the railway question is
considered and if the report shall chance to be
among the literary treasures taken out by the
next arctic expedition, it is possible that when
all other literature has been disposed of this
document may be read in it's entirety by some
one" We notice that the Commissioners ad-
vance as an original suggestion the thought
which has occurred to most people who have
given any attention to the railroad question that
the contention as to rates between the great
trunk lines is simply struggle for existence,
caused by the fact that there are more railroads
than are needed to do the business offered. Out
OF this struggle only the fttest to live will
emerge. This will be financial death to others,
with attendant distress and loss property Still
the report shows that, despite the disadvantages
under which the railroad business was conducted
last year, there was great increase in the vol
ume of the traffic

have fastened their fangs on Philadelphia. But
they are alike only in degree. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company while despoiling the city, is
treating its stockholders to some share of the
spolls; the Reading railroad Company, while
discriminating against Philadelphia, is being
sacrificed to its own greed. and is making mouths
at its more successful rival. The lordiy disre-
gard with which the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is treating the rights of the public bears
more resemblance to the subterfuges and deceits
of the Reading Railroad Company than the oper-
atoms of gentemanly highway robber of the
Dick Turpin school to do the work of a sneak
thief"
Freight Business Over Indianapolis Lines.
An examination of the train records for the
week ending Jan. IL shows that Notwithstanding
the lighter car movement the last two days of
the week. owing to the severe weather, a slight
improvement over the movement of the week
ending Jan. 10 is shown, there being an increase
only of seventeen cars in loaded and 1s5 in
empties. 1t will be noticed that there still a
large number of empty cars moving westward
as out of total movement of 20, 1T there were
of this number 6,332 empty, fully 80 per cent
A 20 per cent movement of empty cars is con-
sidered fair average. This indicates that
there is an increased demand for cars at
Western shipping points, and general freight
agents look Tor an increased east Dound move
ment from this on, in fact. last week, under the
unfavorable circumstances, twenty-five moro
loaded cars were forwarded from Indianapolis
than in the week preceding. We notice, as we'll,
that there is an increased movement of loaded
cars westward, Probably this is only a short
squirt of business, as it is too early in the year
for general increase in tonnage west bound to
set in. North and south roads are doing fairly
we'll South bound ice is forming an important
feature of traffic Heavy shipments are being
