THE LICENSE ACT OF 1875.
Judge Elwell 0verrules Judges Ross and
CLAYTON.

Special Correspondence Of The Times.
DANvILLE, September 23.-Before dis
posing of applications for hotel licenses yes
tesday, Judge Elwell delivered an opinion,
holding that the act of 18th April, 1875,
the local option law, did not take
from the courts the power, nor discharge
them from the duty, of hearing petitions,
remonstrances, evidence and counsel on ap-
plications for licenses, and of passing upon
the questions raised, as required under the
laws then in force, as construed by the Su-
preme Court in % Smith, 200 The deci-
sion Of Judge Elwell is in direct opposition
to that of Judge Ross and Judge Clayton,
published in The Times sometime since,
holding that the courts have 10 discretion
upon the subject of licenses.

Court Proceedings.

The September term ofthe several Courts
for this County opened on Monday after
noon at 2 clock His Hon. Judge Dreher,
President, and Judges Gruber and Stauffer,
Associates, upon the Bench. 1t afforded
great pleasure to the numerous friends of the
senior Associate Judge to see him so fully
recovered from his recent severe illness as
to be able to fill his honorable position at
this term. Though still very feeble in
comparison with his usual rugged health,
he has improved as rapidly as his most
sanguine friends could expect, and we hope
ere long to see him fully restored to his
usual health ana strength. After the
Constables returns, Judge Dreher delivered
the customary charge to the Grand jury,
Linford Marsh of this Borough, having been
selected as Foreman, who then departed to
their room.
The afternoon was occupied as usual with
business in the shape of petitions, motions,
&c. DUNG the afternoon the Grand Jury
came into Court and presented true bills,
in case of Commonwealth VS.. Nelson Berger
for larceny, Of four geese in Polk township.
He being the enterprising individual who
materially assisted in taking down the walls
Of our old Jail one night last spring. Also
in case of Com. VS. Richard Hartzell for
fornication and bastardy.
On Tuesday morning the Grand Jury
made presentments in cases of Com. vs..
Charles Henry, for assault and battery,
bill ignoramus, Peter O'Hare, prosecutor,
to pay costs.

up. 1t was an action of trespass to recover
damages for an injury to valuable bull
Norton and Kerr own adjoining farms in
Stroud township about mile from the
Borough. Norton, among large herd of
cattle possessed thoroughbred Durham
bull, very choice and valuable Norton's
cattle breaking from his pasture in August,
1872, got into Kerr's buckwheat, who In
driving them out hurled stone knocking
out the eye of this Durham bull, rendering
it utterly valueless, as alleged, for breeding
purposes, so worthless that it was shortly
afterward slain. The value of the bull
was claimed by plaintiff to be $500. The
defense was a justification, also that the
bull was of nothing like the value claimed
This case was not concluded at time of 60
ing to press.

SWITCHED OsF.-Iast Saturday night
Mr.. Frank Smiley, for number Of years
an employee GA the y. j. &. W. RR. and
conductor OF " wildcat train for the past
year, came to the conclusion that he would
switch off and wake zap j new train, which
he intends running through life. He
was Mt particular about the number Of cars,
in fact, be didn't vast any; all he wanted
was one passenger and that one he wanted
to accompany him over the railroad of life,
through smash ups, and blow ups as well as
share the comforts that may surround them
while on the journey. Miss Sarah, daugh-
ter Of Mr. Davis, one Of the psoprietors OF
the Stroudsburg Woolen Mills, was the ia
vored one, one altogether worthy the chape-
ronage Of so modest, industrious and gen
tlemanly conductor. Ia short, they were
married and started off on their journey,
q for better Or for worse, with the sweet
strains Of the Sroudsburg Cornet Band
ringing in their ears. He passed check
to the Treasurer Of the Band, with which
they were pleased and made happy
Well, Frank is good steady fellow, Miss
Davis, an accomplished lady, and they both
deserve to be happy. We can only say:

beating, but at the end of the game, they
found that they lacked "senven runs" of
being successful. For Portland, Bell, as in
the previous game, played splendidly, both

THE Pennsylvania Railroad is doinc
larger freight business this year than ever
before. Harrisburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes thus encourag.
ingly;
''There was time when more trains
were run on the Pennsylvania Railroad. full
freighted, than are now passing over its
three great divisions, the eastern, middle
and western. The efforts to make up fol,
the lost time in the mining regions is one
Of the causes Of this heavy freight business.
and the immense crops gathered in all parts
of the State now being pushed to market
is another. The middle division of this
road has always been regarded as the great
center of its local trade, because it runs
through the richest portion Of the mineral
and agricultural region of the State, or is
fed by lateral lines which pass directly
through that region. These latter lines
arc now passing immense quantities of
freight to the middle division in the shape
of coal and lumber, which make up the ag-
gregate Of the vast traffic TO which | rofcr.
1t crowds the entire line east and west be-
tween the Schuylkili and the Monougahela
with tremendous trains, and puts 70 the ut
most test the rolling stock, steam and blood
power employed by the company, These
gigantic freight movements are the indica-
tions of a revival of business most cheering,
and as they show large increase over the
same period for two years past, it is fair to
infer that the effect will be very profitable
to manufacturing and merchandising in
other States. The resumption OF railroad
traffic, like this, is always the sure indica-
tion of the revival of business among pro-
ducers, but it must not be inferred that
manufacturing production is yet in state
to be regarded as permanent revival. In
the interior of the State and particularly in
the locality embracing what are known as
the iron and coal regions, resumption pro-
ceeds slowl y, What with depression from
over production, and embarrassment from
strikes and the falling off in demand from
the failure of several gigantic railroad en-
terprises, the iron business of Pennsylvania
received backset i'll the last two years from
which 1t will take many years of good man
agcment fully to recover. The efforts to
revive this trade, as made by one Of the
leading roads in the eastern part of the
State, Is one of the influences to which we
can attribute the increase of freight on sew
eral other roads but the freight increase
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, such as
the vast number Of cattle trains and the
still larger number of trains now engaged
in hauling through freight, is more all IN
dication of trade revival in the West and
Southwest than it is of a local character
But taking both together, the local and
through freight now passing both ways
over the middle division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad shows that there is gradual and
steady increase Of business all through the
country. The shocks of the late panels
were so tremendous that this gradual re-
vival Is not perceptible over the whole coun-
try, and can only be seen in channels like
| that to which | refer.
