Theatrical Troubles.

The partnership suit OF the ~ and r
theatrical company came up before Judge
Wallace again yesterday. II. c. MePike
for a. Hermann, one of the partners in the
company, objected to the report of Receiver
W. L. Falch, on the ground that no vouch-
ers accompanied the report and that since
Falch's appointment the receipts had ex-
ceeded the disbursements by some $4,000,
for which he waEted a proper accounting
shown. Attorney McKisick for Falch, who
is now in New York. argued that objections
TO the report must be made in writing, and.
if an investigation is desired, it should be
before a referee. Judge Wallace said that
he believed the report to be fraudulent on
its face. The fact that the account balanced
to a cent and that no vouchers were pre-
scented is most suspicious, and Receiver
Falch should be held responsible for the
$50. 600 received. The matter was then con-
tinued 70 allow exceptions to the report 10
