ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-President-
elect Cleveland has had several callers at
MS temporary house on WiHett street to-
DAY, put none of national Importance.
Mr.. Hail, OF the Democratic Committee
from Iowa, and Horace Hurlbut, receiver
OF the Chicago Times, were among them.
Mr.. Hurlbuts mission is said to have
been to induce the President-elect,
through promise of patronage, to aid the
Democrats in breaking the Illinois Legis-
lative deadlock. II such was the object
of his visit it has probably been unsuc-
cessful. Mr.. Cleveland will probably
visit New York for two or three DAYS early
in February, but with that exception he
now expects to remain in Albany till he
leaves for Washington in March.

natural bridge, which has ever been the
natural wonder Of the State, and on which

once carved his name at the peril of his
life. Some days ago General Manager
AxtelI, of the Richmond and Allegheny

A CHIP OF THE BLOCK
Willie Sprague Marries His Fathers
Wires Sist r.

NARRAG ANsErr PIER, r. l., July 31.-When
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague daughter of the
late Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, secured
a divorce from her husband, Ex-Governor
William Sprague, she also secured the
custody OF her three youngest children
Ethel, Kate and Portia. Willie, the Oldest
child and only son, elected to remain with
his father.
Mrs. Sprague resumed her maiden name
and is now living at Fontainebleau, educat-
ing the three girls there. Ethel, the eldest,
and now IA years Of age is child OF re-
markable talent, has been carefully trained
under her mothers own eye, and has been
given all the benefit of that mothers un-
usual cultivation and personal acquaint-
ance with the best minds in this country
and in almost every capital OF Europe.
Within year or sixteen months after
the divorce Governor Sprague married
young woman from West Virginia, who
had been divorced from her husband, "a
commercial Traveller from Ohio. Her sister
accompanied her to 'CanOnchet," the once
beautiful country seat here, and the two
have been conspicuous figures at the Casino
and on the beach in summer.
Willie Sprague has been allowed to grow
up almost without attention. For several
summers after he left his mothers care he
roamed about the village, roughly clad in
winter and barefoooted and coatless in
summer. He was once seen with newsboys
selling the daily newspapers, and his shoot
ing escapade OF three or four years ago will
be remembered.
The announcement is now made that he
was married yesterday to Miss Avis Weed,
the sister of his fathers second wife. The
preparationsfor the marriage were kept
very quiet. The young couple, both OF
whom are under 21 years OF age, returned
here this morning and announced them
selves as man and wife. The Governor and
Mrs. Sprague are reported as content over
the match and the entire family are now
at Canonchet.

WILLIAMS, THE "EVIL Eye"
A Scranton Bride Starved and Then De-
serted.

SCRANTON Penn, August Miss Milie
Williams was until two months ago a happy
Scranton maiden, with a number OF ardent
admirers OF the opposite sex. She was
about Is years OF age, handsome and gen.
tie in disposition and always in the best OF
spirits Shortly before that time she met
Jonas Williams, a garrulous book agent,
who come here from Binghamton.
Williams paid all his attentions to the
pretty girl and her other suitors took a
back seat in short order. She was capti-
waited by his manners and his gift of speech,
and about two months ago they were mar
do better in Paterson. N. j., than any
where else, as he had number of infuen-
tial friends there who would get him lucra-
tive situation. So the young wife went
there with him few days after the we'd
ding.
Her relations here learned yesterday that
the young woman was living as a domes-
tic in ii Paterson family, she having been
deserted by Williams soon after their ar
rival there. They learned further that
Williams got all her money before he desert
ed her, and that he had wife living in
Binghamton.
Williams is tall, gaunt man, with a
hair-lip and singular halt in his gait sug-
gestive when he gets excited OF the blind
staggers. He has Il cast in his eye, too,and
curly crimson hair that bobs over his fore
head, and gives him the appearance of a
recently discharged lunatic.
How so pretty girl as Miss Mille could
have been captivated by such a strange
specimen OF humanity is a wonder to the
ladies of her acquaintance.
Once when the poor girl, who hadn't
eaten anything for twelve hours, stopped
before a Paterson bakery, and asked him
for the love of Heaven to get her one OF the
tempting rolls that were displayed in the
window, Williams said to her:
'Them amt rolls - them's poisoned
bricks. Come along!"
Poor Millie believed the wretch, and fol-
lowed him blindly until she fell in the street
from sheer exhaustion

TURTLES WITH TAILS OF FIRE.
How Cruel Sportsman Captures the
Gsmey Ground Hog

FALL RIVER, Mass, July 31.-J ohm Mack
erly has adopted a method OF catching
ground hogs which will probably draw the
attention OF the Society for the Preventa-
tion OF Cruelty to Animals to his case. He
catches a land turtle, which are numerous
in that locality. Through it's shell at the
tail end he bures a small hole. Taking a
ball OF candle wick he unwinds a foot or
so OF the wick and then fastens it SO no
more will unwind. Tying the end through
the hole in the turtles shell, he saturates
the ball with kerosene. Taking the turtle
to the mouth OF ground hogs hole he puts
it in and touches match to the saturated
candle wirk.
The heat from the burning ball starts
the turtle into the hole in hurry, and
keeps it going. The fiery procession alarms
the ground hog, and in a few seconds he
comes tearing out and falls an easy victim
to the hunter. When the turtle reaches the
limit OF the hole, being still prompted on
ward by the fire in his rear; he turns and
marches back again; and when he emerges
from the hole the burning ball is removed
and he is given a rest until wanted for the
chase another dav.
