dead in his office on School street, Wednes-

For a number of years he had been an in

a large circle of friends. His ways were
pleasant, and he always enjoyed good health
He was twice a candidate for representative

THE SPRAGUE CASE.
A Second Hearing Given the Case at
Kingston.

PROVIDENCE, Nov. Is.
The case of the validity OF the title of
Zechariah Chaffee to the famous Cannonchat
estate of Ex-Gov. VIM. Sprague, under which
title the estate was sold at auction to Francis
d. Moulton, in August, 1882, was brought to
trial for the second time at the supreme court
in Kingston, today, and continued to tomor-
row. The testimony offered by the plaintiff
was mainly evidence of the trust deed of the
property under which Chaffee received it
from Sprague, with the deeds under which
the property originally came into Sprague's
possession. The defence set up that the title
was false one as far as the sale was con-
cerned, chiefly because the Cannonchat es-
tate could not have been sold unless the liza
blities of the A. & w. Sprague Co. was in
sufficient to meet the debts of the concern,
which it will be claimed it was able to do
The case was adjourned for the dsy before
the defence had an opportunity to present its
case. Fraud in the making of the deed will
also be claimed.

Ior like god! the beauty of the scorid! the
,aragon OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind! How infinite the scope
Of mans power if his faculties are
we'll preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
we contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence of dust when blasted bv
disease-his noble functions per-
verted or destroyed?
As call men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, SO likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is a conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
mpossibility, us long as people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
yiduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DR.. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, Ga recon-
mendation which does not obtain

and frequently called out her husbands name.
The second wife entered the room without
escort and took a seat o. the end of bench.
She took no notice of Freeman whatever.
Freeman hung his head most of the time and
looked penitent. When his case was called he
managed to get to his feet and make an
answer to question as to his guilt No one
understood what he said, and Recorder Dyer
vas obliged to ask three different times be
fore the reply could be understood. At length
he said in a low voice guilty. and then sank
heavily into his chair. Judge Gould bound
him over to the Superior Court in the sum of
$780, This occasioned new outburst on the
part of the first wife, and she retired weeping
from the room. She asked Marshal Andrews
to release John. II forgive him, poor boy,"
said she. 'I don't think he meant to do very
wrong. l want to take him home again to
