A dispatch received from Fresno, Cal. states that Dr. Spronogle bad been arrested tbere. Sheriff Jackson came to Salem Saturday to secure a requis ition and left on the overland for Fres no. The crime committed is one of the worst in the whole category, and if found guilty, the offender should re ceive the full sentence of the law. The past record of this man seems to be very rocky. According to the Browns ville Times bis wife and daughter died very suddenly at Santa Rosa, Cal. Their txnlles were exhumed and found full of poison. A lynching party was organized; but Spronogle escaped. At Marshfield, the Times says he was again married, and bis wife died sud denly. Then he ran away with a young girl. He seems to have been a tramp doctor only remaining In places a short time. If these things are cor rect, and tbey probably are in substance It Is strange tbat he kept bis California name. Dr. J. D, Spronogle is now In cus tody at Fresno, Cal. and Is wanted at Brownsville to answer to the charge of rape upon the person of one of his lady patients, Mrs. M. F. Wyatt. This crime was committed it Is claimed at Brownsville while the woman was un der the Injuenco of chloroform. The sheriff expeots to return about Wednes day. Spronogle is aged about 55 years, and from his photograph is a bright looking man. He Is said to be a first class pbjblcfan. MARION COUNTY PROBATE. In the W. P. Brown estate Geo. G.

Boyle's chop-house, on Calhouu place, and took a seat at a table occupied by W. A. S. Graham, the murdered may or's secretary, and another gentleman well known in local financial circles. Graham, who knew Prendergast. intro duced him to his friend, and both gen tlemen noticed tbat the man was labor ing under intense excitement. Pres ently, without any remarks having been exchanged to lay a foundation for what was- coming, Prendergast burst into a bitter denunciation of the mayor. Not imagining for a moment that Prendergast cherished any thought of murder in his bean, Secretary Graham adroitly changed the subject The man's excitement gradually subsided, and when he left the place he had ap parently forgotten what he bad said in the beat of passion a few moments be fore. Neither of the gentlemen thought any more on the subject, and secretary Graham regarded it as so trival that, so far as is known, he did not mention the subject to his chief. SKETCH OF HARRISON'S LIFE. . Carter H. Harrison was born near Lexington, Ky., February 15, 182o. His great-grandfather was the father ot Benjamin, who was the father of Pres ident William Henry Harrison, His grandfather was first cousin of John C. Breckinridge and Benjamin Harrison. By the death of bis father, he was left at the age of 8 years to care for bis mother, who was the daughter of Col onel William Russell, of the United States army, and a Northwestern pio neer. Lewis Marshall, a brother of the chief Justice and father of T. M. Marshall, prepared him for Yale, where be graduated in .1845. After gradu ating in law at Transylvania, and trav eling abroad two years, he settled in Chicago in 1855, invested In real estate, and became wealthy. He was commis sioner of Cook county from 1871 to 1874, when be went to congress, serving two years. He attracted attention during the Hayes- Widen contest, and introduced a resolution for a six-years' presidential term and making presi dents eligible for ono term only, but senators for life. MAYOR OF CHICAGO. He was elected mayor of Chicago In 1879, 1881, 1883, 1885, and 1893. In 1884 be was the Democratic candidate against Oglesby for governor of Illinois and the same year was delegate-at-large to the national convention that nomi nated Cleveland. After completing bis fourth term as mayor, he made a trip around the world and wrote a "Race With the 8un.' In 1890 he visited Alaska and tho National Park, aud bis book ''A summer's Outing," added to his literary fame. In 1891 he purchased the Chicago Times, which heedlted un til elected mayor last April, and which his sons now own. He was married in 1855 to Supley Preston. She died In Europe in 1870. In 1882 he married Marguerite Stearns, who died in 1887, aurt he was to be married November 7 to Miss Anna Howard, of New Orleans. At the time of his death be was a can didate for United States senator. Dur ing the past six montbB he had re ceived the ollloialsand delegations vlsit- Inir the world's fair, aud the different congresses aud conventions from all parts of the country and world, and his welcomo addresses constitute a volume of happy thoughts and sugges tions. His last address was delivered yesterday to the visiting mayors and municipal officers. PRENDERGAST INSANE. Prendergast Is beyond doubt a lunatic, pure aud simple. He bad studied and read cranky ecouomio theories until bis mind gave way. He imagined that he was a reformer. He had sobemes for the betterment of all mankind. He DAI LY are going off like hot was especially interested in the welfare of Chicago, and imagined tbat he alone could reform the abuses from which the city is suffering. He was especially bitter in bis denunciation of the rail ?i ? ""V"a """-" aiv ICDu; sible for many deaths every year; and the Idea became fixed in his mind that road grade crossings, which are respon- 11 uo were uiaue corporauou counsel ne poratlo could solve the problem of elevating all the railroad tracks within the city lim its. Long brooding oyer the subject created the delusion that the mayor had promised him the office. He in sisted upon the fulfillment of the im aginary promise. He haunted the municipal building and denounced the city officials. Finally be determined tbat the mayor was acting in bad faith. This Idea grew upon him and he thought of It day aud night. His di seased brain was incapable of entertain ing any other idea,at least so it seemed. At last be determined to demand from the mayor himself satisfaction for his imaginary wrongs. He had now reached the homicidal stage. He bought a cheap second-baud revolver and called at the mayor's residence. Mr. Harrison, accustomed to the vagaries of all sorts of cranks, treated bis de mands lightly. Prendergast killed pirn. That Is the story. Second Baloon Ascension. About 2000 people witnessed the suc cessful ascension ot the aerialist Hazel Keyes Sunday afternoon at the state fair grounds. The baloon went up from Just east of the payllllon at 3:30 carrying the dariug woman and ber trained pet, the monkey Yan Yan out of eight in the bank of fog in a few minutes and totally disappearing there in for about ten minutes. Her reap pearance below the clouds suspended from the parachute was greeted with cheers and the monkey followed on bis separate aerial conveyance. It was a novel and interesting sight, aud the as cent must have covered a mile or more, Go to the New York Racket for bar gains in bats, shoes and underwear. 2dlw Fall Suiting And suiting fall.
