The License QuestiOn


For the Republican.
Please allow me space in your valu-
able paper to give the public some facts
concerning the sale of intoxicating
drinks in this city. In 1873 when the
clerk of the peace issued the license to
the applicant having paid the sum of
$40 in the treasury of the county, and
having otherwise complied with the lib
eral requirements of the law, there
were in this city about 125 places, drug
stores and groceries included, selling
Intoxicating liquors.; selling without
license was an almost unheard of occur
ence. In 1879 there was issued from the
internal revenue department about $50
licenses to liquor dealers, consequen
ly the total number of dealers will not
fall short of 300. State licenses during
the same year were granted to 80 ap:
plicants to 66 in the May term and to
"a in the November term. Applicants
refused May term II, November 10, to-
tai %; of these applied at both terms
leaving 28 unsuccessful applicants.
By this table you will find that out of
the 300 dealers only lis have tried to
comply with the law, leaving about $50
who during the whole year never even
tried to receive license. II a man is un.
principlsd enough not to make the least
exertion to become privileged to sell ac-
cording to law will his conscience re-
strain him to sell on Sunday or to sell
to minersl The $Il5 per year ESTIMATED
cost OF state license) saved and layed
away for emergencies, will in most
instances pay fine and costs if persecu-
ted. 1t is fact not deniable that many
dealers have sold since 1873 to the
present day without having paid one
cent in the county treasury.

that while he was on Curlett street,
Saturday afternoon, Campbell called
him into his house and began to ex.
anime the contents of a basket which
he was carrying.
When Miller objected Campbell drove
him from the house, and when they
were in the street he knocked the ped.

Mrs. Miller endeayored to aid her hus-
band q man named Graham struck her
in the face. The prisoners denied the
charge. Graham was discharged and

The railroad connection between Phil

sorbinG topic The persent line, the
Phila., Wilmington u Baltimore r al
road, has hard time trying TO satisfy
the three great roads: the Pennsylvania,
the Reading and the Baltimore & Ohio.
The company is now desirous of getting
out Of It's worry by leasing to one of the
rival companies and is now negotiating
with the Pennsylvania, whose oficers
are now making an examination of the
inc. On Thursday two Pennsylvania
Railroad cars drawn by Pennsylvania
Railroad engine passed over the PhIla.
u Baltimore Central Railroad which is
controlled by the P. W. & B. The
special train carried the officers of the
Z. r. r.
The leasing Of the present line to the
Pennsylvania will undoubtedly expedite
the building of q new railroad between
Philadelphia and Baltimore, as other
wise connection between the B. & o.
and the Re a ling would be impossible.
Col. McComb's pl oject is now lying in
allegiance. He controls the Delaware
& Western Railroad charter, which will
put the new road through Delaware,
and the West Chester g. Philadelphia
Railroad charter would put it through
Pennsylvania. Col. McComb, it is gem
orally believed by knowing ones, still has
the option of the controlling stock inter-
est in the latter road, but is making sure
of his ground before taking it, that is he
Is seeing that his enterprise will be
