CONKLING-SPAUGE.

Special Dispatch to The Enqt»Iier. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Farther detailed accounts of the Conkling-Spragne

Sleaffair

narrel at Narraganaett Pier chow that was much more serious than at first described, and of a diSexent nature. Sjtecisla say that Cockling went to the Bprague mansion on Wednesday. Sprague had gone &wav, saving he was going to Maine. On Thursday night

TOOK THE WAGON SEAT WITH HIM. Then he and the senator had an angry controversy, in which those who overheard it heard Sprague say, "No, I won't take any apology from vou, God damn you. Don't cross my patn again, unless you are armed. I shall be armed, and God damn you I'll shoot you." There was a long and angry altercation, in which the spectators expected to Bee a fist fight. The language was repeated several times, Sprague refusing to receive any aiology and

CONKLING, WHITE WITH ANGER/-'" trying to quiet him. Finally, with the threat repeated again to shoot at next sight, Sprague got into his wagon again and drove away. Conkling, with white face, passed into a restaurant and asked fur crackers and milk, which were given him, and which he ate without outward, eign of emotion save that his face was so very pale. Then he strolled out on the! beach, and walked up and down and soon' returned to the restaurant. While there a carriage drove up and a woman who, answers Mrs. Sprague's description calledj him to the carriage. They were in con-j versation for a few moments and then she drove away. Conkling whiled away two hours before the train started for Provi-' dence, and in the meantime had hiB.baggage Drought from the Sprague honse. Arriving in Providence, he went to Senator Anthony's, and there dictated the dispatch sent out by the Associated Press, in) which it was made to appear that ue's trouble was with the Germany and that Conkling interfered. The truth' is that SPRAGUE DID HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE

GERMAN,

but it was before he reached the house, when he accosted Conkling, and Conkling' had nothing to do with it whatever. There was some talk of having statements^ printed in the Providence papers, but it' was not done over their signatures. Immediately after the trouble at Sprague's house

'-cij[V5

HE RETURNED SECRETLY

to the house and occupied his privste room unknown to the inmstes of the house, save one aervsnt. Next morning he quietly went down town, and in the afternoon, reluming to the house, found Cockling quietly sitting on tbe piazza with Mrs. Sprague. "I'll give you just twenty minutes to get off these premises," eajd Sprague to Conkling "are you armed?" Conbling replied that he was not. '*Xhen if you are not, get away-

I'LL FIRE ON YOU.

Sprague is said to have made use of other language, and Conkling, in seeming surprise, arose in much confusion, and after much nesitation bowed himself down the steps and started down the road. The witness and authority for this is Sprsgue's coachman. The senator strollea along down toward the village until he reached the drug store, and while in front of it there came a rattling of wheels behind him. The druggist says that Sprague drove up pale with anger and in great excitement—BO much so tbat when he jumped from the wagon he

MRS. SPRAGUE PACKED UP

and went to town, and next day went to Providence, taking the children with her. There were several guests in the house at. the time, and they also went away.Sprague stayed there all night, and next day went to Providence. There he was jd what Conkling had done, and his an wer was: "He tried to do in my house what he had done in Washington." For months the name of Senator RoscoeOonk-1 ling has been associated by gossip with that of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague. Mr*. Sprague Bpent last winter and a portion of last summer in Washington, ana was frequently in the company of Senator Cockling. He is said not only to have ridden out with the wife of the Rhode Island senator, but to have left his seat in the senate on different occasions, enter the diplomatic gallery, and there converse for long periods with this once

FAMOUS WASHINGTON BEAUTY,

A gentleman who had known Mrs. Sprsgue from childhood said to-dav: "She is as beautiful as ever. I telieveshe. would discount Mrs. Langtry in point of. beauty and accomplishments.. She wss always an ambitious wontan, probably more ambitious than any American lady who ever lived. I do not think Mrs. Sprague is over forty years of age now though a mother of children, she does not look to be over thirtv years of age now." It is ssid her marriage was not a love match. The daughter of a secretary of the treasury, afterward chief justice of the United 8tates and a presidential aspirant, Mr?. Sprsgue, it is said, married lor position more than anght else. Sprague had position and wealth, indeed, when he met the belle of Washington, as Miss Cham was called. He was leported to own nearly the whole of Rhode Island. Mie.Sprague'erT^-":^-"-?'-'^

GREATEST DISAPPOnmCEtT

in life was the defeat of her father's nomination for president by the Cincinnati Liberal Republican convention in 1872. She even canvaLsed among senators, congressmen and others in behalf of her distinguished father's nomination. Senator Sprague spent much money to secure this result

Mrs. Sprague longed to be mistress of the White House, as she was of her father's mansion. After the Cincinnati convention deckled on Greeley instead of Chase the latter died. Then •FEAGUKi HOYT A 00, failed, and sinoe then domestic tr&ubles have ensued between the ex-governor and his wife. If the reports about Mr. Ctonk ling's attentions to Mrs. Sprsgue are it is no wonder that Mr. Sprsgue fed incensed, and it Is a wonder that he has not pnt a stop to such attention long
