A Firms Affairs in Court.

Chaplin G. Foster and Marcus L. Brown formed
partnership the 18th of April. 1880. At the
expiration of the first year continuance of
partnership was acquiesed in without any formal
agreement. Jan. /, 1884, they dissolved,
when it was found that the net profits of the
concern were 500. 053 81, of which outstanding
accounts represented SIS. 03651. An arbitration
was suggested by Foster relative to the value of
these accounts, but defendant neglected to select
his arbitrator. Afterw ards the partners agreed
to place them at $500 less than their face
value or 1885, 81. The net profits were thus
reduced to 1927, 553. 81, or 49, 776.72 for each.
These allegations are made in q complaint
filed by Foster yesterday against Brown. 1t is
further charged that during the partnership
Brown drew out $l1, 635 16. and that lot was
bought and house erected thereon at the cost
ment of the firms affairs Brown took the house
at So 300. plaintiff agreeing to loss of $64l. %
thereon. Defendants account, it is said ex-
ceeded his proportion of profits by $158. a. The
stock on hand was worth SIS, 11750. which, with
overstancing accounts, made the total assets
$28. Goa ii. Plaintiff says he assumed the debts
of the firm and paid them. The books were
kept by Brown but Foster alleges that an ex-
pert examination of them has revealed errors to
the amount of $93360 He also claims that
Brown should be charged with $466 so. deducted
from the outstanding accounts, and also with
$679 04 for money laid out for him by the firm.
Foster asks Judgment for $1,000 in each of the
two paragraphs of complaint.

now of Louisville. has just returned to that city

Courier-Journal reporter makes the following
statement relative to the suit brought against
him by residents of this city:
an. Ell. Floyd and j. G. voss, of indianapolis,
have sued me for something over 81, 900 as ad-
ministrator for the estate of 6 81. Voss, who
died ABOUT two years ago. AS the papers pub
hshed the fact that | have been sued / wish
you would say for me that do rot owe a cent on
any OF the four notes. 1t is said that the estate
got the notes from the First National
Bank. do not owe the bank and / do not owe
the estate, and these men have no claim me
whatever. Ii they ever had a claim against me
1t has been legally liquidated long since The
entire proceeding looks queer No demand for
payment Of such notes has ever been made on
me, and | should think respectable attorney
would certainly have made such demand before
bringing suit 1t is also queer that the suit
should have been brought in my absence. / am
out of Louisville not more than thirty days in
the year, yet they select my absence of two weeks
In New York as the time for bringing this action.
Looks queer, doesn't t2 1t is also said that these
notes have been due since some time in 1870 and
10 l lived in Indianapolis three or four
years after those dates, yet no effort was then
made to collect any such notes, and did not
hear of any such claim. [ saw Mr. Voss less
than three months before he died. yet he men,
loneo no such Indebtedness lie calieu on me
in Louisville to consult me as to the responsible
1ty Of man with whom he had business He
was pretty shrewd business man, and Iathink
that if he thought | owed him anything he
would have said something about it. l know
that, so far as am concerned. the notes were
legally cancelled long ago, as these people could
have found if they had consulted me or made
any proper inquiries l understand that young
Voss had an ambition to go into the variety
business as manager; but if he wants to break
into the legitimate he will have to try some
other theater than mine"

What the Bosses Have to Saw.

President Depew, of the New York Central
taken by the Attorney general of Pennsylvania
10 prevent the sale of the South Pennsylvania
and Beach Creek roads to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. He says that seven-tenths
OF the gentlemen who united to build the south
arn road decided that they would like to part
with their interest in it, and that all they have
% sell is "a charter. lot of holes in the ground
some cuiverts some grading and partially pur
chased right of way" The Attorney general
gets an injunction to prevent them from selling
out to the Pennsylvania Company, which is the
only party capable of buying and Mr.. Depew
thinks that, to be consistent, the State ought not
only to compel the parties who do not wish to do
so to build the road. but also to guarantee them
against loss. The Beech Greek road is COM
p1eted road about one hundred miles long,
and the State also proposes to prevent
its owners from selling, after they have
found that they prefer to sell it rather
than continue running it. MIR. Depew con-
okudes that there is no ground for the action and
that it will be so held by the courts
The attorney general of the Pennsylvania road
ia quoted as saying. when asked his opinion as
To Che proba BILE ultimate result of the proceedings
instituted by Attornsy- general Cassidy against
Vanderbilt and the other members of the South
Pennsylvania syndicate: 1T will fall fiat. In

vania Railroad Company is in New York city.

should be declared in contempt by Pennsyl

or elsewhere under which man can be re-

stockholders were left choice but to accept the
terms offered by the Pennsylvania Railroad
