LOTTERY CRIPPLED.
Great Drop i'm the Stock of the Louisiana
Concern.

WAsHINGTGN, D. c., August ct ap-
pears that the vigorous war waged against
the lottery companies by the Postoffice
Department is beginning to bear fruit.
Mr. Rathbone, Chief Postoffice Inspector,
is Just advised from reliable source in
New Orleans that within the past week
the Louisiana State Lottery Company's
stock has deprecated from 1900 TO $500
share. The Anti-LOttery League in Lou
isiana seems to be very active and thor
oughly in earnest in its work. IL was in
session to-day at Baton Rouge where il
met in convention for the purpose Of de-
vising means to defeat the Louisiana Lot
terry Company, which il denounces as q
menace to their liberty, and 10 take steps
to bring 10 justice some members OF the
Legislature and others who are accused Of
the corrupt use of money during the last
session of the Legislature, when the Lot
terry bill was pending.
The Anti-LOttery League is very much
stimulated to activity by the recent dis
play of energy on the part of the Postofiice
Department in taking decisive steps
against the lottery companies and the APP
pointment of Major Eaton as postmaster
at New Orleans in place of Mr.. Mott, who
was reputed TO be in thorough harmony
with the lottery company.

for the Bill.

New ORLEANS, August 9.-The Farmers
State Alliance is now in session at Baton
Rouge. President T. S. Adams in his an
nual address strongly denounced the lot
terry, and recommended that those members
of the Alliance who veted for the Lottery
bill in the Legislature be expelled. His
recommendations were unanimously adopt
ed by a rising vote. j. NJ. Stalings, ex-
President of the Alliance, and present
Chairman of the Committee on Constitu-
ton, heretofore one of the most prominent
and influential members, but who, as a
member of the Legislature ;oted for the
Lottery bill was refused admission into
the meeting. The committee of which he
is chairman refused to let him preside over
it or even meet with it. The President of
the Alliance refused to speak to him. He
left Baton Rouge this morning under the
pretense that letter from home recalled
him, but he came to New Orleans instead
of going to his home in North Louisiana.

ENGLISHMAN'S BRIDE.
Miss virginia schley to Wed Famous
Name.

NEWPORT, r. l., August o. Society
circles here are much inter ested in an en-
gagement which is shortly TO be an
nounced between Virginia Schley, daugh-
ter of the commander of the flagship
Baltimore, and Ralph Montague Stuart
Wortley, nephew of the Earl of Wharne-
cliffe. and son Of Sir James Montague
Stuart Wortley. Miss Schley is in
her twenty-first year and described
by those who know her as very
pretty girl with unaffected and win
ming manners which have won for
her host of friends in the society Of
New York, Washington and elsewhere.
She is of medium height, light complex
ioned, with brown hair and gray brown
eyes. Mr.. Stuart Wortley is between
twenty-five and twenty-siX years of age,
a tall, fine looking young man of light COM
plexion and with a light mustache. He be-
longs to a well known English family that
is one of the oldest in the west riding of
Yorkshire, and connected by blood and mar
riage with many families prominent in the
British aristOcracy The present Earl of
Wharncliffe is third in his line and married
to.a daughter of the Earl of Harewood.
The seats of the family are WOrtley hall,
Sheffield Yorkshire, Belmont castle,
Meigle, Perthshire, with n London resi-
dence at Wharncllfte house, CurZon street,
Mayfair.
What makes the engagement all the more
interesting is the fact that young Wortley
is about to become an American citizen.
He came to this country three or four years
ago and determined to learn the railroad
business. He entered the employment OF
the Richmond and Danville railroad, and
lives at Portsmouth, Va, where he holds
an important post in the service Of the
company. The Schleys come of an old
Maryland family. Captain Winfield Scott
Schley who commands the flagship of the
North Atlantic squadron and will on Sat
urday have the honor of accompanying the
president TO Boston, has a distinguished
record in the navy and commanded the
Thetis in the Greely relief expedition. Fol
