8 «W*'W***’* ’e A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. a MANIAC FATHER MURDERS HIS CHID. AND THEN ATTEMPTS TO MURDER HIS WIFE. (From the Buffalo Express, Dec. 21.) Tuesday morning a rumor reached Buffalo that a' terrible murder had been committed aZ White’s Corners, some twelve miles southwest. An Express reporter was at once dispatched to the scene of the reported murder and gathered the following par ticulars: For a long time past there has resided m the vil lage a family named Sprague, consisting of the father, Horace W. Sprague, aged 27; his wife, Mary *Sprague, -aged 25, and three children, Elmer, aged five years; Clarence, aged three years, and Ellen, aged nine months. Mrs. Sprague kept a millinery establishment, which was the main support of the family, while Sprague himself sold picture frames, etc., and had until lately been an agent for the Wheeler Wilson sewing machines. The couple do not seem to have agreed very well, Sprague bexag a shiftless sort of fellow, and the neighbors say hav ing abused his wife, who, however, never made any public complaints against him. The family lived in the rear of the mi inery store, which is a two-story frame building on Church street, the front part of which is adorned by a modest sign bearing the inscription. “Mrs. Sprague, Millinery and Dress making,” and consists of a store 12x29 feet, and a room in the rear of about the same dimensions. THE STORY OF THE TRAGEDY. The Sprague family retired to bed as usual on Mond «y evening. Ail slept in tho same bed in the room at the rear of tho store. Sprague did not un dress. About one o’clock Sprague got up and told hfs wife that he could not sleep and would build a fire. She heard him go to |he buttery, where he kept his razor, and the next recollection she has was that he was standing over her trying to cut her throat, gbe is somewhat larger than her husband, and suc ceeded in wrenching the weapon from his hand. He then rushed to the wood-box, seized his ax, and dealt her several blows upon the head. Scanned and "bleeding, she managed to escape out into the store, thence into the street, and across to one of the neigh bors. It is supposed that upon his wife’s escape, Sprague killed the little girl Ellen, her head being nearly severed from her body. A SCENE OF HORROR. Passing through the store, which is carpeted, and contains a small counter, a sewing machine, and a few picture frames, our reporter passed into the room in which the tragedy occurred. It is separat ed from the store by a g.ass door. On entering at tho right is seen a cook stove and table, to the left is an alcove, in which was the bed. The whole place was a scene of horrible disorder. The bed was tossed by the struggle and plastered with blood, as were also the walls and floor. The mangled corpse cf the murdered child was laid out upon the table, and a l around the apartment were scattered tlie bloody traces of the terrible struggle. MRS. SPRAGUE’S STORY. The following is the statement of Mrs. Sprague, as given in the.form of an ante-mortem deposition to Di. Morrow, the Coroner: Mary Sprague being sworn, testifies and says: I am a milliner; reside at White’s Corners, town pf Hamburgh; deceased was my child; she was born in Hamburgh; was aged nine months; Horace W. Sprague is my husband; myself and children went to bed last night ahout ten P. M.; Sunday he wanted me to confess I had wronged him; denied it; wanted him to kiss me good night, but he refused; cried and went to bed; went to Bufiftlo yesterday morn ing; he wanted me to go, but would not bid me good-by; returned home about six o’clock last night ©n the stage; on going home my husband jumped up and said he had iust got through a vision which had lasted two. weeks, and asked me to forgive him; he acted more rational last evening than he had for the past two weeks; went to bed about ten P. M.; my husband went also to bed, but did not undress a habit he has had for the past two weeks; he made no threats; in two or three hours I felt him get up; asked the reason; he replied that he couldn’t sleep, he was going to get up and make a fire; he got up and made a fire; heard him take a chair and go into the buttery, where he kept his razor; he said noth ing to me at this time;, dozed a little; woke up and found him standing over me trying to cut my throat with a razor got part way up and strug gled with him wrenched the razor