HE rain yesterday put damper on both
fairs, which it is to be hoped will be partial.
ly atoned for by pleasant weather to-day.
The State Fair does not offer horse sttrsc-
tions, but it has splendid exhibit of ma
ohinery, agricultural products and
mercantile goods. The railroad
displays Of agricultural products
would have done honor to the State at the
centennial. The fruit display is simply as
tonishing. Those who have not seen this
display should not miss the last opportunity
offered. In the matter of horses, Kings
Minneapolis fair surpasses all competition.
In fact, he distanced all the large cities in
the attractions he secured in that line. TIL.
programme with which he closes this AFTER
noon will rarely if ever be reproduced in
Minnesota, and it is entitled I'd hearty and
practical recognition. This is the closing
day of truly gala week.

lock, declaims loudly against Mr.. Gilman,
tho Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, and charges that he was chosen
in defiance of the will of the people of his
own county. How the anti Gilman people
were chosen is matter of record. They
were chosen at the instance of as corrupt q
ring as ever disgraced any county in tho
State. The primaries were held before tho
call for the county invention had been pub
lished, and by tho use of money these pri-
maries were packed. There is no doubt but
the Pillsbury ring spent at least two thousand
dollars in manipulating Stearns county. The
only persons of any consequence against
whose will Mr.. Gilman was nominated are
the well-known ringsters, CLARK, Mcclure,
Wait, Cooper and West.

ROBBERY At FAIR GROUNDS.

: robbery occurred on the fair grounds, yes
terday, which caps the climax for effrontery. 4
drunken fellow, as is usual with such dement,
ed creatures, exposed his money and swore his
roll represented millions. He thought of buy
ing out the State fair, if Col. Adams would be
thrown in for boot, and then again he exposed
his roll. All this time the extent Of his pile
Was taken in by sight by many bystanders.
From . right good point of observation Dave
Motion, . hackman, saw all that was going on,
and calculated the chances of getting the
drunken granger's wallet without making any
return, even so much a. trsdi, 8
Soon Mr.. Everett, of Langdon, got tired
crowd. Dave Motion left with him, or soon
stagger and walk, which soon degenerated
into stagger altogether, and making one final
effort to brace, he failed, and sank to repose
on the damp, damp ground. Motion came
along, saw the granger sleeping, saw that he
was yet carelessly exposing his wealth, and
fearing that somebody else besides Motion
would get the money, took it himself from
Everett's vest pocket. Motion was seen by
Messrs. Mcintosh, Ahern and Kissner to COM
init the robbery, and the affair was
reported to Chief Weber, who At
once caused his arrest. Motion denied the
charge when arrested, but when the chief be-
gan to search him he confessed and surrender
ed the money. Motion passed last night in
the lookup, and will be interviewed by Judge
Flint this morning. 5Tt

Mr.. Spra0Me Repeats the Statement that

4 Prospects Of Divorce Senator Conk-
/ lingo Part IN the Affair.
A Times ST eoial from Narraganset Pier
Gays: "Regarding his wife's departure, Mr..
sprsgue is credited with saying: Mrs.
tSprague certainly did not come or go in
consequence of any threat or act Of violence
on my part. When she went to Providence.
early in August, she went without clothing
for the little girls. thought of it but
waited until heard from her author
itatively before I acted. Word came
that she was at Conductor Hale's
house with the children. I Immediately
went there and claimed the children, and
Mrs. Sprague followed them on Saturday.
Iknew they had intended to get away on
Friday night, and went to the nursery door
and turned the knob, intending to tell the
nurse there must be none of last nights
preparations. On turning the knob, Mrs.
Sprague called out, You must not come in
here No act of violence was committed
by me then or at any other time" E
''Mr. Sprague isreported to have said that
Mrs. Sprague's movements were directed by
some one not in the family, as none of the
family knew what she intended to do or
where she designed going.
"Mr. Sprague this afternoon received .
letter from Mrs. Sprague's counsel, which
leaves no doubt on his mind that the coun-
sci are fully informed of her whereabouts.
They have declined to tell where Mrs.
Sprague is, but offered to send any baggage
Z to her that Mr.. Sprague will permit re-
moved from Canonohet. The circum-
stances point to separation, and it is con-
fdently believed that Mrs. Sprag1e had con-
templated this action looking to . separa-
ton before she left Ca1onchet. On this
subject Mr.. Sprague has expressed himself
that he did NOT believe Mrs. Sprague would
eeek . divorces, but her efforts would be d.
irected to obtaining something short Of that
- limited divorce with possession Of the
girls. Such effort Mr.. Sprague win resist
with ali his strength and means. As the.
case stands it seems it win inevitably oome'
before the public through the courts. It is
probable tfat il II does tho part Senator

pleaaant state Of affairs will be set forth

REPUBLICAN EKTkAHAGANCE.

