NOT DRUNK.


Mr.. Danielson, the editor of the Proyi-
dence Jaurn0z, said to the reporter: Mr..
Conkling in his version of the affair says that
Gov. Sprague was probably drunk. This
assertion has been made several times here
in Providence and in some of the newspa-
pers Morris, the workman, when asked if
this was 80, said that it was not, and that
the governor was quite sober oil Friday
morning, and at the time, of the dispute
with Linck and Conkling az the house. Mr..
Clark said that he had an oppor-
tunity to note Mr.. Sprague's condition on
Friday morning, and he thought he was
quite sober. Mr.. Ellington, and Mr.. A. d.
Wood, proprietor and superintendent of the
cafe, thought Mr.. Sprague was sober,
hut dreadfully in earnest. All of these per-
sons admit that
MR.. sPRAGUE's HABITS
have not been careful, but that he was con-
spicuously steady on Friday. After the
trouble in the street he conversed with sew
eral persons, and is said to have been quiet,
making no allusion to tho matter and to
have been less irritable than usual. Those
who pretend to know say that he was always
kind and cour teous to his family and guests
at Canouchet; that he loves his children de-
votedly, and that the affection is reclprocated
fully with his son Willie, who remained with
him on Monday at his house.

A CaW on Mrs. SDra0ue.

A Times dispatch from Providence says:
Mrs. sprague is still in this city at the Mar
ragansett hotel. The Times correspondent
this morning went to her and requested that
she would permit statement to be made
with view of relieving the accounts of the
affair from their appearance of one sidedness.
She replied that she would wait to see what
the New York papers contained, and would
then say whether she desired to make q
statement. The newspapers came at noon,

however, to say anything whatever. There
were rumors about that

proceedings for separation. The rumors
appear to be entirely unfounded. Certainly
no service of papers has been made upon Mrs.

Old Kentucky has lOug been noted
for big meh, with big hearts, but
