PENNSGROVE
HAD DRY WEEK
Court Will Decide Tomorrow
Whether Village Shall
Stay Dry

Never in it's history has Pennsgrove
been excited as it is over the question
whether the sale of liquor shall be
continued. Pennsgrovs has one Ii.
censed drinking place. the large hotel
which Joseph C. French has conduct
ed nearly 40 years.
Judge Sinnickson will decide tomor-
row whether French's license shall be
renewed. When this license was as
sailed in court last Tuesday and the
Judge fixed next Tuesday for hearing
for both sides he gave French per-
mission to sell until a decision was
rendered. The hotel proprietor de-
clined to take advantage of the Courts
ruling, but promptly closed his place,
and Pennsgrove experienced a real dry
week.
When the French application came
up last Tuesday, J. Warren Davis. at
torney, presented a remonstrance sign
ed by 130 persons, one-third of whom
are voters, the signers representing
l121 homes. Mr.. Davis informed the
court that the remonstrants had no
complaint against Mt French or the
manner in which he conducted his
place. but they thought the town would
be better off if the sale of liquor
therein were forbidden.
Senator J. Boyd Avis, of woodbury.,
and l. Oakford Acton made eloquent
appeals in behalf of French. They
argued that no specific charges had
been made in the remonstrance and
that Pennsgrove, which is the termi-
nus of the Delaware River Railroad
and a stopping place for many boats
which ply on the river, should have a
licensed hotel.
Meanwhile advocates and opponents
Of dry town have been very busy.
The remonstrants have obtained more
signers, and French's friends have cif
culated a petition setting forth the
reasons, in their opinion, why the Ii
cense should be renewed.

the town Of Ridgeley, and caused two
indictments by the Grand Jury. A

The baby was left at the home of the

Doctor Richards said:
"Ihe baby was taken TO Mr.. Ritchey's
after an agreement between Mr.
Ritchey and myself as to what COM
pensation he should receive for the
baby's maintenance. in case the infant
was taken away.
After axreeing on terms, went and
got the child. which was then in the
care OF a competent midwife, and de-
livered it to Mr.. Ritchey. I also gave
him milk and instructed him how to
prepare it for the child. All went well
until 1 called and they thought they
would have to give up the child.
"The Ritcheys talked so unreasonably
that 1 thought IL best 10 have a writ

took it over to Ritchey and he refused
to sign IT, We then had a little
trouble. which amounted to nothing
nor will it amount to anything, despite
the efforts of few conspirators either
ignorant. evil-minded or jealous"
Harry d. Ritchey said in reply;
ITO the parents of the baby who viii
call in person at my house, prove that
it is their own child. and pay me for
my troubles. 1 viii give it up.
Without this proof, the infant viii

Doctor Richards. who was indicted
by the Caroline Grand Jury, volun-
tarily gave bond in $500 for his ap-
pearance at the fall term of the Cir
cult Court
