BOODlER-' INDICTED.

Two of Chicago's Aldermen Charged With soliciting Bribes. CHICAGO, July 13.—Late yesterday afternoon the special grain jury called to investigate corruption in the city council relative to the Alderman Martini ordinance voted to indict Alderman William Finkler on two charges of soliciting bribes and Alderman Charles Martin on similar charges. Tliese "true bills" are expected to be re&urned to Judge Tuthiil.

Fred L. Rabe, an ice dealer, told the grand jury that Alderman Martin demanded $500 from him and upon this representation one of the indictmenis was found.

The other indictments against Alderman Martin were found on the testimony of J. P. Smith of J. P. Smith & Company. Alderman Finkler was indicted on the evidence furnished by J. H. Williams of the Washington Ice company and C. G. Shedd and E. H. Sliedd of the Knickerbocker Ice company. These men toid of the dealings in Alderman Finkler's office, during which the price asked dwindled from $50,000 in a lump to $750 for each of the companies and what could be gotten out of the smaller companies.

This Was overruled. The defense then announced that it would offer no evidence. This indicates their belief in the failure of the state to make a case. The rest of the day was taken up by arguments of Attorney Dunn foE the state.

OHIO RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

Annual Report of Colonel Amos Stickney in Charge of the Work. WASHINGTON, July 13.—Colonel Amos Stickney, iu charge of the improvements of the Ohio river, has made his annual report. He says the general plans of the improvement of this waterway is to secure an additional depth at the islands and bars by the construction of low dams and chutes and by building dikes where the river is wide and shallow, so as to confine the flow to a smaller section and by dredging.

A radical improvement of the upper part of the river has been commenced by the construction of a lock and moveable dam at Davis island, five miles below Pittsburg, and another lock at Beaver, 29 1-2 miles from Pittsburg. Other works in progress duriug the year were dikes at Logstown bar, Cluster's island, dam at the head of Marietta island, dike at Blenerliassett island, dikes at Guyandotte bar, dikes at Mocloc bar, Gunpowder bar, Flint island, French island, Yanda reef and Falls Slough crossing, Scufiletown bar, Dut oft' near Evansville, Ind., Three Mile island, levee at Shawneetown, Ills., dikes at Trade water river, Mound City, Ills.

The harbor lines at Pittsburg have been approved and the reports for Cincinnati harbor lines are now being prepared. This will complete the work, except the necessary surveys for and placing of monuments for locating the lines. There are three highwater drawbridges on the Ohio river, but no record has been kept of the Ohio Falls bridge while the other two were not opened during the seasons. These draws are made necessary on all bridges below Cincinnati. They are compelled to have draws unless they are 53 feet above the water. Other bridges are 40 feet high.

Colonel Stickney does not submit any special estimates for continuing the improvements. There were $133,031 expended during the last year.

Incidents of His Career as a Lawyer.

HIS HABIT OP EEADTO ALOUD.

How He Appeared at the Bar—His First Meeting With Edwin M. Stanton—Stanton's Idea of Lincoln at the Time—An

Unfortunate Case.

[From "The Life of Lincoln" by William H. Hcrndon jukI Jcs.-X! W. Woik. Copyright, 1838, by Jesse W. Vveik. Copyright, 1S92, by D. Apploton & Co.

XVIII.

A law office is a dull, dry place, so far as pleasurable or interesting incidents are concerned. If one is in search of stories of fraud, deceit, cruelty, broken promises, blasted homes, there is no better place to learn them than a law office. But to the majority of persons these painful recitals are anything but attractive, and it is well perhaps that it should bo so. In the office, as in the courtroom, Lincoln, when discussing any point, was never arbitrary or insinuating. Ho was deferential, cool, patient and respectful. When he reached the office, about 9 o'clock in the morning, the first thing he did was to pick up a newspaper, spread himself out on an old sofa, one leg on a chair, and read aloud, much to my discomfort. Singularly enough, Lincoln never read

HIS FICST I.AW OFFICE.

any other wa}* but aloud. This habit used to annoy mo almost beyond the point of endurance. I once asked him why ho did so. This was his explanation: "When I read aloud, two senses catch the idea—first, I see what I read second, I hear it, and thereforo I can remember it better.

He never studied lawbooks unless a case was on hand for consideration, never followed up the decisions of the supreme courts, as other lawyers did. It seemed as if he depended for his effectiveness in managing a lawsuit entirely on the stimulus and inspiration of the final hour. He paid but little attention to the fees and money matters of the firm, usually leaving all such to me. He never entered an item in the account book. If any one paid money to him which belonged to the firm, on arriving at the office he divided it with me. If I was not there, he would wrap up my share in a piece of paper and place it in my drawer, marking it with a pencil: "Case of Roe versus Doe. Herndon's half."

