A LUCKY PETITIONER.
THE POLICE COMMISSION GRANTS
A SALOON LICENSE.
Commissioner BosbysheIt Obj jsctsd.
Chief Glass Wants q New Jail.
Applications for Saloon
Licenses.

The police commission held its regula.
meeting at 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. Commissioner Bradish was absent.
The granting of a liquor license. to
which Commissioner Bosbyshell strenu.
ously objected, and revival of the
foul condition of the city Jail. were the
most important items OF interest acted
upon.
The first business to come before the
commission was the reading OF the
protest against the granting of a saloon
and wholesale liquor license at 146
North Spring street, the applicant being
Herman Markwalder. Commissioner r
Bosbyshell was inclined to oppose the
granting of the license, while the
mayor and Commissioner Arnold
did not enter any objection to
the petition. Mr.. Bosbyshell said the
other two mem bers should not force the
license through, and wanted it contin.
ued until the next session. when Com
missioner Brsdish could be present.
His objection was that the protest was
signed by too many business men and
property owners in the vicinity. An
other bone of contention was that one
or two OF the eigners TO the protest had
Withdrawn, which put different az pect.
Mr.. Arnold moved that the application
be granted on the original petition. but
Mr.. Bosbyshell said action had to be
taken on the new application. The
license WAS finally granted, Mr.. Bosby-
shell alone voting no.
Mayor Rowan and Chief Glass were
appointed committee to look after the
raward and pension fund, as it is ques-
tion whether special officers should be
assessed the same as regular officers.
Chief Glass called the attention of the
commission to the condition of the city
prison, especially the cbAingang cell.
HI said it was foul. and that it was pos
itively cruel and inhumsn to confine
prieoners in such place.
The chief was instructed to prepare q
report showing the needs of the Jail and
send it in at the next session of the COM
mission.
The report OF the chief for the month
OF October showed total of 517 arrests
and All convictions, and the sum OF 1853
in fines ard forfeitures paid into the po-
lice courts.
