AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Refusal to Grant Liquor License and a
MandamuS Issued to Require It.

Some interest has been excited here by a
proceeding in the Circuit Court growing out
of the dismassal by Chief Judge Roberts of
an application for license to sell liquor under
the law of 1894, Chapter 6. This law, which
applies to Carroll county only, requires every
application for license to be signed by at
least nine reputable freeholders residing in
the neighborhood where the liquor is to be
sold. In June last Walter McCrea, of Refs
Warren l.. Shipley, in Gambler, and on Aug
ust 81 applied for hotel liquor license The
application was signed by eleven male resi-
dents over twenty-five years of age, six of
whom reside in Gambler and five within ra-
dius of a mile and a-half of the village.
On September IA protest was filed by
residents of Gambler against the application.
Want of knowledge of the character of the
applicant by some of the signers was averred.
and lack of other qualifications on the part
of others. The good character of Mr.. Nc
Crea was proved and admitted, but Judge
Roberts, before whom the matter was heard
on October 3, for reasons which he did not
assign, dismissed the application.
Messrs. Bond and Parke, counsel for Nc
Crea, have filed petition to Associate
Judges Jones and Revell, of the same circuit,
praying mandamus to compel Judge Rob.
erts to direct the clerk of the Circuit Court to
issue the license upon the original applica-
ton. The petition alleges that the dismissal
of the application was illegal, arbitrary and
unjust, and that McCrea had complied with
all the requirements of law.
Judges Jones and Revell have passed an
order requiring Judge Roberts to show cause
Oh or before November IA, why the writ of
mandamus shall not be issued as prayed.
The interest of court circles in the matter is
very great.

A Musical Social at Reese.

Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon Reese gave musical
social to number of their many friends at
their home on Wednesday evening, October
10Th, in homer of their friend and guest, Miss
Katie Dodd Smith, of Chestertown, Kent
county, Nd, who is spending few weeks at
their hospitable home. Owing to the inclem :
eney of the weather on that evening, all of
the expected guests did not arrive. but a
goodly number were present. Among whom
were Misses Emma and Mamie Eckenrode,
Ida Green, Messrs. Edgar Caple, Howard
Green, Edward Green. Napoleon Taylor; of
Reese; Miss Jennie Herring, of Sandyville;
Finksburg; Mr. Geo. H. Caple and Mrs VIM.

Messrs. Guy Fringer, William D. Reese,
Eugene Reese, Charles Brown and Howard
Brown, of Westminster; Miss Edith Long. of
Columbus, Ohio; Misses Katie Eckenrode,
Rosa Dodson, of Emmittsburg, and Miss
Nellie Stull, of Wesley. Quite an enjoyable
evening was spent by all. Games, vocal and
instrumental music enlivened the occasion.
All kinds of musical instruments were per-
formed upon, viz, piano. violins, guitars,
harmonious, zithers, banjos and mandoins.
with songs and accompaniment, which added
much to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Special mention is due Mr.. VIM. D. Reese
and Miss Ida F. Lockard, of Westminster,
for the rendition of some very fine selections
on violin and piano.
Between the hours of 11.30 and 1890
o'clock, the guests were ushered to another
apartment for refreshments where Mrs. Reese
awaited them with table laden with the deli
cacies of the season, to which ample justice
was done. After another short series of nv
steal strains. ending with Home, Sweet Home
variations. the guests departed for their
homes, extending many congratulations to
host and hostess for the enjoyable evening.
