Circuit Court.

OAA ONAAO Wv IA Ia
The March Term of Circuit
Court convened Monday with
Judge Thomas w. Harrison pre-
siding.
The first matter to come up was
the applications for saloon licenses.
Licenses were granted to the fol-
lowing without contest:
John b. Cornwell, Agent; West
side of Church street.
Richard jackson; West side Of
Church street.
!. w. Metz; West side of
Church street, near Main.
j. III. Savage: Main street.
+. II. Thornton; Battletown
Inn, Main street.
When the applications of Har-
ford & Go. and G. W. Mayhew.
for licenses on the East side of
/ Church street, came up. great
deal ofopposition was encounterr
Mayhew's application vas with
drawn.
\ petition. signed. 10y all of the
residence owners on church street.
the owner OF the COURIER luildirr.
and other citizens, members and
attendants at Grace Episcopal
Church, WAS presented to the
Court. and number of ,he signcrs
were summoned 90 give their rcaS-
ons for opposing the opening Of
saloons on the East sidc-of Church
street.
The reasons presented for oppos-
ing the granting OF licenses for the
East side of the street were:
Property ou Church street would
be injured in value and made less
desirable because Of the additional
saloons;
= Neither side of the street would
then be free from the disorder and
obscene language which is now
confined principally to the West
side:
I That persons having business at
the Courthouse or any other place
on the upper end of Church street
would be forced to pass through
the crowds around and i'm front of
the saloons;
That members and attendants
of Grace Episcopal Church would
have TO pass the saloons. and that
/ the attendance at Church services
would be seriously intcrfcred with,
as majority of the attendants are
ladies';
That the present police force Of
the town tone officer would be in
sufficient to maintain peace and
order in the town, as it is believed
that a large part of his time would
be taken up in patrolling Church
street, TO the neglect of other por-
tons of the town.
The saloon interests were repre-
sented by \. Moore, j.. while f.
b. Whiting, of Berryville, and
Robert NJ. Ward. of Winchester.
represented the Contestants.
Al of Monday and until late
hour at night was consumed in
taking testimony in the case.
The matter was again taken up
/ Tuesday morning, and the testi-
mony was completed.
Arguments will be heard in the
case tomorrow Thursday, and the
Court will render It's decision.
rs soon rs the testimony I'm the
Hartford application was completed
the application of John T. Lindsey
at Berrys, was taken mp. This
case was also contested, and the
evidence is now being heard. The
case will probably be completed
today.
The next application to come M
will be that of r. =. Conner, al
the former stand of Il. :. Bryarly
between Boycc and White Post
1t is believed there will be opposi
tion to this application also, bu
nothing could be learned positively
in the matter.
