A Recent Sensation Brought to an
End by Death.
ACCUSED BY Her MCGHER-IN-LAV
Died at a Health Resort in Cali.
fornia.
THE NEWS RECEIVED HERE

News was received in this city today of
the death yesterday a Laurel, Cal, of
Mrs Beatrice Klingle Sbrlnglr. the only
daughter of The late Pierce klinSle of this
District, and for several years well known
and popular as a belle in select society.
Miss Klingle married scme years ago MIR.
Darling, the musical &C mposer and son of
Mrs Flora Adams Darling. The couple
lived apparently happily together. Some
time after the marriage Mr.. Darling
health began to fail and he became an in
valid. His wife's devotion and assiduous
attention were the subject of remark, both
in this city, where they spent some
months. and elsewhere.
The sick man did not improve, and
toward the end of his life Dr. Spranger of
Baltimore was employed as his attending
physician. Mr.. Darling died, and in a few
months the widow became the wife of DR..
Spranger. A series of serious charges were
then made against Dr. and Mrs. Spranger
by Mrs. Flora Adams Darling. who claimed
that they had conspired to murder her son
and had succeeded in poisoning him Let
ters alleged to have been written by Mr..
Darling while he was dying, in which he
also made similar charges, were published,
ana the district attorney of New York has
been engaged in examining the surround
ings of the case.
Mrs. Spranger denied all the terrible
charges. and none of her friends in this
city believed them. The enormity of the
allegations proved too much of a strain for
Mrs. Spranger, however. ard she succumbed
to nervous prostration.
Particulars of Her Death.
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 81 - Mrs
Spranger. who, with her second husband,
was accused of numbering her first hus-
band by slow poison, is dead at health
resort in Santa Cruz mountains, of dia-
betes. Mrs. Spranger was married to her
present husband, DR.. Spranger of Detroit,
Mich, one year ago. She had previously
been the wife of Edward Irving Darling, a
musician of some note, who died at Mount
Clements two years ago, and whose mother
charged the doctor and Mrs. Darling with
poisoning him.
NEW YORK, June c1-Assistant District
Attorney Battle. to whom was referred the
allegations OF Mrs. Flora Adams Darling
that the death of her son, Edward Irving
Daring two years ago. was caused by slow
poisoning at the hands of his wife and
Dr. Spfanger, who were subsequently, mar
ried. was asked today what effect the death
of Mrs. Spranger in California would have
upon the case.
Mr.. Battles reply was that he had made
an investigation and would soon report the
results to Acting District Attorney McIn-
tire, as District Attorney Fellows sails cor
Europe tomorrow
Il have taken affldavits from Mrs. Dar-
ing, from other relatives and from other
witnesses too. l cannot say who they are.
The case is too important. l have also had
the medicines analyZed. but l must not
even talk about the result. The fact that
Mrs. SpranSer Is dead does not alter the
case, excepting to remove her from it. The
charge Is still good until disposed Of
against DR.. Spranser."

TESTING TEAS.
An Interesting Method of Telling
Whose Samples Were Best.

An Interesting Method of Telling
Whose Samples Were Best.
In one Of the subterranean rooms of the
Interior Department, deep down below
the level of the concerns of this world
there was going on yesterday an operation
which would outclass o'clock tea or a
ladies' sewing society. Mr.. Roberts, the
New York expert has been testing the
samples of tea submitted by the merchants
who bid for the contract to furnish the
three tons of green tea and four tons of
black that will be required for the in
mates of st. Elizabeth Asylum during the
coming year.
The method employed is to have the
clerk of the board selected to pass on the
bids put samples of all the teas in little
colored glass jars, labeled with number
in a key, so that no one to whom they are
submitted may know just whose tea is
under consideration Then each sample is
examined in the hand and decided upon by
color size of the grains, odor. taste. and
other attributes, easily distinguishable to
the expert. After this a measured guam
tity of each tea by weight Is placed in a
little china cup, and freshly boiled water
poured upon l., and after it has stood five
minutes the faster proceeds to sip each
and set out those that do not come up to
the standard.
Mr.. Roberts had yesterday fifty-one SAM
Piles of green and forty-four Of black tea to
out about twenty in each class. Some of
them We're japan teas, some were of the
detested Ping Suey brand, which they say
are not fit for barbarians to drink, but
which are sold extensively for use in the
mines and lumber camps of the west.
Some were the cheapest sort of mixtures,
running as low in price as 10 or II cents,
and wholly unspeakable in quality.
The members of the board designated by
the Secretary of the Interior to pass upon
the bids, DR.. Godding, Mr.. William Fl. AM
Gerson Of the general land office, and Mr..
W. B. Acker of the Secretary's Office, were
present. and from time to time slipped the
different beverages set out by the expert.
upon the nerves of speech was observed,
and during the four or five hours required
to make the test a symposium on the gen.
eral subject of tea and kindred beverages
that cheer and stop there was contrib
uted to by all present.
The price of tea is about the same this
year In the bids that it was last year, as
the effect Of the war between China and
Japan has now ceased to be felt in the tea
market Had the bids been submitted six
months ago they would have been consid-
cents a pound last year ard the price will
hardly go above that this time.
By continual process Of eiiminati ton the
til there are but five left in competition: !:
then the prices annexed to the numbers
in the key are consulted and the lowest of
the five is selected as that which will be
taken, and the name of the bidder whenthe
number is looked up by the board is des-
ignated as the person to whom the con-
tract will be awarded.
Mr. Roberts is busy the year through
tasting tea Sometimes. he says, 1t uses
him up and once his nerves were SO shat
tered he had to rest up for three months
before his physician would permit him to
resume his occupation.

