Big Prize.

Said Mrs Jane Howarth of 4O1 Central
Avenue, Kearny to Journal reporter:
Il have been purchasing tickets in the
Louisiana State Lottery for the past year.
On July s l bought one-twentieth of

support the great go" strike between
February 1883 snd January 1889.

treated than any body else in the

Lottery Advertising.

Senator Martin has introduced d
bill making it penalty for any paper
in the State to publish q lottery ad-
vertisement. Has the Legislature the
power to say what paper shall OIL
shall not publish P-CiariOn- Ledger.
The last sentence of the above re-
minds us of the early tactics resorted
to by the whisky men when they
would gravely ask, "Is prohibition
constitutional ?" If the Clarion
Ledger isn't densely ignorant it
knows that the Legislature has the
power to prohibit State papers from
publishing advertisements of the de-
basing lottery business, just as much
as it has the right to prohibit the pub
lication of obscene literature. 1t all
rests on exactly the same principle.
The law books so hold, and Senator
Martin is too good lawyer to be per-
picked by any such quibbles as the
ClarlOn-Ledger raises.
BY the way, in his speech Senator
Martin fired a broadside into one of
the proprietors of the State organ for
posing as an Elder in the Presbyterian
church and at the same time running
a lottery advertisement in his paper
and helping to debauch the morals of
the people for price, and the rebuke
was merited one.

Mr.. Davis Biography,

Mrs. jefferson Davis, under date
of Feb. LIST, from Beauvoir, writes a
letter in which she says in reference
to the biography of her late hus-
band:
"In order to make the book as COM
plete as possible, should be greatly
obliged if our friends whose personal
recOllectiOns of Mr.. Davis would
throw light on any event of his life OF
tend to illustrate his character, will
record them for and forward them to
me, as l shall endeavor as far as pos
sible to tell the story of Mr.. Davis
career in his own words. l shall re-
gard it as real service to be furnish
ed with copies of any letters from my
husband relating to any public topic
that surviving friends may have pre-
served
There may be some in this COM
munity who might contribute val
liable recollections or letters OF
the late chieftain which no doubt
would be very acceptable to the
authoress in her commendable work.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-02-27
The Legislature.

The Mississippi Legislature ad-
iourned sine die last Monday ut 4
y. M, having been in session AZ days.
OF the bills introduced f60 house bills
and 153 senate bills became laws.
Governor Stone kept square up with
the two houses and signed every bill
before adjournment except two minor
ones. retained because they are al
ready covered by laws on the books.
He did not veto bill this session.
A great many new railroad have been
chartered, and scores of acts passed
incorporating new town and schools
The bills passed of greatest general
value during the session were The
Constitutional Convention bill +; the
Antitrust bill /; to repeal the insur-
ance deposit law; to abolish the office
of State Printer, and to require the
publication of local acts in local pa
pers; liberal appropriation bill IN
,Iuding 100000 to build an addition
to the Jackson Asylum for the cOlOrcd
insane to secure the benefits of Pro
hibition To Prohibition counties and
interpretations authorizing Boards ot
Supervisors to cqalizc land assess
mcnts, the repeal the Swamp Land
/ grant to- the Gulf & and Ship Island
Railroad company, and to reserve
State lands to actual settlers.
Meritorious measures which were
killed all by the Housc-were /: bills
requiring those who are able to pay
the State reasonable sum per montl
for the care of insane relatives in hcl
asylums; to require Scientific Tenn
perancc instruction in the public
schools; to change the method of Sc
lecting grand and petit jurors t'
prohibit the advertising of lotteric:
in the State press; and the Senate
Penitentiary reform bill, looking tC
the gradual abolition of the inhumar
lease system and establishment of :
prison farm. In the closing hours o
the session the House, which had al
lowed itself to be manipulated by 4
strong lobby into killing two Peniten'
tiary reform bills, was forced by the
Senate into an agreement to abolish
the now needless office of Superin
tendent of the Penitentiary and the
addition of the Governor and Attor-
ney General to the Board of Control
which, under the peculiar circum-
stances, was great victory for the
friends of prison reform.
Summing up and considering the in
different material constituting the
bulk of the House, the wonder is that
more meritoriOus bills were not killed
and much fewer good ones passed.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-02-27
The New City Officials.

