called attention to certain facts which
would sustain his views.
Mr.. Blair said half the ordinaries
which got out licenses were not ordinaries
within the spirit and intent of the law.
The well established theory ofall legisla-
tive bodies to raise revenue was to tax
luxuries. and drinking being such, liquors
ought to be heavily taxed.
After some further remarks, which are
mostly embodied in the above, the ayes
and noes were called. Those voting aye
were 3Iessrs, Baird, Blair, Carnshan,
Cunning, Hall, Roberts and Wallace
) Those voting no were Messrs. Butter
field, Cowan, Egerter, McAdams, Scham-
bra and Ulrich. So the amendment was
carried.
On motion of Mr.. SchamCra that part
| of the section which provides that there
: be no draw backs bealowed for any por-
| ton OF the wear, was striker out and
amended, so AS to read that all licenses
( taken out after the first day Of June
/ shall be paid for at the proportionate
| rates for the year.
On motion of Mr.. Blair that part Of
the section which referred to permitting
| the transfer of licenses was changed 50
rs TO read that no transfers be allowed.
On the reading of the section referring
TO coffee houses, DR.. Baird moved to
strike out $3.50 % and and substitute
$500 90 in lieu thereof, which
was passed by seven ayes to SIX nays, the
same gentlemen voting rs before.
Mr.. Cowan moved that the same
changes be made in relation TO drawbacks
and transfers of Coffee House licenses
as for those of Ordinaries which WAS
passed. The ordinance was then read
the third time and passed, and returned
to the Second Branch for its action.
The report of the committee on
/ Streets and Alleys in relation to paying
James Graham 1898 10 for macadanizipg
was read, and the action Of the Second
| Branch concurrcd in.
The bill of b. w. Peterson, City Sur
veyor, amounting to $G2 was concur
red in
After recess of half an hour or more
! the license ordinance was returned from
the Second Branch with the information
that it could not concur in tine action Of
the First Branch.
\ committee of conference was
asked for, and the Mayor appointed
Mes,rs. Baird, Wallace and Cowun. At
ter hort absence the committee return
ed a.i ing decided to make the license
on both ordinaries and coffee houses the
same rs last year, which puts it for erdi-
narics $3.50 on the rental value OF 5000
and ten per cent additional on Il rental
value over 500, and $3OOon coffee houses.
The action of the Second Branch was
concurrcd in.
The following resolution, offered by
DR.. Baird, was read and passed:
Resolred That the keepers Of ordina-
res shall return, under oath, the amount
paid by them when they are renters, and
when the keeper Of the ordinary Is the
owner of the house, the assessor shall fix
the rental value.
On motion adjourned.

Nes,rs. Blair, Bard, Buttcriield, Dun.

The minutes Of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The ordinance assessing Licenses Tor
the fiscal year 1873, commencing the first
Monday in May, rs received from the
second Branch. was read Tor the first
time On the second reading,
Mr. Wallace moved that instead Of Il
tax of $l25 dollars year. on rontaI
value of 500, it ne changed to read 500.
DIR, Baird amended the amendment by
moving TO increase 1t to 500.
Mr.. Wallace accepted the amendment.
At this stage of the business general
discussion cnaucd between the friends
ami opponents of the increase, and some
feeling manifested.
MIR Wallace thought that the saloon
keepers thriycd under the present tax,
and that there were more applicants this
veor than Inst. He was for increasing
The amount to its greatest maximum.

that was reached he was ready to back

Sir. Wallace quoted Pittsburgh, and
said the saloon keepers there paid from
$500 to $500 a year.
MIR. Hall was Of the opinion that all
that cIsss who were identified with the
LIQUOR interest, in the city, were earnest

n Afterwards il was ascertained that
Webster allows both ways OF spelling.
The above list contains about all the
words missed, some four or five being
lost. But, '.if we do say it ourselves,
the wonder is not that any were unheard,
but that so many were obtained, for
never before at any of the spelling
matches with which Wheeling has been
afflicted, was there one .halfthe confusion
and constant noise that reigned at Zane
street last night At one time the word
"BaLcl' was given out, and it was ncces-
sarv to announce it several times before
the speller could hear it, causing the
thought to gain expression from many,
that a babel was there indeed.
At the close of the contest there were
sixteen of Capt. Cracraits (the Zane
street, side still standing. out the twenty
with which they started. Mr.. H. Zevcly
NuDlblH Vi lLS l$uIHSLaIl SIu'i was tHN
last one to take his seat and went down
on the word "balzarine" 1t WAS quite
evident that The Zane street side had
studied their lesson much better than
the other, so that the Lutheran school
need not lament seriously their defeat
There is but one more spelling match
announced, the one that takes place at
st. Joseph's Cathedral on Tuesday even
ing, and il is TO be hoped that it will be
the last.
The St. Joseph's spell, however, is to
be intermingled with other attractive
features, such us music, tablcaux, rccita-
tions. etc, that will relieve the monotony
Of the affair, and is feature that others
would DO well to copy.

honor to the hotel, and IL source Of great

thereof. Here jest, wit and song made

parting song to the tune Of God Save
