SrEUBENvILLE, o., February l3.-Ihe
LAWYERS have a cause for grumbling. They
saw the docket is fun TO overlooking with
civil cases, and all the time of the Com
mon Pleas Court is taken up with liquor
cases. The civil cases involve thousands oil
dollars and parties interested are mere
waiting Tor them 10 come up, but there
seems 10 be no probability Of their being
reached this term. One attorney thought
il would be the proper thing Tor the Pro-
bate Court 10 dispose Of liquor ana othsr
minor criminal trials instead of taking up
the time of the Common Pleas. The Pro
bate Court has fun jurisdiction, and the
Judge seems 70 have plenty OF time TO de-
vote 10 them. The above is called 10 the
attention of Probate Judge Miller ana
Prosecuting Attorney Erskine.

antee that everything will be arranged sat
