Curious Will Case in New Jersey.

The Court of Appeals OF New Jersey recently
decided a will case that has caused much in
terest among a large class in the city of
Newark. The suit was an amicable one,
brought to obtain Judicial construction of the
Roman Catholic; but OF moderate views.
Having no heirs, he left the bulk OF his pro.
perty, about $4,000, to his executors Father
Gervais and General Runyon (the Mayor of
Newark), in trust, to establish an orphan
of the city OF Newark and to be called the ST.
James Roman Catholic Orphan AsYldm ami
hospital for sick and intirm persons. The trus-
tees were directed alter having established the
institutions, 10 apply for an act OF Incorporation
for their better management, one corporation
for both; bat until such incorporation should
be obtained, the trustees were to manage the
institutions themselves, The trustees one of
whom is a Methodist and the other a Itholic
priest of very liberal vie VS., construed the Will
10 mean that the teSlator intended TO found
charities of a non-sectarian Character and pro-
posed TO raise additional subscrip lions, and
erect an asylum and hospital that would be
credit TO the city. On the other hand, promi-
nent Roman Catholics supposed that the testa-
Tor wished the institutions to be under Roman
Catholic management, and therefore brought
institutions under Catholic control. The mat
ter was argued on behalf of Bishop b ally
Joseph p. Bradley. The latter contender that
the name by which the testator directed the
institution 10 he called indicated the character
which he wished impressed on thu institution,
and that this, taken in connection with the fact
that the testator was himself devout Roman
Catholic, was conclusive that he meant TO es-
tabish Roman Catholic institutions. On the
other hand IL was argued that. although the
testator directed the asylum to be called by that
name, he did not direct that the asylum or
hospital should be subject to denominR tonal
control; but simply gave his executors, one of
whom was Protestant, general power
to establish the institutions, and to
obtain charter for them, imposing on
of the Court stood to 6. Judge Depree read the
opinion of the majority, arguing that the be-
quest was simply eleemosynRry; the testator's
religious teneIs therefore of no consequence
that the Will must speak It's own intentions,
and that to say the orphan asylum "shall be
called ST. James Roman Catholic Orphan
Asylum" was not so clearly expressing the tes-
tator's intention as that the executors might
not properly put II under management entirely
secular, or under any government they might
choose Judge Biddle read the opinion OF Lhe
minority, claiming that the testator meant to
require a denominational management of the
institution,

PoTTsVILLE, July l0.-Every moment brings
intelligence tf the spreading of the strike
among the miners. The affair appears well
organized, but as yet there has been no dis.
turbance. This morning the rolling mills about
Tamaqua were visited by the miners, and the
workmen compelled to cease operations. 1t is
said that there Is no sympathy between the
iron men and The miners, yet no sooner do the
coal strikers visit mill than the men turn
out. The iron masters will suffer considerably,
and are alarmed. This morning the riotors
visited the laboring men on the railroad above
Pottsville, and drove them away. There is con-
siderable excitement among the people,

FROM BALTIMORE TODAY.
The Nominations Cast = Chill Upon the
DsmaCracy-A Bitter Disappointment
to the Faithful

10 thO
Special Despatch TO The EUening Tsleyraph,
BALTIMORE July l0-The nominations of the
New York Democratic Convention constitute
the topic OF general conversation here to-day,
with discussions and speculations as to the
future chances, etc. Though there has been
considerable effort to get up a show OF enthu.
siasm, still there is an evident undercurrent OF
deep disappointment, which prevails through
out the entire Democratic ranks,
The nomination OF Seymour nor Blair was
not anticipated nor desired. Hence, when the
announcements were made of their being
selected they fell fat, producing not even a
faint hurrah. Some powder bought, to rejoice
over Pendleton's nomination in a grand salute
was exploded last night, but it burnt badly
and made dull, heavy sound. The dlsap-
pointment at Pendletons defeat is universal.
whilst Blair's nomination gives q positive dis
satisfaction.
Some strong Democrats were heard, sui
lenly exclaimng. "we're sold OUT" ''we're
beaten now with such q load of broken-dowa
politicians; ""the Blairs cannot be trusted and
Seymour is played OUT" "there is too much
Yankee in one, and not enough of chIvaIry in
the oJher.'
The Gazette, which vehemently supported
Pendleton, groans at its defeat, and coldIy
turns without choice to the support OF the
nominees. The Sun seems fully satisfied. Toe

PRINCE OF WALES.
He Gives his Ideas the International
RelaIlons OF Il. & lnsd d nhd Anon loa.

From London, June 9th, the New York
Herdtd'S correspondent writes as follows:-
am authorized 10 state that the Prince of
Wales made some very Important semi official
neutrality-suspicious. To the levee which he
held at ST. James Palace yesterday, by COM
mand of the Queen-in regard to the American
policy of the British Cover ment.
The occasion was an interview granted by the
Prince to Bierstaut, The American painter, at
which Colonel SandeTson late OF the United
States Army, was also present. In the inspeo-
tion and commentator OF Mr. Bierstadt's new
pictures the Prince of Wales was Joined by the
Princess Louise, who happened To visit Marl-
borough House while the interview Was In
progress.
Referring to the account OF the preparations
for another Fenian invasion of Canada the
Prince OF Wales said:-'I nope that the United
StateS Government will be- sincere enough TO
persevere in It's form policy in regard to those
Fenians who attempt TO invade Canada. We
know that the American President elections
are imminent, and 1t Is said by some persons
that the politicians will be greatly influenced
by the irish voies.
''W e hope however, that the instincts OF inter-
national Justice will DC sufficient TO override
mere polllical consldera tioEs, and that such an
outrageous violation of the comfy OF nations
Canada will be prevented by the United States
authorities, who have always shown them
selves most prompt in tlelr obserVances Of
"a war between England and America" his
royal Highness added, would be abhorrent TO
every principle of Christianity and humanity,
and may say that such a war can never occur-
in the ordinary cou Sc of events. But while
such claims as those in regard TO the Alabama
are pending il would, of course, be an
act of folly TO allow such breaches of
treaty as an Invasion of Canada. since, on the
score of damages alone. The British Govern
ment would be able to make eclamations which
would more than counterbalsnce even the Ala
bama claims. The United states and England
are united by too many Don is to make war pos
sible; but for myself am nxious TO have every
point in dispute amicaoly settled. and the two
countries may then become one in policy, as
they already are, hrmly believe, In sentiment
and origin"
The Prince OF Wales spoke with the greatest
possible earnestness, and with much animation
and even elouuence
