HUNT BROTHERS

Starr, charged with the illegal sale of
liquor in Millville, was the first
moved to-day. The allegation is that
Mr.. Starr, who keeps bottling place
on Broad street, in Millville, sold
liquor at divers times to divers per-
sons in. quantities from one quart to
five gallons. A large number of wit
nesses on the part of the State were
called who testified to having bought
beer from Mr. Starr in quantities
from one bottle up
Some of the witnesses were under
the influence of liquor while on the
stand and were inclined to be very
smart. Some of the answers of the
witnesses caused merriment in the
Court room and the Judge Informed
the audience that if order was not
maintained he would clear the Court
room.
The case looks like big one and is
being fought hard by John S.
Mitchell, counsel for the defendant
The Starr case came to an unex-
pected close, the defense not putting
in any testimony. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty at noon.

Chimney on Fire.

At one O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
an alarm of fire was turned in from
box 5s, corner Laurel and Myrtle
streets by Albert Loper. The alarm
summoned the Fire Department to the
residence of Road Overseer, William
Simpkins, 277 Cohansey avenue,
where a chimney was on fire. A
neglect to have the chimney cleaned
caused the trouble and the unburned
carbon collected from burning wood,
ignited. Firemen quickly climbed
to the roof of the house, and with
the aid of the chemical extinguisher
conquered the danger, Luckily the
blaze did not break through to the
interior of the house. The damage
was slight.

NOT SELL LIQUOR.
Too Near the Church and Council
Will Not Transfer His Lii
cenSe.

A special meeting of City Council
was held Friday night at the request
of Simon B. Kenan, who after being
granted liquor license found himself
in serious dilemma.
His place was to have been in the
Krauter block on South Pearl street,
but the tape measure found it to be
within one hundred and fifty feet of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church, and
under the rules that barred him.
The Council meeting was a special
and all the members were present
excepting Messrs. Lupton and Ackley.
Pesident Deal explained the situa-
tion to Council, and Kenan made ap-
plication for transfer of the license
from South Pearl street to the Cast
saloon building at Broad and Atlantic
streets.
A vote was taken upon the PROPOSE
ton and resulted in Kenan being
turned down. The vote was:
For transfer-Deal, Matthews, Sell
lers, Butler, Morrison-5.
Against transfer-McGear, Garri-
son, Ware, Woodruff, HurF, Nichols,
