A POWERFUL CLUB.
The Strongest in the Peninsula is n
Whiskey Club.

nhthhog AAhbs
A Chestertown, Md, despatch in the
Baltimore Sun this morning said; The
whole county and town have been watch
ing with great interest the outcome Of the
whislxey trials now going on in the court
at this place. Many earnest temperance
men have for some time believed
the local option law OF Kent
county to be failure. The num-
Der thus minded viii be largely in.
creased by the results Of the decisions
given on Friday An instance is given in
the following case Among the ir.dict-
ments for violating the local option law
were several against S. II. Crawford, the
proprietor Of the Crawford House. The
only witness in the case when asked ii
he had ever bought whiskey from the
party charged refused to answer upon
the ground that he would thus criminate
himself, as he was member
Of a club and was furnished
liquor as such. The question Of
club rights, etc. then arose. The court
required the defendants counsel, Messrs.
H. w. Viclyers aud Constable, to produce
the constitution and bylaws Of the club
and the witness to identify his own sig
nature The club was formed last April
under the name Of =" The Chester Liter
ary. Musical and Social Club, and now
has six hundred and twenty-three
members enrolled. The proprietor
Of the hotel was president, and his
salary was stated to be 500 per month. 5.
Thomas acted as secretary, and others as
board Of managers and directors. The
members could pay dues when they
pleased, bnt must be square at the end OF
the month. In reply to the query Of the
court as to where the profits went, Mr..
Crawford replied that they had not paid
expenses up to this time-it was then
800 in debt The court decided that
the witness could not be required to
answer under the circumstances, as the
law made the club itself liable to indict
ment for the violation of law, and the
witness being Ia member of said club
would be eliminating himself The jury
then rendered verdict Of not guilty. 1t
is now held by some TO be only necessary
for any one to form club and sell

and there were no less than seven

A GENTLE SEE-SAW

Is the Situation in the Court
House and City Hall Commits
sion.
The court house and city hall COM
mission seem to be in as tight dead
lock as ever deliberative body knew.
The highest vote given to any one arch
itect is four, and that vote has been
given to several. w. ii. Dennis & Co,
have climbed to that height a
number of times, and E. E.
Myers, of Detroit has scored
up there, but never stayed. Gen Wash
burn is firm as a rock for Bell, the lat
est supervising architect for the govern
ment, but enjoys that distinction en-
tirely alone. John De Laittre is fond
of Long & KEGS, because they built the
Syndicate block. John Swift thinks the
laboring element wants Dennis, so he is
for him and Dennis is for S wifi,
John G. Oswald favors the H
plan of Long & KEGS and thinks
well of Myers plan, choosing between
the two. Titus Mareck is for Long Il
KEGS, and uncertain as to second
choice. Ericsson, who was an employe
or superintendent of the library build
Ing, has always been put down
as for Long & KEGS, first,
last and all the time, but he de-
serted them on the last ballot,
at Wednesdays meeting, when the vote
stood four for Dennis, four for Myers
and one for Bell. This, it is said, does
not indicate the sentiment of the board,
but was of the character of an expert
mental vote. Gen. Washburn has gone
East. so that it is uncertain when the
next meeting will be held, but it is GER
the matter settled and some active work
begun.
