CONCERNS ASSETS AS THEY SEE FIT.
At a meeting of creditors of the late publishing
firm of f. Tennysop Nicely & Co., held yesterday
at the office of Morris S Wise referee in bank
ruptcy. at No. % Exchange Place, it was voted TO
give the trustees appointed settle the affairs
assets they might see fit and in such manner as
would be of the most benefit to all creditors con-
cerned.
While the vote was a unanimous one. Il was not
taken until after discussion Of more than an
hour. The meeting was attended by more than
hundred creditors, and called TO place before
them the reasons OF the trustees for asking for
full authority act. The statement was to the
effect that 1t had been found that forced sale of
the assets of the bankrupt hTm was inadvisable
and was not in the opinion of the trustees, best
calculated to bring the largest returns TO the credi-
tors The trustees asserted that the assets con-
sisted mainly OF books by unknown and unpopular
authors copyrights and copperplates of unfinished
publications and office furniture. II had been
found. also that many of the contracts between
the firm and its patrons were valueess.
Mr. Nicely who sat near Referee Wise. was on
several occasions denounced in harsh terms hav-
ing been most interruptions in his business deal
ings. Others were inclined to the view that the
publisher had victim of circumstances rather
than that they his victims. One Of the credi-
tors objected vigorously the assertion in the
petition that the books were by obscure authors.
Mr.. Wise said he thought he was mistaken in the
term. and the author Indignantly cried:
II not sporting man, but I'll bet a dollar TO
Nicely contract that I'm right
mistaken unknown for obscure" and he was
satisfied. saying he sat down that he was willing
to he called unknown, but would not stand for
being called obscure"
The meeting was adjourned until next Friday.
