THEY PAID.

The Base Ball Players Acquitted by
Jastioe Shoemaker.
The office of Justice Shoemaker was
crowded this morning by base ball players,
cranks and witnesses. The attraction was
the suits against Toman, Reilly, Ryon,
Setley, Toole, Henry and Mulderig for
participating in the game against the
Remove team on Sunday last. Sol. Foster,
Esq, started the proceedings by en-
tering a bar of Judgment against
the prosecution in the form of receipts
and transcript from the dock t
of Justice Toomey, showing that the play
ers had already paid a fine of $40 for
playing ball on Sunday, last. Mr., Hollo-
peter, counsel for Rev. William Powick,
subjected William 5. Brennan as to how
and when he paid the fines and Justice
Shoemaker eventually decided to dismiss
the cases brought against the players.
The cases against John f. Higgins and
Charles Smith for selling general admis-
sion tickets were postponed until Monday
evening.

Reputation of a Transfer is
Retracted.
WIN. PENN KING WINS
Interests Down the Valley Become
Vested in One Family-Bender is the
wholesaler, HIS step Father the Retailer.

Louis Bender, "the king of VIM Penn, "
as he is called, won litigation at Potts
vile yesterday. The case was com
plicated one, although the point at issue
hinged upon q saloon license.
Bender, on application Of N. NJ. Burke,
ESQ, obtained a transfer of the wholesale
license held by Andrew Mack. This license
Mack held as agent of the local brewing
company. A representative of the com
pany, accompanied by Mack and counsel
appeared before Judge Bechtel at cham
bsrs on Tuesday OF last week and entered a
protest against the transfer. The transfer
had been made before Judge Weidman
and the fact that the man who had made
the transfer repudiated the act naturally
aroused the suspicion of tie court and for
that reason the case caused much interest,
by Bender making personal statement to
the court and did it in such a manner as
to wipe out the ire Of the tribunal and
score a victory.
Mack claimed that he did not, in any
way, agree with Bender that the license
should be transferred and upon the show
ing he made before Judge Bechtel the
brewing company decided to ask for rule
30 show cause why the transfer should not
be revoked
The proceeding was an unusual one,
such as involved the good faith of counsel,
but it was clearly shown that the court
had not been Intentionally imposed upon
At the time of the transfer of the
wholesale license to Bender the transferee
had his retail license transferred to his
step-father. On the face it appeared as
though Bender proposed to control both
the wholesale and retail licenses and
crowd Mack out of the business, but
when the matter came up in court Bender
made a statement in which he set forth
that he loaned Mack the money with
which the wholesale license had been
taken up when granted at the last term
of court, and had loaned Mack other
money for teams and outfit for delivering
beer. In consideration of these loans
Mack agreed to transfer the wholesale
license.
S, g. NJ. Hollopeter, Esq, opposed
Bender on the ground that he had been
selling by wholesale and retail previous
to the transfer and now proposed to con.
troll the retail and wholesale business un-
der his own license and the license Of his
step-father. But at the eleventh hour Mr.
Hollopeter stated to the court that an
amicRble adjustment had been made be-
tween Bender and the brewing company
and that the company would not ask for
the rule to set aside the transfer of the
license. Mr.. Bender also appeared in
court and stated that he would use the
Wholesale license only as agent for the
brewing company and thu G had no in
terest whatever in the bus ~ conducted
by his step father. The court thereupon
decided that Bender should retain the
license held.

A GOOD IDEA,
Have Children Practice Military Tactics
In the Schools.

Have Children Practice military Tactics
In the Schools.
This is the season OF the year when the
people find time to discuss the progress
and prospects Of the public schools, be.
cause the closing Of the term brings with
it a review Of the work done during the
year and discussions of arrangements for
the new term. 1t was in this connection
that the question of having military
tactics substituted for calistheuics in the
public schools was taken up by a few Of
our citizens the other evening.
1t was recalled that at the last encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Republic
there was adopted a Recommendation that
the children of the public schools be
taught military tactics, so that in case
the rising generation of the land should
be called upon TO defend the country with
force of arms the young blood will have
some idea Of the tactics required.
Hon. Patrick Conry, president Of the
School Board, said the other evening tl at
he was in favor of the idea. He thought
that by the tactics the children would not
only acquire the healthful exercises which
is derived from the present system of cal
isthenics, but they would also secure the
great advantage of a military training
which might some day be put to very
good practical use.

A prominent Democrat of this county
who is credited with possessing good
sense and with being level-headed bust
ness man as well as a close observer of
county and state politics. expresses the
opinion that James b. Reilly will not go
back to Congress again unless the Repub-
licans make an indiscreet nomination.
As to the Senatorship he thinks King will
lead the Democrats and that Coyle is the
only man the Republicans can put up
with a chance Of beating the eN Senator.
He says the Republicans will receive this
year votes they could not claim before,
on account ct the tariff question; and
that the only su. .vation left for the Demo
cratic party is to hurry up its Congress
and end the time killing debates on the
the tariff question by ssng some bill.
The longer Congress remains in session
the worse the chances Of the Democratic
party becomes, he thinks.
