A Bogus Lottery scheme.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The arrest OF
Geston Cazenavetti, nephew Of the late
Paul Conrad who was president of the
Honduras Lottery Company formerly
the Louisiana State Lottery, in this city
yesterday brings to light gigantic
scheme for selling bogus lottery tickets.
The counterfeits were so well executed
that several were paid before the fraud
was discovered. The company located
the Chicago manager of the scheme at
the Rockford hotel where Cazenavetti
was stopping under the name of James
". Bruce. There were found on his
person thirty-eight mail orders for lot
terry tickets and twenty telegraph or
ders for the same goods. 1t is alleged
that N. P. Julian, wealthy New Or
leans man, put up the money to carry
out the project. Agencies have already
been established in fifty-two cities in
the United States. The agents are not
informed as to the fraud and believe
they are handling genuine tickets.

Fight With 4 Lion.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. pa ter
rife struggle occurred in q hall here
last night between lion tanner and
one of his animals, which lasted for
nearly ten minutes and resulted in the
man receiving wounds from which the
physicians fear he cannot recover.
During the struggle there was q panic
in the hall. Everybody rushed for the
doors, but, although several women
tainted and many were moro or less
bruised, none was seriously injured.
Professor Veno began his exhibitions
here yesterday afternoon. His cLief
animal, Wallicker, magnificent Afri-
can lion, who has killed three men,
was troublesome and would not per-
form. The professor whipped him and
the animal, which is very vicious,
sprang at the tanner and bit at his leg.
The teeth only Inflicted slight wound,
however, and the professor escaped.
The lion was then well fed. The own
er hoped the animal would be in better
condition for the evening. When the
time came for the night performance
and Veno stepped into his cage the lion
was still in an ugly mood. After vain
ly coaxing him to go through his "act,"
Veno again used the whip. The smart
of pain aroused the beasts anger and
with roar he sprang at his trainer.
Vsno avoided him, but the lion sprang
at him second time and the man was
knocked down. Before he could re-
cover himself, the lion had buried its
teeth in his hip, iuflicting q horrible
wound. The teeth severed vein.
Veno's attendants were striking the
beast with bars, but these had no effect
upon him. Veno, knowing he was get
ting weaker, tried to crawl to the cage
door. The moment he moved the
on was upon him again, getting hold
Of his leather jacket at the shoulder.
Veno clasped the beast about the body,
md then began terrific struggle, both
man and beast rolling over and over,
fist against one side of the cage and
then the other, the animal growing
savagely, and Veno shrieking for help.
The attendants could do nothing, fear
Ing they might strike Veno. AT last
the man, weak from the loss Of blood,
released his hold on the lion and rolled
away. The lion sprang at the mans
head. With a last effort Veno put up
his nand to guard himself. The animal
caught the hand in his mouth and
c.ushed it between his teeth and Veno
tainted. At this moment one of the
keepers struck the animal q heavy
blow on the head. The lion drew back,
and as he staggered around the keep
ers raised the door and dragged the un-
conscious tanner out. A physician in
the audience attended him, and after
the wounds were dressed, he was taken
to his hotel. 1t is feared that he can
not recover.

ANOTHER negro emigration company

ham, Alabama, where labor is needed,
The shipping port is Savannah anu
Liberia the destination. A certain sum
is paid by the proposed emigrant when
his name is put on the list, and the en-
tire amount, before he boards the ship.
The compapy's profits are derived from
those who can't make the last pay
ments or whose spirit fails at the last
moment. If negroes were like white
people. Liberia would by this time be a
prosperous and thickly settled country
would have absorbed all the adjoining
territory, and afforded their race here
not only all the land they crave, but
unrestricted opportunity for attaining
their highest stage of development.
But the laws of nature are unalterable,
and it is as impossible to change the
natural character of o negro's mind as
that of his skin.

FOUL PLAY SUsPEcTED.-Some weeks
ago intelligence of the finding of the
body of Harry McMayo in Virginia,
not far from Fredericksburg, was re-
ceived, and it was given out that he
had committed suicide. There was .
bullet hole in the back of his head, and
although others were satisfied that the
man had taken his own life, his wife
could not believe it. 1t now turns oct
that MeMayo had figured as witness,
at least, in horse stealing case, and it
is the belief in Washington among the
officers that he was probably murdered
by member of gang of horse thieves
who had operated quite extensively in
MARYLAND and Pennsylvania.
