A VJCTOnr AT LAST.
Before yesterday's game with the Buffalos
was begun President Uulbcrt confidentially In
formed tho reporters that ho had “put some
powder Into the boys,"--meaning thereby that
tlioru had been some kind of a consultation be
tween the While Stockings mid their manager.
Its exact nature has not been made public, but
the effect was simply wonderful, unit developed
Itself soon after tliu game was begun, Mon
batted then who never butted before, nnd as a
natural consequence Hie Buffalos were knocked
down and trampled on before tbo game was
half over. Anson being still unable to play,
bta place at first base was filled by Gore, and
tbe wav Hit* representative from Maine handled
himself was a caution to all oilier parties who
imagine themselves to bo first-basemen.
Ho grabbed with unfailing accuracy
everything that came bis way, and batted ns If
be never expected to get another crack at tbo
bull. Uetnscn, who played centre field, also
tore around considerably, catching four lly balls,
and lu the fifth liming making a double piny all
by bfmsolf. He also batted magnificently, to
the great astonishment of everybody. Quest
bad a batting streak fur the first time in three
months, making three safe bits.
Flint won the toss for Chicago, and tbo Buf
falos were quickly retired lu Hie first Inning, (be
White Stockings making ono tally off Walker's
muff and wild throw to third of Dalrymolo's bit
to Force, lie tallied on Williamson's two
baser to right. Clapp and Richardson reached
first for Buffalo lu this tuning, but on flor
nung’s fly, which Peters purposely dropped
and then threw to Williamson, n neat double
plav was effected, Richardson being forced out
ut first and Clapp at second. There acre no
more runs until the fourth Inning, when the
Whites earned two by the tallest kind of but
ting. Gore led off with a tbree-bascr to
the elnb-lmusc, and came In on Flint’s long
fiv to Racier. Quest then cracked a lino fly
over third fur two bases, tallying on Hcmscii’s
lilt to right-center, on which Hie striker reached
second. In the fifth Inning Hie Buffalos secured
their only run. McGunuiglo led off with a safe
bounder over second. Fulmer hit a slurp
grounder between first and second, which
Quest ran for mid allowed to get nway from
him. He recovered the bail, but threw it so
wildly to Gore that McOunnigle scored, Fulmer
going to third. He was put out nt home by
Gore to Flint, while trying to come la on force’s
steal to second, Davy .being caught between
first and second, ami escaping only because! Uie
(mil was needed by Flint to retire Fulmer.
Egglcr then sent.a high lly to centre-field which
Rcinsun ran hi for, taking the hall when It was
hut a few Inches Irom the ground. Force,
supposing the hit to bo a perfectly safe one,
started for third, and ns Reunion kept on run
ning he reached second before force could re
turn, thus accomplishing a double play. The
Whites hammered out two runs in this inning,
neither of them being earned. Williamson’s
high lly hctwcun first and second was muffed In
a most shocking maimer by Fulmer. Similar hit
safely to centre, and ns Egglcr let the hull get
hv him, and Richardson then muffed the throw
to third, Willlamsom scored. Gore was llycd
by Fulmer, uml Flint hv Clapp. Quest brought
hi Shaffer bv a nice fiv over third, and Hnnklu-
Bun ended the Inning by a foul fiv to Clapp.
Matters went along quietly from this point
until the olgch lulling, when the Chiengos broke
loose again and earned two runs. Quest’s high
fly was nicely taken by Crowley. (lanklnsun
ami Romseri niado base fids to centre field.
Oalrymplc’s long fly settled In Egglcr’s
hands, Hatiklnsuu going to third ou the
play. Remsen then stole second, and on
Voters’ two-baso hit over the right-field fonco
both ho and Hanklnson tallied. Peters was put
out while trying to reach third on a ball that
partly got away from Clapp. The Buffalos wore
whitewashed hi the ninth inning; but William
son tallied fur Chicago, going to second on a
hit Into the netting, tho tlilrd on a passed hall,
and homo on Crowley’s muff of Gore’s fiv to
loft. The outs were: Shaffer on a foul lly to
Richardson. Flint on a lly to Force, uud Quest
on a lly to Richardson.
In the subjoined score It wilt bo noticed Uiat
the Buffalos had ten men in iho game. This Is
duo to the tact that in the first Inning Walker’s
right thumb was badly split by a thrown ball,
and bo retired at tho enu of the second Inning,

