Anti Reformers VIII Try to Defeat the
Appropriation for the Commission.

The anti-civil service reformers are deter
mined to make fight on the civil service COM
mission when their appropriation comes up for
consideration in the House.
They say they will not only oppose the propo-
sition to give the commission five additional
clerks, but will fight the whole appropriation.
hoping to abolish the commission by cutting
off its supplies. This will amount to nothing
more than harmless amusement for the spols-
men, as there is no chance in the world Of their
succeeding in their design. The temper Of
the House on this subject is such az to promise
them the support of no more than corporals
guard.

District Cases in the Criminal Court
Today.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing-
ham, this morning the trial OF the case Of VIM.
+. Donnelly for keeping an unlicensed bar at
14th and streets in August last was resumed.
The arguments having closed yesterday after
noon the chef Justice charged the jury this
morning that they must be satisfied that the
defendant was the proprietor of the business at
the time to convict
The jury in few minutes found a verdict Of
guilty, and o sentence of Clio fine and costs
were imposed.
One of the cases against James d. Donnelly
for unlicensed bar Sept. to "A. 1887, was next
called, Messrs. Cahill and Davis for defend
ants Officers John Frazier and Francis
Hughes testified to obtaining liquor there and
License Clerk Montague that Donnelly had no
license.
The defence asked verdict on the ground
tnat no evidence as to proprietorship had been
gwen, and also asked q verdict on the ground
that the violation was through the procure
ment OF the officers and that the officers we're
sent out to make a case
A. The court In charging the jury said that If
tney beheved that the officers went there to
obtain evidence the grant would not be es-
topped, but they could not send an officer to
Induce the commission of a crime
The jury found verdict of not guilty
The next case called was that agains; James
the same year. The defense asked to file a
special plea that this was charge for the same
ofense in the same year and that Incense tax
could not be collected twice in the same year.
MIR. Dumont replied that if that was the case
the only thing person had to do was to open
a bar room and then, through the fine, pay the
license.
Mr.. Davis said if this plea was overruled he
would move the court to direct nolle pros.
Mr.. Dumont suggested that they did not
know what the verdict would be.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION
The chief justice, after examining the law.
said that it was the fine that was imposed, not
the license tax, and that prosecutions may be
brought for several periods in the same year.
