uNPLEAsANTNEss PREDICTED.
A Special Correspondent Looks Eos
Blood In the Court Room.

CHICAGO, Nov. %. The New York corr
respondent of The Herald says: Allow me to
predict that, sooner or later, fight will
occur between two men that the newspapers
will be bound to direct a great deal OF pub
lie attention to. One of the contestants will
be ex-senator Roscoe Conkling, and the
place courtroom My expectation is based
on conditions that can hardly fail to make
good this prophesy, and l ann by no
means alone in taking such view of them.
Conkling is the most aggravatingly insulting
man who ever figured at the bar. The Ian
guage that he uses toward opposing lawyers
and witnesses does not look like much, when
published, either for wit or caustioity. but as
he utters it the only reply that at the flush Of
the moment seems proper is a blow. He is
physically stalwart, and, though the old
story of his victorious boxing match with a
professional prize fighter has been denied by
him, there is no doubt that he is strong ard
slIillful with his fists. A knowledge of his
ability in that line no doubt serves to pre-
vent personal attacks, and the restraint
which court decorum imposes is a
further safeguard for his insolence. But
some man without fear of retributive fist or
judge is sure, one of these days, to knock
Conkling's supercillious smile into ruins. So
runs the talk of the bar, ami he never appears
in court that row is not anticipated. OF
course, his exasperating aggressiveness,
though unfortunately Distinguishing, is not
his foremost quality Old practitioners tell
me that his arguments ON appeal are ex-
ceeded i'll soundness by nobody's, that his
work in other than jury trials is well worth
its immense cost, and that few years of re-
tirement from politics will make him wealthy.
The story goes that he has put his financial
mark up to the half-milhon notch, and will
keep on firing until he hits it. Then he will
go back to the more ambitious sport of pol
iticS.

AN ENTERPRlSlNG WOMAN.
Mrs. B0lander's Successful Forgery
of Her Eusband's signature.

CINCINNATI, No. 27.-Last week, L. A.
Bolander and his father, living opposite
Augusta, KY, in Brown county, Ohio. sold
their crop Of tobacco to P. D. & A. Lerch,
who gave check on the bank of Allen Har-
bosom & Co., of this place, for S1,165
payable to old man Bolander for the same.
On last Tuesday Mrs. Bolander, wife of L.
A. Bolander, made her appearance at
the bank and presented a check purporting
to have been signed by her husband for $3.50.
She was informed by the officer of the bank
that her husband had no money on deposit in
the bank, but that her father-in law had
some there. She then returned home and in
few days reappeared with check for $3.50,
purporting to have been signed by
her father-in-lav, which the bank
officials Immediately cashed. When L.
A. Bolander returned from his work
on Thursday evening he found a
letter from his wife, telling him that she had
got $3.50 from the bank, had taken her young
est child and left him, and for him not to try
to find her as she had determined to leave
him, and that he would never see her again.
Mr.. Bolander and his father went over to
Auguita Friday, and as soon as the check was
shown to them it was at once pronounced a
forgery. The family has always borne q
good reputation, and as this was the first
stain they concluded to pay the check and
keep the thing quiet.
