The Sprague Estate.

A special to the New York Times from
Providence, r. l., says the creditors eff
the house of A. & w. Sprague, believing
the estate was not being managed by
Zachariah Chafee, trustee, for their in t.
terest, are moving to obtain control of
the property. They claim that upward
of one year has elapsed since the expira-
ton of the period during which they
consented to wait for their pay, leaving
the property meanwhile in the posses
sion of the insolvent corporation under
a trustee and assignee of its own selec-
ton. The shrinkage in values causes
them to believe there is no valuable
equity of redemption in the property, and
they do not propose to wait for further
depredations. The trustee claims to
have done all he could for the parties.
and refuses to resign his profitable place
which he has held four years. The in
debtedness of the firm amounts to nearly
So, 900, 900. No interest has been paid
since January, 1876, and not cent of
the principal has been paid. The mills
and other industries owned by the COR
poration are in full operation, and are
doing as well as other New England
manufactures. Both sides have emil
nent counsel, and it is the determination
of the creditors to appeal to the courts
for redress.

Bull Run.

Gen. Mcdowell, the Federal COM
mander at Manassas, and trained sol
der of unusual requirements, was so
bounded and worried by ignorant and
impatient politicians and newspapers,
as to be scarcely responsible for his
acts. This may be said of all the COM
manders in the beginning of the war
notably of the Confederate General
Albert Sidney Johnston-whose early
loss on the field of Shiloh was irrepara-
BILE, and, mayhap, determined the fate
of the South. McDowell's plan of bat
tie was excellent, and its execution by
his mob no worse than might have been
confidently expected. The late Gov.
Andrew, of Massachusetts,, observed
that his men thought they were going to
a town-meeting. This is exhaustive
criticism. With soldiers at his disposal,
Mcdowell would have succeeded in
turning and overwhelming Beauregard's
left, driving him from his rail commune
cations with Richmond, and preventing
the junction of Johnston from the val
ley. 1t appears that Beauregard was,
to some extent, surprised by the attack.
contemplating movements by his center
and righta His exposed and weak left,
however, stubbornly resisted the shock
of the opposing masses. Beauregard,
whose personal daring and GOODNESS
were most inspirlting, brought up as
sistance from the center and right, and
the ground was held until Johnston,
who had skillfully eluded Patterson,
arrived, and began feeding the fight
with his people, when the affair was
soon decided. There can be little ques-
ton that, with strong brigade of SOL
diers, Johnston could have gone to
Washington and Baltimore. Whether,
with his means, he should have ad-
vanced has been too much and angrily
discussed already. Napoleon held that,
no matter what the confusion and ex-
haustion of a victorious army, de-
feated one was hundred-fold worse,
and action should be based on this. As
suredly, if there be justification in dis
regarding the axiom of Napoleon, the
wild confusion of the Confederates after
Manassas, to which 1 have alluded,
would afford it.-Gen. Dick Taylor

Michigan as a Temperance State.

The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue furni shes some interesting temper
ance statistics from which it appears
that Michigan occupies very honorable
place on the list as n temperance State,
though not quite at the head. Michigan
is SCI down as having one distillery.
Louisiana also has one, and Minnesota
none. Wisconsin comes next with nine,
and Texas third with twelve. Michigan
has 1913 breweries, North Carolina none;
Tennessee, 2; Georgia, 3; Virginia, 8;
Louisiana, II. But these States, except
Louisiana, make it up in their number
of distilleries. Michigan has 80 whole
sale liquor-dealers; Minnesota, 81; North
Carolina; 81; New Jersey, 40; Virginia,
49,; Connections, SO; Iowa, 70, Georgia,
90; Wisconsin, 81, and others from lis
to TAI. Michigan has 1896 saloons;
North Carolina, 1884; Georgia, 2,028;
Minnesota, 2,044; Connecticut, 2,49O;
Virginia, 2,57S; Tennessee, 1858; Tex
as, 1850; Louisiana, $3.50; Iowa, 1851
Kentucky, 4,224; Maryland, 1920; Wis
consin, 4, 470; and the rest more each
than Michigan. This list only gives
twenty-five States, emitting Maine, New
hampshire, NtIulOut, AshouO Ioi"HN,
South Carolina, Delaware, Alabama.
Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, West Vir-
ginia and Oregon, each of which shows
a less number of saloons than Michigan.
The following are the statistics from
some of the States omitted in the above
list In the State of Maine there are no
distilleries or rectifying establishments,
but 4 breweries, 8 wholesale liquor
dealers, and only 4O2 saloons. In the
State of Kentucky, which is about equal
in population, there are 754 distilleries,
"a rectifying establishments, 81 brew
cries, 240 Wholesale liquor-dealers, and
1924 saloons. In Vermont there are
only 2 breweries, wholesale liquor
dealer, and only 4S3 saloons. New
Hampshire has 2 distilleries, IL whole
sale liquor-dealers and $50 saloons.

Justiilable Homicide.

Kirkwood, a suburb of st. Louis,
has had big sensation, Jack Simmons,
yellow man who had just served a
term in the penitentiary, being shot and
Instantly killed by Christopher Walters,
proprietor of secondhand store on
Main street. Mr.. Walters was awak-
ened by the noise of breaking glass,
and, looking toward the front of the
store, saw man reaching in through the
pane, which he had smashed with his fist,
and taking hold of a couple of guns.
He seized a revolver and fired at
the burglar, who succeeded in getting
the guns out, after which he started to
run, dropping one of the guns at dis
lance of about ten feet from the store
and the other about 100 yards distant,
after which he managed to stagger i've
or ten feet further, when he fell and ex-
pired. An examination Of the body
showed that the wound from which
death resulted was in the left breast, and
in the immediate vicinity of the heart.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict OF
iustifiable homicide.

As lead is an important element in
what is herein termed base bullion, we
might add that of Missouri and Illinois,
value approximately 81, 500, 900, which,
with the silver and gold of the Lake Su-
perior country, Virginia, and North and
South Carolina, amount say $500, 900,
would swell the gross product to over
$780, 100000 for the year. The lead
product of Utah, Nevada and California
exceeds that of the remainder OF the
United States and Territories combined,
and in tonnage is greater this year than
ever before, though not exceeding in
value that of 1876, the average price

its welcome, even for a Base Range

proceeded from the back benches both
before and during the performance
would have done credit to an old time
political gathering. 1t may be as well

that the male element largely predom-

ladies dressing room, and, snugly en-
>conced in his position. with a peep hole
cut through thelining, gave hlm>elfup
To the contemplation OF the beauties 50
lavishly displayed beneath him. Tn
fortunately for him his presence was
discovered, and Officer Cau>ey pro
ceeded to dislodge him from his eiigi-
Bile retreat. While the officer was
making his way upward, n of the
females, under the impression that he
was another naughty intruder, dis
charged her little pistol at him, the ball
passing in close proximity, hut fnrtu-
nately not hitting the mark. The Mex

and we understand that a criminal

day.
