L, Dec. 18—This after- noon a petition was filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Washington County by Katherine Chase Sprague, through her counsel, praying for divorce from William Sprague. Following are the material alle- gations of THE BILL: mah et Katherine Chase Sprague, of Sou! ings~ town, in the County of Washington. respect~ fully represents that she is a domiciled inbabit- artof the State of Hhode Island, and hus re- sided therein for one year next before filing of petition; that she was married to William Sprague on the 12th day of November, 1863, at ‘ashington. D.C., and has ever since kept all the obligations of the murriage covenant, Dut that William Sprague has _ violated ‘the same in this, that be has committed adultery with divers women and at divers places since said marringe,—to-wit: with one Mary Eli Viall, alias Mary Eliza Anderson, at divers times in each and every year from the year 186 to tho ear 1879, in the City of Providence, in sald tate, and elsewhere, and especially at Nantasket Beach, State of Massachusetts, in the year 1878; With one Elizabeth BR. McCue, formerly Eliza beth ‘at South Kingstown, each ar from the year 1877 to the Ia: with one ‘Rarriet Brown year 18s at Washington; with jargie English, ‘in South town and else- where, in the years 1866 and 1sé7; with one Fan- nie Adams in March, 1876, at Providence, at the house of Ann M.

"Then follows a brief sketch of Sprague’s Dusiness difficulties. It is claimed that Sprague could have employment from the Trustee of his business interests, but he re- fuses to do anything to support his family. ‘The bill continues, saying: ‘That satd Sprague has been gullty of other gross misbehavior and wickedness in violation of the marriage covenant, in this that he has re- atedly applied the vilest and most opprobious SFitnets to’ petitioner, both alone and in the that he bas threatened to kill her: that he has broken up and destroyed tho furniture in their house, at one time coliccting the bedding snd furniture in the night time and making a ontire of the same; that he bas often said to his children thst he wus not their father, and they were not bis cbildren; he has repeatedly falsely accused petitioner of gross improprietics with others, sometimes one man, sometimes another; that he has intercepted and returned letters addressed to ber by her counse!; that in August, 18:9, while petitioner and Sprague were at Canoncbet he refused to allow her friends, including ber legal adviser, to see her; that he at that time refused to permit petitioner to leave the house to go anywhere with her said children, and sought to imprison ber and them therein; that from 1885 to 18;5 Sprague frequently attempted to have crimiual intercourse with female domestics and guests in the family, causing them to leave the house; that prior to Feoruary, 1877. said Sprague by in- decent advances to femule servants and other wiolavons of decency, which had increased in frequency and enormity, bad made the resi- dence at South Kingston an unsuitable abode for petitioner and her children. Petitioner did, jo Fobrunry, 1877, with the assent of Spraguc, Jeave the house with her three daughters, her son Willie being then absent in Europe. In 1879, urged by Sprague s0 todo, petitioner obtained permission from Zachariah Chafee, Trustee ot the property of the corporations and business firms, who was possessed of Canonchet as a por- tion of property included-in. trust, to occupy the Bouse with her children duriug the summer Months; that Sprague urged thut by so doing it would be of muterial pecuniary benefit to him in adjusting his atfairs with his creditors; that on her way to Canonchet petitioner remained with her children on Sunday at Watch Hill, RL; that Spracue then came to Watch Hill grossly intoxicated; that be was violent and offensive, and with a stick menaced and assaulted tho attendant of the children. On the arrival of petitioner at Canonchet, by virtue of permission of the Trus- tee. Sprague presented himself at that place from time to uuic, often intoxicated and men- acing, and at I b assumed authority over and. control of the premises. Finally it became im- ible for~petitioner to remain longer, as prague caused her to fear for ber personal safety and that of her children, and even her life. He threatened to carry away her chil- dren to Europe. Influenced by ber fears and his threats, and asthe only escape from indignity and danger. your peti- tioner by the aid of friends was cnabled to ty with ber daughters to a place of sufety; ubat for more than two years last past Sprague bas in every possible way sought to annoy and disturb titioner, and to muke her life wretched; that prague. since he drove ber from Canonchet, has persistently refused to deliver to her ber wearing upparel, and that of her children, and that of her servant: and he has refused to per- mit other personal Droperts, belonging to petitioner, including gifts “from ber fother and friends, and rtraits of her purents to be delivered to the Trustce of the etitioner, or io the Sheriff of tke County of Washington holdme writs of replevin for the same, and has resisted the officer, and has pre- vented him trom entering the house where property is situated by closing and barring tho doors of the house, and brs threatened personal violence to any person attempting to take pos- session of said property or any property of your ptitioner there situated; having made it Impossible for petitioner to remain ut Canonchet said Spracue has occupied the house asa place of resort for persons of vicious reputation and bad charucter, consorting with them inreveiry and drunkenness, and bas allowed the only son Pr nentoner: and said William Sprague. named William Sprague, Jr., to cun- fort and associate with persons of bad charac- ter, and to become addicted to bad habits and Adieness, withholding trom him all educational advantages, thereby tending to corrupt bis morals and vittaie his future life.

