MURDERED WHILE COMING FROM


Mrs. Harriet L. Sprague was young
widow living in one of the out districts in
CheTyield, Maine. For some time she had
received the attentions of Chester S. Cum
ningham. Lately she had been visited by
j. K, Wiley, of whom Cunningham become
jealous. Cunningham saw her on the way
to an evening meeting, at the village, and
swore that if Wiley waited upon her home
he would kill her. After the meeting Will
ley offered his arm to Mrs. Sprague, and they
had walked some eight rods, when Cunning
ham rushed up behind them, drew her head
back with his left hand, reached over her
shoulder with his right, cut her throat by
one stroke of his knife and turned and fed.
Mrs. Sprague lived only ten minutes. Cum
ningham was arrested.

Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-05-12

The position of our friend, the edi-
tor of the Nashville American, re-
minds US of story. In the days of
wore, when militia musters were in
vogue, a gentleman who attended
one of them imbibed to freely of old
fashioned apple jack and went home
late in the evening in a hilarious
condition. He was anxious to conceal
his weakness from his worthy spouse
and insisted on retiring to bed at an
early hour. He disrobed himself,
and standing by his bedside, was
noticed making motions as if prepar-
ing to jump. Attracted by his sings
ular behavior, his good wife asked
Husband, what are you doing ?"
Watching for an opportunity" he
said, ''to jump in when the bed comes
around"
Tue editor Of the American has
been in this attitude for many years.
He has been watching the political
bed, standing in attitude to Jump, as
it, in his imagination, revolves around,
but he always jumps too early or too
late, and falls before or behind the
object of his ambition. His best
jump was a long way in the rear,
and he has not recovered himself.

statesman, and our share in the gen.
eral grief that has been occasioned
by his untimely death; therefore
Resolved, LIST, that, while humbly
submitting to the unfathomable dis
pensation of Divine Providence, we
recognize in the death of Horace
Maynard most grievous loss; loss
irreparable to his family and per-
sonal friends; loss to society, to
whose welfare he was ever most
deeply interested; loss to the
church, whose badge he wore and
honored by his daily life; loss to
the cause of education and learning,
to which he was life-long devotee,
and which, in it's higher and better
aspects, ever found in him a shining
illustration loss to the State and
the nation at large, in whose service
he was ever able and faithful, and to
whose council, in the notoriety of his
life, he brought the aid of his own.
His public career, embracing TWEEN
ty>fve years of official life and COW
ering a period the most prolific in
our history of changes of peculation,
scandal and disgrace, bears unkroken
testimony to his rigid personal in
tegrity, and present an example that
deserves to be commended to the
youth of the country for honorable
emulation.
Resolved End, That the Secretary
of this meeting cause copy of this
tribute to be furnished to the widow
and family of the lamented deceased,
and to the papers of Nashville and
Knoxville for publication.
Mr.. Fleming, Hon. FL. 81. Harrison,
ex>Gov. Neil s. Brown, Judge Frank
T. Reid, Rev. Daniel Watkins, color
ed, N. 7. Dulauey and other, made
brief remarks.
Ex-Governor Brown in his re-
marks said Horace Maynard came to
Knoxville a penniless boy. He had
heard an East Tennesseean say the
other day that he knew Maynard
when young man, and had known
him to walk sixteen miles to court,
having no horse to ride. Mr.. May,
nard was gifted man, yet he is
gone. His death is a loss to the
public, no matter what party he be-
| longed to. He cherished his mem
DRY. He was a part of the honor
and integrity of Tennessee. Mr..
Maynard is dead. His death was a
public calamity.
Judge Frank Reid said, as one
who had served as private soldier
in the Confederate army, he desired
to drop wreath on the grave OF
Horace Maynard. He recognized
him as true, brave man-honest
pure, virtuous and sincere. He fell
an inexpressible sadness at the
thought that he would be seen or
earth no more.
After another song by the choil
the meeting adjourned.

Its vote in 1880 was 117,O7S. Louis
lana has 192, 932 illiterate voters. Its
vote in 1880 was lO7, POI. The COM
mittee thinks that the fact that not
one,half of those entitled to vote
did so does not detract from the
startling character of these figures.
Data furnished by Henry Randall
Waite, special agent of the Census
Bureau for collecting statistics OF
education, etc, show that the total
amount raised by taxation in 1850
for the support of schools in all the
States and Territories was S75,574,-
O4S. OF this amount only SO, 1885,
1875 was raised in the late slave
States. The amount of money per
capita of the entire population raised
in the Northern States and the Ter
ritories was 500. Had the South
ern States raised as large an amount
per capita it would have amounted
to S3S,692, 292, or more than four
times the amount which they did
raise. The committee urge strongly
the danger of the vast illiteracY in
the South, and the need for helping
the Southern people to deal with it.
