g A. & W. SPRAGUE. a Complaints of Creditors Against Mr. Chaffee, the Trustee. THE MILLS AT The Trustee's Own Statement of the Con- dition of the Property. WORK. ME LLU INVESTIGATION COURTED. Yaa TOISAS ARES SE Provipenck, R. L, Noy. 5, 1878. ‘The numerous creditors of the once famous house ot A. & W. Sprague, of Rhode Island, are getting ner- vous again, and in vain do they look for payment of the amounts due them. They have received no inter- est dividend since January 1, 1876, aud uone of them, as far as is kuown by the majority of the creditors, have received any part of the principal. ‘The firm were obliged to suspend in October, 1973, and during the following = month at a public meeting of the creditors im this city repre- sented that they proposed to make a conveyance of all their property and estate for the equal benefit of the creditors. ‘This conveyance it was proposed should vest in trustees, to be chosen by the creditors, perfect, absolute and complete control of their prop- erty, so that they (the creditors) should sce that by uo bad management and by no possibility of bad counsel, except such as should come from the creditors themselves through their counsel, could the property be subjected to any sacri- fice, and that for any misconduct of the trustees there would always be a remedy before the Court. The eveditors claim that, relying upon the representations of Amasa Sprague, William Sprague, Fanny Sprague, May Sprague and the firm of A. & W. Sprague, they wiected three prominent and influential business men to receive the proposed conveyance. The conveyance was duly submitted to the gentlemen appointed, but before the same was consummated the respondents made a conveyance of their property to Mr. Zachariah “Chaffee, and this without the knowledge or con- sent of the creditors, It will be remembered that they conveyed to Mr. Chatfee all of their property, weal, personal and “mixed” not exempt from attach- ment, save the shares in the various corporations. These shares the creditors allege to have been trans- ‘erred to Mr. Chaflee on his request in writing. They were to be held as collateral security for the performance of the conditions of the tonveyance. This conveyance was made upon the trusts and conditions generally; that he (Chafee) might allow the grantors to remain in the Possession and use of the granted premises until a breach of the conditions, and upon the further condi- tion that if the grantors paid the interest and prin- cipal on 16,500 negotiable promissory notes, payable three years from January 1, 1874, with interest at the rate of 7 3-10 per cent per year, payable semi-annually and to be signed by the A. & W. Sprague Manu- facturing Company, and indorsed by the frm of A. & W, Sprague, said conveyance should be void, but otherwise to remain in full. These notes, 2,000 being for $50, 3,000 for $100, 3,000 for $200, 8,000 for $500, 4,000 for $1,000 and 1,500 for $5,000, were duly issued. It was explicitly specified in the conveyance that, in case of default in the payment of either principal or interest of the notes referred to, Mr. Chaffee should sell the property and apply the proceeds toward paying the notes and the interest as well. It will thus be seen that the time for paying the notes expired January 1, 1877. The creditors accepted and now hold the exten- sion notes. In March, 1874, the creditors were startled the announcement that the National Bank of Com- merce of this city filed a petition in bankruptcy against the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing Company. ‘This petition, however, was withdrawn in considera- that the firm would execute a deed of assignment for the benefit of their creditors. A deed of assign- ment was promptly delivered to Mr. Chaffee upon the following trusts and conditions, viz:—That he (Chaffee) should convert the same into money, and the pro- ceeds should be first applied to the payment of ull the creditors who should bring in their claims and extend the time of payment; and second, to the payment of all other creditors of the firm. DISSATISFIED CREDITORS. As before stated, no interest has been paid on these notes since January 1, 1876. About one year ago cred- itors representing $4,200,000, about one-half of the total indebtedness, resolved to see what they do in the premises, and they filed bill im equity in the Supreme Court, and they expect to get a hearing cither this month or next. An sfil attempt has been made to advance it on lendar, The committee ‘appointed represent that they will press the matter and prove the allega- tions in their bill, and they are just as determined as ever to see if they bave uo rights which Mr. cies or - the Spragnes are bound to respect. They allége that Mr. Chaffee is acting in the interest of th firm, and tifit he has on no * effort to sell the prop- vty and thus honor the ‘obligations. They fur ther allege that he has suffered the debtors, or some of then: (William and Amusa Sprague), to remain in the personal possession and use of and in the receipt of the income from the valuable property conveyed to Lim and also shares in the capital stock of corpora- tious paying dividends, and that while receiving no income from the property he has paid out of the trast funds in his hands amounts for taxes, insorance and other expenses in and abont the same. They claim that he has no right to experiment with the property in the way of adding new machinery, &e., and that in all mstiers of this kind they (the creditors) should have