The Vote Necessary for License.

William McGowan has brought ac-
ton in the Superior Court, through
his attorney, Geo. c. Israel, to COM
pei the city to issue him a license to
vcnd the ardent in the building where
the "Grecn Tree Saloon" once thrived
and nourshed. The plaintiff will
show that he deposited $500. with all
the papers necessary to constitute a
valid application; that at meeting
OF the Council, held Sept. 10th, the
proper committee reported favorably
on the proposition to grant said
license, which report was adopted by
a vote OF 1 to |, there being one
absentee and one vacancy on the
Council. That on vote to grant the
license, thu same Councilmmen, Free,
IO'Connor, Mack and Shore voted aye
and Work no; that thereupon the
Mayor declared the application re-
lected, and on demand made on the
23d inst. the Mayor declined to author
ize its issue. Wherefore the applicant
Institutes suit for a mandate OF the
court on the ground that majority of
the Council are empowered to grant
liquor licenses; that such action is
not granting q valuable" or "spe.
cial' privilege, or franchise, which
by statute it is conceded. requires five
votes OF the Council to grant, as has
been held by the Mayor 1t is upon
the interpretations the court places on
that term that the contention hinges.
Mr.. Vance, it is said, will, if this &C.
ton is successful, demand a license for
Mr.. Cunningham, on the same grounds,
but with this difference: The vote
for the Cunningham license received
the support of only three members,
which is neither majority OF full
Council of seven, or OF the Abbreviated
body of six. Besides, the opponents
of Mr.. C. contend that they have
record evidence OF his violation OF the
State law under his former license,
and that he necessarily comes under
the class OF people who are prohibited
by statute from enjoying the "privi.
lege" OF whisky.selling, be it special, OF
valuable, or otherwise. They take nc
stock in the lightly-dwelt.upon claim
of Mr.. Vance that the vote on adOp.
ton of recommendation of the COun.
ellis committee, relieves his client oil
culpability. They note that he dwell
upon this method OF regeneration as
if treading upon eggs, and base a be-
lief thereon that it was a virtual &C.
acknowledgement of its untenability.
The present object is, of course, to
ascertain the intent OF the Lawmakers
in use of somewhat ambiguous term
but the power they had to provide fol-
regulation. control or prohibition oil

THE City Council have taken up the

run up against an actual or perpetual

a walk on Third street, between WASH

careless hoodlum and a lighted
match or cigar stump to involve the
town in a coniiagration. If they are
in search OF real nuisanccs, they might
devote some attention to the menagerie
on the Higgins hotel block. where
lowing COWS, bleating calves, kicking
horses, and other rural sounds disturb
by day and prevent slumber the life
long night. If the council will turn a
deaf Gar to cranks and listen moment
to reason, they will confer a lasting
favor upon class OF the community
who are patient in long.suffering and
slow to kick under severe provocation.

Is any better proof wanted of the
perfidy of "Gold" Democrats, than
that the administration is recognizing
the claims of those arch traitors to
the Democratic party by frequent ap-
pointment to important positions?

Geo. E. Rooster, of South Carolina,

The company will arrive Sunday and

The company will arrive Sunday, and
the procession at noon Monday, will
be something unique in character,
headed by the first automobile ever
brought to this city. The As perform.
ers headed by the magnificent band,
clad in resplendant colors will form a
pageant seldom seen outside large
cities.
Among the specialists we have but
space to allude to few of the leading
ones. The premier star comedian,
Billy Clark. is the coming man in
minstrelsy, who with comedy, singing,
fine music, elegant special scenery, and
star vaudevilles tops out one of the
strongest bills on the minstrel boards.
An innovation is the appearance of
the child prodigy, Viola Abt, the little
dancing star and character soubrette.
Then, there is Mr.. J. A. Probst, the
human song-bird, who gives one of the
most wonderful exhibitions on the
vaudeville stage. The famous Broth
ers Bard perform the most daring and
seemingly impossible feats of strength
and vanlting; one turning rows OF fiips
to upright and stand on the Others
outstretched hands; one balances an
other at arms length, using the arm
like trapeze bar. Another almost
incredible feat is the locking of hands
behind the shoulders and gradually
rising to hand balance at arms
length upwards. The interesting pro.
gramme is a long one and filled with
latest up-to'date ideas and novelties.
A splendid double quartet and full
chorus of fourteen voices add very
much to the effect of ballads.
The vaudeville list embraces a host
OF new features, including the little
tot Viola Abt, an exquisite danseuse
and toe expert, the singing comedians,
Harvey and Cooley; the dancing
comedians, Corrigan and Dove, and
the musical comedians, Cook and
Hall.

While brandishing razor, a miner
named Eugene Mosat was shot and
almost instantly killed by John
Soiges in his clearinghouse at Wilke-
son about 3 80 Monday morning. 1t
seems that Mosat was carousing with
several other boarders of Soiges,
when he arose from his bed and
went down to stop the disorderly con-
duct. AT this Mosat took otfense and
amusing himself with razor made
an assault upon Soiges, who shot him
in self.defense.
