PREsBYTERIANS TO EXTEND CALL.
Congregational Meeting of the Presbyterian
Church to MeeI at $50 O'clock This. Evening.

Sunday was an interesting day at the
Presbyterian Church because of the
fact that it was the opening of the
union services of Presbyterians and
Methodists to be held for two weeks
while repairs are going on at Asbury
M. e. Church. As noted last week,
the Presbyterians extended an invita-
ton to the Methodists to worship with
them while their church was torn up
and having accepted their generous
invitation, there was a large attend
ance. Both denominations filled the
church nearly to its capacity. The
Rev. Henry P. Saunders, of fancy
town, Nd, one of the candidates for
our Presbyterian pulpit, was present
and preached acceptably both morn
ing and evening. This evening there
will be congregational meeting at the
Presbyterian Church at which time a
vote will be taken on the several can
didates and one Of them called to be-
come pastor of the Smyrna Presby-
terian Church to succeed the Rev. J..
L. Estlin who resigned several months
ago. Next Sunday the Rev. DIR.
Robert Watt, pastor of Asbury M. E.
Church will fill the Presbyterian pull
pit morning and evening.

MIODLETOWN AND ODESSA
HOTELS REFUSED LICENSE
COURT REFUSED TO RENEW LICENSE TO J.
P. MCINTYRE AND c. M. LLOYD.
Anti-Sa People Win Ia Their Fight and
Judges Would Not Extend License Because
Of Viola ions of the Law and Disorder.

Judges in the Court of General SEES
slons at Wilmington on Saturday re-
fused to renew the liquor licenses for
two of the oldest hotels in sthe county.
One refused was that of John p Nc
Intyre of the Middletown Hotel, whose
application was/ heard on Saturdays
week before, and the other refused was
that of Charles Nj. Lloyd, of Odessa,
against whom a remonstrance was pre-
sented on the ground that the place
was not necessary and that there had
been some disorder there. The place
of which Lloyd is proprietor, has been
licensed for about fifty years. The
court also heard the contest over the
application of William Hagan, of Della
ware City, for license, and the license
was granted. Within the past six
months the judges in the three coun-
ties have deprived several hotels of
licenses, their most surprising move
being refusal to renew the licenses
for the hotels in Milford, where no
i licensed saloon now exists. In the
case of Charles M. Lloyd, of the Odessa
Hotel, Rev. Mr.. Houck the Presby-
terrain minister, Rev. Mr.. Gunby the
Methodist minister, Mrs. Watkins and
Mrs. Mary G. +. Corbitt testified that
the place was disorderly. 1t was also
alleged that MIR. Lloyd violated the
law with regard to screens. z. T.
Atherly, Former Levy Court Commits
sioner John g. Armstrong, James L.
Shallcross and others testified in favor
of Mr.. Lloyd, while Attorney Hayes,
representing Mr.. Lloyd, submitted g
list of names asking that the license be
renewed.
John 2. Mcintyre, proprietor of the
Middletown Hotel, whose application
before the Court was fully reported il
last weeks Times, as soon as he heard
of the decision of the Judges, closed
the bar of his house and no business
was done or Saturday afternoon o.
evening. The result was that the ba
of the National Hotel the only
remaining licensed hotel in Mid
dletown was crowded with thirst,
ones who came, not only to "whe
their appetite" but to discuss Nc
Intyre's "throw-down. The tow
was unusually quiet and the people
gathered on street corners and dis
cussed the closing of the Middleton
Hotel. The consensus of opini OIL
: seems to be that there was no particu
: lar opposition directed against tn
licensing of the hotel, but to granting
license to Mr.. Mcintyre. 1t is prob
2 able that Mr.. Mcintyre will dispose G
his personal holdings in the house
rent the property to a responsible
party and that license will be agai
, applied for.
