Thar MDDLEBURY HoRsE-TH EF.-AN-
OTHER EscarE.-The Odgensburg Journal
of Wednesday has the following There
was some audible profanity all along the
| line when it was announced that the pris-
oner, Frank Emory, had escaped from the
lookup. Emory is man who has not been
out OF prison five months since he was thir-
teen years old. lie is guilty OF horse theft,
burglary. burning barns, rObblng, stealing,
frscturiHg man skull, and several other
crimes. Since he broke jail at Middlebury,
be has been hotly pursued by officers both in
in Vermont and in this state. Mr.. Spear,
| the Chief of Police at RJuses Point who
came here on the train Monday night. after
| Emory had escaped, has been close upon his
| heels two or three times. On one occasion
| he fred three shots at him. Satur-
| day be gave Conductor Murray a
| full description OF the man and asked
| him to look out for the scamp as 1t was quite
| likely that he would board his train before
it arrived 0g iensburg. At Lisbon En-
DRY boarded the train Saturday night and
| was at once spotted. lie was arrested be-
fore the train reached here, and when the
train arrived was placed in the lookup.
| Policeman Murphy took charge OF the
prisoner, and in order to make sure Of his
man locked him in cell No ). Monday even
| inE. There are two keys 20 the
cell. One Of these Mr.. Murphy had in his
| pocket, the other was LETT at the lookup for
| the use OF the janitOr. \ man named John
| Green and the colOred bog Charles Hayden
have been in the habit of sleeping in the
| Lookup all winter. Green went to the lock-
up about 100 o'clock When he went in
he says he found Emory loose in the ''big
room; that Emory asked bin to bring him
drink of water. that when he started for it
he ran out and made his escape. lie went
in so much of hurry that he left his coat
| behind. II Green's statement is true, some

Little Kate Chase, when a mere
child, was the head of her fathers
establishment, her own mother and
two step-mothers. having died before
she was a dozen years old. She was a
mere schoolgirl when she presided at
his reception when he was Governor
of Ohio was bright and beautiful and
spoiled with adu1atiOn, with no
mother to guide her. She was ambi-
tiOus, and brave, and daring, and
reckless, and naughty, and defiant;
but always much beloved by her
friends. she was often in trouble I'D
the sufject of gossip, and seemed to
rely on her father to get her out of
scrapes. OHIO, in those days, was
away West; and Western girls gen
orally defy Eastern ideas of proprlety;
30 large allowance should be made
for her escapades on the tomboy
theory.
OF course her fathers political enc.
mics were willing to believe the worst.
but this is not easily recOnciled with
the fact of her being the mother of a
large family of lovely children.
Since their removal to Washington
the consuming desire of her life has
been to be First Lady. In pursuance
of this silly ambition she used to be
rude to Mrs. Lincoln in demanding
equality of precedence. It was to gain
this, the great ambition of her life,
that she urged her father into his can
dldacy for the Presidency and defeated
the impeachment of President John
son. While he was President, through
her influence with Mrs Patterson, she
snone at the White House; but had
that stannch matron, Mrs. Wade, pre-
sided there, Kate must have taken a
back seat. So, through protuse hospi-
tality, pretty toilets, constant attenG-
ance ia tie gallery, and smiles, mods,
scented notes, bouquets, and SO on aud
so forth, she turned the scale and
kept Mr.. Johnson in place.
She loves power! This country is
ruined by the women who live in
Washington All that men do, in
elections, is to send dough for them to
knead, and roll and pat, and put into
shape. Kate Chase and Winnie Ream
were the two most successful moiders
IF dough that ever met in that city

not necessary that they should be bad

loaded pistol at her, threatening to
shoot her. Gov. Sprague referred
to Senator Conkling's intimacy
with Mrs. Sprague and she repelled
any intimation Of wrong doing
on her part with great indigna-
ton. Mrs. Sprague did not come
here with the object of seeing her
husband, but only to make final ar
rangements for collecting at Canon
chet what belonged to her there,
and removing her trunks to Provi-
dence. Her friends assert that she
has consulted the very best legal
advice, and that her return to the
Sprague mansion was opposed by
her friends and counsel. Her husN
band is reported to have asked
"Do you intend to return to Canon
chet ?' and on her expressing fears
for her personal safety to have
said 81 have never harmed any
one, and you are safe" After her
children had been taken away she
was greatly agitated, aad decided
to follow them. 1t is alleged that
after night fall she took carriage
and drove back to Canonchet.

GEORGIA..

AUGUSTA, Aug. 14.-The first
bale Of new cotton at Augusta was
received to-day from Burke county.
Il was classed strictly low midlings
and weighed 422 pounds. It was
sold at the Augusta Exchange at
twelve cents per pound, and was
shipped to Havre. The first bale
last year was received eleven days
earlier.
The funeral of James Snowden, a
colored man, took place to day from
St. Paul's Church, the principal
white Episcopalian Church in this

