MOVEMENTS OF THE L. AND 0. AGENT

McClure's Office yesterday afternoon he wa
surrounded by his intellectual aggregation
of spies. hearing their reports of faithful
Sunday labor performed and giving then
pointers on their department. McClur
was in good humor, and had in his insid
pocket 80 remonstrance blanks agains
liquor dealers which he just had especially
printed, and the pleasure he had in prospec
of filing these documents made his watery
eyes glow with an appearance of happiness
When asked who were to be his victim!
in this line of proceeding, he smiled con
templatively as, writhing about in 'Uriaf
Heep" fashion for a moment, he answered

men in Forward township, where 1 belong.

Busy Looking After His Own Case.
''How about those Sunday-selling suits
entered last week? Have they been set
tled?''
'No, sir; they will all be disposed of this
week, think. The reason hearings were
not held last week was because had not the
time. My time was all taken up with court
cases and the perjury charge against me,

| this week closely. 1 wish you would say
for me that will not ask for a change of
venue on that perjury suit. don't think I
would have much of show outside of ALLIE
gheny county and 1 propose to fight the
thing out at home. Just wait until my case
is tried, he concluded as he drew from his
| pocket and affectionately fondled the bundle
of remonstrances, 'you will see that the
jury shows its belief in my integrity. lam
| well known here and am not afraid"
Soon afterwsrd the agent was seen by the
reporter at the Court House examining with
evident satisfaction the applications for
license from Forward township.
Mcclure is not the only person taking an
interest in the remonstrance business. Thus
far twelve remonstrances have been filed,
| received I'D until the 17th inst, many more
are expected. Many petitions are being
| fled in favor of applicants this year also.
Heretofore the court has received such
petitions up until the License Court opened,
but this year they must be filed with the
Clerk of Courts on or before the 18th inst.
A Widows Application Refused.
Judge Collier yesterday refused applica-
tion from the widow of B. Papencordt, of
McKee's Rocks, to transfer the license
application filed by her husband to her
name, he having died recently. A transfer
of this years license was permitted, but the
precedent established to transfer the appli-
cation for a new licence in such cases was
followed. Every year five or six applicants
die after filing their papers before the
License Court opens and in every case the
transfer has been refused, except where the
death occurs after the license has been
granted. Another death of an applicant on
this years list was that of Felix Henla, of
1921 Penn avenue, who died last week.
Among the papers filed yesterday was a
general remonstrance against George Hol-
land, who is an applicant for No. 20 Center
avenue. There are 25 signers from the i'm
mediate vicinity, and they set forth that q
saloon at that location is unnecessary and
would be detriment to that residence
neighborhood.
Park Bros. & Co. filed remonstrances
against Richard Fewer and John Heck.
Both want licenses near the Black Diamond
Steel Works, and the firm alleges that
while Fewer gives No. BOIL Smallman
street as his location, tine place is really in
Spruce alley, place where respectable peo-
p1e would not so, and at night dark and
dangerous locality. Heck's place. No. 2942
Snallman street, is also described as a dark
place at night, and the remonstrants set
forth that neither of these saloons are neces-
sary in any sense. A comprehensive plan
showing both locations accompanies the re-
monstrances.
Remonstrances Outside the Cities.
There are 20 signers to the remonstrance
against August Zeder, of Ohio township.
They say in their communication that
Zeder is not fit person to have license,
that the house he applies for has bad rep
utation, and no saloon in that section is
needed.
John W. Crozier, of the Second ward,
Mckeesport, will be lucky man if he gets
license over the remonstrance filed yes
terday against him. 1t is signed by nearly
800 property holders and citizens, and de-
clares that within short distance of Gro
zier's place there are three churches. The
building, it is claimed, is not hotel nor
suitable for one and is IN strictly res
idence neighborhood where a saloon would
be very undesirable.
The remonstrance against Emil Number
ger, of Baldwin township, has 46 signers
who subscribed toi the statement that the
place is not suitable fora hotel, a saloon is
not necessary in the neighborhood and the
better class of people are opposed to any in
the locality.
William F. Aull, agent for the Denny
estate and the Nevin heirs, and others re-
to Otto Hauch and William E Hayes at
Third avenue and Market street. The
paper states that Mrs. Nevin leased the
property to Mrs. M. r. Thompson for a
grocery, and the lease does not Justify and
she has no right to sublet any part of the
property.
Think 1t Is Not a Necessity.
A general remonstrance with 30 signers
was filed against Jacob Shulz, of 234
Frankstown avenue, on the ground that the
place is not necessary, and would be detri-
ment to the neighborhood.
Among the petitions in favor of appli-
cants filed yesterday was one for Charles
Kuster, who wants to do business at 146
East street, Allegheny. The petition con-
sists of seven sworn testimonials of good
moral character in neat type written form,
to which the names of one politician and
six merchants are affixed. They are G. j.
Schondelmyer, H. Blumhagen, Anton Ris-
ter, Frank Noting, Charles L. Walker,
Andrew J. LEM and C. A Muehlbronner.
A petition for Charles Reiche, of Baldwin
township has 55 signers. One for John
Schira, of Lower ST. Clair township, has %
signers. The one for Henry J. Seibert, of
