-Four Lucky Men.

Four of the employees at A. Goebel & Co. "a
brewery have had a stroke of luck; owning be-
tive ell them one tenth of a ticket which is said
to have drawn the s50,oW prize in tho Louisi-
ana state lottery, Albert Mass, 305 Gratiot ave-
nue., Lorenz Traub, 1879 Russell street, VIM.
Brommer, % Mapcl street, and Benjamin
Noes are the lucky men. The official
having heard the news through a dispatch
from q friend. They expect to have it con-
frmed tomorrow. None of them have made
a habit of buying tickets, but they have all in
vested two or three times before. This time
they Clipped in one dollar apiece and bought
four one-tenth tickets, three of which have
proved blanks. They propose to put their
money into a house and lot.
Charles L. STANCE, stationer, Randolph street
near Fort, who drew o sharein the capital $75,-
0UO priZein the same lottery in 1882, said recent
" that both he and his partners in the venture,
Philip w. Witzleben, clerk with r. G. Dun &
Co., then invested for the first time. The
lucky ticket was number S5,0o3, of which they
owned one fifth. They could not get
their winnings through the banks, as
tho latter refused to handle lottery mo-
ney, but the express company took their ticket
down and brought the money back, $4,000 in
hard cash, for $40. He was then clerk at Rich
mond, Backus & Co g, and went into his pres
ent business, while Wltzleben invested in real
estate. He still buys tickets occasionally, and
won $40 last year. They were the first De-
t%roiters who ever won a prize in that lottery

An Elaborate Clock.
from the New Haven Journal and courie,

from the New Haven Journal and Courier.
At the Office of the New Haven Clock
company in this city is a splendid clock
just finished, which is to go to the New
Orleans exposition. It was construct
ed specially with reference to exhibiting
at the exposition, and is probably the
finest clock ave. made in New England.
1t cost $1,000. 1t stands nine and a
half feet high. The case is built of
the finest mahogany with elegant deco
rative carvings showing skillful handi-
work, while the dial is of silver and
gold finish. A door of beveled plate
glass with a light mahogany frame opens
to the dial, and a large similar decorat-
i've door opens below the weights.
Beautifully finished Corinthian pillars
flank the main body of the case, sur
mounted by elegantly carved archi-
traves. The clock rests upon gilded
ornamental pedals. The long pendu-
lem beats seconds and the clock chimes
the quarter hours either on a set Of
eight bells or on another known as the
Westminster chimes, both sets being
very musical and the effect most pleas
ing. For the first quarter four bells
are struck. for the second eight, for the
third twelve, the fourth sixteen, and
the hour is announced upon a deep
sounding cathedral gong, musical yet
solemn, as If the flight of time were a
grave matter and no unconsidered trife.
The clock runs eight days and has at
tachments which shift the striking
works to suit the varieties of bells.

Case of

A very peculiar case of infatuation
came to light recently says o Newport,
R. l., dispatch to The Boston Herald.
A few years ago a lad came to Newport
and fell in love with ayoung lady, whom
he married. The young wife died soon
afterward, and the husband, who is now
scarcely out of his teens, is engaged to
an estimable young lady. Since the
death of his wife, his wife's aunt has
been desperately in love with him, and
has logged him everywhere, in fact
making life q burden to him. This af-
ternoon he called upon the sister of his
fiancee, and as he was leaving, he was
accosted by the aunt, who had been
watching him. She upraided him, and
finally threw a brick which she had
concealed under her shawl, at him.
Fortunately the brick went wide of the
mark. A policeman saw the incident,
and induced the furiated woman to cease
her annoyances. She went home, and
did not seem to mind the commotion
she had occasioned upon public street.
The woman belongs to a good family.
