LAST OF THE LIST.
The Number of Liquor Appli-
cations Just 153 Less
Than Last Year.
A NOTICEABLE DECREASE
In the Cities, the Township Taverns
Being Well to the Front,
AS A RESULT OF THE $1,000 FEE.
Names and Locations Given in the Papers
Filed Yesterday.
A NOTICEABLE DECREASE
ALL READY FOR THE LICENSE COURT


$50 o'clock last night there had been filed
1,775 applications for privilege to brew
distill, bottle and sell the various brand:
and mixtures of frewater in Allegheny
county for the coming license year. This il
153 less than were filed last February. The
figures have not been fully analyzed yet
but it is safe to say that the decrease is in
the cities where the $1,000 license fee i.
required There seems to be an increase in
the retail applicants from the districts out
side the cities
When the License Court, on the third
Monday of March, begins hearing license
applicants it will have to consider ], AIS re-
tail applications, 229 wholesale, 43 bottlers,
25 brewers and distillers Last year there
were 1901 retailers, 329 wholesalers, 60
bottlers, 80 brewers and distillers. The
fact that the Court this year will have the
same discretionary power with regard to
wholesale applicants as they have had with
retailers no doubt accounts for the drop OF
100 in the number of wholesale applicants.
Dealers Who Became Reckless.
The same reason is given for the decrease
Of 20 among those applying for bottling
license. It is said that o number who en-
loved either wholesale or bottling license
this wear have been flagrantly violating the
new wholesale law ever since its passage,
because they knew it cut item out of secur-
ing another license.
The decrease in the number of retail ap-
plicants is only &c, but as stated before,
there is slight increase outside the cities
and the decrease is altogether in the cities
The drop of seven in the number of brewery
applications is partially accounted for bv
the fact that last year Robert Liddell and
the William Tam Brewing Company's
business was in an unsettled state, and in
order TO provide for any condition that
might arise they had four applications.
Neither Richard Gangwisch, the Allegheny
brewer, nor the Vesser brewery at CHARTERS
are applicants this year
An attorney, in looking over a number of
the applications filed yesterday said that if
the Court is inclined to be critical this wear
a good MANY of the petitions for license will
be thrown out because of the careless man
ner in which the papers have been drawn
up bv the attorneys. As an instance he
picked up the petition of Nicholas Klinkler,
Of III Southern avenue. Mr.. Klinkler
wants a retail license, bat his application
is made out on awhoiesale blank, which
differs from the retail form. Other defects
A Ward With One Applicant.
The only application filed for the TWENTY
second ward is from Edward Moran, who
wants to do business at 80 Forward avenue
There has not been saloon in the Twenty
second ward under the Brooks law. A man
named Joyce has applied regularly until
this year, but through remonstrances bv
Mrs. Ellen Watson and others the license
was refused.
The Morgan House, at Taylor and Irwin
avenues, Allegheny, which was managed
by ellison Lightcap prior to his death last
week, has two applicants Joseph Carson
and James Donahue each filled separate
petitions for the house. The only parallel
for this case was that of R. L. Murphy, of
the Hotel Albion, whose application for
license was duplicated, except the name, by
his wife.
The petition of Jos. Heating, proprietor
of Keating's Roadhouse, on the Perrysville
road, was among the last fled. He had been
Ii on Friday, but had superstitious notions
about doing anything so important on Fri
day and decided to wait until yesterday
When he discovered that Yesterday was the
18th day of the month he nearly tainted.
He had about decided Yesterday to wait
until tomorrow and take chances on the 21-
day limit prescribed by law, but last night
overcame his superstitious fear and drove
into town with his petition, arriving Just in
time to avoid being too late. Yesterdays
