LICENSE COURT.
The Girard Estate Again objects to Ii

censes In West Mahanoy.
Judges Bechtel and Marr yesterday heard
applicants for liquor licenses against whom
remonstrauces had been filed, and as result
the court room was crowded.
The licenses of Matthew Arkustitus,
new applicant for an old stand in the First
ward of Mahanoy City was granted and
also the following old stands Andres

Co at Sheppton Evan Evans, 4th ward Of
Mahanoy City Thomas Bowling Bird ward,

George Kashak agent Columbia Brewing
Co., at McAdoo; Mary Stanton, First ward,
OF Shenandoah Ellis Lewis, South ward,
1amaqua.
The Girard Estate still objects to the grant
ing Of licenses to persons holding u lease
from them. This was made plain when p. J.
Ferguson Of Lost Creek, was called yester-
day. He was ore Of many in that township
that were refused licenses last year, and he
said he had sold no liquors during 1898 and
added that, if no licenses were granted,
West Mahanoy township would be filled with
speakeasies. The court stated no complaint
had ever been made against Mr.. Ferguson,
and believed him fit man to hold a license,
but until the Girard Trust declares there
will be no objection TO the granting Of a
limited number Of licenses all applications,
where the applicants are tenants of the es-
tate will he withheld. Louis Bender and
Matthew Dunlap, who were also tenants of
the Girard Estate, were heard and the same
ruling made as in Mr.. FergusOn's case.
The hearing of the exceptions filed against
the retail license Of Joseph II. Nichter, Of
Pottsville. by former Judge r. H. Koch,
caused many cross-tres on the part Of counsel.
Judge Koch said the reason he had filed OBJ
iections was that during his occupancy of
the Bench he considered he had been in
suited, by Nichter making the following re-
mark That he wasn't seeking favors and
didn't care d for the Court or anybody
else" An effort was made to show that
Nichter was pecuniary interested in both the
retail and wholesale business. but this was
denied by the applicant, who sald his mother
owned the wholesale business. The courts
decision was reserved.

The Boy is not an animal, yet he can be heard to considerable distance. When q Boy hollers he opens his mouth like frogs, but girls hold their'tongue till they are spoke to, and they answer respectable and tell just how it was. A Boy thinks he is clever because he can wade where it is deep but God made the dry land for every living thing, and rested on the seventh. When the Boy grows up he's called a husband and stays out nights, but the grew up girl is widow and keeps house.
