"'Important decision. , ,,.,,' ;..., i ; : T"1 V ': John Smith et al plaintiff in error, vs. rhllfp Het et al, defendant In error, irror to Cole Circuit Curt. opinio or TII1C court. -... This I a proceeding In tho nature of a bill In equity, and was Instituted In tho Coin circuit court by plaintiffs' as trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church, by which ft Is sought to have rested In themselves, as such trustees, the title to a certain parcel of ground situated n Jefferson City, as a place of Interment for that church. In conformity, as It Is claimed, to tho deed of Christian Routzong. bearlnt date August a-tli, 1852. to rostral a the defon d-ints. who are the trustees of the church known as the German Evangelical Central Congregation, and the members of such church from the use of the ground thus conveyed until a final hear ing, etc., etc. Tlio deed of Knutzong was delivered to his son-in-law, John Guenther, and was made to tho -'Lutheran Church." and the parcel of ground thereby donated, was emitted for a bur ial ground. In consideration of the respect enter tained b the donor for said Church. Without adverting to the evidence In detail. It shows with very convincing and conclusive clearness that tho Church to which Roittzong belonged, was Lutheran In doctrine, that tho distinguishing characteristic of that faith con sists In accepting all that the Augsburg Confes sion loaches, and rejecting all that it rej.-cts; that to the most lavmen this Church Is known and designated by no other name than tho "Luthe ran Church;" that to this Church, although then unorganized, and to the believers In the Lutheran faith. Routznng ami his children among the members, Rev. Mr. Kolb first preached while the meetings wero held at tho house of Mr. John Guenther. Rontzong's son-in-luw,,tn whom, as before stated, tho deed for the burial ground was delivered ; that Mr. Kolb was succeeded In his ministration to this con-g-e-ation, bv R-iv. Mr. Knanp, he by Rev. Mr. M 'ver, he by Rev. Mr. Sandross and he by the clergyman at present, officiating. Rev. Mr. Thurow; that the names of all these ministers are on the list of the Missouri Synod, a strictly Lutheran organization; that tho names of none of the Church to which defendants adhere are to be found on such list, or are recognized by the Church to which plaintiffs belong; that It was the intention of tho donor, Routzong, to give the burial ground to tho Church and congrega tion to whicli Kolb preached, ami with which the donor and his children worshipped, and that that. Church which subsequently organized and built n brick house of worship holow Z win ger's, was thcolny LuthcranChurch then or now In Jefferson City; that the "Church on tho Hill" to which defendants and tholr associates belon ged entertained theological views widely diff erent from those entertained by the Ghunw to which plaintiff belonged; and that the Church to which defendant belonged was not organized and had no preacher until tho year 1850; and he, the Rev. Mr. Reiger did not pretend to be a Lu theran. Tho answer of defendants denied the chief al legations of Ihe petition and claim that the deed was for the beuefit of the church and congrega tion to which they belonged, and asked for af firmative relief In tho form of n decree vesting the tltlo to the premises In controversy. In them selves, as trustees of tho "German Evangelical Central Congregation." Tho evidoneo, how ever, offered on their part, does not seriously militate, or negative that offered by plaintiffs; hut in many particulars, adds additional force tn the testimony already adduced by the plain tiffs. Tho ground upon which courts of equity in terfere, In cases of this sort, is that of eflectnat Ing the specific Intent of tho donor. And on this point the evidence of the son and daughter of Routzong who worsbined with and espoused the smo faith as their father. Is entitled to and should i ce.olve far more than ordinary weight in determining the purpose bv which lie was actuated in making the donation. It Is not to be presumed that the grantor would donate bis property to the benefit of a church or congrega tion alien in faith tn that to which ho adhered and In ascertaining what that faith was , and Is. resort may be had to the usages of tho church to which he attached himself, to the books con taining the creed or tennets of religious faith of that church, and to ecclesiastical history. When by resort to such or similar means the theolog ical belief of the grantor if clearly ascertained, and when satisfactory information is likewise afforded as in tho present Instance by compe tent, evidence as to tho intent of the maker of the conveyance, although the language used In such conveyance as indientivo of the intent may not be altogether free from obscurity a court of equity will interpose In favor of thoso who may equitably claim under the grant, and offered its aid and protection against every infringement or the equitable rights which have thus accru ed. In the leading case in England, that of the Attorney-General vs. Plerson. 8rd Merlv. 352 the purpose declared in tho deed was simply "the worship and sorvlao of God." Those words In England, without more, are deemed to create a trust for the established religion. Yet tho proof hiivingclcarly established that the purpose of tho trust was tho malntainance of dissenting doctrines the court decreed that pur pose to be carried into execution, and would not permit its Irustrution in the slightest degree. And a similar ruling was mado In tlio case of Kinlskem vs. Tho Lutheran Churches, t te., 1 Sandf. .h. It. 4.W. Ko doubt is entertained that the gift under consideration is a charity, and falls within the meaning of tlio rules of chancery, 2ml Storoy Eg., Jur llflt and cases cited. And although 111 consequence of the non-Incorporation of the Church for whoso benefit the grant was made, there was no tn esse at the time of making the donation, capable or being a charitable oue, u court of equity having ascer tained the. Intent of tho grantor will not allow the grant on that account to fail, but will see to Its cfiectuntlou. 2nd Storey Equity Jur. j lKi'i. WW and i-ae cited.

