The announcement OF John A. Morris
that the lottery would not accept renewal
of their charter created sensation in the
Bayou State. When the anti-lottery fac
tion, headed by Governor Nichols, had
recovered from the surprise into which
they had been thrown 10y this unexpected
change of front, they denounced the dec.
laration as ruse to entrap them into
support OF McEnery, the lottery candidate
as the next governor of the State. Each
faction is procuring guns and preparing
TO enforce its demands by arms, If they
fail at the polls. This fight against the
giant lottery, whose charter expires in
1895, brings John A. Morris, whose profits
from that concern last year reached Sc co.,
600, into an unwished-for prominence,
Mr.. Morris is n very successful sportsman,
and his running stable is one of the best
in the country, as is evident from his cap
ture the other day of two-year-old stakes
$4,000. His home is at Throgg's Neck.
near New York City, and a few years ago
some curiosity was aroused by Mrs. Morris
erecting a So, 900 cottage 20 accommodate
her husband, whose stentorian snores
arouse the night. Last year MIR. Morris
opened the Mount Morris Race Track, at
Westchester, N. ", feature of which
was his racing stNNe. His father was
likewise a liberal 7, ron OF 'hn turf before

AS the district is Republican, the
Democrats will not be consulted on a
choice. But as the NEWS DEMOCRAT
now has over one thousand able bodied
Republicans on its subscription list it
is mistake to suppose we have no
influence in the choice of a nominee.
Outside of stark county we think well
of Judge King as straight haired
Republican and a man of affairs. In
Stark county there will be other candi-
dates besides Whiting and Morgan, but
Whiting will come as near getting the
majority of the delegation from Stark
AS any other man. Probably Morgan
will get the east end. The fight for the
nomination is going to be very interest
ing, and the NEwS-DEMOCRAT will
locate enterprisiug and reliable CORES

More Confederate Pensions.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 1O.-The house
has passed bill appropriating SG4, POO a
year for pensions. This will give those
now on the rolls $50 apiece. The present

provides that all INDECENT Confederate
soldiers, sailors, servants, and the in
digent widows Of such, shall he entitled
to $50 per month, unless the number at
this rate exceeds the appropriation, in
which event the amount shall be pro-
rated between them. IT is estimated
that the INDECENT clause will put at least
5000 on the rolls in few years, com
pared with | ,2SO now on. If this proves
correct the amount that each will re-
ceiye will be only about $l2 apiece. The

He Issued Counterfeit Cigar Labels.

PoUGnKEEPs1E, N. Y, Feb. lO.--Mr.
A. Il. Rozell, of Freehold, N. j., has
been convicted and fined $50 for issuing
counterfeit cigar labels, and was also
held in $1,000 bail for the grand jury on
a charge of forgery in the third degree.
Rozell has a cigar factory in Reading,
Pa. He offered his cigars for sale to
George Conners, of this city. Conners
wanted cigars with the Union labels on
the boxes. Rozell supplied this want
by purchasing union labels, which were
declared counterfeit, from Deutsch
Bros, of New York. The fraud was
discovered by local Cigar Makers Union
No Z, The charge of forgery is based
upon the fact that the counterfeit labels
bore forgeries of the signatures ON the
genuine labels. The case is of interest
to the cigar business all over the coun-

THE fact that the Evening Reposi-
tory has been swung into line in favor
of ripper legislation for Canton IS con-
strued by many to mean that Governor
Mckinley has been heard from and
that the job has been fixed. We do not
assume that this is 80, only such is the
report. AS it was only a few brief
moons ago that the Evening Rep. was
80 opposed to ripper legislation, it is
evident that some powerful influence
has been brought TO bear to cause such
a radical change in its sO-called prin-
cipies.

MARTINS FERRY, o., Feb 10.-A per-

born on the farm of John Spencer, a
milkman on Glenn's Run, two miles
west OF Martins Ferry. Both heads are
perfect and there are two distinct necks,
standing out from the shoulders at an
angle Of forty-five degrees. One strange
thing about the monstrosity is that it is
as large as 6-weeks' old calf, weighing
about seventy-fve pounds. The calf is
spotted and the mother is a common,
everyday spotted animal.