As a Talker and Listener

On many topics ho was not a good conversationist, because ho felt that he was not learned enough. Neither was lie a good listener. Putting it a little strongly, ho was not often even polite. If present with others or participating in a conversation, ho was rather abrupt, and in his anxiety to say something apt or to illustrate the subject under discussion would burst in with a stoiy. In our offico 1 have known him to consume the whole forenoon relating stories. If a man came to see him for tho jjurpose of finding out something which ho did not caro to let him know and at the sarno time did not want to refuse him, he was very adroit. In such cases Lincoln would do most of the talking, swinging around what he suspected was the vital point, but never nearingit, interlarding his answers with a seemingly endless supply of stories and jokes. The interview being both interesting and pleasant, the man would depart in good humor, believing he had accomplished his mission. After he had walked away a few squares and had cooled off the question would come up, "Well, what did I find out?" Blowing away the froth of Lincoln's humorous narratives, he would find nothing substantial left. "As he entered the trial," relates one of his colleagues at the bar, "where most lawyers would object he would say he 'reckoned' it would be fair to let this in or that, and sometimes, when his adversary could not quite prove what Lincoln knew to be the truth, he 'reckoned' it would be fair to admit the truth to be so and so. When he did object to the court, and when he heard his objections answered, ho would often say, 'Well, I reckon I must be wrong.' Now, about the time he had- practiced this threefourths through the case, if his adversary didn't understand him, he would wake up in a few minutes, learning that he had feared the Greeks too late, and find himself beaten. He was wise as a serpent in the trial of a cause, but I had had too many scares from his blows to certify that he was harmless as a dove. When the whole thing was unraveled, the adversary would begin to see that what he was so blandly giving away Was simply what he couldn't get and keep. By giving away six points and carrying the seventh he carried his case and the whole case hanging on the seventh he traded away everything which would give him the least aid in. carrying/that. Any man who took Lincoln for a simple minded man would. very goon wake up with his back in a ditch." sHis Power as a Lawyer..'

Lincoln's restless ambition found its gratification only in the field of politics. He used the law merely as a stepping gtone to what he considered afmore attractive condition in the political world. In the allurements held out by the latter he seemed to be happy. Nothing in Lincoln 'a life had provoked more discus-

sion than the question of his ability as a lawyer. I --v^i.-r'auteri in saying that he was at tho ganio time a very great and a very insignificant lawyer.

Iu tho summer of 1357 Lincoln was employed by Mr M:umy of Rockford, Ills., to defend him in an action brought by McCormick, who was ono of the inventors of the reaping machine, for infringement of patent. Lincoln had been recommended to Manny by E. B. Washburn, then a member of congress from northern Illinois. The case was to be tried before Judge McLean, at Cincinnati, in the circuit court of the United States. The counsel for McCormick was Reverdy Johnson. Edwin M. Stanton and George Harding of Philadelphia were associated on the other side with Lincoln. The latter came to Cincinnati a few days before the argument took place and stopped at the house of a friend. "The case was one of great importance pecuniarily," relates a lawyer in Cincinnati who was a member of the bar at the time, "and in the law questions involved. Reverdy Johnson represented the plaintiff. Mr. Lincoln had prepared himself with the greatest care. His ambition was up to speak in the case and to measure swords with the renowned lawysr from Baltimore. It was understood between his client and himself before his coming that Mr/ Harding of Philadelphia was to be as-" sociated with him in the case and was to mako the 'mechanical argument.' ,it

He Meets Stanton. J?

"After reaching Cincinnati Mr. Lincoln was a little surprised and annoyed to learn that his client had als© associated with him Mr. Edwin M. Stanton of Pittsburg and a lawyer of our own bar, the reason assigned being that the importance of the case required a man of the experience and power of Mr. StanIon to meet Mr. Johnson. The Cincinnati lawyer was appointed for his 'local influence These reasons did not remove tho slight conveyed in the employment without consultation with him of this additional counsel. He keenly felt it, but acquiesced. The trial oi the case camo on. Tho counsel for defense met each morning for consultation. "On one of these occasions one of the counsel moved that only two of thenl\\ should speak in the case. This matter' was also acquiesced in. It had always been understood that Mr. Harding was to speak to explain tho mechanism of the reapers. So this motion excluded either Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Stanton—§| which? By the custom of the bar, as between counsel of equal standing and in^ the absence of any action of the client,i the original counsel speaks. By this rule Mr. Lincoln had precedence. Mr. Stan-j| ton suggested to Mr. Lincoln to inaketi tho speech. Mr. Lincoln answered, 'No, you speak.' Mr. Stauton replied, *J§ will,' and taking up his hat said he| would go and make preparation. Mr.Lincoln acquiesced 'in this, but wasgreatly grieved and mortified. He took|| but little more interest in the case,| though remaining until the conclusion? of the trial. He seemed to be greatlyi depressed and gave evidence of that tendency to melancholy which so marked his character. His parting on leavingf the city cannot be forgotten. Cordially shaking the hand of his hostess, he said: 'You have made my stay here most agreeable, and I am a thousand times obliged to yon, but in reply to your request for mo to come again I must say* to you I never expect to bo in Cincin-js, nati again.
