THE COURTS. “Around the World in Eighty Days”—Injune- tion Made Permanent. THE PARK THEATRE TROUBLES. eee eee Important Decisions in Bank- ruptcy. A few days since a temporary injunction was granted by Judge Curtis in the Superior Court, enjoining Messrs, Connolly and Pillet from further producing the @rama “Around the World in Eighty Days.” The play was brought out by the parties complained against in the Bowery Theatre some time ago and later at the Grand Opera House, It was also announced that they were to produce the play at Rochester. The complain- ing parties are Thomas A. French, a theatrical agent, ‘apd the Kiralfy troupe, who are now playing the piece ‘at the Academy of Music, Judge Curtis yesterday rendered his decision in the.case making the tpjunction permanent, The following is JUDGE CURTIS’ OPTRION. A French author, Jules Verne, composed a story *ealied “Le Tour du Monde en quatre Vingt jours.’ With the assistance of a French dramatist, D’Ennery, he wrote a play, giving it the same name. These authors caused the drama to be translated into English and called “Around the World in Eighty Days.” They then sold both versions of the play to one Michelis, through hom the manuscripts of the English version and all rights therein for the United States and the Canadas were transferred and assigned to the plaintiffs. Thi defendants have produced a play under the same ti ‘and claim that it is «dramatization by them of the oi imal story of Jules Verne after he had pub- lished it and made it the common Bagge 4 of the world. The play is writen by Jules Verne and D’Ennery, and translated for them into Eng- lish; has never been published with their consent, ‘and it embraces various characters, incidents and scenes that are foreign to the original story. The difficulty with the defendants’ claim is, that their version co: tains what is not found in the original story, but is found in the plaintiffs’ play, and, uniess adopted from the latter, it could not be very satisfactorily accounted for. Again, this view that the defendants are indebted to the plaintiffs’ play for their version, is strengthened by a deposition of the defendant Pillet, made tn another proceeding, in another court, and which the plainti(is Produce, in which he says in effect that, having at- tended, in November, 1874, the representation of the pay, in Paris, he produced four-fifths of the ecene neidents, business, plot, situations, effects, mechanic: aud otherwise, of the play, or bis version of it, from memory. ‘The proofs submitted fail to sustain ‘the defendants’ position, that they produced their play Dy the dramatization of the original book. The bext claim of the defendants is that, even if their version ‘was made from memory after witnessing the represen- tation upon the stage of the original play, they have the right to avail themselves of this course, The Court of ‘Appeals, all the Judges concurring, held (in Palmer va De Witt, 47, N. Y., 532) that the property of an author or his assignees In an unpublished manuscript is pro- tected and governed in its use, enjoyment and transfer, the same as other persomal property, and that the rep- Fesentation upon the stage of adramatic composition did uot affect the manuscript and the rights of the au- thor therein, and was not an abandonment or dedication of it to the public; but the Court did not pass upon the question how & epectator, witnessing a play, might lawfully commit ‘it to memory and’ then publisn it to the world Learned judges have differed npon this latter question, but it Would seem to better accord with justice and good morals tbat the carrying away in the memory or in the Btenographic notes of a spectator of the contents of a lay, unauthorized by the owner, is an infringement of proprietary rights. It is @ surreptitious mode of procuring the literary property of another, and when done from motives of pecuniary gain at the expense of the owner, is not defensible. * * * These vie were sustained by the majority of the Judges of t! General Term of this Court (in Palmer vs. De Witt 3, Sweeney 530), and seem to be applicable to so much the case as rests upon the statements of the defend- ant Piliet, as to what he reproduced in the defendants’ version from memory. The preliminary injunction should be continaed until the further order of the Court, ‘with $10 costs of motion to the plantifls THE PARK THEATRE TROUBLES. ‘This case was up again yesterday in the courts. Tho eeizure of the property of the theatre, under the circumstances already detailed, bas given rise to a Vexatious litigation, and one very injurious to the pro- prietor. The first attachment issued against the property was vacated by Judge Joachimsen, of the Marine Court, |» on the technical ground that Mr. Hertz, who obtained an attachment against the property, signed his firm mame to the bond, and also on the ground that the Deputy Sheriff in charge had aoused the process by ex- acting an exorbitant charge for allowing the property to remain. Another attachment was got in the Supreme Court, and yesterday affidavits were read on both sides before Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Chambers. The affidavits for,the defendant allege that when the selzure was made under the sec- ond attachment the officer spoke insultingly to Mr. Stuart for “giving him away.” The debt is not de- Bied by defendant, but the allegation of non-residence, on which the attachment was granted, is traversed, and | as to any danger of his removing the furniture, be says hie furniture ts all theatrical, and if removed elsewhcre would be worthless. Judge Donohue adjourned the matter to Monday, when each side will submit ailidavits on the non-resideuce question. DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBEES, By Jodge Brady.

