A Fight over the Question of Grant
Ing N saloon License.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA. June 20
Special "A case In the Circuit Court
that is exciting a great deal OF interest
is the application Of Colonel Charles
Euker, of Richmond for license TO
conduct a saloon at the corner OF Wash
ington avenue and Thirty-first street.. III
has been the unwritten law that no sa-
loon should be established In this section
OF the city. A short time ago MT. X.
]. Mackey. one OF the best-known saloon
keepers in the city, made move
to test this unwritten law by applying
for a license to sell liquor at the corner
of Twenty-fifth street and Washington ave-
nue., which is within short distance
of the Methodist and Episcopal churches.
His application was vigorously opposed
BY number OF property-owners ada
cent to the site on which he desires TO
locate, and by several ministers and we'll
known members of the churches named.
ON the other hand, several gentlemen
doing business near the site testified TO
their belief that IL was a eft and con-
venient" place for the business. Judge
Hanckel. who heard the case, granted the
application, but an appeal has been
taken.
Colonel Euker is represented by At
torneys Wilcox & Semmes, of this city,
and those opposed to granting the license
are represented by Colonel r. i. Boy
kin. No objection whatever Is raised TO
Colonel Euker himself. the fight being
on the question whether or not the
site he has selected is a fit and convenient
place for a saloon.
The Cromwell steamship. now in course
of construction at the ship-yard, will be
launched in the early part of next month.
This vessel will run between New York
and New Orleans. in the passenger and

DEATH OF MIR. JOHN II. GILLIAN.
Another One of BuclSingham's Aged
Citizens Passes Away.

Correspondence of the Dispatch.)
NEW STORE. VA. June 19.-This
morning, just at sunrise, Mr.. John r.
Gillian, one Of the most respected citi-
Gems of this county. passed to the great
Beyond. His death was not unexpected,
owing TO his recent severe illness, and
his great age. All medical skill proved
futile, and he succumbed TO the inevitable.
thus ending a long and useful life.
Mr.. Gillian was born in buckingham
county, Va. on May T. 1897 and was
consequently In his Goth year. Here at
his home, "Osceola" he had lived and
labored all these years. His chosen vo-
, cation was that of farmer-a vocation
IN which he was eminently successful
For the past fifty years Mr. Gillian had
been an elder in the New Store Presby-
terrain church, of which during his life,
Rev. John II. Bocock. Rev. Jesse Armis-
tead. Rev. J. II. Fitzgerald. DIR. r. l.,
Dabney. DIR. Stoddard. and long line
of other great and good men had been
pastors. Here, having the love and es-
teen OF these eminent divines, he full
flled the solemn duties of his office as a
true man OF God. Strong of character,
vigorous OF mind, and gentle of spirit.
he was never known 10 shirk duty or
TO fail TO aid a neighbor in distress. IL
can be truly said of him that the naked
never left his door unclothed. nor the
hungry unfed. His great stature vigor-
Gus and strong to the last, was symbol
of the beautiful spirit that dwelt within.
The same strong master hand that ruled
the field was so gentle, so kind that II
did not scorn TO reach down 10 the gut
ter IL need be. and help a fallen brother
rise. IL is no wonder that men loved
such man; II is no wonder that his
friends and neighbors fiocked TO the old
home, Offering their services-willing to
do anything for their old friend; Il is
no wonder that the servants OF the house
hold would steal TO his bedside during
his last hours. and jealousy watch over
his helpless form. Men Will love virtue
and the virtuous.
Mr.. Gillian leaves a wife and one son,
MIR. Marshall NJ. Gillian. a noted at
torney at law, OF Richmond. who, with
his son, Hoge, was at his fathers bed
side during part of his last Illness, and
with MIN when he died.
The body win be laid to rest at 10 o'clock
tomorrow Saturday morning at the old
