Sudden fame proves dangerous as General Boulanger loses favor after publishing a letter to the Duc d Aumale.

Lowell Bleachery stockholders hear Snelling letter on affairs

The Lowell Bleachery stockholders met to review a committee report on the company's condition. Samuel G. Snelling, late treasurer, submitted a detailed statement claiming heavy losses from dealings with James H. Diggles, noting he owes the company about 200000 while Diggles owes him 400000, and asserting overall efforts benefited the firm. The investigation found a valuable plant and profitable business, with discrepancies in Snelling's accounts and falsified books, and a plan to consider capital stock increases as the board seeks to continue operations.
