BETSEY AND l ARE OUT.
DisagrecabIc Termination of an Old
pnrtmershin.

Mr.. George H. Noyes to-day filed bill In
equity against Edwin n. Gray, dsking for d
dissolution Of the partnership existing be-
tween Gray & Noyes, and foe an injunction,
receiver and account Tho bill sets forth
that in the year 1863 the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT formed c0-partnership under the
firm name of Gray & Noycs, for the purpose
of carrying on the business of iron founders.
Prior to the formation df thu firm the plain
tiff had been engaged in the manufacture of
machinery and was in possession of certain
property, valued ut 5000, which he con-
hibutcd TO the firm of Gray & Noycs, while
the defendant put in only S2j. During the
past eighteen years they have done work
the aggregate cost of which Is II 500 600
The real estate of the firm consists of lots
49, 90, 81 and 90 in reservation &C." lots I,
9, % and 20 in the same reservation. lot
10, square ii2, and lot II, square west of
square 623, all of which Is encountered.
There never has been any settlement
of accounts between the parties, but the
books showed that the defendant has drawn
from the business SJ,9Il,51 more than the
plaintiff and that the firm Is indebted to
the plaintiff for S321013, money loaned on
January |, 1880. There is considerable un-
finished work on hand but how much is
not known. The plaintiff AYERS that while
he has faithfully performed his part in the
partnership he has had much occasion du.
ring the past four years to be dissatisfied
with the conduct Of the defendant ds
the business. The defendant is
naturally inclined to be ovcrbearing, and
has at times been under the influence of
Intoxicating liquors. Within the past year,
the plaintiff being satisfied that it was i'm
practicable for him longer to continue
business relations with the defendant, pro-
posed to him mutual dissolution of the
firm and an amicablo adjustment of the
accounts, which he declined. The I'M
friendly disposition of the defendant to-
ward the plaintiff, the latter claims, has
been growing more intense, and on Satur-
day last, in the course of conversation
between them, the defendant gave express
sion to his ill-feeling by the use of vile
relations having got to such an
state it is thought impossible to
longer carry on the business together.

The case of Officer Farquhar, accused by
Mary Ann Murphy with beating and NAL.
treating her, came up before Judge Smell
this morning. The evidence showed that
the officer, in attempting to arrest the
woman, had to use more or less force. She
was very drunk, and gave him considerable
trouble. After hearing the evidence Judge
Smell said woman had the same right to
get drunk as u man, but when in that con.
dition they must expect to accept the con.
sequences resulting from it. He could not
see from the evidence that the officer used
more force than was necessary to get the
woman to the staton-house, and dismissed
the case

A Desperate Fight about a woman

A desperate fight took place last Sunday
afternoon between two colorcd men named
John Fisher and Joseph Holland in Clark s
alley, southwest. Holland attacked Fisher
with knife and then knocked him down
with brick, which made fearful and dan
gerous confusion on the back of his head,
severing the posterior auricular artery ~
which bled profusely. Both men were ar
rested and taken to the First Precinct DO.
lice station. DIR. IL. Jones was called in
and succeeded in stopping the hemorrhage
by sewing up the wound and administering
the usual remedies. He says that it was a
very dangerous lesion, and that Lieut. Cess
ford deserves much credit for the discretion
AIRY power he used in allowing the man to
be taken home TO be treated, as he believes
that the man would have died had he been
held at the station-house.

Cheap Books.


English people are good deal exercised
in mind just now in regard TO cheap novels
The fact that "Endymi0n cannot be
bought in England for less Than 3lS. Cd
81 5O-while in America il can be bought
| for Is cents, worries them-wOTries them
"a good deal. A breeze has been raised IN tue
| Times by Il correspondent wiring for and
against the reduction OF the absurdiy- high
| prices, and while, Of course, no practical
result has been reached by this treatment
Of the matter, one Of the self-appOinted
writers uncOnsciOusly has got down
to the hard pan-really has explain
ed why il is that novel cannot
be placed on the market and probably
sold for half crown. The point that the
correspondent wishes to make l. that only
a very few novels are so genuinely popular
as TO make their sale at popular prices
proftable. lie writes: "Tbe whole truth
lies in a nutshell. The great novel-reading
public infinitely prefers In binety-nine cases
out Of one hundred borrowing three
volume novel for siXpencc 10 buying II In
one volume for two shIlliDgs siXpence."
The impossibiity OF publishing cheap books
ia England is here given, as The correspond
ept would say, lin a nutshell the cheap
circulating libraries. Nude covers the
country pretty eiiectualiy. and in the
regions which he does not supply there
are local libraries based upon the system
that he has devised. Thus. anywhere IN
Engiand the three volumes o" Endymion
can be borrowed for twOpence yolYme,
while the odd pence that must be added Tor
costs OF carriage brings the total cost TO pre-
cisely that OF the Fianklin-Square pamphlet.
There Is good deal 10 be SAID in favor OF
each system. Ours gives a new, unsoiled
copy Of the book TO each reader; theirs
gives the book TO each reader in much bet
ter type aud more convenient form. But
both countries have cneap rcading-much
TOO cheap In England 10 make The publici'
lion Of half.crown books pay.
