a letter was received from Judge
Murphy stating that he was sick and
unable to be present, and that he was
personally acquainted with all the new
applicants from Centralia and that
they were all highly respectable men.
The first case called was that of
Joseph Kalwich, who applied for a
restaurant license at Centralia. The
applicant is naturalized Pole and
the interpreter of the court
The necessity for the place, and
character Of the applicant was vouch-
ed for by James Haggerty, Mr.. Flynn,
Freas Yeager and others.
The application of Cole and Brown
for Restaurant license at Coles Creek
was supported by John Harrington,
W. c. Babb, Albert Cole, w. M.
Hartman, +. ]. Albertson and f. P.
Hartman. The evidence substantially
was that the house was necessary be.
cause there was no public house be.
tween Benton and Jamison City.
That they were men of good moral
character. The applicants who have
also filed petition for a distillers
license stated that If they secured
this, they would withdraw the distilers
application and agreed neither to
keep, nor sell liquor at the distillery
during the coming year.
In the case of Samuel Fegley who
applied for hotel license at Rotrs.
burg the necessity for the house was
testified to by William Stackhouse,
Augustus Stadder, David Force, Har-
man Bright, and the good character of
the applicant by Charles f. Randall,
George Reifensnyder, o. d. J.. Kos
tenbauder and Adam Truckenmiller
who testified that they had known
him many years. That he had been
in the hotel business at Catawissa and
had conducted a good house.
The testimony on the applications
of John P. Loughlin and Daniel
Morris was substantially the same as
given in the former cases and they
together with all the other applicants
excepting ]. R. Fowler, J. l.. Girton
and Harvey Deiterich which were
continued until Monday, were granted
license.
The Court stated that these two
! applications would have to be heard
by full bench and the consideration
of them was postponed until Monday
January 27th 1896 at 9 o'clock A. M.
at which time it was to be hoped
that Judge Murphy would be present
The application of William Kline
for hotel license at Benton was coz
tinued until Saturday, February 18th,
owing to the hotel being burned.

word "go." Let the lawyers and
doctors and editors and business men
inaugurate the work. Let them take
the Offices. Let them dictate the
policy. So long as it is an honest
effort to make the saloon obey the
law, there is a host of true men to
stand behind the leaders, whoever
they may be. Do it now. If, as you
say, the saloon is beginning here, as
it does wherever it dares, to show its
teeth in defiance of the law, get your
good hands upon its throat, citizens
of Bloomsburg, and get them there
quick, and let them rest there with
no maiden's touch. / cordially invite
the writer of the article of last week
to organize such movement as he
advocates, or to see that it is done by
others of sour leading business men,"
The criticism and the suggestion
must have been sincere, and if SO, it
is certainly right to hope that this
better way will be promptly tried by
one who has publicly proposed it.
The supporters of his plan are ready
by scores.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Three Buildings Burned at Benton Early
Friday Morning. II Looked As Though
the Town Was Doomed.

The citizens residing at Benton in
the Northern part of this County were
awakened from their sleep about 4:45
O'Clock last Friday morning by hear.
ing the cry of Fire Fire Fire and
investigation proved that the Nc
Henry house, large two story frame
building was in flames. The fire which
is supposed to be of an incendiary
origin, started at the back OF the build
ing and burned on the outside to the
roof, before it broke through to the
inside and was discovered. At this
time the flames enveloped the build
ing from the top to the bottom and
it was apparent that it could not be
saved, and the efforts of those present
were directed toward saving the ad-
joining property and their contents
For nearly two hours they worked as
only men can work when their whole
town is threatened with destruction
and only ceased their arduous labors
when the fire was under control. A
view of the burned district showed
that in addition to the hotel and all
its contents the two story frame house
OF Mrs. Olive Hess, large three
story building belonging to the estate
OF L. c. McHenry deceased, and oc-
cupied by Max Mamelin as clothing
store, and o. E. Sutton as a con,
fectioner, was burned, and the house
of William Appleman badly damaged
by fire and water. The entire stock
of clothing of Mr.. Mamelin was de.
stroyed, as was also pocket book
containing sixty dollars. Some of
the furniture of o. K. Sutton, and
William Kline who leased the Nc
Henry house, was saved, but badly
damaged. The McHenry house cost
$1,000 and was owned by J. B. Nc
Henry, Sheriff, and the estate of +,
c. McHenry upon which there was
an insurance of only $4,000. The
loss on the furniture which the Sheriff
sold about one year ago will also fall
upon him. The fire was so intense
that the windows in the store of ]. J.
McHenry on the opposite side of the
street were broken, and his goods
damaged by water. Fortunately
there was no wind blowing, and this
saved the town from entire destruc-
ton.

We publish in this issue a synopsis
Of the discourse delivered by Rev. G..
f. Weeks in the Baptist church last
Sunday evening, giving him the full
benefit of his comments on our article
Of last week on the license question.
We have no controversy with Mr..
Weeks, nor any other gentlemen con-
nected with the movement against
licenses. We were not informed of
the names of those who caused the
publication of signers in the DAILY,
and had no knowledge of the fact that
the clergymen had caused it to be
done. Our only information was that
it was procured by somebody, and
that it was paid for as an advertise
ment. In our opinion, and we pre-
sumo we may be permitted to have
an opinion, even though Mr. Weeks
questions its sincerity, and honesty
the publication of these names, after
all the harm had been done, accom-
plished no good results If public
notice had been given before any
petitions had been signed, that the
names of all petitioners and bonds
men would be published, no one
could have complained when they
saw their names in print, and the
results expected could have been
reached this year, instead of waiting
for them year longer. If that opin-
ion is erroneous, we have not yet been
convinced of it. In all reform move
ments the pulpit and the press should
join hands. They are the two most
powerful influences in moulding public
sentiment. But if the pulpit desires
the cooperation Of the press, it ought
not to question its sincerity, even
though they may differ as to meth DDS.

