The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-03-18

The judges yesterday handed down
their decision with reference to the
granting of licenses and while, as 4
whole the court was somewhat more
liberal than in past years, entire satis-
faction was not given in the distribu-
tion of licenses.
William Deckelnick, of the Fifth
ward. was granted license after many
refusals in the past. James Kelly was
also granted a license in the Thir-
teenth ward. For several years the
court has refused to Incense the place
John j. Martin, of the First ward, was
also successful after several refusals.
James Kearney, of the Fifth ward,
had his application refused, as he had
for the last five years. The applicl-
tion of G.. Theodore Morris for The
Hub" on Spruce street, was also re-
fused, the court making no comment
OF any kind in making known its de-
cision. The application of Julius
Egreszky against which the people Of
Blakely filed a protest, was refused.
When court refused to grant a license
to Edwin Banfield, on Chestnut street,
Dunmore, Attorney +. G. Newcomb en-
deaVOred to secure a rehearing of The
case, but was not successful He said
the place had been licensed for years
and there was no objection to it save
that it adjoined the post office. Judge
Archibald remarked that the odd Fell
lows, who own the adjoining property,
also made vigorous protest, but Mr..
Newcomb said that inasmuch as this
was not alleged in the remonstraEce
he did not think they were expected
to meet it. Court refused to grant a
rehearing.
THE CONWAY LICENSE.
When the application of p. j. Com
way for a license in the Ninth ward
was granted, Judge Edwards said after
reviewing the case thoroughly, colrt
had decided to grant the license this
year, but that if anything more was
heard about violation of the law, that
court would not hesitate to revoke the
license or refuse it another year.
He called attention to the evidence
which had been heard on the remOn-
STRANGE and said that it had been rath-
er strong, but that Mr.. Conway had
swore that If any liquor had been sold
to minors or on Sunday that he had
not been aware of IT.
When Judge Edwards had finished,
Judge Archabld remarked that he
would have to dissent from the action
of court, as he could never agree to
the granting of the license, when it
had been so clearly shown that the ap-
plicant had fractured the laws in sew
eral instances. Following are the ap-
