Compton, Of this place. was made yes

ling nature. She is the only surviving
daughter Of the late Governor Wilson
Lumpkin, and has lived alone at the old
historical homestead with trusted fe-

late Governor and never deserted his
child. Her Christian name is Martha,
and in her honor Atlanta, Ga, was first
called Marthasville. About three years
ago she was welded to Mr.. T. NJ.
Compton. n widower, who had two
children. The marriage was objected
to by her friends. They have lived to-
gether happily since. Yesterday she
was not feeling well, and asked to have
her meals sent up 10 her rooms. She
asked for a glass Of milk. She drank
il and asked for another. II was sent
her. When she tasted it, it was bitter.
She asked IL the milk had not been

no she made an investigation and

Lotteries at Fairs.

A Boston special says: Officers of
the State police to-day arrested Lysan-
der Wood, the commander Of the
Stouehton Grand-Army Post; Thomas
Blanchard, the quartermaster, and
Fred. Lane, a comrade, on charges of
maintaining lottery, and of having in
their possession lottery-tickets with in
tent to sell. This is the beginning OF
the sequel to the lottery excitement in
that town two weeks ago. The draw
ing of prizes took place privately, and
the officers have had great difficulty in
collecting evidence, owing to the refusal
Of all concerned to furnish information.
This is regretted by many, for people
all over the State want to see the point
tested upon admitted facts whether it is
criminal to maintain lottery in con-
nection with fairs, as is done in many
places. The accused were held in
81 1000 each for examination next Tues
day. There is yet no clue to the
writers Of threatening letters to the
ministers Of the town.

Governor COburn's VIII.

BosToN, January 13.-The Journal
will publish in full in the morning the
will of Ex-Governor Coburn, Of Show
hogan, Me-, which will be probated to-
day. The firm of A. & P. Coburn are
the wealthiest in that State. The latter
died several years ago without will.
Governor Coburn left will in which he
gave larger sum to charitable and edu-
cational institutions than any other one
man in that State. The aggregate is
over 81, 100000. The chief requests are
as follows:
TO the Maine General Hospital, $780,
coo; Maine General Hospital, in Port
land, 100000; Maine State College of
Agriculture, 800, 600; Colby UNIVERSE
ty, Waterville, Maine, 100000; Bap-
list Home Mission Society, 100000,
one half TO be applied to Freedmen's
Schools Wayland Seminary, WASH
ington, ID. &C., $4,000; Ameri-
can Baptist Missionary Union, for
a Judson Memorial Fund, $4,000 ;
Maine Baptist Convention, for mis-
sionsry and religious work in the State,
sl00, 200; Waterville CLASSICAL Institute,
100000; Houlton Academy, $780,
000; Maine Industrial School for Girls.
$4,000; Baptist church, Of Skowhegan,
$4,000; to make Bloomfield Academy
free Of tuition, $1,000; for free public
library in Skowhegan, $50, 1000; to save
the worthy and unfortunate poor of
Skowhegan from pauperism, 900,
The private requests are few, and the
residue goes to the children Of hisbro-
theirs and sisters. Governor Coburn
was never married. His liberality has
placed two excellent institutions on
their feet, the Maine General College
and the Agricultural College.
