prNoHRAoK,s RESOLUTION.

The permits issued to colored churches from
the City Hall are not Issued to the congregations
to authorize them to hold meeting Of worship
as we were led to say yesterday In error. These
permits are required, we are Informed BY the
Mayor, only when the congregations give fairs
at their churches or entertainments OF a like
character, to which price Of admission is
charged or where liquor is sold and the au-
thorzation Of the Mayor to give such entertain
ments is not required OF colored people alone,
but Of every person or combination Of individ-
Pinchbaeks resolution has no reason OF being.
THE PRIVATE MARKETS.
1t was understood. at the Hall that to-day the
City Attorney would take steps to execute y The
men who may still be In contravention Of the
which the private. markets may be established.
and as well against such OF the market men
who have not vet paid their license.
In this connectign the Mayor received vis 1t
yesterday from delegation OF the private ter mar

Ing for their consideration. Some dtsappoint-
mept st the delay was naturally manifested by
diate action of the City Attorney referred to
above, but there seemed to be no help Tor 1t.
Indeed, judging from the past. 1t would appear
that the private market license was fixed at the
present rate In order to put ms near as possible,
the public market people on an equal footing
with the. private market men, and to prevent,
for hyg1enic purposes, the toe prom1scuOus

r In conversation with the Mayor we asked him
| whether the enforcement of coal oil ordinances
would be stayed until the proposed coal oil
warehouses were constructed. He answered
| that the law is In actual operation. and that 1t
existed prior to the proposition of the mer-
chants to erect a special central warehouse.
and therefore all dealers in the article who have
in store coal oil In excess OF the quantity lin
tied by law are in contravention, and may at
any time be brought up before one OF our re-
corders and fined for their disregard OF the
| plain words of that law.

and Tor ks. tin cups, dinner plates and cups and
saucers and six water pitchers.
BRISK COLLECTIONS,
