WAsHIxGros, Pa, April 5.-Jonas EN-
cry, q distiller FROM the eastern part Of the
county, has rented room in Washington
and expects to open q wholesale liquor
store soon. Washington has long been Q
no-hcense town, and the prospect Of Its 3D.
vent has stirred mp much excitement
Our temperance people held two meetings
In the Court House this week, one on
TUESDAY and one last evening. Speeches
were made and advice given by Judge
Atcheson, Rev. McAvery, OF Pittsburgh,
DR.. Moffat, Major Ewing, Fletcher Wright
and others. Committees were appointed
to draw up resolutions looking toward .
ornament organization. The matter in
brief stands thus: A distiller may, under
a recent decision OF the Supreme Court,
yend liauor in quantities not less than
gallon in the county where his distiliery
Is located. II Mr.. Emery comes here ne
will be doing only what he has legal
right to do, but public sentiment is all the
other way and the feeling on this matter
is stronger than some of the speakers last
evening seemed to credit A liquor deal
e1's path here will not be strewn with roses.
The only legal way OF getting at the matter
Ia BY constitutional amendment, wnlcn
will take at least FIVE years and probably
twenty-five. Now, from what We know OF
the Z eople of W. and the state OF feeling
on the subject they will hardly consent 70
sit inactive for five years with q wholesaie
liouCr store on Main street. What meas
nres thew will take II would be hard to pre-
dict, but that they will take some action,
and that strong one, is certain, though
we do not apprebend any resort to violent
or Illegal MEASURES.
farm OF Mr.. Hess, near this place, has now
reached depth of 500 feet, and the work Is
being rapidly continued. At the depth OF
f25 feet a pocket Of gas was struck, almost
a sure indication that ii is present in much
larger quantities at q greater depth.
