M Saloons i'm the County.

Judoe Nichol on Saturday refused
every application for a liquor license In
Alexandria county. He gave as
reason that the county did not have
police protection as he construed the
Mann law. There were eleven apph-
cations aud all we're rejected.
After an all-day sesaion OF the Circuit
Court. for Alexandria county, at which
the liquor men were represented by
ATTORNEYS Mscher and MOncure and OPP
posed by the State Anti. Saloon League
and numerous remOnstrants, represented
by Attorney Frank Lyon, Judge Nicol
rejected all of the eleven applications Tor
licenses upon the ground that Alexan-
andria county is not provided with police
protection by the State.
Judge Nicol stated that it had been
his custom to grant all liquor licenses
where the people of the community did
NOT take sufficient interest in the matter
10 enter their protest, as was the case last
year. He said he might properly reject
all liouOr license in Alexandria county
upon the evidence presented to the court
showing that it was not to the material
interest of the county to have such
licenses. but he would enter an order
rejecting all licenses upon the ground
before stated.
The effect of this order will be to close
eleven saloons and to suppress all liquor
selling at Rosslyn on Sunday.
1t was stated by the court that under
the Mann liquor law no licenses could be
granted in communities where the state
did not furnish police protection indie
pendently ofthe county government, and
ahat Alexandria county is clearly unpro-
vided with such protection.
The friends of the liquor men predict
that speakeasies will take the place o.
the saloons.
A protest was filed in the court signec
By ali the officers and their wives at For
Myer and by about a hundred soldier
against the licensing Of saloons along thu
military road, AMI practically all thu
brick companies in Jefferson distnc
presented petitions Of protest agalns
granting any licenses in that locality
It was proved that two of the applicant
for liquor licenses had majority OF th
qualified voters on their petitions, but IN
majority represented less than per cen
of the property interests 10 the respec'lV
magistefial districts

Disturbed the Nest.

As was stated in the Gazette, a fight
occurred Saturday morning among two
colored men in the block bounded by
Cameron, Queen. Fayette and Henry
streets, in which bottles, stones and
knives we're used. Officers Smith and
Young soon appeared and took The prin-
cipals to the station house. They were
fined So each this morning. The square
described above has long been the retreat
of many idle negroes of both sexes, and
their orgies at night have often attracted
attention. The segregations at the eat
ing houses and some saloons in the
neighborhood are source of annoyance
to quiet people living in the vicinity;
Officers Smith, Nicholson, Ferguson and
Arlington last night made descent upon
a house and arrested number OF men
and women. When arraigned in the Po-
lice Court this morning the women as
serted that that they washed for the men
and the latter pretended that they had
called for their clothes when arrested.
The women were fined s. each and the
men $3.50

Ossining, N. Y.. March 14.-Albert T. Patrick, the condemned lawyer, who has been in Sing Sing prison for over two years under the sentence of death for the murder of William Marsh Rice, left the prison this morn' ing ill charge of Warden Johnson and a detective bound for Albany, where his case was to be argued in the court of appeals. Patrick appeared to be cheerful. The party went to New York, where they boarded an express train to Albany.
 The argument before the court of appeals on the application for a new trial was set for hearing at 2. D. m. An array of counsel headed by ex-Sen- atOr David B. Hill was engaged in behalf of Patrick.
 The condemned man has spent months in preparing for this legal bat. tie and contrary to the advice of his counsel insisted upon going to Albany to-day and using all his legal talent in coaching his lawyers. No one could do this as well as himself, he declared. Warden Johnson will return to Sing Sing prison with Patrick this evening.

 Great damage has been done to work under way at Venice.
 Two hundred feet of piling of the San Pedro breakwater has been wasn- ed away. Trains on the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are stalled by wash outs. Trees in various parts of the city were blown down by the high wind of Sunday. Many culverts were washed out and the streets badly dam aged.
