THE SPRAGUES DIVORCE.
Final Scenes of the Proceedings In a
Famous Suit.

Providence dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer
Before the counsel In the Sprague divorce
case got to work to-day there was a half
hours consultation In the jury room. Gov
ernor Sprague was accompanied by Willie,
who has grown to be quite a man, and is
the exact likeness of his father.
Mr.. Britton announced that Mr.. Sprague's
counsel were ready to proceed. Mr.. Clarke
said that he was instructed on behalf of
Governor Sprague to withdraw the latter's
cross-bill for a divorce. Judge Potter at
once entered upon the records the with
drawal of the petition. When this had
been done Mr.. Britton said:
"ln harmony with the suggestions made
by the court, we so ask to amend so as to
strike out and expunge from the original
petition filed by Mrs. Sprague all accusa-
tIcns of criminaliiy contained therein"
Judge Hoadly, at the suggestion of the
court, took pen and carefully struck out
all of the sensational and scandalous mat
ter in the bill. Then the formal proof of
the marriage, desertion and non support
was put in. Mr.. Britton submitted the
marriage certificate, which was dated at
Providence, November IL, 1863, and signed
by the Right Rev. Thos. M. Clark, D. D.,
Bishop of the Diocese of Rhode Island. To
conform to the requirements of the law,
two witnesses were sworn and gave evidence
bnab Gne OOVerDOr naQ 0eSerteQ ana failed 10
provide tor the support of his wife. There
was no cross-examination of these wit
nesses, no evidence was submitted by the
defense, and Mr.. Britton rested his case.
Judge HoadlV informed the court that the
Governor wished to retain his son, and Mrs.
Sprague the three daughters, and said that
the wife would like to have the option of
resuming her maiden name. Judge Potter
said that in matters of this kind he always
hesitated, especially when there were chill
dren. Judge Hoadly added that perhaps
Mrs. Sprsgue might not desire to resume
her maiden name. AS matter of fact, he
had not talked with her on that subject.
She did, however, desire to reserve the right
to apply for alimony, until Gov. Sprague
had got out of his present financial diff
Guilty. To this the court assented, took the
papers in the case, and viii enter a formal
decree in a day or two.
After the Governor, his counsel and his
wife's attorneys had signed the articles of
agreement-the nature of which was kept
private, but which no doubt arrange for the
removal of the personal effects of Mrs.
Sprague and her children from Narragan-
sett Pier-the Governor and his boy set
out for Canonchet, in whose halls the foot
steps of his wife will never be heard again.
