The greatest list of applications for
liquor licenses that ever confronted
the judges of the LackIwanna county
court was ready for consideration when
the annual term OF license court opened
yesterday. Judges Archibald, Edwards
and Kelly were on the oench when the
court opened but before noon Judge
Archibald was summoned to Washing
ton, and the other two Judges con-
tinued to hear the applications for III,
remainder of the day.
Good progress was made and when
court adjourned il had reached Throop
borough. BY noon today II is probable
that the work Of license court will be
over.
Never before was there such a large
number of applications ror new houses
and houses which were licensed for
wears but have not been for the last
one. two or three. The prosecutions of
the Municipal league have had an ef-
feet all over the county. but more cs-
pecially in this city.
How great a change has been brought
about may he CLEANED from the fact
that the Twelfth ward. which has not
had a licensed drinking place within
IlS tbllIlleS IbG years anu NtdlS' nus
actually two applications OIL file. They
are from Martin Nealon, who wants to
conduct hotel at 30l Prospect ave-
nue.. and W. h. Lafferty and p. ].
Mawn. who propose to entertain the
public at 800 Prospect avenue. The
court said if would be unnecessary for
the attorneys to urge any reasons why
these should be granted. They are
well known.
Strong objection was made to the
granting of a license to Charles Raine.
| of the First ward Colonel j.. l.. Hitch
| cock. who appeared for the remon-
| STRANGE. said that Raine had sold
| liduor without a license and that the
people in his vicinity do not want a
hotel where Hanc proposes 90 cstab-
| lish his. at the intersection of the
| Boulevard aud Olyphant road. Attor-
ney T.. W. Thayer, who appeared for
Ranc. said he was not guilty of sell
| ing liquor illegally and that the people
| of his vicinity are almost unanimous
| in their desire to see him get license.
There was also strong objection to
| the granting of Il license TO Oscar :.
| Bandrick. at Clark's Summit. for the
| alleged reasons that "A hotel is unnec-
essary there and that II is close to a
| school and church.

Opinions were handed down yester-

that il was unconstitutional.
