EX-GOv. VIM. SPRAGUE CONTRA
DICTED.-It will be remembered that
when ex. Gov. Sprague was married in
this place to Mrs. Calvert, on the 18th
of March, he stated, in reply to questions
propounded by Rev. Mr.. Hullihen, that
he was divorced from his wife, Mrs.
Kate Sprague-nee Chase-under the
following circumstances:
That be had charged herwith infdelity
to her marriage vows-that she had pre-
ferred similar charge against him, but
that she Withdrew her charge against
him, whilst be did not withdraw his
against her. AS he thus appeared to be
the innocent party, Rev. Mr.. Hullihen
consented to perform the marriage GER
emony. Mrs. Sprague's attorneys
Judge Hoadley, of Cincinnati, and Win
chester Britton, of Brooklyn, N. Y
contradict Sprague's statement, and
assert, in letter addressed to the YIN
dictator, that, in the divorce suit, he
withdrew his charges against Kate
Sprague at his own solicitation, on con-
dition that she would withdraw the
charge of adultery aud cruelty against
him, to which she agreed, and then the
divorce was granted on the mildef
ground of neglect to provide. The letter
accuses Sprague of violating the pledge
to surrender chattel property to Kate,
and concludes with these words: "There
has been so much of misrepresentation
of defenseless woman, not only in the
statement Of Gov. Sprague referred to,
but for years, that we feel called on as
her counsel to utter protest, and, in
view of all the facts, we have advised
her to resume her maiden name"

purpose was given Capt. Cridler, of the

he went to the Depot after dinner, when
telling him goodbye, he said: You
will never see me again." Upon his
return to town he went to McOrum's
Drug Store and bought two ounce
vial of laudanum, saying he wanted to
dress q blister. He Immediately went
to the office of the National Hotel, and
walking into the wash room swallowed
the fatal poison. Coming out he went
TO Mr. S. O. Campbell, and bidding him
good bye told him what he had done.
Physicians were Immediately summon
ed and every means at hand tried to
avert fatal consequences, but little
after midnight he died.
Such was the sad end of a young life.
Affable, polite, generous, he was great
favorite with all with whom he was
brought into contact.