a voice. They lege that he has had no Xperience in cotton spinning calico printing, and that he has em- ployed incompetent persons to conduct the business and has allowed William and Amasa Sprague to largely control the business, whe, at their own will, diecharged skilful and experienced superin- its afl workme and since default was and in the ye out of the condi- of the con * las suffered the gen- referred to ang other debtors, grantors in t trust 4 withdra® large sums from the busin and appropriate them to their own otherwise so negligently and unskilfully managed the anufacturl ese that, while th ry have been depreciating in e amount of personal property usly disappeared, a very large and unaccountable debt = ty been contract the amount of which, together with other spe- cific information as to the general conditions of things connected with the estate,'it is impossible for thein to obtain owing to the fact that they are denied wecess to the books. They do not like it because be has expended large «urns of money in the purchase of machinery, in the erection of new buildings in the villages in Hhode Island and Connecticut whore the tnills ere located, and also in making expensive changes and additions to the estates iu Maine and New Hamp- shire, and also to an in Washington, D. ©, In the opinion of the creditors he has also allowed Aimasa and William Sprague to retain in their possession expensive aud yaluable horses, and has allowed them to engage im the business of breeding and raising horees at the expense and rikk 7 the trust estate in his hands, snd has sold at private sale ina very seeret end questionable manuer 3,100 shares o: the Uniou roud Company, their most productive and property, forthe «v here, when the par value of the same \ nonid, in have sold the ant of unpro- yerty in his hands; instead of selling that which knew was constantly payigg hands dividends. Frequently the Sprague notes are sold, aud bave been purchased at anging from sixteen to -three cents, in the opivion of the ereditors Mr. Chaffee has used the funds in his hands as trustee for these notes, and that he now holds 1 hie own’ name or in the name of for his own use or for the use and sbtors, ‘This is done, in the opinion of dlitors, in order that the firm may become pos- as much of the paper as possible, in order we that they may ultimately secure control of the greater partof it. No proof, however, has been made public that the paper i¢ bought either for them or for any person Working in their interest, but the transaction, n the face of it, ie held to have # very suspicious OLHER CHARGES, will attempt to prove various M ‘among t wht to transfe own individual name certain ‘o him for the mutual benefit of the creditor among others 1,720 shares of the capital bank «tock of the First National Bank of this city, which, by the way, holds $700,000 of the ‘The creditors | as might be supposed, positive! scrermaninres Sprague paper and whose stockholders have been assessed forty per cent to make up the loss, and has actuully transferred to himself some of the capital stock of other corporations, also that a part of the property is held under the the conveyance of shares In the capital stock of the Quindick company, the corporation name under which the firm are’ now doing business of great value, and that atter he had ac- cepted the conveyance he became treasurer of this company, in which capacity he entered into an agree- ment or contract with himself for the transaction of business, by means of which the value of the shares in the capital stock has greatly depreciated; also that the property has been mismanaged, wasted and reduced in value and rendered wholly inadequate to discharge the debts, the payment of which it is held in trust to secure, and iv their opinion he has kept no proper books of account, and of their knowl- edge they aver that he has made no full and accurate statement to the creditors of the condition of the property or of his transaction as trustee; that he has refused to allow them to exainine his books or papers and that he has in all respects identified himself with the wishes and interests of the debtors and not of the creditors. In view of these circumstances they have lost all confidence in his ability and purpose so to manage and dispose of the property as to secure and protect the interest of the creditors; also that he has | not the ability and purpose to protect their interest | or to execute the interests created in the con- yeyance according to its true intent and meaning. They claim that it was his duty | as early as January 1, 1876, to take im- mediate possession and control of the property, and from that time to hold, manage and dispose of it, in the interest and for the benefit of the creditors, and to consult and advise with them. as to the management and disposition of the samet, but they claim in violation of his duty and in breach of his trust upon which he holds the property, he has from that time until the present allowed the debt- ors to remain in possession, control and management of the property and ‘to use the same for their own benefit, and has neglected to consult and advise with the creditors as to the management and disposition of the property, and has refused to give them any account of his stewardship. He (Chatfee), y refused to unite with them for the purpose of procuring the appoint- ment of a trustee or trustees, under the conveyance, in his place. A NEW MASTER WANTED. In view of all these facts, briefly recited