Such is the Courts Decision in Union.
 town Dispensary Law.

tOWh Dh1pcnsoFy LaWs
 The citizens of Uniontown who were determined to substitute dispensary for the saloon, are having untold trou- ble in carrying into effect their cher ished wish. For the second time a Uniontown dispensary law has been de- clared unconstitutional by a court of law.
 The last decision, which was rend- erday. yesterday. knocked out the law which was passed by the last Legislature. The news of the ac- tion of the Perry Circuit Court in the case was contained in a brief telegram received yesterday from Col. Charles G. Brown. The telegram said "Gained the case; no necessity for certificate. '
 Colonel Brown was the attorney for Joe Green. a saloon keeper, in two cases affecting the validity of the Uniontown dispensary law. Secretary McDavid had been subpoenaed to ap- pear in the trial with a certified copy of the act which was under fire. It Is presumed that the effect of the decision is that the saloons of Uniontown will remain open.
