READY TO REPLY.
CHIEF BROWNS ANSWER TO AN AP-
PLICANT's REQUEST.

He Will Come Into Court and Furnish His
Speak, Easy Proofs-Only One Little
Break in Another Dreary Morning In the
License Court.
Immediately after the opening of the
court yesterday morning Assistant City
Attorney Clarence Burleigh addressed the
Judges, saying: "Will the Court allow me
to make a motion this morning before they
start? In the matter of the petition of John
S. Oehling-a petition for a rehearing, ask
ing that the Chief of the Department of
Public Safety be cited to produce certain
evidence-the Department of Public Safety
would respectfully ask the Court to allow
the prayer of that petition"
Judge Ewing said; "Get the papers in
the case and draw up an order, leaving
blank the date for the hearing, to be here
after fixed. We may fi1 it for the evening,
after we get through all other things L
recollect the case and the application, and
directed it to fled"
THE DEMAND FOR PROOF.
John s. Oehling was before the Court on
last Monday. He keeps a barber shop at
No. $500 Penn avenue, at the Forks OF the
Road. He expressed surprise when told
that he was on the speak-easy list and in
dignantly denied the charge. He alleges
that he was put on the list because he voted
for John H. Bailey for Mayor. On Wednes-
day his attorney presented to the Court a
petition that his case might be reopened,
and that Chief J. o. Brown be compelled 20
come into court and snow what evidence he
has against Mr.. Oehling.
Attorney Burleigh said, after making his
request to the Court, that the Department
was ready to present its evidence. and would
show that the charge against Mr.. Oehling
was well founded.
The Court resumed consideration OF the
applicants from the Twenty-sixth ward.
Reinhard Dipper Is a grocer and cigar
dealer at No. 140 South Eighteenth street,
who would keep a saloon.
WIDOWS PLEA
For nine years prior to 1883 Christian
Eugel kent saloon at No. 202l Josephine
street. He WAS not licensed under the
Brooks law. -Four months ago he died, and
his widow, Mrs. Julianna Engel, now past
middle age, asks for liquor license in the
same house. She has been conducting a
boarding house.
Like many of his neighbors, Frederick
Hoffman,, No. 127 South Seventeenth street,
hoN d hOulAouluB SALOON business until Il6
stringent Brooks law, in 1888, shut him of.
George Hung has been selling soap, lamp
chimneys and sugar since the Brooks law
closed his saloon, but he desires to resume
the beer business at No. 113 South Nine
teenth street. There seems to be some doubt
about the way to spell Georges family
name. In 1888 it was Yang, in 1889 jung.
and this year the petition spells it Yung. A
portly old gentleman, with thin, curling.
yellow gray hair and gray mustache is
George Kunkle, who applies for No. 1900
Josephine street. Until he fell a victim to
the Brooks law he kept licensed saloon for
19 years. He is Just at the beginning of the
Brownsville road, and is thoroughly satisfied
that his house is public necessity. Mr..
Kunkle buys quarter of beer week. His
house is on the speak-easy list.
GROWN GRAY IN THE BUSINESS.
Henry Lips has grown bald-headed while
keeping saloon at the southeast corner of
Jane and South Nineteenth streets, although
he is yet young man. He got in during the
first year of the Brooks law, but on the sec
oud occasion he fell before the reaper. He
is a glassworker, but complains that at the
present time his trade is very dull. Each
week he receives an eighth of beer for him
self and vile, while his four boarders get
two eighths.
A handsome and stylish young man is
Joseph Mccarthy, whose mother for many
years has been keeping boarding house at
the corner of South Seventeenth street and
Fox alley. He wishes to put bar into the
house. He presented a letter from David
Oliver, saying that saloon at Fox alley
would be an accommodation to his men.
One of the two licensed saloons in the
Twenty-sixth ward is kept by John Ru-
dolph, at Nos 1927 and 1929 Sarah street.
who has alwas been able to present good
record. He sets up free lunch, as nearly
all other licensed saloons in the city do.
Judge Ewing warned him to stop trusting
his patrons, saying. "It is contrary to the