The supplementary Aluicc season commenced

the role of Hie twin sonoritas, and, equally of

passed since she gave them her first impersona
tion,and, though Father Time works his ebauges
upon all of us,—Hie amuscr as well as Hie
amused,—our bouffu favorite of Hie past decade
bolds her own remarkably, and nothing can
be said In dispraise of her present per
formance. Mile. Delorme, both In form and
manner, typified admirably Hie strong-minded
consort of the Spanish grandee. Tho I‘edro of
Mile. Raphael is not up to some of her
other characterizations. Mile. Bcaudot
as Paqulta Is pleasant dramatically, hut weak
musically. Jutcau’s voice has fallen off some

gets along with it quite nicely, und, what Is a
very singular thing In connection with a tenor, he
to a good comic actor, Duplan retains to the full
his power of fun-manufucture,unil evoked much

a defense of hu character, In which she says:
"Uis death, thank God, wus a peaceful tine.
He died In the full belief of Christ, and prayed
to tils God for forglvneds, uml God heard nu

and content never was seen in dealt). His
sufferings were beyond belief for the last two

testimony of managers und actors who wore
bruugnt lo contact with him, as being more In
capacitated by disease than by drink.
It appears that King Louis of Bavaria, who is
a great patron of Hie drama, and has u comtany
and a theatre all to himself, Is also a stem
dramatic critic, and easily angered by but inac

cross over the remains of her husband. Hie
widow demanded an explanation, mid the other
introduced herself as Hose Evans, saying Hint
Llnsls bad loved her much more than bo did Ids

In which each accused Hie other of driving Llpsls
to take his own life. The widow asserted her
exclusive rlghfto decorate Hie grave, and Rose
did nut disnuto It, but withdrew after tri

