Tho Hartman Will susrained-Judge L,v-
inssron's Remarks Oh the License
Question.
In the Hartman will case the jury re-
tired at half-past five O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, and were out until half-past 10
o'clock, when they agreed. This morning
they came into court aud rendered YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff. This verdict
sustains the will as made.
In the case of Catherine Herr, VS. Henry
Eshelman, reasons for new trial were
filed.
The License Gases.
The court took up the licenses and heard
the applications for new stands and argu-
ments in those which have remOnstrances
against them.
A motion was made for a continuance
of the case of John Klump, keeper of a
restaurant on Locust street, this city, to
enable tho owner of the property to pro-
cure another tenant SO that the license to
the house might not be lost. Judge Liv-
ingstOn stated that in regard to this case he
had refused to license this house from
certain facts that came to his knOwl-
edge and from personal observation.
He has been taking Sunday walks
around the city for some months past in
order to learn something concerning the
running of licensed places. In passing
this place one Sunday he found the ell
trance open and great many men passing
in and out :; he there saw sufficient to
convince him that the law was being
violated by the selling of liquors. With Il
view to give this mar, as we'll as others,
an opportunity to vindicate himself no
had prepared an affidavit, which was sub
mitted to Klump and he refused to sign it.
His honor stated that he had knowledge
of other saloon keepers who have violated
the law. Some of these he could not reach
as licenses have already been granted them.
Parties who are suspected of violating the
laws will hereafter be compelled to sign
| the affidavit of the kind submitted TO
Klump, if they desire a license. 1t reads
| as follows

In regard to hotels his honor stated that
| he had also been on the alert and had sus
picions t. at the law is violated on Sunday
in some places a great deal nearer the
seat of justice than Humps. He has
| seen the front of many of these places
open and persons going in and out on Sun
day men carrying empty buckets were
seen to 60 in and come out with the vessels
full. At other places the shutters have
been bowed, but quickly locked
when he was seen III the
neighborhood. He wanted hotel men
to understand that they must comply
with the law also, and he had prepared an
affidavit for tho " "shaky" ones to sign
| if they desire license. Counsel may as
well inform their clients who keep hotel
in regard to their duties in running their
place according to law. For if the court
ascertains that the violations of law con-
tinue, every man applying for hotel or
restaurant license will be compelled to
sign these af1idavits. The one prepar,
for the hotel men reads as follows
