Tho Miller License Case.
The peculiar course adopted by the
License Commissioners in regard to the
application of Harry Miller for license on
Dexter street is causing considerable i'll
feeling among Mr.. Miller's friends in that
locality, and from the mutterings heard
there will be large falling off in the Re-
publican vote in that ward at the next
election. License Commissioner Gooding
denied that he said that Mr.. Miller was
not fit person to have license. Not
withstanding this denial Mr.. Gooding
made the statement in the presence of two
newspaper men.
Furthermore he told the same reporters
that he never encouraged Mr.. Miller to go
on and fit up his shop. Mr.. Miller stated
last evening to the same newspaper men
that when he made his application he
asked Mr.. Gooding IL he would commence
to fix up his shop, he, Mr.. Gooding, said,
"As far as am concerned you can, guess
it will be all right" On the strength OF
this conversation Mr.. Miller began to fix
up his shop. Furthermore Mr.. Miller
stated that there were other things con-
nected with it which looked peculiar to
him. When he made the application he
asked Mr.. Gooding when it would be in
the paper and Mr. Gooding replied that it
would be in the next night.
Tho annIipatiOn did not anDpnr that
night nor the next night aud Mr.. Miller
visited him again, and Mr.. Gooding told
him that he spoke to President Sloan and
that they were expecting another app1ica-
tion and 1t would surely be in the next
night. 1t did not appear and Mr.. Miller
again called upon him, and that time Mr..
Goodng told him he did not intend to put
in any more applications until the Board
had acted upon them. The following
night, however, three new applications
appeared in the paper, yet the Board had
not met to authorize Mr.. Gooding to ad-
vertise them.
In view of these facts, Mr.. Miller believes
that he has been the victim of some under
handed chicanery, and proposes to show
the License Commissioners up. The build
ing, which Mr.. Gooding said is not fit to
long, inside measurement, and taking out
the office space leaves room for a Is foot
bar. Mr.. Miller further stated that he did
not intend to run "free and easy joint
with piano and pool table additions.
There are at least three or four shops in the
city smaller than this one, to which the
Board has granted licenses.
Mr.. Miller is perfectly satisfied that it is
q, - ha hrxN hot hoo ho
trouble, but other influences which have
been brought to bear upon the Board.
An Ordinance Needed.
The necessity for an ordinance govern
ing the matter of dumping night soil pro-
miscuously about the city is made appar-
ent nearly every night. No later than Sat-
urday night q certain collector OF night
soil dumped load of this stuff on land on
Clifton street. AS there is no ordinance
covering this matter il would be needless
expense for the police to arrest anybody
and try to convict them.
In the Tolls of the Law.
Two prominent young men had the
pleasure of spending the night at the police
station last evening. Yesterday afternoon
they were arrested by Special Officers I'll
Iinghast and Payne of LIMERICK, for tres
passing. One OF the young men in ques-
tion has a penchant for collecting birds
eggs, and yesterday in company with a
friend they determined to scour the
country districts for some choice speci-
mems. Their wanderings brought them to
LIMERICK, and it was while in search of
eggs on the land belonging to the Sayles'
estate that they fell into the hands of the
LIMERICK Vidocs. The two young men
had bicycles with them, but these were re-
tained in LIMERICK, while the owners were
brought to this city for safe keeping. The
young men were liberated at 80 O'Clock
this afternoon by Officer Tillinghast.
Made Use of the Team.
Saturday afternoon Officer Coombs saw
two men on Dexter street pretty well un-
der the influence of liquor. One of them
was lying upon the ground and the other
was braced against a nearby post. He
placed both men under arrest and stopped
a passing express team in order to have
them carried to the police station. On
the way to the station both men fought
fiercely, and the officer was kept on the
Jump to manage them. One of the fell
lows kicked hole through the bottom Of
Officer Coombs' foot slipped through,
scraping the skin off the limb and slightly
wrenching his hip.
This morning they were fined q and
costs each, and the one that made the
most trouble was taxed S2 more for the
team. He held quite an argument, think
ing that the other fellow ought to pay tor
his ride, too.
illustrated Lecture.
A good attendance was present last even
ing at the illustrated lecture delivered by
L. 8. Jackman of Brown University at the
Broad Street Baptist Church. His SUBJ
joct was "Chinatown and the Scenes Of
New York City" The lecture was illus
trated by seventy-five stereopticon views.
