Two Dandies.

Charles J. Bonaparte and Charles C. Rhodes Blacken Each Others Eyes.

[New York Sun.]

Baltimore, July 7. — Lawyer Charles J. Bonaparte, grand-nephew of the great Napoleon, brother of Colonel Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, of New York, and member of the Civil Service Reform Association, spent the greater part of this afternoon making intermittent application or ice-water to a black lump on his left temple. Lawyer Charles C. Rhodes, the cause of Lawyer Bonaparte's partial disfigurement, went to bed with a bread poultice on his forehead just over his nose.

Just before noon to-day Lawyers Rhodes, Bonaparte and Thomas Owings met in the Circuit Court. Each was after the docket to see whether Lawyer Owings was entered as counsel in a certain suit then pending. While discussing the tactics adopted by the defense, Lawyer Rhodes said:

“It's just one of those tricks of Bonaparte's.”

“Well, now, Rhodes.” said Lawyer Bonaparte, “you know that you inveigled that poor old woman into your office, and got her to sign that mortgage or her interest in her husband's estate.”

“Whoever said so lied,” Lawyer Rhodes exclaimed.

“Bang went lawyer Bonaparte's clinched fist on Lawyer Rhodes' forehead. Lawyer Rhodes returned the blow with one on the body. Lawyer Bonaparte was about to strike again when a newspaper man pinioned his arms. Lawyer Owings meanwhile grabbed Lawyer Rhodes, who shouted, “Let me go at your peril.” Owings let go, and Lawyer Rhodes planted his knuckles squarely on Lawyer Bonaparte's temples, bruising him, but failing to draw blood. Several other lawyers then rushed in and separated the combatants. They afterward made mutual apologies.
