BOGUS LOTTERY TICKETS.
Governor of Louisiana Uncovers an
Imposition Upon the Public.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. Ex-Governor Yates
has referred to Attorney General Hamlin the
following communication, just received from
Governor W. W. Heard of Louisiana:
Il am informed that a concern styling
itself the Louisiana State Loan & Trust
Company, and claiming to be Incorporated
under authority of all act of the General
Assembly of this State. at its session of
1881, is doing a large business as a lottery
company in Peoria. Chicago and other cities
of your State. The lottery tickets of this
concern are countersigned by one Il. j.
Borden, president On the back Of the
ticket there is a clause to the effect that
payment of all prizes are guaranteed by
the American National Bank of New Or
leans. Bank of Commerce, New Orleans,
and Bank of North America, New Orleans
Il beg to inform you that no such banks
as the above named are in existence. They
closed their doors some years ago. The
laws of this State prohibit lotteries. There
is no such corporation in the State as the
Louisiana Loan & Trust Company and
the General Assembly held no session in
1881.
II thought il proper to bring this matter
to your attention. as inquiries are constant
ly coming to our Secretary of State for IN
formation about this concern, in order that
you may take such action as you deem
proper"

COURT REFUSES TO
DECIDE QUESTION.
Says 1t Is Not Sitting to Determine
Whether Heiress Would Mar
ry Man Named in Will.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Nov. 26-Justice Scott of the
New York Supreme Court to-day refused to
decide whether Fannie Rayne McComb
would marry Louis Herzog, to whom she is
betrothed.
THE question is purely abstract and aca-
demic.' says the Judge in his decision. THE
courts do not sit to determine such ques-
tons"
Miss McComb is the young woman whose
father, James Jennings McComb, died at
Dobb's Ferry some time ago leaving a pc
cular will. He provided that his estate of
sl00oo0oo should be divided equally between
his four children, but should Fannie marry
Herzog she was to have only an income of
$4,000 a year, to be derived from a trust
fund of $4,000. the principal of which was
to go TO her children at her death.
Miss McComb naturally objected to these
terms, and brought an action in the Su-
preme Court to have the will construed. She
made the contention that she had not mar
ried HerZog, and that, therefore, under the
terms of the Will she was entitled to share
in the million-dollar estate, which is in
the hands Of executors. In his decision
Judge Scott says:
she has not yet married the person named
in the will. and il is of course, possible
that she may never do SO. The question as
to the validity of this provision of the cod
icil is not. therefore. at present practical
question as TO which the trustees or exec
utorS need advice and Instruction, and il
may never become SUCH
The executors will. therefore, have to take
on themselves the responsibility of paying
to Miss McComb an equal share of the es-
tate with her sisters and brother, or of
Withholding IL and creating the trust men,
toned by her father.
