Clarence Spraeue, IS, Killed Friday,
and His Cousin, Lewis spraeue, 10,
Who Was With Him, Made Raging
Crazy by the Accident.
Lewis Sprague of Readsboro, 10, be-
ing out of work, came over to visit
his uncle, Rev. Nehemiah Sprague.
AS he was intending to stay a few
DAYS he wished to do something to
help c. H. Waste owns the Fuller
woods north of S. Murdocks, and has
men cutting and hauling logs to the
mill of the North River Manufacture
Ing Company. Mr.. Waste had offered
Mr.. Sprague such wood as he was
mind to cut from the tops of the trees
left after cutting the logs. Lewis was
anxious to go up to the lot, about two
miles from the village, to cut some OF
the wood, and last Friday about 1890
a. M, taking with him Clarence e.
Sprague. his cousin, nearly 10, went up
to the lot.
About / p. M, as Mr.. Sprague was
eating his dinner, Lewis rushed into
the house and fell on Mr.. Spragues
chair. saying Poor Clarence and
then fainting. Water was thrown in
his face and he recovered enough to
say "Clarence is dead. A tree fell
on him and me, too" He then became
unconscious again. Teams were sent
at once to the woods and the body of
Clarence was found, with one leg
broken and the head crushed, the body
apparently having been removed from
under a tree which the boys had cut
down, instead of cutting from the
tops already down.
clarence was the only son of Rev.
and Mrs Nehemiah Sprague and the
blow to them is a very severe one.
The funeral was held in the Methodist
church in Readsboro Sunday, Rev. Mr..
Putnam officiating. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sprague were so nearly Frustrated
they were unable to return home un-
til Tuesday evening.
Lewis remained in a quiet, apparent
" Unconscious state several hours,
when he became raging crazy, calling
on clarence to run, and bemoaning the
fact that they cut a tree instead OF
cutting the tops, as ordered. Two or
three men were required to keep him
on the bed until Sunday, when he
seemed to be more quiet, called for
his brother and told him that they cut
a tree, and as the tree was falling ne
called to Clarence to run, which he did
until detached limb struck Clarence
and broke his leg, and he picked him
up and ran with him until the tree
limbs crushed them both to the earth,
breaking the skull of Clarence. He
got the body of Clarence out, holding
Il in his arms, watching the last eX-
piring Quivers on the face of the dying
boy. He then laid the body down in
the snow and ran with all his might
to the village.
While the body of the dead boy. and
his raving cousin, were in the same
house, it was a sad scene, and Satur-
day afternoon Lewis was moved to the
home of Byron Sprague, about one
mile from the village.
DR.. Gillett of Wilmington was in
the village at the time of the accident,
and kindly did what he could for the
Young man, who, up to Wednesday
had been unable to raise his eyelids,
and fears are entertained that he may
neger fully recover.

ROW IN THE HOUSE.
Lentz of ohio Charged Speaker Hen
derson With Withholding Speech
from the Public Printer.


derson With Withholding Speech
from the Public Printer.
The House was the scene of a sen
sational incident late Tuesday after
noon, which threw the body into a vio-
lent state of excitement. For an hour
the storm ragged, ending abruptly when
an adjournment was taken on motion
of Mr.. Payne, the floor leader of the
majority. Mr. Lentz, an Ohio Demo.
crat, who has created many sensations,
stirred the Democrats to fever pitch
by rising to a question of privilege, and
alleging mat a speech he had turned
over to the public printer under gener-
al leave to print had been withheld
from the Record and turned over to
Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, by the Speak,
er. 1t was learned that the speech
was an attack on Senator Hanna and
the methods by which he was elected
to the Senate. The Speaker explain
ed that it had been represented to him
that the speech violated the privileges
of the House, and he had dir cted that
it be withheld until h. could look it
over. Pressure of business had pre-
vented him from doing so. however,
and only 20 minutes before he had di-
rected that the speech go into the
Record, believeing that if it contained
anything offensive it could be stricken
out by the House later.
Intense excitement followed. Sever
al points of order were made by Repub-
Leans, but the Speaker declined to
sidetrack the matter in that way, hold
ing, however, that to proceed PROPOSE
ton of some kind must be before the
House. Thereupon Mr.. Richardson,
the Democratic leader, offered a reso-
luton declaring that the Speaker had
no right to withhold speeches. Against
this the question of consideration was
raised by Mr.. Lacey and by a strict
party vote the House decided not to
consider it. Amid still greater eX-
element and confusion Mr.. Richardson
offered another resolution condemning
the Speakers action. and directing
that the speech be delivered forth
with" to the public printer. Again
Mr. Lacey raised the question of con
sideration. and again by strict party
vote the House refused to consider II.
At this point further proceedings were
cut off by an adjournment, taken on
motion of Mr. Payne and sustained by
a strict party vote.
