home pledged to its support with the excep-

nized almighty God. He refused to

of the members neglected their business,
working here for the good of the general
public, without hopes of pecuniary reward.

Way and Are Forgiven.
CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 6.--What has been
termed the saloonist rebellion was formally
ended in the police court this afternoon 10y
the granting of amnesty to the offenders,
on application of their attorneys. The trial
of John Warfinger was in progress. He
has been one of the most defiant viOlatOrs
of the Owen law. When the court was
ready to proceed, Mr.. Thomas, his attorney,
addressed the court and said:
Your HoNoR-STr. Warflinger is one of those
men VINO met and openly agreed to violate the
law. They were men who mad money invested
and thought they were justified in trying TO
MAKE mosey. and they were in some measure
excusable. But they were wrong, and before
week had passed they knew they
were wrong. They saw their mistake,
and last week another meeting was
held at which these men in the presence Of their
counsel, by unanimous vote agreed to obey the
law hereafter, and to 10 everything in It's sup
port that was possible Now, your honorS,
having seen the error of their way, they ask
forgiveness and as their represe ntative, | ask
the court to meet them half way by indefinitely
postponing their cases, now pending against
them, to not be revived so long as they obey
the law.
Prosecutor Corcoran was glad to hear
this proposition, but suggested that the
suspension be for thirty days unless there
were further violations.
AN ADDRESS BY THE JUDGE.
Judge Ermston was apparently pleased
with the course taken. He made lengthy
address concerning previous efforts to en-
force the law, aud concluded by saving:
This law is restriction on a business out of
which no good ever came. Its good effects have
been seen by lis enforcement, and now the
great body of the people favor it. We have
shown that the law can be enforced. / am glad
to see these men come forward and ask forgive
have done so if 1t mad not been for that gallant
soldier Chief Detsch and his efficient and well
disciplined force. THESE men admit conspiracy,
but they were mistaken and they acknowledged
it l propose to meet them half way. l adopt
the prosecutors suggestion but add if there is
no further violation there will be no further
prosecution.
The trial was therefore postponed.
