Rehearing in Lisk Case.

4 re-hearing was yesterday had be-
fore Judges Archibald. Edwards and
Kelly on the rule to show cause why
the liquor license of John Lisk of the
Eighth ward should not be revoked.
Lisk is one of the licensed dea lers
charged by the Mems Union. with SELL
ing on Sunday. When the matter
came to be heard at the last term of
argument court Mr.. Lisk did not put
in an appearance. Last Monday
through Attorney Il. G. Newcomb, he
petitioned for re-hearing saying he
was inadvertently absent and that he
had u good defense to make. Court
agreed to hear him and fixed yester-
day as the time for the hearing.
Mr.. Lisk went on the stand and
explained that on Sunday. September
>, the day on which. it is charged, he
sold liquor. his bar room was closed
tight, but along in the afternoon he
came down stairs and ope ned the side
door to watch "A fight that was in
progress in the ALLEY, and that while
thus engaged some one got in and
induced his janitor, who was engaged
in clearing the barroom, to let him
have some beer. This intruder, Mr..
Lisk says. must have been the agent
of the Mems Union who reported him
for a seeming violation.
The Mems Union witnesses did not
deny that Mr.. Lisk's story was true
except in that they did not observe
any excitement in the alley when
they We're going in or coming out of
the hotel. They further said that
while they We're there another man
was probably liquor for which he
rendered 50 bill in payment.
Court took the matter under advise
ment. The petitioner was represented
by Attorney r. &. Newcomb. Col r.
l.. Hitchcock and f.. T.. Beers opposed
for the union.

THE OBJECTIONS MADE.

The objections made by f. l.. Day 4
Company, which Mr.. Vosburg does not
desire to make present just now, are,
in brief, that they do not believe the
bond issue was legally authorized, or,
in other words, that the special cleo
ton held to gain the consent of the
taxpayers was not conducted accord
ing to law.
The vote for the issue of sewer
bonds was recorded on the big ballot,
which contained the names of all the
candidates for Office to h. voted for.
Day & Company claim that, under the
law. there should have been special
ballots provided for this particular
question, and that these should have
been deposited in separate ballot
boxes.
There are several other minor obiec-
tons, but these are the more import
ant ones. All are purely technical,
but the company's attorneys believe,
nevertheless. that if any citizen so de
! sired he could go into court and have
the bonds declared illegal on purely
technical grounds, and for this rea-
son they advised them not to take the
issue.
with their bid certified check for
$4,000. which they will undoubtedly
make an effort to recover. The city,
too. will undoubtedly make an effort
to hold on to it, and as the result the
matter may be taken into court. If
this is done it will be decided whether
or not the bonds We're legally author
ized. II court should declare that they
fba,, 1,a r.it nf
not retain the $4,000.
SOLICITORS OPINION.
1t is understood that City Solicitor
Vosburg doesn't think much of the
objections made by II. L. Day & Com
pany from legal standpoint and that
he will so advise any councilmanic
committee which may be appointed.
He has already sent communications
to each of the other eleven firms who
bid on the bonds the same time Day &,
Company did, informing them of the
latters refusal to take the issue and
giving them the reasons for this re-
fusal. He also requests them to send
in new bids or renew their old bids,
if they so desire, after q knowledge
of the facts.
He is confident that the majoEity of
these bidders will send in renewals of
their old bids and that in this way
the issue can be easily and quickly
tloated. The bonds are all ready for
issuance and all that would be neces-
sary would he to have councils jointly
award the issue to the highest bidder.
1t is probable that the new bids will
be received before next Thursday
night, SD that action can be taken on
that occasion.
The next highest bidder to r. L. Day
& Company was n. w. Harris & Com
pany, of New York, whose bid for 3la
