ex-senator was attired in his usual hand
some manner, and was very gracious to The
CRITIC man. He courtcously replied to his
request to interview him: "YOu must
pardon me on this occasion, do not wish to
be interviewed.
THE CRITIC man was persistent and in
quired further of ex-senator Conkling, ask
ing what his future course would be in the
political world.
Mr.. COnkling answered: II am done
with politics, now and forever. This fight
is over, and shall hereafter devote my
time and purpose of life to my law prac-
tice."

tinued, that you will enter the next Presi.

"No!" replied the Senator. No! most
emphatically. 1t has been said that it is
possible that / would be brought forward as

not at all solicitous of the honor"
The ex-senator then excused himself aud
retired to his room. He will be here for
several days.
II hear some talk about your being
rendered and accepting Justiceship on the
Supreme Bench of the United States?"
"There is not word of truth in the re-

RAT POISON


Margaret McManus a white woman of SO
years of age, died at her residence, 80 De-
frees street, on Saturday night. She in
formed her husband shortly before her
death that she had committed suicide and
gave the reasons of herdesire to die, which,
however, have not been made public.
The woman has been a sufferer from dys-
pepsia, and the morbid gloominess caused
by this, together with domestic troubles,
induced her to take large dose of Trough
on Rats" the well-known rat poison, from
the effects of which she suffered for fifty
nine hours previous to violent and terri
bly, painful death.
The coroner's deputy, DIR. Hartigan, made
an examination Of the body this morning
at the house of her husband, and gave a
certificate of burial, deciding that the cause
of death was poison administered by the
deceased with suicidal intent.
The body will be inferred at A o'clock
this afternoon at Mount Olivet Cemetery.

abilities of the very highest order he Joined
n character of singular purity, bencvolence,
and sweetness. During the many years he
served with such conspicuous honor on the
bench, nothing but the most cxacting
sense of duty, and the most unsullied
integrity were reflected in his career.
: His life is the only monument he needs,
and young aspirants for professional re-
n0wn will do well to follow it closely as a
model. His attainments as jurist were as
impressive and commanding rs his stately
figure, and both will be long remembered in
Washington and by attorneys from all over
the country who .practiced before the
Supreme Court. The death of the venerable
Justice will leave Judge Field the only
Democrat OH the court of last resort,
q condition of things unparalleled in the ju-
dicial history of the country,a and in the face
of such IAN unusual disparity it is more
than probable that when the time comes
to appoint successor, some illustrious
Democratic member of the Bar will be Sc
lected. A common feeling of justice would
seem to require this much at the Prcsi-
dents hands-ED.

bill. The answer states that the defendant,
the joint stock company, is now and has
always been willing that the association
should occupy the rooms that it has, on the
payment of a fair and reasonable rent, and
that at the time of the formation Of the
company it was distinctly understood that
the association should pay rent Donations
and subscriptions for stock, to be used in the
erection of the building, were obtained
upon the representation of the officers of
the, association that the association pay
rent for the rooms they occupied and would
also guarantee the payment of interest or
dividend at the rate of six per cent. on the
stock. No dividends or interest have been
paid on the stock since1813. The company
owes $4,000, money borrowed on the Sc
curity of deed of trust on the building.
For the payment of interest, insurance, re-
pairs and the care Of the building, ETC., the
company has no resources except the rents.
If the association were allowed to occupy
the building free of rent the company
would be entirely unable to meets its liabil-

of the case, saying that all the symptoms at
present were of very favorable character,
and they had great hopes of the Presidents

so much better than he had been led to ex-

Special Dispatch to THE CRITIC.
NEW YORK; July 25.-Thc most of the
large bankers and stock traders in the street
and in the room, including Sage, Seligman,
Woerishoffer Garrison, Cammack, Conner,
Kennedy, Dickinson and others, were at
the West End HOTEL Long Branch, most
of the day yesterday, and the condition of
the President and his prospects for recovery
were the main important subjects Of interest
discussed, although the grain crop prospects
came in for a share of the debate. 1t was
thought the market for the present would
be more under the influence of the
Washington news from the White House
than anything else. 1t was stated by
brokers that Gould himself sold about
$4,000 Telegraph on Saturday, but Conner
emphatically denied this rumor
The latter, probably rejecting Goulds
opinion, said further that even in the event
of the death of the President he did not
think the further decline, IL any, would be
important, because prices have already de-
clined largely, and such a dcplorable result
has in measure been discounted. 1t was
reported that Drexel, Mohun & Co. bought
largely of the Wabash stocks of Gould
when the market was at the lowest ebb.
Cammack and Osborn were talking quite
bearish on the market yesterday, and it was
said they were the principal large sellers of
Erie on Saturday. In fact, the selling was
so general just after 2 p. m. that conserva-
tivcs say that about everybody appeared to be
selling until 2:45 p. M, when some Wander
bilt stocks were bought for long account,
and shorts began to come.
Some say that Camblos had an apparently
unlimited order to buy all the L. $. in the
market at price. The principal selling of
ID. l.. & w. was said to have been by Hughes,
Dickinson, Josepson, and Coombs for bear
party, but they covered up considerably be-
fore the board closed.
The st. Paul people claim they have the
right to issue $4,000 Of bonds per mile on
the completed road, and this they intend to
do as fast as the new line is constructed.
They are building now into important coal
fields, and the mortgages will DO on this
property. The New Jersey Central Rail-
road people say that the bear article Of
Barrett in the Herald of last week scarcely
contained correct figure, and the whole
argument was too silly to refute Fred.
Potts. the vice-president, says the company
will not even take the trouble to make an
answer to it. 1t was reported yesterday
that Gould borrowed S2,000000 last week
and put the money in stocks.
The Chicago Times of Saturday, just re-
ceived here, contains an important interview
with Vanderbilt in which the latter denied
the story that he desired to control a
through Pacific line on the contrary he Is
trying to lessen his cares, and denied that
anything was being done to end the railroad
war, and said his roads did not break the
rates, and he was simply following active
people. He didn't know who was respon-
siblc aud made 10 accusations, and said he
did not fear the new road, as no new COM
pany could parallel the Lake Shore system
without starving.
