Inst of rhe Retail List.

The last of the applicants for retail licenses
in Allegheny county were heard yesterday. At
the opening of court there remained only Is
names on the regular list. The Judges agreed
to reopen the case of Henry Elkin, of the Sec
ond ward of Homestead. On Tuesday of last
week Mr.. Elkin was not heard, the Court de-
Gliding that it would be useless as bis license
had once been revoked at Hutton. However
Attorney Cox had secured the permission of
the Court to have his client heard on his merits
Elkin has bought the old Carnegie House in
Homestead and wants a license for it Since
last September he has been in the service of the
United States Internal Revenue Bureau.
Judge Ewing said that he had looked over the
papers, and found that Judge White had re-
voked the license simply because liquor had
been sold to minors. That, he thought. hardly
brought the case within the language of the
statute which forbids the granting Of license
again.
