BISHOP PURCELL'S DEBTS.
A Point Raised ~ 10 the POntin"sT Title
10 the Church Property.

CINCINNATI, April 4.-In the Hamilton
County District Court, to-day, the case OF
J. B. Mannix, assignee of Archbishop Pur-
cell, against the holders OF Church prop
crty, came up in his application for an
order to sell the property to pay the debts
of the Archbishop. The debts aggregate
81 1000, coo, and the property is estimated to
he worth $2,O0O,00O or 3,0Oo,00O. Judge
Hoadley, for the assignee, said the
lien argument would be that the debts
were the Archbishop's and that the prop
crty held in his name is legally liable for
the debts. The chief point in controversy
would relate to the nature OF the title by
which the Archbishop held the churches of
the diocese. 1t would involve an examination
of the canon law tu determine the relation
of hierarchy to property held by church
CONGREGATION. He claimed that the first
duty OF the diocese was to pay the debts OF
the diocese. r. ID. Lincoln, who made
representative statement for the dozen
or more lawyers representing the
defense, said they should claim
that as to the vested of this property, the
Arch Bishop bore the mere relation o.
trUstceship; that the congregations paid
for their church property, but by the rules
OF the church the title was tested in Arch
Bishor: besides in many cases bonds had
been tiven for money borrowed to bniIi
churches, and these must be met before any
other claim could come in. After brief
statement from the other attorneys ia"
Court adjourned. The testimony will be
voluminouS and will be relative prlnci-
nally to nature Of title to about sixty pieces
of real estate situated in twenty or more
counties in Ohio.

GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES,
EEEECT OF THE VETO.
How the Presidents Action Was II,
ceived in the Capital City, Yesterday ,

Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE message OF
the President yetoing the Chinese bill
was presented to the Senate to-day, and the
most sanguine expectations of those who
opposed the measure were fulfilled. 1t has
been the general opinion here that when
the bill came to the hands OF the President
it would meet with his disapproval, and
verify it is SO. Members of both Houses
hare been studiously at work since its pas
sage bringing to bear all the influence pos
sible to accomplish its passage, This has
been particularly so with the members
from the Pacific slope, while with those
representing the large manufactur-
ing districts their efforts have been turned
in the opposite direction, though none ex.
pected any other result than that which
has taken place.
The veto is looked upon here, tonight, as
a serious blow to the Republicans and it is
thought by some high up in authority that
at least two-thirds OF the next Congress
will he returned Democratic. AS it now
stands the Pacific Coast is seriously
affected by the action of the President,
and the Chinese can come and go at pleas
ure. The presence of the Celestials has
heretofore worked serious results in vari-
Gus parts of the country, and the same
state OF affairs are likely to exist in the
future unless some remedy be provided.
There will he no attempt to override the
Presidents action. and it is not likely (at
least there was no talk of il t).dayl, that
modified bill will be passed. The Demo
cratic member, are jubilant as they feel
certain it will work TO the interests OF the
party in he next campaign.
"Thc President" says Senator Miller, OF
California, "has made grave mistake, and
one that will tcud to weaken the admins
tration all over the country hy arraying
the labor interest against the Republican
nartv."

at Charleston, w. Va.

at Charleston, w. Va.
Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
CHARLE>ToN, w Va, April 4.-lntense
excitement was created in this city to-day
by the news of an attempted outrage upon
Mrs. O'Marrier, a very aged and very re-
spected lady, who resides at her country
seat, Rose Hill some ten miles below this
city, and as yet the inhabitants are still at
fever heat with madness. For quite while
back portion of her estate was rented by
a Mr. Parsons, and Joe, his son, is accused
OF the terrible crime. The particulars of
the assault are as follows: Mrs. O'Marrier
was on an errand to the spring for some
water, and found young Parsons lying near
the spring house sick. She made him as
comfortable as possible, and then started
back to the house for some medicine, and
upon returning to the spring administered
it to him and also asked him to accompany
her to her home. As she turned
to leave him he jumped up,
knocked her to the ground and made an at
tempt to outrage her. Her cries
brought her sister to the rescue, her son
being absent from home, and with the aid
of q stout club she beat the wretch until he
ran oil. Parsons was arrested. and is now
confined in Jail in this city. He says he
knows nothing whatever Of the matter.
Strong talk OF lynching the tiend was heard
on many sides, but up to this writing a
better judgment has prevailed.
Mrs. OMarrier was very much bruised,
but, it is believed, not fatally. She is one
of the oldest settlers being somewhere
near seventy-tive years OF age, and is large
ly connected in the Kanawha Valley and in
Wheeling.
Parsons, the culprit, is only about egh-
teen years Of age, and was born and reared
upon Mrs. O'Marricr's place. Heretofore
he has always manifested the greatest re-
spect for the family. His friends say he
was either drunk or crazy.
