The Republican Aldermen were to have
taken up the question Of granting a
license to Edward Trembly to operate
a saloon in Bamber Hall. formerly the
edifice of the Linden Avenue Methodist
Chuch. last night. Trembly's original
application was beaten by the efforts of
the respectable element of Greenville.
Last night it was proposed to reconsider
the vote by which the application was
beaten. To do this a motion to that
effect had to come from a membe who
had voted against the application.
Trembly's friends claimed that they had
the man and they were jubilant. AS the
time arrived for the meeting to be held
the Tremblyites became nervous and
called a caucus

better element and property owners of
Greenville was a move hat demanded
consideration. The caucus lasted an
hour and at its conclusion Alderman
Witter, chairman of the excise COM
mittee, rushed up stairs as mad as a
hornet. 1t soon became known that the
Alderman had refused to vote to recon-
slider the resolution knocking Trembly
out. All the arguments advanced by
Trembly's friends We're upset in short
order by the supporters of decency. The
idea of bringing the case up for dis
cussion was finally abandoned.
President Simpson put a nail in the
Trembly coffin by securing the passage
of a resolution ordering the applicants

Alderman Witter opposed the resolu-
ton. He still insists that there will be
a saloon in Bamber Hall. He does not
care apparently whether the saloon is
opened ON the altar of the old place of
worship or out in the centre of the

Just previous to adjournment Alderman
Calnon moved that the Board meet again
ported that an application for a saloon
in the old church is to be made under
some other name than Trembly's. The
friends of the latter are on the lookout
for the application and his opponents are
watching for just SUCH a trick. That
some trick is in the wind was proved al
most ~concluSively when the motion was
made to meet next Tuesday evening.

ANY man who has ever had a license,
explained President Simpson, can con

his application. OF course where appll-

meeting next week; no one will be made
