The cases of several Italians charged
with selling liquor without license in
'.Little Italy" were tried in Municipal
Court this morning before Judge Ball.
City Solicitor Turner conducted tine
prosecution and w. T., Lyman, Esq, was
counsel for the defendants. The men were
arrested on Sunday night and had been
out on bail until this morning.
The first case was that of Lewis Dol
lard, charged with committing the oftense
on January 10. The information had been
Incorrectly made as the time of the
ofenge was January 30, so that the case
was dismissed and the information
altered Swell Hall, colored, testified
that he drank q bottle of beer in Dollard' s
place and that il was paid for. Dollard
withdrew the plea of not guilty and sub
stituted a plea of guilty on the second
indictment Judge Ball fined him 500
and costs.
Nicholas Fidance was not arraigned
Michael Mitchell testified that he and
s'Japoo" bought ten bottles of beer from
Fidanee's place for so cents. On the fol-
lowing day he went to the place, but
Fidance wouldx.not sell him any beer
officer Hershock, who made the arrest,
testified that be found two kegs and sew
eral boxes of bottled beer. He also said
he had seen Lewis Porter. the interpr e
ter, come from there drunk. The case
was discharged, as no evidence was adj
duced connecting Fidance.
Another charge was made against Fl
dance. that of selling liquor on January
30 without license. Annie Mitchell, a
pretty girl not quite IA years old was
the principal witness. She is daughter
of Michael Fidance and does not look
like him. Her speech was good and her
manner modest and straightforward
It is a strange anomaly that such per-
son must be associated with Italian colo
MES, where all of the bad and none OF
the good elements exist. She testified
that on the date mentioned she was in
Fidances store and saw fat man go to
the cellar and return with bottle OF
beer, which he sold to a man for five
cents She said it was lager beer and
not Weiss beer.
The defence endeavored to show that
the witness did not know the difference.
Mr.. Turner delivered short address Oh
the difference between the two beers anG
said anyone could tell the difference by
sight. Judge Bail remarked that people
AS near-sighted as Mr.. Turner coulC
hardly depend on sight alone Mr.
Tarner said: "Not entirely" Officer
Martin testified that Fidance's place wal
q nuisance.
Peter Leone, with the accent on tn,
''ter, was called by the defence. Mr.
Turner swore him and then learned tina
the Italian did not know what he ha,
done Peter Locasco was called as an in
terpretey, and Mr.. Turner swore hin
twice as he did not know the formula
Then the witness was sworn again
Joseph Martin, Lewis Porter and Pete
Leone testified that the "lager" beer wa
Weiss beer. Lewis Porter denied that b.
was ever drunk. Martin said the bee
was presented as compliment" on pa,
day. Judge Ball fined Fidance 300 AM
costs, as the charge had not been refuted

CHURCH ENDOWMENT.
A Paper on the system Read By George
w. Bush at Central Church.

w. Bush at Central Church.
At the frst Wednesday evening prayer
meeting of each month the congregation
Of Central Presbyterian Church discusses
different phases of the Church at
Work" Last evening the subject was
"our Partial Endowment Fund, It's Pur-
pose and Necessity" George w. Bush
read paper on the subject and w. K
Crosby and the pastor, Rev. w. p.
Swartz, made remarks.
Mr.. Bush treated the subject generally
at first, citing instances OF several
churches which had been partially en-
dorsed, and which were remarkably sue
cessful. Speaking Of Central Church he
said:
The history Of our own church is in
teresting in this matter. When the
church was dedicated in 1856 it was in
debt for the sum OF 500, 400. This debt
was paid OIL by the year 1863, and in the
meantime or shortly afterwards, the
church had built Monroe Street Chapel.
which afterwards grew into West Church,
the old Rodney Street Chapel,
now Rodney Street Church and Gilbert
Chapel, which is still our property. The
parsonage, costing $1,000, was bought
and paid for, and then the endowment
fund was commenced This now amount:
to SO, APO, which is invested partly il
perpetual insurance on the church, par
sonage and chapel to the amount OF
81. 060, 81, 200 in bond and mortgage and
a balance in the Artisans Savings Bank
If the members Of the church and
congregation in addition to contributing
to the monthly collection, would make I
bequest to it of sum according to theil
means. as is recommended by DR.. Nixon
it would be of immense advantage to itl
future. On account Of its situation, Al
we know, it has already lost some impor-
tant members who fortunately for tn
cause Of Presbyterianism have founded |
new and promising enterprise. We mus
expect to lose others by the same reasons
and the time is not far distant when 81
endowment of b25. 600 will be an impor
tant element in the sustentation of thi
church.

bail for attempting to kill George Win
gate. barkeeper for George w. Griffith,
whose saloon is at Eleventh and That
cher streets. Mr.. Wingate's story, which
is corr0borated by the other witnesses for
the state is as follows: At 8 o'clock last
uight DR. Mann went into Grifiths
saloon and treated the crowd. Then he sat
down to table and chatted awhile. Win
gate spoke to him and when he came to
the bsr reminded him that he had not

that's all right, you know where live.
WingAte said: THAT don't 60 here;
want the money" Mann made no show
of paying. Wingate then struck him
over the shoulder with piece Of hose
and ordered him to pay the money. Mann
paid the money. 'Now get out Of here"
ordered Wingate, and the doctor started
As he reached the door he drew a re-
volver and fred at Barkeeper Wingate.
and then placed the revolver in his
pocket and left. Wingate saw the motion
and lodged behind the bar. The bullet
lodged in panel and the bRrkeeper was
uninjured. He hurried up town after an
officer to arrest Mann, and saw him In
Brady's saloon, Eleventh and Thatcher.
The doctor was arrested by Officer Hahn,
and admitted to him that he shot to kill,
and added that he did it in self-defence.
The testimony showed that the doe
tor had nothing to defend himself
against All the witnesses corroborated
the story. Francis Nevington, one Of
them, was questioned by DR.. Mann
whether Wingate struck him, Mann,
after he paid the money. Witness said
he did not Mann exclaimed that the
witness was liar; then Judge Ball "sat
upon" Mann. The case was placed in the
