CONFUSION LIKELY 70 COME FROM If Harvard and Princeton Men En- gage in Practice. MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL The foot ball rules for the season of 1895- 06 have been issued. A number of the rules Ihave undergone considerable change. When two teams decide to play there must now be a distinct understanding whether the match shall be played under the com- Promise rules of 1895, the Yale-Princeton modification of 1895, or the Harvard-Pern- eylvania-Cornell modification of 1895. Some of the most important changes are: “Rule 8. A fair catch is a catch made direct from a kick by one of the opponents (or @ punt out by the same side), providing the man intending to make the catch in- dicates that intention by holding up his hand when running for the ball, and also makes a mark with his heel upon catching it, and no other of his side touches the ball. If he be interfered with by an op- ponent who is off-side, or if he be thrown after catching the ball, he shall be given fifteen yards, unless this carry the ball across the goal line. In that case he shall be given but half the intervening distance. After having raised his hand he cannot run with the ball, but must take his fair kick, if he should succeed in making one.”’ By this rule, as amended by Yale and Princeton, the catcher does not have to in- dicate his intention by raising his hand. As amended by Harvard-Pennsylvanta- Cornell, the catcher’s intention need not be indicated, and, while he cannot run with the ball himself, he may pass It to one of his own side, who can run with it or kick it; otherwise it must be put in play on the spot where the fair catch ‘s made. In case the ball is muffed, the opponents shall have an equal chance at the ball. Umpire and Referce. Rule 14 has been amended by Yale and Princeton, so that in addition to an um- pire, a referee and a linesman, there shall be an assistant linesman. Any official may disqualify a player subject to the rule of the umpire; the umpire alone can be ap- pealed to by the captains regarding foul and unfair tactics; no appeal can be made except through the captain; the three cffi--| eials shall formulate ground rules. As amtended by Harvard-Pennsylvanta- Cornell, there shall be two umpires, a ref- eree and a linesman, who shall be nomi- nated by the captains end confirmed by the faculty athletic committees of the respect- ive universities. Rule 15, which defines the power, duties, etc., of the referee, umpire and lineSman, !s amended by Harvard-Pennsylvania-Cornell. The referee is charged with the duty of giving testimony in all cases of fouls or violations of the rules seen by him to either of the umpires, who shall accept such tes- timony as conclusive, and shall impose the penalty for the offense committed prescrib- ed by the rules. An important section is the following: After the game, all questions or disqualifi- cations shall go before a committee of four, to be chosen by the faculty or athletic com- mittee of the two competing untversities— two from each. This committee shall have power to dis- qualify for the remainder of the season, for @ year or for any longer time, according to its discretion. In case of a tle vote, the committee shall choose a fifth member, and the decision of the majority shall be final. The Kick-of. Yale and Princeton adcpted the follow- ing to rule 20 regarding the kick-off: “If either side shall forfeit the ball twice with- out its going into the flelds of play, it shall go as a first down at center of fields to opponents.” Rule 22 is substituted by Yale and Prince- ton as follows: “After a fair catch, the ball may be put in play by a player of the side having made the catch. It may be put in play by a free kick or by a scrim- mage, the point of scrimmage being the catcher’s mark. If by a free kick, the appo- nents must not advance beyond the catcher’s mack, and the ball must be kick- ed from some point behind that mark on a parallel -with the touch line.’” In rule 24, dealing with offside play, Yale and Princeton permit a player who is off- side to seize the ball on a fumble on scrim- mage. Yale and Princeton make the following substitute in regard to rule 30, section C, touching mass plays: “In scrimmage not more than one man shall start forward before the ball is in play. Not more than three men shall group themselves at a point behind the line of scrimmage before the ball is in play.” Other sections of rule 30 remain un- changed. The three sets of rules will undoubtedly cause considerable misunderstanding in the games this season. It will be neces- sary to decide, however, two weeks in ad- vance as to which rules the match shall be played under. Prelimininary Work of the Foot Ball Teams. Capt. Arthur Brewer of Harvard and about thirty candidates for the foot ball team began the preliminary training sea- son yesterday. Of last year’s team, be- sides Capt. Brewer, there appeared Jack Fairchild, Dunlop, Charlie Brewer, “Beef” Wheeler, Hallowell and Edgar Wrighting- ton. The two Shaws, the heavy center men of last year’s eleven, are expected to- morrow, as well as Half-hback Jack Hayes. Cabot will be on hand by the end of the week. Bob Wrenn, the dashing quarter, will not return to college, and the eleven will also miss the services of ex-Capt. Em- mons, Waters and Mackie.

