SPRAGUE AND CONKLING.
HOW AN ATTEMPT AT MYsTIFICATIoc
HAS BRED SCANDAL.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE news
that Senator Roscoe Conk ing was the
object of Mr.. Sprague's wrath at Nara
gansett Pier was brought here to-day by
the World. The outbreak is traced
back by persons here familiar with all
the parties to a misunderstanding of old
date between Ex-Governor Sprague and
Senator Conkling, which appeai to have
originated in the fact that Senator Conk
ling was called in to protect the interests
of the children Of Mrs. Sprague IN some
real estate in this city over which ex-
Governor Sprague has. 1t is believed, no
control. This misunderstanding has
long been noto' ious bere, though little
attent on has been drawn to 1t, as Seria-
tor Conkling Is a man Of retired habits
and ex Governor Spragne has been sell
dom at the capital. Mr.. Conkling last
winter undertook as a LAWYER TO free
Edgwood, Chief-Justice Chase's resi-
dence, about II lie out Of the city, from
taxes and the inte, est that had accumu-
laten in consequence Of defaults IN their
payment.
The news Is received here as some
thing expected, and Mr. Conkling has SO
few tr ends in Washington, especially
now that the adminis ration is abo II
all there is here tha not ma regrets
are expressed on the subject. I 1hos'
who called on Secretary Sherman to
day say That he laughed pleasantly a
, one who had heard good news whel
spoken to about the incident.
NARRAGANsETT PIER. August H.
Notwithstanding. the fact that the Spra
que incident has been before the publ
for three whole days the excitement her
J tonight is infinitely greater t. an 1t ha'
been at any time since the world at larg
first got wind ofthe matter. 1t is ssseI
ted by respectable pc sons that Mr.. Sprs
que has long entertained a strong dlslik
to Senator Conkling and has treated hiI
on previous occ as ions with unfriendline

NEW CASTLE, Aug. ~.
Yesterd,y morning, about 0 O'Clock,
distressing and horrible accident occur
cd In the fue mill of the Delaware Iron
company, whereby A. Stokes, an oiler,
lost his life. He was one noted for his
afiacable disposition, an EnRlishuan
about 45 years of age, born In London,
and had been employe Of the company
for about 10 years, during which time
he has occupied the position OF oiler.
he leaves q wife and one son about IA
years Of age. l CLEAN the following
from those who saw the accident He

duties, TO walk Immediately, over por-

his head was mangled by each revolu-

was stopped and after some trouble he
was liberated insensible, from which
state he never recovered. His little boy
aged IA heard by some means of the
accident, and was near him by the time
he was laid upon door tobe taken home,
aud his grief was heart rending, causing
tears to flow down the cheeks Of many
Of the working men.
He was taken to his residence IN Dob

head, one despei ate wound under his
chin, and around his neck, the left arm
badly tOrn,and a wound beginning under
the left nipple and entering to the shou |

quire the attention of the coroner, for

be thrown around them. In this case it

From the Lancaster Int lIigencer:
COnkIing and the SpraEues.

A remarkable report comes from Mar
ragausett Pier to the effect that Mrs. |
Kate Chase Sprague's husband and Mr.. |
Roscoe Conkl ling, United States Senator
from New York have had an alteration
about the origin of which there seems to
be no agreement in the reports save that
it was ia no wise connected with the re-
latlons of these two gentlemen to the
LADY above named. For years the names
of these three people have been In the
mouths of Washington gossips, coupled
in vague .umor aud sinister hints that
rarely find public expression. Mrs.
| Spraeue lives in handsome place near
Washington, while her husband resides
| in Rhode Island. Senator Conkling lives
! in Washington while his wife lives in
Utica He visits Mrs. Sprague oftrner
| than he visits his own wife, and more
frequently than she is visited by Mr..
Sprague, and yet few correspondents
have ever had the temerIty to assert that
anything but the most chivalrous and
honorable relations existed between my
lord and lady. Everybody talks vaguely
as if there was q valcano growing under
them, but nobody has touched it of.
So when a report comes from Nara
gansett of difficulty between Sprague
and Conkling, resulting in the temporary
e r-moval of the Sprague family from theil
n residence to the hotel, of Mr.. Sprague

