referred to the fact that the court had at
the last term abrogated its rule with refer
ence to granting more than one license III
place, having given an additional house
at Bridgeboro'
The court replied to this latter point
that the rule was not that no new license
should be granted, but that such action
would be taken as might be shown to be
necessary. II special reasons existed why
an additional license should be granted
there would be no objections.
| w. A. Barrows, for Burke, said state
ment of counsel unsupported by affidavit
or evidence, was of no value. Mr.. Antrim
had made assertions in favor of his client,
and derogatory to Burke, and there
should be chance to be heard on testi-
mony.
Mr.. Antrim said the papers filed
showed sufficient reasons for both cases.
Judge Gaskill said the court had
reached a conclusion. They had been
comforting on the point whether it was
necessary to hear proof in support of
Moore's application. License matters at
| Florence had been before the court 80
j frequently and had been SO thoroughly
discussed as to leave no doubt that no
new light was needed. Mr.. Moore's ap-
| plication would be refused.
Henry H. Smiths application for license
at Riverside, was refused. This case was
before the court term or two ago, and
there is nothing now to change the de-
cision then rendered.
John Barrett, who wante to sell by
wholesale at the old toll house between
Columbus and Mansfield, was called be-
fore the court and after a few questions
showed that the neighborhood was amply

]. Holmes Longstreet applied for license
to sell malt liquors at the Fair Grounds.
Mr.. Sooy asked that he might be heard in
opposition. The case was laid over.

The application for license to sell beer
on the fair grounds is in the name of j. |
Holmes Longstreet, one of the directors

On motion in contested license case,
on Saturday, Judge Gaskill stated that
hereafter where hotels had been licensed,
and there were circumstances against re-
newals, evidence would not be required |
to show the necessity for the place. That |
would be taken for granted from the fact |
that license had once been given.
The Clymer murder case has been set
down for trial to-day. G. E. Hendrickson
and M. E. Matlack will represent the de-
PENDANT. Mr.. Hendrickson applied for and
was granted, last Tuesday, an order for

know it, and much money, put merely in
a sordid sense, can be saved to the taxpay-
ers by the formaflegal abolition of capital
punishment. But while the death penalty
is on the statutes it should be promptly
administered, lest the thing become
screaming farce, and respect for all law
become weakened.
Bessie Glenn, the faith curist, was in
dicted by the grand jury. The law under
which this action was taken provides for
the punishment of persons who practice
medicine without a proper diploma and
makes especial mention of christian
science" people, faith curists," and the
like. This case will attract considerable
attention. However it may result, the fact
is clearly shown that the grand juries of
Burlington county are not willing that any
fanaticism shall be allowed foothold in
our midst if it entails the sacrifice of
human lives
