9TH CITIES ARE WELL COVERED.
CLERKS OvERBURDENED BY THE WORK

tions to offset them, kept rolling in all day
and besides those filing them there was
crowd present composed of saloonkeeper
and their attorneys anxious to learn if an!
of the dreaded documents were enteret
against them. True to prediction, Agen
Mcclure and Attorneys Price and Christy
turned in a stock of remonstrances, but, e1
cept in the case of Christv, the lists wer,
not as large as had been expected.
Mr.. Christy filed few early in the day
against Harrison township parties. Wher
doing so he asked Clerk of Court
McGunnigle to keep his Office open las
night, as he had a large number of others tc
file. Mr.. MeGunnigle and his assistant
George Treusch, remained at the office unit
9 o'clock last night and were about to leave
when Mr.. Christy entered with bundle
of 4j0 remonstrances. McGunnigle ano
Treusch were staggered. Not one of the pa
pers were numbered or properly Endorsed,
and as they are against old and new appli.
cants all over the two cities and some from
outside, the work of arranging them in
time for the opening of the License Court
on Monday would form prodigious task.
Christv Promises Another Batch.
Mr.. McGunnigle at first declined to at
tempt it. saving it should be legally done
on or before the 17th, and he thought the
'ourt would not accept the papers unless
roperiy indorsed. Mr. Christy compro-
Used bv an agreement to furnish clerks to-
ay to arrange, number and finish the
,apers. He declares his intention of going
nto court to-day and asking for an extern
ion of the time for several days, as he says
he has many more to file, but they are not
illed out. He had worked, he said, for 4S
hours without rest and little time to eat in
order to get those turned in last night ready
for filing.
A large number of those filed by Mr..
Christv are of general character and SIM
ply allege that no necessity exists for
saloons where the application is made for.
Owing to the lateness of the hour the infor-
nation cleaned from the papers was of a
meager character. There are from two to 20
in every ward in Pittsburg
bat the Thirty-first. Every ward in Allie
chenv is named in this list. There are not
so many outside the cities. P. A. Richards,
who applies for house across the street
from Father Sheedy's school in the First
ward, is on the list and the priest himself
is one OF the remonstrants. Joseph Alex
ander, the only applicant from Coraopolis,
Is another OF Christy's victims, and there
are go signers to the paper.
Many Personal Letters Filed.
Some of the remonstrances filed yester-
dav make interesting reading. As on the
previous day number of personal letters
10 the Court were filed with the other
papers and in one of two of them some i'm
portant information is impaired. The i'm
preston about the Court House is that no
matter how liberal may be the intentions of
the Court, the points made by many of the
will certainly have their
effect.
Joseph Stolzer's sister, in a letter to the
court. asks that he be refused license in
the Twelfth ward. She says he is i'm
moral man and unfit to have license. In
1856 she saws he brought a vile woman to his
fathers house and in spite of entreaties of
the family kept her there until 1883, COM
polling his sister to leave, so that she has no
home to-day, and because she refuses to re-
turn to his home he has circulated stories
damaging to her character
Benjamin Barber, of Braddock, writes an
odd letter demonstrating against Louis
Anshel He saws Anshel is the meanest man
saloons, controlling one in Braddock, one in
and one in Mckeesport, licensed
under names of other men. Another allega-
ton seriously made against Anshel is that
be signed contract with the merchants of
the town to close his clothing store at
?. NJ, but failed to keep the pledge.
Joseph Pauley, of Grandview avenue,
Thirty-fifth ward, has two remonstrances
against hin-one with 65 and the other with
81 signers. The reasons given are that it is
| residence ne gh 0orhood, the applicant is
not 81 fit person and there is no necessity for
/ saloon there.
The pastor and officers of the Providence
Presby terian Church complain against the
application of George keidaisch, of 80 Madi-
son avenue, Allegheny. They show that a

licenses being granted in Knoxville borough

ience, there is not Il drug store or physician

ward adjoining; that saloon would cause
disorder i'll the borough which has no DO
ice protection, and il a license were granted

rom the city who could not get it where the
,olice protection exists.
An anonymous letter asks that Henry

ence, OF Braddock, mostly from Braddock |