In the matter of the bankruptcy of Samael Holmes, formerly manager of the Scoville Manufacturing Com- pany, and of Lazarus Lisberger, who became bankru while engaged in dealing in metals, and whose liabili- ties reach $700,000, an offer of composition was made with their creditors, on the basis of payment of fifteen cents on the dollar.’ This was opposed by several of the creditors on the ground that preferences had been given certain of the creditors, Judge Blatchford ruled that as the disgentients had previously agreed to the compo- sition, and at the time must have been in possession of all the facts set forth relating to such alleged prefer- ences, the composition should be and is contirmed. Another effort has been made go save from a Vermont rison George Miles, alleged by the public prosecutor in that State to have been one of the gang of despera- does who robbed Barre Bank. On Thursday evening last Judge Brady was asked to bail the prisoner pend- ing an appeal from Judge Donohue’s ruling, excluding certain testimony for the prisoner, Judge Brady yes- terday rendered his decision, refusing to interfere in the case.

Yesterday the house of John McCauley, No. 64 Wal- cot street, South Brooklyn, the lower part of which is used as a liquor store, was set on fire in four places in the cellar and in acorner of the store, The fire waa discovered about two o’clock in The morning. On a beam in the cellar, beneath the beer pump, were found upon investigation several green slats taken from the store window, and these latter were piled on some patent kindling wood, which formed one of the incendiary fires in the cellar, Rosin was freely used in saturating the light wood. There was but very little stock in the store. McCauley is insured for $5,200 on the house, stock and fixtures. The companies in which the policies are held are the Emporium, Clinton and Lancashire. MeCauley states that he was in bed when the fire broke out. Tho Fire Marshal mace complaint against him notwithstand- ing, and cansed his arrest on a charge of arson. Justico Walsh committed McCauley to await examination on the 22d inst. The loss on stock, fixtures and furniture is $1,000, and on the building $1,000, ROBBING GOD'S HOUSE. A few days ago a woman named Mrs Owens, of most unsavory reputation and just out of jail for theft, con- ducted herself with such singular devoutness in St, Pius’ Roman Catholic church, East Newark, that sho attracted the attention of a young girl of the congrega- tion. The woman was observed to pay marked attention to the altars in the sanctuary. The matter was brought to the attention of the sisters of St. Pius, who, upon examination, found that a number of altar cloths and ornaments had disappeared from the several altars. An officer was duly informed, and he arrested the woman as she was about leaving on one of her visits, Nothing was found on her person, however, but subsequently the stolen articles were discovered In a second band clothing store, where Mrs, Owen had sold them. She awaits the action of the Hudson county Grand Jury, A CRIME DISCLOSED. Yesterday forenoon Oscar Kolsteaf and William Lange were arrested in Newark and held for trialon a charge of arson. It appears that on the night of July 7, the dwelling in Hunter street, owned by Kolsteaff and occupied by him and Lange, was set on fire and damaged so that tho Home Fire Insurance Company paid Kolsteaif over $500 to reimburse him for his loss, Meanwhile a | report came to the ears of Chief Engineer Brown that Lange bad declared that it was he who had fired the dwelling and did it at the instigation of Kolsteaf’ ona promise of $500 out of the insurance. Kolsteaff was | absent from the city when the place was fired, Lango | was not paid the $500 as alleged to have been prom- | ised. Hence, it is presumed, he “blew” the affair, The | pur are held for the action of the Grand Jury, which is now in session. The sloop M.S. Forshay, from Virginia, loaded with sweet potatoes, which lost her mast in the gale on the 10th inst. on the