noon In the Grand Jury room of the
Court House.
Messrs. Kirby, Richman and West
cott, the members, gathered about
the end of one of the tables, and
scarcely recognizing the presence of
any of the many present, proceeded
with their business. &
President Kirby, the Vineland-
Massa chusetts member OF the Board
did the talking for the trio. He was
quite busy adjusting every thing just
about to his fancy, and finally asked
Secretary Wells If he had any thing to
bring before the Board. That official
filled out newspaper bill of the Ne,os
for $1.A and 1t WAS ordered paid.
Then President Kirby picked up
bundle of papers and, looking earnestly
at them through his polished spec
tacles, began calling them off. At this
time the room was filled with anxious
applicants who were extremely desir-
GUS of entering into the business
Those about this city, were not long
kept in suspense for he announced the

All of these applicants were present.
and they took an apparent uncon-
cerned Interest in the proceedings.
Christian Heller has Wholesale IL
cense for malt and brewed liquors, and
the Board thought there should be a
place here where a person could pur-
chae a quart of liquor for medicinal
and other purposes, and Thomas
Camac, Sr., was granted permission

annual license. His place of business
will be No. 40 South Pearl street.
Mrs. Emma Obeldoble, who made
application last August to have beer
saloon No. "A North Laurel street, was
more fortunate yesterday afternoon,
as the Board decided she might grace
the profession" and a saloon was evil
dently needed north of Commerce St.,
aad her license was granted.
Millviile applications were then
taken up. For nineteen years this
city has been without legalized saloons,
and the Board in the greatness of their
wisdom, decided that a change should
take place there, and five licenses
were gran ed for that place, while
serveral less fortunate applicants were
permitted to chew the bitter cud of re-
Election.
George w. Zimmerman, of Millville,
who was sent to Jail by Judge Hoag-
land, for keeping disorderly house,
was granted license to sell lager beer
at 129 Main street.
Henry Bishop was given permission
to sell at wholesale, malt and vinous
liquors at 18 West Broad street.

street.
Daniel Silvers will also conduct a
liquor hotel by virtue of the authority
of the Board.
Charles Garrison's application was
refused owing to Irregularities.
R. B. Naylor, asked to keep "sa-
loon." To the minds of the Board, this
term was entirely to, Indifferent, and
Robert will have no bar of his own.
Mr.. Westcott, called the attention of
the County Liquor Legislature, to the
fact that the City Council of Millville
had made the license fees for hotels
$1,000, and for saloons $1,000. This
was too exhorbitant, and dirty look
ing petition was pulled from the pock-
ct of the President and handed to
the Secretary, with the order to read.
The President cautioned the Secretary,
however, not to read the names at

The petition was addressed ito the
Honorable Members of the County
Excise Commission, and went on to
pray that the license fee in Millville
be fixed at the same figures as In other
parts of the County. The Board de-