The Government refuced at first. telling her that she could notgo to Versailles. To show that it was possible, Louise Michel went there and returned. She bad not attempted to see Thiers, having given ber word this time. Then Ferré disarmed her, saying that the Revo- lution must not be established ona crime. At the time of the repression of tho Communo Louise Michel denounced herself.

A‘ notice appeared in the last issue of the Ontario Government Gazette stating that, at the next session of the Legislature, the Trent & Pictov Railway will ask for power to ex- tend the line from its present terminus to the Marmora Mines. The present line is thirty-two miles long, running from Picton, in Prince Edward County, to Trenton Junction. It is proposed by the own- ers—of whom J. B. McMullen, of Chicago, is the principal—to extend the line inland to the Marmora Iron Mines, a distance of about twenty miles. Another extension cov- ered by the existing charter is to be made at the same time. from ®icton to Scuth Bay, ten or twelve miles southeast. ‘The great advantages of the new terminus at South Bay are, that it will bring the product of the mines sixty miles nearer to Oswego and New York than from any other point on the Can- adian shore connecting directly with the Delaware & Lackawanna Road and other lines to New York City; and, further, that its terminus will be the mostaccessible, safe, and capacious harbor on the lake. A line of steamers is spoken of as an adjunct to the sextended line; and the projectors look for- ward to a considerable extent of trailic through the attractions of Prince Edward as aresort of American and other tourists. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Orrawa, Dec. 18.—Mr. Brunel, Commis- sioner of Inland Revenue, has presented to Parlikment his fifth report respecting the analyses of food. Throughout the Dominion, out of 1,033 samples analyzed, 295 were adul- terated, and twenty returned as doubtful. In the list of adulterated articles, butter stands first, milk second, coffee third, and pepper and other condiments follow next. From 186 down to 1880 the percentage of adulterated samples has decreased from 51 to 2% per cent. Out of thirty samples of canned fruit, all were pure save one, and that was totally unfit for food. Of con- diments, over 52 per cent were adul- terated. Of ninety samples of cocoa and chocolate analyzed, nineteen were adulterated, and these principally with sugar and flour. Qut of sixty-five samples of cof- fee, thirty-five were adulterated. Of 51 samples of milk, seventy-two were adulter- ated, and eight doubtful. Of fourteen sam- ples of potted meat, two were adulterated, and one of these was uufit for food. Fifty- five samples of sugar were examined, and all were free from adulteration, unless an excess of glucose, which may be considered as a debasement of quality, is counted as an adulteration. Six out of ninety-three sam- ples of tea were adulterated; a few samples were worthless, and used to adulterate other eas. Senator Power, of New Brunswick, stated in the Senate the other night that, “So far from the people of the Maritime Provinces feeling that they had benefited by Confedera- tion, four-fifths of them would vote for the repeal of the Confederation act.” Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, MostTreEat, Dec. 18.—The agents of Messrs.

Mr. F. B. McNamee, of this city, is engag- ine hes laborers to work on the Welland Canal. ‘The feeling in the country in regard to the agreement with the syndicate to build the Canada Pacific Railway is, that the syndicate has got by far the best ot the bargain.

Goy. Sprague has declared his intention of fighting this bill by every means in his pow- er. His first step will be to demur to the dillon the ground of vetitioner’s non-resi- dence for wore than a year, which isa fatal bar under the statutes of Rhode Island, As is shown in the bill, irs. Sprague claims 8 constructive residence, and that she has been driven from Canonchet by her husband. Af the demurrer is not sustained Sprague will file a cross-bill alleging adultery on Mrs. Sprague part, and there is not a doubt that the Conklin episode will be ventilated for allivis worth. There is every probability of highly scandalous stories coming out, since many of the allegations against Sprazue can he Oroy ens ‘The day for a hearing is not yet Bel “Ange de Ln Commune.

