Der committee with whom they can have q
free and full confidence for the purpose of
devising the best plan for securing the large
property in their hands to their creditors and
enabling all claims against them to be salts
fed in the shortest possible space of time.
The A. & w. Sprague Manufacturing Co.,
and A. & w. Sprague pledge to their credit
ors their utmost effort to cooperate with the
creditors in means to the above and which
upon conference may be devised.
(Signed) A. & w. Sprague, Manufactur-
ing Co., per Amasa Sprague, President; A.
& w. Sprague.
When the meeting of the Sprague creditors
re-assembled the chairman announced as a
committee to confer wish debtors: William l.
King, John L. Kicker of New York; Henry
Howard, William II. Hopkins, and Daniel
Remington.
The meeting voted that the committee
make report of the names of the trustees to
this meeting and further recess was taken
at three o'clock this afternoon.
AFTERNOON.
The meeting of the Sprague creditors re-
assembled this afternoon, when the commit
tee appointed III the morning reported that
they held a long interview with the Messrs.
Spragues and Hoyt. The latter expressed
every desire to give all power to the trustees
to meet the views of the creditors, and said
the deed to be given to the creditors should
be submitted to the legal advisors of the cred
itors.
The committee had adopted resolution
that the Plan proposed was the best that could
be devised for the conversion of the property
and the payment of the debts.
The committee suggested that Rufus Wa
terman, Amos ID. Lockwood and George c.
Nightingale be appointed trustees; that they
have power to employ counsel to draw up a
deed for the protection of the creditors, and
also to fill any vacancy in the board
Gov. Howard Of the committee made few
remarks attesting to the Willingness of the
Spragues to do all in their power for the cred
itors, and said the surrender of the porper,y
to the central of the creditors was absolute
and complete.
The report of the committee was adopted,
and the above trustees appointed.
The committee was continued, and given
full powers, when the meeting adjourned.
The result of the meeting is regarded as
encouraging.

Not Down in the Bills.

A most ludicrous performance occurred at
johnson Hall in Gardiner, the other evening,
in the presence of the large audience that
had assembled to hear Carswell, the great
Canadian temperance orator. On the plat
form with the speaker were several of the
prominent citizens of the town, occupying
chairs provided for the occasion. One of the
number, q representative temperance man,
went to lean back his chair, so that he might
drink in to the fullest extent all the enjoy
ment and instruction possible but he forget
an important act-that the background upon
which he was about to lean was not a solid
WALL but simply the drop curtain of the hall.
So "head over heels" he went; his heavy
body rolled on the hoor. his head plunged
under the curtain, while bis heels were fight
ing the air, the audience in the meantime al
most shaking the walls of the hall with laugh
ter. His natural, pleasant, dgnified look had
departed; the drop scene in which he was the
conspicuous actor, taking the heary part,
had brought down the house, and now he
wanted to be brought out before the curtain !
Some kind friends got him on to his feet, and

out the next time he exhibits in public,

Response to Gen. TiIton's Note.

1t is difficult to understand how giving men
legal license to commit crime would prevent
crime. The fact is that licensed tipple-sel-
or has not a particle more influence on unl-
censed sellers than any other person has.
Every tipple-seller, whether licensed or not,
Is the natural rival in business of every other
tipple-seller in his neighborhood.
The idea that your correspondents letter OF
to-day's issue, seems to convey, that such a
licensed man, attending only to his own greed
Tor gain, could have good influence on his
rivals in business or IN enforcing law supe-
ror to that of vigilant police officers, who give
special attention to it, is not supported by
reason. He has no power whatever over other
sellers. They will consult their own interest
and not his. This is a narrow, personal in
terest. Those persons who keep tipping
shops do 1t for gain each to himself. They
are not so exceptionally liberal above all 9TH
or men as to desire to donate their own cash
employment to one of their number and let
him monopolize their business. They care
nothing for him. A license would not make
their loss Of business any less. Tipple-selers
are individuals. Each is upon his own re-
sponsibility. Each seeks money for himself
Their prime object is not to establish prnci-
pie of license or no license to their own cost.
Their desire is to transfer other people S
money to their own pockets, not to the pockets
of some other seller.
Tippleselling should be odious. Any form
of license throws an air of public endorse
ment over it and tends to render it respectable.
When the public laws give license that
document represents the countenance and
support of every individual in the community
good and bad. 1t represents the endorsement
of the whole community. 1t seems as though
we have considered tipple sellers as a class
long enough. Now let us consider them as
individuals just as we should any other dam,
ayers of the public good. Each one is for him
self.
Tipple-sellers will continue to exist on the
sly, as long as there are buyers. The demand
makes the sale. If there were no buyers then
no sellers would exist. When men are drunk
upon the streets behaving disrespectably they
certainly are an oflense to public morals, and
decency, still the person of whom they pro-
cured their liquor may have been deceived and
actually Thought he was selling it to.them for
medicine. Let both buyers and sellers be
held responsible. Every persons first duty
to the public is to be a good citizen. Having
rendered service to the country does not Ii
cense any one to defy the country's laws
and msbehave in the public streets.

MEETING OF CREDITORS.
TRUSTEES APPOINTED.
Encouraging Aspect of Affairs.

| New York, 6. A large meeting OF the cred
itors of A. & w. Sprague Manufacturing Co.,
was held at Horseguards' Hall this morning,
beginning at IL o'clock. Hon. Ames c.
Barstow was chosen chairman, and Jeffery
| Hazard, Secretary.
Mr.. Thurston, Attorney for the house OF
| Spragues, read a communication for the debt
ors, expressing belief that if an extension OF
time is given they can pay all obligations and
| retain the Print works and otner Manufacture
| ing property, and pledging their utmost ei-
forts to that end.
Mr.. w. /. King moved that in order that
creditors may meet and act in concert with
the debtors that committee of five be APP
pointed from this meeting to confer with the
Spragues in regard to the coalition of trust
mortgage appointment of Trustees.
After some discussion this molten was
adopted.
Mr.. Thurston stated that the Sprague's sole
object was that the property should be devot-
ed to the payment of the debts and that the
trustees to be appointed shall be friendly to
the house, only SO far as that after the debts
are paid, the property shall not be dlssirasod
1t is important that the appointment of this
committee should be such that il was impos-
sble to say anything was intended, except
what looks for the good Of all.
1t was finally voted that the chairman name
the committee, and the meeting took a recess
TO enable the chairman to decide whose names
shall be presented
The following is the statement presented
by Mr.. Thurston to the chairman of the meet
ing of creditors OF the A. &. w. Sprague Man.
ufacturing Co., and A. & w. Sprague. The
A. & w. Sprague Manufacturing Co., and A.
& w. Sprague regret that they are obliged to
announce to their creditors that they find
themselves unable to meet their maturing OBJ
legations. The recent examination into their
affairs made by committee appointed at a
meeting of the bank officers of Providence
shows that they have surplus over their just
debts of at least $4,000 900 of property, and
they confidently believe that if an extension
Of reasonable Length IS granted them they can
pay in full all their liabilities, preserve their
print works and a considerable portion OF
their mill property. They respectfully invite
