vestigatfon has proved the utter falsitY Of tie

ators, but they arose from the fact that Conk~
ling happened to DO Senator Sprague'4 guest st

and Prof. Link, Of New York, who
has been instructor In German and
other languages to his children. Senator
Sprague, tor some unsnown rcason. suspected
Link Of intimacy with his attractive wife, md,
after bitter quarrel, armed himself with 4
shotgun and ordered Link 10 leave the house.
Both Link and Senator spsague left the house,
the screams Of the lady guests attracting Senator
bis excited host Conkling and Spragus are on
the best nf terms 50 far as IS known, notTlth-
standing the fact that scanda!mopgers through
out the country have coupled the names OF een-

disreputable manner. Il Is we'll known that
when Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague occup,ed the
residence on the Btadensburg road, in Washing

legal difficulties BY reason Of nou-pavment OF
taxes on the estate Senator Conkling was en-
