MONMOUTH COUNTY COURTS.

Belmar's anti-liquor contingent
won a notable victory Monday morn.
ing when Judge Foster refused to
csreut the renewal of licensa t0rtpfFiy
held by John Bennett, Mrs. Kate
Larkins aud the Stratford Inn. Thus
it is that the saloons are disposed OF
for a year at least.
Petitions of reInonstance bearing
the signatures of 700 people were
placed in the hands of Judge Foster,
who was anxious to learn the trend
of public sentiment in relation to the
sale ofliquor in or on the outskirts of
Belmar. He Immediately decided
upon perusing the document not TO
renew the licenses and intimat1d If
the people were opposed to SoIofgpn
Michelsohn, now the only dealer in
West Belnar, continuing his business
after his license Terminated he would
consider their petitions. Only sQ0
names were signed to the petition
against the renewal of the license of
Mrs. Kate Larkins, while twice that
number were upon the other
petitions. It was generally admitted
by the anti-liquor people that Mrs.
Larkins conducted the most orderly
OF the three saloons.
The police of BelInar, Asbury Park
and other neighboring resorts will be
glad to know that Judge Foster has
practically wiped out the liquor traf
tic of West Belmar, which has caused
them no end of trouble. The officials
of the Atlantic Coast Electric Rail-
road company will also be pleased, as
they weregreatly troubledby drunken
negro and white passengers. Two OF
the saloon keepers mentioned, it is
understood catered to the negroes and
permitted gambling and other unla W.
full pleasures to be induleged in their
places.
Property in West Belmar during the
past three years has decreased In,
value over go per cent. People have
been compelled to move away and it
has been impossible to rent property
owing to the disgraceful scenes which
were enacted almost nightly in at
least two of the saloons, Mrs. Larkins,
it is understood was opposed upon
general principles and not because
she kept disgraceful saloon

Lonu Branch Loses Suit.

The Court of Errors and Appeals,
has decided in favor of the Tintern
Manor Water Company and again st
the city of Long Branch in the long
drawn out water litigation.
The decision is sweeping one. In
stead of the city paying $3.50 q year
for water for fire and sprinkling pur-
poses, the figure fixed under the con-
tract set aside four years ago, it will
be compelled TO pay $1,000.
The city OF Long Branch has had
no contract with the Tintern Manor
Water company since the expiration
of it's ten-years contract on Sept. 81,
1901. No understanding was reached
until November, 1909, when a con-
tract between the old Long Branch
commission and water company
was drawn. This contract was set
aside in a certiorari case on technl-
cality.
This left the city without any con-
tract for the serving of water for city
purposes and no payments were
made. Two years after the expira-
ton of the contract the water
company threatened to shut off
the supply of water une SIS
an understanding was reached
and payment made.
The commission went into the court
! of chancery, asking for an injunction
restraining the company from cutting
off the supply. The injunction was
granted on the express terms thatpay
ment of $4,000 be made for part of the
water used by the city within ter
days and monthly sum of $3.50 on
account, the Long Branch commission
and the water company agreeing tt
su limit the whole matters OF rates
both for the public and private users
of water, to the court of chaneery fol-

Detroit, Mich, March 22.-Two peo-

ers, all girls, were more or less seri-
ously hurt today when a south bound
Fourteenth avenue street car was
struck at the Fourteenth avenue cross
ing by a Michigan Central railway
train. The fatally injured: James G..

There were twenty-five passengers
on the ear, the majority of them girls
on their way to business. The car
stopped at the railroad crossing and
the conductor ran ahead as usual but
apparently did not see the approaching
train The view UP the track is some
what obscured by nearby buildings.
Just after the car passed under the
gates and on the crossing a flagman
sighted the approaching train and2ow-
cred his gates, but the car was already
on the track. Engineer Smith of the
train says that he did not see the
street car until he was within seventy
five feet of it. He instantly applied his
brakes, but the distance was too short
to stop the train. 1t struck the car,
which had stopped, in the middle,
splitting it in two and throwing the
wreckage fifty feet away against the
trolley pole.

REV. SHERIDAN DEAD.
Well Known EpiscopaIan Clergyman
Passes Beyond.


Grand Forks, N. D., March %. -
Rector Burleson has received word
of the death of a former well known
Episcopal divine of this state, Rev. HI.
J.. Sheridan. His death occurred at
Maiden, Mass, where he has been for
the past five years with his wife's peo-
pie since bad stroke of paralysis that
made him give up his clerical labors.
Mr. Sheridan has at different times
been located in charge of the parishes
at Mayville, Larimore, Lakota and
Jamestown. besides doing missionary
work at many other points. He was
a man of unusually small stature, but
stocky build, and was a great friend
of Bishop William ID. Walker, formerly
of this state. 1t was always matter
of comment and jest for themselves
and friends when they were together,
which they were often, Bishop Walker
being very large man magnificently
proportioned, and over six feet in
height, making the contrast very great.
The bishop was wont to speak of them
as "the high and low church of it," Mr..
Sheridan was man of strong, vigor-
lous and forceful character and
throughout the west the churches he
has built viii live as monuments to his
memory and work as Christian sol
dier.

Owing to the condition of the river
it was with some difficulty that water
was secured and after the water supply
was secured the efforts of the firemen
were directed to saving the adjoin-
ing buildings.
The fire, it is believed. is of incen-
diary origin, and is being Investigated
by the East Grand Forks authorities.
The officials are led to the belief that
the fire hall was set on fire because
of the fact that after o'clock in the
evening the hall is locked up and is
not occupied.
The loss on the three buildings, to-
gether with the electric light plant
equipment, will reach $4,000. OF this
amount total Insurance of $12,40O is
carried on all three buildings.

CARRY CASE TO
SUPREME COURT
FAMOUS KENMARE PARK CASE
HAS BEEN APPEALED.
Supreme Court VIII Hear the Case In
This city--No Chance of Improving
the Plot Until the Court Decides the
Case.

Kenmare, N. ID. March 22.--The
famous Kenmare park case has been
appealed to the supreme court, and
much to the regret of the citizens gem
orally prohibits contemplated improve
ment in that portion OF land situated
in the center of the business section,
commonly called "the square"
The park was set aside by the town
site owners at the time the original
townsite was plated for the location
Of a court house at such time when
Ward county would be divided and the
seat Of the new county located at Ken
mare.
In July, 1905, the townsite owners,
notably e. C. Tolley and w. e. Smith
undertook to plat "the square into
lots and dispose of the same, where
upon injunctional proceedings were
commenced by number OF our citi-
zens to prevent such action and the
case was heard before Judge CoWan at
Minot the following month, from which
d decision was rendered during the
fore part of 1905 in favor of the de-
fendants.
II was the general sentiment of those
connected with the defense at the
former hearing that suitable coInpro-
mise would be made to bring about
settlement, but for some reason or
other effort was never made in that di-
raction and hence the barren square
win necessarily be an eyesore for some
time to come. The land is estimated
to be worth $4,000,