Jersey coast and went ashore near Sandy Hook, was hauled offon Thursday by tho Coast Wrecking Company and towed up to their dock at Sta 8.1. Her cargo was shipped to this city, ay her owner, Mr, David Forshay, of Tote , 8, L, bad the vessel towed round to that place to repair. A GRAVE IN A TREE, | Acorrespondent of the Pittsburg Leader writes that there i @ very remarkable and curious freak of nature on the bank of the Castleman River, about two and a | half miles above Confluence, which {3 well worth the | trouble of going to see. A short distance from the river at the foot of the mountain six poplars are grow- ing, the space enclosed being in the shape of a coffin. For about six feet from the ground the six trees have @ | common trunk, or rather root, as it seems as if the six | trees in the enclosed space had all united solidly and had grown out of the ground carrying the earth above them up along to the height named, This root-trunk {a feet in circumference and the poplars, when t their individuality, are each two feet in But now an extremely curious feature of they ase diameter, this freak of nature presents itself to the astonished be- | holder, Upon climbing up on the top of the common trunk it is found that these poplars must have been planted around a child’s grave. Tie enclosed space is about four feet long, and the green grass is growing in the earth there, At one ond js @ great stone with an inscription on it, which, however, cannot be deciphered, as it is so worn by time. A part of it is broken off by the wear and tear of time, although it would be thought that those sturdy poplars would be able to protect this small charge of theirs. No one kuows by whom or PACING AT DEERFOOT PARK, Derrroor Driving Bank, Fripay, Serr. 17.—Purse $1000; $500 to the first, $300 to the second and $200 Eee horse; mile heats, best three in five, under Owner's b. m. Sallie G, H. Smith's b. g Si Ww. 2 Ceamtene r First heat. Second heat. Third heat... Fourth heat, RACE. First Heat.—Coppervottom the favorite over the field, Sleepy George had a trifle the best of a capital start, Sallie second, Copperbottom third, The horses went away very rapidly, and before they reached the quarter pole Copperbottom broke up, when Sallie dashed away from the others and led four lengths at that point in 363¢ seconds, Sleepy George second, Cop- perbottom ten lengths behind, Sallie opened the gap to the half-mile pole, and passed that point in 1:11, six lengths ahead of Sleepy George, the latter a dozen lengths in advance of Copperbottom, Going around the track again Sleepy George closed up a little of the day- light, but still the mare was four lengths in front at the three-quarter pole, Copperbottom far behind. Sallie key are on ae won the heat by two Apaghtin Ss worge second, Co bottom eight, yards behin. J m ee ane id Second Heat,—Sallie was then the favorite, Sleepy George second choice. The horses had an excellent start at the first time of asking, Sallie having half a length the best of the send off, George second, half a length in advance of Copperbottom. They paced around the upper turn very rapidly, and when they reached the quarter pole lie led half a ng, Sleepy George second, half a length in advance.of Cop- perbottom. Time, 3634 seconds. A beautiful burst of speed brought the horses around to the stand nearly parallel, At the half-mile pole Salhe had her head in front of Sleepy Sg the latter a id in advance of Copperbottom, ‘ime, 1:12, Sallie then spurted away from the others as she passed around the upper turn and was four lengths in front at the three-quarter pole, George second, one length ahead of Copperbot- tom. Sleepy George made a gallant burst around the lower turn and up the homestretch, but he did not overtake the mare, as she came home a winner of the heat by alength, in 2:22)s, Copperbottom ten lengths behind Sleepy George. Third Heat.