The Vanderbilt Estate.

In the late suit of Cornelius j. Van
derbilt to recover q due proportion of
his fathers estate, it was finally settled
that he should receive the avails for
life Of 100000; the property to be
placed in the hands of Edwin ID. Wor-
cester, as trustee; the principal to be
disposed of by will by Cornelius and if
agreed upon by the two brothers and
the trustee, the principal to be placed in
the hands of Cornelius, to be used by
him in his own way. Cornelius lately
asked his brother to place 100000 of
the principal in his (CorneliusO hands.
William declined to comply with that
request. Then Cornelius applied to
Judge Donohue TO have William re.
moved from any control over the trust
fund, as the possession OF 100000 Of
the principal was necessary in order to
afford him capital for conducting bust
ness enterprises--his health and comfort

active business lie averrcd that he
and his brother William were the only
surviving sons of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt; that William is worth now
over 100000, 900, and that it would not
injure his business interests TO part with

Bessemer steel.

m the afternoon special train, pro-
,,;Jcd free Of cost by the directors Of the
, ,,don and Northwestern Railway
company, conveyed a large party OF the
,,,,pters Of the Iron and Steel Institute,
IN session in Liverpool, to Crewe, where
,Aay were shown over the magnificent
yoIEs Of the company, and whe-" both
no H7sscmrr and the S.amcns Martin
-.-ocpsses Of steel manufacture are car
,;oJ ON. The Crewc works are said to
have been the largest railway works III
lS43. for the purpose OF repairing the
locomotive engines, carriages and wag-
ons required for the Grand Junction
Railway, afterwards absorbed in the
,nore extensive Northwestern. Ma
cbinery for the manufacture Of rails was
added in 1853, and in 1857, on the am
alpamation Of tie northern with the
northeastern divisions, the Crcwe works
became the centre OF the engine and car
riage departments Of the northern divis-
ion of the line. In 1864 works were
erected for the manufacture OF Bessemer
steel. and in 1869 or 1870 an open
hearth steel.making plant was added,
which has since been largely used in the
production of steel for locomotive pur.
poses Upwards of 1000 locomotives
have been made at the Crewe works, and
as many as LAG in one year No other
works in the country have made and
used steel as extensively for railway
purposes. The works as a whole cover
an area Of q acres, and employ over
5000 hands 20.
After the members Of the Institute
had been entertained to very excel
lent luncheon by the railway company,
they were shown the Bessemer steel con-
yerting house, where four fiveton con.
verting vessels were seen in operation.
The pig iron is first melted in an or
dinary cupola, to which the air is sup
piled by Root blower, whence it is
run into cne of the converting vessels.
The air is supplied to the converting
vessel by pair of horizontal blowing
sagines of 450 horse power, by Hicks d
Co., Boston. The cogging mills, fire.
rolling mills, plate rolling mills, mer-
chant mills, mills for rolling steel, ETC.,
were examined with interest, the more
so that there are no works that can
boast of greater perfection in their me-
chanical arrangements. From the rail
works and the points and the crossing
department, the visitors were conducted
by staff of officials to the boiler shop,
which is $50 feet long and 100 feet
wide. Here they saw locomotive and
stationary boilers being made of steel.
The party were aiterwarde conducted
in succession through the boiler shop,
smithy, the Hanging shop, the plate
store, the boiler fitting shop, the engine
repairing shops, and the steel forging
department, where they saw the plate
and large angle mills and the upright
thirty-ton duplex steam hammer, the
tire and wheel shops, the iron forge, the
paint shop, the brass and IRON foundry,
the millwright shop, the pattern shop,
and the saw mill and they finally were
pulled up through the wheel forge and
the spring smithY into the locomotive
erecting wheel and fitting shops, more
confused probably than enlightened by
the hewildering size of the vast estab,
lishmeNt and the variety of different oc-
cupatons carried on. London Times.

A Speclmen Brick Of Mormonism.

