Bids have been asked by the ILL
nois Central for the construction Of
800 coaches to be used for transport
ing passengers to the Worlds fair
grounds. The coaches are small and
have side entrances.

ectady Locomotive works, which are

change in the issuing of mileage

will make a striking exhibit at the

been begun on model train which
will form a portion of the exhibit of

Manager Bissell and his assistants
allow any medals to go to any other
concern it will not be their fault.
The Alton has put on six new pas
senger engines and expects to put on
several more before the Worlds fair
opens. The engines put into serv-
ice during the past week were built
for speed and heavy trains, at the
Schenectady shops, and weigh 100

of engines as those used by the Mich

Frssdom Liuuor Licenses Cases.

Objections having been filed to the granting
of licenses to Adam Schneider, of Sykesville,
and Hammond Brothers, of Hoods Mills,
Thursday last was set for hearing them by
Judge Roberts. The objections set forth first,
that the act of 1892, chapter 423, known as
the high license law, did not repeal the act
of 1890, which gave local option to Freedom
district, and therefore the sale of spirituous
liquors in the district is illegal; second, be-
cause the applicants for license failed to COM
ply with the law of 1892, if it is legal, in not
having nine freehoders to their applications
for license, and also for securing indorsers
outside of the neighborhood.
The most of the session Of the court was
consumed in the argument of counsel on the
first objection, which involved construction
of the act of 1892. VIM. II. Purnell, Secre
tary of the Senate, and Carlton Shaffer, Clerk
of the House of Representatives, and several
members of the Legislature were summoned
by the directors for the purpose of proving
that the Freedom local option law was not
repealed, but D. N. Henning, Esq, coun-
sci for the applicants, objected to it, on the
ground that parol evidence was not ad missa-
Bile, and the court sustained the objection.
Arguments were resumed yesterday. Ola.
baugh & Roberts and W. Frank Tucker, of
Baltimore, represented the DIRECTORS to grant
inc license. - I'D .-H-r4-- 49,

ing Lailah Queen of the Festival.
