LAW ABOUT EXCEPTIONS,
lis Accepted Interpretations Questioned. 4.
Number Of Additional Objection
Filed with Clerk Daniels.

The law in relation to the filing of
exceptions to the applications for liquor
licenses states that they must be in
the hands of the clerk of the courts
three days before the opening of license
court. License court meets next Mon
day and three days in advance of that
time would be Thursday. according to
the generally accepted calculation. 1t
would seem, however. that this inter
pretation is questioned, for yesterday
there were q number of additional ex-
Ceptions filed.
William Shipper, special officer of the
Sixth ward of Dunmore, through At
tOrney Arthur Dunn, suggested" to
court that the application of j. j.
Dougherty for a license for a hotel at
the corner of Larch street and Jeffer-
son avenue should not be granted, be-
cause the premises in which it is in
tended to locate the hotel are occupied
by five different families; and that the
selling of liquors at that place would
be a danger, a menace and nuisance
to all the inhabitants of the ward.
Charles NJ. Maynard filed objections
to the application of Sylvester Kuhns,
of the Second ward of Scranton, alleg-
ing that Kuhns' building is not of a
proper size for hotel purposes, contain
ing only five small rooms; that the
signers of the petition are residents of
another district of the ward from that
in which the hotel is to be established;
that Adam Splitter, the owner of the
premises, has made application for a
bottler's license in the same ward, and
that the petition is not properly signed
by the sureties.
Exceptions are made to the granting
of a license to j. f. Pedrick, of the
Second ward of Blakely, by Moses
Harvey, j. r. Ellis and George A. Hull
on the ground that John Lewis, one of
the twelve signers of Pedrick's petition
is not reputable, qualified elector OF
said ward.
Rev. T. +. Mayer and Frank HUFF
| ford except to the application of Henry
c. Ayers, of Ransom, on similar
grounds. John Stout is the petitioner
alleged to be not reputable elector OF
the district in question.
In connection with the application of
NJ. Needle, jr.. for a wholesalers license
| for his place on Jones street, Olyphant
| the following communication was filed:
70 the Honorable the Judge of the Court
of Quarter Session of Lackawanna
County:
Having signed a remonstranco against
the granting of a wholesale liquor license
| TO NJ. Needle, jr., of Jones street, bor-
| 1ugh of Olyphant, without having given
the subject due consideration, / most -e-
| spectfully request that my name be

Within a few days the handsome
new building to be occupied by the Ex-
celslor club the city's swell social or
ganization of Jewish people, will be
finished. Two weeks will be required
to furnish the building and 1t will
be occupied on or about April 1. 1t
is situated on Washington avenue,
near Olive street.
The club house is owned by Joseph
Levy and Max Rice and will be rented
to the club. Its style of architecture
is a blending of the colonial and re-
naissance with the more modern kind
and is from the plans of Percival j.
Morris. The structure occupies a
ground space of 36x90 feet and is three
stories in heighth above the basement.
In planning the building 1t has been
arranged so that the first or street
floor containing the dancing hall and
reception parlors can be rented for So
cial purposes and entertainments with
out interfering with the use of the up
stairs apartments and the basement by
| members. Two entrances lead from
the street, one to the first floor and
another, a members entrance, to the
rooms above. The upstairs and street
floor apartments are connected by a
| large doorway opening from the stair
| case or they can be effectively separat-
| ed by sliding doors.
Every facility common to modern
| club house has been provided in the
present case. The basement contains
| a model gymnasium, bowling alley and
wheel room. The public entrance leads
| from a vestibule to a foyer on the left
of which are ladies' and gentlemen s
| dressing and toilet rooms, and on the
right the staircase to the upstairs
| apartments. A short flight of steps
lead down from the foyer to the ball
ROOM the dimensions of which are 35x
| 20 feet.
On the second floor in front are par
lors for ladies and gentlemen, the lat
| ter containing a Turkish corner The
| gentlemen's parlor communicates with
the billiard and pool rooms, the two
latter being separated by an arch OF
| open woodwork. At the rear is a large
| dining room separated by a hallway
| from the card rooms and a kitchen
| Doors from this hallway lead to lava
tories for gentlemen and ladies.
| The third floor contains five rooms
| for the chef, caretakers and servants
and a large room for storage purposes
The interior has been handsomely
| finished. The walls have been tinted
and the ceiling centerpieces and pillar
| caps decorated with stereo-relief work
Polished hardwood floors have beer
laid excepting in the dining, billiard
and pool rooms, where inlaid linoleum
is used.

JIM JUDGE READY.
Party of Callers Yesterday Finds
Him in Splendid Condition.

At his training headquarters in Car
bOndale yesterday, Jim Judge was Civ
en- a surprise visit by a half dozen or
more of his friends from this city.
They returned to Scranton in the af-
ternoon and pronounced Judge as fit
as a fiddle for his 20-round boxing
contest with Frank BARLEY Monday
night.
Judge had just returned from a
three-mle run with Ed Jerome and
was breathing as easily as though he
had been taking a walk for pastime.
His trainer and sparring partner, Bob
by DObbs, gave him a shower bath and
rundown, and while Judge was taking
half-hour's rest before dinner he
chatted with his callers. The Scranton
boy modestly assured his friends that
on Monday night nothing would occur
to break his record as an undefeated
boxer. The statement was seconded in
no uncertain terms by Dobbs
During the afternoon Judge did no
work until about 4 o'clock, when he
exercised with pulley weights and
dumb bells for a half hour and prac-
tically finished his training with three
one-minute rounds with Dobbs. Today
and tomorrow he will run in order to
u
but will make no muscular eXertion
| other than brief exercise with dumb
| bells.
BARLEY will finish his training at
| noon today, and will be in Scranton
with his handlers at 915 o'clock Mon
| day morning. He, as well as Judge,
is about three rounds below the weight
limit, l42 pounds, which means they
| Will weigh nearly that amount at .
O'Clock Monday afternoon.
1t was thought that Tommy Ryan.
| of Philadelphia, had had enough of
| Judge, but the following letter indi-
| Gates otherwise:
| Sporting Editor, The Tribune.
Dear Sir: Will YOU please state i'm your
valuable columns that | would be pleased
| TO box the winner of the Jim Judge Frank
| BARLEY bout which takes place in your
| city next Monday night
! am willing to bet $500 that / am the
| superior boxer of either man. Hoping
| you will grant the above request, am
Yours respectfully,
Tommy Ryan of Philadelphia
Brooklyn, N. Y, March TO- 1893.
1t is not likely that Judge will accept
the challenge, even though he wins.
