SECOND LICENSE TRANSFER.

An Application Brings to Light the Big
Percentage of Deaths Among Liquor
Men-15 Out of 425 Last Year.
The second application for a. transfer of
license since May will be heard to-day at
$50. The first application was made April
%, when the license of the Monongahela House
was asked to be transferred from Florence G.
Miller to VIM Anderson and Frank Woog.
This was granted May4. An application to be
heard to-day is that of the Hotel White in
McKeesport, from s. Z. Carothers to W. j.,
Denny.
The law in regard to transfers is very
strict, and practically amounts to the ask
ing for a new license. The place must have
been closed, and all business stopped for ten
days previous to the hearing, and some COM
plaints especially with large wholesale houses,
claim this to be hardship, and in case OF death
1t is claimed the license should descend 30 the
heirs as any other property.
A remarkable thing in regard to the licenses
last year, as shown by the books of Clerk Nc
among saloon keepers, as Judge Ewing re-
marked, sis something wonderful" Last year
there were 81 applications for transfer. and OF
these only % showed good reasons for the
change, and received permission. OF these ~.
15 were caused by the death of the owners, and
as there were but AS licenses in all, the per-
centage of deaths is unparalleled.
Efforts have been made to change this trans
fer clause in the Brooks law, but without avail,
sternly opposed to it. The fact must be pub
nshed ten days in advance, and asks that all
who are interested OF wish TO demonstrate,
must be present.

The Glass Manufacturers Meet To-day
MIR. Chambers Talks Tank.
While speaking to the reporters at the
Union depot about the tank system, Mr..
James Chambers said last night:
I'VE are now making rapid preparations in
order to have the second tank ready for opera
tion when the fall season commences. We are
not afraid that we cannot get men to work at
it, in spite of the scarcity of window glass men.
The workmen who work at the tank one day
soon find ont what is easiest and most pleasant
for them, and we have no fear that We cannot
get all the men we want.
'Regarding this trouble about the imported
window glass men, / do not take any notice of
ii. The whole thing was nothing but piece
spite work. and it will not amount to much"
will you be present at the meeting Of the
glass manufacturers to-dayfn
"Yes, suppose so. No, don't know
whether the tank system will be discussed
there or not. / do not see why it should. The
question of of wages, the price OF glass and
other general matters may be discussed, and
that is all can say about it"

1T WAS FIREPROOF.

The First Blaze in the New Stone Court
House Building.
Yesterday shortly before o'clock vol
ume of smoke poured into the County Reg
isters Office through the ventilatlng registers.
search was made and the fire discovered in
the basement underneath the Registers Office.
A huge box. fully Is feet square and packed
with waste paper and sweepings, was in a blaze.
A line of hose was gotten out and attached
to q plug. The plug, however, wouldn't work,
and another one was hunted up. This time the
nozzle end of the hose was found to be at the
plug, and after vainly trying to attach it, over
a hundred feet of hose had to be reversed. All
this time the fire was blazing away, and making
q thorough test of the freproof qualities of the
building. The stone walls and iron ceiling pre-
vented any damage being done, and when water
was at last secured the fire was extinguished in
a couple of minutes.

ELECTRICITY'S PROGRESS.

Il Necessitates New Laws and Now New
Charters Are Required.
The stockholders of the Allegheny County
Light Company and the Pittsburg Light
Company met yesterday in their offices, in
the Westinghouse building, to vote on propo-
sition to accept the provisions of the new act
of Assembly for the incorporation and regula-
power by electricity.
This action was explained as being taken for
this reason: The two companies were incor-
porated under the act of 1874, which authorized
companies to furnish light heat and power, but
no provision was made for electric light, be-
cause electricity was not then in use. But the
amendment. which passed May 8. makes pro-
vision for electricity, and the companies will
have to return their charters to Harrisburg to
be legalized under the new act.

An Exciting Time on Gray's Rond Over
Juvenile Arrest.
There was thrilling time on Gray road,
Thirtieth ward, the other evening. A man
named Ferry, who has become objectionable
to some of the men on a strike at Oliver &
Roberts mill, was passing IN buggy when an
enfant terrible, or s years old, began calling
"Scabr' Ferry caught the urchin, and
woman, seeing the trouble ran out and, pulling
off her apron, rolled a piece of limestone in it,
making a very effective slungshot, with which
she proposed to do up Mr.. Ferry.
A large crowd gathered in a twinkle, and for
a time it looked blue for Mr.. Ferry, but at
length moderate counsel offered by some spec
tators calmed the turbulence.
The boy was frightened almost out of his
wits and Ferry will scarce attempt to make
another similar arrest in that locality.
