A Famous Failure Recalled by DeclarR-
tion of the Last Dividend.

LBy Telegraph to the Evening JournaLl
Providence, r. l., Aug. 1.-The final
dividend on the Sprague estate has been
declared The Spragues (the a. & w.
Sprague Manufacturing Co.. and ex-sen-
ator Sprague, who was in Congress from
1868 to 1870 failed in 1878 for S14O0O,-
600 and were supposed to have property
worth $50, 600, OOO During the height
Of the prosperity of the family Senator
Sprague made his famous marriage to
the daughter of Secretary of the Treas
ury Salmon p. Chase. When the hard
times came in 1874 the Spragues sus-
pended payment on S14 200, 900 worth of
notes. A trust mortgage deed of the
property has for nineteen years been in
third hands.
They had paid 25 per cent on the
liabilities up to the final payment and
the payment now being made is
of 2 3-20 per cent, making 1920
per cent altogether. Thus the
total, valued at 500 000,0 600 in 1878, has
yielded but a little over S., 000,O 600, when
it was supposed to be good for all debts
against it,
Ex-senator Sprague has now left only
the Canonchet estate, but that property
is valued at $3.50, 600 to $780, 600, and
the family has begun TO sell it TO escape
land poverty. This estate was once sold
to Moulton, the mutual friend in the
Beecher Tilton case, but after sharp
fighting Mr.. Sprague saved it.