REPUBLICAN, EXTkATAGANCE.
Gov. Garcelou, of Maine, is making q Wig
orous fight for reelection to that position,
though it must be confessed that the odds
are greatly against him. He has made .
thorough canvass of the State, speaking in
all the prominent towns, and doing much
good in exposing the hollow pretenses of the
Republicans to superior virtue and economy.
In q speech at Portland the other day, he
made some exceedingly strong points of Q
local nature against the Republican party,
that ought to be conclusive, not only in that
State but elsewhere ; for it will be found that
the same state of facts exists in every State
in which that party has secured the ascend
ancy.
By statistics derived from the report of
the attorney general and auditor, it appears
that the population of the State has decreased
about five thousand since 1860, and yet there
has been constant increase of the expense
Of maintaining every branch of the govern
ment. This increase cannot be charged, o.
in other States, to an increase of population,
crime or other causes, but is directly attrib-
utable to the extravaganza of those who have
had control of affairs. As an instance Of
this, we may mention that in 1860 the cost
Of maintaining the prisoners in Jail was but
| $26, 900, while now, for nearly the same
number of criminals, the cost is $22S,OO0.
In the year 1856, when the Democrats had
control of the government of the State, the
entire cost of maintaining every department
was 100000. In 1873, the last year of Re-
publican asoendanoy, the State expenses were
little over 100000.
| The schools are fewer in number and lower
in grade than they were in 1860, and
contain ten thousand fewer scholars
than then, yet the cost of maintaining
them has more than trebled. So with all
the departments of which the State
has jurisdiction. The expenses are greatly
in excess Of expectations, and far greater
than the necessities of the government re-
quire.
The same state of things exists elsewhere
than in Maine. All the New England States
have decreased in population within the past
twenty years, yet in all the cost of maintain
ing the government has been doubled or
quadrupled. In the West it has been the
same. At the South a like extravaganza
marked the brief domination of the Repub-
liosn party. For these increased burdens
the people derive no adequate compensation.
The schools are no better; the police func-
tons of the government are performed with
no greater fidelity; the people are no more
prosperous in any respect than they were
twenty years ago; their officers perform their
duties-and they are no greater than for.
merly-with far less ability and regard for
the interests of the people. The fact is that
the Republican party is oorrupt it has null
tiplied useless Offices; it has been too lavish
in the use of the peoples money. This is
the record it has made from Maine to Califor-
mia, and it is record of which it has no rea-
son to be proud.

A BLOODLESS DUEI.

Too South Carolina Blsods Undertake to
Settle a Dispute by a Resort to the C0de--
Nobody Hu,s,
[spartansburg Special, Sept. FL
Information was received here TODAY of
q duel which took place yesterday at Ian
caster, in this State, between Charles Shan
non and Capt. T. Clarke, two of the most
prominent young men in this section. Clarke
is editor of the Camden Journal. Shannon
is the son of Col. William Shannon, one of
the wealthiest planters in the State. Mr..
Thomas j. Ancrim acted as second for Mr..
Shannon, and Mr.. @. g. Alexander acted in
similar capacity for Capt. Clarke. i.
1t seemed that Capt. Clarke and his an
tagonist, Mr.. Shannon, were personal
friends, but that the former, in his position
as editor, had deemed it his duty to publish
an article rejecting very severely on the con-
duct of the board of county commissioners
in regard to certain bridge. Col. William
Shannon, the father of Mr.. Charles j. Shan
non, is the chairman of the board. Col.
Shannon published card in the
Kennisaw Gazette, in reply, rejecting upon
Capt. Clarke in such Q manner that it was
understood that he was making an arrange
ment to call Col. Shannon to account.
MIR. Charles j. Shannon, not wishing his
father to be challenged at his time of life,
determined to take the matter on his own
hands and accordingly challenged Capt.
Clarke for the previous attack on Col. Shan
non. The challenge was accepted, but Capt.
Clarke was arrested and incarcerated in jail,
and it seemed as if the anticipated combat
was to be prevented. The gallant captain,
however, succeeded in escaping from cus-
tody. The weapons and terms chosen were
Smith & Wesson revolvers, twenty PAGES,
each party to advance and fire until the
weapons were exhausted and one OF the par
ties was disabled. The seconds, however,
in consideration of the previous re-
lations of the two gentlemen engaged
and the nature of the dispute, deter
mined that there should be but one shot al
lowed on each side. Both parties behaved
with GOODNESS and courage, and faced the
music like men, bat both missed their aim.
It seemed q pity that nothing more should
come of the fight, not even q reconciliation,
but it had been determined before hand that
there should be no second fire, and the
parties separated and left the ground with
out saluting each other, as is customary in
such affairs. Both parties think they are
right, as matter Of course, but as Capt.
Clark does not reiterate his charges in the
last editorial issue Of his paper, but simply
calls for an investigation of the matter by
the grand jury, it is to be hoped that no
further personal reoontre will result.