MANY DELEGATES DISAPPOINTED.
Do Not Like the Policy of silence on
Silver,


Special From Il Staff Correspondent.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. June 21-Thsre is
a great deal of dissatisfaction among the
delegates rom the east and the southern
states over the action of the committee on
resolutions in failing to bring in some kind
of platform or at least an address. There
have been loud murnuTs all the morning
prior to the assembling OF the convention,
and seme harsh talk has been heard. These
people hold that the members of this con-
vention have right to express an opinion.
and that at least they can announce their
allegiance to the financial policy OF the re-
publican party in the past. Many of The
grumblerS say they are ashamed to go
home with the record of having been afraid
to express their opinion.
These complaints are met. however. y
the compromises with the statement hat
the failure to bring on platform is not
back down, but merely compliance with
the constitution OF the lea que, which is all
the more praiseworthy from the fact that
adherence to the custom of departing from
the rule would bring trouble at this time
to the party.
This argument has the merit of logic,
but 1t does rot overcome the sentimental
feelings of those who wanted to live up to
the custom which has prevailed In the
league in the paste and does not silence
their complaints.
A Pittsburg newspaper circulated thou
sands of copies of an issue among the dele
gates this morning, with an exhor:atiou to
firmness in double-leaded editorial, In

THE danger of the republican party is

MIR. DRUMMOND's CLAIM.
He Wants $1,000 for the Arrest of
Can't, H0wSate.

capt. HOwSafe.
Attorney General Harmon had not been
fairly installed in Office when Mr.. Drum
mond, ex-chief of the secret service di-
vision, appeared before him with a claim
for the reward Of 81 600 offered by the gov
ernment for the apprehension of Howgate.
after the latter escaped from the custody
of the District marshal that officer offered
reward of 500 for his capture. The De-
partment of Justice also offered a reward
CT the same amount, and subsequently the
two rewards were consolidate ted into one re-
ward of ST. 900 offered by the Department of
Justice. This was in 1884, and it is to this
reward that Mr.. Drummond who captured
Howgate in New York last September,
makes claim.
The Attorney General submitted the case
to Assistant Attorney General Dodge for
an investigation as TO the Legal rights of
the claimant. He made his report just be-
fore Judge Harmon left for Cincinnati last
Sunday. Mr.. Dodge declines to tell the
nature of his report. but it is understood
that he takes the ground that the claim
is practically outlawed by the statute of
that Mr.. Drummonds proper remedy lies
in suit at law.
There are some peculiar things about this
case. Soon after the arrest of HoWgate,
Drummond denied that he acted because
of the reward. According TO one legal au-
thCrity this kills his claim, on the theory
that if he knew nothing of reward when
been that meeting of the mind which
would have entitled him to claim that the
arrest was made on the strength of re-
ward or other compensation.

today and removed from the three miles

had been planted yesterday. 1t had been
decided that the crews might better row on
open course from the start to the bridge
which marks the three-niile line. Below
the bridge line of buoys are placed.
The morning was cloudy and though the
temperature was not high the atmosphere
seemed oppressive. The water was good
during the morning, there being only easy
rippleS on it's surface.
Each railway train brought it's quota of
expectant spectators and the city by noon
was crowded with strangers.
The observation train which will be run
on the West Shore railroad alongside the
course was brought up from Kingston,
where it had been prepared. There are
thirty cars. The middle section fell to
Cornell and is decked in Cornell colors.

A Test Case May Grow Out OF the Bel
Annp-hrSiann Contested Election.
The contested election case of Belknap
agt. Mccain, from the third congressional
district of Illinois. is expected by the Of
ficials of the House to afford a test of
the election laws prescribing the time in
which contest testimony may be taken.
1t appears that the testimony in this case
is now being taken, whereas, according to
the law which has heretofore been recog-
nized as controlling in such matters. the
time when it could be properly taken ex-
pred more than month ago.
Ine question has never been tested. and
the course OF the House and of the clerk
viii be followed with considerable interest
CeSain of the Louisiana cases may pre-
sent a somewhat similar problem. In some
OF the districts in that state in which
there are contests there has been a delay
beyond that contemplated by the law in
taking testimony, but the delay was the
result of an understanding between the
parties at interest, postponemeht bair g
agl eed upon on account of the prevalence
of smallpox in some of the sections it was
necessary to visit in securing evidence.
So far as is known here there was no
agreement concerning the delay in the
Illinois case.

A LITTLE FURRY IN OIL

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 21.-The
amalgamation of the International Press
mems Union and the Typographical Union
has fallen through, principally because the
former union opposed to such a step.
This decision was reached at conference
held early this morning, between three rep
resentatives from the Pressmen's Union,
three from the Typographical Union and
three from the Brotherhood of Bookbind-
ers.
After amalgamation had been knocked in
the head, the representatives drew up a re-
port of sort of cooperative system, and
the convention will act upon the report
late this afternoon.
The report is in effect that whenever the
typos want to inaugurate a strike, they
can call the bookbinders and pressmen out,
providing that local unions give their con-
sent. But the expenses of the strike must
be borne by the union inauSurating 1t. The
same rule applies to all three unions.
