A Prize.


Another lottery wave passed over New
Orleans last Tuesday, and in its course
struck Mr.. Adolph l.. Belran, son of our
well known fellow citizen, R. Beltran,
ESQ.,, commission merchant on Decatur
street.
The how was severe one, and it struck
Adolph so Unexpectedly that he has not
entirely recovered his senses, though in
possession OF more cepts than he ever had
in the course of his check-ered career.
On Wednesday, with a dollarous eX-
preston in his eye, he visited the office OF
the Louisiana State Lottery Company,
and inquired tor the root doctor. This
singular inquiry excited the curiosity OF
the Office, and he was invited TO a seat in
the leit-hand ward.
His pulse being felt, an extraordinary
contraction of the muscles of the digits
of his right hand was discerned. On re-
ducing the same, a lottery ticket was re-
vealed, bearing the mum Der %, 552. A quick
diagnosis of his case was made. The lot
terry wave had given him, in the drawing
on Nov. 8, for 81 Investment, the sum OF
$4,000.
The ''r0ot of all evil" in the form of very
hard cash was at once administered, and
Mr.. Beltran's singular inquiry was eX-
planned.

plans for DR.. Belts lecture, on
Dec. 9. The secretary, Mr. T..
Fl. ODonovan, read the colrespon-
dence with the reverend gentleman,
and the action taken in the matter was,
on motion, unanimously confirmed. Sub
committees on reception, hall, printing,
music, etc, were appointed, and such
other business was transacted as could be
given attention at this early stage
OF the proceedings. A large ma
jority OF the committee was in
attendance, the meeting being a very
enthusiastic one. Those who had
the pleasure Of hearing the distinguished
gentleman year or 80 ago will be sure
to embrace the opportunity OF hearing
him again, aside from the wish to assist
the laudable object, the Anti-Eviction
fund. The eloquence of the lecturer, his
sincerity of speech and action, his pure
and lofty patriotism, are all attributes
which commend him to the earnest con-
sideration of people who love liberty,
and there is sure to be large audience.

Brunawick Approves the Move.

Brunswick is happy over the purchase
of the East Georgia and Florida railroad
by the Savannah, Florida and Western.
The Herald says: "The East Georgia and
Florida railroad was never designed to
benefit Brunswick. 1t was q competing
line with the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway into Flor
ida, and the Richmond and Dan
Vile expected to gubble it up at the
proper time. But that management was
long ago made to understand that the
longest pole would bring the persimmon.
The East Tennessee railroad wanted it
too, and doubtless it was examining
the land to see what it could be
secured for. But the Plant did not
intend any foolishness about it. he
wanted it and he bought it, and will finish
all that he wants of IL and the balance he
will let rest. So he buys it all up and
kills off all opposition and all possibility
OF any railroad getting into Florida except
through Brunswick. SO If any railroad
wants to get into Florida it will have to
come via Brunswick. This Is very far
from being any disadvantage to our city.
On the contrary, 1t is another link in the
chain that may ultimately prove Of
greatest advantage IN enhancing our
prosperity as a city,

Into Circulation South.
The new 81 and So silver certificates
are beginning to appear In circulation
here. The first ones came out some six
weeks ago and were eagerly taken up by
the banks in the North. The principal
feature of the certificate is the vignette
portrait. This is u copy OF the Stuart
portrait OF Martha Washington. This
portrait has never been used upon any of
the money or securities of the govern
ment. 1t Is of large size and occupies a
place at the left end Of the certificate.
Above the portrait in curved panel
are the words "Silver certihcate,v and

for the original issue.

The tace of the 81 certificates has at the

Isit n Freight war?

President II. B. Plant, of the Southern
Express Company, has issued an order.
which is now in effect, that the Southern
Express Company will carry oranges
from Palatka, Fla, 10 New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore for 35c.
per box, and is prepared to receive the
fruit in any quantity, from one box to car
load lots, which will be forwarded
promptly.
This, says the Palatka News, looks az
though a rate war is to be inaugurated,
and that Florida fruit and vegetable
growers are to be the benefciaries this
time. This low rate is something IN keep
ing with those enjoyed by the Northern
and Western producers, and means a
great deal to our people in the way of
dollars and cents. We have no doubt but
this reduction in rate Will induce MANY
orange growers TO ship their fruits by ex-
press who have heretofore shipped by the
ordinary freight lines"
