NEVADA AND THE LO TIT ,tY.
A Black Picture Painted by the san
Francisco " News Letter..

The San Francisco News Letter
contains the following slanderous attacl,
upon Nevada: The Louisiana Lottery
Company is said to have designs upon
Nevada. There is no reason why it
should not have. Nevada comes rather
high in Senatorial elections, but there is
no State in the Union that could be OBJ.
tanned more reasonably for lottery.
There are only about five papers that
would need to be retained. A lease of tho
Holstein ranch at $50 month would
probably fetch Sam Davis, and two
column adj. apiece would secure the CRATE
full allegiance of the rest. The recent
popular vote showed majority of 700 or
500 against lotteries. A change of 500
votes would make good, safe majority
the other way. Five hundred votes at
500 apiece would cost $4,000. A ma
jority of the Legislature of course, would
take more. Twelve Senators, at $25, 900
apiece, would be $3.50, 900, and twenty
four Representatives, at 5000, would be
another $4,000 Half a million in all
would cover everything, with an ample
margin to spare. What is a half mill
ion to the Louisiana Lottery Company.
In fact, even that would not have to be
paid entirely in cash; distribution of
lottery tickets would be almost as eifec-
tive. If the whole State were papered
with certificates of stock in the first
monthly drawing, there would be a wave
of public sentiment in favor of the fran
chise that would sweep over the consci-
entious objections of under paid legisla.

KINGSTON, 0Sr., Feb. 20.-At late
hour last night fire broke out in a two

cupied by John Lesion and family. The
fire had been burning some time before
it was discovered, and when the firemen
entered the house they found four child
ren dead in bed. The bodies were not
much burned, death having been caused
by sutlocatiop. Mrs. Lesion, after vain
efforts to rescue her children, jumped
from second story window with babe
in her arms. Her leg was broken by the
fall, but the baby was uninjured. Mr..
Lesion also made heroic efforts to save
the children, and only left the building
after he had been so severely burned
that he will probably die. The family
numbered seven children in all, three OF

less burned.

Two MURDERERS HANGED.
Tho Horrible Crimes OF Jncob Sci,oop n,
Thomas le-StOrles of Their D.e,ls


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 20.-Jacob
schoop and Thomas j. Cole were hanged
together in Moyamensing Prison, this
morning. The drop fell at 1901. schoop
was hanged for tho murder OF Anton
schillng and Coles execution was for
the murder OF Walter McAllister.
The crimes OF both men were premed.
ttated aud carried out ia cold blood.
Schoop's was especially atrocious. On
december %, 1SSS, some boys playing
In Fairmount Park found the dlsmem.
bered remains OF a man tied up in two
bags, hidden AWAY In section OF water
pipe. Tho crime WIS finally traced TO
schoop, who was a baker at No. 1919
Cadwallader street. Schilling was his
assistant. Sehoop acknowledged his
gull, saying that on Christmas morning
iie had knocked Schiliing down with his
list during Il quarrel. Supposing him
dead he struck him with a haichct to
make the job sure. Ie then cut the
body up, and conveying 1t in his wagon
to the park during the night, placed it
where 1t was afterwards found by the
boys. schoop's trial developed the fact
that he had not quarrcled with the vic.
tim, but had deliberately murdered
Schilling in order to obtain 5000 which
the latter had saved up. Schoop's wife
was implicated in the crime, she having
urged him 10 its commission, but she
became insane before she could be tried,
and is now confined in the State Insane
Hospital at Norristown.
COLES CRIME.
Cole and McAltister, who roomed to.
gether, had been an bad terms for some
time previous to the tragedy, the former
charging the latter with having caused
him to lose his employment. This was
shown OH the trial to have been false
Impression, Coles loss OF employment
having been due to his intelnperate and
aissolute habits. McAllis,er, on the con.
trary, was young man OF good charac-
ter and most excellent habits. On the |
morning OF the murder Cole drank con-
siderable liquor, and his mind becoming
inllamed against his roommate, he re.
solved, as he afterward said in q conies-
sion, to kill him.
McAllister, who worked at night, was
asleep, and Cole, arming himself with Il
latchet, crept noiselessly up stairs and |
lealt the sleeping man stunning blow
with the hatchet, following it up with Il
number of others, chopping his victims
head in shocking manner.
Both Cole and Schoop were promptly
convicted OF their crimes, and while
waiting execution both proiessed Chris.
.iauity.
