 I hoped that MT.

But it is not surprising that the inauguration of new system, involving revolution so radical as this law makes the sources of old habits and of deeply rooted ideas, should lead many to distrust the power and permanency of the new regime, if not also to boldly disregard it's requirements.

 The libel is based upon circular which the defendant is alleged to have circulated. headed, f'To- the friends and patrons of E. F. Carpenter The circular is a remarkable production. It begins by stating that in 1876 the defendant gave work to the plaintiff, who was the son of old friend and look ing for a job. Then he gave him some stock and told him he could carry on business in his own name, and as soon as he could pay for the property it would be re ally his. The plaintiff was to draw $75 month and use no money. The defendant found that the plaintiff was depositing in the bank such part of the collections as he thought would not be missed and was using it at will De-
 
 plaintiffs allowance to $125 a month on securing his promise to be faith ful. Defendant paid his help and supported his family and got nothing for it except growing column of charges against B. F. Carpenter. As his business grew and he had enlarged his quarters, which were filed with stock defendant had paid for. it did not disturb him, but plaintiff began to be ''restive." The defendant says: Horses and carriages began to appear at the door of my factory owned by MT.

The plaintiff declined unless he owned half the stock. Defendant relates how the plaintiff took all his books, cash in safe, rec ords, etc., etc. "in all upwards of $100, ,000 in valuable assets" and secreted them.

Counsel Making Their Arguments Be-
 fore Judge Wallace.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The suit between the Bell and Peoples Telephone companies, which is now going on before Judge Wallace in the United States circuit court, is in many respects one of the most important cases ever tried by judge of the circuit court. It involves the right to the possession of pa- tents worth many millions of dollars. If the Bell Telephone company is defeated, any person or persons so disposed will have the right to manufacture and sell telephones and the various fixtures connected with them, without the payment of royalties or other fees. The importance of the suit has all ready given to it great prominence in legal as well as business circles. This morn ing, when Roscoe Conkliug, Senator Ed munds, E. " Dickerson, J. J. Storrow and other lawyers entered the court room, it was already well filled. Half an hour later every seat and every foot of standing room was 1 taken. Among the persons present to-day were A. Melville Bell, father of Pro- lessor A. Graham Bell; Morris F. Tyler, of New Haven; Charles w. Clifford, of New Bedford; Judge 0. S.
