Newport News. Va. April 2l.--The re-
tail liquor license in this city will be
raised no. less than 500 per license by
May 1st.
This statement is made upon excel
lent authority, and events will confirm
1t.
There are now in the city something
like hundred saloons. lacking a few.
and those who have straight licenses
pay for ;hem only $3.50 a year to the
city. The state license amounts to
500. The council will increase the city
licenses to $3.50, which is believed by
those who have the matter in charge
10 be reasonable enough.
The LIQUOR men. Of course. are vicor-
ously opposed TO the increase. and some
OF item say they are making no money
aG it is now. Whether this be true or
not, they seem To like this city mighty
well. and there is an unusual number
OF them here 10 outward seeming
they appear to be iourishne as the
green bay tree. Some Of them, il ia
charged. are not any too particular
either about close observance of
hours. and in this way. many an extr,
dollar is dumped into their Golfers.
AS 10 the proposition of the Newport
News Liquor Dealers Association 10
have nothing but straight licenses here
after, abolishing the malt licenses
there is reason To believe that il win
go through. II is stated that much H.
quor is Sold under tho malt license.
that is prohibited by law from being
sold Hereunder. and there is apna.
rently no other way of stopping tho
nuisance than the one suggested. The
way it will be done. if i; is done. will,
be simply to charge the same price for
all licenses, and under them Il man can
sell any sort of liquor.
In granting licenses this term of the
court, Judge Barham has taken occa-
SION to inform those who have obtained
them that they will have to pay the
increase should the council decide to
adopt one. and that any payment made
at this time would be considered merely
an ADVANCE on the whole license fee as
the city might fix il.

THE AMHERST EEUD,

MIR. PARR DIES FROM EFFECTS
OF HIS WOUNDS.
Lynchburg. Va, April 2l.-Mr. John
II. Parr. who was shot by Sheriff j. L.
Beard. ut Amherst Courthouse, on
Tuesday. died to-day. Mr.. Parr was a
gallant Confederate soldier. and served
during the civil war as adjutant of the
Seventh Virginia Regiment, command
ed by General Kempcr. The condition Of
Sheriff Beard, who received two wounds
in the encounter With Mr.. Parr, is very
favorable, and he will recover. The
greatest excitement is said to still pre-
vail at Amherst. and much bitterness is
shown by the factions. which were led
by Mr. Parr and Sheriff Beard. Both
gentlemen affiliated with the Demo-
cratic party, and politics was at the
bottom of the trouble.