NAmUOANSETTI’/KK, R. L, Aug. 18.—It was 1
not expected by the friends of ex-Gov. Hpraguo ]
that he would make a public reply lo Mrs.
Sprague's first statement, and Hie general feeling
at the Pier, Improvidence, and In Newport, was
Hint Mrs. Hpraguo would not seek to address
the public again, except under great provoca
tion. One of Mrs. Sprague’s friends, upon be
ing asked whether that lady had not been di
rectly insulted and grossly compromised many
months ago, when several Washington cor
respondents alluded to the uncommon rela
tion supposed to exist between her
and Senator Conkling, pretended that Mrs.
Snraguu was not aware of those reports. Ex-
Gov. Sprague says that he Is surprised at this,
as his wife is a habitual reader of very many
newspapers, and Is Interested In all newspaper
gossip, lie himself takes very few papers,
never reads them carefully, aud often passes a
week without reading a paper, lie has not
.looked at any of Hie public prints slnco the
scandal, but ho was prepared fur Mrs.
Sprague’s additional statement, and can
not cfTccluallv object to her making as
many more as she likes. Ho declines to
contradict his wife’s public utterances and
deprecates her action. As one of his must Inti
mate and faithful friends puts it, ho docs two
things, "he holds the fort and keeps quiet,"
hut ho Is of (ho opinion that Mrs. Hprngac’s
main endeavor Is to shield Senator Conkling,
mid, in Mr. Sprague’s opinion, the Senator needs
shielding Indued. The ex-Qovernur Is not Im
pressed by Mrs. Sprague’s statement that Sen
ator Conkling came to Canunehet to Influence
or share any policy In regard to the man
agement of the bankrupt estate, with which
the cx-Governor has nothing whatever
to do. Practically, the whole Sprague property
Is in Hie hands and under the control of the
Trustee, Mr. Zacharlah Chafeo. Air. Chafee’s
position may mid may not ho tenable In law, hut
until this Is decided In a court of lastrcsort, Mr.
Cliafee considers hfsaulhoritvcuinplete. Hence,
Mr. Amii&a Sprague, the cx-Uuvernor’s brother,
Is treated by Mr. Chafeo as one of his employes,
who gets paid in proportion to the value of bis
work, lie docs not receive a stated salary, but
carus his living as a gentleman In the Sprague
ofllee. it is said that the ox-Goveruor
has not received a penny from Mr. Chafeo or
Hie estate for over six months, fur the reason
that he lion done no work. It Is doubtful
whether Mr. Chafeo would give him any posi
tion. The Trustee does not consider Hie ex-
Governor a steady workman, and, unless he
made an unqualified apology, he would nut be
granted admission to Mr. Clmfce's ullicc. The
Trustee Is uot Interested lu Mrs. Hnrague or
her worldly fortunes. Like oil the hard
headed and cool-hcurtod business men of
Providence, ho deems her extremely ex
travagant, and, as one ot the Sprague
creditors says, ncltlicrjlhe males nor Hie females
of the Hpraguc concern were deoiled to Mr.
Cliafee. The latter has no objection to the cx-
Govornor occupying Canunehet,,wlth or without
his wife, but ho objects to Mrs. Sprague being
In charge, or being Hie re alone. Nor does he
allow the ox-Goveruor to sell anything belong
ing to the estate—not even a basket of fruit
or a load of hay. Should the ex-Oover
nor undertake to do anything of Hie kind,
both bo and his family would be removed
from. Canonebet, and limit relations with
the Sprague estate would terminate until the
day of final settlement, when they would re
ceive the portion which might be due them.
This statement, which Is authoritative, disposes
of .Mrs. Sprague’s story that Senator Conkling
visited Catiouchct to help to solve legal or ex
ecutlyc questions connected with that or any
property formerly or now held hv the Sprague
family. Ex-Uuv. Sprague coincides iu this
view. Practically he has nothing to do with
the estate uow, and it Is not certain that lie will
lu Hie future. Ho is living at Canonebet on
sufferance.
The plan suggested by the Providence paper,
apparently ou Hie recommendoHou of some of
the Sprague creditors, Uiat the cx-Governor
should ho ejected from Canonebet, aud Hmt
Mrs. Sprague should bo placed lu charge. Is nut
entertained by Mr. Cliafee. and is warmly op
posed by the principal creditors, with one nota
ble exception. This exception Is Mr. Nelson W.
Aldrich, member ot Congress for this district,
Hie gentleman who sent for Herr Linek after
Hie explosion of Friday, the Bth Inst. Mr.
Aldrich Is at Newport to-day, aud beyond
reach. He Is not among Hie largo
creditors, but ho is on the Creditors'
Committee, who propose todUplacc Mr. Chofee.
Mr. Aldrich Is Intimate with Mr. Q. W. Daniel
son, who Is the managing editor of Senator
Anthony’s paper, lu this way Mr. Aldrich was
probably ted to help lu shielding Senator Conk
ling. Ills connection with the action of Senator
Conkllng’s friends was certainly accidental. Mr.
Aldrich Is a young man, quite frank and gener
ous, very anxious to make his marie, but uot Hie
peer of either Senator Anthony or Senator
Conkling. They seem to have used both Mr.
Aldrich and Mr. Danielson as they thought
best, and the latter arc reported to no heartily
disgusted with the whole affair and their con
nection with it,
Thu relations between Mr. and Mrs. William
Sprague do not belong properly in Hie public
journals, unless they carry them there them
selves. This has been done deliberately by Mrs.
Sprague. Fur the present, the ex-Governuraud
bis spirited wife are at peace, and It ts nut im
probable that they will become reconciled to
each oilier, os they have on many previous occa
sions. The cx-Govcruor is erratic, irregular, and
not capable of funning a great policy and car
rying It out. Ills enemies charge him with
being careless In bis statements, and both he
and his family admit Uiat he lias used hU wife
ou several occasions lu on unbecoming manner,
Mrs. Sprague, ou the other hand, is known to
have provoked Hie ex-Uovuruur lu many ways
eo os to drive him away from Hie table or out of
the house. This U tho stulemont of Mr.
Sprague’s own mother, agreully-respuetedlady,
who lives in Vruvldencc. The relatives of the
ex-Governor declare that ho and fifs wife will
be on goon terms again, unless Mrs. Sprague
prefers a different course. While at Frovldoncv
Hie ex-Governor ts known to have curried him
self with dignity and sobriety. He is always
irregular In his habits. He will fast for twelve
pours lu succession, and Uieu resort lo the bot
tle. This has been fits custom for Hie last
twenty years, mid helps to explain his painfully
sensitive temper. HU commercial and political
iKisltUm Is utterly gone. Ho has tiu social am
bition, and rather dislikes polite society.
Senator Conkling’* presence at Cauauchot has
nut beeu accounted for, and tie is known to have
waited at Newport until It was curtain the ox-
Governor was absent. Then he went to Cauuu
cboU He was received ut the landing by Mrs.
Bpraguo, and how he Installed himself at
Cunouchot Is testified to by tho German teacher,
by the children, and by tho servants. Ex-Uuv.
Sprague bus shown by his actions how ho view
ed this Intrusion. The opponents of Senator
Conkling do uot chargo him with criminality,
hut with ungentlemauly conduct, impu
dence, and cowardice. Kx-Qov. Sprague
dues uot consider tho affair end
ed. lie thinks himself outraged by
1 the Senator and demands satisfaction. It Is
freely stated among responsible people that
Senator Conkling has compromised Mrs.
Sprague's honor, uot criminally, but socially,
, and Uiat ho ought to restore her good name
t and fame. A statement Is therefore expected
1 from (Senator Cameling, and It Is hoped that he
i will restore to Mrs. Sprague what bo has taken
; from her,—her domestic peace and her good
; name as a wifo who may bavo been wronged by
I her husband, but who has remained faithful to
> her vows.

