Ferry.
PARIS, March 1S.-The room in which Jules
Ferry died has been transformed into a mortu-
airy and is hung with draperies worked with
silver. The public in themeantime are no..
allowed to view the remains. Il is said that
the government will propose state
funeral. when the body will be removed to the
Luxembourg. The will of the deceased states
man directs that his remains shall be buried at
Foucharupt. in the department of Vosges. near
the place where he resided during his retire
ment from public life.
NJ. Ribot took the news of Ferry's death to
President Carnot, who was very much affected
by the announcement. The president said: 1T
is the disappearance of one of the reserve
forces of the republic precious reserve"
The republican newspapers appear bordered
in black. La Republigae Franchise says this
morning: HE did not hold the full position to
which his manly virtues and robust intellect
entitled him. Republicans will rank him with
the noblest citizens and best men of the
country"
La Justice saws: 1--WE stubbornly combatted
him. but standing beside his tomb we only
recall the fact that he took part with great
energy in the struggle to secure the triumph of
the republic"
The radical La Ldaterne says: '.Among the
founders and servitors of the republic his posi-
ton will remain prominent as one OF the hb-
orators of France"
Le Radical saws: "His death will comfort no
body. while it will af1lict his immediate parti:
cans"

Ferry makes great gap IN the ranks of re-
publican veterans. He was a narrow-miHded
and sectarian partizan, utterly destitute of
generosity. but lie Was a man."
Le GGuiOts. legitImist, says: 'All that the re-
public regards as its work sprang from Ferry.
If he deserved well of republicans he WAS of
evil omen to the country, FOR by excluding
from education the idea of God he became an
important factor III the national demoraliza-

Jules Ferry saws in his will: II order the
interment of my body in the st. Die cemetery,

yided that the excess OF cost above sic 600 shall

ing TO front feet. and collec.od as other taxes
on real estate are collected. and propounding
the following questions:
1. How soon can the assessments be made?
?. Is n necessary that the entire work shall be
completed before arv assessment can be madeg
3. How soon after the work - completed or the
assessments msde viii the last assessment be
due?
In answer to Capt. Fiebegcr's first question
the opinion states that as the statute uxes no
time. the assessment should be made vi him a
reasonable time after the work Is completed,
say within thirty or sixty DAYS after the work
is done.
In answer TO the second question Mr. Thomas
SAYS hS opinion IL the eutire work shor 4 be com

Sholld the prosecution o: the work he stopped
from any cHIse after "a connected portion has
been com ieIed the adjoining owners could
not be compelled to ray an assessment, for the
reason thar while the completion of the en-
tire contract might be beneficial TO all

To the third interrosstory his answer is that

being fixed by the act. will depend on the time
to be fixed by the Commissioners. The analogy

UNDER THE OLD LIQUOR LAW.
A Test Case to BE Made Whether Such
Licenses Valid.


Licenses are Valid.
Policemen Steep and McGrath of the first
precinct appeared in tine clerks office of the
Police Court Yesterday afternoon to swear to
the warrant against Salconkeeper Bush for
keeping an alleged unlicensed bar under the
new act. This action was taken in
accordance with instructions from Mr..
]. L. Pugh, jr., the prosecuting at
torney as mentiored in yesterdays STAR
Under The new law it is necessary for two repu.
table citizens to swear TO a warrant, and as
such the two officers signed their names to the
affidavit.
The warrant charges that Henry Bush. man
ager of the Banner Brewing Company. on 10th
street nortwes: did then and there sell intoxi-
eating liquors in quantities less than five gallons
to be drank the premises without
first having obtained license so to do. the said
Bush being required to obtain a license before
selling said liquors. contrary to and in viola
ton of an act of Congress, approved March 8,
1888"
As published in Yesterdays STAR. the war
rant was issued after Mr.. Pugh had examined
the law and concluded that the licenses under
the old law had been repealed. Mr.. Bush has a
! license under the old law, and the case will
be made to test the question.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED.
This morning Mr.. Bush appeared in the Po-
lice Court with his counsel. Mr. John A. Clarke,
and the case was called to the attention OF
Judge Kinbali.
Mr.. Clarke said he would demand Jury trial
/ and the case went over.
Mr.. Pugh was willing that the personal bonds
of Mr.. Bush for bis appearance. bs taken and
the court adopted that course.
The case was set Tor trial Oh the 2s:h of this
month. but it viii probably be heard at an
earlier date for the reason that it is the desire
of all parties TO have the go to tho court
| in general term for a decision.
| Mr.. Pugh holds that the case cannot go to the
| higher court because the act creating the court
OF appeals makes no provision for appeals from
| the Police Court to the higher court. That act
goes into effect April 3. and it is the desire to
/ have the case leave the Police Court before that
/ time.
| Today Mr.. Pugh issued q warrant against the
proprietor of an alleged 'speak easy" in the
one-miie limit. The warrant was issued on
the oath OF Capt ]. J. Murphy. an inmate OF
| the home, and Policeman Mcnamara and
charges james Dempsey with selling intoxicat-
| ing LIQUORS IN portion of the District where
the sale is prohibited by law.
| Dempsey keeps small grocery store in rem
| of Hardwood avenue. near Soldiers Home Gem
etery and 1t is charged that he has been selling
| liquor. The warrant was placed i'll the hand,
OF Officer Mcnamara for service.

EFFECT ON THE FIGHT.

1t Is believed by many that the death OF the
squire may have some effect upon the Mitchell
Ccrbett match. The executors of his estate
may insist upon the withdrawal Of the go, 600
stake money which the squire put up. In that
case the match will likely fall through, as il is
thought that there is no man in England who
will back Mitchell for that arlount