colored people. The Rector of the

There were number of white citi-
zens in church during the services.
SAVANNAH, GA, Aug. 14.-The
Board of Sanitary Commissioners
have submitted report to the City
Council, which was r4animously
adopted, emphatically refuting GER
tain representations imputed to DIR.
A. M. Bell, Sanitary Inspector of
the National Board of Health of
this District, published in a New
York paper of the 29th ulto. The
article pronounces without founda-
ton and a misrepresentation of
their views and the views of large
number of physicians of this city,
the assumption of DR.. Bell that the
people do not realize their danger,
and do not believe that they can
not have yellow fever unless it
is brought to them from some
where else, and that the disease
never reaches Southern towns ex-
cept by ship. The implication given
by this assertion that the City Coun-
Gil and Board have confined their
efforts to any theories is rejected as
an unjust reflection, since the exer-
else of a rigid system of quaran-
tine has been combined with vigor-
Gus local sanitarian statements in
reference to the filthy condition of
the Biebo Canal, is also pronounced
without foundation, and the Board
challenges DR.. Bell, or any one
else, to prove the origin of a single
case of yellow fever occurring on
board of ship which has left
this port, which was due to the i'm
puri y of the river water taken
from point adjacent thereto. The
Board condemns the publication of
articles such as are under consider
alton, which can only affect the pub
lie mind, in June, without accom-
plishing the least sanitary benefit,
and request that the National Board
of Health adopt such measures as
will hereafter prevent the publica-
ton, by their official representa-
tives, of hastily formed opinions
which are prejudicial to the public
welfare, and which have not been
substantiated by sufficient evidence.

possible they could have exerted the
influence they did il they had been
impure.
What was required was to be pretty
and chatty, and cunning. and capti-
waiting, and keep those BOBBY men
hopping about like little the little
ball under Signor BlitZ' thimbles. 1t
is not game of vice SO much as
sleight of hand; or, at least, so it ap-
peared to me; and I watched "their
tricks and their manners pretty
closely. Men in authority like to be
amused and fisttered, and Mrs. Sprague
Is an adept in the art of amusing and
hatteriDg them.
The property left by her father had
been confiscated by the taxes levied to
meet the great Gov. Shepherd steal,
and she set her wits to work to get
those taxes remitted. / think there
was not property holder in the Dis
trict of Columbia who would not have
felt it just and right that his or her
taxes should have been cut down at
least one-half while they staggered
under that load laid upon them by the
| open thefts of men high in places.
The United States Senate, no doubt,
remitted the taxes on the old home of
Judge Chase out of respect to his
| memory, and, no doubt, his daughter
used her personal influence with Sem
ator Con king to induce him to act as
the representative of herself and sis.
ters In procuring that remission.
Ihere IS not necessarily any impro-
| p1lety In his presenting the case, and
even urging the passage Of the meas
ure as a personal favor to himself !;
that Mrs. SpIsgue did send bouquets
and notes to his desk would seem to
Indicate that her mode of lobbying
was OF the most graceful, highly ap-
| proved and innocent kind. Had her
relations with Senator Conkling been
criminal, they would scarcely have
: biOssomed out into these public man
| ifestatiOns.
That very small pattern of man,
| her husband. once proposed in the
| United States Senate to employ and
! pay lady clerks in the departments on
the same plan that he did factory
| girls; and all the soul that he has must
| have been rafting around in his little
body like grain of mustard seed in q
| dry gOurd, or he would have gone IL
| Washington last winter on the first
hint of scandal, and quietly notified
Senator Conkling that he had right al
stake and children to protect.
The fact that Senator COnklipe
went openly to Spragues house, taking
his trunk, shows that Mrs Sprague
had not given him reason to under.

instance of Kate's constitutional will

Grundy.
For her fathers sake and that Of hel
sisters and children, and for the sakt
of truth and fair dealing, trust tina
the most generous allowance will bt
made for her. She has, no doubt
been using Mr.. Conkling to procure
Government favor for herself anC

she has been false to herself and bro

SPRAGUE-CONKLING.

New York, Aug. 15.-The San
publishes from two sources an ac-
count of the meeting between ex-
Governor Sprague and his wife at
Narragansett Pier yesterday, the
substance of which is as follows
"Mr. Sprague met his wife here to-
day and had a stormy interview
with her, in which he charged her
with having been unfaithful to her
vows with some one whom he refused
to name. There is no mistake at
all about this as it was in the pres~
sence of witnesses. The Governor
took charge of his children and
said they should never again be in
costody of such woman. All
sort OF Rumors prevail here, but
they must be taken with allowance.
It is true their interview was
most unpleasant one, he
is said to have accused
Mrs. Sprague of poisoning the
minds of his children against him,
and alternating the affections of his
boy Willie through the influence of
the German tutor Linck. Mrs.
Sprague, in turn, accused her hus-
band of general brutality when
under the influence of liquor and
of circulating base and unfounded
stories against her character. She
said on more than one occasion she
had been in the peril of her life
from him, referring distinctly to one
occasion, when he had pointed a

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. 13.-An
extract from a private letter from Mrs.
VIM. Sprague 10 friend, given for
publication, makes reference to the
now notorious outbreak at the man
sion, near Narragansett Pier. She
says: "Gov. Sprague's causeless and
shameful prosecution of the children's
teacher is literally true as he tells the
story. The attempt to complicate Mr..
Conkling with this matter is absurd.
The guests of the house were removed
under Gov. Sprague's threats of mur-
der 70 be DONE"
Mrs. Sprague explains somewhat
The case against the trustee of the
bankrupt estate, in which Governor
Sprague has sought the legal counsel
of Mr.. Conkling. and says as her
means OF living at Canonchet had
been cut off, she requested Mr.. Conk-
ling. who had already been consulted
by Gov. Sprague, to see him and try
to ascertain what results were likely
to follow the proposed case that would
benefit or provide for the children.
'Mr. Conkling had stopped at Can
onchet for this purpose, and was
awaiting Gov. Sprague's return when
the outbreak occurred. II any hostile
words were exchanged between Mr..
Conkling ond Gov. Sprague at Canon
chet they alone knew what they were,
for no one else heard them. What
transpired in the village I do not
know"
Mrs. Sprague refers in severe terms
to her husbands life and habits, which
long ago interrupted marital relations
and blighted their domestic life.
