OLD DICKINSON House
ON FREE LIBRARY site

The Wilmington Institute Library
has recently received two interesting
gifts. One is a pen and ink drawing
of the Old Dickinson House. which
used to stand on the site OF the pres
ent institute building. This drawing
was made by Robert Shaw at the re-
quest of Judge Henry c. Conrad, who
recently presented the sketch to the
library. All Wilmingtonians who re
member the old house will be inter-
ested in seeing this sketch and those
who do not remember il can get
good idea Of what the corner of Eighth
and Market streets looked like sixty
years ago.
The other gift is a poster advertising
an indoor circus which was held In
the auditorium of the institute build
ing, between 1870 and 1880 The Ii
brary at that time was in a room on
West Eighth street AT the present
time it occupies the hail. which was
used by the circus advertised by the
poster. The poster was presented to
the library by J. H. Semple.

Some Figures of Referee
and ModifieS Others
RECEIVER GETS LESS
THAN CLAIM FILED

In the case of the Union Dredging
Co., bankrupt, Judge Bradford filed an
opinion yesterday afternoon on petit
tions or review of certain orders made
by Leonard f. Wales, referee in bank
ruptcy, disallowing in whole or in
part claims for compensation for al
legged services rendered in the course
OF the administration of the bankrupt
estate. The court confirmed the ac-
ton of the referee In disallowing the
claim of Richard II. Vail, a mining
engineer for S943.25, representing an
unpaid balance due him for services
and expenses rendered and incurred
by him on account of the bankrupt es-
tate. The court held that Vail had
been engaged by the company before
bankruptcy and whatever services
were rendered by. him were for the
company and not the receiver or
trustee.
The court set aside the action of
of the referee in allowing Griggs,
Baldwin and Baldwin a law firm Of
New York City, S13O.0S as set-off
against 5000 paid that firm by the
NNhHNhF b'A0A' nUlAos
The court allowed them TO retain
the $500 but dissolved all claims made
by them for disbursements and for
compensation as attorneys for the
bankrupt and for the receiver. The
court modified the action of the ref
cree in allowing Pillsbury. Madison
and Sutro, of San Francisco. $500 as
attorneys for the trustee instead OF
S1,50O and S41.95 for their travelling
expenses instead of $500. and allow
ed to that firm the fun amount
claimed.
The court affirmed the action Of
the referee in allowing Sylvester d.
Townsend S2,575 as compensation for
his services as attorney for the trus-
tee, instead Of $4,000, as claimed.
The court modified the action of the
referee in allowing S202,2O TO cover
the travelling expenses of Mr. Town
send on a trip to California and al
lowed the sum of S405.4O. the amount
claimed.
