not. A compromise was Effected by
sending away thirty carriages, but sf-
ter the ceremonies in the church the
carriages returned to the procession.
Father Hennessey, from the pulpit last

NEW YORK, September 29.-The ar
gument to compel the Calvary Gene
terry authorities to inter the to1y tf
Dennis Coppers. which they refused to
do, on the grounds of his being Free
Mason, was continued to-day in the
Supreme Court before Judge West
brook. The counsel for the cemetery
trustees argued that the cemetery
was for the burial OF Catholics alone !;
that it was not shown that Copper at
tended the Catholic church, and that
the Protestant rites were read over !;
that the receipt of the purchase money
of the plat was not in the nature of
deed on Bonoyane, as required by law,
and gave no right to the land and that
heirs or assignees and not executors
were the parties to come into court
and claim burial for the body. TIE
counsel for the relatives of deceased in
reply argued that the next of kin, in
the absence OF the express Parliamentary
provision to the contrary, were the
proper parties to begin and sustain such
action and that Vicar General Givens'
opinions in regard to excluding Free
Masons from burial in the conse-
Grated ground was far from being well
founded, as reference to the decree and
laws of the second plenary counsel of
Baltimore would show. Judge West
brook reserved his decision.
