The Lincoln News says: If Judge Cornish's opinion stands the tet of the higher court, tlx dead Imdy of Edward 1. ("agney will repose where it has lain for many years, in Mount Calvary cemetery in this city, not withstanding the demand of his moth er. Mrs. Catherine McEntee, of Platts mouth, and his brother and sister, David and Marista McEntee, that it be given to them for inlermeut in titss county. The decision was given verbally at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. The ..uit was one in injunction brought by thp(';iNs county relatives to restrain Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, an aunt, and Bishop lionacum from Interfering with them in the removal of the body. The court deplored the fact that the effort of tlie mother and other near relatives was resisted by those in whose custody the Uidy had teen. and expressed the lelief that if 'atrney were conscious of what was going on here he would say that he would rest better if the wishes of his mother, whose footsteps now totter toward the grave, were complied with in ef fect stating that Mr.-.. Fitzgerald ought to tind out if the mother really desired her boy's remains to lie lieside. hers when she goes to her eternal rest and if she does to grant her that re quest. It had leen maintained, here tofore, it may e explained, that the sister was the really active party in the controversy, and that she was actuated by a dislike of the Fitz geralds. Yet the court said the law and logic dictated that he should eny the in junction and hold that the ixidy should remain where it is. He was moved to this determination by the Tact that the testimony disclosed that the. ex pressed wish of the deceased was that he should I buried in the Fitzgerald kit. There was no denial of this by the other sidf, save a disposition in the argument to disbelieve that such wish was expressed. The fact, how ever, said the court, that the deceased bad willed all of his property to Mrs. Fitzgerald, a wealthy woman, and ex cluded his near relatives, compara tively poor, would seem to corroborate Hurrah for Fourth of July ! and Morgan's tine line of Boys' and Children handsome Clothing.
