PERMANENT INJUNCTION.
Lash's Bitters an Imitation of the
Genuine Roberts.
Victor J. Gregory's Victory Over j. j
Spieker After Long and Very
Tedious Litigation.

Judge Catlin yesterday decided the
! long-contested case of V. ]. Gregory VS..
J. J. Spieker in favor of the plaintiff, and
/ he appointed Arthur Seymour of this city
as referee, with authority to ascertain
and report to the court definite findings
showing the profits made by Spieker
since February 10, 1884, from the manu-
facture and sale of the article known as
"Lash's Kidney and Liver Bitters," i'll
order that judgment may be entered in
Gregory's favor.
/ The court also ordered that the tenn
porary injunction heretofore granted
shall remain and stand as perpetual in
| junction.
The case, it will be remembered, grew
out of the sale by Spieker to Gregory of
compound known as the Roberts Kid
ney and Liver Bitters'' in 1854. Shortly
4 after the transfer was effected it appears
! that Spieker commenced the manufacture
and sale of "Lash's Kidney and Liver
Bitters,' but he concealed his identity
and connection with the firm by carry
ing on the business under the copartner-
ship of L. NJ. Lash q Co. Spleker, how
ever, became involved in litigation with
| Lash, during the progress OF which he
! unWlLtlngIy made known the formula OF
''Lash's' bitters and his connection with
the firm.
These facts reached the ears of Gregory,
and comparison of the formula of the orig
inal ''Roberts'" :" Bitters, with Spieker's
sworn testimony, together with many
other satisfactory proofs at hand, soon
brought the matter to a focus, and with
| the result stated.
Spieker admitted the fact that he sold
the Roberts Bitters formula to Greg
ory in 1884, and he endeavored to
secure relief by appeal to the statute of
OF limitations; but that security was
denied him, for the reason that the court
found he had fraudulently concealed from
! defendant the fact that he was engaged in
the manufacture and sale of said Roberts
Bitters under another name. The statutes
did not therefore apply i'll the plaintiffs
| action.
The immunity Speaker received during
the several years between 1884 and the
| present, did not leave its impress upon
| him; for, when he and his partner, Lash,
/ began to scramble for the spoils," his
ambitiOus struggles for advantage caused
him to lay aside all thought OF discretion;
and, like many another man nnder SINH
lar circumstances, he talked, and talked
too much," to the extent that he was
! Gregory's best witness in the case.
Ihe importance OF the case has excited
| considerable interest, owing to the we'll
established reputation OF both the Rob-
erts and Lash Bitters. That interest is
magnitied by development of the facts
leading to the discovery of the peculiar
manner in which Spieker's work was
detected.
1t is estimated that the damages for
Gregory's benefit will run into many
thousands OF dollars.
Armstrong, PIatneur and Bruner were
attorneys tor the plaintiff.

ADJUSTMENTS

1.-THE Ruined Abbey" by Professor J.
D. Moynahan, was given at the Clunie
Opera-house last evening to an audience
OF about three hundred people. The
players were Clyde Hess, Emily Althea
Hess and Otto B. Wilkie with amateurs
in support. The piece in the hands of a
trained company of professionals would
play well. 1t is fashioned after the con-
ventional Irish dramas, and has a flavor
all through of "Arrah Ma Popue.p stCol-
len Bawn," and the like. AS in all such
pieces, there is the pretty Irish girl,
daughter of farmer. loved by the hero,
an Irish lad who is Door; a tyrannical
landlord who wants the girl and opposes
the lovers ana their families; his accom-
plice, an Irish informer or low DOWN.:
a peasant. half-witted or mirthfully cum
ming, and his sweetheart, pretty, tantalfz-
ing and witty; then are a muir
der in the dark; a duel; circumstan-
tial evidence backed by the confession
of the accomplice and the testimony of the
Shaun of the play; and finally the death
of the aristocratic villain and the triumph
OF virtue over vice. Here we have all
over again the characters in ranging
lights with which Boucicault wove 50
many pretty dramas out of other peoples
stories. The RECORD D-UNIoN has no dis
position to be harsh with the amateurs,
but for their own good and future peace
and happiness, it kindly says to the last
one OF them "don't''; be content with
what you have done and do not try again.
1t is not in you, not one; strive as you
may, it will not be possible for you to
rise above the very ordinary. If you
should take to the stage society would
lose very useful members from other
walks of life. You did just as we'll SIS you
knew how last night; some of you better
than expected; but as a rule, if you had
been well advised you would not have
made the attempt There are some good
readers in the group, but you all declaim;

