THE MoFFErT WHISKEY BILL PASSED BY
Born IIOuSES-SoME OF ITS PROVISIONS
Both houses OF the General Assembly have
passed the bill known as the Motiett register
or bcl-punch. 1t now goes to the Gov
ernor for his approval. II signed by him
the measure cannot become operative until
the registers are made and the instructions
of the Auditor relative to their use promul-
gated. The registers are to be made by the
lowest bidder therefor, and the cities are
to be first supplied with them.
For each drink sold, the bar-keeper, in
the presence OF the customer, is to turf the
crank once. That action will ring bell and
cause the hand on the dial to register one,
Just as gas-mcter registers the quantity OF
gas consumed. Where malt and alcoholic
liquors are sold there must he kept a register
for each. and malt liquor is to pay tax per
drink of half cent; alcoholic liquors two
and half cents.
There are stringent provisions for cases
where liquor is sold by the measure, and the

MAXCHESTER NEWA.

A Noble Tribute. Information has been
received OF the arrival OF the remains OF
Foreman McHenry, OF Shed G (at Westham
Granite-W orks), at Baltimore. He was
noble and gallant ex-Confederate soldier.
who served in the Thirteenth South Caro-
lima regiment with distinction during the
late war. His funeral, on last Saturday, was
the most imposing the stone-cutters have
ever yet had. Most Of these boys served on
the other side during the recent war, and
yet when this old ex-rebel's remains were
conveyed to the depot they were followed
by q larger force than ever since the stone
cutters came here. The tribute was noble
one. and shows the spirit existing among
these brawny hard-fsted sons OF toll.

THE MOZART LAST NIGHT.-The forty
sixth musicale OF the Mozart Asso ociation
was q brilliant affair. "Zampa," " Blu
menlied," and "Waltzes Berlina Kinder :"
were rendered by the orchestra in capital
style.
MIR. Adolph ThIow gave pretty violin
solo, accompanied by Miss Laura Thilow
on the piano. These performers are very
Young, and the audience was surprised at
their proficiency. They have decided talent,
and. as they have had the best Of teaching,
they will both in a short while be great
ACQUISITION to the list Of our concert musi-
clans.
This was followed by grand septuor,
composed by Fesca, and rendered by Pro-
fessor Jacob Reinhardt. piano; Mr.. j. Pc
ters, violin; Dir. e. Peters, viola; DR.. Pc
ters, cello; Mr.. Wildt, flute; and Mr.. John
Reinhardt, French-horn.
Although of considerable length, the
work was rendered all through with taste
and spirit. The soft, rich coloring OF the
horn, and the bright silver-mounting OF the
flute, came out beautifully.
Messrs. Kessnich, Thilow, and jacob
Reinhardt-violin, cello, and piano-played
lovely trio by Schumann, which was
warmly applauded by the audience. 1t was
thought by many to have been the gem OF
the evening"
The most difficult thing done during the
evening, though, was Mr.. Krarse's bassoon
solo fadagiol by C. d.. Won Weber. This
gentleman has fine tone, and he brought
out the quaint, weird strains with nice
effect. He was applauded to the echo, and
had to return to the stage to make his
.fbow."
Mrs. Reinhardt, who was to have sung
two solos, was prevented by indisposition,
much to the disappointment OF the audience.

"Under a license to sell by Wholesale,
the dealer shall be allowed to sell only in
quantities of five gallons or upwards; and
under license to sell by retail, in addition
to wholesale. he shall be allowed to sell in
quantities OF one gallon or more"
There arc provisions specially applicable
to wholesale dealers, and also to the dealers
who do both wholesale and retail business.
The opponents OF the bill represent that
it is probable that northern parties who, it
is claimed, have patents for some Of the
mechanical principles made use OF in the
Motfctt register will enjoin the officers OF
the State from using them. But on that
! point the friends Of the register seem to
have no fears.