above, which they declare are contrary to equity and tend to the manifest. wrong and injury of the creditors, thy will at the approaching term of court request that he be removed from his office as trustee, and that some suitable person or persons may be appointed in his place, and. also that he be removed froin his office as assignee, and that he may be required to render a true account of his doings as trustee and assignee ‘and to make due conveyance of all the property in his hands to his successors. They will also pray that Mr. Chattee and the other defendants, agents and ser- vants may be enjoined from interfering with, man- aging or controlling the property, and more expeci- ally from conducting the business of cotton spinnin; calico printing or other manufacturing business, e: cept with the consent of the creditors and under the, direction of the Court. They will ask for a writ of subpena, to be directed to the defendants, commanding them to appear before the Court, there to answer all and lar the premises and to stand to perform and abide such order and decree as the Court shall seem meet. THE OTHER SIDE. Several of the leading creditors of the Sp: es have been waited npon by a HeRaxp correspondent. He finds that ‘white they appear to be as determined as ever to get some redress through the courts, they are feeling more friendly toward Mr. Chaffee, the recent business failures, especially those which came about by the rascally transactions of some of Fall River's mill managers, being the princi- pal cause. They see that he is paying all the expenses of the. new firm and is paying the insurance and taxes, "Mr, Chaflee was waited upon at the office of the A. & W. Sprague Mamnfacturing Company for the purpose of seeing what he had to say in regard to the allegations of the creditors. He was unusually busy im attending to the numerous of “his immense business, but as soon as he found out the cause of the writer's visit he freely discussed the situation. He denied in the most posi- tive manner the allegations of the creditors, who, he said, were simply banks and not individuals. The individyal creditors have not been inveigled into the present’ move, which, he said, was an expensive one and would result in no good, for he was confident that the hearing would be postponed, for the Jawyers on both sides would be apt to delay the matter as long as possible, as they Ene they had a good thing, and it would be lawyers to bring matters to an end. He was confident that many of the creditors felt that they had. made a mistake and that they could see that he was doing as well with the property as was possible to be done, “We have,” rnd Mtr Chaffee, “more square inches of property with which to pay our debts than any solvent concern in the country. We are employing nearly twelve thousand persons in the various mills and printeries, and if I was to do as afew of the creditors waat me to do I wonld turn all these people upoe the charity of the public, The property \is in bright running order, and is being kept up, but Jam satisfied that at the | present state oft the market no money can be made. We are getting, however, mew dollar for an old dollar, and are keeping number of people employed who otherwise w utd be idle,. and who will say but thut it is better to do this than to allow the machinery to rust out for wantof work.

You may state. in the | Heratp that I shall make a statement | at the beginning of the new year, when the books will be made up. We have put in considerable ma- | chinery, and on the whole the property is in a better gondition than it was when I took charge. It is un- true that I act in the interest of the Sprague | family. Amasa attends to the calico print- | ing, while William devotes his time to the mil} details, amd both are constantly st work, They are living economically, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. They never dictate or swerve me from my purpose in carrying out the wishes of the creditors. Lam here to protect-the in- terests of both parties, and who will deny but what the Spragues have been true to their principles, and I venture to say that the country d not contain two better or nobler citizens. I w vhody to understand thas Iam in absolut of the property, and while in the of re- ceiver and assignee, positions which I never sought, and which I reluctantly accepted, I will pro- tect alike the interests of the creditors as well as of the debtors, aud that in no case will I go contrary to what I believe -to be law and equity. Some of the creditors say I am ugly, crosa and saucy. ‘This, in 2 measure, is true. ‘They irritate me and ply all man- ner of questions to me while I am busily engaged at my work. they came to me prop- erly I would treat them in a more considerate manner. Their lawyers don’t Ike me and at if they-conld only get me out of the way they heir clients. Now, if any ‘creditor wants to know how the business is progressing, I will inform him, aud if they desire me_to do eo and so, T will do as they want me to do if I think that it is proper that I should do so, and if I cai not carry out their wishes, I will give ther my reasons in writing.

Mr. Chaffee expressed the hope that he would be able to declare a dividend at an early day, The clerks were all busy, and Mr. Chaffee was soon among them. These bills were pited States hey [ATOR SPRAGUE HARD AT WORK. Ex-Governor Sprague, who represented Rhode Island in the United States Senate, was busy at his desk, He looked careworn and sad.