like automotors; you cannot help it. Mr..
Oldheid we apprehend would read
tragic poem or deliver one of Cicero's
orations well. But that does not
mean that Mr.. OIdfeId can act now,
or ever will. Talents are for purposes
specltlc and clear; rarely do they indicate
the versatility essential to the actor, or
capacity to assume a character foreign to
ones nature. Miss Pearl Baldwin, pretty
and graceful, reads WELL would declaim
We'll, and has more quality indicating
possibilities on the stage; but no good
friend would advise her to attempt the
development. Emotional actresses are
born: they are rarely created out OF ma
ture LIE. Mr.. Liebling has ability, but it
is probable that he has reached his linn
itatiOns already, and that he will ever
learn to speak out or give to his tones the
variation Interpretation of the passions
and emotions demands, no one expects.
Miss Caskey has no place on the stage,
even as an amateur, though she excited
admiration by her endeavor and vigor.
Mr.. Heatherly more nearly than any other
interpreted and got rid of self in his part;
but he IS, and always will be, an infinitely
better skilled worker at his trade than
an actor, which he has an ambition to be-
come. Mr.. Burden has key note, and
was true to it all through, but a single
tone becomes wearisome. MIR. Burden

in all kindness to these worthy ladies

as is advice unsolicited-do not attempt
the melodrama again. In your cases the
twig has been too long bent, the tree is
inclined and you cannot now warp it to
other growth. 1t was a kindly audience,
and the play was well received. The
people realized fully the trnth Of what we
have here expressed, and so they were
patient and gentle to the players. The
one bright ray of light in the piece, the
single CLEAN of sunshine that penetrated
the gloom of the drama (which, if ever
given again must have lighting up'' as
artists express it,, was the dancing and
singing and vivacity, wit, bright eyes and
naturalness of Mrs. Hess. Her art, in
the amateur sea, was like the oasis in the
desert. ''The Ruined Abbey'' wants
overhauling. Georgiana should be ac-
counted for or apOlogized for; she can be
buried and the play bettered; the comedy
lines be strengthened and expanded. and
the piece then given to good professionals
will go. 1t will then be as good as six.

Justice Henry's Office was filed with a
perspiring crowd of talesmen and others
yesterday morning to hear the case OF
Angus Ross, who is charged by Sheriff
O'Neil with allowing a faro game to be
carried on in his building at the corner of
Second and K streets.
c. 7. Jones and E. C. Hart appeared as
attorneys for Ross. The former stated
the defendant was not ready for trial, as
A. J. Rhoads, who is an important wit
ness for him, is at Harbin Springs, and
will not return 10 this city before Sunday.
Jones also thought that more airy and
cooler quarters for the trial might be pro-
cured, as the audience will probably be a
large one, and a confined room with the
thermometer at 950 in the shade is decid-
edly uncomfortable.
No objection 10 the continuance was
made by the prosecution, and the court
continued the case till July 5th.
The attorneys for the defense gave no.
tice that to-day they would move the
court to dismiss the case on the ground
OF want of jurisdiction.

A Careless Cart-Driver Meets With a
Disastrous Experience.
A man named Armbuster, who was
driving in a cart and said to be intoxi-
Gated, tried to cross the track ahead of an
electric car yesterday afternoon at Four
teenth and streets, and collision en-
sued.
The cart was wrecked, Armbuster and
the horse slightly hurt and considerable
excitement was caused by the accident.
Armbuster was taken to the Receiving
Hospital in the patrol wagon, where his
injuries were pronounced painful but not
serious.
Those witnessing the accident said the
car men could not be blamed, as the col
lsion was caused by the recklessness of
Armbuster
