Preeeedings o7 the Legislative Committee at Earatoza. Searching Exam‘nation of Jewett, Re- eciver of the Erie Road. Evy Western Associated Press. SARATOGA, August 23.—H. J. Jewett con- tinued his statement ‘before the Legislative Committee. He had not the slightest idea of how much of the first consolidated mortgage was actually received by the Erie Rail- roal Company; can’t tell how much of the proceeds were used in construciing the Erie; the condition of the road between 1874 and 1875 was altered very littlh—— Counsel (interrupting)—And yet you ad- vanced on the C., C.,C. and I. money for ac- count of McHenry? Jewett—Yes. That was counted for. At that had no idea McHeary had any evil designs upon the Erie. Trayers & Co. had stock, and notice came that the stock would be sold unless the money borrowed upon it was repaid. The money was ad- vanced in order to help McHenryfand protect ourselves. I was not then, nor am I now, aware of the existence of a statute precluding our hold- ing stock in another corporation; don’t con- sider this transaction as coming within such provision. The first advarce was made before my connection with the road. Mr. Barlow acted as agent of McHenry at the time, and was also director of the Erie, and one of its ‘counsel. This is now the subject matter of the litization be- tween Bishofsheim Goldschmidt and London Banking Association and this raiiroad, and I submit to this committee whether this matter should be gone into here. The chairman stated that the purpose of the committee was only to ascertain whether the proceeds of these twenty-five million bonds had been received by the company and, if not, such state of affairs should be guarded against in the future by legislation. Mr. Jewett stated that he also thought there should be such a law. The company has never realized the full value of those bonds. The company is now seeking to recover these proceeds, and parties are setiling up divers defenses. Is “he com- mittee to get statements here against the Erie at the trial of easily ac- time I cases? the spirit of the multitude is aroused to pre- FORCED TO RETIRE. The St. Louis Lottery Company Dies an Easy Death. -— >_> It Will Close its Offices To-Night, and Quit a Nefarious Business. A Few Facts Which Induced the Retirement— Statements of Interested Parties. The St. Louis Lottery Company, eftera pre- carious ex‘stence ot something like four mouths, wili wind up their affairs to-day and abandon the policy business forever. Just what induced the projector of the Academy of Music and Artschemeto arrive atso hasty a decision in the matter has not been given to the world, and the announcement of Col. George Babecck and J° ff. Chandler, attorneys for the lottery company, inthe Court of Crim- inal Correction this mornirg,that the company would immediately suspend operations, was a general surprike. There were seventeen of the lottery caces on the docket under a moiion for a new trial and in arre:t of judgment and the Couré was expected to pass upon those whentbe announcement was made by the counsel of the eo:spuny’s inten- ticn to quit the nefarious business. Some weeks ago warrants were issued against seventeen of the proprietors of the branch of fices underacharge of se!ting lottery tickets and ailer ove sbort continuance the cases came to trial and the city gseined a _ victory, a fine ot $250 beinw assessed in each case. Mo- tions for rewtiisls and motions in arrest of jvrdgmwent were iu:npediately filed, and to- day was the time sei. fvra hearing of the mo- trors. - Coicnel Babcock,on behalf of the ants, stated by way of explanation tothe Court thut the St. Louis Lottery Company had ar- rived at the conelnsion that as a law-abiding corporation they would quit the iurcher prose- cution of £0 NEFA A BUSINESS. The sale of lottery tickets was an illegal transaction and every court wouid coincide in that opinion. Intaking this step they would throw themselves atthe merey ofthe Court and ask for a conmmutation of the fines already ussessed in the severteen cases on the decket. Tne Lottery Company had put the city to but little cxpense in the prosecution otf the cases to date, as they had not endeavor- ed to avoid a speedy trial, and now only wish- ed to shut up shop and retire from the field tcrever, witi’ the assurance irom the autiori- aies that all further attempts at conviction should ceuse for offenses committed in the past. The. delendants at present ar- raigned were poor wen and mien of fum- liics, and couid rot pay an exorbitant and so asked for a remittai in part ol the ones already assesscd. The sudden and unlooked for action on the part of the Jottery company took Prosecuting Attorney Hlouwan the Court by surprise, but, after afew ;setioa, Judge Cedy cont nucd the cuses until next Saturday, in order that the city ight consult with the Police Department as tothe proposit.on of abaniJton- ing the loticiy field. Prosecuting Attorney Hogan wi'l lay the natter of the Lott ery Company's proposition vetore the Board of Police Commissiorers at their next weceting, and, in all likelihood, on 1¢xt Saturday the seventecn cases wiil either be thrown out ofcourt or the flues cntered re- mitted to a constderable extent.

The reason that uch u prepo ition of ret."ement wos made sprang irom the fact thatthe St. Lovis Lottery Company hvss been on its last 'egs far some weeks. It was designed apd started as a morey-making scheme, but from the first the proprietors have . been chliged to pay out moreevery week than the sale of tickets netted. Letthe wheel turnasit would, IJuckhy numbers bad a fashion of coming out on inopportune days. On the first week of the new company’s existence, the rival company obtained pos: ession of one of their tallvy-sheets and won the principal prizes. Then the law stepped in, fines agzre- gatingin all to £3,750 were assessed, there were rumors of raids fiving on every hand, and seeing nothing but a season of long and costiv litigation aiafl it was thd®:nt vest to suspend operations. White po ac tion bas as yet bec te Board ot yh wmiasiouers in the it is safe to Con} ctare that the oer of tle lot- tery company will be accented and tke prose- cution of the loticry writers discontinued.

Mr. Smit wus not in the best of humor and evi- dently regrets ever having entertained or sanctioned the proposition to close out the company’s business on the conditions enumerated above. He heid that while the sate of lottery tickets was aniliegal transaction, his company had just as much _ right’ to engage in itas the Missouri State Lottery Company. If they would retire from the ficld, he would do sO with alacrity, but bad half a mind to fight the matter to the bitter end. As a taxpayer be was entitled to as much respect at the hands of the Police Department and the courts as the rival company. He held that the Missouri State Lottery Company was furnishing the money for the prosecution ot the St. Louis Lottery Compuany, and that France and Kerr woald . be greatly elated if the corporation of the Academy of Music, etc., was forced to succumb, At the Offices. The feeling at the offices of the St. Louis Lottery Company is one of ivepidstion and geveral insecurity. The different managers are hourly expecting a raid, and are in ixz- norance of what transpired in the Court of Criminal Correction thie morning.
