WILL WIND UP
ITS BUSINESS.
The Hartwell & Richards Co.
to Go Into Liguidation.
TRADE POOR FOR TWO YEARS.
Property of the Corporation Has Been
CONCERN IS PERFECTLY SOLVENT.
Business Was Founded in 1841 and Until 1897
it Was Very Prosperous - Last Two Years
it Has Fallen Off Considerab'y.
-~ xchange.
The Hartwell & Richards comgpany,
Jobber of dry and fancy gomls and
founded in 14941, has gone into the hands
of trustees, At the directors’ meeung,
Tuesday, Fresident F. H Chapman
and Director Henry F. Richards, the
latter the former head of the old firm,
were appointed trasteeg, the property
being conveyed to thew in a deed of
trust,
The action ig claimed to have been
voluntary and to have been talen be
cause profits of the bßusiness, formerly
very large, have been growing smalier,
and in the last two years the corpora
tion has fallen behind, The creditors,
located in Boston, New York and FPhil
adelphia, will recelve full payment, for
the corporation is perfectly solvent. The
business will probably be wound uop.
The inventory January 1 showed @
stock of about $160,000, and book ac
counts value the total assets about
$300,000. The Mabilities are about $1:0,-
000, all in amounts less than $lO,OOO and
mostly in amounts of $2OOO or less,
Since the organization of the com
pany it has experienced the poorest
business years of its long business life,
The lagt two years have been particu
larly poor, and it was not until 1887 that
it first began to fall behind. The usual
dividend of 2 per cent, was omitted for
the first time in 1898, and no dividend
will be declared this year, On the usual
bookkeeping returns the corporation
made a few thousand dollars last year,
but deducting bad bills on the real basis
it lost,
The Hartwell & Richards company
has stocked small dry goods stores, tak
ing mortgages for the contents, and
thug setting up in business responsi
ble persons. T?m business was estab
lished in the spring of 1841 by John B.
Hartwell, who opencd a simall store at
No. 11 Arcade. In the fall of that year,
Benjamin H. Cragin was admitied, and
the firm became Cragin & Hartwell, In
September, 1847, Mr. Cragin died, and
Mr. Hartwell conducted the business
alone until the spring of 1848, when he
admitted Charles Dudley, the firm be
coming Hartwell & Dudley. In 184 D H.
¥. Richards was admitted as partner,
the firm becoming Hartwell, Dudley &
company.
In 1852 the firm outgrew the quarters
in the Arcade, and removed to 66 and 68
Weyhosset street, at the corner of Hay,
where it remained until 1887, growing
gteadily the while, Two more partners,
Herbert A. Richards and Albert M.,
Hartwell, were admitted in the spring
of 1860, and a year later, Charles Dud
ley retired. The name was then changed
to Hartwell, Richards & Company. lln
1874 J. B. Hartwell died, and in that
vear, also, his son, Mortimer H. Hart
well, was admitted as & parmer, He
died several years ago,

afternoon.
At the first session, Rev. Augustus

Freeman Clarke of Bosgton and Mrs,
Anna Garlin Spencer of this city.
During the afternocon session, there
was an address on “New Testament
Study.,” by Mise L. Freeman Clarke,
who showed by numerbdus {llustrations
how the study of the New Testament
may grow in interest with the doing
away of old misconceptione and the
using of the new light which may =o
readily be obtained Mre., James
Beatley of Bopton gave a talk on ““The

INTO COURT,
Troubles Between Co. D and
First Light Infantry. 1
WRITS OF SUMMONS SERVED.
Have Been Served on Several Officers of
Regiment in Case of Trover.
COMPANY'S EFFECTS WERE REMOVED.
The Dispula is as 1o Whether They Are the
Froperty of Company D or of the First
Light Infantry Regimant.
1t looks as if the troubles of the
First Light Infantry Regiment in con
nection with Company D, were by no
means over, for there are new features
to the case, which give promise of
much litigation. Writs of summons in
an action of trover and conversion
have been served on Major H, 8, Tan
ner, Lieut, T. 8, Delano and Capt. Al
bert ¥. Brown, with damages placed at
$5OO, brought by certain plaintiffs, who
include the entire membersghip of Com
pany D,
One night a raid was made on the
company’'s rooms in the Infantry build
ing, this step being taken to prevent
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 offi
cers, past and present, of the company,
and the general furnishings, These
goods were valued at §l5OO by the
company and everything in the room
had been bought and paid for, with
money collected by subscription by the
members of the company.
It is understood that the men of the
regiment claim that the furnishings
taken from D 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 D said
that all articles paid for by company
funds did not belong to the First Light
Infantry and sghould be returned to
them. All attempts to compromise this
matter have thus far failed.
QUARREL OVER CARDS.
Alberigo Cut on the Head D;Aflng a Row in Vitale's
Saloon on Cedar Street.
Salvatore Alberigo was in the saloon
of Antonio Vitale on Cedar street, just
before 6 o’clock Yast evening, and he
was engaged in playing cards with sove
oral other Italians, As usual there
wasg a difference of opinfon as to the
number of points scored by the vlayers,
and when the police entered the place
Alberigo had several euts on his head
which looked as though a Knife had
been used.
Who the assailant of Alberigo was
nobody, of courre, knew, all of the Ita
liansg seeming in a flash to forget what
little English they ever knew, The am
hulance was called and Alberigo was
gont to the hospital, where hig wounds
were dressed, There were three cuts
on the scalp, but none of them are dan
gerous,
PRESIDENT CANNOT COME.
Obliged to Decine Invilation to Attend Banquet of
Busines Men's Association.
1t was reported in the city yesterday
afternoon, that the Rhode Island Busi
ness Men's Association had, through
SHenator Nelson W, Aldrich, extended
an invitation to President MeKinley to
attend the annual banqguet of the agso
clation. President MeKinley has under
consideration an invitation to attend a
dinner of the Home Market lub in
Bogton, and it was hoped that he would
find it possible to stop off in Provi
dence on his way.
Senator Aldrich called on the presi
dent yesterday afternoon, when Mr,
MeKinley expressed his gincere request
in feeling compelled to decline the in
vitation, the press of public business
being such that even lif he found
possible to go to Boston he would not
fecl able to stop anywhere en route,