THE unpleasantness which the pres
ence of Senator Conkling at the mansion
of Ex-Governor Sprague has created a
great scandal in high circles at Nara
Qansst Pier. But it appears that this
thing is not very new-that Conkling's
frequent visits to Mrs. Sprague's house
in Washington during her husbands ab-
seuce, and the absence of his own wife
in Utica, N. Y, has been frequently the
cause of comment.

to his duties of Collector Of Internal
Revenue for this district, has rec lived
the following complimentary letter. 1t
Is possible that SO few Republicans do
this as to make letter of this kind quite
a novelty ; and we are happy to be able
to present this record in Mr.. McIntire's
favor. We certainly expected nothing
else Of him, as we have long known him
to be. one of the IN st upright, honorable,
accomplished gentlemen in the employ
of the government. The letter is in cir
cular form from Washington, and is as
follows:
Hon. James McIntire, Collector In
ternal Revenue, Wilmington, Del, Sir :
1t appears fIom the official examination
of the records and accounts of your Of
fce that the public moneys collected
during the fiscal year, ending June 3Oh,
1879, have been duly accounted for.
This faithful performance of public
trust, merits commendation, and take
pleasure in rendering to you the thanks
of this Office therefor.

Had the letter contained the amount
ofmoney collected during the year in th
district it would have given some import

Senator Blaine's prediction about the
Maine election put into figures does not
show any too much confidence for man
Of his generally cheerful disposition
The Senator estimates that there will be
1875 900 votes cast OF this number he
gives 1000 to the Republican candidate
$1,000 to the Greenbscker and Is 900 TO
the Democratic candidate. In reaching
these figures he estimates that there H.
600 Republicans who did not 60 to the
polls last year who will vote this year;
that there are $4,000 Republicans who
voted the Greenback ticket last year
who have returned to tho Republican
party, aud will at the coming election
vote the ticket Of that party. This esti-
mate only gives q Republican majority
of 5000 which is pretty small margin to
rely upon in State where parties are so
thoroughly broken up. Last year the
vote was: Republican, sc, ,5I9; Greenback
Al ,4O4, and Demo cratic, 27,872.

TUEsDAY, AUGUST IL, 1879.

The Republican still asserts that tne
affain Of the city cannot be conducted
under tax levy of $l.l5 cents on the
500. Now, we cannot make this news
D, per or its partisans believe to the con-
trary, and we therefore, see no use In
pursuing the controversy. The Demo-
cr.ts In Council have reduced the city
tax to that rate and Mr.. Guthrie, the
chairman of the Finance Committee, has
taken q great deal Of pains to explain
how the matter has been done; and TO
assure all parties that there will be
enough money in the city treasury in
September, together with what may be
expected from the city's resources, TO ru d
the municipal government to April.
That Is three months longer than the
fiscal wear. Then Mr.. Guthrie says in
April money will be borrowed to run
the city until the receipt of the taxes In
July. In that month over $500, 600 Is
paid in, and it is better to borrow Tor
three months than to have money lying
idle twelve months. In the most open,
fair and pleasant manner Mr.. Guthrie
has stated the policy of his committee,
and defended the wisdom Of its action.
In adopting this course we believe the
City Council did right.
The Republican goes so far as to de-
mand Slips on the 500, and argues that
the tax rate will have to be raised to that
sum next year. We presume, therefore
that the citizens may ,ook out for thi'
drain upon our resources If it should
happen that the Republicans elect ma
jority of the members If the City Coun
Gil. Our only hope therefore in secur
ing reduction is in electing a majorlt.
Of Denocra ats to Council The Repub
licans have run the city at high rate o
taxation so long, some fifteen ye ITS, tina
they will not attempt to reduce ex
penses. This is the logical inference
And now they pror ose to return some
the very members who were in Council
during the most extravagant times c
the old Republican Ring that led tn
late Chief Engineer astray.
