OONKLING'S ESTATE, A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer, October 18, says: It is whispered in legal circles thatthe executors of the late ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling have had a demand made upon them by representatives of Mra. Kate Chase Sprague which may lead to one of the most sensational historical law suits t the country has ever known. The story, as it es to me from the lady's side, is that on the death of her father, the late Chief Jus- tice Salmon P. Chase, there was left in Senator Sonkling’s hands for Mrs. Sprague, a considerable number of valuable securities. “The Chief Justice ‘and Senator Conkling were w: rsoual friends, and the judge relied upon the Senator's friendship and judgment to protect his daughter's in- terests, “Senator Conkling changed these iovestmenta, His judgment resulted in a heavy lose of, value, within two or three ears, and eventually .comne ceased, and Rew securities which he had purchased’ became Practically valueless, ‘The Senator evidently felt some moral obligation to secure Mrs. Sprague 1s sald to have paid regularly against loss, for from his owp t an amount equal to the former incomé on the investment. This payment ‘Was continued until two years before his death, and then stopped without any explanation. Mra. Sprague referred the matter to another old friend of het father, the lave c. W. Moulton, who was the brother-in-law of Senator “Sherman, and General Sherman. “Mr. Moulton died about a year ago.
