PROVIDENCE R. l., Aug. l0.--The particulars
of the decidedly spicy encounter which took
place at Naragansett Pier Friday evening, in
which figure prominently ex-Gov. William
Sprague of Rhode Island and Senator Conkling
of New York, besides one or two persons of less
reputation, are as follows: It seems that Mrs.
Sprague who it will be remembered was Kate
Chase, arrived at the Pier from Washington q
fortnight ago and was stopping at her hus-
band's residence. The German teacher whom
she brought with her to instruct her children,
Prof. George Linok, of New York, by some
means excited the Senator's most violent wrath
and was forbidden the premises. Linck not re-
alizing that Sprague was in earnest visited the
house on Friday and the result was q very
disagreeable encounter. Sprague came to the
house, and finding the professor there, flew
into rage and ordered him to leave; and, seiz
ing double barreled shot gun, threatened to
of the guests that he had better leave, as there
was to be murder in the house. The ladies
screamed, and great deal of excitement re-
suited, during which the luckless litterateur
skedadled. Sprague followed him to the viii
lage but did not chance to encounter him. Sen
ator Conkling was at Sprague's residence dur
ing the scene, but saw nothing of it, as he
was in the library, engaged in legal business
for Sprague. However, hearing the ladies'
scream, he rushed to the parlor and saw all the
non-combatants safely removed to the rear. He
then walked to the village and overlook the
belligerent statesman, and asked him what the
matter was. Sprague told Lord Roscoe to
mind his own business, and Lord Roscoe took
the next train for Providence. Exaggerated
reports of the row obtained wide circulation,
and all sorts of stories have been rife in Prov
idence all day. The above, however, is all there
is in it.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. l0.-Announcement
was made yesterday that Chas F. Barron, late
general freight and passenger agent of the De
troit & Bay City road, was adefaulter to a large
amount: On Saturday he went to the superin.
tendents Office, drew his pay and left the city.
Since that time he has not been seen, and his
wife becoming alarmed, left town on Tuesday
last in search Of him. The trouble with Barron
is undoubtedly mania for wheat speculation.
While employed on the Chicago & Northwest
ern he became financially involved by dabbling
in grain margins, being doubtless attracted to
the fascinating game by an extensive acquaint-
ance with Chicago operators. In 1874 he was
appointed assistant general freight agent Of the
