FLETCHER & sHARPE'S AFFAIRS.
Judge Taylor Orders Receiver Wallace to Sell
the Property Belonging to the Firm.

Progress is now being made in the settlement
of the affairs Of the Fletcher 6 Sharpe bank
Receiver Wallace was ordered yesterday, by
Judge Taylor, to sell. after advertising four
weeks, ll) the Fletcher & Sharpe block, at the
corner of Pennsylvania and Washington streets;
~ the residence property lately owned by In
gram Fletcher, No 400 North Meridian street;
81 the residence property lately owned and
occupied by Albert E. Fletcher; az lot
in Fletcher's Oak Hill addition to the
city. If satisfactory bid is not received before
June Is next the receiver is ordered to sell the
property at public auction at the south door of
the court house at 10 o'clock on that day.
Some delay will be caused in the settlement OF
the trust by the appeal to the general term of
the Superior Court of Mrs. Zerelda G. Wallace
and other creditors who seek to have certain
claims preferred. on the ground that the transfer
of certain individual property of members OF the
firm to the firm was illegal. Should the petitions
for preference, which have already been over
ruled by Judge Taylor. be defeated in the gen.
eral term of the Superior Court. an appeal will
doubtless be taken to the Supreme Court, and
this will keep the creditors of the firm out Of
their money for many months.