The first coe be played September 28 with ou: Practice at Princeton. The foot ball season was opened at Prince- ton yesterday, when, in responso to Capt. Lea’s orders, the members of last year’s team reported for practice at the "Varsity field. The management is disappointed at the dearth of valuable material among the new candidates. Among the most promis- ing men are Lea, '06; Rhodes, ‘97; Smith, ‘87; Poe, '97; Beymer, "97; Ayres, Ban- non, ‘98; Northrup, ‘#9; Cochran, ’97; Arm: strong, ‘97; Reynolds, "07, and Church, '97. The work for several weeks will consist of light practice, passing and falling on the THE BATTING WAS HEAVY. Washington: Somewhat Their Standing. ‘The Washingtons split even on their two games with the Brooklyns yesterday and improved their position three points. As St. Louis did not play, the gap separating the Senatcrs from the Browns was some- what increased. The first game was such a slugging match as is seldom seen in these days of many pitchers. Nowadays when a manager sees his pitcher is ineffective he pulls him out and puts in another, and if he also suffers another takes his place. But Kennedy and Mercer were kept*in through- out the first game. The locals bunched their hits in the eighth inning and Cart- wright’s men won out. In the second the visitors had their bat- ting turn, and Anderson, Malarkey and Boswell vainly tried to stop them. A feature of the contests was the con- trast in the playing of Capt. Griffin and Manager Foutz. The former played bril- liantly, catching almost impossible files, while the other fielded like a spavined car horse. Foutz should put a good man in right field.

Young of the National League and President Byrne of the Brook- lyn club, constituting a committee to formulate rules by which the contest for the Temple cup shall be played, have is- sued the rules for the contest. The club finishing second in the cham- pionship sertes shall have the right to challenge the club winning the champion- ship to a serles of games for the posses- ston of the Temple cup. If the club fin- ishing first fails to accept the challenge, then the third club shall have the right to challenge the second’ club. If the club finishing second declines to make the chal- lenge, then the third club shall have the right to do so. The series shall consist of seven games and no more. The games must be ar- ranged in scheduled order by the captains or managers of the contesting teams; three games must be played upon the grounds of the challenged ciub and three on the grounds of the challenging club (if six games are necessary), and the seventh (if such must be played to decide the series), on such grounds as may be mutually agreed upon by the two clubs. In case they cannot agree this committee reserves the right to designate the grounds for the playing of such odd game, and in the event of either club failing to appear at the time and place designated, the club at fault shall forfeit such game. The series shall terminate when elther club shall have won four games. The champion club shall have the right, if it so elects, to have the first three games played on its own grounds. All games must be played as scheduled. ‘The rules further provide that all games are to be played under the regulations and ecnditions which govern regular champion- ship contests; the president of the league skall designate three umpires to officiate in the serles of games, two of whom shall be assigned by him to act in each game; the management of the grounds on which the games are to be played are to donate them to tha teams free of charge; no player shall be permitted to participate in any of the games who has not been under formal contract to the club playing him, at least thirty days prior to September 30; the entire net receipts of all games to be | the sole property of the players of the contesting clubs; the net receipts shall be divided between’ the contesting teams on the basis of 60 percentum to the winning team and 40 vercentum to the losing team. If anything is done which will appear to lower the standard of the games, an- nouncement will immediately be made that any games played will not be for the Temple cup, will not be played under the auspices of the league, and the president will at once cancel all assignments of the appointed umpires. STEINERT CUP SERIES. First Game Won by the Enstern League Champions, The Springfield and Providence teams, champions of the Eastern League for this season and last, respectively, played the opening game at Springfield, Mass., yester- day, in the series for the Albert Steinert cup, presented to the league, to be con- tested for under conditions similar to those governing the Temple cup serles in the National League. A parade and band con- cert preceded the game, and Manager Burns and his players were presented with handsome gold appropriately in- scribed by the di: of the local club. jo the recipient of a ers. tet, Peontoated eae rs sulted in a victo. ring fi roug! timely hitting an Gees effective- ness of Conmnlise ith men on bases.

