BISHOP PURCELL'S DEBTS.
a Case of Great Magnitude Decided by
the Hamilton County (O.) Court
A Number OF Nice Points OF Law In
yOIved in the Suit.

CINCINNATI, October 1.-The Hamilton
County District Court, composed of Judges
Johnston, Smith, Morse and Kernon, de-
cIded the case of J. B. Mannix, assignee,
rs. j. Purcell et al, which was an action
by the assignee to obtain a judgment of
the court as to the liability of the diocese
Church property to pay the debts OF the
Church. The Bishop Purcell case is one
OF great magnitude. The hearing occu-
pied three months, ending in June, 1882
1t has been under consideration till
now. The opinion is delivered by
Judge Smith, and beginning at 2
o'clock, occupied nearly three hours.
Out OF nearly 800 pieces OF property held
by the archbishop, fourteen were selected
for t1is trial as being representative of all
None OF these were churches. The others
were the cathedral, including the archi-
episcopal residence, and the school and
seminary at Cumminsyille, the orphan
asylum and st. Joseph Cemetery, and the
old and new converts. 1t was found in
the case of the churches that, though
the title was in fee simple in
Archbishop Purcell, yet they were
built from money raised by the members
OF the different congregations, and that
the title in the archbishop, by reason of the
rules of the Church, which in such cases
the archbishop held the titlo only as
trustee for the uses of the congregation,
and that property so had could not be
subjected to the payment of the debts of
the archbishop. In the case of one church
the majority of the court found that the
evidence showed that the archbishop had
advanced some money, and the church was
liable for that amount TO the assignee. As
to the cathedral and cathedral school.
built by the archbishop directly from funds
placed i'll his hands, except about $4,000
raised by subscription, the court held that
though the archbishop held the property
in trust as he did other churches, yet to
the extent of the amount advanced the as
signee was entirely able to recover inter
est for the benefit of the creditors. The
orphan asylum at Cumminsville was also
declared a trust not subject to sale, and
the mortgage given by Archbishop Pur-
cell on it to secure n creditor was declared
of no binding force. The same view
was taken as To st. Mary's Gene
terry. with order for reference to
the master TO ascertain ii the archbishop
made advances to this property. As to the
cemetery, q majority OF the court held that
that was not dedicated to the public; that
i'll consequence it did not amountto dedi-
cation, and that such portion as was not
sold for burial lots could be sold for the
creditors. Judge Johnston dissented as
to referring two pieces of property to the
master for an account, and dissented wholly
from view that the cemeteries were not
dedicated to the public, and held in trust
by the archbishop

OF Abilene, Wantcd-She Has Been Alb
sent from Home Nine Months.

Something of Mary Churchill sensa-
tion is now agitating North Texas and
South Kansas. Mr.. q. Il. Petty, cattle
man and heavy contractor, living at Abb
lene, KS, lately arrived in Fort Worth in
search Of his step-daughter, who nine
months ago left his home to attend school
in Seguin, Tex, where she was expected
to remain until November. A few days
ago Mr.. Petty received telegram from
the girl, asking for $40. He sent the
amount to Seguin. The next day another
telegram was received from her, request
ing the same amount, which was also fur
nishcd, and still third came, containing
another request for $50, in answer to which
Mr. Petty again remitted the amount. A
fourth was received, when Mr.. Petty
perceived it was dated Fort Worth,
and not Seguin. The others upon eX-
animation were also found to have come
from Fort Worth. He Immediately started
for Fort Worth, first sending money there
for the account of Miss Sellers, but upon
his arrival found that it remained un-
touched, and no trace of the girl has been
discovered. The case has been placed in
the hands of the police, and a diligent
quest is being prosecuted, but so lar fruit
lesSly. The girl, Cora Sellers, is said to be
a handsome brunette, aged seventeen, with
dark hair Large black eyes, is petite in fig
ure and weighs about ITO pounds. Her
education is good and her nature bright

HOG CHOLERA.
Interesting experiments by DIR. Salmon.
OF :he Agricultural Bureau.

WASHINGTON, October l.-During the
past summer Dr. Salmon, OF the Agri-
cultural Department, has been conducting
a series of experiments intended to to as
certain means for the prevention of hog
cholera and pleurO-pneumonia among cat
tie at the cattle stations near this city.
About thirty cows have been the subjects
Of the experiments. Fifteen were inocu-
lated to ascertain ii the lung disease, which
prevails about Washington, was contagious,
but no results were established that are
conclusive. Other experiments made dis
covered that the system of vaccination
protects hogs and chickens from cholera.
The greatest obstacle encountered was the
lack OF stability in hog virus and its lia-
bility to dctcriorate. Virus must be cult
waited so rs to keep its uniform strength,
and as the best means Of doing this is yet
unknown it must lie ascertaincd by further
experiments. Better results have followed
investigations into the character of the
virus in chichen cholera, and DIR. Salmon
expresses the opinion that means of pro-
tccting chickens from that disease will
soon be known.

A DARING FEAT.
viewing Washington from The Capitol
Dome HuiIinG.

trO" tlle
Dome nuiIinG.
WAsHINGToN, September 27.-An un-
known man, evidently Il stranger and
daring one, performed feat about noon
which chilled the blood Of everyone who
witnessed it. He assembled to the dome of
the Capitol, and producing pair of opera
glasses, mounted the railing surrounding
the dizly-highted platform hundreds Of
feet above the ground and walked deliber-
ately around on the narrow footing, view
ing the city and :hc surrounding country
through his opeEl-glasscS. Several per
sons in the parks below, who witnessed
the man-spider outlined against the
sky like speck almost in the clouds,
rushed in and told Capt. Albaugh, of the
Capitol police force, and he Immediately
dispatched an officer to the dome with in
structions to bring the foolhardy man
down. The officer upon reaching the top
commanded the stranger to get down.
The command was obeyed by the aerialist,
who remarked in a cool manner: "Why,
that's nothing; | am snsed to that sort of
business. He refused to give his name,
and descended in company with the Of
iicer. The dome top is nearly 400 feet
from the ground, and to even look down
from behind the ratings would make the
average mortal quite dizzy.