Hi.ocic Island, Abg. 15. . . . Rato
Chase was not a pretty girl. She bade fair to
be a handsome woman, which she Is. Hut twen
ty years ago she waa tall, gangling, pale-faced,
with fine, expressive eyes, and a serpentine
movement, not unlike thatof Modieska, though,
of course, less graceful. It la not true
that she has always been vicious. It Is
not true that she duped a rich fool into a
one-sided marriage. It Is true, and only true,
that, In a single aftalr at Columbus, she caused
her father Infinite anxiety and trouble, and that,
during the last two or three years, her connec
tion with Mr. Conkllng has been the occasion of
a deal of uglr talk at Washington. She Is am
bitious, reckless, loud of admiration, and used
to it; a power in her day, and not willing, with
the close of it, to sink into obscurity.
I make bold to give it as my opinion that Uiere
have never been any criminal relations between
her and Mr. Conkllng, although Mr. Conkltng,
out of a base, overweening love of himself,
would rather have it appear so than confess
himself so great a fool os to have gone such
lengths, and wrought such ruin, and got
nothing more than a mouthful of kisics.
I know that this new of the case Is exposed to
somo ridicule. The licentious spirit of tho
time can see nothing bub Its owu image behind
the curtain that conceals Die presence of a mao
and a woman. “When In doubt,” says this
spirit, “call It adultery.” Yet nothing Is com
moner than Uic reverse, even where the proof
seems clearest.
In this particular business it is worth no one's
white to consider Gov. Sprague. Ho Is, and has
long been, a mere sot. All that bis wife says of
him Is within the mark. It Is perhaps true that
If ho had shot Conkllng dead, no Jury in .New
England could have been fauna to couvict him.
But as he did not, bo sinks oat of account ns a
poor creature, who ill-treated his wife and left
her pretty much to her own devices.
She is wliat she is,—an cx-bclle, a dethroned
queen; etill young, still food of pleasure; not
yet resigned to tho loss of position and pres
tige, and conscious of augmented charms.
Alone in a capital which has never been over
equcamish or very rigid In Its social limita
tions, Mr. Conkling comes her way. Mr.
Conkling, tho friend of her father, tho Jupi
ter Tonan* of her party: the most brilliant,
aud. aupaftntly, the most dashing among thu
political leaders of the day: an artist In scenic
effects, a professional. If not a professed, ladv
klller. She Is only a woman, after all, with a
woman's limited Knowledge and narrow sphere
of movement, und aho thinks aba aces In this
proffered intimacy a diversion from her do
mestic grief and a revival of at least a part of her
former self. One stop lends to another; Intima
cy ripens into familiarity; familiarity into indis
cretion; indiscretion Into reckless disregard ol
appearances and public opinion. All this may
happen, often has happened, without the literal
violation of thu commandment which women
are most taught to consider and respect. Nut
surely without a loss of delicacy; of real
modesty: of that pure ami priceless flower of
household love and honor which, worn Py the
matron, elevates her Into a divinity In the sight
of her husband and her husband’s
friends, but yet without tho vulgar
and vulgarizing physical contact which is never
long In showing Itself at the window and the
frontdoor, marking off thu guilty woman from
the rest in every look and Hue, action and ut
terance. Mrs. Sprague Is cold and discerning, a
woman of the world. She may have been Infat
uated by Mr. Conkllng’s showy talents. She
may have been enraptured by Mr.
Cotikling’s preference. But abo must
Imvo known that her power lay In re
sistance, In reserving something to her
self, in drawing the line somewhere. All
women, more or less, know that little, nud it Is
preposterous to believe that this self-poised,
aspiring woman—the mother of many children,
and with passions quite as lukewarm as belong
to her condition ami her class—would give her
self completely away, her hold upon her layer
Included, and in ail these years show no sign of
it in her manners and her aspect to the rest of
the world.
For my part, I don’t believe It. I believe ber
to bo a vain, und to bavc always been a daring,
imprudent woman, not a wanton,und 1 must say
that the provocation she lias hud from her hus
band, und the course which Mr.. Conkling bas
pursued, together with Uic wretched plight in
which I know her now to be, fill mo with a *> m
pathv 1 never expected to feel for her. Bho is
the (laughter of one of the greatest men this
country over produced, a woman In distress,
abused and brow-beaten by her husband, be
trayed and deserted by her lover, und that is
enough for me.
Wuy, do you know that I am credibly In
formed that Mr. Conkling was assured by the
New' York papers that 11 bo would authorize a
denial of the whole thing, on bis honor as a
man and a Senator, they would not only sup
press tbc details, but unite in an Indorsement,
and, If needed, a defense, aud that Mr. Conk-
Hug refused! God of the universal where
are the Bibles, whore are tho stacks of Bibles,
so high that the meanest wretch would not
mount them, as upon an altar, and light
the pile with his own bauds, and, amid the
flames beneath, swear to the honor of the
woman who bad trusted him and wbu stood
compromised by his act until bis senses left