It was Mr. Chaffee's suggestion that if the plan succeeded that they ke as liberal with the Spragnes as possible and give them @ chance to work with them. The entleman who informed your cor- respondent of above plan and who represents one of largest creditors admitted ‘that Mr, Chaffee was doing as well as could be ex- pected with the prorerty. and with an improvement of the times he did not think that there was a single creditor but would say that he (Chaffee) was the best pec to manage the property, and they would thank im and pay him liberally for what he had done to- ward keepi it in good running order, The same gentleman that Mr. Chaffee had wiped out a debt of between $500,000 and $600,000 contracted by the new company. MR. MANAGING WELL, Mr. William J. , mentioned aboye, who is one of the oldest and most honored business men of Providence, and who excellent facilities, for know- ing the true standing of the Messrs. Sprague, said to your correspondent that he should consider the re- moval of Mr, Chaffee a’public calamity. He was of the opinion that Mr. C! ee had done remarkably well in paying his insurance, taxes and repairs, and in his opinion but few persons could show a better record, of late years at least. He had reduced his pay roll and had rebuilt a dam at Baltic, which had cost $250,000. The firm was munufacti 5,500,000 more yards of cloth ie! than when . Chaffee took charge. Notwith ing the fact that the house of A. & W. Sprague owed Mr. King $282,000 when they failed, yet he had given them all the credit they ‘wanted for the Quidneck company from that time until the present. He considers Mr. Chaffee one of the best managers in New England if not in the coun- try, he being a man who had always succeeded in everything which he had undertaken, and he gave the HERALD correspondent a briefaccount of some of his fortunate moves since he had accepted the responsi- ble position. At present the house has only. 1,900 cases of goods on hand against 7,600 on hand at the corresponding time last year, whieh fact, together with the activity in print cloths in Fall River, as announced in the Herap on Sun- day, hada very bright look for the future. In Mr. .opinion much of the feeling against Mr. Chaffee was of 4 personal nature. Mr. King considers Mr. Chaffee the right man in the ri, “a cag and that he as well as the other creditors of the firm will yet rejoice at his selection. It would be folly, in the opinion of Mr. King and other prominent capitelists with whom your correspondent conversed, to attempt to sell any of the property during the present condition of the market, and it would be far wiser to allow tho mills to continue running, thus keeping the machinery in order and enabling Mr. Chaffee to pay the insurance, taxes, &e. It should be stated that Mr. King sells the Quidneck Mill Com- any all their cotton, which in a measure accounts for his Friendly feeling toward the Spragues, and toward Mr. Chaffee as well; but no one will doubt but what the latter is pursuing a legitimate course in giving the friend of the Quidnick Company all his cotton trade in return for his financial aid. The company referred to issue no notes, their account with Mr. King being simply a “book account.” Among the complainants in the bill of equity men- tioned above are ten savings banks, twenty-one national banks and a large number of corporations and firms. But few private individuals are among the number, The decision of the Court will be awaited with interest by both parties, but it is tauren con- sion will be rendered during 1878.

LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS LIABLE TO THE CALL, {From the North British Muil.} It is, of course, impossible to calculate the prob- able effect of this “first call’ upon the shareholders; there is no parallel case in the aumals of liquidation. ‘The first call upon the Western Bank shareholders was only £25 on the £50 share; this should have yielded £750,000, but actually only £545,000; and the second call of £100 per £50 share instead of £3,000, produced only £1,508,000, If, therefore, a call double in amount of the value of the share, made fully six months after the stoppage and upon a much wealth- ier proprietary, yielded in tho case of the West- ern Bank one-half of the sum calculated, what is likely to be the response in the case of the City Bank as regards @ call five times the value of the share? If it produced one-half the liquidators would be placed in possession of £2,500,000, but a*fairer estinfate will place it about £2,000,000. The probability is that the wealthier shareholders will alone be able to meet the call in its entirety and that the smaller holders will admit their inability and effect a compromise with the liquidators. Tho number of persons holding stock to the value of £2,000 and upward is 87, and assuming their ability to meet this first call of £500, the liquidators will within four months be placed in possession of £1,668,030; The gumber of persons holding stock between £1,000 and £2,000 is 157, and, assuming that these also’ respond to the call ‘in its integrity, a further sum of £987,380 will be obtained— in all £2,655,460. Beyond this’ any ,estimate is im- possible; ‘but, as we have said, the probability ix that the number ‘of those holding Icss than £1,000 of stock able to meet the call will be few and tar be- toro, and that the liquidators will be forced to accePt a composition from the smaller shareholders.

Thentmost astonishment hes been expressed at the cool and audacious conduct of some firms notoriously indebted to, the bank in almost fabulous sums. To sereen themselves or to elude the vigilance of the liquidators these people hrve filed petitions in the Loudon Bankruptey Court upon pleas which are ‘ly fictitious, ‘The mere fact that the headquar- tors of Messrs. James Morton & Co, and Matthew, Brehanan & Co. were in Glasgow, and not in Lou- don, and that the debts both concerns had been incugred here, make it pitin enough that the liquidation ought in lke manner to be conducted here. ‘The inference ix that they are going to London to serve their own end, and not, a is of their creditors. Piauntbly alleged, for the eonvenie rill within the last few days no one knew that Mesers, James Morton & Co. and Messrs. Matthew, Buchanan & Go, had « London domicile, but when the two firms wet into difficuitios, under circumstances of @ highly suspicious charactor, it is suddenly discovered that the various partnors live regularly there in « hotel, It is acknowledged, indeed, by the logal adviser of the two bankrupt firme that the es really had no London address beyond the hotel at which they are at present staying, This of itself renders the proceeding suspicions, and the very description of the various parties is mt variance with fact. Mr. Thomas Matthew, the brother-in-law of Mr, Morton, is deseribed as y‘of 14 Royal Terrace, Glasgow, and Elderslie House, Renfrew; while Mr. John Fair- lie, the other partner is bed as ‘of 161 Hope street and 14 Royal terrace, Glasgow."
