Mayor Conrad's decree, totally forbidding the
selling of liquor in Philadelphia, on Sunday, has
been over-ruled by the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania. The Court decides that the vending
of liquor does not constitute disorderly house,
and is, therefore, only a fineable offense. The
Mayor, on the contrary, assumes that the license
only covers six days, and does not warrant sell
ing seven days in the week.