—Sullie was a much greater favorite than before. The horses had a very good start, Sleepy George having the best of it by halt a length, Copperbottom second, the mare alength behind. Sleepy George aud Copperbottom paced side and side around the turn, and at the quarter pole they were bead and head two lengths in front of Sallie, Time, 3634 seconds, The Tace was aclose one between the geldings, who were pacing head and head around the lower turn, When they came to the stand at the end of the half mile Sleepy George had his head in front, Copperbottom two lengths in advance of Sallie. Going away from the stand Sleepy George dashed away from Copperbottom, and on the backstretch he showed daylight. Copper- bottom then began to cut it, At the three-quarter pole Sleepy George led two lengths, Copperbottom second, half a length mm advance of Sailie. ‘The mare then made a fine burst, passing Copperbottom and making a desperate effort to overtake Sleepy George, He was too fast for her, however, and coming on gamely, won the heat by three lengths in 2:24, Copperbottom four lengths further off. Fourth Heat,—Copperbottom was then withdrawn on account of lameness. Sullie was still the favorite at ten to three, notwithstanding that Sleepy George had beaten her the previous heat, which looked suspicious, The horses had an even send off, but before they had made the upper turn Sleepy George led half a length in 85 seconds, He kept his head in front around the Jower turn and to the half-mile pole, passing that point in 1:08, a head in front of the mare, They dashea around the upper turn head and head, but before they reached the backstretch the mare broke badly and George took a lead of half a dozen lengths before he could be stopped.

The fall regatta under the auspices of the Harlem Rowing Association came off yesterday on the Harlem River, There were three events op the programme— two single scull races and a race for four-oared shells. ‘There was a large attendance of spectators, Both wind and tide were against the competitors in the first two contests. For the single scull championship there were two en- tries, Thomas R. Keator and Howard Conkling, the dis- tance being two miles over the association course, and the prize tie championship medal, A good start was effected, Conkling catching the water first, and at the first 100 yards was half a length ahead of Keator. Both men subsequently fouled and lay on their oars a while, but finally resumed the contest. Keator drew ahead and came in winner, his time being 20m. 50s, and that of Conkling 21m, The next event was the single scull handicap, dis- tance one mile, There were five entries, but only three oarsmen putin an appearance—Arthur B, Hoeber, J. W. Arthurand A. G. Scranton, Hoeber was allowed 25s, and Arthur 10s, Scranton was the fav- ori and his victory was regarded as a foregoue conclusion. Hoeber, however, got away in shape, and by a steady and vigorous stroke proved himself a formidable rival to more experienced competitors. Scranton promptly overhauled Arthur, who then re- tired, and made a determined effort to ‘come up with Hoeber, but without avail This was an interesting rennet both men being put to their mettle by the thusiastlc cheering of their friends, when, after an e: citing chase, Hoeber, who had held his own through- out, came in the winner, to the surprise of those uc- quainted with the skill of his opponent, tho time, against wind and tide, being, Hocber, 9m. 50s, ; Scran- ton, 10m. 103, The last event was a race for four-oared shells, di: tance two miles, for the Club Championship for 1875, The contestants in boat No. 1 were H.

Scranton—(colors, scarlet and blue). A good start was effected; but the boys in blue, owing to some defect in their ‘steering gear, lande: their craft in the mud, By consent, however, another start was made, when, alter a somewhat uneventful race, of which poor steering was the prominent feature, No. 1 came in the winner, the time being 13m, 208 It should be mentioned that boat No. 2 was accidentally fouled by a pleasure party toward tbe close of the race. The regatta afforded general satisfaction, THE NATIONAL GAME. THE ATLANTICS AGAIN BADLY DUFEATED.
