Green knocked the pistol ny. and demonstrated

Austin then sprang from his horse, and Green
started to dismount, when the friend to bolh

Dispute Over aHse Corpse OF IL
Nsaas

The Wheeling, West Va, "Intelljgen-
ceT'' has the following account # d dis
pute over the possession Of the body OF !,
the niece of 4. P. Baker, Esq, Of the
firm of Baker Bros of Stauuton:
''Sister Mary Louise having died in the
Cathedral Convent on Wednesday, Capt,
Henry M. Brent. her brother, arrived in
the city yesterday and called upon Bishop
KAN, who desired to take the remains of
his sister to their home in Winchester
Va, for burial. But the bishop refused to
let him have the body, saying that the
dead sister should be inferred in consecra-
ted ground, according to the rites Of tie
Catholic Church, and that it was against
tile rules of the church to permit the body
of IL sister to be buried under any other
circumstances.
THE bishop being obdurate, Capt. Brent
called at the law office of II. M. Russell
ESQ.,, and was told that to obtain posses
sion Of his SiStar' remains he should quail
ify as her administrator. Acting upon
this suggestion. lie went to the courthouse
and. the Circuit Court being in session,
was without delay qualified as admin istra-
tor of Caroline Nj. Brent, which was the
name of lis sister before she became Il
nun.
Mr., Russell accompanied his client to
the rooms Of Bishop Kahn in the cathe-
diaI, and Id him Of the action he had Id
ken Bishop Kahn answered that he also
lad consultsd an attournt y, and was pre-
pared to resist any attemyt that might be
made to carry off the remains of the sister
Nh. Russell then threatened to procure
habeaS corpus and l.ave the body taken in
to open court.
The bishop thereupon suggested con-
ference with IA view If effecting a compro-
mise aud thus avoiding publicity. Mr..
Russell consented, AND the bishop, Father
Sullivan, vicar general OF the diocese, and
tlieir attorneys. MeSSrS. Daniel Lamb and
James Rogers, shortly afterWard met at
his office for consultation. The clergymen
and their attorneys retired to a private
room, AID after d few minutes consulta-
Jion returned and Informed Mr.. Russell
thet they had decided to offer no further
resistance 10 the wishes of the bl other of
the deceased nun. The bishop, in making
