LEE THE onILpREN DECIDE
Would be the wIsest Course-A Famous
Case Again Attracting Attention.

DETROIT, August 17.-Sometime ago
Michael Cahill, editor OF the Chicago Pilo.,
was defendant in suit for divorce, Mrs.
Cahill charging desertion, cruelty and
failure to support. He fled cross bill,
charging her with adultery. Their four
children, five, seven, nine and ten years
old were placed by the father in the Holy
Angels Academy at Baaalo. Mrs. Cahill
discovered their whereabouts and visited
them once or twice. Alleging that they
were abused by the Sisters in charge. she
went again with q carriage and pistol and
took them away at the cannon's mouth
and brought them to Detroit and gave
them in charge OF the Home of the Friend-
less here. Last week Cahill, learning OF
their hiding place, came to Detroit, sued
out writ OF habeds corpus and endeavored
TO get possession Of the children. This
ELECTED vigorous defense on the part OF
the mother and the ladies OF the Home,
and several prominent lawyers volunteered
their services for the defence.
One feature in the case came out in the
course OF the trial, that the contest over the
children partakes partially, at least, of a
war in religious belief. he father being
a Catholic and the mother Protestant,
the court decided this afternoon to re-
msnd the children to the care OF the Home
Of the Friendless until the termination of
the divorce suit in Chicago, and final
was made OF the children by
the court there. Cahill was very obstrep-
erous over the action. OF Judge Turner,
one OF the oldest Circuit Judges on the
bench OF our state, denouncing his action
TO his face after the adjournment of the
case, and loudly proclaiping about the
not so old. The behavior OF Mrs. Cahill
and the bullying dsmeanor Of her hus-
band turned the whole tide OF popular
to the side OF the woman. The
children unequiyacally declare prefer
ence TO share the lot OF their mother, aud
express terrified repuguance 10 being put
under the care OF their father,

PItiful Defense Of "fhe Poor Mans

IxDIAxAPoEs, IND, August 1s.-The
Commercials exposure Of Mr.. William a.
English as the "poor mans friend" con.
tinues to be the leading subject Of conver-
satlon here in political and business cir
cles. The only defense made so far for him
by his friends Is that the foreclosuresw were
really for the First National Bank, OF which
he was President, but that for certain rea.
sons the suits were brought in the name
Of Mr.. English. The facts are just the
opposite. Mr.. English used the name oil
tie bank wherever he could as cover iol
many OF his transactions OF this nature
The explanation that the long list o.
foreclosures published in the Commercial
were for the First National Bank Is very
foolish one, as the National banking law
iorbids banks taking real estate as orgi
nal security for any loan. The bare re
cord, showing the number OF foreclosures
Is but an index to the heartless inhumani
ty OF the man. The mortgages were all Q

Democratic Proposals TO Have the Su.

WASHINGTON, August l6,-Therei eisreally
enough talk among the Democrats OF re-
viewing and reversing the opinion OF the
Supreme Court Of Indiana, which DEGREES
that the State must vote in October, to
Justify theimpression that there Is q grow
ing fear that Mr.. English and Mr.. Landers
are proving load that an October elec.
ton will, II held, prove q signal defeat for
their party, II is argued that such re.
suit would exert an influence upon New
York which could not be counteracted,
and therefore 1t Is altogether inexpedient
to take the risk.
II the Supreme Court Of Indiana does
give new hearing ia this case II will be
the result OF the above argument made al
the East. Republicans here look upon
the Democratic consideration OF the sub
iect as one OF the most encouraging signl
| OF the contest in Indiana.

Republican party Is united in support
OF Garfield and Arthur, and nowhere is
there any talk OF boiling or scratching.
The loud boast OF the Democrats that
Hancock would capture the soldier vote is
refuted in every instance, aud 1t Is made
evident that the large majority Of political

Republican party.
In all. the counties from which returns

from all comes the prediction that Garfield
