Discourse on Temperance.

Rev. Father Cleary, of Kenosha, the
recently elected president of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America,
made the question of temperance the
theme for an eloquent discourse at st.
Bernard's church last Sunday evening.
He fairly enchanted the large congrega-
ton present with his burning words,
and with great force and eloquence
held up the evils of intemperance.
His address is regarded by all who
listened to it as certainly the finest piece
Of oratory ever heard here. At the close
of the discourse about fifteen members of
St. Bernard's congregation went forward
and signed the total abstinence pledge,
showing something of the effect of the
reverend gentleman's effort.

Fire Anniversary,

To-day is the first anniversary of the
Chapman fire. Few would think to look
at the elegant structure that now adorns
the site OF the former store that it was
completed and occupied in less than five
months from the date of the fire. 1t has
already been said a. thousand times, but
Milwaukeeans like to repeat it, that this
CITY has in the Chapman store by far the
finest dry goods store in the world. This
applies to the interior hnishings of the
structure and the exterior decorations. It
is ching of beauty" and as long as it
lasts will be the pride of Milwaukeeans,
who have an interest in seeing the
artistic taste cultivated.
In this connection it may be said that
the delicate frescoes in oil on the exterior
walls of the building, which many thought
would not stand severe weather, look az
fresh and perfect after being submitted to
scorching sun and cold rains and damp
weather for two months as when first
put on Milwaukee Correspondence

Saturday night sneak thieves entered
the residence of ]. Ell. Sleeper on Clyman
Street, through the pantry window. They
appear to have confined their operations
to TIE larder and their visit resulted in
nothing worse than spelling good Sun
day dinner. Mr.. Sleeper, hearing the
noise, got up and the visitors not waiting
to be interviewed, fastened off. The
same gang, no doubt, paid visit to Ham,

without much trouble, but finding nothing
except books and papers which they
scattered about, they decamped without
securing anything.

C0du In CaIStNtIl.

Unde. the above caption the Milwau-
kee Sentinel of yesterday publishes the
following:
A scene which attracted a large crowd
and caused lively sensation occurred in
the Office of the Kirby house about z
o'clock last evening, when young man
attired in a beaver 0vercoat was relied
by an old man with q gray beard, There
was no struggle, but telephone call for
police excited the suspicion that the
Young man was a criminal. "A few
minutes later Detectives Baldwick and
Burns escorted the young man to the
Genital station, ACCOMPANIED by the old
gentleman. The prisoner was William
G.. Cody, son of DR., James G. Cody, OF
Wxtertown, whose domestic troubles and
mysterious disappearance from the Re-
publican house, and his subsequent dis
coyery in 8 deranged condition in the
woods west of the city, created a sensation
in this city some weeks ago. The old
man who caused the Junior CodY's de-
.tention was Chris Smith, of Watertown,
one Of his bondsmen for $4,000 in
civil action. Some hours later he sur
rendered the young man to the sheriff of
Jefferson. county, with the bail bond.
The arrest grows out of the domestic
troubles of DR.. James Cody and his young
wife, the latter being the stepmother Of
Williams. Some months ago DR.. Cody
commenced action for divorce on the
grounds Of infidelity, and to keep the old
man away from his wife, the son caused
his father to travel through the state,
finally bringing him to this city, at which
time he escaped from the Republican
house. After his recovery and meeting
between himself and wife, he returned to
Watertown, where he is at present re-
siding with his daughter. His wife filed
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1885-11-11

