Sheridan Wilson Company. which has
claim OF S96, and George p. Thomas,
Jr., who has claim of Sl40.53 Other
creditors we're invited to join In tho
proceedings.
Much OF the company's personal
property is in Baltimore, Nd, where
1t is at work ON a large contract, and
10 that city Monday, Frank A. Furst,
George W, Williams and William
Thomas were appointed receivers for
Maryland, Alvin r. Morrison. one of

will be Temporary. Ths company's
liabilities are between ,S75, 600 and
SSu, ,UUU, while the assete are said to be
worth about $780, QUO &.
The embarrassment OF the company is
due TO the loss of money on contract
to build largs drydock In Baltimore
for the William Skinner e. Sons Ship
building and Drydock Company. The
contract was made ON June 30, 1899,
and work was commenced at once The
dock had been partly completed when
one side caved in. This occasioned a
loss which bore hard ON the company,
ard since that time 1t has expended
s45, 900 more on the work than it has
received. The drydock when COM
pleted will cost about $3.50. 900, and
under the contract one tenth, or $685.
600, is withheld until the work is COM
pleied.
The company was chartered by the
General Assembly several years ago.