Mr. Conkling, with characteristic avoidance
of contamination to his gentlemuuhood, has
fled the held. Uo declines to appear in his
own person. Ho flrat Invents a most absurd
statement to the press, lie next prepares,*
not for himself, but for Sirs. Sprague,
to sign an inconsistent, illogical statement to
the public, iu the flrst person singular he has
never a word to utter, flu docs not say. “ 1
let tny character go,—do what vou will with U,
—hut thu woman Is innocent.” Ho does nut
havu even thu self-possession or the courage to
muku a diversion upon Spraguu and to sav to
him, "Sir, you are a scoundrel who Imvu at
tacked your own wile tbrougn me, and I
will hold you responsible.” He coca nothing
of thu sort. Uls greatness restrains him. lie
flics back to Utica, to the wife he lias descried,

from the drug store of F. A. Morrell. Ho had
taken a dose, but it waa net sudlclent to kill,
ami only caused profound sleep, which stffimcd
to do him good. Tuesday last ho WW much
worse, and wandered a (Treat deal, but was each
time returned to bis bed. There were no
evidence* of his having taken anymore chloro
form or any other drug. He left a note to Mr.
Lawrence, the burden of which was that ho
know nothing of the Irregularities In the office,
and was wrongfully treated there. A
note all crumpled rip and thrown away
was found to bear a few worm)
to the effect that ho considered it better that
his life should end. At the post-mortem ex
amination yesterday nothing waa found to aid
In determining the caoac of death, still leaving
It a mvstcry as to whether young Spear died
stricldally or from natural causes.

Sr. Loom, Aug. 20.—James 0. Harry, a very
old and wealthy citizen, and ox-Mayor of St.
Louis, left here two weeks ago for Coney Island,
but telegrams state be line not reached there,
and apprehensions are felt that something se
rious has befallen btra. His family are in
great distress, particularly os his only
daughter, Mrs. John F. Grady, died
very suddenly last Sunday, and they are very
anxious to inform him of that fact. All tho
summer-resort* on the Atlantic Coast and many
Inland watering-places have boon telegraphed,
hut no tidings of his whereabouts have
been received. Aside from being very
old, his ace being TO, ho
waa to feeble health when he left homo, and It*
is thought he may have stopped at some coun
try town to rest or been taken very sick, and
this dispatch Is written In the hope that he may
sec it and communicate with bis family.

ice suffered from a severe attack of scarlet
fever. When the fever left him he found that
his hair, which bad formerly been a bright
auburn In color, was changed to a decided irrav.
Several weeks ago he employed John A. Her
man, Esq., a young lawyer of this city, to make
application for a pension which la duo him. Tho
application, containing a description of the ap
plicant ns a GTav-haired man. was duly for
warded, and Mr. Herman nnw nothing more of
bis client for some time. Thu other day Parting
walked Into the lawyer's office, and, as he took
oft his hat ami remarked that be had Just re
covered from an attack of inflammatory rheu
matism. Mr. Herman was astounded to discover
that the man whom ho had recently described
In the pension application as eray-hcadcd now
possessed a crop of bright auburn hair, with not
n gray lock on bis head. The man Is unable to
give an explanation of the change, and Mr. Her*
man la naturally somewhat concerned about tho
discrepancy between his description and tho
actual appearance of his client.