PKNITENTIAItY MATTERS, New Kulcs, The new Inspectors of the Penitentiary, State Auditor Holliday, State Treasurer Mercer, and Attorney General Hockadav,havc availed them selves of the first opportunity to make a thor ough investigation of the condition of that Insti tution. On Tuesday last tlio Inspectors of tho Peni tentiary met and performed this work. A num ber of convicts were examined separately, their wants ascertained, and their grievances Inqui red Into. The cells were examined, the matter of clothing and food Inspected. The result Is. the Inspectors are themselves satisfied that the convicts ore ns well treated as when the Peni tentiary was under tho management of tho State. All the prisoners, with a few exceptions are comfortably clad, and the food Is of a good and wholesome character, and amply sufficient in quantity. In tho opinion of tho Inspectors, the Lessees have don- the best they could under the circumstances, and the trouble they encoun ter Is from tho want of facilities to utilize the la bor of the convicts. There arc between 300 and 4()0 prisoners who cannot be worked for tho want of room within tho walls and other facili ties. The Inspectors found that there was no rea son or excuse for the recent revolt, and believe it was a preconcerted matter to iiitliienct legis lation, and grew out of want of proper disci pline. The Inspectors have adopted new rules mid regulations which will be rigidly cn'urced. One of the rules requires u monthly inspection of the cells and clothing of the convicts, in order to see that the convicts are duly cared for by tho Les sees. Another requ'res tlio suppression of newspa pers from among the convicts, containing arti cles calculated to inflame their minds and create insubordination. Railroad Commissioners. Some of tho provision of n bill introduced by Mr. Shields in tho State Legislature, provid ing for a board of Railroad Commissioners, are as ful'owws : Section one provides for the Immediate ap pointment by the Governor of five commission ers, each to hold office until the first ol January 1877.

Before entering upon their duties the commissioners are to take an oath that they are not disqualifi ed, mid that they will faithfully discharge tin duties ol tho office to the best of their ability, and enter 10,000 bond, to be approved by the governor. Section five provides that tho commissioners shall make out and keep a record of all com plaints or other papers addressed to them ol all the facts learned in relation to any casual ties; on special occasions to employ experts or others whoso services may be temporarily of im portance. At least three times eacli year the shall carefully examine the condition of the sev eral railroads in the State, and whenever they have reasonable cause to believe that any of the tracks, bridges or other structures are In a con dition dangerous to, or unfit for transportation of passengers with reasonable safety, they sliuli inspect and examine the same, and on ascertain ing such facts to be true notify the supervision officer of the railroad company witli the amount of repairs necessary. The commissioners may also order and direct the speed of trains over sueli dangerous and defective track or bridge until tlio repairs ure mado; and if any super In dent or executive officer receiving such notice shall wilfully neglect for two days to direct the proper subordinate officers to comply -with tlio directions of tho commissioners, such supcrln- dent, etc., shall be deemed guilty of mlsdemea-' nor, etc., and in case of death through their neg ligence they shall bo deemed guilty of a misde meanor. Why Don't You? A man called at a drug store yesterday, hav ing a ten cent chroino under his arm, and In quired of tho clerk if they framed pictures thero. "No, sir; this is a drug storo," replied tho clerk. "So you don't frame chromos here!'" inquired the man after looking around. "No, sir; us I told you before this is a drug storo," again re sponded Iheclerk. The man looked in the show case, pawed over tho spougo basket and m a short tiino spoke up; "Then you don't frumo chromos, eh!-'' "Hav'nt I told you twice al ready thai this was a drug store!-" shouted tho clerk. "No, sir, wo don't fraino chromos." "Then you dou't, ch " inquired tlio man, not in tlio least abashed, "but why don't your" Tho conundrum was too much for the clerk. Ex.