John Heydler umpired the first game at National Park yesterday and gave univer- sal satisfaction. Manager Schmelz’s criti- cism of Heydler is that he is “too honest.” hney, an amateur from St. Albans, Vt., received a trial in the box by the New Xork club yesterday. Considering the men that played behind him, the youngster did well. The Quakers hit him hard only in the fifth inring, after a chance was given to retire the side. The New York club signed another prom- ising young player yesterday in Harry C. Davis of the Pawtucket club. Davis is a first baseman and an outfielder, and is con- sidered by experts to be a strong batsman. The umpiring of Manager William Barnie of Scranton Sunday, in the game with Providence, proved a “hoodoo” to his own players, and while they outbatted and out- fielded Providence, the game slipped from them at the last minute. The runs made by Scranton were nearly all due to errors by the Providenco infield. The Eastern league base ball season in Wilkesbarre ended Saturday. Tho Spring- fields were the visitors. In the second inning Bonner and Griffin ran for a high fly; they collided and Griffin had a bone in his wrist fractured and Bonner was injured internally. Both were unconscious for a long time. Springfield thereby made eight runs and won 11 to 1. Doyle would like -to get away from the New York club, and it is more than prob- atle that the New York's ex-manager will figure in a deal for First Baseman Tucker of the Bostons. Rain postponed the games scheduled yes- terday at Louisville and Pittsburg. The New York team will play a series of exhibition games through New York, New Jersey and Delaware after the season closes. WHY DUNRAVEN DECLINED. Thought the Committée Should Say Whether the Race Should Be Resailed NEW YORK, September 17.—Ex-Commo- dore James D. Smith, chairman of the America’s cup committee, gave the fol- lowing correspondence to the representa- tives of the press this forenoon, and in handing it over he said: “The letter first submitted from Mr. Iselin explains itself. I do not know where to apply to Lord Dunraven to get a copy of Mr. Iselin’s letter, offering to resall the protested race of September 10, but the fol- lowing correspondence shows the facts, as Mr. Iselin’s letter of’ September 10 also does. The fact of his desire to resail the last two races, or failing in this, to sall the whole match over, was most mag- nanimous and liberal on Mr. Iselin's part, @ fact which, surely, no one can deny.” ¥ollowing is a copy of the letter sent yes- terday by Mr. Iselin to Mr. Smith: “Dear Mr. Smit eptember 10.—I/inclose copies of Dun- raven's two letters to me. Unfortunately 1 did not keep a copy<of the short note I sent him about resailing Tuesday's race, but as he has my,permission to publish it, You can, of course, ‘gbtain a copy from iim. “I consider it most iinfortunate that we could not have devised some way wherehy the last two races,could have been resailed. I still hold that if Dunraven and myself had consentea to have the races resuiled, the committee could have so ordered, and without in any way affecting their position, Now, of course, it is too late to do any- thing, and all that I ask is that my offers be fully set forth in the report of your committee, namely: My hailing at the time of start and finish ofthe last race; my asking for a meeting of the cup committee the next day; my offer to resail both races, and my willingness to begin the whole Match over under any conditions and at any place and time agreeable to Dunraven. “Very truly yours, OLIVER ISELIN.” Copy of Lord Dunraven’s first letter to Iselin: “439 Sth avenue, September 11. “Dear Mr. Iselin—I have received your note, in which you express a wish that yesterday's race should be resailed. This is a proposition to which, of course, I can- not agree. You would not have protested had you not believed that Valkyrie had caused a foul by committing a breach of the rules. If she did, she must take the consequences. The regular committee havo decided, for reasons according to their best judgment, but which I confess are beyond my comprehension, that I did break the rules. I made no protest because I thought the foul was probably accidental, but I ccnsidered that Defender caused it. You consider that Valkyrie was to blame. The committee decides that you are right and I am wrong, and there the matter ends. “Yours very truly, DUNRAVEN.” Copy of Lord Duiraven’s second letter “BAY RIDGE, Thursday. “Dear Mr. Iselin: I certainly cannot en- tertain your suggestion. Had the commit- tee ordered the race to be resailed that would have been a different matter, but how could I possibly agree to resail a race decided and given against me by the de- cision of the committee? I wrote you last right to this effect, and am sorry you did not receive my letter. I had no opportunity of communicating with you this morning, but Mr. Duryea will, I dare say, have in- fermed you as to my views. “Thanking you for your suggestion, I re- main, ours very truly, DUNRAVEN.” INVITED TO HARVARD. The Cambridge, England, Athletes Asked to Cambridge, Mas: CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 17.—Har- vard will not allow the Cambridge athletes to ‘return to England without at least an exchange of courtesies. Today a letier was forwarded to Mr. F. S. Hearn, president of the Cambridge Athletic Assoclation, signed by J. L. Bremer, jr., captain of the Harvard Mott Haven team, and George B. Morrison of the graduate advisory com- mittee, tendering the visiting athletes an invitation to visit Cambridge on the Mon- day following the international games with Yale. The idea is to have the Englishmen spend the day visiting points of interest at the university and about Boston, and to enter- tain them with a banquet at’ the University Club, at which the prominent Harvard athletes will be present. As the visitors return to England on the Wednesday fol- lowing their match with Yale Monday seems to be the only day on which they could visit Harvard, and all the athletes here are ready ‘to welcome them if they will accept the invitation.