A cross-bill for, divorce aud also began
quit for alleged SANDER against the son.
She also had receiver appointed for the
property of her husband, who had trans.
ferred most of it to his son, and the latter
was required to give it up to the receiver.
He turned over about $4,000 worth oil
personal property.
At the time of his arrest for alleged
Islander, he was required to give bail in
the sum of SO 900. His bond Was
signed by Mat and Chris Smith, OF
Watertown, with the understanding, as
they claim, that they should be given
security for the amount It was not
given, however, and the bondmen refused
to Justify, for the amount Of the bond
until they had security. The young man
had disappeared from WATERFOWL, and,
being legally responsible for the Sic, 900,
even without justifying, they became
anxious to secure him. Consequently
Mr.. Smith came to this city, and finding
Cody at the Kirby house. caused his
arrest. Sheriff filing, of Jefferson ccuny,
reached the city at late hour last night,
and Mr. Smith delivered over the prisoner
and bail bond 70 the official at the central
station. The young man was taken to
jefferson at an early hour this morning,
aud will remain in custody until bail is
furnished.
Mr.. Smith expressed his willingness to
remain on the bond if the security was
forthcoming. It is probable that the
Young man will deliver over to them
$4,000, now in the possession of his
attorney, Major Gardner, at WATERFOWL.
William G@Cody is about "a years of
age, and his friends regard him as some
what eccentric. He had been decided
about ALL of bis fathers property,
amounting to about $4,000, of which
about one-half, was personal. Of the
latter he has turned over $4,000 to the
receiver, about $10, 900 is IN the possession
of his attorney, and when arrested last
night he had $4,000 in mortgages on his
person. He is known as patron OF
sports, and owns two fast horses at Wa
tertown. He has several hundred dollars
in bank here. Of late he has spent
money lavishly. He purchased two
beaver coats here yesterday for $500, one
of which he said he gave to friend.

A Watertosvm WaN case.

In 1875 Richard Joaes and wife, of
WATERFOWL, delivered to their son Thomas
and his wife lot and building without
any valuable consideration bat OF love
and Affection This property was sub
yect to mortgage OF 81 500 which
Thomas assumed to pay. The parents,
by verbal agreement, were to have
possession of the property Tor their lives.
In 1877 Richard Jones and his wife con :
veyed an additional strip of land, six
inches wide, to Thomas, and made a
settlement with him by which Thomas
gave them bis note for $500, duUin two
years, and occurred by mortgage on the
whole premises. In 1880, March 13,
Thomas married Amanda l.. Brook. On
the day of the wedding, just before the
ceremony, Thomas reconveyed the proper
" to his father, but the deed was never
recorded and has been lost. This COIL
yeyance was unknown to the intended
bride, now widow of Thomas, and she
never heard of it until the death of her
husband. on the Sd of May, 1881.
Thomas left will devising to his wife
"one-third of all his property, real and
personal, 10 lien of her dover, and the
other two-thirds to his father" The
widow elected to take the provisions
made by law instead of the provisions
made for her in the will. The circuit
court found that Amanda L. Jones was
entitled to dover in the premises subject
to the two mortgages, and was entitled to
one-third of the rents. 1t was also
found that the $1,000 mortgage had been
paid by Richard Jones, and that neither
mortgage had merged in the legal estate
conveyed to Richard March 13, 1880.
The superior court holds that the deed of
March Ii, 1880, was intended to defraud
Am nda of her dover, and that Amanda
is entitled to dover subject only to the
$4,000 mortgage. Justice Orion says:
''To save Thomas from the ilnputation of
such false, deceitful and unnatural con-
duct toward his intended wife on the
very day of the nuptials, one might
almost indulge the thought that the deed,
now so mysterious!y lost, was never fully
delivered, and was afterwards destroyed"
= Madison Correspondence Milaoaukee
Sentinel, Nou. 4.
The above decision relates whollygto
the dover interest of Amanda L. Jones,
widow of Thomas q. Jones, to the life
use of one-third of the undivided half
of Cambrian block. The circuit court
held that her dover was subject to Rich
ard Jones' mortgage of $4,000 and also
to the provision in deed to pay the
Bertholf mortgage of 81, 500 which
Richard Jones had to pay-in other words
that this dover was subject to Richard
Jones' prior claims, amounting to 81 900.
But the supreme court holds as above that
it is subject only to the mortgage Of
$4,000. This leaves Richard Jones the
owner in fee of the undivided half Of
the whole block, subject to Amanda's
right to one third of the rents and profits
during her life, after the So, 500 mortgage
is paid to Richard Jones out of the rents
and profits. The other undivided BALI o.
the block belongs to Thomas D. Evans.