The internal brutality and disgusting
coarseness of the Mormon religion were
fairly exhibited at Salt Lake funeral
last Sunday. John Taylor, the Presi.
dent Of the Church, preached the ser
mon over the rcmains Of young man
who had left the church, but whose
mother and sisters are still members.
The latter were present when Taylor
sail that che died a drunkard, and
will fiji drunkard's grave. He
has gone to he'll, and that is where he
deserved to CO. The poor mother and
sister, believing in the spiritual power
Of the wretch who uttered the above
language, were overcome with anguish
and carried fainting from the church.
It is easy for those of us who know
that no human being, whatever his pre-
tensions, has any power over the condl-
ton Of Il soul separated from the body,
to treat the belchings of Taylor and
other creatures of this sort as idle wind,
offensive and noisome, it is true, but alb
soiutely imperative upon us or upon the
fate OF the departed but the deluded
people who believe in the power of such
persons feel as the mother and sister
above referred to, that the one they
loved has actually been consigned to
perdition by the word of mortal man.
It is strange that the human intellect
and soul in this enlightened age can be
so grossly deceived by the spiritual pre-
tensions of their fellows. 1t is also
strange that women should submit to
form of superstition so sensual, vulgar,
and crushing to all fine sensibilities and
true impulses of their sex as Mormon
ism. But the vast majority of the
Mormon women are victims of circum-
stances. Many of them are immigrants
from Europe, where they were won over
to Mormonism by the soft persuasions
of the "saints who were sent there as
missionaries. They are ignorant and
weak, fit materials for the low cunning
of the libidinous and mercenary wolves
who enticed them into the den VI the
false religion. Our Government is dis
graced by its continued toleration of this
cruel and law-defying SYSTEM ,-Roches-

tSlSnt Oh tn6 lSAf TO Crlt1C1Se tho Bench,
New York Herald.
The important opinion just delivered by
Chief Justice Sharswood, of Pennsylvania,
in the case of the two lawyer editors who
were disbarred for an alleged libel on
Judge Patterson is sound and wholesome
exposition of the law governing the right
of the bar and the press to criticise the
bench. Had the supreme court affirmed
instead of reversed the decision of the
lower court the Judiciary of Pennsylvania
would be practically exempt from all criti-
cism Oh the part of the bar. This
would not only be incompatible with
the purity and highest usefulness
of the bench, but it would be denial of
the freedom of speaking and writing guar
anteed by the constitution. 1t will be re-
membered that the two editors of the Lam
caster INTELLIGENCER, who were also
members of the Lancaster bar, published
some time ago an article sharply comment
ing on the conduct of Judge Patterson in
a case tried before him. That judge pro-
nounced the publication a libel, and after
hearing the offending attorneys in defence
ordered them to be expelled from the bar.
If a judge may thus summarily deal with a
lawyer who has dared to call public atten-
tiOn to his judicial misdoings there is moth
ing to prevent the bench from becoming as
despotic in this respect as it pleases.
Happily the supreme court takes a diff
ferent view of the important con-
stitutional question involved from that
acted upon by Judge Patterson. 1t does
not deny the power of a judge to disbar
an attorney for official misconduct in or
out Of court. But for grave offence
committed out of court, such as
theft, forgery or perjury, it is clear that an
attorney cannot be summarily expelled
from the bar without formal Indictment,
trial and conviction by a jury or Oh cor
fessiOn in open court. The same is true in
the case OF libel. "The Office of an attor-
ney," says the court, sis his property,
and he cannot be deprived Of it unless by
the Judgment of his peers or the law Of
the land" Lawyers, as Chief Justice
Sharswood remarks, are the best qualified
to bring to public notice instances of judi
cial misconduct and it is both their right
and their duty to do so. TO say that
an attorney can only act or speak on this
subject under liability to be called to ac-
count and to be deprived of his profession
and livelihood by the very judge OF judges
whom lie may consider it his duty to attack
and expose is q position too monstrous to
be entertained for moment under our
present system" This Judgment does not
imply that members of the bar are FREQ to
criticise judges out of court without being
held strictly to answer for any wrong done.
Whenever lawyer libels d judge he incurs
the penalty of libel just the same as any
other citizen does. But the question of
guilt is to be determined and the penalty
inflicted by due process Of law, which is
very different thing from the offended
Judge taking the law into his own hands
by summa rily expelling the alleged offen-
Ter from the bar.
