The sprague divorce Suit.

PROVIDENCE, Feb. 21.-The Sprague di-
vorce case was resumed in the Superior
Court at Kingston to-day. Counsel for Gov
ernor Sprague withdrew the petition for di-
vorce, and counsel for Mrs. Sprague struck
out the charge relating to adultery, &c. Two
witnesses testified to simple non-support as a
matter of formaIity. Judge Hoadley an
nounced that it was arranged that Mr2
Sprague should retain control of the boy
Willie, and Mrs. Sprague of the three girls.
He also wanted it made optional for Mrs.
Sprague to resume her maiden name, but the
court objected on account of the children.
The matter was allowed to lie over, and Mrs.
Sprague's right to apply for alimony was re-
served, it being stated that Mrs. Sprague did
not desire to apply till Mr.. Sprague had got
out of his financial difficulties. After the
signing of several papers by Sprague and
counsel, the amicably arranged settlement
was completed and the court is to enter de-
cree in a few days granting the divorce.

THE STORM.

Bad Weather in New England
BOSTON, Feb. 21.-The storm here to-day
was the most tedious of the season. Early in
the afternoon the snow changed to hail and
sleet and a heavy gale set in, blowing sleet
into the faces of those unfortunate enough to
be compelled to be out like grape shot the
streets were almost entirely deserted in the
evening. One foot of snow is reported all
over Vermont. but the railroads are not seri-
ously impeded. At Plymouth it has showed
all day and is drifting badly tonight The
evening train is stuck in the snowdrift. In
New Hampshire six inches had fallen up to 6
o'clock and it was still showing hard

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 81. The absolute amount
of damage here directly caused by the flood
is very great, especially in North st. Louis
on the levee, where shippers were taken I'M
awares But the greatest loss will be in the
obstruction of business occasioned by the in
terruption of railroad traffic. The river is
about stationary, and there are no prospects
of a further flood. On the railroads travel
is almost at at a standstill. The Wabash
Western branch is blocked by large land
slide nine miles from this city, and at st.
Charles by the washing away of the ferries
by rise of eight feet in the Missouri river
temporary scaifolding used in erecting the
new wooden spars of the bridge was also
swept away. The track between st. Charles
and St. Peters is entirely submerged. Over
three hundred men were kept busy all day in
removing earth from the track at Huntly
Heights, without avail, however, as the soft
clay slid down on them faster than it could
be removed, and this plan was abandoned
Later a construction train in attempt
ing to force its way through became
half buried beneath the falling banks from
each side. On the Southern Pacific road the
rains have washed the earth down on the
tracks at several points between Grey's Sum
NIT and New Haven to depth of three to

the road are greatly swollen. The Keokuk

Der of points and the tracks are absolutely
impossible The Iron Mountain road suf-
fered at q great number of points. Near
Belmont there is an immense landslide
over two hundred feet long and eight
feet deep. Another occurred at Cliff Cave,
sixteen miles from this city. Great disap-
pointment was occasioned last night and this
morning to travellers, who found only three
or four trains were going out. The Vandalia
and Illinois Central express train was run out
with the Ohio and Mississippi train to Oden.
The Cairo Short Line and San Francisco were
the only other roads that sent trains out and
the only train arriving was the San Francis.
co. This morning the only trains out were
the Chicago and Alton, vandalia, Ohio and
Mississippi, Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific
and San Francisco Line. There were no ar.
| rivals up to o'clock. All the trains on the
indianapolis and st. Louis road have beer
abandoned indefinitely; also on the Keokub
