Celtic extraction, assembled in the Court
House yard yesterday afternoon to denounce
the City Council, and take steps to resist the
enforcement of the license ordinance re-
Gently passed.
On motion of Mr.. Laughlin Doyle, Mr..
Peter Mclnerny was called to the chair. In

Mr. Laughlin Doyle then presented some
resolutions in favor of appointing com.

test the legality of the ordinance. The re-
solutions were put to a vote, and carried.
the only voice against them being that of
that stalwart disciple of Gambrimus-Dr.
Johannes Wunderlich.
DR.. Johannes Wunderlich then arose and
addressed his assembled fellow sufferers
with wonderful clea-ness and point, and
gave as his reason for opposing the resolu-
tions that he was opposed to paying any
money to lawyers, when powder and shot
would answer his purpose. After DR..
Johannes Wunderlich had concluded Mr..
Mclnerny again entertained the audience
with some reflections upon the injustice of
any prohibitory or license law and the merits
of the free rum system. After the appoint
ment Of finance committee, the meeting
