THE LATEST BURST-UP.
Report Of the Committee ON the Failures
of A. & w. Sprague-A Big Surplus
Bankruptcy Probable.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., November L.
At an adjourned meeting of the bank
representatives to-day, the report OF the
committee, appointed to examine into
the affairs of A. & w. Sprague, was pre-
sented. The committee say they con-
slider the assets of the A. & w. Sprague
manufacturing company TO be Sl9, 1885,
247, and the liabilities, Sl1 ,475, ,443; sur
plus, SS,0l9,S0 A detailed statement
Of property accompanies the report.
The committee of bank presidents say,
in their report, the unsettled condition
of financial affairs and of business at
the present time, and the large amount
Of obligations of the company maturing
during the next ninety days, preclude
the possibility of reporting that one
million dollars would enable the COM
pany TO meet its engagements IN the
future. The committee recommend
that the A. 81 w. Sprague manu-
featuring company and individuals
comprising the corporation mortgage all
their property to three trustees, who
shall practically have all control and
management of the entire property.
These trustees are 10 issue notes to an
amount which shall fully cover the
amount of the present Indebtedness; ;
I their obligations having three years TO
run, and drawing semi-annuai interest
at the rate Of seven and three-tenths per
cent. per annum, with the right reserved
TO nav five per cent of the debt as often
as In their judgment it shall be practica-
| ble. The report of the committee Is
being considered.
/ The counsel of Sprague's corporation
Z announced at the meeting that trust
deeds were being made 10 Governor
Henry Howard, Rufus Waterman and
Ex-Governor James T. Smith, and that
these deeds would be submitted to the
meeting of the creditors, and If not yet
reported, the alternative would be to &c
into bankruptcy.
