The position of President of the Insurance company win require all of Mr.

Morris time, and he will give up the presidency of the Louisville Oaa Company, wblcb be has held for the past twelve or fifteen years. It is likely that he will resign his office with the Gas Company at next regular meeting-. January 9. It la likely that Mr. Udolpho Snead will ucceed Mr.

Mr. Snead was seen laat night and asked If ha would take the presidency of the Ga Company. "The only notice I have received that 1 have been considered for president of the company baa been Indirect. The first Intimation I bad was through the newspapers. I have Just returned from New Tork, and knew nothing of the movement.

Capt. Baird To Resign.

A letter received In JeffersonvUle yesterday from one of the members of Company E. One Hundred and ixty-ttrst Indiana-regiment, which belongs to Lee's Seventh army corps at Havana, states that Capt. Louia C. Baird, of Company E. which Is made up principally of Jeffersonvllle boys, has resigned, or has his papers ready to forward to the War Department.

It waa through the efforts of Capt. Baird that Jeffersonvllle was enabled to send a company to war, and his military equipment baa placed the One Hundred and Sixty-first In the front rank of the corps. Gen. Lee baa taken occasion frequently to oom-pllment It. This he did at Jacksonville and attain at Savannah.

When the troops left Savannah for Havana Capt. Baird was made commander of the i'irst battalion of the regiment. Hi. leave of absence was granted by his employers for but six months, and its ex- titration In a short time make it necessary him to retire. -He ha.

I 1 raided: Detectives Swoop Down On a Lottery. ALL PARAPHERNALIA SEIZED. SEN A NETWORK 07 ELECTRIC WI2E3, BUTTONS AND XEVERS. TRIED HARD TO ESCAPE. A lottery den in the rear of 577 West Broadway was raided early last night by Detectives Armstrong and Plamp.

AH the occupants of the place were placed under arrest, and the paraphernalia was seised. The officers hsd considerable difficulty In raiding the place on account of the methods adopted by the operators to avoid detection. The quarters were In smalt rooms In the rear of M. Rose's cigar store. The place was a network of electric wires, press buttons, wick Ms and avenues for escape.

Detectives Armstrong and Plamp got a tip some time ago that a nameless lottery waa be In conducted there, and that the operators were making money band-over-fist. They watched the corner several nlghta and readily discovered that a rushing lottery business waa going on, but that every precaution was being taken to elude the police. Last night the officers stood on the cor ner until they saw Rose, the owner of the cigar store, open the door leading from the rear jooma. They then burst through the store, past him and Into the lottery den. Four or five different electric bells began to ring simultaneously, wickets drop-' ped.

doors closed, a lever creaked and the lights went out. The officers left in the dark, and the construction of the rooms waa ao peculiar that they could not find their way out. Before the men could escape they struck matches and proceeded to raid the place. i Val Leltsch. who.

It I alleged, la a partner In the business with Rosa, locked the door leading; Into the room where the drawings were being sold, and refused to admit the officers. While Detective Armstrong' kept a watch on Rose and the motley crowd of players. Plamp broke the door open, and, seizing Leltsch. placed him under arrest. The men tried all means to escape, but the detectives threatened to shoot If any one started to run.

The patrol wagon waa called and the men were taken to Central police station. All of them were charged with vending lot tery tickets. AH the prisoners except Rose and Leltsch were colored. They gave their names aa follows: C. M.

Rose, Val Leltsch. Bob Ben-irlng, Alf. Mayfleld. Isaac Howard. George Washington.

Harry Baker. Alex George Crenshaw. Henry Taylor. P. A In us.

E. L. Brummet and Charles William. Tne paraphernalia, consisting or araw- lnga. sheets, numbers and money, were taken to police headquarters to be used aa evidence In the cases, which, will be called this morning In the Police Court.

The detectives say the room were wired in order to give signals In the event of- a raid. The press buttons, door levers and other contrivancea were so fixed that either of the operators sitting; tne of the jwms couM. Tt a button and pulling a little lever lock all the doors, turn out the lights and signal to the play-era that the poUca were about.

FINDING OP THE EXPLORER'S BAIXOON IS THE FIRST EEAX CLEW. MYSTERY OF LINCOLN SEA. Wreck of Airship Is Discovered Close To th Pole. BARS POSSIBILITY 01" mruTT, Chicago Inter Ocean. What has become of AndreeT Is to living in the temperate region which It Is conjectured exists at the North Pole? Did hla balloon sink in the sea or la he eking out an existence on some frozen island, watching eagerly for the rescuer who never comes? These queries have bern excited afresh by th latest news from the Andree expedition, which was received laat week.

Col. Johnson, stationed at Fort Norman. In tbe Canadian Northwestern provinces, near the Mackenzie river, telegraphs that Amiree's balloon has been found. Th wrecked air car waa discovered floating in Lincoln sea. a big pocket of the Arctic ocean between Greenland and Grantland.

