on the Cigar Men sndtns Other Sunday
eslesmeA-
There was no small excitement yester-
day among milkmen, cigar sellers, "a.
loonists, street car drivers ana ONE -
persons who have been in the haplt OF
doing a Sunday business. ms e1eiee,
ment was Induced by the manliesGo u
the Claw and Order Society, so called;
A rioar was hard to get, and a drink still
harder. although both could be procur.
"a he those who "knew the ropes"
Most of the cigar establishments were
c!o.sd. and even milkmen rang their
heIIs less loudly than they Go
on other DAYS. Street car drivers were
moi n~srticularly anxious to work as
some OF them believed they themselves
would be compelled to pay the q e In,
Cured on account OF the ln!ractlon OF
the Sunday law and this they did not
wish IN do. A number OF men were en-
o.oed Yesterday in nosing around the
cc;ty and these were narrowly watched
nv all Sunday dealers. Altogether the
sunday was as quiet as any we remem.
her OF lust now, and next sunday VIII
likely be more 30.
The head center of the movement
came into the REGISTER office last night,
and gave Us the following abstract oil
the days proceedings:
ave did not attempt to do a great
deal Yesterday, but nevertheless We did
something. We think We have one GER
tain case on q ~saloonist, and perhaps
more. We have one case on each oil
the street car lines, and n or two cases
on livery men. We do not annoy the
cigar men, the news depots or milk
men, but next Sunday We will start out
on a large scale"
What Justice OF the Peace will try
the cases, or have the informstions yet
been made?" asked the r. m.
mo, sir, no iniormations have yet
been made. The detectives will meet
the Society to morrow Monday even
ing and report the infractions and tine
inlractors to it. Our counsel, Capt.
Dovner, will meet with US, and the in:
formations will be made out next day."
"What Justice will issue the war
rant's??" ,
ESQUIRE Caldwell would have issued
them but he will be out OF town Tues
day anu it is likely that either Felber OF
Wheeler will do the work
"Do you think the movement will be
sue 'essfuI??"
Yer, sir, ii there is anything in the
law. 1t will only fzzle when the last
suit that We bring is decided against US
Capt. Doverer is the only lawyer We
have at present, but we have another one
engaged to act with him in the event o.
an appeal. | apprehend that some o.
the cases will be appealed. l believe
that is q. this vening Some NOR
some other evening. Good evening"
"What is the ulterior object OF this
movement" asked the reporter.
we propose by agitation 10 make the
law obnoxious to all, and thus reform II
If Council will not repeal the ordinance
We want it to relegate the matter to Tho
people for their approval or disapprova
of our course. We trust the people tc
say by their ballots whether the pres
ent laws shall stand or iall. One-thirc
Of the voters are Germans, about tina
many more are Irish; and then We Will
derive a large support from young
America; fully ninety.nIne out OF one
hundred OF the Germans will support
us while the Irish will turn out fully a:
strong. Thus you see that we would be
very strong before the people"
A reporter talked with several saloon
ISIS last evening and all OF them SAID
they had nothing 10 do with the move
ment, and one ridiculed the whole per
Torrance. "W:y, look al Pittsburgh s
short time ago; the thing was thoroughly
tested there and failed and it will tizz't
here. | don't know OF any saioonlss'
in favor OF it,"
