TWO TRICKY CLIENTS.
They Settle Their Own Cases and Leave Their
Attorneys Ont in the Cold,

Attorneys Uut IN thc tOlu.
It is not often that Washington lawyers per-
init their clients to get the best of them. but
two distressing cases of that sort have recently
come to light. Charles o. Lemont sued tho
Washington and Georgetown Railroad com.
pany long time ago for heavy damages for
injuries received when he was put of one Of
the company's cars. Mcssrs lIinkle and Nc
Phcrson were his attorneys, and had twice OBJ
tanned verdict for quite n large sum, but
both yer diets had been set aside by the court
In general term. Pending n third trial. Lo-
mont went to New York and by arrangement,
there met the president of the railroad COM
pany. A compromise of the case was Ell
fectcd, his counsel having 10 knowledge or
suspicion Of the meeting. lie was paid the
sum Of money agreed upon and Immediately
atterward sailed for Europe, leaving his attor'
neys TO whistle for their puy. When the dis
covcry was made the attorneys tried TO get the
court TO direct the company to pay them their
percentage of the amount on which lhc com
promise was made, but the court declined 10
do SO.
The other cases was even more disgusting to
hel1wyers ON the Goth Of March last Mc'srs.
G. $. Moore and Campbell Darlington, MS nl.
tornCys for Jacob s. Norris, entered suit
against the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad com
pany TO recover $1,000 damages. Norris WIS
In the employ of the express department of the
company and while unloading boxes rom u

employees the train was started and he was
badly crushed. lie secured the attorneys
named to prosecute his case and give them
power of attorney to prosecute or compromise
the case as they might deem best, and they
were. TO receive one.thrd OF the amount Tor
which the compromise was made, II made or
II any judgment secured.
The papers were all prepared suit entered,
and there the plaintiffs rested until tho other
side was heard lrom. As the summer recess
was about over and regular work would soon
be resumed in the court Mr. Moore yesterday
stepped into the clerks oilice Tor the purpose
of seeing whether or not II demurrer had been
filed. The entry on the docket "knockcd him
out" in the second. lie found under date of
April II, three weeks after the institution of
the suit, the words Settled by plaintiff"
This was the first mtimaton that the attorneys
had that their client had taken his case into
his own hands. They were preparing for trial
and the knowledge that they have been sold
OUT Is naturally rather dispiriting.

The Result in Maine.

New York Evening Post Qnd. Rep.)
The simple facts in the case are that
after campaign which on the re
publican side exceeded in energy,
thoroughness and eXtravagant outlay
any that even Maine has ever seen,
and on the democratic side amounted
to no canvass worth mentioning, Mr..
Blaine's own state has given the re-
publican candidate, who was already
strong in having proved most
worthy executive, an increased repub-
Ican vote of nearly 1000. The demo-
Gratis have, from the outset, taken the
ground that Maine was republican
state and that Mr.. Blaine was quite
welcome to hurrah over it. We are
unable to see, as we said yesterday,
that plurality of even 10000 would
under these circumstances, help Mr..
Blaine's prospects in other states.
The noise over it will subside pres
emily and it will then be seen that the
situation is the same as it was before.
The ianti-Blaine republicans in this
and other states are not going to
change their estimate of Mr.. Blaine'S
character because the republicans OF
Maine take more charitable view OF
it than they have been able to.
/ In several ways the vote of Maine
will tend to weaken his canvass.
! There is no sign of the promised labor
or Irish vote in his favor any more
than there was in Vermont; but an
ominous sign that the protection
dodge" is not working well this yeal
is found in the fact that several fac
tory towns, including Biddeford and
/ Lewiston, have reversed their usual
republican majorities and have gone
democratic. The laboring man is dis
covering that protective system
which promises him high wages but
does not give him work is a doubtful
kind of blessing. Then there is th'
enormous majority of 60,0O0-th'
figures which reach us as we go t.
press-for the Iron-ciad prohibition
amendment. That is not going II
lessen the anti-prohibition opposition
to Blaine in the west, and neither i
the characteristic speech which b
made last night in defense of hi
course in "dodgipg" a vote on th
amendment going to help him wit
:. either the advocates or opponents o
prohibition.

ST. LOUIS, September 16.-In view
of the existence of pleuro-pneumonia
among Jersey cattle in different sec
tions of the country, the board of di-
-rectors of the st. Louis Fair associa-
tion decided to exclude them from ex-
hibition at their fair this year. 9th
erwise the fair, which opens October
6, promises to rival, if not excel, any
previous exhibition. Entries of all
descriptionsIare pouring in from all
sections of the country, and nearly all
the space in every department is al
ready taken. The number of exhibit
ors will exceed those of any previous
year, and large proportion of them
will be new ones, clearly showing
that interest in the fair is increasing
instead of diminishing, and also prov
ing that the great exposition recently
opened in the heart of the city is in
no manner distractlng attention from

The Boudinot Case-Attempting to Lease

ST. LOUIS, September 16-In the
case of Col. E. G. Boudinot against
Robert d. Hinter, A. G.. Evans and
HI. L. Newman, the well known cattle
men, to recover $1,000 as penalty for
attempting to lease grazing lands
from the Cherokee Indians in viola
tion of the United States statutes,
Judge Brewer, of the United States
circuit court, to-day rendered a deci-
sian on demurrer of defendants that a
mere attempt to negotiate a lease of
the lands was not a violation Of the
statutes, and dismissed complaint.
Hunt er Sld ass0 ciates leased some
six ln!i.io ;.tf, cf land from the
chief OF tho Cherokee nation for graz
ing purposes, and, although Judge
Brewer states in his decision, that the
validity of the lease, so obtained, and
the question whether they can be
reached, was not before the court.
The defendants consider they have
won great victory, and that the
decision of to-day virtually settles the
question of their right to lease land
from the Indians, and they will go on
and establish their ranches and Craze
their cattle. Four other suits against
the same parties involving the same
questions were ordered to follow this
