 Attorney Seymour c. Loomis for the trustee alleges that the payments made within the last three or four months paid up the claim in full on the pre- ferred claims, and stated that the amount still due if any, should go to the general creditorg' list.
 If Referee Newton decides that this is so, it will make a material differ ence in the dividend the bank will get when the estate is settled. Referee Newton is now carefully going over the bank account.

Season Has Been a Successful One in
 Many Respects.

Yesterday the Yale summer school formally closed, although only about a third of the pupils of the school were here, many having left last week and the early part of this week.