SMITH BLAMES THE EARL. Says That He Had Others Besides Himself to Consider. Ex-Commodore James D. Smith, chatr- man of the America’s cup committee, has issued the following statement to the press: “I have nothing to say in answer to Lord Dunraven's letter of September 13. My ccmunittes is out of town. Lord Dunraven has given his letter to the public, and our answer will come later. “To strip this yachting question of all side issues, and special but unimportant pleadings by Lord Dunraven about condi- tions old and new, that should not have prevented him from racing Valkyrie III to the finish of the match, the glaring fact stands out that he did not do his duty to the Royal Yacht Squadron, who made the challenge for him, to the English people, to his supporters or to himself. He prevented the Defender from showing her power and speed In the second and third races, thus giving the syndicate which built her no op- portunity of displaying her superiority over the challenging vessel. “Lord Dunraven had the personal right to decline to sail the protested race of Sep- tember 10 in a written or unwritten offer to him by Mr. Iselin and approved by the cup committee, wnich he did decline. He had also the same personal right to start his yacht across the line on September 12 and withdraw her from the race, as he did, leaving Defender to go over the course alene. “I believe it was—to say the least—a mis- take in judgment, and that the real ma- jority of yachtsmen the world over would Gecide so.” Rond Records Allowed. CHICAGO, September 17.—The following road records have been allowed by the Cen- tury Road Club of America: R. P. Searle, 12,300 miles during 1894, Illinois state record. L. C.

There is every prospect of the Lon- don Athletic Club and the Cambridge ath- letes entering into athletic sports to be held by the University of Pennsylvania on the first Saturday in October on Franklin field. The New York Athletic Club, New Jersey Athletic Club and Boston Athietic Association will send all their star men, and the London Athletic Club and Cam- bridge University athletes will also be asked to take part. The manager of the Can.- bridge athletes was at Wissahickon yester- day and said: “Nothing would please me More than to bring my men here to take part in the University of Pennsylvania games, and I shall use every endeavor to induce them to consent.” Dunraven’s Obligation. LONDON, September 17.-The Daily News this morning has an article express- ing the hope that Defender and Valkyrie Ill may yet get a friendly tussle, which concludes: “Lord Dunraven went to ascertain which was the better yacht,and he ought not to re- turn leaving the point still in dispute. He owes much to himself and to his country- men, and more, if possible, to the American committee, which throughout has treated him with studied courtesy.” Futare Cricket Matches. The English cricketers will play matches at Philadelphia with the gentlemen of Phil- adelphia September 20, 21 and 23, and 27, 28 and 30. The team which will oppose them will be substantially the same as that which represented the University of Pennsylvania in the game finished yester- day, the few changes that will be made adding strength to the American eieven. All Hope of a Race Gone. Lord Dunraven’s representative, H. Mait- land Kersey, was seen yesterday afternoon at Newport by an Associated Press repre- sentative, and said Valkyrie positively would not race Defender and would return to Europe at once. ——— THE COURTS.