The cablegram which Col. Johnson sent to Stockholm reads thus: "I have heard from a whaling vessel that arrived from the north that a balloon was seen In Lincoln sea. It was In ruins. On the wooden handle of a rifle which was found was carved U.bJ Inscription: GOING NORTH. FRAENKEL.

"The date on the gun handle could not be made out-" Fraenkel waa one of the two men who started from Dane's Island, near Spitsbergen, with Andree on his perilous trip. In the summer of 1X97. Andree has cow been gone one year five i l.f": i. 111 months and fourteen days. When he started he expected to visit the North Pole and return, to Sweden tn two months, at the most.

The balloon carried food for barely two months, fastened in packages to the ropes- The finding of the balloon Is the second time that the explorer has been heard from sine the airship sailed away from precipitous Dane's Island July 11. 1897. A few days after he left a carrier pigeon was caught in the vicinity of Point Barrow with a note which was undoubtedly written by Andree. It stated that the voyage was progressing favorably; that the airship was In latitude 82 degrees north and longitude 15 degrees east, and that this was the fourth pigeon that had been sent out. Possibilities of Andrea's Course.

The other pigeons must have perished, for they were never heard from. This note would Indicate that for two days at least the airship had taken a course away from Lincoln sea, the place where CoL Johnson asserts that the balloon has been found. It might have drifted a great distance, however, from the point at which It first went down. Th finding of the balloon and the message on the gun handle may be construed as some slight encouragement to those who have feared the worst for the brave explorer and his two companions. It proves that at least the balloon did not sink into the sea and drown the three men.

It is most likely that they succeeded in getting their store of provisions, boats, sledge and ammunition from the carriage. Otherwise they would hardly have continued on their northward trip, as the message Indicates. It seems likely, also, that they were a great deal farther north than Lincoln sea when the balloon went down, or they would not have entertained the hope of still pressing on toward the pole. The northern end of Lincoln sea is at least miles rrora tne north pole. Andree was known always as a cautious and cool-headed man.

and It Is most unlikely that be kept on with out some show of success. This being tbe case. It Is not beyond the bounds of reason to suppose that he may be alive, locked up on some Island in the tem-oerat open sea which surrounds the pole, but the hope Is a desperate one. If Anuree roaae tne trip in wueiy, and Is now at the North Pole, he has spent the greatest length of time In the Arctic regions ever passed there by an explorer. At the greatest calculation hew could nave nown irom uane isiana ta the pole, which is a distance of not over 600 miles.

In twenty-four hours. This, In Xact, is what Andree originally Intended doing. He expected to reach the pole In twenty-four hours, spend a day there taking observations, and return to Dane's Island within three days. As a precaution the balloon was victualed for three months. Probable Pat of Voyagers.

The indications are that Andree reach ed some point a great deal further North than Lincoln sea, that he sailed more slowly than he had anticipated. and that finally some accident happened to the balloon. Whether he Is alive today depends upon the locality he had reached when the balloon failed. If this waa near the open Polar sea, the party may have taken to their small boat, made their way to tbe beautiful region of the pole, and are unable to get back. For all anybody knows, th problem of living may be greatly simpli fied by tne warm climate of the im mediate polar region.

A third alternative is the idea that they may' have reached th North Pole, crossed it. and set out to travel down through Siberia.

Andree was accompanied by two friends, both scientists. Herr Fraenkel and Herr Strlnberg. Andree told his friends before starting that if perfectly successful, and if he found a good station near the North Pole, he might remain away from three to five years. If, as he hoped, he could find an Eskimo village near the warm regions of the open pole, be would remain there until he had completed his full geographical survey. Axel Stake, who Inflated Andree's balloon, and who Is a scientific aeronaut.

Is living in New Tork. He has always entertained grave doubts as to the success of the expedition. According to Stake, Andre was unwilling to start on July 1L 1897. He was urged into It against his better Judgment by Herr Fraenkel and Herr Strlnberg. The start was to have been- made the year before that, but a strong wind sprang up and continued from the north, and the trip had to be put off.

Herr Fraenkel and Herr Strlnberg feared a repetition of the delay. The nor. came again and blew for days. Andre Started Under Protest. On July 10 a south wind blew up during the night- Andree was waiting a day to see whether it would continue, and only reluctantly consented to leave.

His balloon, th Orden, says Herr Stake, waa the tightest and strongest ever constructed. Try as they would, however, it leaked gas so considerably, that. Herr Stake declares. It could not possibly have floated more than fifteen days. Two-thirds of the drag ropes which wer to have been used in steer ing and a lot of gaa were lost In making a start.

The balloon was of pongee silk, and carried a basket-work car seven feet in diameter. The news of the finding of the baVnon In Ljnocln Sea proves that, as Andree- anticipated, a. north wind sprang np and forced the balloon from Its Intended course. Numerous expeditions have been sent In search of Andree, and circulars in several languages offering a reward for information concerning him have been distributed over tbe North. The Well-man expedition went from this country.
