aunrreling Over the Burial OF Girls
Body.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-The question of
the disposition of tho remains of Miss Re-
becca Scott was before Judge Finletter to-day
on n motion by the girls father George
Scott, for an injunction to restrain Mrs.
Reilly and her daughter from burying the
girl without his consent or approval. 1t has
been publshe that Mrs. Reilly held the
corpse as security for the pay of $3.50 due for
board, but later Developments make it appear
that the father wishes his daughter buried
according to tho rites of tho Protestant
church, while Mrs. Richly, at whose house the
girl died, was about to have her buried in ac-
accordance with the ritual of the Catholic
church. The case was continued until to-
morrow, the court allowing tho corpse mean
while to be deposited in vault in the Cath
ollie cemetery

came with the family to WILDLY Isl

youth were passed. In January, 1880,
his ardent desire to learn the machin-
lists trade was granted by his parents
and he spent three years following
in the machine shop in Port Gamble,
where he won the highest esteem Of
his employers and all who knew him,
by his modest and manly dameanor,
his temperate and industrious habits,
and his integrity and faithfulness in
all things intrusted to him. In April
last, after visiting his home, he went
to Portland tOr few months. where
he gained many warm and valued
friends. The last two months of his
life was spent in his native city, and
young as he was his associates felt
for him the respect which only pure
and noble nature could inspire. who

good medical treatment, and nursing.
1t is a Catholic institute, and is the
best in the city. 4 friend writes:
we went with and saw him put
comfortably to bed in a fine large
room by himself, and they guaran-
teed the best medical attendance,and
an experienced nurse. The nurse
said: Il have been very much inter

devoted myself especially to his com

Tell his mother that in ali his wan

even passed his lips, which showed
very plainly that his life had been
pare and good. We visited him
every day and know that he has had

to start the next day to attend him,
when the sad announcement came
that he had quietly passed away.
His brother, G. O. Morgan, of Port
land, went down to be present at the

past season, and six or seven thousand

Puget S,und Cod Fish in Boston.

ton TRANSCRIPT of Nov. 24th says:
"A case of Puget Sound Black Cod
sent by Prof. Baird for the inspection
of the fish trade, was exhibited at
the rooms of the Boston Fish Bu-
reau yesterday. The fish have 4
darker skin than our Goldfish, are rich
in oil, and are of the most delicious
flavor, but different in taste from any
fish on the Atlantic coast, and seem
to be a species peculiar to the waters
of the north Pacific ocean, and are
reported as very plentiful and easily
taken although found in very deep
water. This ease Is the first Of these
rare fish ever seen in Boston"
