IMPORTANT DECISION,
The statu. of Paroeh,a, schoo,.

CLEVELAND, July pa case that has at
tracted public attention has been on trial in
this city for several days before Judge Jones in
the equity branch of the common pleas court
in which Bishop Gilmour, Catholic, sought to
enloin the county treasurer from co lIecting
$500 of taxes assessed on lands alleged to have
been held by him in trust for the use of Catho-
lie parochial schools. The bishop himself and
other clerical witnesses were cross examined
exhaustlVely, and a large number Of papal doc
uments and DEGREES of various councils enclv.
ccal letters of the Pope. &c., were introduced
py defendant to show that parochial schools
were organized and conducted for purposes
hostile to free institutions and opposed to the
public policy of the state, and were not there
fore to be construed as coming within the ex-
emption clauses of the statutes, either as pub.
lie schools or institutions purely of public
charity, and to show that the bishop holds the
key to the property not as trustee, but that he
IS absolutely accountable only to the Pope of
Rome.
To-day Judge Jones held that the establish.
ment OF these schools was not in any legal
sense opposed to public policy unless thew were
tainted with Illegally of origin, purpose or
tendency, or were in contravention Of public
morality; that the bishop was really trustee of
the property for school purposes and that a
court OF equity could enforce the trust: that
school property was not exempt as public
scnool property cut that being built and par
italy carried on by voluntary donations and no
income arising therefrom they were exemntad
from taxation as an institution purely Of pub
Tic charity and under the same law as other
sectarian colleges and institutions of the state
so far as general taxation was concerned. but NOT
exempt from special assessments for sewers,
paving, &c.

Newport Yacht CIub.

NEWPORT, R. l., July 12.-Four club boats
belonging to the Newport yacht club sailed a
race today for challenge pennant given by G.
fortnight OF New York. The entries were the
Sappho, Venoa, Titania and Minnie. The
Titania was owned by Samuel f. Pratt of Bos-
ton, and was declared the winner in II min
utes, by time allowance. She would have been
the winner without the time allowance. The
peculiar build of this boat attracted no little
attention. Not crooked timber has been used
in her construction and she has beam of ten
feet, two inches, while her length is but II
feet inches She has an iron centreboard
weighing ITO pounds. which constitutes all of
her ballast She has a flexible rudder and her
bowsprit is attached to her boom instead of the
bow of the boat. Had the wind not died out
she would have come in ahead as we'll as being
the winner. She was however but one minute
behind the leading boat. At one time she was
one-third of mile ahead of the other three.
The club have seven more prizes to be sailed
for during the season.