In conformity to the recOmmenda
tions made, Governor Stone has ap
pointed and commi ssioned the fol
lowing gentlemen to serve as Mayor
and Aldermen of this city for fou1
years from the first Monday il
March:
Mayor-A. Lewcnthal, Jr.
Aldermen-Z. ID. Davis, j. n
Cooke, NJ. Dreyfus, j. w. McGrath
Thos. II. Lewis.
AS stated in our last issue, we dc
not believe Board could have been
selected under any other circum
stances that would have given more
general satisfaction to the com
munity.
Mayor Lewenthal was raised il
BrOokhaven and has her every inter
est deeply at heart. He is learned il
the law, and has proved himself tn,
friend of law and order on more thar
one occasion when it cost somethin:
to stand up for the right. AS Dem
ocrat he has been no less valiant
never taltering in his devotion tt
principle or party, even in the mos
trying hour. Therefore it was, tina
when the recommendation to til,
Governor had to be made, the friend
of municipal reform, recognizing hi
worth and peculiar fitness, endorse,
him for the place by common consent
and they have every confidence tina
the trust has not been misplaced.
Messrs. Davis, Dreyfus and Nc
Grath are three of our most wide
awake and successful merchants
They have shown their capacity t.
manage their own affairs, and ther,
is no reason why they should no
make good "city fathers" Mr.. Cook,
is a successful lumberman and one o
our most active and progressive cit
liens. Mr.. Lewis is the only remain
ing member of the old Board, ant
will do his duty as he sees it.
When the new officials get regular
ly installed we may look for a credit
able administration of city affairs
and believe no good citizen will have
any thing to regret.

A BIG BLAZE.
Destruction of the Priebatsch Lumber
Company's Mills.

Destruction of the Priebatsch Lumber
Company's Mills.
On last Saturday morning about
o'clock fire broke out in the drying
house of the Priebatsch Lumber
Company's mills south of town, and
in almost less time than it takes to
tell it, the company's entire magnifi-
cent plant, the finest of the kind in
the State and worth from thirty to
thirty-five thousand dollars, was
wrapt in sheet of surging flames.
The whistle speedily sounded the
alarm and the citizens of the town,
with eager feet, sped to the scene of
the confagration, but so rapidly had
the fire spread, they were powerless
to render any assistance. Besides the
mill plant, about million feet of
lumber was destroyed, valued at $780,
900. Nine cars of the |. C. Railroad
loaded with lumber were standing
on the switch and were DESTROYED
before they could be removed. The
wind was high, and the fire was ut
terly uncOn trollable and one of the
hottest ever seen, sweeping every
thing before it as with the breath of
destruction.
The total loss to the company will
not fall short of $4,000, which is
covered by less than $25, 900 insur-
ance. This loss will be seriously felt
by the entire community, as well as
the mills company itself. The mills
furnished regular employment to q
large number of hands, paying them
cash for their labor, which was freely
circulated among the business men of
the town; besides number of saw
mills were constantly engaged in
furnishing rough and green lumber,
thereby giving employment to addi-
tional labor.
The destruction of the st. Charles
Mills just about the time the Prize
batsch Lumber Company started, was
heavy blow, but now that this great
enterprise has been sw allowed up by
the devOuring flames, seems like q
double calamity to our city. 1t is
with no small degree of satisfaction,
therefore, that we learn that the
Messrs. Priebatsch, with that indom-
table energy that has always charac-
terized them, will begin at once to re-
build.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-02-27

Ex-State Treasurer Hemingway is
charged with being behind in his
accounts all the way from $l00,O0 to
100000. A legislative committee
appointed last Friday to investigate
made partial investigation and
recommended the appointment of an
other committee to complete the in
yestigatiOn, as the Legislature was
about to adjourn. The new legisla-
tive committee, in conjunction with
the commission created by an act of
the Legislature to investigate all of
the State offices, will begin thorough
investigation of the matter next week.
The people are loath to believe there
Is any thing wrong i'm Col. Heming-
ways accounts, but it must be admit
ted that his long delay in making a
fnal settlement with the new Treasur-
er' after having had months to pre-
pare Tor It, is a strong circumstance
against him.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-02-27

The LEADER is in receipt of com
munications from two young ladies in
the Girls Industrial College contain
ing serious charges against Mr.. Cooke,
the President of the College, and re-
grets that they reached too it late to
give their contents to the public
We see that a legislative committee
and the Board of Trustees are to in
vestigate these charges, and they
should go to the bottom and have nc
whitewashing. And be the result OF
the Investigation what it may, Mr.,
Cookies resignation should he de-
manded. No man who has lost the
confidence and respect of his students
and faculty as he has, should be re-
tanned at the head of a great institu-
ton like this, guilty or innocent.

The new Board of Mayor and AL
dermen can't be too careful in the
selection of Marshal. The LEADER
