Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1872-08-15

In the Circuit Court at Chicago, on
Monday, in the Chee.ey case, Judge
Williams Overruled the demurrer filed
by the defendants, but refused to grant
a temporary injunction to- restrain the
vestrymen from divertiug the funds OF
the parish to the support o. the depos
ed rector. The decision was upon
bill filed by certain members of the
Episcopal Church against Charles E.
Cheney, rector, and the yestrymen
and wardens of said church. praying
for preliminary injunction restraining
Cheney from officiating as minister
and the wardens and vesJrynen from
permitting his mlnistratlol, and from
using the revenues Of the parish for
his support. The defendants filed
their several demurrers to the bill Of
complaint. The rector ana the trea-
surer, in their demurrers. allege that
the bill is defective fer want of equity,
and for want of proper parties The
opinion of the court is a very
lengthy and exhaustive review
of the entire case, together
with the arguments of the counsel, and,
while it overrules the demurrers of the
defendants, denies the application for
a temporary injunction. The effect OF
this intermediate decision Is to contln-
ne the Rev. Cheney III his ministra-
tons IN the parish of Christ Church
for the present, and pending the de-
cision upon the application Tor per,
manent injunction, which case VIII
come up in its regular term on the
court docket The main point IN the
decision denying the temporary inlunc'
ton appears to be that there can be no
pressing necessity for the immediate
serving of the bond because Cheney
and his parish are opposed to
such action. The court argues that
under such circumstances such action
could result only in pecunlary loss 10
the parish, and that as the pecunlary
rights of the defendants and the church
majority they represent are not larger
than those represented by the COM
piainauts, the property interests OF tlle
complainants can be but slightly pref
udiced by refusing to grant the motion
for preliminary injunction, whlle
those of the defendants might be most
iniuriouslv and perhaps permanently
affected by its allowance. The hnal
decision in this matter viii not DC
reached until the case comes up IL
regular order on the motion for per
manent Injunction.

From the Hartford Times,
The funeral of Mrs. Maver W.T.

short prayer, which was read in H.
brew by Rabbi Mayer, the BODY W.,

the service. On reaching the grave
which had been dug by the sons OF tba
dead woman, the lid of the coffin was
raised and the features OF the deceased
once more exposed. 4 bag of whit
linen was filed with earth by the rela.
tives, and placed under the head of the
corpse in the place of the pillow, which
was removed. Small packages of earth
from the Holy Land, which the de-.
ceased had kept for this purpose TWEEN.
ty-two years, were placed over the ewes
and over the stilled heart. The wind.

coffin, and the relatives strewed it with
beautiful white flowers The afflicted
husband and father made the conclud.
ing prayer, and pronounced a feeling
eulogy on his beloved wife, amid the
tears and sobs of those cOngregated
around the grave. This finished, he
took knife and cut the lappels of his
coat and vest, and also those of his
four sons, and a lady cut the garments
of the mourning daughter. This is
typical of the 1enuing of garments -
spoken of in the Bible. and concluded
the services at the grave, which was
gently filled by the sons and relatives
of the deceased, and the mound GOV.
cred with choice flowers.
Mrs. Mayer was lady of culture and
refinement, and was dearly beloved in
her family, and by many friends.

Seymour and an interview of Carmichael and
Greeley. saving he (Seymour) was more favor
ably impressed with the turn OF matters, with
which he seemed satisfied mentioned the tar
if question, and said che best way was TO
leave the issue vague one as Carmichael had
proposed, so as to unite persons OF different
views in the coalition movement, suggested
that if Greeley favored this IL would smooth
the way to the end. Opponents strong i'm
preston is that Greeley's candidacy was men
toned, but of that he does not say positively.
The time when tins letter was read by de-
ponent was about the last OF March or the first
Of April, 1872.
Tie subject had previously been brought to
deponent's attention by Carmichael but when
the letters were shown, particularly Greeleys
letters. deponent thought the matter almost too
absurd for notice but after the Cincinnati
nomination he understood their Importance,
and endeavored to procure copies. DE would
have exposed the matter, except that he had
hopes Of procuring the letters, Or copies OF
them.
Deponent was informed, in December, 1871,
from the statement of Carmichael, that Greeley
had promised Carmichael The tone Of The Tribune
,coud Exchanged about the first tHte year, 1872 !;
and that deponent on noticing, saw the change,
which statement of Carmichael deponent can
prove on competent testimony OF pubic OH
Ger. Deponent further remembers that III one
OF Greeleys letters Chase was mentioned as
new feeble aud broken down. Deponent makes
this statement on his honor as citizen !; and
because he believes the facts he has mentioned
should be exposed. l.. Il. IRELAND.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.
DisraeII and the Treaty OF Washington Sir
eharIss Dixie Asked to Explain.

LONDON, February 6.-There was a
full attendance of the members at the
assembling of the house of commons
to-day.
After that body had returned from
the house of lords, the usual bill for
the abolition of the game laws, uni
versity tests, excise, etc., were pre-
sented.
DR.. Donald Dalrymple, member
from Bath, introduced resolution for
the amelioration Of the condition OF
inebriates. -
Frederick A. Milbank, member for
the North Riding Of Yorkshire, gave
notice of his intention to offer resol0-
ton asking Sir Charles Dixie il he ad-
heres to the sentiments expressed in
his speeches, delivered at Newcastle
and other places during the recess Of
parliament.
Mr.. Disraeli then rose and called
the attention Of the house to a para
graph of the royal speech in reference
to the arbitration of the Alabama
claims. He animadverted at some
length upon. the Treaty Of Washing
ton, for the faults of which he blamed
the foreign secretary, Earl Granville
and Premier Gladstone, in view OF
the developements which have been
made by the assemblage of arbitrators
at Geneva. Mr.. Disraeli wanted to
know why the government was ex-
ultant over the ediflcatiOn 1t had Civ
en- to parliament on the subject. The
royal speech was signally unsatisfac-
tory, and showed, in his own opinion,
that the government still lacked a
proper appreciation Of the gravity of
the question at issue between Eng
land and the United States. The Amer
ican claims were greater than those
which would follow total conquest.
They were preposterOus and unprac-
tical, and II admitted would be fatal
to the power and honor of England.
Yet, said DIsra6ll, sneeringly, the
whole subject is disposed of in one
brief paragraph OF royal speech.
Mr.. Gladstone followed in reply.
He said that the Treaty of Washington
itselfshows that England is ready to
make every concession short Of ma
tiOnal honor to establish friendly re-
lstions with America.
