drawn, and at Covington, where the
"white book" goes on record. 1t is
supposed that these drawings are
made by blindfolded boys, and cham
pions of the lottery declare that they
are fairly made This is not true,
however, as despite the tremendous per-
centage against the PLAYER, it is claim
ed that the drawings are manipulated
besides.
WHO THE hackers ARE.
In every town where policy is an
organized institution there are three
men known as the hackers, who are
responsible for the game and who man
age it in their bailiwick. These men
are always so chosen that they have
some other ostensible business besides
their lottery venture. Usually they
are solid men, generally taken to be
respectable and valuable citizens
In Chicago the hackers of the policy
game are:
Mandred A. Morton, a real-estate
dealer at Room %, 40 Dearborn
street; residence, 29GS Indiana avenue
John H. Erby, of Hoyt & Erby, al
1877 Wabash avenue. He boards at the
| fremont.
Douglas H. Bergh, whose business
address and residence are not recorded
in the city directory.
Up to two years ago Jesse H. Smith
in his day a well-known characte
about town, was one of the hackers
He died of cancer, and Morton sue
ceeded him. These packers" ar,
supreme in all the details of the busi
ness in Chicago. They handle th'
funds, appoint discipline and dis
charge the sub-agents, and, in word
perform all the functions of the
moneyed mal in faro bank.

 A Butte, Montana, dispatch of the 18th states that orders had been re- ceiysd that the Syndicate would not receive copper for inc next sixty days under existing contract. The order applies to all mines in the pool inclu- ding those of Arizona. The Engineer ing and Mining Journal says that shares of the Societe dos Meteaux, which at the end of last year rese to 1900 francs, fell to 80f, and financial catastrophe was narrowl y averted by the Bank of France coming to tue Syn dicate's relief. The Journal says that afterwards it transpirsd that the sale of the bulk of the copper held by the Syndicate had been placed in the hauds of Aatheson < G., of London, from which 1t is evidest that tho pow. CT of ths Syndicate is completely broken, and the control ei the market aaS passed into entirely different hanasI As stocks are new in strong haads ? complete collapse in prices is not probable, but it must take some weeks to readIust matters satisfactory to all parties interested J.

DROWNING OF A (. WEBSTER
(Te,npo News.l

"Wednesday forenoon our town wal thrown into state of excitement by the report that A. c, Webster had been drowned the night previous while at tempting to ford the river at Gray $ crossing. Upon investigation the re porter gained the following facts ! Mir. Webster had gene to Phmaix Tuesday afternoon on business trip, expecting to return that evening and bring with him his horse and cart which he had left in Phoenix few days previous, beng unable ts fora the river, Mir, Webster dld not reach home that night and the next morning Mrs. Webster becoming alarmed, tele- graphe6 to Phoenix, inquiring if he was still in that city, and received word that her husband had started for home at about S:30 o'clock tho night before, intending to cross the river at Gray's. Searching parties were inn msdiately organized at Phoenix and Tempe. About noon Wednesday the horse, harneSssd to the cart was found standing in the water near the bank, about half mile below the first ford of Gray's crossing, where he had evil sently been all night, the lines having caught on stump in the water, thus holding him. The track of the cart showed that Mr. Webster, after ford- ing the north branch, followed the road across the island to the main stream, which he entered heading the horse up the river. About twenty yards below the point of entrance the horse and cart again came out of the rlver, and after going q short distance one of the wheels struck a stump and the seat cushion and Mir Wobstsr's hat, which still renamed in the cart, were thrown out and were there found by the sGarchers. What occurred Tn the water can only be surmised, but the prevailing opinion is that ths horse encountered quicksand and Mir Webster had got out of the cart to as sist the animal, and while so doing met his terrible fate. A Mexican Iiy ing oH the south side ot the ford, gives the information that between and 2 o'clock he heard some one eryiRg cut as though attempting to urge horse across the river, and there is no doubt but that Mir. Webster was the party heard. The sad accident has thrown gloom over the entire community as the deceased was hsnored and respect ed by all, and one of our most enter prising citizens.
