ton OF witnesses for the applicant.
Geo. W. Lyons. Henry Miller, J..
Chas. Blocker, Samuel g. Brown and
Adoiph ]. Kooch, testified that there Is
no German saloon in tine neighbor-
hood. and that it would be an accom-.
mediation, and is a necessity Tor the
public. After argument by both sides
the case was submitted.
The case OF Nathaniel DeValenger
OF No. 2l1 East Fl ont street. was TAX en-
up. This is an old place. and the re-
monstrance alleged that 1t Is not kept
IN Nh orderly manner. and that on ac-
count OF the number OF places In the
neighborhood it is not needed. There
were but two signers to the remon-
strane, and MIR. Prickett did not call
any witnesses.
Ex-Attorney General Biggs repre-
scented the applicant. and called the
following witnesses. James Thornton

The case OF Thomas 10y OF Brandy
wine Banks came next. This Ia an APP
,plication for an old place. which has
teen kept for years. The charges are
Iselllng on Sunday and to drunken
men. Mr.. irickett said that he had
summoned six Witnesses and instruct.
ed the clerk OF the peace not to give
the names to any one. He afterwards
saw 10y come out of the clerks Office,
ana upon making inquiry learned that
he had seen the list. When the sheriff
went IN search OF these witnesses
none, except one. could be found,
j The court decided that as the wit.
nesses we're not present and nothing
had been shown that tho applicant had
anything to do with getting them to
go away the applicant stood as though
nothing had been charged against
him. MIR. Prlckett said that he would
go ahead with his one witness, and
called Joshua X. Andrews.
| he testified that he had been in Toys
place on Sundays, and after consid
ierable bohbing around admitted that
he had gotten beer and whiskey there
on Sundays. lie was evidently very
unwilling witness, but Mr.. Prickett.
with persistent questioning, finally
wormed out of him that he had seen
drunken men there on Sundays.
John II. Rodney appeared for Toy
and said that he had no witnesses and
submitted the case.
Tho case of Wesley Blakeley, of
Rising Sun. was about the same as
the preceding, and Andrews was the
only witness examined.
lie testified that he was in Blakely's
place once on Sunday and with COM
panion got some beer.
The applicant was represented by
John ii. Rodney, who submitted the
case.
The last case was that OF Thomas ].
Ryan. OF Lancaster and Maryland
avenues. Mr.. Pickett presented a re.
monsirance which merely stated that
the two or three signers thought there
were too many places in the vicinity
and that this was not necessary. The
case was submitted and this closed the
hearings.
