THE Dives DOOMED.
Aldermen Declare Themselves
Against Licensing Them at
Last Nights Meeting
New Dog Law.

The applications Of the music hall dens
were read at the meeting of the Board OF
Aldermen, held last night. The petition OF
c., to open a new concert garden, to be run
the same as the old ]. l. c., was accompanied
by a letter, in which a number of persons
vouched for the excellent character of the
place and asked that it be granted a license.
John Edelstein, Albert DATE, A. w. Sinclair,
Henry Ives and E. T. Mclaughlin signed it.
A very noticeable feature of the petition
was that John Edelstein's name was signed
twice, and the signatures were as unlike as
anything could possibly be. The application
and the petition were referred to the Excise
Committee.
Louis Beers new application to sell liquor
in the Tivoli or Central Theatre was accom-
panied by an appeal signed by twenty peo-
pie of no prominence who asked that he be
allowed to sell liquor because he had invested
his money in the place. Christian Meiser's
application was accompanied by a similar
petition signed by about one hundred per-
sons. The papers were all referred to the
Excise Committee.
NO LICENSE FOR DIVES.
"We have acted upon the applications of
these men once" said Alderman Martin,
Chairman of the Excise Committee, land l
do not propose considering them again.
They will never get licenses to sell liquors in
those places if my vote will stop it."
Aldermen Dusenberry and Mitchell ex-
pressed themselves similarly. Their decision
doolns the dens as they cannot be run to ad-
vantage by the sale of soft stuff.
The petition of John J McHugh to open a
saloon at No. 342 Varick staeet, which is the
same building at Wayne and Varick streets,
owned by 2. A. Somers, to which the Board
refused to grant IA license in the name of
Fred Schroepfer, was reported adversely
upon. The exclusive statement in TIE JER-
e CITY News that McHugh was trying to
play q sharp trick on the demonstrating resi-
dents OF Wayne street, put them on their
guard, and was the means of defeating the
tricky application.
ovER o ORDINANCE.
Thirty-six licenses were granted. A re-
citation, asking that all peddlers be compelled
to wear badges, for the purpose of
putting IN end to peddlers skipping off
with purchasers money, and not
returning with the change was disapproved
of and not granted. Alderman Mitchelrs
dog pound ordinance authorizing the Board
of Health to license every dog in the city
and collect q fee of 81 was passed. Alder
man Mccarthy opposed it on the ground
that it was illegal. The Alderman had an
ordinance before the board placing the dog
pound in charge of the S. P. G. A., of which
ne is president.
Police Commissioner Feeney was present
at the meeting and turned the four Demo
carried the day by a vote of eight to four.
Alderman Mccarthy announced that the
counsel Of the s.. P. c.. A. would contest the
lapalitV of the ordinance at once
