He was given no chance to secure bail, and

taken to Jail, and P. B. Reilly went
before Alderman Gripp and went his bail

LICENSE COURT PLANS.

The Organization of Northside Dealers
Views of a Member of the Association.
The Northside Liquor Protective Associa-
tion is preparing to take active part in the
next License Court Attorney Christy is
not to be given a monopoly of the business
as great obiector. His rival will be Detec-
tive Hesser, who is devoting all his time at
present in collecting evidence with regard
10 Allegheny applicants for liquor privi-
leges Old dealers who have not lived up
to the law during the year will find them
selves confronted with all their sins when
they come up for examination, while new
applicants with shady past will be called
upon to explain how thoroughly they have
reformed
In speaking of the work that is being
done, a member OF the association last night
said: "Mr Hesser has been instructed to
find out all he can about applicants for
liquor license, and oppose those who are
Undeserving. Members of the association
are not to be exempted in the least, but as
there are none but the most careful dealers
in the association, there will be little if any
evidence brought in court against them.
Our instructions to Mr. Hesser are that he
ter of new applicants, find out the nature of
the places they would probably run, and
whether or not they are fit persons to have
license. In short, he is to get all informa-
tion possible with regard to all applicants
and Law il before the court in Whatever
manner it is decided to receive it.
Since the license fee has been raised to
$1,000 the legitimate dealers cannot afford
10 have trade taken away by unscrupulous
people who sell poor liquor and have little
expense. We want all to keep open the
same hours, maintain good bars and seek
trade on an equal footing. That cannot be
done in small room removed from the
business Of the city, unless the Sunday or
closing laws are violated, and in order TO
prevent such violation the easiest method
Is to prevent certain applicants from getting
license.
"The association, through Detective
HesSer, has been instrumental in driving
out almost every speak-easy in Allegheny.
The liquor dealers who, through choice,
would not obey the laws are compelled to
by our detective, and in every way the
business has been improved The associa-
ton IN Plttsburg is patterned after ours,
and L understand will adopt the same course |
in license court They have not been
established long enough to get information
as thoroughly as we have, but will get as
much evidence as possible and be in line 10 |
have the entire situation in hand again |
another year. 1t has not been definitely |
decided what course will be taken with re- |
gard to the clubs. Nothing will he done |
until after licenses are granted. There ia
no doubt that the clubs injure the liouor |
business, but there are some that il wouId /

VICTORY FOR M'CANDLESS.
The Ex-Sherif Wins Suit OF Long Standing
The Decision of the Court Very I'm
portant From q Legal Standpoint.

The Ex-Sherif Wins y Suit OF Long Standing
The Decision of the Court Very I'm
portant From Legal Standpoint
Judge Slagle yesterday handed down an
opinion in the Court of Common Pleas No.
/, which will be of the greatest interest to
mill owners and manufacturers in general,
as well as the Sherifs of the county If
sustained By the Supreme Court, it will
compel mill owners when calling for depu-
ties to keep the peace in order that they
might conduct their works in time of
strikes, to pay the hire of additional
deputies employed by the county for that
purpose. 80
The opinion is lengthy one, and is on
question of law reserved. The case in which
the deliverance of the court was made was
that of Ex-Sheriff A. e. McCandless versus
the Allegheny and Bessemer Steel Works.
The suit was brought to recover 81, 900 for
the services of deputy sheriffs who did duty
at Duquesne while the strike of 1888 was in
progress at the works of the defendant
company. Sheriff McCandless supplied a
large force of deputies to keep order at
Duquesne, and especially in and about the
property of the steel works He paid the
hire of these deputies out of his
own pocket, as we'll as the rail
road fares to and from Duuuesne.
When the strike was declared
off by the mill workers, and there was
no further necessity for the deputies, the
Sheriff recalled his men, and after paving
them presented his bill to the defendant
company for the sum mentioned. The COM
pany, the Sheriff claimed, had promised to
pay the expenses of the deputies, and while
it did not deny that it had conditionalIy
promised to do so, it refused to pay the
Sheriff on the ground that such contract
opposition to the old English law that it
was the Sheriff's duty always to maintain
order. Sheriff McCandless then brought
suit, and it was tried before Judge Slagle.
He left the question as to whether the de-
fendant company had entered into con-
tract to pay the Sheriff for the expense of
the deputies and reserved the question as
to whether the contract was against public
policy. The jury found for the Sheriff.
Judge Slagle this morning decided the
reserved question also in favor of the
Sheriff -.-.
Judge Slagle, in his opinion, finds there
are good grounds for apprehension that
unless peace officers were ON the grounds of
the company, in that vicinity, during that
strike that there would exist great danger
to life and property, and that under those
circumstances it was in accordance with
public policy that such contract should be
made. He orders judgment to be recorded
in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of
the verdict.
The opinion is regarded most important
one, and settles the question as to the lia-
bility of corporations or individuals for the
expenses incident to riots and strikes, when
they demand the protection of the Sheriff
and agree to pay for the protection thus

THE ADJUTANT INDICATED.
A Court of Inquiry Finds Charles Reese
Innocent of InsoIence.

A Court of Inquiry Finds Charles Reese
Innocent of Insolence.
The verdict of the Court of Inquiry ap-
pointed to investigate the conduct of
Adjutant Charles Reese, of the Eighteenth
Regiment, at Camp Kensington on the date
of August 10, 1891, has just been forwarded
to Pittsburg and is complete vindication
of the accused officer The verdict says
that '!the conclusion of the court is that in
the light of all the testimony which we
now have there was nothing in Adjutant
Reese's conduct on that day which could in
any manner reflect upon his verdict, dis
cipline, behavior and obedience to orders. 3"
The findings of the court have been ap-
proved by Major General Snowden and the
court dissolved. Adjutant Reese announced
last night that having been vindicated he
would at once resign from the National
Guard