SAMUELS' HOUSE WITH TERRIBLE RESULTS. One Child Killed and Three Persons Seriously Wounded by the - Explosion, Two of tlio James Boys in Irons anil Abducted. Under tlio foregoing I'risrhtful licnd-lint's tho Kansas City Times details tv tlcsperato ronconter between soino Chicago dulcc tives ntul tlio .1 .lines hoys: Tl'KSHAY MOIiNMJrti about half past one o'clock, Mr. Samuels, the step-father of the .Limes boys, awoke, and found Mrs. Samil"ls in tlieiemio con dition. IIo said lie linanl-ii noise in the kitchen, and thonjrlit he snu lled lire At this he got out ol bed and went out of 4111! door of lii s room to o into the kitchen. When lie got outside lio discovered the west end of tho kitchen to be on lire. Tlio house is log. weather boarded. Mr. S at oneo went iiround to the flro and com menced to tear off the boards. In the meanwhile Mrs. Samuels had come KltOM HF.lt koom wth her children, Johnnie, aged l.i year. H little girl aged 3 years and a boy aged 10. When she got "into the kitchen she found the nego woman and her three chil dren up. Mrs. Samuels saw a quilt on tho bed nil re. This she tore off und threw out of doors. She then discovered .some thing on tlio floor which alio took to bo n turpentine ball. It was on fire. She tit tempted . TO PICK it i f, but found it too heavy. She then tried to push it into tho lire with her foot, but full ed. At this moment Mr. Samuels came in, having extinguished the flames, nnd lie tried to kick the snpposed ball into tin lire, but failed. II" then took a shovel md threw it into the llre-plae'o. As h--did this it exploded. It was a bomb, o more correctly speaking, what is known as n, hand grenade, a ball about ono inch in thickness nnd lined with wuoroilT IKON. As it exploded a portion of it struck Mr. Samuels on the riirht side ol the head Inn tailed to knock him senseless; another portion slruek Mrs. Samuels a low inches nbovo the right wrist, shattering all that portion ol her arm ; another struck the little boy, ten years old, under tho third rib. on the lelt side, and penetrated ids bowels; still another pieeo struck tho ser vant on the head, but did no serious in jury. THEY CAltltIKO tlio little boy out on the poich and into tin yard, nnd ho died in two h uim rtter. Mr Samuels now began to call to his neigh Imps lor help. A Mr. Chancellor, livint about a halt a milo distant, heard the ex plosion nnd started for Mr. Samuels house, but on hearing seveial shots wen1 back. Mr. Dan Askew, noithe ist about i quarter of a mile, heard the call and went at oneo to tho scene. What follows are tho facts as dnt iiled. precisely, to the reporter by Sheriff Groom In tho morning THE TIIACKS OP HOUSES were discovered leading from tho "barn to u spot in tho horse lot. In the rear o tho ice-hoiis-i (oast of dwelling) won lound tho tracks ol lour or live men. Tin fence on a diagonal fine from (be ire house to the horse lot was found to be riddled with balls. In the vicinity of til blood in the horse lot thero were indica tions which showed that the horses HAVE SUDDENLY TUKNKD and went oft inJa northwestorly direction of tho barn, then went into a wheat field Blood was discovered at this spot and nil along the route the horses went as far as they could be traced. On the west sido of the barn it was found that a hors had been hitched. Mr. Samuels says he heard a horso going at A RA1H KATE from that point down ' west of the homso, through the "woods" on the south, an around the "ice-house." Three men wero tracked in a northea terly direction for some distance and the' west to a spot on the Hnyncsvllle road where it was found that seven horses ha boon tied. A navy, loaded, was lound li Iront of the ice-house. Dr. Scruggs wav visiting Mr. Chancellor's house, nonr by. lie had hitohed his horse in a CLOSELY FENCED LOT. When he came out to return It was inlsslnjt, and him been ever since. Dr. Sheets, of Green villo, Dr, Allen, of Liberty, and Drs. Yatei and Scruggs, of Kearney, wero summoned in the morning. Mrs. Samuels was suffering intense l:dn from the wound, hi d amputu'lou became necessary about two inches below tho elbow. THIS IS TltK STORY. Soma eoacluilooK are Inevitably odittd ttf4 the tucta, and tome urml may bo made up made up from rumors. Firt, thero win a fight: there can be no doubt of this, who tho parties were is simply conjecture. Second, , thero was an attempt to burn the home. Doubtlcnt tho parties did tbi tv FRrSTKATK THE FAMILY while they were engaged in their designs, winch evidently were baicd on the suspicion that the James boys wero nn tho promise. Third, that somebody outsido the hotne got hurt. THE SCKMISK8 arc a follow, baed upon rumors ! On thr night ot the battle the Incoming train on the Hannibal iixd St. Joe. road, bound west, was Hugged about a mile and a half west of Kear ney, and four men got off the train. This same thing occurred at the same place about a week ago. Again, it Is stated that a locomotive and caboose left this city at midnight, of the same dale, and hi It were several men known to have been Pinkerton's CIIIl'AOO HKTP.t'TIVKS; that the 1 tics between here and Cameron were not in operation; that early in the morninv thht same engino and caboose were seen to pass Chllllcollie, and It was understood that the James boys were in the rnhoosc heavily Ironed. The conclusion would appear to be that the men who got off the train a week ago were detec tives who WKKK ON THE I.A.Y; that thev ascertained what they Wanted, and the caboose of Tuesday til lit contained others, and that others got oil' the train when It stop ped a mile ami u half beyond a station. The people of ( lav dimity. a far us the re porter could learn, deeply deplore the uttair all a roll nd. They regret that the James boys ejime back to their tnld-t in this manner, if they did conic lit all, Wnlfll THEY SF.KW TO IMWItT. Just how fur a band of detective-", or anybody else, should go in their ultcmpr to rupture out laws Is not definitely known. If they have to resort to throwing hoinh-.-diclTs into a family of Innocent children and women, it U questionable whether their efforts to rid the coi-ntry of ban dit will accomplish their purposes Two wrongs never made a right.
