ALL THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

were sick when their names were
called, will be heard previous to resuming
the retail list. 1t is confidently expected
that all the applicants may yet be heard this
week, so that jury trials may be proceeded
with next week. Judge Collier indicated
last evening that the Allegheny list of those
to whom retail licenses will be granted may
not be given out until all the retailers are
heard.
The proceedings yesterday were about as
dry as on the preceding day. The e1amina-
tions consisted chiefly in inquiring into the
extent of the applicants business, and from
the nature of this investigation it would
seem that all who have done less than SIS,
900 need not have very high hopes of get
ting license.
