THREE CITIES HEARD.
Retail List in Pittsburg, Allegheny
and McKeespOrt Finished.
SUSPENSE WILL END on SATURDAY
Detained Applicants Will Appear Before
the Court To-Day.
JUDGE WHITE STILL HOLDS HIS GRIP

The hearings of retail applicants from
Pit:sburg, Allegheny and McKeesport were
completed at O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Then Judge White announced that the
court would convene at $50 this morning to
hear the applicants who were unable to ap-
pear before on account of sickness. All the
new applicants will have to appear in per-
son, because the Court holds that it is
obligatory TO examine each applicant in
person. In the cases of those who now hold
licenses, however, and could not appear at
the time fixed, witnesses may be heard in
their behalf.
Immediately after making this statement
the room was cleared and the Court began
the consideration of the testimony. Judge
White was asked when the licenses would
be given out, and said he could not tell,
but it would not be later than Saturday.
Judge W hite is still victim of the grip
but remains on the bench In order to relieve
Judge Magee of big burden of the work.
