He got his License.

George Doberneck, Of Indiana
county, applied for brewery license
and was refused He took his case
to the Superior Court and that body
granted him his license. The Court
holds: "lt is well settled that the dis
cretion vested in the Court ofQuarter
Sessions under the Act of July 9, 1891
to grant or refuse licenses for the sale
of vinous and spurious, malt or brewed
liquors by wholesale, will not justify
the arbitrary grant or refusal of such
license, but that it is a judicial discre-
ton to be exercised for legal reasons
and in a judicial manner. How far
such discretion, when exercised in
reference to cases such as the one at
the bar, is renewable, is clearly stated
in the lucid opinion of Justice Mitchell
in the recent case of Mark Gama's
appeal, 100 Pennsylvania State Re-
ports, page 43, from which it appears
that there must be judicial hearing
and that if the license is refused the
refusal must be for legal reason,"-

Selecting a Bishop.

More than thousond members OF
the Mennonite church gathered at
Lititz, Lancanter county, last week
to select a Bishop. This is done in a
peculiar manner, the clergymen and
bishops being chosen by lot. In this
case there was a vacancy in the office
of Bishop in the Hammer Greek dis
trict ard there were three candidates
for it. After lengthy religious services,
three Bibles were placed on the pull
pit. In one was slip of paper and
the candidate drawing that book is
declared to be the Bishop The
choice fell on Rev. Christian Riser,
and he was then installed into the
high office.

Got the Clothes, But Lost the Bride.

The course of true love does not
run smooth among the Polish popula-
ton at Mocanaqua. A young man,
whose name we could not spell if we
knew it had made all the preliminary
arrangements for his marriage with a
Polish girl Of sixteen. The wedding
day was set for Monday. A side of
beef had been ordered of Mr.. Bens.
coter and to wash it down forty
dollars worth of beer had been en-
gagged. The groom, as is the custom
among these people, had furnished
the bride with her rrosseau. After
receiving the outfit she changed her
mind and on Friday ran away leaving
the groom IN utter dismay. He deter
mined not to be beaten and learning
that she was at Nanticoke went up
Saturday afternoon. Finding her with
the wedding clothes on, he proceeded
to strip her on the spot. He did not
regard the job complete until he had
secured all that had been given her
even to the shoes and stockings. The
girl was left with less clothing than a
ballet dancer and had she not been
among friends would have been in a
sorry plight. The young man return
ed to Mocanaqua Saturday night with
big bundle of the hnery under each
arm. AS soon as he finds some one
to fit the clothes the wedding festivi
ties will proceed.-Mouatdin Echo.

Denver; Michael Peabody, ex-superin-

discovery and development of the
Cripple Creek mines. They have been
at this thing for the last six months"
According to the statements concern
ing this strike in WestcheSter county
the richest find on the reef is along
the beautiful Nepehan river" Anyone
who has been to Yonkers knows the
Nepe1an. It trickles down from the
hill side, roams through meadow land
and woods, and then winds it way
through Yonkers. where it becomes by
unromantic usage a sewer of unusual
proportions. Heretofore the only gold
ever known to be worked near it was
in the form of bricks inclosed in car
pet bags. This form of the gold in
dustry had been quite profitable there,
according to the testimony of George
Apo, the bunco expert, before the
LeXoW committee.
1t is true, however, that options have
been asked on lands bordering upon
the Nepehan and in Unionville, and if
the young lawyers company is look
ing for gold, it will explain a large
mystery to the people of Yonkers.
Many of them declare that men with
hammers and leather bags have been

were furious. Now one of them in the

HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

In one of the leading hotels last
evening a group of "bell-hops" were
having an animated conversation, and
the Corridor man moved closer to
ascertain the cause of their confab.
The boys were discussing the people
who gave the best tips, poor tips, and
no tips at all. and the conversation
would bring out many a happy smile
and many a look of disgust. One young
man said: tThere's that old bloke in
At; he wouldn't give a fellow the glad
hand if he had to. and I am always
busy when he presses the button.
"Then there's that fly duck in 80;
the smallest he tossed at me was a
four-bit piece. [ tell you, fellows, he's
all right The old girl in 81 is all
right, too; but that maiden lady with
the plastered beau catchers in los is a
terror" Here the bell rang and the
speaker looked around.
Ninety; you take it, Shorty.
"Take it yourself" the smaller boy
retorted. and the dispute kept up until
a scowl from the clerk sent one of
them on the fly, doubtless to a room
where the tipping was minus guam
tity.
A few moments later "A fell down
on the big register, and no less than
three hops" started at once to answer
a summons from man who knew
what it was to stand in with the bell
boys.
It's the same way in every hotel; its
the same way with the world. 1t
waits on the man with the glad hand
and who has, hidden away somewhere,

The NIERCUR RAILROAD.
The Little Road in Fine shape and
Making Money.

One of the great factors in the up
building of the district, says the Mer-
cur Mercury, has been the Salt Lake
and Mercur railroad and it is an enter
prise of which the people of the camp
are justly proud When the matter
he met with encouragement on every
hand. Railroad men told him that on
account of steep ascent and sharp
curves it would be impossible to oper-
ate the road u hen finished The people
of the camp had an idea that enough
money could not be secured to make it
more than a Jim Crow affair at best.
and gave the promoter of the sky
route very cold comfort, in the way of
announcement. But he pushed steadi-
ly ahead, and built the road. Part of
it was q little rocky but as soon as
completed the ore train went to work.
A corps of the best practical, good
natured. accommodating railroad men
to operate the line-of whom George
Green and w. w. Bentley were the
pioneers, he commenced TO improve the
road. As soon as there were any earn
ings to spend, he laid new iron, bought
new engine and cars, and new coach,
and the road is now in fine shape, MAX
ing big money and improving every
day. During its construction and
operation to date not a man has been
killed or seriously injured. We believe
that Manager Jacobs is deserving of
great credit, and that his road should
receive all the patronage that the peo-
pie of the camp can give it.
