with Carmack, but he also disagrees
with US, and we are thus even aud
on good terms.-Chattanooga Times.

KATE CHASE SPRAGUE.
Death of a Brilliant, Beautiful, FascInat-

Death of a Brilliant, Beautiful, FascInat-
ing Woman.
Nashville American: The death
of Kate Chase Sprague at her home in
the suburbs of Washington the other
day has revived a. 6ood OF reminis.
cences Of this woman, who, brilliant,
beautiful and fascinating, was a
partner TO many varying emotions,
moods and conditions of life. The
daughter of Salmon p. Chase, she
became when mere girl the mis-
tress Of her fathers home and began
social and political career which
has had no parallel in the history Of
the country. Judge Chase had been
United States Senator one term and
Governor of Ohio two terms when he
was elected a second time to the Sem
ate and in 1860 again moved to
| Washington, shortly to be made
Secretary of the Treasury in Presi
dent Lincoln's Cabinet and then
Chief Justice of the United States.
1t was in Washington that his
gifted daughter held court, ruling
men by her magnetism, her wit, her
qualities of mind and person. Her
home was a political and social cen
ter and from it went forth plans to
make the father, whom she adored
with an appreciative daughters AT.
lection, President of the United
States. Then came her marriage to
Rhode Islands young and wealthy
Governor, William Sprague, when it
seemed that the fates had combined
to make her life one of rare hap
piness and pleasure. Then came the
disillusIonnent; her marriage was
unhappy; then the affair with the
gallant COnkling, whom Sprague
threatened to shoot; the loss of her
fortune, the falling away of old
friends, the calumny attached to her
fair name-false calumny, maybe,
and her voluntary exile at Edge
wood, her fathers old home. This
she only secured after hard legal
struggle, and it Is said few of her
fathers old friends in New York
granted her an annuity of $4,000 per
year to live upon.
Few women have figured more
conspicuously in the history of the
national capital than the brilliant
but unfortunate Kate Chase Sprague.
Dolly Madison, who escaped from
Washington as the British entered

the father of his country, which she

The charming Miss Harriet Lame,
who caught the eye of the young

Lieutenant Lnns,s Case.

The verdict of the court martial in the
case of Lieutenant Lang has been trans
mitted from General Merritt, commander
of the Department of the East, TO the
Judge Advocate General of the Army The
verdict and papers must be sent to the
President for approval before the finding
of the court may be officially known.
Lieutenant Lang has moved his effects
from the Washington Barracks and this
is taken to indicate that he has in view
suspension from the service. The articles
of war provide only one thing for the pun
ishment of an officer against whom the
charge of conduct unbecoming gentleman
is proved. That punishment is dismissal
from the service but the President may,
in the face Of extenuating circumstances,
modify a verdict. A statement made by
the lieutenant Just before the court ad-
journed is believed to have made a favor

DEATH BY ACCIDENT.
Result of the Coroner's Investign-
tfOn of the Lyons Child.

At the Coroner's inquest held yesterday
morning at the Sixth precinct stationhouse
to enquire into the circumstances sur
rounding the death of the three-days- old
infant of Mrs. Fannie Lyons. at the Ho-
meopathic Hospital. on March 3 the jury
after hearing the evidence returned YER
dict of accidental death. The inquest has
been delayed because of the physical con-
dition of Mrs. Lyons, who has been con-
fined to the hospital under police surveil-
lance. When she appeared at the inquest
yesterday she showed plainly the effects of
the physical and mental strain she had
undergone.
The story OF the death of the infant of
Mrs. Lyons is an unusual one The woman
became mother on the 2Sth of February
while confined at the Homeopathic Hos
pital. The child was cared for by nurse
and was given to the mother three days
later because of her earnest entreaties to
be allowed TO have 1t. The child was given
to the mother at a few minutes after ii
o'clock at night. At 1850 O'Clock, when
the nurse appeared TO remove the child
from the bed of its mother it was dead.
1t was supposed at the time that the mo-
ther had suffocated the infant.
