WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The suit against
j. Ledyard Hodges of this city for nearly
half million dollars, which has just been
instituted by the government, brings to the
surface some curious recollections. Hodges
was paymaster in the army and had the
handling of good deal of funds. He was
stationed in Washington. About 1872 he
was ordered to some other port, and when
his accounts came to be adjusted he was
found to be over $780, 900 short. He con-
fessed frankly that he had undertaken to
speculate, and finding himself short had
put in more and more money to
try to recover what was lost until he found
almost half million dollars gone. He
turned over to the government everything
he had, was tried by cOurt-martial, found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary for
fifteen years and to pay fine Of $500, 900.
He had been but short time in the peniten-
tiary when President Grant pardoned him,
with the understanding that civil suit
should be entered to recover the sum for
which he detaulted. This case was never
brought, for some mysterious reason, until
turn out that the whole matter has lost its
standing in the courts by reason of the
statute of limitations. A curious feature
of this case at the time, and one which
renders it's present appearance the more
interesting. was the connection of
LANDAULET WILLIAMS
with it. Mr.. Williams was the attorney
general. There was an effort made to bring
action against Hodges brokers to recover
the sum, the most of which he had lost
with them, and this, it seems, was likely to
be done. 1t was not, however, and in the
investigations and developments which fol-
lowed it was charged that this firm induced
the attorney general to omit action against
them by the liberal use of money. 1t was
claimed that they not only paid money to
the wife of the attorney general. but that
they presented him with a fine team and a
landaulet for the use of his family. 1t was
this charge that gave him the soubriquet of
Landaulet Williams, and this too. which
finally drove him out of public life. Presi-
dent Grant nominated him tG be chief JUS
tice of the supreme court. but the senate
was not willing to confirm him, and in an
open letter he asked Grant to withdraw
his name, and he retired from public life.
He settled down to the practice of law
here. and soon went to Oregon, where he
has lived in political retirement until his
name came to the surface in the late sena-
torial struggle there. 1t is little odd that
this case, which brought him so much
trouble should have come to the surface
again SO soon after his temperance in po-
litical life

In the case of Monson against The City, the
jury gave the plaintiff $500 damages. He
asked for $4,000. The accident happened
April II, 1884, by the plaintiff being thrown
down by a broken board in the sidewalk.
Although the damages are out of proportion
to the injrry, yet this will doubtless open the
eyes Of the city fathers. j. H. Chapman

E. F. Soaring gave a reception from l to 2

The Red river has not been completely
frozen over as yet, but navigation closed the
second week in November, making the season
just six months. The footings of the bust
ness of the two small steamers for the season
are quite respectable and indicate that the
improvement of the navigation is worthy the
attention of congress. The steamer running
south from Fargo carried II, 1903 bushels of
wheat and good deal of wood and other ar
ticles, and the one north carried 223 ,273
bushels of wheat and 1,41S,500 pounds of
lumber and 1926 cords of wood. Elevators
have been established along the river and
nearly 100000 bushels of wheat marketed
from them through the steamers.

answered that she had married him without
loving him, at her fathers and his request;
that after marriage he had driven her from
him and forced her to enter upon life of
shame and that now he could die without
her. She refused to go. They were mar
ried in this city three years ago and had a
