The Lucky Number.

Mention was recently made NJ Thos.
Williams great luck In holding ticket
which drew the $25, eco prize at the May
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery.
A representative of this paper, this morn
ING found Mr.. Williams at his work in the
Jefferson Iron Works, where he has been
employed for years as q mailer. lie was at
fret rather adverse to saying anything
about his good fortune, bat finally SAID ::
"I had ALWAYS undeTett od that the Louisl-
ana State Lottery was straight about
awarding prizes drawn, and two or three
months ago sent for one
tenth ticket. WAS unsuccessful
in capturing anything. but kept on
until before the May drawing, when sent
two dollars and received a One-tenth ticket
numbered 81, s26 The drawing took place
on Nav 14th. and on the 18th learned
that ticket 81, S26 bad drawn the S25, 600
1t was pretty good news, and the next
morning took the ticket mp TO Agent
Sterling and placed it in the hands OF the
Adams Express Company for collection.
Nav oath, OF only ten days after the draw
ing | received draft for 81, 500. and have
the money, which comes in very handy,
now that the nailers' craft is 80 very un-
certain about work"
MIR. Williams has been in receipt OF
many congratulations upon his good luck,
and many who had not tried their chances
were surprised that the ticked was cashed
50 promptly without any deduction. That,
however, is the way which the Louisiana
State Lottery Company invariably pursues
upon presentation of successful tickets

Canton's Great "Beef."

The gall of the Canton people is some
thing beyond all comprehension. Because
Dayton went there and licked them fairly
and squarely three games in succession,
the people of that town, through Manager
Harrington, have the awful nerve to come
ont and accuse President McDermith with
having instructed Umpire Jones TO do up
the Canton team in favor of Dayton, be-
cause the OantOns we're winning too many
games and the race would lose interest,
causing the attendance in all the cities to
drop off.
Undoubtedly this is the worst case OF
beefing we have ever heard. The Osntons
must have thought that they could go Oh
winning games forever without the least
trouble. And then why would such an
order be Issued in favor of Dayton, when
il is next to Canton in the race? Why not
give some of the low down clubs chance
to fatten up if such methods were to be
pursued?
The whole fact of the matter is that
Manager Harrington ard the whole Can
ton layout have tls Big head,
and think that nothing should head
them off even if they play poor
ball. Canton used to be a pretty
decent sort of base ball community, but
since Harrington's advent there they have
followed his teaching, and they now turn
ont the greatest crowd Of hoodlums and
kickers Of any town in the League. All
the papers should cry down such measIy
"beef" as this late and great one. Come
of. and play ball

The Laughlin Nail OOmpsny's Reported
New Venture.
There is report current that the Laugh
lin Nail Company will in the near future
convert part of their large plant at Mar
tins Ferry into q sheet iron mill. To bear
up these rumors, the officers of the com
paDy and others interested have been seen
lately measuring and sighting about the
Eastern factory and on the vacant ground
adjoining. President Glessner was sten
Yesterday in reference to the matter, and
he ST. ted that no action bad r. yet been
taken, and that the matter OF making a
part of their plant available for some other
purpose than cut nail making had never
been mentioned in any of the meetings OF
the Board of Directors. 1t is positively
asserted, however, that some of the stock
holders have expressed a desire to cover
some of their valuable real estate with
some more useful kind of manufacturing
plant than cut nail mill.

BOSTON, June 23.-The Herald will print
tomorrow four column letter from Gen.
Butler, in which he produces facts and of
fetal records for the purpose of proving his
charges of cowardice against Admiral Por-
ter during the siege Of New Orleans, which
charges were made in public speech in
this city last May, and have been the sub
ject of long controversy between the two
principles. Gen. Butler says:
The sole question between myself and
Porter is, did he or his flagship and the
rest of the mortar fleet sail away from the
Deighborhood Of the forts where they were
stationed by Farragut, down 10 the head
of the passes, or out 10 sea, and remain
there for a considerable time, till Porter
believed it safe to return 10 the forts? Ad-
miral Porter has been quoted as saying
that one officer did run away, but that he
would not give his name. There was no
officer ran away save Porter, or those un-
der his orders. charged "high officer, "
and there was no such one there who
could run away other than Porter himself,
so be well knew whom | meant.

and there wag soon quite a large crowd at

SPRINGFIELD, o, June 23-The gam e
to-day between the Springfield and the
Wheeling teams was one of the most stub
bOrnly contested ever played in this city,
the score standing up to the fifth inning
three to nothing, in favor of Springfield.
Wheeling made her first run in the fifth
and tied the score in the eighth Spring
field scored one in the ninth on Dunn's
failure to secure O'Rourke's throw
to third, but By Kennedy's splen-
did pitching and good fielding
the side was retired with no more runs.
In the ninth Hobrecht was given a base
on balls and stole second. Kennedy then
hit hot one to the infeld and got first on
Hobrecht's out at home. Then O'ROurke
smashed out long two-base hit into the
crowd. Dunn followed with another two
begger, and thus ended the finest game Of
the season. Attendance about ], 900. The

Ohio Wheat Growers Alarmed by the Ap-
pearancs OF a Destructive Insect.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill June 23.-The State
Board of Agriculture has 3 communication
from the State EntomolOeist, Professor
s. A. Forbes, concerning a minute bluish
green, oval, rather sluggish insect found
within few days in such abundance on
the heads and leaves of wheat and oats,
from the Ohio River TO Madison and
Champagne counties, as to create great
alarm in the Illinois wheat belt The eu-
tomologist says it's amazing abundance
seems due to the drOughts of recent years
and the early spring this year, its enor-
nous rate of multiplication enabling it to
take a rapid advantage of circumstances
favorable 10 its increase. The amount Of
injury, he says, depends largely upon the
weather, and cannot be predicted. This
plant louise attscks go suddenly and in
such overwhelming numbers when 1t gets
fair tart that nothing can be done but
trust to the weather and it, natural enc
mics. The insect is susceptible to immense
destruction by parasites, and seasonable
rains check it's mischief.
