CAN'T SELL TIE BUSINESS.
The United States Court Restraints
b American Grocery Company.


Especial to THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, May Is, 1S97.-An order was
filed with the Clerk of the United States
Circuit Court. by Judge Kirkpatrick, yes
terday, restraining the American Grocery
Company, its directors, officers or SER
wants. from disposing of the business of
the company, and from acting upon or
conforming to a resolution passed by the
stockholders at a meeting held in Jersey
City on Saturday. The order directly
specifies that nothing contained in 1t
shall be construed as prohibiting the
company from transacting its business in
the usual way.
The order wa granted upon an appli-
cation made by David A. Hunt, one of the
stockholders. and is directed to T. L.
Marsalis, President Of the American
Grocery Company. 1t is based upon an
stenographer. who attended the stock
holders meeting, and who swears that
the following resolution was passed by a
vote of 1916 shares to 34 shares
Resolved. That the Board Of Directors

such terms as they sha deem for the
best interests of the company
The American Grocery Company is a
large concern Incorporated in New Jer-
sey. and carrying on its principal business
IN New York city. 1t is capitalized at
1900, 900. A short time ago application
was made by Mr.. Hunt to the United
States Circuit Court here to have a re-
ceiver appointed on account of alleged
mIsmanagement of the company's affairs
by the officers and directors. This appli-
cation Judge Kirkpatrick dismissed on the
ground that the officers had acted en-
tlrely within the powers conferred upon
them by the charter and stockholders.
There has exised for some time a serious
misunderstanding between the officers
charging the former with attempting to
run the business in such a way as to
freeze them out of all the profits It is
said by these stockholders that Satur-
days resolution was merely another
move by which the officers and directors
hoped to gain exclusive control of the
business.
Annexed to the application for the
order is a circular dated May 10, sent
to the stockholders of the company, Civ
ing the reasons for calling Saturdays
meeting. In this 1t is recited that an

ers to the management of the company,

ceiver. Had it not been for the small
outstanding Indebtedness of the COM
pany, amounting at that time to some
would have been forced to the wall by
the claims of creditors, to such an extent
was the company'S standing affected by
the application for a receiver. AS it
was, most of the claims against the COM
pany had been met at the date of the
circular, and it was expected that all
obligations would be paid within a few
dayS.
