SPRAGUE-CONKLING.

Z e
New York, Sept. N2.-The fol-
lowing from the Times embraces the
main points in the special published
this morning regarding the Sprague
affair :" The reports recently pub
lished in New York and Boston pa
pers regarding Mrs. Sprague flight
from Canonchet are contradicted by
all the persons interested except
the lady herself. Her counsel dis
couraged her departure, and do not
know what are her intentions or
where she is. They say, however,
that she will not live with her hus-
band. The latter is calm and re-
signed; he says that he never inter-
fered with his wife's . corre-
spondence. Her counsel or
friends reports of the use
of physical force, which
are distinctly denied by Mr..
Sprague, are corroborated by the
testimony of A. Ell. Watson, guest
at Canonchet, and the lady's coun-
sci. The rumors of intoxicas
ton are unfounded, as the Cover
nor has been abstemious for several
months. He was asleep when his
wife went away. She, had sent her
jewelry, papers, and furniture in ad-
vance, which fact was known to
MIR. Sprague. " II apppearsnow that
Mrs Sprague returned to Canon
chet solely for the purpose of OBJ
tanning possession Of ], her daugh-
ters. 8 Mrs. Sprague employs no
counsel, but occasionally consults a
country lawyer. Mrs. Sprague ar
rived Sunday noon, at Louisdale, R.
l., little village north of Provi-
dence. Her horses were used up,
and she gave her driver twenty
dollars. She then gave Warren
Mosher, a stable keeper, twenty
dollars for getting a fresh team
ready Her new driver has not yet
returned. She is on her way to
Boston; she avoids the principal
road and breads her pursuers.

Profitable stock Investments,

Before Messrs. Lawrence & Co., the
New York bankers, inaugnrated the
combination system of operating in
stocks, 1t was often very difficult for
inexperienced operators, or even old
stagers, to deal profitably by their
single handed ventures. Now the
field Is open to every one for successful
operations, and capital in any amounts,
from $l0 to 500 900, can be used with
equal propOrtiOnats profit. Instead OF
distracting efforts among many GUS
TONERS, the orders of thousands are
concentrated into one vast pool and co.
operated for the benefit of all, dividing
profits pro rata every month. a
prominent ciuzen of San francisco
made ST. .264 SO from an investment oi
$500 last month. Oiher customers are
doing better still. $25 pays $l25 during
the month, 5000 returns ST. 200, or 6
per cent. on the stock, and so on, as the
market moves. New circular contains
two unerring rules for success" and
full instructions for any one to operate
prOfitably. All the advantages of un-
limited capital and careful manipula.
ton are secured by the combination
method. Stocks and bonds wanted

READING, Sept. 1.-Charles
Drew, one of the prisoners under
sentence of death for the murder of
VIM. Roher, with a view to secure
the amount of his life insurance, has
made a full confession. He admits
that he and his confederates pro-
cured the insurance on Roher's life
with the deliberate intention of kill
ing him, but claims that he
himself acted under threats and
compulsion. They pushed Roher
from the plank while crossing the
stream and held him under the
water until he was dead, leaving it to
be supposed, when his body was
found, that he was drowned acci>
dently. This was the second time
they had insured Roher's life with
the intention Of killing. The first
attempt was frustrated by the fail
ure of the insurance company.
