Gov. sprague's Views.

New YORK, April 3.-Ex-Gov.
Sprague, of Rhode Island, speaking to-
day of the political situation in that
state, and of his own prospects for cleo
ton, said:
The contest is one in which the ques-
ton Of equal rights enters largely; in
fact, it is upon this issue that the whole
question turns. The equal rights peo-
pie have for many years sought is to
have an amendment doing away with
the property qualification. Promises
have been made year after year. but
the legislature has invariably refused
t. call convention for this purpose.
The people have now come 10 see
things In their true light, and are aware
that the only way TO obtain their rights
is to unite soiidly. The effect of the
nomination of a third candidate by the
staiwart democracy will be very small.
The movement is not general among
the democracy, and does not really
represent any party. The colored vote
of the state, anticipate, will be given
to me solid. Then believe that the
Germans are in my favor, and the
same may be said of the foreign ele-
ment. To them il has become queE-
ton whether few more men shall rule
the state and do all the thinking, or
whether the people shall rule and have
the right of suffrage extended.

A Bloody Tragedy.
ALL ABOUT BAD WOMAN .


ST.. LOUIS, April 3.--Just before two
O'Clock this morning, bloody tragedy
was enacted in the house of Mrs. The
resa Prettyman, 1,125 Pine street.
Albert or Bert Wing shot and killed
Joe Glenn, clerk in dry goods store,
in the presence of Essie Davis, a wo-
man of the town. Wing and the
woman came here a short time ago
from Greenville, KY, and Davis be-
came an inmate OF the house of
Matte Roberts here. She made
the acquaintance of Glenn. The latter
yesterday engaged a room at Mrs.
Prettyman's, and late in the evening
Glenn and Davis went there. Wing
had become jealous of Glenn, who d.
vided the woman's affection with him,
and went to the house and found them
together. He upbraided Glenn for his
treachery. and suddenly pulled a re-
volver and shot him twice In the head,
killing him almost instantly Wing
then rushed from the house but WAS
soon arrested. Davis and the woman
were also lodged in the Calaboose.
Wing claim. that the shooting
was in selfdefense; that Glenn
drew a revolver and that struggle for
its possession ensued. and that he Sc
cured i. and fired; but the woman says
Wing shot Glenn deliberately. The
real name of the woman was said to be
Mary E4ves. Albert Wing is the young
er brother of Hon. E. Rumsey Wing,
who was United States minister % Ecu
ador under Grants administration. Joe
Glenn was the son of q tobacconist
of Carrollton, KY, and Mary Eaves,
alias Davis, is daughter OF Judge
Eaves, OF that place. She is a Mrs.
Ringo. bu. has left her husband and 3
children. She now confirms the story
of the killing as told by Wing.

The Hanlan-Kennedy Race.

The race to take place May sc at the
Point of Pines, near Boston, between
Hanlan and Kennedy, will be one of
the most exciting and remarkable in
the history of American aquatics.
Kennedy, the man who has dared to
challenge the great champion, is a
comparatively new man is professional
sporting, as he has pulled hitherto only
in college and amateur contests. He
is graduate of the Sheffield Scieatifc
sckool at Yale, and was an exception
to the usual rule that college sport
ing man is poor student. Kennedy
was "dig" as well as an oarsman, and
when he graduated delivered a capital
thesis ON new rowlock invented and
patented by himself. This thesis he
illustrated by elaborate diagrams, giving
the finest and most scientific geometrl-
cal merits of his idea. He is magnifi-
cent specimen of physical manhood,
standing six feet Two in his bare feet,
and carrying ton of strength in his
broad, thick shoulders. Both Hanlan
and Kennedy are in Washington now.
Edward Hanlan is hard at work, and
during the past two days has been out
on Cne Tutumace, DoLh morning and
afternoon. He pulls twelve miles
daily, and walks the same distance.
He evidently feels that he has hard
job on his hands, and he is taking
more exercise than his competitor.
Since he began rowing, he has reduced
himself six pounds: and is again getting
into his old form. He left Toronto by
advice of his friends, because he could
ge. no rowing there, and went south.
His new boat has arrived from Canada,
and he is practicing in it. Kennedy
has not yet settled down to hard WORK,
for the reason that he has not received
his boats. He is waiting for them
anxiously, as ne does not like the idea
of Hanlan getting more exercise than
he. Davis, of Portland, Me-, will join
Kennedy in few weeks and will look
after him. Hanlan is strongly tempt
ed to 60 to Boston and finish his train
ing on the Charles river, but he has
been influenced by friends not to at
| tempt such thing, for the present at
least. The race with Kennedy is q
"play or pay" event, and Hanlan's
Canadian friends do not wish MIN to
take any unnecessary risk. II can
train myself and rig my onn boats, "
says Hanlan. He scouts the idea that
the race is not " for honor" and init
mates that all believers in Kennedy
who desire to back their belief with
money will be accommodated on race
day by Hanlan's Canadian friends.