CONNEMARA. Another Dispatch from Bishop Ireland —Hodges’ Bad Company Explains tho Animus of His Report. Svectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Sr. Pavr, Minn., Dec. '8—Hodges, who, with O'Brian, went up to investigate the con- dition of the Connemara people at Graceville, fell at once under the influence of the Morris party. He declined to act with O’Brian, went out from Morris with the prime movers in the case, Hutchins and his friends, and, having with them visited huyiedly numbers of the families, sent down a report confirming Mutchins’ statements. O'Brian is patiently and conscientiously at work and will report in a few days. Hodges bad company explains the animus: of his re- port. Itis an easy thing, having imposed oneself upon the Connemara amilies as their great friend, ready to lavish gifts upon them if they are at all in need, to get them to make statements upon which a theory of suffering can be built. ‘The Morris people do not seek facts, but arguments for a prear- ranged case. Bisuor IRELAND. ‘Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Sr. Paut, Minn., Dec. 18—The report of Referee Hodges on the Connemara Colony case created a greater sensation here than the original publication, and now Bishop Ireland repudiates the referee, The Bishop braces himself up with the following: 7 GRACEVILLE, Friday, Dec. 17.—The Rt-Rev. Bishop ireland: Mr. Hodges came to the colony with Hutchins and a party from Borris. He never kept his promise with me, and has visited the Connemaras with me in company with those Ibave mentioned. Iam going out with a com- mittee from here, and hope to be through to- morrow. Respectfully, Ditton O'BRIEN. Bishop Ireland remarked that he was very much surprised at the letter of Mr. Hodges telegraphed to the Ploneer-Press yesterday, and he was led to believe that the report may have becn highly colored in view of. its hasty promulgation and the sensational character of the statements. Bishop Ireland was anxious to have a fair and unprejudiced investigation of the alleged suffering in the Connemara Col- ony, and to this .ena he requested Mr. Hodges to accompany Dillon O’Brien on a tour of personal inspection, be- lieving that Mr. Hodges would be an impartial observer, whose statement would appear side by side withghat of Mr, O’Brien. It was arranged that both should start on Tnesday, last, but Mr. Hodges could not leave St. Paul earlier than Wednes- day. ‘The arrangement was then changed for a meeting on Thursday at Grace- ville, where Mr. O’Brien was to await the arrival of Hodges. With this understanding Mr. O’Brien leit on Tuesday, but he waited at Graceville in vain for the appearance of Hodges, who never turned up at that point at all, On the contrary, he stopped off at Morris, and then, with utchins as his guide, proceeded to make hig rounds, after which he returned to Mori! and forwarded his report by wire to the Pionecr-Press. 7 - This isthe theory of the Bishop, who sus- tains a sort of paternal relationship to the colony. But he isn’t advised, and doesn’t seem to have taken the pains he might to in- vestigate the ugly reports which have now caine from several sources, with confirma- tion of the others. ——— - THE CURLERS.

Hale in @ communication to THE TRiBUNE says: “Kumyss should be tho reliance of tho phy- sician in all those cases of debility in which prompt improvement of the general tone is imperative. _Kumyss is the blandest and most ensily digested food, and as such the best nour- ishment for 2 weak stomach; at the same time, through the process of fermentation which Kymyss undergoes, medicinal qualities are de- yeloped which we vainly look for in materia medica. In nausea, yomiting, extreme cases of Lie age Kumyss acts like a charm, promptly reliev! ull the distressing symptoms of such cases. When the stomach rejects all else, Kumyss isretained and assimilated, affording the patient nourishment, strength, and comfort, and, as 8 logical cousequence, nervous- ness ceases and refreshing sleep follows. In scarlet, intermittent, gastric, and typhoid fever, I prefer Kumyss us the exclus- ive dict. It gatisties thirst and hunger and allays the fever. Kumyss has considerably the ad- yantage over drugs, in that it never can do harm. To dose an irritable stomach with drugs isan absurdity which no fntelligent physician attempts in thisday. But not only in extreme cases should Kumyss be resorted to; it should be the chief remedy for a weak stomach under all elreumstances. The dyspeptic brain-worker with a few glasses of Kumyssa day will improve his digestion and his nerve force.