Allen's Grand Opera House.—There was a big audience and an abundance of en- thusiasm at Allen’s Grand Opera House last night, both induced by Chas. T. Vin- cent's melodrama, entitled “Old Glory.’ There were plenty of patriotic allusions, ard each was received with the most tre- mendous applause. In fact, the orchestra's selection of national airs, albeit it was the mixture arranged by the late Adam Itzel, ir., for the “Tar and Tartar,” was vigor- ously applauded. There is plenty pf inci- dent in the piece, and the action Is swift ard effective. The scenery is good, particu- larly the plaza in Valparaiso, Toroshead, off the coast of Chile, the deck of a Chilean Frivateer and the appearance of the cruiser Baltimore.. The play is sufficiently melo- dramatic to satisfy the most ardent de- sire for villainy and excitement. Tie vil- lain of the p‘ece is all right in the regula- tion style of his action, but he has a voice like a fog horn, end as inflexible as a bar of steel. There is a funny man, Arthur E. Moulton, who acts as a stand-off to this doubly-dyed villain, and he causes a good deal of cmusement. He introduced a series of comic songs in the last act, which took the gallery immensely, although there was Po earthly reason for his singing them, 80 far as the action of the play was concerned. Mr. Slaytor as “Robert Adams,” the hero, and Miss Mildred Holland, the her- oine, were both good, and acted with force and discretion, as.did also Mr. Caine as “Don Ignacio Alvarado,”Mr. Gilbert as “Mr. “Don Ignacio Alvarado,” Mr.Gilbert as “Mr. Hudgins as “Ensign Jackson, U. 8. N.,” and Miss Chesnau as “Donna Maria Al- varado.” Miss Lottle Williams proved a sprightly soubrette in the part of “Milly Plummer.” There was a large sprinkling of navy people among the audience, from officers to blue jackets, and they appre- ciated especially the play, for the main in- ciGent was the killing of the sailors of’ the Baltimore in the streets of Valparaiso. “Old Glory” will be presented every night this week, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. National Theater.—No men stand higher in the department of negro minstrelsy than Primros2 & West, and no two men have done more to elaborate the productions of this class of entertainment. This year they have a larger and better company many respects than they have ever pre- sented. The parade yesterday excited pop- ular interest, and last night the crowded condition of the National Theater at- tested the desire to witness a good min- strel show. . The development of these two men in their work is interesting. Mr. West is now an easy and dignified interlocutor, and Geo. Primrose has become an acceptable end man. With them is George Wilson, a pro- fessional black-face comedian, who has re- turred to the organization with which he made his first big hit, after tiring of at- tempting to run a company of his own. Wilson’s pepularity in this, his own city, is very great, and his reception last night was most enthusiastic. There are two distinct companies in the aggregation, one of gen- uine colored minstrels, and this party does some excellent work in the first session of the first part. The comi¢ songs of Jas. Russell and Hen Wise, the ballads of Mas- ter Eddie and the Dorian Quartet selections were all appreciated. In the second ses- sion the singing part was exceptionally good, and every number was encored. The remainder of the program included a sketch, called “Christmas in the South,” which introduced gome excellent dancing, the eccentric musical trio, Howe, Wall and McLeod; Gecrge Wilson in his monologue, Mr. West's “Vanishing Grenadiers,” the Primrose & West Quartet, and a diorama exhibition, which was quite interesting. Academy of Music.—The largest audience of the season welcomed Peter F. Dailey at the Academy of Music last evening in his new play of “The Night Clerk.” It is a farce-comedy, light, and practically plotless, but it is one in which Mr. Dailey’s peculiar talents as a comedian show to the best ad- vantage. Dull lines and slow actions are the exceptions in the piece, and as Mr. Dailey is this season surrounded by a very competent company, the play was given with a dash which carried the audience in every scene. Every member of the com- pany is an accomplished artist, and Miss Jennie Yeamans, as Adelalde Starr, the actress in search of an “angel,” was wel- comed as an old friend, and added new laurels to her reputation as a comedienne and singer. Raymond Hitchcock, as the dude, was unusually good, and gave a ren- dition of that somewhat worn character which stamped him as an actor of original- ity and much more than average ability. As Barney Brogan, the good-natured and guileless Irishman, John G. Sparks gave a finished act of a rather difficult role. The company includes many pretty girls and singers, and they sang and danced them- seives into the affections of the audience, the dancing of Miss Gertrude Fort being very clever. The play is splendidly staged, and its success seems to be an assured fact. The Bijou Theater.