Louisville Lawyers Fees,

"The largest fee ever paid to men,
Der of the Louisville bar, so far as ev-
er heard" said prominent lawyer re-
Gently, 'was something over $50, 600.
j. b. Stewart was the lucky man, and
up to that time he was considered o
very ordinary practitioner, but that fee
made his fame and fortune. He was
counsel in a suit brought about 1852 or
1868, do not remember which, TO set
aside the deeds to all that property OF
which Cave Hill and New Broadway is
now part. He engaged Judge Rob-
ertson, and, | believe, Henry Clay, to
assist him. They won the suit, and af-
ter he had divided with them he had a
comfortable fortune left for his own
fee. He is now in Washington and is a
wealthy man.
Another big fee was paid TO Judges
Harlan and Wood by William Will
liams, Jr., in a suit by him to set aside
a resulting trust made by him to his
father. The case was very remarka-
bic one, and the decision, which was
in favor of the plaintiff, while it recog-
nized the statute in regard to resulting
trusts, established the doctrine of oral
trusts. think the case is reported in
9th Bush, and | remember that | once
won case in Bullitt county on the pre-
cedent established by the decision.
The fee in this case amounted to $780,
OO0.n
A bigger fee than either Of these was
once received by Louisville lawyer,
however, The lucky man was Colonel
Bob Woolley, and the client who paid
it was Gen. Simon b. Buckner, who
was such strong candidate for gov
ernor last year. Before the war Gen.
Buckner was an officer in the regular
army. He owned large amount OF
real estate in Chicago. As soon as hos
tilities began he went south, and when
ii was over he came out with the stars
of q lieutenant general. To save his
property from coniiScation he made il
over in trust to friend. When the
war was over some hitch came up and
he found himself unable to reclaim it.
A million dollars was involved and the
general brought suit. Col. Woolley
was his counsel, and after hard strug
Gle the generals property was restored
to him by due process of law. Colone
Woolley received $4,000 as his fee il
the case, and is probably the larges
one ever received by a Louisville law
yer. -L0uiSUjlLe COarier-J0urRal.

A rain in Cuba is n sight worth see
ING. An American traveller on train
between Mantanzas and Havana de-
scribes what the natives call an ordi-
nary shower. 1.-The sun was blazing
down. he says, 1.-The cattle were pant
inc in the shade of bushes and build
| ings, and the breeze that played across
| the cane fields was an aggravation.
| The cars had pulled up at station.
Flop, came something like bucket Of
water;splash sounded another fall OF
rain; flop, flop, splash, came moro gi-
gantic drops, and then the heavens
opened and the rains descended and
the floods came in manner most
startling to a New Yorker, who rcmem-
bers the one or two fierce rains at home
during the summer, and is bound to
admit that the seyerest of them would
not rank as q genuine drizzle in COM
parison with this shower. Down came
the rain in one vast sheet, not with the
patter or the beating sound that rain
sometimes has, but with the roar and
unbroken splash of the milldam' S tum-
bling waters. 1t all came in five Sec
onds In that time the horizan ran in
ward until the outer limits of vision
formed circle smaller than Bowling
Green. There were no intervening
slanting lines of rain drops. There
were layers instead. When the wind
was still, one could see the rain falling
in fiat sheets. When the wind arose
the strata of water in the air waved
and trembled or broke and blended.
Without interruption came the two ac-
companying sounds-the rush and roar
in the air and the splashing on the
ground. Enormous palm branches
came tumbling down, two or three alta
time, and, striking close to the cars,
floated down the railroad cutting, for
the ground could not begin to absorb
the water as it fell, and so it rose and
deepened above ground until the train
stood in lake, into which water from
the higher level poured over the edges
of the shallow road-cutting." This
rain lasted twenty minutes. The sun
again shone brightly, and proceeded to
drink up the flood that had been pour
ed down.

The Woman Who Beat Ferd Ward.

at me until put $500 into their gov
eminent contracts. Pretty soon | drew
out $1,000. Then | put it back, and
there came out ST. 800. Back this went,
and out $4,000. This seemed like pick
ing black berries. Back it went. and
out it came again, just as natural, and
so | sent it back again, and it doubled
the whole business doubled. 1t beat

in again, and the bigger got the more
it seemed to grow. 1t was just like
rolling off log. All had to do was
to put the money back, and out it came
increased every time. Well, it went
along, and my wife and were tremen-
dously excited. 1t was better than q
horse race with the racers neck and
neck on the last quarter. At last my
$500 had grown to $40, 500. Then my
wife said: Take out that $4,000. It's
my speculation, and claim that mon
ey. We will have brown-stone house
before next Sunday l told her she
was crazy, and Twas never so mad at
her in my life. She insisted that we
should take our profits and leave in the
original capital. There was a level
head for you, | see it all now, but l
felt very sheepish when | called on
Grant q Ward for my $4,000. told
Ward his business beat anything that
human brain ever conceived, and that

that thought my wife was about the
biggest goose that ever lived; that she

expressed my determination to leave in
the original capital, and promised him
that would never draw it out until he
said So HAS he ever said SOP"
