THE LICENSE QUESTION.

Chief Brown Says He IL willing to Fur
nish Information About Applicants If the
Court Desires Ir-It is Now Judges
White and Ewing Who Will Preside.
One of the principal topics of conversa-
tion on the streets yesterday was the coming
session of the License Court, andsswhat the
outcome would be. The general impression
was that the number of licenses would be
materially increased, but as to how many of
the present licensees would sgain:receive q
$500 chrome, permitting them to continue
selling inspiration to the public, there was
nothing but speculation.
Chief Brown, of the Department of Pub
lie Safety, was asked whether he had had
any intimation that the police records would
be the criterion which would determine the
persons who would be licensed, and said he
had no official assurance to that effect He
was ready, however, when called upon, to
produce the police records. not alone relat-
ing to the present license holders, but also
to those vino formerly held them, and would
probably make fresh applications.
Some time ago Judge Ewing called upon
Chief Brown, and in speaking of the license
question, said he was in Philadelphia last
year during the hearing of the license ap-
plicants, and was astonished to see, after
the conclusion of each case, the Judge call
aside the chief of police and consult with
him upon the applicants record. The deci-
sions rendered were generally governed by
the reputation given the applicant from the
officials. This would possibly indicate that
the same course would be pursued in Pitts
burg, as the records of the police bureau
are probably more complete and minute
than those of any city in the country.
There were also reports yesterday current
that the License Court would consist of
Judges Ewing and White, instead of Ewing
and Magee, as before supposed. 1t is well
known that Judge Magee does not wish to
sit in the License Court, aud that Judge
White has had about as much of it as he
desires, so the conclusion drawn by the
County Court officials is that Judge Ewing
alcne will preside.

TO DISCUSS THE NEW SCALE.

Strike Threatened, ms No Agreement Is
Likely to be Reached.
The coke operators and miners met in
ScOttdale yesterday to discuss the new scale,
but what action was taken is not known,
nor can the outcome be anticipated. The
present price for mining 100 bushels is 95
cents, but the new scale calls for 81 80.
The operators say that cents per hundred
is a big advance, but have intimated that
they would be willing to pay that price.
The miners on the other hand are now will
ling to compromise on 81 10, but as there is
no likelihood of this price being granted
strike seems imminent. Many OF those sup
posed to know say that strike will in all
probability occur.
The new scale also provides for an eight
hour working day, but as they work by the
piece it will not increase the cost of produc-
tion any. The conference will likely have
lengthy session.

CAPTAIN M'INTYRE INJURED.
Two Cable Car Accidents at the Smithfeld
Street Crossing.

Two Cable Car Accidents at the Smithfeld
Street Crossing.
Two accidents within few minutes oc-
CURED at the corner of Smithfeld street and
Fifth avenue yesterday. About 1 40 o'clock
Captain Mcintyre, well-known riverman,
started to cross the street. He did not
notice cable car No. 35 coming at full speed
up Fifth avenue. The end OF the car struck
him and knocked him down. The pilot hit
him and rolled him over several times. The
gripman finally got the car stopped and
Captain McIntrye was picked up. He was
very much bruised but no bones were
broken.
A few minutes afterward a cable car
coming down Fifth avenue ran into a
Smithfeld street car. The passengers in the
latter made wild exit to get out both doors.
The shrieks of the women could be heard
half block, although none of them were
hurt. There are two officers and a boy
stationed at this corner, but despite their
efforts, the speed of the cars is daily the
cause of accidents.

The b. q U. X. X. Gives n Check to the Exs
position for S1.449 16.
The Western Exposition Society, yester-
day received from the passenger department
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad a check
and voucher for 81 ,449 I6. This is the COM
pany's donation of a part of the receipts
from the sale of excursion tickets during the
Exposition season. The society expected to
get 10 per cent of the receipts from all rail-
road companies, but from present indica-
tions they will be disappointed.
The Allegheny Valley road also sent a
check to Manager Johnston for $535 81. This
represents 10 per cent of their Exposition
excursion sales. Nothing has yet been heard
from the other roads. 1t was expected that
the PennsylVania Railroad would come in
with check for $1,000, but whether they
will do it or not remains to be seen. The
society counted on getting between 5000
and So, 500 altogether.
The GIFT of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany will be greatly appreciated by the
Board of Managers OF the Exposition. The
officials of the company made rate of about
~ and cent per mile. At this low rate
they claimed they made no money, but
stuck to their agreement to paw over 10 per
cent Of the receipts to the society.

and by that time the marriage may be ar
ranged.

An Attempt VIII be Made to Revive the
Central Trafic Association.


Central Traffic Association.
Charles o. Scull, General Passenger
Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
was passenger on the Pennsylvania lim-
tied last night, on his way to Chicago, to
attend a meeting of the Central Traffic As
sociation. He said he was riding on the
Pennsylvania Railroad to see how it went
and said the line was good one between
Baltimore and Pittsburg, but the Baltimore
and Ohio was better.
The meeting in Chicago is to be held to
reorganize the passenger department of the
association which disrupted sometime ago.
The cause of the dissolution was on account
of the plan of organization, which caused
some lines to take no interest whatever in
the association. Notwithstanding the break
the rates were maintained and the roads got
along better than if they had an association.
Representatives of the Pennsylvania lines
will also attend the meeting.
