city, General E. E. Bradley of West Haven,
Captains Cornell and Kingman OF Bridge
port, the latter being inspector of rife
practice in the fourth regiment.
The music was by the Wallingford band,
John McDonough leader, and it gave great
satisfaction to all present; their selections
were good and their playing almost fault
less.
The battalion drill was narrowly watched
by the military men present. Although
there was perhaps some room for criticism
in the marchings and wheelings, in the man
uRl of arms the battalion were almost per-
feet In the s'order arms'' every musket
seemed to strike the floor at the same instant
and the companies were repeatedly cheered
| for their excellence in this regard. His
Honor the Mayor was present at the review
and also at the dress parade. Before the
| dress parade the sharpshooters and marks
men were called oat of the ranks and form
ing in line on the markers were presented

Scranton.

poral A. P. Allen, PrivRtes G. s. Holmes and

A ROPE OF SAND
why Liquor Dealers May Sell Spirits
with Immunity.

The agitation Of the questions relating to
legislation concerning the liquor traffic in
this District is at its height, and the pro-
ceedings of Saturday add fuel to the fire.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the
proceedings before the committee was Com
missioner Vests statement concerning the
virtual immunity from punishment which
the violator Of the liquor license laws en-
joys under the present state Of affairs.
A reporter asked General West to-day to
explain more definitely the meaning of hiI
remark, and he said that he had not con-
sidered it prudent TO call attention TO the
defects Of the license laws before tho liquor
dealears had paid their licenses for the
year, but now that the licenses had been
secured and Congress hast n opportunity to
remedy the defects, it is only fair to say
that the sale of liquors can be Professionally
carried on in defiance of tho Commissioners
and the courts and without much fear of
punishment as it is exceedingly difficult
to make strong case before the Police
Court, more so to secure conviction before
a jury and virtually impossible to punish
the offender if he is convicted by jury,
as he cannot be sentenced to Jail or the
workhouse, and fine can only DO collected
through the doubtful medium Of civil
suit.
Tho popular war between tho liquor
dealers and the prohibitionists continues,
and much interest centres in the report of
the District Committee tomorrow on tho
License BILL as it has teen thoroughly con-
sidered in every feature, and the verdict Of
the committee upon its merits will be the
result of careful and profound analysis of
the bill
