snses were granted as follows !:

Edward R. Smith, Mount Holly. 500
In granting license to Rogers the court
called attention to the fact that it would
be necessary for the applicant to watch
things very carefully in this venture.
Rogers has been tending bar for some
time, but this is the first time he has ever
tried running hotel for himself Judge
Gaskill said none of the former proprie-
living out of the hotel alone, and that it
was not possible to do so if the law was
strictly observed, and if it was not the
court would take hand.
John Kiessling, who was granted a IL
tense for a Riverside hotel, was also given
some good advice. The applicant said he
had been living in Philadelphia and had
never kept hotel before Judge Gaskill
told him he must be very careful or he
would break the law almost unconsciously
He said Riverside was place where there
was great disposition to get drinks at any
and all times, and warned the man to be
as his friends but who would be among
the first to give evidence against him.
The law regulating selling to intoxicated
persons was defined and mention was made
of that part of the statutes which forbids
hotel or saloon keeper from treating in
his own house on Sunday. With all these
things fairly set before him and under
stood the court said there would not be
any excuse for breaking the law.
The application of George Milschlagle,
who keeps a hotel near Jacobstown'
was laid over until the 18th Prosecutor
Atkinson had received letter regarding
this house which contained some damaging
charges. The writer, however, did not
have the courage to give his name and
Milschlagle's counsel thought this should
be sufficient to drop the matter and
grant the license. Judge Gaskill, how
ever, thought no injustice would BIT
wrought by the matter lying over unit
the 18th, especially as the license does moi
expire until the 10Th. In the meantime
the prosecutor will endeavor to ascertain
the truth of the charges, and the writer
of the letter If he has a desire to better
what he considers bad situation will
do good thing by giving his name tC
the officials.
A peculiar case was brought to light il
the application of John Blaufess, whole
sale dealer at Riverside He said he haC
mailed his application to the court, but tn,
county clerk said it had not reached tina
office, and where it is nobody seems tt
know. The law requires all application
to be filed before the opening day of eacl
term. The license does not expire unit
the 18th of October, so the matter wa
aid over until that time.
Albert Fisher applied for license for tn,
hotel at Atsion. This place was run by
man named Moss, who has skipped t.
save punishment for violation of the law.
William A. Slaughter, representing Fisher
said he held letters from many promineu
people in the neighborhood, some of whom
had opposed the license in the past
There were many people in the neighbor
hood and travelling through the place tina
needed entertainment and the hotel Il
needed. On inquiry it turned out tina
the majority of those who were favorabl,
did not live close by. Judge Gaskill sale
he would continue this application unit
the 14th, but if he felt then as he doe
now the request would not be granted
The hotel is in such an out of the wa,
place and has such a limited patron
age that the occupant cannot make
living from the legitimate business there
1t was this fact that caused the last land
lord to do things he had no business to do
The interests of persons owning valuabl
property in the neighborhood suffered be
cause of the sale of liquor to the employee
, who became drunk and neglected thei
! ! duties Mr.. Slaughter was told he woul,
! be heard on the 18th, but the chance
: of favorable decision were very muc
against him.