from him and threw it. over the bed; he then started for the ax In the wood box then saw him with the uplifted ax coming toward the bed there was a bright light from.the lamp in the room: grasped the ax handle and held on as long as I could, tho bed being flhoved out.jnto the centre of the room by the strug gle he wrenched the ax from me jumped from fne bed, and.he struck me about a dozen times with tho ax on tho head (with tho blunt end of the ax;) managed in-tome way to get the shop door open and ran to the front door, he following me to the door Opened it and ran over to Mr. Eckhert’s house he then went back during ail this time he said not a word he is a temperate man—never drinks never ebowed any such symptoms before his uncle, John Sprague, was insane also his grandmother ©n his father’s side he is not a spiritualist but be lieves in spiritshe felt bad because he had been blackballed on making application to join a .Masonic lodge in the bed last night, beside myself and hus band, there were two boys and the baby; he always thought a great dealjcf the baby. GREAT. EXCITEMENT .prevails at Whitens Coiners. course the murder is the only tonic of c^vercation. Some believe in Bprague’s insrtiiity, otbeis denounce him as a mur derer, shamming to escape punishment. The sym pathy of the people is .generally m favor of Mrs. Spregue, who is spokenlof as a hard working, in ■fiusLvlous woman. A FEARFULJWVENTURE. EIGHTEEN HOURS ON A LOG IN THE ARKAN SAS RIVER WITH TH# THERMOMETER AT ZERO —INTENSE SUFFERING—NARROW ES CAPE FROM DEATH. (‘/from the Fort Smith Era, Dec. Bth.) i In the afternoon of the 3d lust., two young men of this city discovered, some two miles below town, a canoe lodged on a drift pile in the river. One of them, Ecgiebert Shuler, working for Mr. Dwenger, the blacksmith, proposed to secure the .canoe and im mediately to work to carry out hispurpose. Tying two logs together with grapevines, he pushed out in the river, which is at that point very rapid and deep. About seventy-five yards from the shore hia frail raft encountered one of those huge logs that are fre quently met with rearing their ugly heads sp out of the waler. The shock proved too much for the grapevine concern and it went to pieces, the young navigator and captain of the impromptu craft, how ever, saving himself by jumping on the big log. His comrade, whose name we have not yet been j-blo io learn, after watching the discomfiture of bis friend, went back to town and informed the friends of young Shuler of his dangerous situation. By that time it was nearly dark and a perfect hurricane from the North had set in, chilling with its bitter cold breath all living things, and dashing furiously ti.e |cy waves against the single stick oi timber .to which,. with stiffening limbs, the young man hung with a. death grip. Help soon appeared, and Mr. Dw.enger and other friends endeavored to get Shuler off in a small scow or flatboat, but the furious tempest and rough waves after bvery attempt drove them back to the shore and, finally swamped the boat, and the men were reluctantly compelled to leave the unfortunate man to the fearful fate of an almost certain, linger ing, painful death. And there the unhappy man stood, all through that fearful night, with but two yards of an old, slippery, jce-crusted log under him, exposed to the fearful blast in the wide stretch of the broad Arkansas, ever fend anon washed off his precarious foothold, his clothes gradually becoming hard as a coat of mail, his limbs stiff and cold, with naught but death before him, and ad this in sight of home, in sight of the bright lights of his native place, the emblem of com fort and safety, glittering so tantalizingiy through the darkness and storm. Who can imagine the bit terness of spirit and agony of the wretched boy Early on Monday morning, the report in town was that Englebert Shuler was seen on the log, stiff in death; upon which, Mr. Neely Birnie and Mr. Black shire Bunock determined to go down and bring off ihe body. Arrived off the place, they saw what they believed to be the body stretched out on the log. The scow also was found half filled with water frozen solid. They immediately set to work building a fire on the ice on the boat, and finally succeeded in clear ing it. Pushing out cautiously, they managed to make their way across, stemming a powerful current, and pursuing a zig-zag course through thin