BISHOP PURCELL.
The Great Suit In the Ohio Supreme
Court Ended
IN A LONG AND WelaHrY VERDICT.
The Judges Decide That the Churches Can.
not be Taken for His 0ebts-Un.
eonsecrated Property, How.
ever, Is Liable.

CINCINNATI, October 1.-The Hamilton
County District Court, composed OF Judges
Johnston, Smith and Moore, this afternoon
decided the cssa ~ J. d. MAnnix, AssiGues,
N. J.. b. Purcsll ct al, which was an action
by the assignee to obtain judgment Of the
court as to the liability Of the Diocesan
Church property to pay the debts Of the
late Archbishop Purcell. The case is one
Of great magnitude. The hearing occupied
three months, ending in June, 1859, and il
has been under consideration till now.
The opinion delivered by Judge Smith, be.
ginning at two O'Clock, occupied nearly
three hours. out OF nearly two hundred
pieces OF property held by the Archbishop.
fourteen
Were Selected for This Trial
as being representative Of all. Nine
OF these were churches The others
were the cathedral, including the
archepisoopal residence and the school Of
st. Mary's seminary, the Cumminsyille
orphan asylum and 81. Joseph's cemetery,
old and new. The court found that in the
case Of the churches, though the title was in
fee simple in Archbishop Purcell, yet they
were built from money raised by members
Of different congregations. and that the
title was IN the Archbishop by the rules Of
the church, which in such q case a. this
the court is bound 10 regard; that the
Archbishop held the title only rs n trustee
for the uses OF the congregation aud that
the property 81 held could not be 30 sub
ected 10 the payment OF the debts OF tho
Archbishop. In the case OF one church
The Majority OF the Ceart
found that the evidence showed the Arch.

the church was liable for that amount TO
the assignee. As 10 the Cathedral and Ca.
thedral School built by the Archbishop
direct fran funds placed in his hands, ek.
cept about 10000 raised by subscription,
the court held that though the Archbishop
held the property In trust ~ he did that
OF other churches, yet 10 the extent OF the
amount be advanced the assignee WAS en-.
titled to recover with interest for the ben.
eft Of creditors. The Orphan Asylum at
Cumminsville was also declared trust not
subject TO sale and a mor,xaged given by
Archbishop Purcell on II

il, as declared, OF no binding force. The
same view Was taken ~ 10 ~. Mary's oeme-
terry, with an order for reference 10 the
master to ascertain II the Archbishop made
advances TO this property. As 10 the csms.
teries the majority OF the Court held that
they were not dedicated TO the public, that
a consecration did not amount 10 dsdica.
ton, and that such portion ~ now not sold
for burial lots could be sold for the benedt
Of creditors. Judge Johnston dissentsd ~
to the referring OF two pieces OF property
10 the master for an account, ~ descended
wholly from view that the cemeteries we're
not dedicated to the public and held In
trust by tha atArchbishop.

II Il. Chapman cC Co.

In the course Of an interview the other
day in Milwaukee, t. A. Chapman, the
senior member of the extensive dry goods
firm of I, A. Chapman & Co., on Wis
consin street, had this to say:
"Our trade has increased to that ex-
tent, that find we need more room,
and have faith enough in the future
of Milwaukee, to make an addition of 40
x12O feet to the present store. This will
give us altogether ground floor equal
to 12Ox186 feet which is, [ think, lar
ger ground floor surface than occupied
BY any retail dry goods house in Chica-
g. Tnis will enable us to carry larger
and more varied stock, that will fully
meet the growing wants of the city and
commonwealth. Milwaukee is like every
other large city, in having It's own pecu-
liar style, and | wish to make it still
more notable. Boston has its type or
style, aad so have Philadelphia and Chi
cago, the latter decidedly SO. The Chica-
go style is strongly marked and pro
nounced. 1t is much louder and more
STANDARDIZATION is patronized by our
Milwaukee ladies of culture and good
taste"

Rich &c SLIDER

The Milwaukee merchants give q fiat
tering account Of their trade the past
season and especially during the holidays.
Among the most favored of the Milwau-
kee dealers is the firm of Rich & SLIDER,
the Broadway dry goods men. Their
trade for the holiday season exceeded by
fully $50 per cent. anything they have
ever known before. The great rush at
their establishment made it necessary to
increase their clerical force from 65 TO an
even 100 with cashiers driven to that
extent that they could not assert the re-
,,eipts but threw the cash into baskets,
there being one for bills, another for
checks and large box for silver. Dicks
elevated cash railroad lately introduced
by Rich & SLIDER, has worked with the
most satisfactory results to both clerks
and customers avoiding the rush OF boys
through the crowds and other confusion.
Rich 81 Silber's store is marvel OF beau
ty and is filled with a stock as rich and
varied as can be found anywhere. The
firm expect, as they wellldeserve, that
their business will keep good right along
Notwithstanding the holiday trade is at
az end.

1t is understood that eight of the nine
American Express Company men, run
ming on the Northwestern railway be-
tween Chicago and Winona, have been
relieved of their positions through "mis-
understanding, it is significantly put.
The case, however, is, that the express
men have been conducting regular
"knocking down" business for three or
four years past, the discovery Of which
was not made until within the past two
weeks. The manner in which the fraud
WAS conducted was, the men in the habit
OF receiving packages at the depots for
transmission, would collect the charges
in advance, make no record oil their
books Of the transaction, carry the pack
ages to their destination and deliver
them. The "crookedness'' developed fl
nally, and the result Is a number of en-
ployes will be able to spend the holidays
at home without the trouble of asking
for vacation. The fraud is said to have
been in operation on this division Of
road alone, as far as can be learned. -
