Beegan Wili.


 Clerk Marvin of the United States court held hearing in this city yes terday in the matter of the claims against the dredge boat Newport and several scows. The sales of the prop erty amounted to $9,545, and the hear ing is in the matter of division of the same among the creditors.
 There is quite a contention among the towing companies, who have large claims against the outfit. They claim that towage amounts to lien against the boats lowed. They quote the de- cision of Judge Brown of the United States court in New York to the ef- feet that towage is a lien. This was so declared in the case of the boat Elm Park.
 The other creditors contend that tow age does not amount to lien and quite a fight is going on. The Bridgeport Towing company have a claim for $2,-OO and J. D. Dewell, jr,, representing the owners of the New York tug Volunteer, is contending for claim of $750. Those opposing the towing companies claim that it was held in the case of the
