LATEST BY TELEGRAPR

SrRABCE SCAKDAL,

Mr. Corhln's Explanation of the Cannonehet Trouble,

NEW YOKE, December 28 —Austin Corbie, whose name baa been fnjouently difficulty be* of Khode

used in connection with the tween Ex Governor Sprague, Island, and Mrs. Sprague. has been interriewed by a Herald reporter. He said that as Mra. Sprague's suit for divorce had now become a matter of publicity, he thought the time had come when friends might speak. 'lima relative of Mrs. Sprague, as well as her friend and business adviser. 1 have known her many years, and what she has suffered in her domestic relations, and when it culminated in this infamous attack upon her at Canochet, and I became convinced that her own life, if not the lives of her children, was in danger, I sent her word to leave as soon as she could safely, and come directly to me, which she aid, Mrs. Sprague, after leaving Canonchet, sad during the time when she could not be found, was at my place near Babylon, Long Island. She spent two weeks there with her three daughters.

Reporter—In hiding? Mr. Corbin—Not a bit of it. They came openly there by a public conveyance and were daily driving about the country in the vicinity of my place, but they were under the eye and protection of half a dozen men employed on the property, who knew who they were, and who would have made it very unpleasant for any one who dared to molest them.

Corbin said further that after leaving Babylon Mrs. Sprague went to Edgwooa, her father's old home. In the early part of 1877 she practically separated from her husband because of his treatment, but in 1879 she visited Canonchet at his earnest solicitation, as he said it would aid him in securing his property, and would thus be beneffictal to the children, but she gained nothing whatever from it except added insult and wrong to the great load that had already been heaped upon her, This last outrage at Canonchet was the crown ing infamy of all.

Reporter—Then you do not believe in this Canonchet scandal? Corbin—On tire contrary, I know the whole story, as manufactured by Governor Sprague. to be entirely false. The pure uuadulturated fabrication and jam that he followed Mr. Conkling with a •hot gun is so ridiculous, so untruthful, and known to be so by a number of people at Canonchet at the time, that I have no patience in discussing it. There was not a shotgun on the place. There was absolutely nothing whatever in that story. It was a down right falsehood made out of the whole cloth.

Reporter—What then is the true theory of the so called Canonchet affair, and what connection did PonkHng have, with it? K*? -j

Mr. Corbin—The Cafciondh'et affair, as vou call It,so far as it isacahdal Involving Mrs. Sprague, is a Me out of the whole cloth. I have said that already. Conk

ling. I am told, was a guest at the house, inrlted there by Governor Sprajgue on business, for Sprague was mischieaving fn his characteristic manner. Mrs. 8prague was threatened as I said, and the house was by no means a cheerful place for anybody. Conkling and the other guests therefore left, bat they did so without a particle of trouble with Governor 8prague, and Mra. Sprague, as I have said, afterwards came to me. This lady is innocent of any wrong in thought or deed as a child.'*

Reporter—How about the suit for di Torce The bill charges some pretty severe things? •Corbin—Tou had better see Mrs. oprague's counsel in relation to this part of the case. He tells me that the material he had for a bill was so plentiful that he found it difficult to decide where to begin to make his statement and say all he had alleged, and much more is true.

Corbin said in conclusion that an effort had been made, for the sake of the children, to effect a peaceable settlement but he had never offered, as alleged, to present Governor Sprague with a judgment for $70,000 in case he would consent to a divorce. Mrs. Sprague had plenty of friends who would stand by her to the end.

Myaterloun Diamond Robbery.

N*w YOHK. December 28.—A mysterious robbery was committed several days ago at the house of A. L. Welmarth, Vice President of the Home Insurance Company, on Went Fifty-sixth street. The police were not informed of the robbery until Tuesqay, and have not yet made any arrest. The stolen property consisted mainly of diamonds, valued at $2,000. They were kept in a safe which stood in a front room on the second floor of the house. The key that unlocked the safe was in a closet in the back room. December 17 Mrs. Welmarth saw the contents of the safe untouched, and put the key in its drawer. The following day it was noticed that the door of the closet in which the key was kept could not be opened, but several days elapsed before the locksmith was sent for. He found the lock of the closet door broken apparently by force. The safe key was in its place, but some money and diamonds and money had been taken. The most singular feature of the robbery was that a large amount of money and checks representing twice the value of the stolen articles had been left untouched in the safe, while a pocket book containing a $100 bill and one $25 in gold coin had been taken. Five $100 bills that were in plain sight had been left. In the drawer whence the key had been taken was also a quantity of valuable, diamonds which the thief must have seen, yet they were untouched. The police concluded that the thief must be in the house, and well informed as to the movements of its inmates. On this theory they have been workine, bdt without result so far. The stolen diamonds have not been recovered.

BATARD'S BLAST.

Ex-Secretary Bonntwell's Explanation Of the Phelps-Dodge Case.

NEW YOHK,, December 23. A Washington correspondent of the Evening Pont has had an interview with Mr. Bout well, ex Secretary of the Treasury,|in relation to the Phelps-Dodge case, reported bv the Conkling Bayrd correspondence. Mr. Boutwell says "The first intimation I received that Dod^e & Co. had been charged with a violation of the revenue laws was from Wm. E. Dodge himself, who came to my rooms one day when I was too ill to go to the Treasury, and in formed me his house had been charged with a violation of these laws. He said if there had been any omission to pay duties it was due to ignorance, and not to an intention to defraud the Government. He added that the charge was very unpleasant for the firm and his family, and ne wished to make a statement without publicity. I told him that it was impossible, and if possible, would be very unwise that auy secrets in the Treasury were temporary that the results were a matter of record and open to inspection by. Congress and the officers of the Government. -n a I

SEEBURGER BROS.

You remember there was formely in this city an organization known as the Fat Men's Club.

It was the boast of this club that none of its members weighed less than 200 pounds. People have wondered where the members of this club got their beef and a short time ago it leaked out that most of them bought their meat of the Seeburger Bros., on Main street, between Sixth and Seventh, who|bave now their Christmas supply, three cattle weighing nearly five thousand pounds. Go to Seeburger Bros, if you want the best meat in the city.

The best shot wins. Try your luck at the Shooting Parlor at 622 Main street.
