CONKLING'S DAILY LIFE.

New York Star.
He occupied apartments in West
Twenty-fOurth street in a brown stone
building, an adjunct to the Hoffman
House Here he could be found every
night deeply engrossed in legal studies
and often daylight found him pondering
over his books. He was engaged in in
Vulnerable cases of Importance. and his
endeavors to do justice TO his work re-
suited in an overtaXed brain, and the
running down of his system. These
were the primal causes of his death.
Mr.. Conkling was a man of simple
habits. He arose every morning at
about 10 o'clock. Half an hour later he
could be found at the New York Club
where he took all his meals, eating a sol
itary breakfast. He was generally at
his Office by 1870, excepting when his
appearance in Court was necessary at an
earlier hour. Once seated at his desk
he labored without intermission until 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. At that hour
he threw aside all business and allowed
himself short respite from care.
He never patrOniZed the elevated rail
roads, and seldom INDUCED in the Iuxu-
ry of cab. He preferred the surface
cars as a mode of conveyance to and
from his Office. After arriving up town
he was accustomed to take spin along
the bOulevards or through Central Park
behind team of thoroughbred horses.
He was fond of horses. and he had sew
eral fine ones in his stable. They knew
him as their friend, and neighed when
ever he approached their stalls.
On returning from his drive Mr.. Conk-
ling partOok of a simple dinner at the
club, sometimes inviting fellow meln-
Der to join in his repaSt. \ cigar and
an honr's chat followed, and then his
nights work began. Day after day he
followed this same programme with
scarcely a variation.
Occasionally lac would stroll into the
corridor of the Hoffman House or Fifth
Avenue Hotel and finish his smoke while
conversing with the politicians who
nightly haunt those places. When in
such company he would indulge his vein
of sarcasm.
Although much has been said and
written about Mr.. Conkling as an ath-
lete, during his latter days he was so
much engrossed in his law business that
he abandoned the rigor of his habits.
He was sometimes to be found at the
New York Athletic Club, boxing skill
fully with the professor of the club or
swimming in the huge tank. These ex-
ercises, however, became less and less
frequent and were finally all but given
up.
1t is estimated among lawyers that
Mr.. Conkling enjoyed an income from
his practice Of over 100000 annually.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10. 1888.

THE death of Roscoe CoNKLING re
moves one Of the foremost figures from
American politics. As debater, he
had no equal in the country. His speech
in the Senate in support of the Four
teenth Amendment TO the Constitution
will rank in history alongside Of that of
Webster in reply to Hayne. As leader
although alstere and dictatorial-
what man could have held the 1906" at
Chicago, in 1889, as he did: Mr. Conk-
ling was sorely disappointelat the nom
ilation of Garfield, bat he supported
him Loyalty. When the administration
appointed Robe t5on, one of his bitter
enemies. Collector of the port of New
York, he resigned his place in the Sen
ate, and has siace taken little part in
public affairs.
Mr.. Conkling was 80 years of age.

AT the beginning of the present term
of the Common Pleas, after the grand
jury had been sworn and commenced its
work. one of the jurors was excused,
and his place filled. This is deemed
doubtful proceeding by some lawyers.
and, in the eases of a number of liquor
sellers indicted by that grand jury and
afterward convicted, the question Of the
regularity and lawfulness of a grand
jury SO organized wall be carried TO the
Circuit Court 1t is an interesting ques-
tion, and its determination will be
watched with some curiosity. True,
twelve men of a grand jury are all that
are necessary to fGd an indictment; but
does it necessarily follow that Irregular
ity in filling three of the seats in that
body will in no way yitiate its findings?
If so, why fill the place Of the excused
Juror?

State Muster.

Gen. II. VI. Mitchell of Bangor, was in
the city yesterday in consultation with Adjt.
Gen. Gallagher, upon the question of location
of muster field. During the day they to
gether visited the Mulllken farm, at the point
where Capt. keyes was located during the
war
The general impression is that the State
grounds will be much more convenient for
the muster, and they will be selected for
that purpose. 1t is understood that arrange
ments have been made to change the date for
the horse races that were to occur at the
park during muster week.
Tents, poles, and other military equip
ments which have been stored for the past
year at the Bangor arsenal have been brought
to Augusta, and the camp floors are also soon
to be brought over.
| There is much work to be done prior to the
eneampment, and Gen. Gallagher will be a
busy official for the next few weeks
Arrangements must be made with rail
roads for transportation of troops; with bak
ers, for bread, and hundreds of things attend
ell to, which a muster entails upon those
having charge of details.
