SELLING SPRAGUE'S ESTATE.

General Butler and the Hon. Benedict
Lapham called at Trustee Chaffee's house
late last Monday evening to consult with
MIN relative to the purchase of the Sprague
trust estate. They had, with General Pryor.
seen Chaffee on Saturday last, when YER
bal agreement was made, as the Spraques
say, whereby Mr.. Chaffee was to accept
cneck Tor SlOO, 900 as earnest money. and on
Monday was to transfer the property to the
creditors board of directors. On Monday
the agreement was placed in writing and
submitted to Mr.. Chaffee, who, after consult
Ing his attorneys, refused to accept the offer
OF settlement of thirty cents on the dollar.
Oen. Butler arrived at z p. m, and, learn
Ing OF the refusal, went to Chaffee's house
to see what had caused him to reconsider.
Mr.. Chaffee found fault with the terms oF
payment, desiring that the first cash paw
ment instead of being per cent. of the 30
cents on the dollar should be one. sixth of
the entire amount to be paid, or $45O, 900.
This change was accepted by Gen. Butler.
aud every other change suggested was
acceded to by him. Finally, seeing that
Mr.. Chaffee was not inclined to sell even
upon his own terms, although Gen. Butler
agreed to lay down a certified check
for 100000 to bind the creditors board.
the gentlemen were forced to retire
completely baffied in their attempt to
save the estate. This noon the first four
parcels OF the trust estate were sold at
auction by Mr.. Chsffee's directions. There
were four lots, with buildings and improve
ments, situated In the business centre Of
the city aud only a few steps from the
principal business streets. Land adjacent
was sold at auction last week for 81 so per
foot. Eight dollars per foot for the Sprague
lots would be low estimate, the auction

In face of this the four lots aggreeatinq
nearly 10000 square feet, sold for 81 as.

WASHINGTON, June 29.--Up to this fore
noon Guiteau was apparently unconcerned
about what was trsnspirlng around him.
He slept till about eight O'Clock, when he
took for breakfast pound of broiled steak,
With unlimited potatoes, bread and butter
and quart of coffee. Later in the day, as
his relatives and friends paid their farewell
visits, he occasionally gave way to little
excitement, but the only manifestation
OF emotion was when q bouquet
was brought him from his sister,
Mrs. Scoville. This weakening, however,
was very brief, He made will bequeath-
ing his body to Rev. DR.. Hicks, his spiritual
adviser, with the Injunction that It shall not
be devoted to any mercenary purpose. His
book is also left to DIR. Hicks. His counsel,
Charles Reed, drew the will. When taking
leave OF his sister he insisted upon kissing
her for The last time through the bars of
his cell, asking that 1t be so recorded.
Either Warden Crocker or Assistant War
den Rush was present. at all of these final
interviews. At times Guiteau would break
out In dsnuuciation of President Arthur for
his cowardice, aud of the warden and his
deputy, whom he accused of bounding him
to death.
Guiteau said he wished TO be hanged at
noon sharp, but Warden CrOcker has set the
hour at half past one. The gallows and
rope were tested last night with bag Of
sand weighing $50 pounds and stood the
test successfully.
Rev. DR.. Hicks, who will be the custo-
dian Of Guiteau's body, has telegraphed an
invitation to about twenty prominent physi-
clans to be present at the autopsy on Guiteau
tomorrow after the execution. Among the
physicians invited are Drs. Hammond,
Spitks and Mcdonald, of New York, and
Goddlng, Of Washington, who testified as
exp5its In the trial. The others are promi-
nent in their profession in various ways.
