The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-08-22

Gov. Sprague has given an account of his
meeting with Senator Conlsling at Narragan.
set Pier, which is substantially as follows:
When he (Sprague) returned to the Pier from
visit to Maine and learned that Senator Conk.
ling was at his house he was angry be-
yond measure, and tho cause Of his
anger, he said; was the intimate re-
Iations between Senator Conkling and his
wife, which had long been highly obnoxious to
him. The existence OF these relations was no
secret TO him. He had seen the scandal grow
ing and becoming more and more public, and
he spoke bitterly of the conduct Of Senator
Conkling toward his wife at Washington. Bit
ter words had often been spoken between his
wife and himself because of that intimacy
She was fully aware how obnoxious to him was
that intimacy and what were his feelings to-
ward Senator Conkling. But in spite of
this, said Mr.. Sprague, in spite of all
feelings, that she should invite Senator Conk-
ling to be guest at his house during his alb
sence, and that Conkling should have the braz-
en- effrontery to come there at all, incensed
him beyond all measure. AS he expressed it,
Senator Conkling was trying to do for his home
in Rhode Island what he had already done for
his home in Washington and he had de-
termined to put an end to it at once and for
ever
With this deliberate intention he hurried
back to Canonchet as soon as he heard Conk-
ing was there.
He found Conkling in the house alone, and
ordered him out on the instant. Conklipg re-
fused to go. A few high words ensued, and
then he (Sprague) went up stairs to get his shot
gun He found that he had no percussion caps
for his weapon, and went off to the village to
get some. As soon as he could procure them he
hurried back and Conkling was still there. He
again ordered him to leave, and Conkliog refused
to go, and tried to molify Sprague and excuse
himself from leaving so suddenly, on the ground
that he bad no carriage for himself or his bag
gage, which was not even packed Thereupon
Mr.. Srague drew out his watch and told Conk-
ling that he would give him thirty seconds to
get out and that IL he was not out by that time
he (Mr. Sprague) would blow his brains out
Conkling Immediately left being driven to
Billington's cafe, at the tho Pier Sprague fol-
lowed him thither, and again accosted him, and
asked him abruptly If he was armed. Conkling,
Dristling up. replied that he was not; that il he
was he (Sprague) would not go on as he was
going. Without noticing this threat, Sprague
replied:
"Then go and arm yourself, and hereafter
go armed. don't intend to shoot an un-
armed man; but tell you now that If you
ever cross my path again will shoot you on
sight"
With that threat Gov. sprague jumped into
his carriage again and drove of.

Good Move.

The SENTINEL has frequently urged upon
the Miners Union the a~dvisability Of start
ing a library or reading oom in their hall
for the benefi Of members, and 1t gives US
pleasure to record the fact that it is about
10 be done. A start has already been
made. Superintendent Grihiths, OF the
Wales Con having contributed about 100
volumes Of different works. Any OF our
citizens who may have books, magazines,
etc, and who wish to devote them to a
good purpose, can leave them, with the
name Of the donor, with the sENTISLLs
local. or can send them TO the Hill. The
library of the Virginia Miners Union now
numbers LOO volumes, and there is no
reason why an excellent one should not be
collected on the Hill. An addition will be
made to the hall for the purpose of provid-
ing the additional room needed.