A spectacular production of great
magnifcence in gigantic proportions
will be the attraction at the Opera
House, Friday, Jan. 24th, when the
famous "Black Crook" will be present
ed. Replete with all the many
characteristics of its successful New
England tour of last spring. The
engagement promises in every way to
be the red letter event at the Opera
House this season, The performance
will introduce many clever entertain
ers, the gorgeous ballets calling for
the services Of three premier dancers
of European reputation, and an army
of beautiful coryphees. One of the
bright features is Louise Montrose as
Carline, with her specialties, She
made herself famous in the New York
production of the "Black Crook" !"
The visit of the "Black Crook" to
this city will in all likelihood result in
overhowing audiences, as it is seldom
that an opportunity is afforded for
seeing so magnificent production.

REV. WEEKS ON TIE LICENSE
AGITATION

This communication was received
after our report of his sermon was in
type.
EDITOR CoLUMBIAN:
Will you kindly permit me two re.
marks concerning last weeks article
on "The License Agitation"
First-I claim that the present
efforts are eminently right and wise,
and that it is the moral duty of all
good citizens to support them. The
writer says concerning the question
whether there is necessity for any
more licensed houses in Bloomsburg,
that "the duty of informing the court
upon the question is with thecitizens." "
Exactly. And that is just what the
citizens are now doing concerning the
two new licensed houses asked for in
this town. Yet in the very next par
agraph of the article, these same citi-
zens are chided for doing this. 1t is
said that these efforts have been "over
and over again, spasmodic." Certain
ly, has not the court been "over and
over again, spasmodic?" Have not
the petitions for license been "over
and over again, spasmodic2" The
law certainly teaches, and common
sense suggests that the time to agitate
against new licenses, is when they are
asked for and the court is in session.
Does the writer want us to sign re-
monstrances next summer, and lay
them on the court house steps when
nobody is looking'
The Judge distinctly said in court
on Monday concerning new applica-
tions, that where necessity and good
character is declared, and nothing is
presented on the other side, he has
no discretion and the license must
issue. He looks to us for information
and if we are silent, he concludes
that VIC are all agreed. He concludes,
he says he does, that if we do not
speak we want more whiskey. That
is tie reason aohy ne speak. That is
the reason why there ought to be far
more intense agitation, and why all
good citizens ought to be in it. The
law clearly invites it, our own judge
has this week clearly invited it, and
the writer of last week is plainly wrong
in trying to sooth us into silence.
Second-I am delighted with the
suggestion that there should be organ
lied effort for ''the enforcement of
the law as it stands" Just what is
wanted. Let it come at once. l
think l can promise our critic the CO
operation of the "spasmodic" workers
for ffty-two weeks in every year. l
know l can promise the support of at
least six pastors in town from the

will swear that they are necessary.
They certainly don't know what an
oath means when they do it.
The remonstrance is not as
large as it should be. Many refrain
from signing on account of injuring
their business. We ought not to be
afraid of ipjuring our business. This
matter is overestimated." At the
close of his discourse he requested
that the members assist him in paying
the portion which had been assessed
to him, for the purpose Of defraying
the expenses incident to the move.

What He Advocated Refore Joining tha
Money Power Conspiracy.
Henry WatterSon, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal was not always sim
gle gold standard man. Before he en-
tered the money power conspiracy he
and his newspaper we're conspicuous
thorough understanding of the money
question is evidenced by q leading edi-
torial in his paper on August 10, 1856,
in which he laid down the following
seven propositions:
Il. That the decentralization of sil-
yer. which has prevailed for some years
up to this writing, both in the United
States and Europe, has had the effect Of
advancing the value of gold about 40 per
cent.
s2. That this has been accomplished
by depressing the value of all other
property to that extent.
''3. That about 40 per cent, of the
property and producing resources OF
the people have thus been transferred to
comparatively small class of men.
whose stock in trade is gold invest
Inents.
gold has risen, the burden of debt and
taxation has increased; and that in pro-
portion as property and labor have de-
clined, the capacity of the people to pay
their debts and taxes has diminished.
IS. That the silver discount is creat-
ing bonus of more than so per cent
in favor of the farm productions of both
India and Asia, which to that extent
cheapens the wheat. cotton and various
other productions of the United States.
IS. That these lamentable conditions
have been produced by anti-silver leg
islation.
So. That they can be undone and
prosperity be restored by pro-siIver leg
islation."
The Courier-Journal then proceeded
to challenge the metropolitan press to
controvert its propositions, and de-
clared:
"If they cannot controvert either of
these propositions they are obviously
conniving at gigantic fraud. We
challenge the editors of the papers
named, and of any others, to point out a
single flaw or error in any proposition
of the seven; and If this cannot be done,
we ask in the name of the people what
interests they are serving, and what
consideration, in kind and amount, they
are receiving in conniying at the in
iquity. Republican.

If it were true, as they say, that sill
YER has fallen in value because of its
overproduction, how do they account
for the increased value of gold? I will
not go into figures, but anyone can read
lily ascertain what could be bought with
d gold dollar in 1874. There is no ques-
ton that it would buy from two to