—The curtain rose last night, at the Bijou Theater, to an audience that filled that popular little house to its capacity. Manager Easton’s selection last night was one especialy adapted to please ladies and children, composed of twenty of the brilliant star artists in the vaudeville profession. The company included F. D. Bryan, Nellie Foster, G. E. Moulton, Bryant and Richmond, familiar with all theater goers, in their success here in Washingtor in “Keep it Dark” and Seabrooke's comio opera, “‘Tobasco;” Gerard and Thompson, the “Two Men from Verona;” George W. Anderson, champion fancy trick sketer of the world, assisted by Ella Anderson, who made quite a sensation in their movements on the rollers; Edwards and Kernell, the travesty sketch artists; the great Drawee, who gave wonderful exhibition of his powers as a manipulator and juggler; the Paynes, one of the strongest musical acts in this country, who delighted the large au- dience; Alice Harsen,in her beautiful songs, waltzing, clog and buck dancing, and Chas. H. Duncan, the great comic singer, in the selection of his latest songs. The per- connenoe on ee Was pronounced a Success. Every night, and matinees Thi day and Saturday. = Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Taken from any standpoint, the entertainment pre- sented last night at Kernan’s by Harry Morris’ Twentieth Century Maids was the best of its kind ever seen in Washington. Manager Morris has Icng been recognized a8 @ first-class caterer to the amusement- loving public, but this year has outdone himself. From the rise of curtain the interest commences, and it never lags. New acts and comedians follow ‘each other and confuse the andionce in its selection of the stars. They are all stars, and every feature could be dwelt upon and favorably commented. “The Girl Bachelors’ Stag,” @ burlesque on the new woman, opens the Program, and gives an excellent opportue nity to judge the strength of the company. In this the comedians prove themselves worthy, and the chorus, under the leader- ship of Miss Ray Paterson, a. charming young lady in face and figure, fully capable. In the olio John T. Hanson, as the Yankee clodhopper, was amusing, and Harry Em- erson and Annie Carter contributed a laughable sketch, “Don’t Notice It.” Both are old favorites here, and received an ova- tion. Miss Lelia Trimble sang several songs in a superior manner, and Clarice Terry, the perfectly formed woman, posed in clas- sical subjects. She was assisted by Miss Teddy Pasquelena, a precocious demsel, who at once installed herself a fevorite. Miss Nettle De Coursey, a dainty lyle chanteuse, sang herself into favor, and Coakley and Genaro made the hit of the’ evening with their comedy skit. Coakley. is @ Washington boy, and when his friends recognized him he was lout applauded, Every one was satisfied with the ving pie- tures. “Too Much Trilby,” a deserving: burlesque, closed the show, with Harry, Morris as Slang Valley. Again tonight. SERIOUS CHARGES, 7 Wm. B. Hartley Files a §: Robert 0. Edmonston. { In a bill in equity filed by him today, against Robert O. Edmonston, Wm. B, Hartley makes some serious charge’ against Mr. Edmonston. About Octobex' 15, 1894, states Mr. Hartley in his bill of complaint, they entered, through an oral agreement, into an equal partnership for the purpose of carrying on a wholesal grocery business here, under the name ot R. O. Edmorston & Co., under the man agement of Mr. Edmoneton. They ene gaged in the business, says Mr. Hartley,” at 8th and D streets, and he says that lately he discovered that Mr. Edmonston has for some time past, in violation of their agreoment, applied much of the parte nership property to his own private use, and has, Mr, Hartley says further, re« fused to account therefor or to allow him to examine the books of account of the firm. Mr. Hartley charges, too, that Mr. Edmcnston has divested and removed, without his knowledge or consent, certain of the partnership steck to Laurel, Md., where, he says, Mr. Edmonston has open and is conducting a grocery business wi said stock. Mr. Hartley complains that partrer has not only excluded him from all share in the control of the partnershi affairs, but charges, upon information ani belief, that he is now collecting debts due the firm, and that in many cases where those debts are not yet om and payable he has compounded with the debtors oy allowing them very great discounts for the prompt payment thereof, and is apply- ing the same to his own use. The firm is insolvént, says Mr. Hartley, and is wholly, unable to pay its debts. For these alleged reasons, Mr. Hartley, prays that the partnership may be disa solved, that a _recelver may be appointe@ and that Mr. Edmonston may be enjoined from in any way disposing of the props! erty, collecting debts due the firm, and tha{ he be required to deliver possession thereo} to the receiver. An accounting is prayed for, ard the cause is asked to be re- ferred to the auditor of the court, to as- certain what may be due Mr. Hartley, and that he may have execution thereon as at law. The petition of Mr. Hartley was pre- sented to Judge Bradley, who granted temporary restraining order, returnai next Monday. a FOR BRAIN-WORKERS. Against Horstord’s Acid Phosp! .
