Four Persons Burned to Death.

A New York dispatch says @the burning Of
gained tragic interest from the discovery of the
charred and blackened remains of four bodies.
The victims are JW Pierce, the manager of the
hotel; William Schubardt, night Waterman Kate
Rafer, cook: and kitchen girl known as Lou
Use. A maid and two children are reported
missing, and the search for remains will be
continued as rapidly as possible
The fire was one Of the swiftest known, the
entire structure falling into ashes in twenty
minutes. A lady and gentleman sitting on the
piazza barely had time to enter a room close at
hand and rescue their sleeping children before
the walls fell in. The structure was of the
very lightest construction, and filed with sea-
soned pine
The view of the fire from the adjoining neigh
borhood was grand. 1t burned with a clear,
white flame that looked like large gas jet, and
gave out q bright and intense light
The suddenness of the fire was startling. Per-
sons sitting on the porch of a house at Bath
noticed what appeared to be a ball of fire shoot
out into the bay, and five minutes later the en-
tire hotel was in flames. The light dimmed
even the brightness of the electric light on
Coney island, and vast clouds of smoke arose
in the air and drifted seward. Had the wind
been in different direction, there is no doubt
the flames would have destroyed many houses
along the shore, as they are built close together
and Bath is thickly settled
The guests were ali well-to-do, and had
much jeweIry and money with them. A Cuban
guest is said to have lost $4,000, and a New

rooms

Haverly has therefore declined to trade off
ssbird in the hand,' and retains this popular
play for still another week. The audiences
have been frst-cass throughout the run, and
it was doubtless wise course to pursue. No

from the entire stock talent of the country than
is here shown in Mr.. Palmer's troupe, there
fore the success is richly earned.
For the forty eight hours ending on
the evening of Aug. IL there were fifteen deaths
from yellow fever in Memphis, and eighty-one
new cases were reported to the Board of
Health in the same period. Many dis
tressing incidents of the plague
are mentioned. One man had two
children sick, one of whom died and was taken
to the cemetery. On his return he found the
other also dead, having had the black vomit
during his absence. A family of eight persons
was discovered by the Towards in a house in
the suburbs, without any bedding. The father
and one child were already dead, and the
mother and six children down with the
fever The details of the situation of
the family are horrible in the
extreme.-The fever has broken out at Corinth,
Miss, through which has passed large num-
bers of Memphis refugees, and all those who
could get away have left the stricken town.
The Mayor and President of the Board of
Health were the first to contract the disease.
The report that the yellow fever had
broken out at Corinth, Miss, was a canard of
the first water. There has not been case of
anything resembling Yellow Jack in the town.
There were forty-three new cases OF
yellow fever and fourteen deaths from the pest
at Memphis on the 18th nst., and on the 18th
the new cases reported numbered forty, and
the deaths thirteen. Nearly all the new
cases reported in these two days
were colored people. A dispatch from
Memphis says that CDR Jerome Cochrane's
plan of enforcing rigid isolation of the yellow
fever sick has been Endorsed by the City Board
of Health, and measures adopted to put it into
effect. Yellow flags will be placed conspicu-
ously on every house in which case is lying
sick, and unauthorized persons positively for
hidden admittance"
At Athens. Ca, woman in the pains
of parturition with twins got possession of a

There were nineteen deaths from vel
low fever and sixty new cases of the disease at
Memphis for the three days ending on the even
ing of Aug. II. The total deaths for the week
were forty-six, the total to that date, since the
outbreak of the plague, 139, and the total num-
Der of new cases 531. A dispatch from
Washington says that Comptroller Porter,
of the Treasury Department, says
that the National Board of Health
is of the opinion that contributions for the
support of the people Of Memphis in camp are
absolutely necessary to prevent the spread Of
the yellow fever into other States, and that
requisition upon the $500,00o appropriated by
Congress will be bonored."

Mr.. and Mrs. sprague-A Stormy Interview.
A dispatch from Narragansett Pier to the
Chicago Tribune says: Much excitement was
created here this afternoon by a meeting be-
tween Gov. Sprague and his wife. After leav-
ing the house, on the occasion of the first
trouble, it is asserted that Mrs Sprague said.
II will never sleep under the same roof with
Mr.. sprague again" To-day, Mrs sprague
by a friend, Miss Emma Fosdick, of
Stamford, CT, and Mr.. Thompson, q, lawyer,
partner Of Rowland Hassard Mr.. THOMPSON
drove down to Canonchet to get some clothing
for Mrs Sprague and her children, Mrs.
Sprague remaining meanwhile in the house of
Conductor Hale, near the station. Mr.. Thomp-
son was met at Canonchet by Gov. Sprague,
who, after some conversation, decided to re-
turn with the lawyer to Conductor Ha1e's
house There the husband and wife met in q
room, with Mr.. Thompson, Miss Fosdick, and
Mrs. Hale present.
A very stormy interview Of an hour followed
between Sprague and his wife Gov Sprague
began be dem anding the return of the three
little girls The Governor was laboring under
strong, but suppressed, excitement during the
entire interview. He accused Mrs Sprague
of poisoning the minds of his children against
him, and alternating the affections of
the boy, Willie, through the influence of the
German tutor, Lnck. Mrs Sprague,
in turn, accused the husband of general brutal
ity when under the influence of liquor, and of
circulating base and unfounded stories against
her character She said that on more than one
occasion she had been in peril of her life from
him. referring distinctly to one occasion when
he pointed loaded pistol at her, threatening
to shoot her. Gov. Sprague referred to Sena-
tor Conklings intimacy with Mrs. Sprague.
and she repealed any insinuation of
wrong doing on her part with great indig-
nation. At last Gov. Sprague said
aDo you intend to return to Canonchet?"
"I fear for my life if do" she replied.
!" / never harmed any one," was the Govern
ors answer, and you are safe"
After many demands on the part of Gov.
Sprague for the return of the children. and
firm refusals of Mrs Sprague, a consultation
was held with Mr.. Thompson and with another
lawyer, Mr.. Skinner, who had been summoned
from the Atlantic House, and it was decided
that the children should be surrendered to
their father. He placed them in his carriage.
with their nurse, who had accompanied Mrs,
Sprague from Providence, and drove to Canon
Chef &
Mrs. Sprague was greatly agitated after the
departure of her children, and finally decided
that she would follow them to Canonchet. Ac-
cordinglv, after njghtfall, she was also driven
to the splendid mansion which she had left I'M
der such sad circumstances week before. and
within which SO many brilliant companies had
gathered IN the days when the husband and
wife were younger IN their married life.
