were appointed trustees. the pre- cperty
being conveyed to them in n deed Of
trust.
The action Is claimed TO have been
voluntary and To have been taken be-
cause profits OF the business, formerly
very large, have been growing smaller

ton has fallen behind. The creditors.
located in Boston, New York and Phil
adelphia, will receive full payment Tor
the corporation is perfectly solvent. Inc
business will probably be wound up.
The inventory January showed IL
stock of about Sl50000, and book ac-
counts value the total assets about
$500 900. The liabilities are about Sl8O,-
600, all In amounts less than $4,000 and
mostly in amounts of $4,000 or less.
Since the organization OF the COM
pany il has experienced the poorest
business years of its long business NE.
The last two years have been partlcu-
larly moor. and it was not until 1897 that
II first began To fall behind. The usual
dividend OF per cent. was omitted FOR
the first time in 1898, and no dividend
will be declared this year. ON the usuai
bookkeeping returns the corporation
made a few thousand dollars last year,

1t looks as If the troubles OF the

much litigation. Wrts of summons in

include the entire membership of Conn

one night a raid was made on the

the removal of personal effects to a.
new hall in the city. The rooms were
stripped OF their furnishings. Included
in this property were oil paintings.
pictures, panels. portraits of the ofti-
GERS, past and present of the company,
and the general furnishings. These
goods were valued at $500 by the
company and everything i'm the room
had been bought and paid for. with
money collected by subscription by the
members of the company.
II is understood that the men OF the
regiment claim that the furnishings
taken from ID room belonged to the
First Light Infantry Regiment and
were paid for by its funds and as such
could not be removed from its custody.
on the other hand. Company ID said
that all articles paid for by company
funds did not belong to the First Light