but large sheets of ice rapidly floating down stream. When they neared the* log, they found, to their glad sur prise, that Shuler was not dead, but his speech and consciousness were nearly gone. Reviving him with a little spirts, as fast as possible they brought him to tho shore, and taking him between them, his arms around their necks, they hurried him, with the ut most dispatch, toward town. After proceeding about half a mile, they met a party with a wagon which bad also started to the rescue. Placing him thereon, the party soon reached town. On examination, it was found that Shuler’s hands, nose, ears and lower extremities wore tearfully frozen. He now-lies in a precarious condition at the residence of Mr Joseph Noble, attended by Dr. Duval. He will probably lose his feet. Great credit is due to Messrs. Birnie and bullock for their timely rescue of the young man, Without which lie must certainly have perished. THE LOST HEIRESS. (From the Albany Knickerbocker.) Among the distinguished personages who visited police headquarters cu Monday, was Mr. boldatkoff, a Russian, who is one oi Prince Alexis’ party. While viewing, the objects of interest about tho Rogue’s Gallery, the distinguished lorcigner was struck by the face of one of the females in the frame. If his recollection served him right, ba knew the woman, and of course instigated some inquiries. Upon consulting the book containing the names of the .persons represented, it was found that the face iden tified by the stranger was set down us Madame Gratowski, which was an alias. She was arrested on the charge of shoplifting at the stores of. several of our merchants, and after trial, was sept to Sing Sing Prison for three years and six months The stranger said the woman was a native of his country, that her name was ILtdetsky, and was the dkughier f one of the first families oi the Empire; and that more, since her departure— having, by the wa&. eloped—her father died, leaving her an immense •fortune. Chief Maioy and Captain Ha’e both recollected the woman well, and her gen eral description aivenjiy the stranger corresponded with their impression exactly. These officials also asaert that the woman served cut her time at Sing Sipg, but has besn arrested within a year at New York, and is now at Sing Sing aervin# out another term. The stranger made a memorandum of all the and Cupt. Hale paid, and he informed those officers that he would zrtake tho fact known to tho Prince, who was acquain?ed w.th the circumstances connected with the case, ani3 between them an effort would to secure the pardon of Madam Ridetsky. LIFE-LIKE PORTRAIT. She was a brilliant dame, with winning manners, ©yes like aloes, and pretty, confiding ways, that con vinced every man she desired to pump that her one fond wish was to nestle under his strong arm and untold to him the whole tale of her existence, Man toting the silliest of bipeds, this stratagem never failed, so that in half an hour, she had generally coaxed out of her interlocutor all she cared to k*iow and restored him to society squeezed morally flat &b a biffin. Nevertheless, there was not an event occurred within Paris but that she was as familiar with all its details as though she had been on the spot and had taken occular notes; yet it was part of her delightful system to feign ignorance of everything, and she would go into little ecstasies of wonder to hear it rained in the morning; clasp her charming hands m amazement at learning that so-and-so, whose wed ding she had attended, had just been married, and exclaim, in her silvery tone: “Dear, dear! that’s news indeed, on being apprised that her own hus band, every one of whose steps in this life she had tho honor of an appointment which she herself had obtained for him Wettts mv ttmgh to ?n mischievous, aflbeted thing, and detested her. She returned the ’compliment, and in the prettiest way possible,.without being aware of what she was do ing, would pick the most virtuous woman’s reputa tion to bits in five minutes, leaving not so much of it as would suffice tor the needs of a courtesan. Fur al! of which things men adored her. stoutly took her part when she was attacked by her own sex, and gave her credit for all the innoconce, good nature and candor to which she chose to lay claim. g®" Valuable Patent For Sate.-The Patentee wishes to eeU the patent right Gf an,-IM PROVEMENT IN SPRING PERCHES FOR BIRD CAGE’S.
